A BIG WOLF HUM IN TTPTON.
Upton Record. Sept. IL.

AtNSA N~eT GNlNH ~
D. A. BaIlew and Charley Pace
went out to hunt squirrels about ten
miles north east Of Covington, in
Hatchie bottom, when they suddenly
came upon a gang of even wolves,
wallowing In the sand, and seemingly
enjoying themselves hugely. The two
young men fired upon them, but their
guns being charged only with small
Shot, they only succeeded in slightly
w~ounding one or two or these midnight
providers. The next day they renewed
the hunt with dogs, and after a consid-
cradle chase. the entire pack of seven
were killed. This sounds a little like
the days of Dayy Crockett, and the
young men deserve the thanks of all
sh~eep-raisers in hat neighborhood.

HON. A1ExAypER II. STEpEENs ba,

Hon. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS has
every reason to be fattered with the
esteem and appreciation which his con-
stituents have for him. In a letter to
a friend, which was read before the
nominating convention, he replied as
follows to an inquiry as to whether he
would accept anomination: 1T is true
that | have entirely recovered from that
severe attack of rheumatism from
which l was suffering when l wrote to
the Greene County Committee, and
Just at this time l am In as good health
as | have been for the last twelve
months, but so precarious Is my gener-
al condition that 1 feel no assurance
of a long continuance of my recent i'm
provement, and have no hope whatever
of that restoration of physical vigor
and self-locomotion, without which /
cannot perform the duties of Repre-
sentative as l could wish to do. Still,
as l have said, if the convention should,
from any consideration whatever, take
me as | am, for better or worse and l
should be elected, it would be a pleas
ure to me, if life be spared, to serve the
people of this district to the best of my
ability, though not up to the full stand-
ard of my wishes, 50 long as l can raise
my voice or WELD a pen" There are,
as the NelC York Tribune remarks, very
few Congressman who could be renom-
mated after such a letter as that.

THE BAR.TENDER's STORY.

When / knOwcd him at first there was uthn-
A sort of a general all
That was very particular Pleasin',
And what YOU might call debOnair.
I'm aware that expression is Frenchy,
And ruther high daddy, perhaps;
Which accounts that L have the acquaintance
OF several quality chaps.
But he got to increasin' his doses
And took EN- more often, he did;
And II eTOwed on him faster and faster
Till inter a hummer he slid.
i was gIieyed TO observe tins here teller
A shown hiSSelf down the grade,
And | lectured him onto II sometimes
At the risk of its sp'lin' the trade.
At last be got ~thunderin' seedy,
And he lost his respect for hiSself,
And all his high notions OF honor
Was bundled away on the she'll.
But at times he was dreadful remOrsetnl
Whenever he'd stop for 10 drink,
And he'd swear to reform hisselftrequent
And end it by takin' a drink.
What saved that young Teller? A woman!
She done il in the singlerest way.
He come into the bar-rOOm one evenin'
He hadn't been driEkin' that day.,
And sOt hiSself down 10 a table
With a terrible sorrowful lace

And calm hisSelf a gone case.
H. was thinkin' and thinkin' and thinkIn'
And cussin' hisself and his fate,
Aud ended his thinkin' as usual
Bv orderin' 4 Bourbon straight.
He was holdin' the glass in his fingers,
When into the place from the street
There came a young gal like a spirit,
Nith,a face that was powerful sweet.
VI.
And she glided right up TO the table
And took the glass gently away,
Aud she says 10 him., George, II Is over;
am oniv a woman to-day
1 rejected YOU once in my anger,
But I come 10 YOU lOwly and meek,
For I can't live without you, nv darling;

And / come, love. to share ii with yOu;
Is there shame ia the deed? ] can bear it,
For at last 10 my love 1 am true;

And ] come to lover and friend,
Leaving comfort, cOntentment and honor,
And III stay TO the terrible end.

oIs there hunger and want in the future2
will share them with You and not shrink!
And together We II JOIN ia inc llGdNul6Hs
The woes and the dangers OF drink
Then she raised up the glass nrm and steady,
But her face was as pale As the dead
GHere's TO wine and the joy of carouSals,
The songs and the laughter, p she said.

