Democratic carry.all:
For all its age and battered condi
ton, the old democratic carry-all is
yet IL vehicle. 1t amt much tor
show. 1t amt fine and stylish
vehicle. 1t amt g,lt.edged char
lot. But it'll go. 1t has wheels and
tongue and, if we could get
couple of good wheelhorses, and
stop the mouth of that Internal old
baby down in Georgia, we think
there is some safe travelling in it
even as it is. At all events, we see
no other vehicle in sight except our
little friend Grants new tangled
coach. and six, and the bob tail po-
MES, and that doesn't suit us.
Therefore we don't mean to get ont
of our carry-a!l and take it aioot
over an unknown country. Nor
can we stop to help Carl Schurz
make a new vehicle. We do not
pretend to say that he will fail
We do not premise that his vehicle
will not be stout and safe. We
don't even know but that we shall
be glad enough to be taken into it
in case our old calry-all breaks
down. But, for the present, it
seems to us best to stick to the Gus.
sed old critter, and try to make it t
do. Wen take our chance at a run g
and Jump if Carl Schurz's new drag !
catches up and is likely to get too d
far ahead of us. That old Georgia i
baby is a mighty nuisance, and we 5
have two or three big brats here in $
Kentucky that keep up more noise a
than there's any use for. But when :
we get the horses hitched and star. +
ted, and the old carry.al begins to
rattle along as if the wildcats were
atterit, they'll shut up like little men.
SO, here's luck to Schurz-tor we
wish him weli-and here's confusion
to the coach and six with the lob {
-ailed ponieS-and here's our best :
endeavors for the old carry all, till it {
breaks down or goes to smash .
