Those Good Old Times.

How cozy comfortable it seemed in the days
agone, to sit before the blazing log fire and listen
to the cracking of the hemlock boughs as they
crisped up in the fervent heat and went out
in smoke and ashes leaving the cheer of their
presence dancing in and out among the flicker
ing shadows. The huge mug Of cider and the
heaping pan of mellow apples went TO make
the cheer and goodwill complete. Reminis-
cences like this carry me away toward the ris-
ing sun, where the fields seemed like
cramped-up patches of ground, and
he stones lay scattered thickly
over the hills and sUrewn recklessly among the
sand of the valleys On the bleak hillsides
grew monstrous clumps Of chestnut trees,
while out in the patches of wood that remained
standing where the forest was cut away the tri-
angular nut of the beech went ratGling and
skurrying down amid the crisp leaves of the
late autumn. The magnificent sweep of the
broad prairies has taken the place of the tiny
folds and patches of wood in nay memory, but
still turn with feelings of kindly remem brance
to the old home upon the hillside which was
once my abiding place. ORLENA

parents of two young men, and, as my 10 John

accordingly. The wind had been blowing
hard all day, and at O'Clock the sun sank in a
bank of dark, threatening looking clouds that
cleaned luridly, and the wind rose higher,
and came clustering around the outbuildings
now and then, bendins the large gray willows
nearly to the ground; and Of course we thought
our fun was ended. But we kept some one at
the door, to hear the first faint lulI, and, at
half past 6 1--WE don't wait till 10 O'clock before

There was a jolly load of us, and we enjoyed
the ride hugely, with the exception of fright
or two, as the horses would get almost unman-
ageable at an open ditch by the roadside, Or a
white creature roaming the streets. Our four
minute pair took us there in fine style, and, as
the driver gave q last flourish and we came
around at the gate we had splen-

musicians did play the @Monnie Musk" out Of
time, and when they called, Swing once and a

half way round. We had a jolly time, and IS
magnificent supper, such a one as is seldom
seen at a city gathering, and started for home
as the clock struck 2. The wind was still
blowing hard, but no rain, and we reached
home ali right, pleased that we had not given

Killing a Thousand Rats.

A day Or two since grand rat
killing carnival came off at one OF
the slaughter houses on the Napa
road, between two men, two dogs and
a regiment Of long-tailed "varmints, D
in which the former came out vic
torious and succeeded in Staying, by
actual count, LOCO rats in the space of
two hours. The rats were under the
floor Of log corral, and the men got at
them by lifting one board at a time and
hitting what they could with clubs, while
the dogs killed the rest. After the bat
tie was over the rats were thrown out in
pile on the road, which made one of
the most novel sights ever seen by the
passers. They we're finally buried in a

A Blockade That Should Be Raised.

The egress from the system of waste ma
terial through the natural channels should be
rendered free, without loss of time, when a
blockade is produced by an attack of constipa-
ton, a disorder which, if it becomes chronic,
is productive of serious bodily mischief. Jaun-
usual concomitants of the malady mentioned,
all indicate that the bodily functions are ma
terially interfered with. Hostetters Bitters is
particularly efficacious in cases of this sort,
and renders the habit of body perfectly regu-
lar. 1t is medicine greatly to be preferred to
drastic cathartics, which are well calculated to
drench, but unhappily also to weaken the III
testines. We say unhappi!y, since such medi-
clnes are the favorite resource of many ill-ad-
vised persons, who resort to them upon the
most trivial occasion, and greatly to their dis
comfort and injury.

0pnGsitiOn TO Early Railroads.

When the Central Railroad was in it's
infancy, the company experienced
great trouble with certain landowners,
whose property had been taken by ap-
praisal, at or near Tribes Hill. It was
with great difficulty that trains could
pass, although vigilant watch was
kept up. Men were stationed with a
hand-car just east Of the curve leading
into Tribes Hill from the east, and,
when they heard the evening train
coming west, they would put on the
hand car just as near ahead of the train
as they dared, and run ahead of the
train into the station; but between the
hand-car and the train the track would
be literally strewn with stones, rails,
and all manner of distinctions, which
were thrown down from the heights
above, so that the train would have to
stop to clear the track (each train car
rled men for that purpose), and then
proceed at snairs pace into the station.
Then again the tracks would be piled
with huge heaps of straw, and the en-
gineer would stop and find nothing but
straw. 1t was usually thought that the
straw business was only scare, but
about the first time he attempted to run
through without stopping he found a
huge bowlder in the center. Thus mat
ters went Oh from bad to worse;, All at
tempt was made to burn one of the
company's bridges near this village.
This was so highly criminal, and it was
made SO hot for some persons, chat hos
tllities ceased. Upon one occasion,
George Cox, who, with his brothers,
Tom and Maxwell, were well known up
and down the valley as locomotive en-
gineers, was watching the track near
Tribes Hill with shot gun, with in
structions to shoot the first man he saw
placing any instructions on the track.
1t was quite dark, and. at q short dis
>tance from him he saw two men carry
something large and heavy and place it
on the track. His first impulse was to
shoot, and he hauled up, but he hated
to take human life, and thought he
would steal upon them and see who
they we're. He did so, and found that
they were two travellers who had come
from the canal with their chest to take
the train, and, being tired, had set it
down to rest..-Amster0l0no IN. -