Then he riz up. his face like a tempest,
And took the glass out Of her hand,
And slung it away stern and savage
And l tell yOu his manner was grand!
And he SAWS: al have done with it, Nelly,

GEN. BRADLEY T. JOHNSON writes
to the Baltimore Gazette that Gov.
Thomas johnson, then a delegate from
Maryland, nominated George Wash
ingtOn in the Continental Congress rs
COMMANDMENTS Chief of the CONT
mental Army, and adds: when Wash
ington became President he pressed
Gov. Johnson to become Secretary of
State before he offered it to Mr.. Jeifer-
son, which great Office Johnson de-
clined, and himself forwarded the let
ter from Washington to Jefferson Of
fering him the place. This cor
respondence was sent from New York
to Frederick by express, and forwarded
from the latter place to Mr.. Jefferson
in Virginia. Afterward Washington
appointed johnson Justice of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States,
which place he also resigned after a
few years service. Ihad the originals
of some of these papers and copies of
others In my house In Frederick before
the war, but it having been occupied
for some time as the headquarters of
the Federal General-in- Chief, matters
became confused, and thesepapers mis-
laid or destroyed. l have never been
able to hear from them since"
EVEN men like ex-President Davis
help to give currency to the delusive
idea that the white people of the Mis-
sissippi valley are almost wholly de-
pendent upon the blacks, and that with
out them this great %alluvial region
couldno be cultivated. The cotton
crop of the United States is now main
ly made by white labor, and the Mis-
ississippi valley, from the Gulf to the
| Lake of the Woods, will eventually be
| the home of hundreds of millions of
white men, who will perform all the
labor and make it the most productive
and PROSPEROUS portion of the earth

SANFORD.

Mr.. S. h. Sanford, a person whose
sagacity, observation, ear and re-
spectability have commended him to
the caution and thought of the camp
followers to the turf, is a retired cotton
manufacturer of Connecticut, whose
health became impaired, and who was
ordered by his physician to follow out
of-door pursuits. Unwilling to be idle
or to disburse his fortune without re-
turn, he resolved tOtake to the turf and
to stock raising on a large and compre-
hensive scale, having had some expert
ence IN sporting life at New Orleans,
when he was buying cotton there. He
is. In some respects, the successor of
| Ten Brock on the turf-both being
Northern men who imbibed the passion
for horses III the South.
Sanford has a Buckingham in Ken

erson. n. j., which he calls "Preak-
ness"-the name also of his finest
| horse. which was beaten this year by

N Isa. STEVENS As 4 CRUSADER

From the San Francisco Chronicle, :0th.l
Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens made a
brict address before the Temperance
Legion last evening. The title of her
address" Wine and Women"-drew
Il large crowd. in the Oldcn days"
Sait Mrs. Stevens, "men were wont to
couple the words wine and women
with slur, and to say that they We're
the curse of men, but women against
wine would be the salvation of the
country. l believe that the women, if
they rise up in their might and force,
can do away with every liquor saloon
in the United States. Pointing to MIR.
Wh,ney.] They say he was defeated
for Chief of the Fire Department be-
cause he is a temperance man. would
rather be Il temperate man and suffer
defeat than to be elected Chief Ma@is-
trate of the State and sell whisky" In
conclusion, Mrs. Stevens advised the
Seuding of an open letter to Governor
Booth, with $1,000 signatures attached,
asking him to retire from the whisky
traffic. She prophesied his failure TO
reach the Presidential chair unless he
did so. Instead of commencing with
tho corner groceries, she advised
striking at the root of the evil and at
tackiny the wholesale liquor dealers.
