There are many peculiarities that
strike the eye and impress the mind OF
the traveller who is making his first
tour in the South. The first Of these is
the prevalence of the indispensable and
immortal shotgun, double'barreled and
hRir-triggered. II seems to be luxury

Miss, where saw colored gentleman
ana son riding into town On mules worth
Stout twenty dollars each. The old
man was ahead, aud the son brought up
the rear guard. The old man had
! shotgun, esrelessly thrown over the
neck of his steed, that was probably
worth more than both mules. He gazed
around nervou5ly under his slouched hat,
and held on to his shotgun as If he ex-

tiuence enough to borrow one. The
white men have weakness for shot
guns, too. They have a reputation Of
being a very serviceable weapon in an
engagement, and they scatter like
Gatling gun.
Another very noticeable feature is the
abundance of diamonds worn by the
aristocratic people. In all their misfor.
tune and poverty the pride of your
high-toned Southern man and woman,
has prevented them from parting with
their precious stones. Why, | believe, |
saw diamonds enough in the audience at
the theater at New Orleans the other
Sunday night to build the levees of
louisiana. You can sit down to dinner
most any day at a Charleston or New
Orleans hotel and see diamonds enough
to deck princess on State occasion.

The Dead rrinatrel.

From the ST, Louis Democrat
Daniel W. Bryant was born May 9th
1888 and was, therefore, at the time ol
his death in his forty.secoud year. He
was married in St. Louis in 1860, July
29th, at the church of the Immaculate
Conception, to Miss Nellie Fitzgibbon,
daughter of our we'll known citizen, Mr..
j. d. Fitzgibbon, Rev. Father Fehan
officiating.
Bryants first visit to St. Louis oc.
Cured twenty.one years ago, when he
came as member Of the celebrated
Campbell Minstres, taking the place of
Luke West, previously deceased, as
end-man," in which position he gained
great popularity. About eighteen years
ago he, in connection with his brothers,
Jerry and Neil, organized the afterward
famous troupe known as Bryant's Min.
strels, and opened Mechanics Hall, New
York, which subsequently became Tam.
many Hall.
AS an Irish comedian Mr. Bryant had
few equals. For two seasons he met
with unbounded success in the delinea-
ton of Irish character, but was induced
to return to the burnt cork " profes-
sion. AS comedian of this school be
was too we'll known to require extended
notice. He had no superiors in this
line, and was, without doubt, one Of the
most popular minstrel men that ever
appeared before an audience.
By his death he leaves a widow and
five children in moderate circumstances.
Mr.. Bryant was liberal-minded, and
his purse was ever open to assist those
in distress and want. He died in the
Catholic faith, and was anointed by the
church on Thursday night, when il was
ascertained that the end was drawing
niph.

young man OF twenty-five, was smitten

none to caress, and 80, packing up few
necessary things, he struck out for the

his fortune. Once there he went to min

occupation the other afternoon, a few
miles from Buffalo. on the Kansas Pa.

Indians. They circled around him with
a good deal Of ostentation and kept up a
steady fusilade; but although there
were thirteen bullet holes in his hat and
clothes, he escaped without scratch to
his skin. He was armed with a sixteen,

BALKY HoRsEs.-The Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, puts forth a
set of rules for the treatment Of balky horses
/. Pat the horse upon the neck examine
the harness carefully, first one side then the
other, speaking encouraging while doing so ;
then Jump into the wagon and give the word
90; generally he will obey.
O. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him 60 round in a
circle till he is giddy. If the first dance of
this sort doesn't cure him the second will.
3. To cure balk horse, simply place your
hand over the horses nose and shut off his
wind until he wants to 60.
f. The brain of horse seems to entertain
but one idea at time; therefore, continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve.
If you can by any means give him new sub
ect to think of, you will generally have no
trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is
to take couple Of turns of stout twine around
the foreleg, just below the knee, tight enough
for the horse to feel, and tie in bow knot.
At the first check he will generally 90 dancing
of, and after going short distance you can
get out and remove the string, to prevent
injury to the tendon in your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie it by cord to the saddle
girth.
6. Tie string around the horses ear close
to his head.