John Sherman's '!Difficulty.''

Didn't you have fight once on the
floor of Congress with Southern
member?"
THE only difficulty of that sort I
had was with man by the name Of
Wright, from Tennessee. He was a
man who drank hard, and came on the
floor in that condition. [ was making
speech one day, and came to the end
of sentence, when this man said,
That's lie He was some distance
from me, and I did not hear it; but the
reporter did hear it, and put it down i'll
his transcript, SO that next day it ap-
peared in the Globe newspaper. This
made me mad, and / arose on the day
following TO question Of privilege. L
said that I had not heard any such re-
mark made, and presumed that the
gentleman from Tennessee who did
make it, as the reporter had heard it,
was in such condition that he did not
know what he was saying. At this
Wright arose as if to make d reply, but
his colleagues surrounding him pulled
him down. A little while after he came
around to speak to some of the South
ern Americans, or Known othings, who
sat just around me. He addresseda re-
mark to one of these, and as he did so
looked at me with some insolence. l
arose at once and picked up cup Of
waters, such as lay on the desk of every
member at that time, and threw the
contents in his face. He had a pistol
at his hip, and tried to draw it on the
floor, when he was suppressed by the
other members. However, the incident
made great impression on the House,
and led to all early adjournment, as
there was every expectation OF either a
duel or an affray. 1t was known that l
was no duelist, but would repel an as
sault. A member from the Southern
element came to me to find out what |
meant to do. ! told him that I should
repel any physical attack on me with
interest. He then instructed me that if
the sequel of this incident was to be an
assault instead of a duel, there could be
but one assault-that the fight had to-
begin and end in single encounter.
He told me to be ready. I got pistol
and put it IN my pocket, and l was a
good shot. I never felt cooler in my
life, and made up my mind that the
instant Wright approached me with
hostile intention [ would shoot him
dead. A friend Of mine, capable in
such emergencies, walked out of the
Capitol with me, and as we descended
the steps on the side next to the city
and came to the fountain which flows

league. walked toward him, looking
him III the eye, with my hand on the
pistol, fully determined to shoot him if
he raised his hand. But he did nothing
of the kind. He probably saw what Was
IN reversion for him, and / went right
past him without suffering an encount-
err. He afterward turned out drunk
ard and died drunkard. The remarks
passed on him at home in Tennessee, on
account of his cowardly behaviour at
that time, used him up."-Gnth, I'M Cj11-

a Rainy Sunday at a Country Inn.

4 Rainy Sunday at Country Inn.
1t was Saturday evening; the last streaks of
rosy light were stealing away from the western
sky and the stars were appearing, as rode up
TO the inn of an obscure, inland village in one
Of our Northern States. .e.-e...--
1t was beautiful village, hemmed in by far
extending forests which were, at that tme
vocal with the night rehearsal of a full reptiian
choir. Weary with the fatigue of the day,
sought the retirement of the room assigned by
the host, and promised myself q day of enjoy
ment on the morrow. But things do not always
happen as we would wish. Early in the morning
I was awakened by the rain dancing on
the pitched roof and splashing against
the small window-panes. After arising,
gazed through the dormer window which
faced the village street. The sky was
ohscured by clouds laden with storm, and
along the streetside ran muddy stream,
dimpled by the falling rain-drops, In front of
the inn and at right angles with the village
street, an old turnpike-road wound through the
green fields, and was lost to sight in distant
pine grove. D wn the street, on little knoll,
stood the village church. Its bright gilded vane
and newly shingled roof gave evidence OF recent
repairs. Upsthe street. as far as our vision ex-
tended, were number of wooden structures,
whose monotenous white fronts and green

Nothing of peculiar note occurred during the
