Two Farseeing Republicans.

Before the nomination at Chi.
cago there were two,men, promi-
| nent in the Republican party,
who forsaw the inevitable lesult
of putting up a candidate convic-
ted of crime. ...
There may have been other
prominent Republicans who fore
saw the same thing; we do not
know.
One of the two was Field Mar
shall Murat.H alstead, the clear
sighted and straight speaking
editor Of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI. "The most contemplate
thing thus far at Chicago" says
the Commercial, before the break
of the flock, ''is the chatter about
Garfield. He has not a record to
run ON for President"
With its customary acuteness,
Field Marshal Murat Halstead's
provision detected the essential
and fatal point in GarGeld's can
didacy.
The second prominent Repub-
iican Was, we have every reason
to believe, Mr.. Garfield himself.
1t was natural that his memory
concerning the facts in the Credit
Mobilier and De Golyer cases,
the testimony, the record, the
opinions of the Republican press
concerning his guilt, should be
fuller and more accurate than
that of any other man in the con-
vention. Consequently he per-
sisted in his refusal to have his
name put. forward. His reluc.
lance is now Ineligible; quite as
Ineligible as the weakness which
IN moment of general uproar,
betrayed his judgment.
Ii the Republican delegates to
Chicago had taken counsel of
either Field Marshal Murat Hal |
stead Or Mr.. Garfield himself,
The party would be better off |

snore.
| At this stage of the proceed
ings Peter Brown entered the
cabin and took in the situation.
He was hungry himself, and saw
an opportunity to. get a lunch
So he quietly removed the skill
let-top, took out the opposum
and proceeded to discuss it
with the keenest relish. In 8
little while it was all devoured.
Peter then took a piece of the
remaining fat and carefully
creased Jin's hands and mouth,
while the latter continued to
snore. Peter then left the cabin
leaving the bones scattered on
the hearth.
At last Jim awoke with a
dro wsy stare and rubbed his
eyes. He looked around awhile
and then broke into the following
solilquoy:
well, Mr.. Postum, I reckon
you done by dis time; vars. you
gran vilyan, LII eat you now;
my mouf done sot regular possum
fashion,
With these words Jim looked
into the skillet, where only few
scraps marked what was left of
the savory feast:
Bless my stars he exclaimed,
"ef somebody amt done steal de

HOW jim MISSED THE POSSUM.

A correspondent at Starkville,
Miss, writes:
The Flat Greek neighborhood,
together with the whole sur
rounding country, in Eastern
Mississippi, is amply supplied
with opposums, and boasts of
two or three 'possum dogs that
cant be beat Consequently
the favorite delicacy OF the South
ern darkey is abundantly enjoyed
on the creek at the proper sea-
son. In this connection there is
often told in the community a
practical joke which Peter Brown
played on Jim Mason. Peter
and Jim were fast friends, and
generally ran together during
their leisure hours.
On one occasion, after dark,
Jim killed a small, fat opposum,
which he thought would just
about make square meal for
one hungry man. The little an
imal was properly prepared and
put on the fire to cook; while
was at that time the
sole occupant Of the cabin
stretched himself before the fire
while the opposum ives cooking.
10 q few minutes he was buried
q slumber. Jim's sleep was deep
md unbroken.. Time passed on

TESTIMONIALS.

Ouaehita City, La, May 20, 1880.
Mr Mcdonald, Bastrop, La.
DEAR SIR:-The Southern Standard
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last /
packed 259 bales cotton-averaging in
weight 500 pounds. used an ordinary
SIG cotton rope which, at the close of
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for plow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press Of which
l have any knowledge Its cheapness
and durability should recommend it to
every one. / regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 500 than the
Brooks or Reynolds or any press of like
make at $40. Yours truly,
@. B. STEELE.

B. v. Mcdonald. Esq.
Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in attest.
ing to the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by You
last summer ON this place. 1t not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
586 pounds, and many over 500 pounds.
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about 100 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring during
the progress of the work l feel satified
that any person desiring to put up a
press of this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner in
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,
THAD. WATERMAN.

Bastrop, La, May 90, 1880.

This is to certify that we had one of the
Southern Standard Presses built last
January. We had only about forty bales
of cotton packed on it, and must cay
that we are better pleased with it than
press we ever used, and we have been
using presses for over thirty years.
They are cheaper and handler than any
press we ever saw, and if put up by B.
V. Mcdonald, we are confident they
will please most any one.
