An Intensely Funny story.


You remember that fellow who wrote

some money on one of the western
railroads l forgot what they call it,
"Wen. what of himY'
"Why not long ago he was in, what's
that town in Wisconsin, You know
Don't mind the name of the town;
what did he dol"
What the deuce is the name of that
town. A big policeman came from
there. You know him. Well, this fell
low
(which fellow?"
81 can't think of his name. It's a
good joke, and / nearly died when
heard it. He'd come up from that big
plantation in Louisiana kept by--by,
Who's that big banker i'll st. Louis?
The man who built line of steamboats,
from Keokuk toto --Pll think of the
name in minute the mouth of--you
know that river in Arkansas. Anyway
he'd come up on the that road that
runs at the west bank of the Mississippi
from that place opposite Cairo-consol-
idated with the Cairo a. Fulton road.
What's the name of that liner"
Don't know; never was in that
country. What did your man do THAT
was so funnyP" \
"Why. he'd come up from that plan
tation on this line to the town in Wis
consiu, and struck for the-the- that
hotel on the corner of Jefferson and that
other street--named after Frenchman.
Strange | can't remember it. Don't
you know the houseP
Never heard oft. Don't know any
thing about it. Go on with your story"
"Well, he got there, and he perpe-
trated the best pun you ever heard on
the landlords name. The landlord got
off pretty good thing on this mans
name; but l can't remember what it
was Anyhow, this man asked the
landlord: why are you like an insur-
ance company he named the compa-
ny, but I've forgotten what it was.
why are you like this insurance COM

"Well, sir, the answer is the funniest
thing you ever heard. 1t broke me all
up when heard it,"

"Why, yes. You see if l could re-

Journalists Passing Away.

New York Letter.
The death OF Colonel Forney
brings home the fact that nearly all
the prominent journalists, who oc-
cupied leading position during
the civil war, are rapidly passing
away. There are Few journals in
this city, numerous as they ere, that
are controlled by the same intellects
that were dominant then. Greeley,
Bryant, Brooks, Raymond and the
elder Bennett have long since de-
parted from the scene, and, though
their places are filed with younger
men of recognized ability, it is a
question whether they have that
commanding influence in the forma
ton or dire tion of public opinion
which was welded by their prede-
cessors. Thurlow Weed and James
Watson Webb remain, but even
they apparently are near their jour
ney's end. Mr.. Forney frequently
was the Jealous antagonist of more
than one or the old time journalists
above mentioned, and the conflicts
in which he has frequently engaged
with them, just after the breaking
out OF the rebellion, were Of no ordi-
nary bitterness, but at all times, and
under all circumstances, it is not
too much to say he was "a foeman
worthy Of their steel" Outside of
journalistic, literary and politics
circles he had hosts OF friends in
New York, AMI probably nowhere
will his death be more widely or
more sincerely regretted than here.

The second Thought criticisms upon

The second thought criticisms upon
the presidents message all agree in
praising ir'as a creditable, statesman
like document. The absence of refer
ence to the south as a distinct part
of the union is commented upon favor
ably. 1t is the first time since the war
that the southern question did not enter
into a message as a distinct issue. In
deed, the abuse OF the south was for
wears the foundation stone of republic
canism and by it they were enabled to
hoodwink the north into an almost solid
opposition. The abandonment OF that
idea is followed by the taking up OF an
other scheme upon which they hope to
thrive-that is, the political dismem ber-
ment OF the south by the Malone pro-
cess. The message does not refer TO this
directly, of course, but the president
and the party have given themselves to
it. The message starts Mr.. Arthur out
fairly, but we doubt very much, from
his former associations, whether he will
keep in with tie pleasing Policies indi-
Gated only so long as they serve his
party pun poses.

Your type last week made me say
that DR.. Williams office caught fire
instead of Dr. Baugh's stable in the
rear of Williams Office. We hearth
ly endorse G. o. Bulls proposition
concerning the canvassing for
county offices, i to let each can
didate stay at home, announce
himself through the county papers
and await the result. 1t would be
just as fair for one as for the
other, beside that we think that in
a christian country like ours, it is
high time that this way of rushing
and worrying over the county with
few gallons of whiskcy, treating
unprincipled men in order to buy
their votes, should be stopped. Let
every man make his choice and vote
from principle. Atha Baugh has
returned to Pulaski. DR.. J. J. Up

Republican Raid on the South

Special to the Courier ournal.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-As stated in
last nights dispatches, it is the inten-
ton OF the administration to try and
break democratic rule in the southern
states. following up the success of the
movement in Virginia. AS a confirma-
ton of that statement, it may be men,
toned as political fact that arrange
ments are now being made TO wrest
Tennessee aud West Virginia from the
Democracy. The whole bent OF the
stalwart element of the repu blican party
and of the administration will be in that
direction. The cry has gone forth that
Tennessee must be captured by the re-
publicans, and every effort is being
made to induce the fulfillment of that
demand. The stalwart wing of the re-
publican party is rallying to it; all that
the stalwarts and administration can do
to secure the overthrow of the democ-
racy in Tennessee will be accomplished
without scruple. 1t is also noticeable
fact that the stalwarts are patting
Emory Speer, of Georgia, OH the back,
and urging him to become the Malone
of Georgia. But it is to be placed to
the credit of the political sagacity of
the stalwarts and the administration
that they do not expect any immediate
fruits from Georgia; they only want
Mr.. Speer to inaugurate the endeavor.
Their first OBJ ective point is Tennessee,
and after that they propose to pounce
upon Arkansas; and then, II successful,
they will devote themselves to other
states, being guided in their action by
the consideration as to where the chan
ces, carefully weighed, seem best.

The shooting of state senator for
words uttered in debate shows a deplor-
able state OF affairs. We have appre-
hended personal difficulties, and we ap-
prehend more serious ones yet, and we
have counselled and plead for concilia-
ton and peace. First breaking up OF
the party, then communities and Sec
tions arrayed against each other, and fl
nally individual rencounters, strifes and
abuses-and assassination! 1t is time
for the people to stop and think. The
matter at Nashville was an outrage that
should be resented by the people in an
overthrow of these strife-makers.

Col. John w. Forney, one of the
greatest newspaper men the world has
produced, died at his home in Philadel-
phia last Friday night. He was con-
nected with the war administration and
was for years the leader in the political
discussions that filled in the exciting
times from go up. Watterson says he
belonged to the illustrious quintette of
journalists Of which Bennett was the
news-monger, Greeley the publicist,
Raymond the polemic, Prentice the wit
and Forney the politician-and that he
could hold his own with either Of these
giants upon his own ground.
