S His head was the shape and
size Of Bullitt county watermelon, and
he was SO black that charcoal would
make a light mark on him. The goat
was asleep, leaning against the side of
the house. The darkey was smoking a
decayed cigar. He espied the goat,
looked at the Lit end of the cigar, grim
ned, then ut the tail end of the goat,
"grinned louder" looked all around to
see that nobody was looking, and touched
the lit end Of that cigar to the tail end
of that goat. The goat turned a hand
spring, and the negro opened his big
mouth to laugh, but the goat butted
him so quickly between the chin and
his breeches pocket that his jaws came
together, making q noise louder than
the report of gun. The negro's hat,
boots, and cigar lay IN pile, ten feet
off, while his body was curled up like a
horseshoe in the mouth of a sewer
opening. When he "came to" he looked
round at each one in the crowd, and
dispersed the crowd by saying: "Will
some oh you gemmen' shoot me with a
pistol? A nigga dat's as big a fool a
Lis don't deserve to be Ebin."

No.. ma. I wasn't in that crowd the

That's right, my boy. Keep out of
bad company, and you'll never dc
wrong. Let your conscience be your
guide in all things" and the fond moth
er patted her son approviugly on the
head, and went about her duties with
u light heart.
Left TO himself, the noble boy, thus
soliloquized:
"You don't catch me foolin' around
old Gammon's. Ny conscience can
guide me to lots of better orchards
than his, where there amt no dog,

TRUTH OF HISTORY.
A LIBEL ON PRESIDENT DAVIS AND IT'S
AUTHOR.

It has been published in many north
ern papers-and some of them of deci-
ded character and inauence-and has
lately been vehemently repeated by ex-
Postmaster-Ge Creswell, that ex-
President Davis, while on his way 10
Montgomery in 1861 to be inaugurated
President Of the Southern Confedera-
CIV, used the following language in a
speech delivered at Stevenson, Ala
hama: 1--WE will carry the war where it
is easy to advance-where food for
the sword and torch await our armies
in the der4sely populated cities" &c.
The author of this false charge is
discovered to be one Rosewater, q
northern man, who was telegraph oper-
ator at Stevenson at the time Mr..
Davis made the speech there, and was
looked upon by the citizens Of Steven
son at that time with suspicicu-sup-
posed to be a spy, who desired BY such
, report to ere the northern heart.

e. Polished manners have often
made scoundrels successful, while the
best Of men, by their hardness and cool
ness have done themselves incalculable
injury-she shell being so rough that
the world could not believe there was a
precious kernal within it. Had Raleigh
never flung down his cloak in the mud

career in life would have scarcely been
worth recording. Scores Of men have
been successful in life by pleasing man
ners alone.

are iaatly contradicted BY quite . num-
Der of the best citizens Of Stevenson,
who were present and distinctly remem-
Der the character Of that speech.
This grave misrepresentation Of Mr..
DAVIS remarks at Stevenson has found
its way into so-ealled history, and been
copied into Greeley's sAmerican Con-
flict," Draper's History Of the Ameri-
can Civil War" '.Lossing's Pictorial
History Of the Civil War;" and into
other Northern publications Of lesser

however, finds lie origin in this Rose

WONDERS OF THE SRA.-A correspou.
dent of the Graphic. writing from Shank
lin, Isle of Wight, says: After several
days energetic sightseeing in very hot
weather, we packed our valises and stole
away to the Isle of Wight, by way of
Brighton. where We stopped over three
hours to see the aquarium. You de-
scend series of elegant terraces and
find yourself apparently at the bottom
of the sea. Cool, arched, grotto-Ike
halls extend in every direction, ending
in ferneries bright with falling water,
while along the sides of the long ar
cades, only crystal wall separates you
from the watery home of fishes, cells,
and all the innumerable fnny and fun
ny inhabitants of the deep.
You look up through the green water
as if you were q fish yourself, and know
for the first time how it feels to he at
the bottom of the sea. Great, solemn
aldermanic-looking cod-whiting swim
up and stare into your very eyes; enor-
nous conger eels writhe playfully about
your head; 'idiotic looking dog Ash lie
piled on one another, and blink placid
ly into your face like 50 many sheep,
while the skates and the stingrays are
fiattened out in painting flacidity upon
the gravel at the bottom. Little silver
herring and golden lined young salmon
drift about like clouds Lit by the moon,
and on all sides, against the rocks that
vary the surface of the tanks, wave the
exquisite fringes of the sea-anemones.
Here above all, is the supreme beauty
of the water-world.
Every variety of fringe and flower
cut is mimicked here in hues that fair
ly rival the roses of the garden. Pur-
est white, soft, creamy yellow, rich sal
mon color, every shade of tender rose
and glowing red and royal purple and
vivid green spring from these rocks q
living flower. with petals as delicate as
they are deadly. For these beautiful
fringes and ethereal looking bubbles of
color are so many murderous arms out
stretched for food. AS We watch them
swaying gently in the current, poor
little transparent shrimp comes pad
ding swiftly by. He touches rose
colored petal, it flashes round him, he
is sucked into the gorgeous head of the
flower, and it closes contentcdly over his
vanishing form. They know their dan
ger generally, thesepoor little creatures,
and did they touch ever so lightly the
tip of a flowing fringe, would spring
away from it with an electrical recoil
1t is very interesting thing to spend a
few hours at the bottom of the sea tc
see the eight armed pieurre hanging
from the rocks, or the green turtle
sleeping peacefully just below the sur.
face of the water; to watch the hermit
crabs scuttling busily about, each in hi:
stolen shell; and to study the manners
of the tip-toeing cray-fsh and the un'
boiled lobster. There are curious fresl
water fish here, too, in large globes
Among others the Mexican azotis. most
melancholy of fish, draped in inky hues
black as hearse and feathers, with
plumy tufts waving all about their dis
consolate heads. Then there are tho
telescope fsh from China, swollen ant
distorted golden carp, with eyes so Cog
gled that they really look like spy
glasses.

Rough on me IaiIers.

The jailers are catching It on all hands.
A bill is already pe"ding in the House
which proposes 30 cut down the cost of
boarding prisoners from 90 cents TO 20
cents per day, and now Senator Quarles
has introduced a bill providing that when
ever it may be deemed expedient, County
Courts may declare the county Jail a work
house, and may appoint an overseer, and
regulate and control such work-h6use in
all respects, as provided in sections $40 TO
54lT, inclusive, OF the Code.
Whenever such action may be taken by
the County Court Of any county, the ofica
of jailer is thereby vacated. The authori-
ties appointed By the County Court are TO
have full charge and control Of all the in
mates Of the jail aud the Comptroller must
issue his warrants monthly, payable TO the
County Trustee instead Of the jailer, as
formerly, for the board Of such prisoners IS
may be in confinement charged with State
~OfenseS.
