'DaymOn and Pathos''

From the Detroit Free Press.
Yesterday morning two hard-up
looking fellows, one about fifty years
old and the other about twenty wears
younger, entered a bakery on Michi-
gan avenue and called for a lunch.
One was provided, and when they had
eaten square meal the old man said
to the Baker:
come back
II guess mott guess you'll pay me
now - replied the baker.
They hadn't any cash. and they
hadn't any spare clothes. The baker
fished up club from behind the coun.
ter and vowed that he would have
money or revenge.
''1t's similar case to that of Day.
mon and Pathos," explained the old
man. ''My friend here shall 20 after
cash to settle this claim and if he does
not return by noon you can take re-
venge ON me-
Il don't care for Daymon, nor Pay
thos, nor any other man, want cash -
shouted the baker.
''Daymon will bring the cash by
noon, or I'm your meat softly an.
SWered the vagrant.
''Daymon' went out after cash, and
''Pathos'' sat down and spit tobacco
JUICE all over the floor. The baker or.
dered him to quit.
''Didn't you ever read the beautiful
story of Daymon and Pathos g asked
the aged bilker. "Don't you remem-
Der that Pathos sat down and chawed
tobacco while Daymon was absent!''
An hour slipped away and the old
chap fell asleep and lurched off his
chair, almost upsetting the stove.
The baker rushed ut him but ':Pathos''
held up his hands and protested.
''Don't you remember that Pathos fell
asleep while waiting for Daymon' S
return. don't know as he fell off his
chair, but that wasn't a progressive
age
Noon found him still there. with no
word from ''Daymon." The old man
was firm in his belief that his friend
would return, and reaching up OH a
shelf behind him he took down a GUS
tard pie and calmly began eating into
it. The enraged baker grasped him
by the throat and in the tussle which
followed ''Pathos'' came up to the
mark so lively that the bakers heels
swept through show case, and then
the old man slid out doors, and when
the baker yelled for the police the va.
grant explained to the crowd,
"'Didn't PathOs have all he wanted
to eat while waiting for Dayman's re.
turn! Can play the part Of Pathos
OH all empty stomach!'

Barton still had the pistol. cooked in

Barton stu bad the pistol cooked in in
his hand.
Suddenly Bell turned to one side and
looked beyond, Barton down the road,
as though something drew his atten.
ton there. Barton also looked around.
In second Bell had drawn the small
pistol from his pantaloons pocket, and
as Barton was again turning his head
to keep his eye on his prisoner, a bull.
let was imbedded in his brain.
War is said to be so great a crime
that, while it is in progress, all other
crimes become amendable. Men are
killed by thousands, property is de.
stroyed without limit; wanton distruc-
ton is the order of the day; ''to the
victors belong the sp0ils;' and even
Washington said that the best general
was the one that could deceive the
best. That which ordinarily we
should shudder to hear becomes meri-
torious in the eyes of men during the
progress of war. The reader is to
judge how far the necessities Of a
great conflict will Justify deception and
violence which would otherwise merit
the severest censure.
SWELL" thought Bell, 81 connot say
that l like the business l am in, but I
suppose I have saved myself from al
ignominious death, and may now 60 on
my way to notify Hurlbut of the in
tended attack on Moscow"
The horse started off at a wild gallOp.
and Bell pursued him several hundred
yards, but was unable to overtake
him. He returned to the spot where
the corpse lay, and dragged it short
distance into the bushes. He removed
as we'll as he could the traces of the
encounter in the road, sprinkling dust
over the spots of blood.
He then rode on for while, and
turned into the fields so as to enter
Memphis by different road. He met
no person on the way. He requested
the pickets to take him to Gen.
Hurlbut, and it was not long before he
obtained an interview with the Gener-
al. He gave an account of the shoot
ing of Barton, and at his suggestion
q small detachment of cavalry was
sent down the road in the direction of
the place where it occurred, and the
next morning the newspapers con-
tanned an item stating that a rebel
scout named Barton, while lurking in
the vicinity of our lines, had been
pursued by our cavalry and shot while
attempting to escape. The body was
buried by some citizens on the spot
where it was found.
Bell related infinitely to Hurlbut his
with Chalmers and Steph-
en- D. Dee, and gave his reason for be-
lieving that a strong attack was inten-
ded on Moscow.
''The force there" said Hurlbut, sis
sufficient to repel any attack the rebels
can make. Let them come on
He had intended to remove three
regiments from Moscow to point
east, but in consequence of this infor-
nation held them at La Grange, where
they were in a position to reinforce
Moscow.
Some days after an attack was made
on Moscow, as Bell had predicted.
The battle was very severe; but it re.
suited in the total defeat of Lees
force, with loss of nearly four hum
1red men, including seven commits
stoned officers killed on the field.

