DEAR JOURNAL: I have but little IL
the way Of news this week. | think
everybody must have Joined the church
and concluded 10 live quiet life there
after and everything in this section ap'
pears to have been finished, for neither
the sound oftbe saw or the hammer is
to be heard in the land.
am happy to say that we are better
off at present in the way of living than
at any other time this year We can
go out nearly any time and knock a
"razor back" pig in the head, then send
after pint Of old Kentucky Bourbon,
60 out and call up the neighbors, and
in short time you never saw such a
getting up as We have.
Our deputy tax collector reminds US
of the meteoric showers we were told to
be on the look out for-we are looking
and looking for him, but be don t
come.
I hope our Legislature will do some-
thing in the way of curtaillng the
salaries of public officers before they
adjourn Lessen our taxes, SO that
when a man works hard allthe year, plow'
ing an old OK and only makes one bale
of cotton, he can have a little left after

already for tax money that my OK is
''getting old and feeble now, and his
head is getting grey"

officer Halle drew up before my gate
and demanded a receipt or pay. Come,
now, Buffalo, you know I had receipt
against that execution which you got
from the man down in Camden. | am
a poor Judge. it is true, in regard to
work animals, but I'm hard to take on
their age. We also notice piece from
Greybuck, where he speaks of that tax
collecting man, saying that be is COM
ing to see Red Bluff, and will bring
three pitchforks, and if be don't pay
up or show a receipt, be is going to
"level" on his horned horses. Now
Greybutk, you tell that tax-collectine
man that if he intends to arrest those
horned horses, he had better bring along
hamper Of shucks instead of pitch
forks, or be may be hooked up into the
happy land of Canaan. RED BLUFF

Our tar kiln section was startled a
few Gays ago by the arrival of an ex-
Trial Justice, and we thought We were
gone up, sure; but matters were soon
quiete3 when we found out what was
the matter. He only wanted to see
whether We had paid our little mite into
the county treasury. We told him we
had, and he went off whistling.
We notice that ''Greybuck" advises
Fancy Dan" to try some of "Captain
Jacks" "alteration" for the toothache.
Come, now, "Greybuck," don't go it too
strong, or it may be that pitchfork man
will be after you soon to take you in for
some of your shortcomings.

he told me that he had just come from
Beaver Dam Church, where he had
been to attend the wedding Of MIR. j.
R Thorn and Mrs. Sallie Turner, all of
this county. He says that he was so well
pleased with things that it put him in the
notion of marrying, and that he intends
to take that fine iron grey and start out
on a tour to see if he can't find some
girl who will say yes--just to take pity
on him in his old age. Success to him

Mysteries Of the Dead Letter Onice.

The Dead Letter Office at Washington
reveals some curious facts, and one
striking feature Of its operations is the
receipt of letters containing money and
other valuables. Special efforts are
made to return or forward them and 80
per centum Of such letters are disposed
of. Some letters containing small
amounts, sent under fictitious names for
improper purposes, and some commu
nications sent to lottery dealers, after
failing of delivery either through order
of the Postmaster General, as in ths
latter case, or for other reasons, are re-
fused by the senders, who disclaim all
knowledge of them. About $500 in
greenbacks and $1,000 in government
bonds are the largest amounts that
have been taken from letters 10 recen.
years. Twelve thousand dollars is the
largest amount that has ever been
found in single letter. A draft un.
claimed and consequently bogus, found
in one letter, was for 81. 800, 600. II is
noticed that since the fractional cur
rency has been retired. postage stamps
to about the same amount have appra'-
ed in letters received.

A Sputtering Tea Pot.

Union M. X. Sunday School excursion

his dinner on yellow legged chickens
after he got there.
In his report of the excursion to the
"Gazette," he praised everything and
almost every ybody in general especially
the gentleman at whose table he got
those yellow legged chickens, but after
all his righteous heart vas vexed, as
he heard some boy say bad word and
saw the reporter of the REPUBLICAN
playing croquet. He forgot however ia
say that the gentleman at whose table
he ate yellow-legged chickens was also
one Of the croqust party.
Had the reporter only had chicken
at his table and had this sainted cor,
respondent tor guest, he no doubt
could have played croquet too without
shocking the christian sensibilities OF
this pure old gentleman. If the repor'
ter referred to was SHINING so outra'
geously, this christian correspondent
should have gone to him and remon
strated with him upon the sinfulness o
his ways and no doubt he would have
