EDITOR Van BuRES Press In the last is
sue of the Argus, there appeared an article,
headed, ''Jurdan 4. Cfasens,' in which the
editor speaks of bargains, etc, that they
ought to beat the man who was a party to
them, ETC.. thereby infer ring that some of the
other candidates, Brown. he means. had made
some bargain, etc, in all of which he wilfully
misrepresents what he knows all about.
While he seems to be posted in bargains. he
might tell us something of a pecuniary bar
gain in the United States Senatorial election
of 1873; might tell something about a draft
givea, which was protested after the election.
Hope he ,ciH enlighten us. Now, as to Col. J.
L. Cravens. We all know he is gentleman,
and we venture the assertion that the writer
of this and Hon. B. J. Brown are as good
friends TO Cravens as G. Wilcox editor of the
Argus. To be plain. said editor shows a lit
tie petty spite. in this matter. that does him
no credit. He knows the people of Crawford
county prefer Brown to any many from any
other county. especially as we all consider
him the peer of any of them X.

Life is a great picture in which we may
see new beauties at every new view we take
of it, and receive new impressions each
time we examine it. Man is a curious being
and one of his most marked and strongest
characteristics is his curiosity 1t enters into
his mind, AS an immovable principle, and at
| times distracts and disarranges his thoughts
We said, above, that man was curious, and we
in tend to prove it by an Illustration. On the
bank of Lees Creek a few yards from the
line of the railroad is one of the most curl.
Gus human habitations that has ever fallen
within the range OF our limited observation
We have heard of hermits, who. withdrawing
| themselves from the society of human beings
have made their dwelling places in subterra-
mean caverns, at the same time making this
unnatural isolation still more terriiically un-
bearablc by the punishment of the body in a
rigorerous and exhausting abstinence. All
this however, was from mistaken idea OF
the requirements of religion. The case be-
fore us, however, is hermitage from choice,
perhaps necessity, rather than from any mo-
tive or inclination of religion. Near the asst
bank ofthe creek, may be seen hollow stump
of large dimensions, covered with boards,
which operate as roof. Now, above, we
said man was a being of curiosity. and the
dominance of this impelling principle, in our
self. caused us to turn our steps toward this
house not made with hands" We pceped
into this unique and unconstructed dormitory'
parlor, kitchen, and dining -room to find bed
clothes. cooking utensils and food in one
grand and peculiar conglomeration of mysti-
cal and inextricable confusion. We did not
see the proprietor and, therefore, were de-
pryed of the pleasure of an " interview"
We should have been delighted TO learn the
exact position of body the inhabitant was
compelled to take. when wooing the embraces
of the drowsy god, within the limits of
this circular bed room. 1t was the most Gu
rious house we ever saw, and made us posi-
lively certain of the fact that man is a Curl
rious animal.
