march in low, dismal tones. Near
ly every one had an excuse tol

said i,e, and his voice quavercd,
| ''you know what is up. Kirby

Cincinnati. True, we are hum

cheer.)
Then the captain drew his men
up in line and said "Those who
are willing aud anxious to 90 will
step out to the front"
One man responded. The cap.
tain gave him long and plying
look, and then turning to his first
officer with sorrowful shake Of
the head, he said: Hes been
drinking" But no other Tiger
had been drinking-not that kind
of liquor. Like their captain, they
all had pressing business that
would not permit them to 60 be-

that a child could have put a lit

without the least resistance. Ev-
cry mans musket seemed to weigh
a ton, and to this day you can tell
man in BSmptown who belongs
to the Tigers, he lops so on the
side he shouldered arms with.
Well, the Tigers didn't march
to the front. They didn't disbaud
exactly, but they sort of dropped
apart. What became of those
gay uniforms with the tigers
on them no one ever knew. Not
one of them has been seen since.
Ard the flag, too, has disappeared.
But you occasionally meet a man
IN Bumptown very much Topped

weight of that musket on the day
the Tigers were ordered to the
front.

TIE CoTToS CRoP.-The Columbus
(Ga.) Inquirer says: We have now to
call the attention ofcotton planters to the
fact that the planters ofTexas are report
ed to be preparing for very large cotton
crop in that State next year. They made
a superintendent corn crop this year
and most of them will have to hold over
so as to allow them to apply nearly al
their labor to cotton. Most planters ir
Georgia and Alabama also made more corn
than usual-thanks to very favorable sea
sons-will next year feel freer to DO their
best in the production Of cotton. These
facts are worthy Of consideration in
"pitching the crops" Of 1879.

A MATIN LAY.

HarH! All the woodland rings
Joyous with songi
Roses the morning aings
Pesrl-cloads along.
When shuts thy lattice, dear,
Ny sun is set,
And until thou appear,
Day is no: yet.
With thee all good things wake;
Harm from thee flies,
As reptiles haunt the brake
Till the cay dies.
Thou, 10 my heart aione
Bringcst delight;
Der it when thou art gone
Felleth the night.
Flashing the reaper's scythe
Giints in the sun;
Flocks DER the meadows blithe
Gambol and run;
Bright buds to tempt thine eyes
Smiling expand;
Fruits clad in summer dyes
Wait but thy hand.
Sweet though the lutte may be,
Touched not, 'tis mute;
Waiting thy minstrelsy,
My hearts the lutte.
Thoughts that, bereft OF words,
There silent throng,
Do thou but wake the chords,
Bu.s. into song.

The BumptoWn Tigers.
A REMINIscENCE OF THE WAR.

It was an exciting day in
Bumptown when the order was
received for the "Bumptown I'll.
gers" 10 report at once TO-,
and march to Cincinnati to repel
Kirby Smith. The Tigers were
an independent military organiza-
ton, designated as home guard
They sported a gorgeous uniform,
and on the breast Of each zouave
shirt was embroidered the head
Of ferocious tiger, eyes glaring,
jaws extended, and fangs exposed,
cmblematic Of the eternal read
mess of the Tigers to "chaw up"
any and all VIII" might oppose
them.
The flag Of the Tigers, borne so
proudly at their head on parade
days, was also adorned with o
picture Of the lord of the jungle
in the act of springing upon an
imaginary foe. The flag was pre-
sented to the Tigers by the ladies
Of Bumpton, who constructed it,
and although they had put an ele-
plants tail on the tiger, and
made his head a size or two larger
than his body, yet it would have
been fatal for any traitorous era,
ven in Bumpton to insinua.e that
it wasn't a good tiger.
The presentation Of the flag
was made one day in the presence
of all Bumptown, and when the
gallant captain of the Tigers took
it in his hands and swore by all
the gods at once that it should
never be trailed in the dust sc
long as there was single Tiger
left alive, the welking rang with
the most enthusiastic cheers, sue
ceeded by annumbered "Tigers-
ah-ah-ah !"
Oh, but it was a proud thing te
see the Tigers, all in their gay
uniforms, with polished bayonets
cleaning in the sun, march to the
depot to receive a squad of battle
SCARED veterans returning home
on parole, or escorting a noble
and impetuous band Of drafted
men and substitutes on their way
to the front.
And yet, Notwithstanding theil
warlike aspect and tigerish EN-
blems, they were the mildest anc
most inoffensive Of men when a
their daily avocatlons. Collect
lively, they were in favor Of wal
to the knife and knife to the hilt
There was no species of bloody
and atrocious warfare they dit
not believe in when clad in theil
uniforms; but personally and il
everyday life they were opposed
to strife. So you can fancy thei1
dismay when, following quickl.
the news of Kirby Smiths raid
came the Governors order t.
march against the foe.
In accordance with the com
mand of their captain, however
they assem- bled at the armory,
pale, sad, dispirited lot of men
They didn't put on their brillian
uniforms, with the tiger heads OF
them, they didn't shake out tn
folds of their tiger banner. The.

After some further cOnversa

After some further converSa-
ton, the admiral called for his
barge, and, with the feet engineer
and the captain: came on board
our ship. Sauchich was sent for,
and when confronting the stern
old Dahlgren, quaiIed and covered
like thief detected. He told con-
Trajectory stories, interlarded with
protestations of innocence, until
he was shown Willie Deans knife,
and asked to explain how it came
to be stuck in the yard, when he
assumed an impudent and defiant
attitude, and said they could not
make murderer of him, etc.
Just as he was giving vent to
these remarks, and while the ad-
miral was studying lis villainous
countcnancc, a cry Of horror arose
from aft, where the crew had just
hauled up the propeller from the
water at the wish Of the chief en-
gineer, and there, jammed and torn
into an almost unrecognizable
mass, was the body of Willie Dean,
with Sanchich's knife sunk deep
in the breast and through the
heart. Portions Of his clothing
had filled the slot and jammed the
shaft, as the vessel backed over
and caught up the body with her
propeller.
l now lost my temper, and all
sense Of respect for my superiors,
and catching Sanchch by the
throat. [ forced him aft to look
upon his horrible work. I pulled
the knife from the ghastly wound
and held it under his eyes, charg.
ing him with the murder.
One long hellish look in silence
he gave the corpse, but with the
rapidity Of lightning, he snatched
the knife from my hand and sunk
it to the handle in bis own breast,
instantly falling dead at my feet.
Never shall | forget the counte.
nance Of this murderer, as he lay
in the cold, dull rays of a Decem-
Der sun, stiff and dead, within ten
feet Of his victim, whom he had
fondly imagined down deep in the
sea but it was wllled otherwise,
for murder will out.

A NOVEL BATH.-One Of the therapeu.
tic novelties in London, recently introdu-
ced from the Continent, consists in the
erection Of Establishments for administer.
ing hot sand baths, as a remedy for rheu-
matism, recent cases of nervous disorders,
affection Of the kidneys, all cases where
heat is wanted as the chief therapeutic
agent. The advantages of this treatment
are that it does not suppress respiration
like the hot water bath, bat rather
increases it, and does not interfere with
the respiration like the steam bath or
Turkish bath. The body can endure its
influence for much longer time, and a
much higher temperature can be applied.
1t can be used for infants, and permits
Of easy application 10 part or to the
whole body.
