WITTY SAYINGS BY JOSH Bill.
f1saEF LINGS.
I hav finally cum to the konklushun
that ef l ksnt prove a thing without
50 on it, the thing has got . dreadful
weak spot sumwhere.
Q. What is the best religious kreed
to hav?
A. Charity. II man will swop off
all the religious creed he has got on
hand and invest the proceeds in char
ity, he will always be proud ov the
job.
Q. Will you please define an enthu-
siast7 8"
A. An enthusiast IL . party who
believes about four times az mutch az
he kan prove, and kan prove about
four times ~ mutch az zennyboddy else
behaves.
Almostenny phool kan prove that
the Bible ain't true; it takes q wise
man to beleave it.
1t IL . wize man who profits by his
own nsxperience-but it IL good deal
swizer one who lets the rattlesnaik bite
the other phellow.
Yung man, set down and keep still ;
yuwill hav plenty ov chances yet to
make q phool ov yureself before yu
di. seq
Take all the phools out ov this
world and thare wouldn't be any phun
nor profit living in it.
would a. soon think ov pulling tho
feathers out ov peakok's tale as to
interfere with the insolent vanity ov q
man.
Married life il little game, in
which the woman, if she il called, il
almost sure to have q strate flush.
The man who knows a thing, and
can tell it in the fewest words, IL the
shatdest kind of a man to beat in a
kross examinashun.
The things kant prove believe the
most !; believe that one apple il sour
and another il sweet, but will give
emmy highly eddicated man a span ov
matched mules who will tell me what
makes them so.
The smartest thing about emmy man
IL his coincidence; he may outargy
hiz reason or stultify hiz faith, but he
kant beat hiz Conscience.
{ The best thing kne ov il fust rate
wife, and the next best thing il . Sec
ond rate one.
There ain't nothing that man will
thrive 30 well on az abuse that Amt
merited.
When You KUN akrost man who
distrusts everybody, you hav found
one whom 1t IL safe for everybody to
disfrust.
Itiz the surprizes ov life that add
most to our plezzures one man IL sur
priced with legacy from q ritch unkls,
another that the old speckled hen haz
just cum off the nest with q chickens.
Gamblers nor infidels haven't faith
enough in their professions to teach it

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29th 1879.
Editor Erening Star:-In your paper of yester-
day is an article headed "Another Speck Of
War;" which SO far is 1T relates to myself, Is
wholly and totally untrue. There is and has
been 10 misunderstanding or unkind feeling
existing between Gen. Bragg and myself. l
have certainly never 1nterfered In the remotest
degree with his appointment OF Clerk Of the
committee Of which he has charge, except, per-
hapS, to giveeXpression to the opinion that ac
cordins TO usage 1t Is his prerogat1ve to name
his own clerk, and that 1t would be unkind to
attempt to thwarJ him with respect to it. AS
to the committee OF which have charge and
OF which Gen. Bragg is member, there Is no
shadow Of discord. The clerk selected by me
was sworn In On Saturday last, without the OBJ
lection or opposition OF single member OF the
committee, so far as l know; certainly with
the full concurrence CT more than majority OF
all the members, Gen. Bragg Of the number.
Wien the committee Will commence holding
sessions is its own business. 1t has not been
and Will not be retarded by me. No member
has Indicated to me desire for session. Had
one single member done So it would have been
called together at any time, and will noW II
any member desires it. The trouble seems to
be III, indeed, there be any at ally that am
consulting the wishes Of the committee and not
the lobby. And the trouble OF your news gath
erer Is that he was 'Wool gathering" and not
gathering facts.
Yours truly, WIN. A. j. SPARKS.

Tho South is helpless before the
butchers. Innocence ia no protection.
Good citizenship is no shield. The
liars who wilfully traduce it are be-
lieved. The boldest falsehood of its
enemies is proof as strong as Holy
Writ. The widest lie modern
Munchausen can vent against I
downs the voice of truth. Beecher
and Beiknap, Conkling and Colfax,
Halstead and Hayes, Sherman and
Schnrz, Logan and Chandler and
Garfeld-these are some Of the ready
witnesses to oilenses never commit
ted, intentions never entertained,
words never uttered-lechers some,
bribc-takers some, liars all. They
may humiliate the South. They can
not degrade 1t. The degradation is
theirs, and theirs the infamy.--I Selma

A singular case is to be tried in the
Gilmer (Ga) Superior Court next
week. About a week ago q show
man was exhibiting q trained monkey
in that county. Among other tricks,
the monkey had been taught to fire a
pistol, The Snowman no nded the an
imal pistol and told II to "shoot the
ugliest man in. the crowd" Some
mischieyous boys had put shot into
the pistol, and when the monkey had
picked out his man and fired, the
shot took effect, and slightly wounded
the ugly man, who pulled out his
knife, cnt the monkeys throat and
whipped the Snowman. The monkey
died next day. The ugly man is in
