going, had beau. She was answered in
the affirmative. She then asked the ques-

asked her aunt if she had man. The lat

but following the quaint wisdom of the
child, take some gum along, and YOU will be
happy.

A BISHOPS RETORT

It is related of the late Bishop of Win
chester, as all illustration of his ready wit,
that some years ago, when visiting at the
country seat of a well-known nooleman, the
Bishop allowed himself TO be persuaded to
join shooting party. On his return, his
mob G hoA mentioned that his gamekeeper
was q Dissenter, and although he did not
wish to interfere in the religious opinions Of
his employers, still, as all the rest of the
servants went to church, he should like this
man to go. Would the Bishop speak to him.
If he would use his well known persuasive
power, doubtless he might overcome the
scrupes OF the keeper as to entering .
church. The Bishop expressed himself de-
lighted with the request, and proceeded at
once to the Keepers cottage. Entering with
his usual frank and kindly greeting which
few could resist, he soon established himself
in the good grsces of his humble host, and
gradually led the conversation to spiritual
matters. At length, when he thought he
had sufficiently gained the confidence Of the
man, his lord:hp said, "By-the-by, how is it
that don't see you at church? You know
it is our duty to look after these things.
Surely you don't see anything in the Bible
against going to church? ?" "No, my lord,
neither do I see anything in the Bible to
warrant preacher Of the Gospel in going
out shooting; the Apostles never did"
''No,' replied the ready-witted Bishop;
''true, they had no game in Palestine in
those days-they went out fishing instead"

Those Texan Quill Drivers.

For a week past, a large party of Texas
editors have been cavorting about the coun-
try, interviewing Chicago, st. Louis and
other cities. At the latter city they were
received with grand demonstrations, were
hauled all over town in splendid equipsges,
shown the big bridge, the hole under the
streets by which railroad trains reach said
bridge from tho west, Shaw's Garden,
Cooks wine cellar, the Fair Grounds, and
ia short, everything the st. Louis folks had
to show them.
From st. Louis thu party proceeded to
Louisville, and judging from the following
dispatch received last night, from that city,
a portion of the party will reach Nashville
today, on their return home. The dis
patch is as follows:
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 22.-Owing 10 heavy
rain, the entertainment of the Texas Press
Assoc alton was confined to the Exposition
building, where handsome banquet was
given TO night. The whole party spent
some time in the Exposition to-day and were
highly pleased. Fifteen members of the
party accepted an invitation of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad to go on an excursion to
Ea tern cities, and will leave tomorrow.
The remainder return home tonight via
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Chas.
Babcock, agent of the Vandslia line, was
presented with cane by the excursionists
on takrng leave of him this morning.

chased new pair Of pants Saturday. When
be got home bis wife was mixing bread.
She wiped her bands on her apron and
made careful examination of tho pants.
First she pincted one leg Of them and
asked him what he paid for them, and then
pinched the other and asked him if he
didn't think it was too much. After
that he stood eff Always so she
could get ook at the fit, so
as to form right opinion Of 1t. She
pinched them again, taking up bis les
and cycling it thoughtfully while he
clutched the table with his hand and hoped
around on the other leg TO rest himself. She
was not quite confident that they were all
colton-those clothing people do lie So
but she was not quite sure. However, she
could tell better at the window, and drew
him over there, 10 the imminent danger Of
tipping him over and breaking his spine.
She rubbed hem again and turned up the
leg SO as to see the other side, and all the
while her mind gathered doubts and fore
bodings. If he had only said be was going
to buy a pair Of pants, she would have went
with him herself and picked them out. But

Of cloth from another and viii put Off my
thing on him. Then she abruptly dropped
his leg, and went to the back door and call
ed Mrs. Mugent. Mrs. Mugent came in,
and, being made acquainted with
the particulars, pinched Mr.. O'Clarence's
legs herself ard asked him why be didn't
buy the cloth and have his pants made at
home. Mrs. Mugent said an uncle of Mr..
Mugent, who lived in Bridgeport, got pair
of ali-wool pants last April for S., and you
would have thought they cost $40. if cent;
the cloth was ust as fine and firm as any
thing could be. MIR. Mugent would some.
times get the impression that be must have
his pants ready made, but be always got
cheNed. She was positive there was not a
bit of wool in these pants, and if they were
Mr.. Mugent's, she would have them taken
back. This is exactly what Mrs. O'Clarence
thought, and in spite Of Mr.. O'Clarence's
protestations, he took them back and get
another pair.

In 1S4l peddler came to Bowling Green
in two wheeled vehicle, to sell his wares
at public auction on County Court day. His
supply of this worlds goods was. quite
meagre. The pight sitter his arrival here,
some mi:chievous boys took of one OF the
wheels of his vehicle, carried it out to Curd's
pond and there deposited It. The next day
the peddler was sorely distressed at bis mis-
fortune, and thus elected the symp thy Of
the late Maj, Archie Buckner, who was
then keeping hotel where Bradley's store
is now located. Maj. Buckner offerrd the
unfortunate man room in the hotel IN
which to hold al auction Of his wares. The
offer was kindly acceptedj widespread
sympathy was aroused in the town for the
man, his auction was npmerouslY attended,
and he sold out all he had It comfortable
rates. The peddler then, with bis little pile
of money, proceeded on his way, leaving
his poor wagon behind.
A few days ago this same man made his
appearance in our city, after the lapse of 80
years. He proceeded to the Wooden Mills
and purchased from Mr.. S. S. Potter, the
superintendent, one hundred bolts Of goods,
manufactured BIZ that establishment. Hav-
ing shipped the stock to its destination, he
proceeded to New York city for the purpose
OF laying in large and magnificent stock
of goods. His heart was deeply moved in his
reference to the generous treatment which,
in his poverty, he had received at the hands
of the lamepted Archie Buckner, and many
other noble people of our city. The name
of this once wandering peddlef is Mr.. Fish
