THE RIVAL LANDLORDS.

Peck's Sun tells this most incredible
story: 1t is said that during the high
water at Prairie du Chleu. the Dousman
House was full Of guests, the water was
up to the second story, and they could
not get away. Williams, the proprietor,
made the guests catch fish for board.
There was fsh-pole out of every win
dow, and Williams had corner fish
bait. He had place where he could
dig worms, and no one knew where it
was but himself. 1t was said to be a
touching sight to see him 90 around to
the different rooms with an old oyster
can and sell angleworms to the travel
ing men. The guests finally struck on
buying worms. They opened the win
1ows and let the fish in the rooms, aud
then chased them under the beds and
caught them in the wash bowls. One
travelling ina says Williams is awful
heartless. A mud turtle came along and
roasted on the second story window sill,
aud Williams pushed him off into the
water because he hadn't any baggage
and wouldn't pay in advance. Some of
these stories against Williams are told
by Col. johnson, at the eatinghouse
here, who is down on Williams on ac.
count of some game played at Hot
Springs. We believe they call it a
John Pot" Williams says he turned
the mud turtle because he thought it
was one Of Johnson's bed bugs. We
wouldn't have such temper as either
OF those men have got for anything.

This same day the noted General Duff
Green appeared at the State Peuitentiary
aud demanded OF Lieutenant Hoysradt
Gin charge) an opportunity to converse
with Professor McCulloch, "whom," he
added, Il know you've got locked up
here" Hoysradt declined to comply
with General Green's request, whereup-
on that worthy whipped out an order
from General Turner, the district CON-
mander, directing the admission of the
bearer to any aud all cells of the peui-
tentiary. This order, also, Hoysrant re-
fused to obey, aad little later he was
arraigned at department headquarters
for disobedience and contempt. But a
few words spoken by me privately to
the commander released the officer from
annoyance, ard Greneral Green, rather
discounted AID crestfillen, departed
WlllOut the interview he had so per-
empt0rlly demanded. A few days later,
however, he returned with an order from
Assistant Adjutant General Townsend
but this was of 10 more avail than his
previous authorizations, l appealed to
the War Department for written orders
relative to the recent imprisonment Of
Professor McCulloch, and within week
there came to me, through General Terry,

Carried on BIZ an Alligator.

The following dreadful affair is related
by the Lake City (Fla.) Reporter: A
lew days ago party of several persons
near Benton went on "drive" for deer.
About twelve o'clock they came to Peo-
ple's bridge, on the Suwannee, and being
warm and much fatigued they concluded
10 take bath. The party, consisting
Of about eight, divested themselves of
clothing and enjoy ed IA swim. As most
of the party were employing themselves
In dressing, "A young man named Nixon
cried ont, Boys, | must have one last
,wim," and plunged into the stream.
As he reached the middle he cried for
help to his companions. and they looked
10 behold him held by the right shoul-
der in the mouth of an enormous alli-
gator. The monster sank with him,
reappearing some two or three minutes
later upon the surface with Nixon still
in his jaws. Nixon cried to his COM
panions to shoot, but before Il gun could
be discharged he sank again, taking
Nixon under with him. About two
minutes after he arose again and struck
for the opposite shore, still having the
Ill fated young man in his enormous
mouth. Again Nixon called upon his
companions to shoot, but being afraid of
hitting Nixon no one discharged his
gun. The alligator crept some half a
dozen feet upon the opposite bank: re-
naming about three minutes. when,
guided by sudden impulse. he plunged
with his precious burden into the river
again, and reaching the middle sank to
rise no more within the view of the
party. A thorough search was made.
but naught could be seen of the body or
parts OF the body of the unfortunate
young man. The presumption is that
the alligator made for his lair, which
probably was near Mt hand.

Love that GIorifles the Humblest Man.

There is nothing in the world 50 sad
as human nature, and the tears como
into my eyes now as l think of the pitt
ful story Tom told me as he smoked his
after. supper pipe last night. Tne other
day, just before came Zone, Tom had
occasion to go over the lake. On his way
back, and when the train stopped at the
bay, be noticed man getting into the
car in front of him with a little baby
lying in his arms. The baby seemed
young, and the man hushed it in his
arms with a gentle, rocking motion,
bending over it now and then to kiss
its white face: After the train got under
way the conductor came to Tom and
said: Come with me, want to show
you the saddest, strangest sight you
ever saw in your life," and he LED
the way into the next car. "Do you
see that man over there?n said he, and
there sat the man whom Tom noticed
with the baby. His precious little hun
die lay quiet on the seat in front of him,
and, as these other two men watched,
he leaned over. looked long and earnestly
in the little flower face, and then kissed
the frail tinger-tips he held so gently in
his hand. "That baby's dead" said
the conductor. 1t died this morning
at the bay. He couldn't bear TO put it
in q coffin, because then it would have
to 60 without him in the baggage car,
and so he is just carrying it home to New
Orleans in his arms" And the car rat
tied on; the boy called his stale slices
Of sponge cake and his cigars through
the train; the passerg gers laughed. and
smoked, and fought the mosquitoes;
and he, stricken to the hearts core. sat
there quiet rnl unnepding, watching
over his dead child, kissing the fingers
that would never a ,ain softly clasp his,
looking down upon the white lids that
had closed over the bright eyes as the
petals of sensitive fowe close at night
time over its delicate hear and the
world wasnothing to him.--Nao Orleans
Times.
