A long time ago when John Barkley
was not near as large as he is nov, he
won all the easter eggs the Leesburg
boys could start. 1t was customary in
those day for the boys to meet on easter
morning and fight eggs" The boy
whose egg whipped or broke the she'll of
the others, according to the rule and reg
slatious, was entitled to both. Just
before Easter John went to a wheelwright
aud had a piecs Of wood turned in the
exact shape Of an egg, he colored it as
was usual, aud no one without a very
careful examination could have detected
the trick. Early in the morning John
wa, ready for the sport, and before night
he had won 50 many eggs that he scarcel!y
knew what to do with them. The boys
we're all astonished at his ~tuccess but
failed to discover that he had a wooden
egg"

Johnson City, April 18th, 1875.
Our BisuntynIe Letter.

Mr.. Editor :-Easter has come an a
brought the cold weather supposed by
some persons to universally attend. 1t
has been so often said of late that 'all
the fruit is now killed." when each time
it has been shown to be a mistake, that
even now there is hope Of q half crop of
peaches and more Of apples.
Snow has been falling at intervals
during the da".
Corn, hay and fodder are perhaps
scarcer in Sullivan than ever before kuo1n
there is no danger of actual starvation but
it is the next thing to it. 1t is not known
whether the Federal or State Cavern
mcut is responsible for this condition OF
affairs.
Political discussions are not SO frequent
now as tormerly. The farmers are bus y
trying to avoid another such crisis as is
now upon us, not SO much by grumbliDg
and whining about hard times, as by pre-
pairing to plant corn, sowing clover, &c.
The two great political parties are not
fighting each other, b ut are making that
quiet hard fight inside their wi orgaui-
cations to get rid Of a multiplicity o! can
didates for the same Office, and this is the
fight in which ultimate victory is achieved,
and it is hoped by every true aud patriotic
Republican that there is enough of
love Tor the principles of Re.
publicanism to put a good man to
the trout for each Office aud then heartily
support bin.
There are quite a number Of aspirants
who are Republicans for the cfice Of
Circuit Judge and Congress, thi, is their
right, as every man has the right under
our Government to aspire to fill any po>
s%ition, hence the necessity Of political
conventions.
The great trouble with all parties is
that there are men in them who try to
get into Office by iutrigues, and that there
are Others who when fairly beaten become
soured, and if they act, it is in such a
luke warm manner that they are not much
better than open enemies.
There is a want Of that splendid fealty
to principles among modern politicians,
which once distinguished the Wings Of
Virginia, they sacrificed everything for
party, though forever in a hopeless mi
noritv, there was no variableness or
shadow of turning, until Democracy
plunged them into the gulf Of rebellion
and civil war.
We have men among US yet who are
animated by higher motives, than a de-
sire to occupy a place and live at ease,
Some of them are now candidates,
and they have an opportunity of showing
themselves worthy of tho party to which
they belong by gracefully submitting to
W atever is thought best for the success
of the party, and if defeated in a fair
convention, of going to work, for whoever
may be the candidate, in earnest. They
are certainly brave enough to meet tn.
stein realities of life without being backed
by an Office. j.. +.
