At the last meeting of the Lime kiln
Club, says the Detroit Free Press, the
janitor announced the presence in the
ante-room of Improved Slayton Esq, of
Columbus, Ohio, who had arrived in
the city unexpectedly, and who desired
to make a few remarks for the benefit
of the club He was brought in, for
mally introduced, and turned out to be
an orator with strong affection for
calico shirt-collars and green neckties.

his arms and arched his back, de fol-

The speech produced very solemn

then no remarks were INDUCED in, ex-

Bascom, set EN- up"
Bascum he'd bin takin our money for
some days, and he'd bin to Louisville
for likker. He set out the bottle with
a sardonic grin that BODIED us no good.
We each poured out the likker, howev-
er, and placed the glasses to our re-
spective lips. Immejitly every man
spitted the ikwid out upon the floor.
| turned sick, for | had uncawshushly

his answer, ez he glared feercely at me.
:. Like it! Like it, Why, it's water?"
Bless your SOLE" said Bascom,
why don't you sag it's whisky?
The minnit you sag it's whisky it IS
whisky. You say the paper you want
to pay me in is dollar, just bccoz you
sag it's a dollar; and why in bloody
thunder can't you make whisky out Nv
water by jist sayin it's whisky? Gen

Nv paper with yoor stamp onto it is a

fooid to be good likker, and vice versy.
Parson, this is all yoo will ever git with

And he leened back agin his bottles
with defiant air, and we sank back ter
rifed.
Where is the end to be? I don't
know. Oh, that Butler wood carry

Ef Bascom repudiates the fat money,

a CLUB" but it was the death of his
brother Abel.

a ''club," but it was the death of his
brother Abel.
While there were so many things that
the boy Adam missed think not that
his solitary life was without it's compen-
sation. There was no other boy to steal
his marbles, or hide his top. or jeer at
him because he had to wear his big bro
theirs cast-off clothes, or holler across
the street that he had "a letter in the
postoffice," or fix bent pin for him to
sit down on, or make faces at his sister,
or spell him down, or steal his dinner,
or tell on him when he had been in mis-
chief, or beat him out of his sweetheart.
Adam escaped these and thousand
other annoyances that boys subject each
other to. He hadn't any brothers and
sisters to tease and worry him, and with
whom he was compelled to divide his
playthings and nice things to eat that
might come that way He could leave
piece of sweet-cake lying around any
where, knowing that none of the rest Of
the children would touch it; and at
night, on retiring, he could stick his
gum" on to the headboard, confident
that it would rest undisturbed until
morning
Whatever trouble and annoyances his
matrimonial life may have brought him,
we find kind Of satisfaction in reflect
ing that Adam boyhood was exception
ally free from care, and on that account
we are bound to conclude that his life
was not an entire failure,

Alexander Stephens as Combatant.
New York Times.

Those who have seen Alexander II.
Stephens, and marveled at the atomy he
is, would not be likely to think of him
as a combatant, since he appears, poor
man, to need much more than the little
strength he has to fight against death,
ever threatening him. Nevertheless,
he is, and always has been testy and
pugnacious when his motives have been
impugned or his honor questioned, and
it is no fault of his that he has not re-
peatedly taken part in duels. He has
challenged Herschel Y. johnson, Ben
H. Hill, politicians, but they declined
to accept his challenge, though avow-
edly adherents to the code, thinking it
preposterous, no doubt, to 60 out with
the little invalid. One might as well
shoot at the edge of razor as at the
attenuated figure of the distinguished
Georgian. During a heated campaign
in his native State, QS4S,) he had an al
tercation with Judge Cone, prominent
Southern politician, and nearly lost his
life. The Judge, meeting him at ho-
tel in Atlanta, called him traitor, and
Stephens, who was unarmed struck his
insulter across the face with small
cane. Cone, in a rage, drew dirk
knife, and attempted to stab him to the
heart. Although large and muscular,
his puny opponent prevented the dead
ly thrust, but received IS or 20 wounds
on different parts of his body. Finally,
he threw the plucky little fellow down,
and forcing his head back to the floor
with his left hand, as though he had
been child, he held the knife before
his eyes, crying, apologize, or I'll cut
throat" The laconic reply
was, Never. Cut away" The blade
was descending, when Stephens caught
and arrested it, nearly severing his
hand in the effort. Both men, in the
struggle, got to their feet again, and
were continuing the one-sided combat,
when common friends interfered and
separated them. Stephens wounds,
fortunately, were dressed at once. Had
there been any delay, he would have
bled to death from the cutting of an in
tercostal artery. This is a good exam
pie of his indomitable courage. His
suffering, wasted shrunken form con-
tains big soul. Stephens refused to
appear against the Judge on his trial,
and their amicable relations were ulti-
mately restored, the Judge having, aft
er the Southern fashion, bitterly regret
ted the painful occurrence.
