MANY persons have heard. the ques-
ton, "Who struck Billy Patterson ?"
without knowing the origin of it. 1
propose to enlightan them a little on
the subject William Patterson was
a very wealthy tradesman Or mer-
chant of Baltimore, in the State OF
Maryland. In the early days of
Franklin county he bought up a
great many tracts OF land in the
country, and spent a good portion OF
his time in looking after his interests
there. He was said to be as strong
as bear and as brave as lion, but
like ali brave men he was lover OF
peace, and, indeed, q good, pious
man. Nevertheless his wrath could
be excited to fighting pitch. On
one occasion he attended public
gathering in the lower part OF Frank
lin county, ut some district court
grouud During the day the two
opposing DULLES and their friends
raised row and a general light was
the consequence. At the eeining of
the atfray, and before the lighting
began, Billy Patterson ran into the
crowd to persuade them not to 6ght,
bnt to make peace aud be frieii.ls.
But his efforts for peace were unayal :
ing, and while making them some OF
the crowd in the general meler struck
Rills Paterson Il severe blow from
behind. Billy al once became fight
ing mad. aud cried out at the top of
his voice, "Who struck Billy Patter-
son?' No one could or would tell
him who was the guilty party. He
then proposed to give any man 500
who would tell him "Who struck
Billy Patterson. From 500 he
rose to $1,000; but not $1,000 would
induce any to tell him "Who struck
Billy Patterson. And years after
ward, in his will, he related the
above facts aud bequeathed $1,000 to
be paid by his executors to the man
who would tell "Who struck Billy
Patterson" His will is rerorled in
the Orslinary's Office at Gainesville,
f. ankin county, Ga, and anyone
rious about the matter can there
fud it and verify tho proceeding
statements. ~

As mentioned last week, upon ar
rival of the Jesse X. Bell last Nom
day evening, an excursion party took
passage at Colfax for Grand Ecore
and return. The party consisted of
ten or twelve couples. with our newly
married friend ]. H. McNeely and
his fair bride of last week at the
head. To add to the pleasure of the
trip the Natchitoches string and
brass band were on board, just re-
turning from an excursion to New
Orleans, and kindly volunteered to
furnish music for the occasion. A
quadrille was soon formed, and the
dancers encroached largely upon the
morning hours before they ceased to
trip to the enlivening strains OF music.
Tuesday morning at breakfast time
found the boat at Montgomery, and
some six hours behind her usual time,
caused by the large amount OF up
freight snd the frequent landings to
be made. And when one sees the
way the boat lands from one side of
the river to the other, making hun
dred Standings in almost the same
number of miles, it looks incredible
that she should make the time she
does. During the morning couple
of sets were danced. About four
o'clock Tuesday evening we reached
Grand Ecore, at which place large
amount of freight was discharged.
While there number Of excursion
lists took famble over the place,
visiting the old brick house on top
of the high bluff near the landing,
which was voted to be most inter-
esting spot. From the top of the
bluff you see miles of we'll titled
lands stretching along the east bank
of Red river, the straight field rows,
fences and houses dotted here and
there making pretty picture. Hav-
ing lot of freight for landing two
or three miles above Grand Ecore,
the Bell was run up to that place,
and it was after dark before she
got back to Grand Ecore, where
she had large amount OF cot
ton to take on. The second evening
only three sets were danced, and one
or two waltzes, the most of the time
being spent listening to instrumental
pieces on the piano, and songs, by
ladies and gentlemen who proved
most proficient in that line. We'd
nesday morning found us at Colfax
again, and the excursion at an end.
Upon comparing notes some we're
highly pleased with the trip. while
others did not think the fun had
held out as it should. Be this as it
may. all are forced to admit that the
Bell is charming boat. with set
of obliging and courteous officers,
and that travelling on her is luxury
to be appreciated.

near the northwest corner of the

of fresh water some three feet In

Ants fight with the utmost
fury. So deadly is their grip
that frequently the whole abdo-

and yet, though little more than
an Infatuated head and legs she
still keeps up the fight. Sir John
Lubbock states that he has fire.
quentIy found an enemy's head
hanging on to the legs of living
ant, who, through the tenacity
Of the grip is obliged to carry
about with her on the most fes-
tive occasions this CHASTITY and
inconyenient memento of her
victory. NJ. Mocqueys even as
sures US that the Indians of
Brazil make use of this tenacity
in The case Of wounds, causing
the ant to bite the lips of the
cut and thus bring them to-
gether, after which they cut off
the ants head, which thus holds
the lips Of the wound together.
