A Fish Story.

While fishing in Bayou Teche,
in Louisiana during the war. says
a newspaper correspondent, / bait
ed my hook with minnow about
three inches long, and fastened
the end of the line to an Overhang-
ing branch Of a tree. / then went
after mud-hens for an hour or 80;
when / returned to my line, /
saw the branch bending and NOV
ing from side to side in violent
manner. On Attempting to pull
in the line, / found that some
large fish was hooked that would
probable break the hook and line
if persisted in my efforts to land
him. l went to the residence of q
gentleman near by to borrow a
fish spear, stated my case, and he
accompanied me back to the
stream with a three-pronged hay
fork, in lieu, of spear, which was
mislaid. After considerable trou-
BILE / succeeded in pulling within
striking distance my supposed
fish, which proved to be young
alligator, thirty-eight inches long
The fork was thrust into him and
we landed him. AS hooks were
scarce at the time / concluded to
recover mine, and after dispatch
ing the saurian cut him open, and
found he had swallowed a five
and a-half pound trout. In the
trout was a ''cotton-mouthed moe
cosin snake, twenty inches long;
in the snake was a soft-shelled
turtle two and a-third inches in
diameter; and in the mouth of the
turtle was the hook. The minnow
we did not find.

The Milanese are hard to please.
Albani was singing Lucia" a few
nights ago at La Scala, when, all
at once, a slight huskiness in the
singers voice betrayed itself-a
fault. 1t need hardly be said,
which most audiences would have
treated with kindness, but the
Milanese took exception to a sing
er who dared to be momentarily
husky, and Kissed. The hiss in
creased to a groan, and the tenor,
Edgardo, seeing how matters
stood, feigned sudden illness and
retired gracefully, leaving Nine.
Albani to face the indignant au-
dience. This she did by showing
whatMr. Boucic'ult calls "the full
front of her bark" leaving the
curtain to descerd upon an empty
stage, the performance having
gone no further than the mad
scene. It's unnecessary to add
that the entreatirs Of a frantic and
apologize manager were INSULT
cient to induce Nine. Albani to
finish her engagement at La
Scala.

IsDOn,t Worry

1t is doubtful if there is philoso-
ply enough In the world, even If
it were impartially distributed, to
put stop to worry. Some people
would begin to fret, the next day
after such distribution of the an
tidote, that they hadn't got their
share. And, then, some things
are as much stronger than philos.
ophy as blood is thicker than wa
ter. Temperament is one of them
Inherited mental traits, or habits
that have crystallized into dis po-
sition, are more of the same sort.
A man who has the element SO
mixed within him that he natur-
ally borrows trouble, and crosses
bridges before he gets to them,
and permits things small or great
to fret him, is bound to worry.
He may as well attempt to alter
his complexion, or change the
thickness of his skin, as to stop
worrying The most he can do is
to control the expression OF his
mental state within himself-and
that is often more wearing to
him than TO give vent to his feel
ings. Speech is the safety-valve
for constitutional worriers, and
they are truly blessed if they
have friend with willing
ear and q bouyant nature, on
whom their poured-out troubles
have no more effect than sum-
mer shower on silk umbrella

We now have in Hardeman a
straight low-tax ticket, and we call
upon the low-tax men to vote it,
from beginning to end. IF you are a
Wilson man, vote the straight ticket,
vote it from principle, vote it with
out fear or favor. Let not friend
ship for any high tax man or enmity
for any low tax man deter you from
voting the straight ticket. The
American advises Wright men to
support the high-tax ticket, regard
less of consequences, and so we ask
Wilson men to stand by their colors.
The die is cast. Let us fight to the
bitter eud, and if we are true to our
cause, victory VIII be ours. La the
next Legislature, high-tax democrats
and republicans will band them
selves together to defeat every effort
of the low-tax men to settle the State
debt as we believe it should be set
tied. Then let us not aid the com
binations by voting for any man who
endorses John Y. Wright Let us not
tie the hands of our governor and
representatives by aiding any such
unholy alliance, but let us go in
solid column to the polls in Novem-
Der, and vote the straight low tax
ticket, from top to bottom, and we
will elect men that will do the viii OF
the people. that are Of the people, and
for the people. CITIZEN.

ED. BULLETIN: In your last issue |
see letter of our Attorney General
in reply to a letter of mine in your
paper of two weeks ago, in which I
replied to a communication in your
paper of previous date, which was
not signed by anybody. That COM
munication misrepresen4ed my politi-
cal course, so that I was compelled to
take notice of the same. It now
turns out that General Dupuy was
the author of the first communication
as appears from his letter in the last
issue of your paper. In his first arti-
Gle he charged me with "bolting the
democratic nomination for county
representative of Hardeman county
in 1870, and voting against Rush, the
regular nominee" lie also charged
me, in the same article, with "bolting
the county convention that nomi-
mated NJ T. Polk for county repre-
sentative in 1872, and. supporting
Beck" l denied the charges and
called for the proof. In his article in
your last paper he gives me his au-
thority, MIR. L. NJ. Darlington, who,
he says, "will make afidavits to the
above facts" 1 have seen Mr.. Car
rington, and will give you his exact
language. Mr. Darlington says he
said to General Dupuy he heard me
say, in a street conversation, that g 4
had forgotten how I voted in the
election Of 1870, between Rush and
Rosson, and that I did not vote in the
election of 1872, between Polk and
Beck This statement of Mr..
Carrington's is quite a different YER
sion of the charges which General
Dupuy made in his first article, and
ali of it Is quite a small affair, to say
the least Of it. l am now done with
this part Of his charges, and will re
fer to one other point in his last arti
Gle. General DupuY says he is in
formed that " 4 made application t,
prominent railroad man for a pass
over the railroad home from the cen
ventiOn at Nashville on the 10th o
August last" This is untrue, ik,
many other hearsay assertions he ha
made, which he has gathered from
street talks, and which, 1 reckon, h
1 would gladly manufacture into facts
The truth is, had no use for pass
e for l, Mr.. Editor, in company witt
yourself and the rest Of the delegates
b bought a round trip ticket at The
l depot here in Bolivar, from Mr.. Can
rington, went to the convention a
r Nashville and returned home on tn
D same. Yourself, Esquire Anderson
{ e. A. Miller, and in fact all the dele
gates, did the same thing, I presume
n l had no use for a pass and made II
n application for one. In regard to tn
personal matters that General Dupu
throws at me in his last article, abou
: my action and course in the preser
: campaign, all I have to say is 1ha
they are really not worthy {
notice, and 1 pass them by. As 70
= have allowed General Dupuy to brin
his bill of charges and given spac
for my reply and his reioinder' I asl
y in justice to myself, that you allo
this, my rebuttal.
