Not That Kind Of IA Man.
IRON the PhlIadelphia Bulletln.


Rev. DR.. p. the other day found
pack OF playing cards In the possess
sion of his eldest boy, and after giving
the lad thrashing for owning such
engines of Satan. the Doctor placed
the cards in his own pocket, intending
to destroy them at the first opportuni.
ty. But he forgot about them; and
subsequently, while in the cars on the
way to the city, he pulled out his
handkerchief, and the cards came out
with il and fell upon the floor. The
Doctor gathered them up with very
red face, and while he was arranging
them in his hand, he saw n rough
looking man in the seat opposite to
him wink at him. He turned his head
away, but upon looking around mo-
ment later, the man winked Mt him
again. Then he winked several times,
and finally he came over, and sitting
down by the side Of the Doctor, he
said:
81 say, pardner, what's your little
gamem
al don't understand you, sir" replied
the Doctor.
"Oh, you needn't mind me,n said
the mau. "pm going little at that
thing myself Now, how do you work
it?n
"What do you mean? How do |
work what ?" 49,,
"Oh, you know well enough. What
do YOU skin 'em on ~
ISkin them! Skin whoP Really,
sir, your remarks are incomprehensi-
BILE to mt"
"Now, see here, understand the
whole thing. You're hunting up some
body to play seven-np with, and you
intend to beat 'em out of their money
Now don't you :"
"You don't know who you are talk
ing tor r,r
1Now, I'll tell you what III do.
There's no man on this earth that KIN
tnrn lacks faster'n kin; and less you
and me start up game on some OF
these fellers, and pll run three or four
lacks up my sleeve, with couple OF
aces may be, and when we get to Town
we,ll divide the profits and 60 down
and get roaring drunk at the tavern
| Is 1t a bargain? :" ,,,,,,n,od
"You are scoundrel, sir!' exclaimed
the Doctor. 'Let me Change my seat
If you please" t., .,,h
me and try few games
"Certainly not, sir" .,,,
"Won't lend me them jacks 10 pun

rbe skunk replied. .sYou are mistaken.

The skunk replied. "You are mistaken, l
am wood-chuck, and I intend to remain
where am.' The wood-chuck said s'Well,
you don't look like a wood-chuck, don't do
like a wood-chuck, and I am sure, don't
smell like wood-chuck." He said it ap-
piled very well to Hayes who don't look
like a reformer, don't act like one, and
with his surroundings Of Babcock, Bel
KNAPP, ETC., certainly has not the smell OF
one. All Rockbridge is ablaze and will
give good account of herself in NoVem-
ber.
The citizens Of Lexington had the plea
sure Of witnessing to-day grand Radical
rally. The principal speaker was one
Woodfn, from Rockingham. The main
point in his speech was his opposition to
the clause in the amendments to the Con
stitution to be voted on in the coming
election, prohibiting any one who has been
convicted of petty. larceny from voting:
The next speaker was a negro, native OF
! Rockbridge, and in comparison to his col
league speech, was very credltable and de-
cent. Lexington can beat Staunton on
one thing, she has a good negro speaker.
Can't you make one out of Dyer Wayt or
Taylor jefferson ?
Lexington, with all the honors that have
been heaped upon her in the way of great
men, still is not happy. She wants another
| Governor, and this time the whole State
| will second, with the greatest enthusiasm
| in the nomination Of Gen. Curtis Lee, for
our next Governor. He is the very counter
part of his noble Father and would be an
honor to the State.
Let us have Governor once more who
don't seek the office.
We leave here tomorrow morning FOL
Fincastle, aud if you can stand this one
will send you another valuable communica
ton from the Southwest.

4 We had not been ten minutes in Licking
ton before we were invited by Col. Chas.
Davidson, the courteous president of the
Lexington Tilden and Hendricks club, to
attend q meeting of the club at the hall of
the Franklin society, and / wish [ was re-
porter enough to give you these speeches
as we heard them. (The celebrated conden-
ser was along, but after his Toronto failure,
was afraid to try it again.) The meeting
was full and an enthusiastic one [ wish
rot I'M, ,JoI,, r
hope after the 10th of October we will be
able to do so. Everybody seemed jealous
and had something to say, and they knew
how to say it well. My travelling compan-
ion, Maj. W. A. McCue, was called on to
address the club, and he was either inspir-
ed by the classic walls Of the old Franklin
Hall. or imbibed the enthusiasm of those
around, for he outdid himself and made
telling speech, and offered to Ensure the
election Of Tilden and Hendricks. He
claimed that old Augusta would be the
banner county in the fight, and challenged
to give as large majority (proportionate-
ly) as old Augusta, for Tilden, Hendricks
and Reform. Maj. Dornan courteously
informed him that Rockbridge had already
thrown down the gauntlet to the whole
Valley. Maj. McC. then replied in the
name of old Augusta, II take it up" and [
trust YOU will see that his boast is no idle
one. Every man to his post or we will
lose the prize Among the speakers was
