OLD JOHN RADDLE
by COL. j. W. De FOREST.

gray or butternut homespun. Such
was my hero in the period Of his
grandeur.
His grandeur consisted in this,
that, having been born,a "lowdown"
white of South Carolina, he had
shown q certain degree of iutelli.
gence, industry, and enterprise; it,tti
gained money both in decent and
evil fashions, had developed 4 CHAR
acter which if not nice was at least
70 vigorous, and had become, if not IA
gentleman, at least something far
better than vagrant or pauper
lie had made his fortune of ten or
fifteen thousand dollars by nocturnal
and illegal dickering with pilfcIing
negroes; then by more open but
scarcely more praiseworthy dealings
across the whisky stained counter of
a cross. roads grocery; but he had
made it, he lad kept it, he had it.
Now, even in the patrician South
Carolina of the oIden time money
was reputable; if it was not good
blood it was taeittllyy regarded It's the
very next noblest species of circul,t-
ton; and thus John Raddle was con.
sidered not so low as he had been.
In short. he had lifted his family. rs
far toward social rcspectabiiitySas
the most gifted and fortunate Crack
er stock usually could climb in one
generation.
One step in his gradual rise had
been the conversion of his grocery
into tavern, with accommodations
for man and beast. For man there
were two bedrooms, small, carpetless,
rudely furnished, and as breezy as
hencoops; Il dining.roOm with mar.
row pine table, which pvoftcred fried
bacon and eggs. fried chicken, fried
corn bread, and sweet potatoes: a
bar room flowing with white, crude
fiery whisky, suitable for boozins
farmers and crackers; private clos
ct containing u Barrel of old, mild
amber whisky for gentry. For
beasts there wasa ramshack1c barn
showing through countless rents
great store of cOrnhusk fodder, and
imperfectly sheltering from the rain
some scant piles ofmaizc nubbins.
The tavern consisted of a low, un
painted, and even Embarked log
shanty, the original grocery; and Of
a.broad.fronted, shallow, two story
yellow .clapboard wing, the modern
addition. Paddles in wet weather
powdery dust in dry weather, and
heaps Of uncleanness always, made
the approach unpleasant. There was
no sign; no such ostentation was
necessary; the place was widely no
torious as Raddtes. Twice a weeL
the mp mail, and twice week the
down mail, between Columbia an6
Greenville, stopped here to change
horses, occasionally bringing passen
gers for dinner, ana at long, long
intervals, one for the night.

be regarded in the light of a compul-

without the expense to the people
attendant upon criminal prosecu-

from these leeches all the spoils with
which they have enriched them

stealing are certainly gone and we

Hon. s. j. IiI0en:
DEAR S1R-0n this day when you
ought to have been President of the
United States, I seize the opportuni,
ty to bear my testimony to the calm
and dignifed manner in which you
have passed this great trial. 1t is
many years since I ceased to be a
party man. Hence I have endeavor-
ed to judge Of public affairs and men
rather by their measures than by the
name they take. 1t is source of
qualification to me to think I made
the right choice in the late election.
| could never have been reconciled to
the elevation, by the smallest aid Of
mine, of person, however respecta
BILE in private life, who must forever
carry upon his brow the stamp Of
fraud. No subsequent action, how
ever meritorious, can wash away the
letters of that record. Very res.
pectfully yours,

Of Packard's obstinacy in struggling

sides to this matter. tits, of course,

Tight, Tighter, Tightest.

The "eel-skin" dress is the great
rage both in London and Paris. In
the widest days of the ie-back or
pin-back mania, there never was such
a tightness in the matter Of skirt as
now prevails. Whatever the pauci-
ty ofthe folds in the pin. back in it's
frontier part, in tho enormous exub-
erance Of the panier or hustle the
balance was struck. But now, not
only is the hustle thing Of horror
but even the necessary undercloth-
ing is considered de trop. To
lengthen the waist far beyond it's
natural proportions a stiff webbing
of elastic is fastened to the stays to
the depth of halfa foot, and to this,
at first, narrow skirts were buttoned.
But even this is now abandoned for
another scheme to acquire slender
ness. Mrs. Swisshelm' s much ridi-
culed chemiloon is in demand, and
garments made in this way are sold
at the furnishing shops, and patterns
of it pass eagerly from hand to band
among lady friends. Some ladies
have had regular stage tights made
in thick webbing, and over these they
wear nothing but the outer dress, I'm.

are the limbs confined by the bind
ing dress, but the wearer must con-
stantly concern herself about the
condition of the bodies, that portion
being in incessant danger of turning
itself up behind, wrong side out,
like an umbrella in windstorm.
The desired effect Of youthful slen-
derness is generally obtained by the

LAST night, just after Blinkus
and his wife were snugly slowed
away in bed, Mrs. Blinkus thought
that she heard the front door slam.
''Hubbie, dear, do you hear that

''No, dearie, ! locked it just before

ever heard Of 8 burglar above A

eff you don't get up and lock that
door I'll rush ont and scream for the
Police. I'll rouse the neighborhood
if it should be the last act Of my
life"
Blinkus, somewhat alarmed at the
threat, rose up and began to tumble
around for match.
"The matches are at the end of the
washstand."
Blinkus passed at the place desig
mated and broke soap dish.

|0NLY NY LOVE FOR YOU!

I stood last night Dy the old church
door,
The church were we were wed,
The ivy had climbed the crumbling
stones,
And the village priest was dead.
The tender bush our hands had nurs'd
Was dEcked with fiow'rets new;
And change had robb'd my heart, to
leave
Only my love tor you.
So I never have cared for the sorrow
we've shared,
Nor the sorrows which yet are 20 be
For Maggie, | knew that / loved you.
And Maggie that you loved me.
TIL, Winters night is just as long
AS summers brightest day;
And while each pleasure hnrries on,
Grief fingers by the way.
So every year l'ye plough'd my life
And planted joys anew,
And watch them fade away, and leave
Only my love for you.
So I never have cared for the sorrow
we've shared,
Nor the SORROWS which vet are to be
For Maggie, knew that I loved you
|. And Maggie, that yon loved me.
