Every reader of the Burlington
Haickeye for the past year has recog-
pized In It's local columns the work
Of genius. His name Is Burdette.
A correspondent Of the Chicago Eve
ming Journal has recently been wri-
ting up the funny men Of the press,
including Mark Twain, Bailey, Max
AdeIer, and others. or Burdette, he
says:
The Burlington Hdsckeye has . fell
low Of infinite zest on Its columns.
His name lie r. J. Burdette. During
the last three years Bob has origina-
ted some Of the best local and domes-
tic stories Of the day. His latest, Mr..
Middlerib's dog, IL fully equal to
anything Bailey ever wrote in his
most brilliant moments. Two or
three years ago, Burdette, who had
been earning a precarious livelihood
on the Peoria papers, determined to
get married. He vented, vidi-ed,
vici-ed the girl, but the old man
vetoed Bob. So one night he stole
the girl away from prayer-meeting
and married her. Now 1t has always
been customary in this country, on
like occasions for the irate old man
to Immediately 20 cunning for the
base deceiver. But Burdette revers-
ed the order OF settlement. Taking
his new-made wife on his arm, he
swung along to the post-office where
he found his old army captain, Sam
Lowe, making up the night mails.
From Sam, Bob borrowed a double
barreled shotgun, and loading both
barrels with buck-shot, started 70 the
home of his wife's father. The old
man WAS taking his evening nap be-
fore the fire, and didn't wake up till
Bob and his wife stood before him.
/" Now look here, old man." said
Bob, "me and Sophronia have gone
and got married, and I've come
around to see what you're going to
do about it," at the same time bring.
ing the shotgun conspicuously to the
trout. The old man drew his ba.
mana handkerchief, sounded Rhod-
erick Dhu blast and-wilted. Bob
says he is the most Obedient father
in-law he ever had.

4 Iluma. skull II SOLID Rock

a Human Skull II Solid Rock
A very strange discovery, interes-
ting to geOiogists, h reported by the
Osage Mission, tKansas) Journal. A
human skull was recently found
near that place, Embedded in solid
rock which was qroken open by blast
ing. Mr.. Wieriy, Usage Mission,
compared IL with q modern skull
which he had in his Office, and found
that though 1t resembled the latter
In general shape, 1t was an inch and
a quarter larger in greatest diameter,
and much better developed In some
other particulars. He says OF the
relic: ut is that Of the Uranium Of
the human species, OF large size, i'm
bedded In conglomerate rock Of the
tertiary class, and found several feet
below the surface. Parts Of the from
tai, parietal, and occipital bones were
carried away by the explosion. The
piece ofrock holding the remains
weighs some forty or fifty pounds,
with many impressions of marine
shells, and though It runs q vein OF
quartz, or within the Uranium Of
organic matter, and by
the aid Of a microscope, presents q
appearance" Neither
Lyell nor Hugh Miller, It is stated,
moi. and Of, the subterranean explor-
ery, report anything 80 remarkable
as this discovery at Qsage Mission.
The Neanderthal bones were found
in loan only two feet below the sur
face. whereas this Kansas skull was
discovered In solid rock.

any one not in full accord with them
to be on the street. One poor old
negro by the name Of Ambrose
Brown was ordered of the street BY
Capt. Cowan, q former rebel battery
commander, and being tardy In
going, Cowan deliberately shot him.
Many prisoners were taken and kept
in the Court House, and taken ont In
the morning. With winks and'nods
and laughter and jest, II was reported
that three Of the most obnoxious had
made their escape which means that
they have simply been murdered
while prisoners.
This unqnestionably is the truth
Of the massacre, and the people Of
the nation should recognize all its
Tire worst Of IL is that
the persons who have been guilty Of
this wholesale murder fully justify
upon the statement Of
facts that we have given, and we are
bound to add that, they are animated
by the conviction that there has been
4 political revolution In the North,
and their time has come.

There IL nothing that seems to
revive the spirits Of the late rebels
like a Democratic victory. A Con-
feGerate reunion was recently held
Mt Augusta, Ga, and that distin-
guished ex-rebel, General Hampton,
made a speech in which he said
"the clouds were now lifting from
over them, and that the Democrats
had not gained success Alone" 1t
does look nightly as though the ex-
Confederates and the Democrats were
joint sharers In the success. Hda0k-

/" Barring Out the Master"

At mention of this / doubt not
but many amusing incidents will re-
cur to older readers. It Is not
strange that such custom should
have existed, nor Is 1t more strange
that II has now almost wholly disap-
peared. 1t belongs to the past.
+" Just twenty years ago." on Christ
mas m orning, the boys were sure to
gather at day dawn to close the door,
and nail the windows, prior to the
coming OF the master. Indeed they
often would "hoId the fort" the
most of the night II the teacher did
not anticipate them by lodging In
the school house during the night.
If the boys were on the offensive the
scene can be better imagined than
described. If the teacher was long
headed he would a board over the
chimney to smoke them out, or
sprinkle powder down the chimney
to brighten them. Usually the sym
pathy of the neighborbood was with
the boys, and the only terms for the
teacher were to stay out all day, be
ducked in the nearest creek, or treat.
But this, with quill pens, boarding
round, spelling schools. hard fog
ging and sundry other amusements
have lost place in the live school OF
IA. The teacher lifts his hat in ST.
lence, but sheds not a tear at their
grave - Oskdioosa Standard.