The Successful Physician.

There is probably no man to whom the
community owe SO much as to the honest,
fair-spoken physician, who does his actua
duty both to himself and to his patients
Really skillful physicians are not so numerous
that their virtues need no mention, and hence
the advertisement of DR.. r. Y. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, may well claim the readers attention.
DR.. Pierce is type Of q class Of men who OBJ
tain success by careful and well-directed
effort, not attempting too much, or creating
false ideas as to ability. The only reliable
physician in these days Of complicated dis
orders and high-presure living is the ''Spec-
iialist,'" the man who understands his one
branch of the business. such in his line is
DR.. Pierce. For the benefit of his readers
he has written q "Common Sense Medical
Adviser" which is well worth reading by
those who need such a work. With strict
business honor, high professional skill, rea-
sonable fees, and large corps Of competent
assistants, DR.. Pierce will doubtless make
his name familiar as ''household words.''

tL0uiStana sugar Bowll
From information which we gained
by spending last week among the sugar
planters OF Terrebonne and st. Mary.
we are glad to state In most cases IN
those two parishes the yield Of sugar
was much larger than planters ex-
pected at the beginning OF the rolling
season, and we believe this Is pretty
generally the case all over the State.
There is no doubt in our mind now that
the sugar crop Of the State this season
will reach at least 1900 hogsheads
against little less than 1t7,O00
hogsheads last year In reality,
the condition OF planters IL twice
as good as one year ago, as the
corn crop Is unusually good.
We heard OF several cases OF remark
able yields In the parish OF st. Mary.
The most astonishing case was on the
plantation OF Mr.. Des. Como, just
below Pattersonville, where Mr.. Eva.
riste Leonard, from Terrebonne.) and
several other white rnen made O crop Of
70 acres OF q cane for the mill and q
large crop OF corn, patatoes, etc., on
shares. They expected about 30 hogs
heads OF sugar, but, to their surprise
and that Of everybody else, their crop
from twenty three acres OF cane r..
nearly four hogsheads Of sugar to the
acre.
Dr. Henry J. Sanders home place,
near the mouth OF the Teehe, we are
told, made 800 hogsheads OF sugar from
143 acres OF cane, or about two and
threc-quarters hogsheads per acre;
while on the west side he made about 60
hogsheads Of sugar from 30 or 40 acres
Of cane. DIR. Sanders has half inter-
est in the Garden City" plantation:
the crop there will be over 500 hogs
heads, so that on both places he will
have nearly 1000 hogsheads OF sugar.
FONT Pleasant, Mr.. Lyons plaf1ta-
tion, on Gibbons Point, near Brashoar
City, has perhaps the best cane crop In
the State, and It Is believed 400 acres Of
cane will yield 800 hogsheads Of sugar
Several bets to that effect have been
made. They are still rolling, as we1l as
on several other places where large
crops are made.
Mr.. Edmond Rose. from 81 acres Of
cane made III hogsheads Of sugar Capt.
Collins, on Mrs. Bedell's plantations
made 80 hogsheads from 80 acres of
made 100 hogsheads Of sugar Hawkins,
plantation, which expected only 100
hogsheads OF sugar made about 100; q.
G.. Walkers share hands made 20 hogs
heads Of sugar from 80 acres Of cane
John Pierre and John Baptiste Verdun
and others with their mill made 50 hogs
heads; J. H. Darnall, 400; JAS. Todd,
300; T. J. Foster, 220;. Samuel Randlett,
| 70, and In each case the yield was larger
than expected, owing to the unusually
| favorable season. In Iberia, equal re-
suits have been obtained. Mr.. J. j.

hogsheads, as one instance.
