New Orleans Picayuns.l
see a great deal written about this
gentleman, lately deceased, about
whom no one seems to know much,
but all agree that he was born in the
north of ireland and claimed all his
life to be a British subject. I have
heard a different story, though | do
not vouch for it. In my boyhood /
spent two years in Greenbrier and
other counties adjacent in the mou =
tains of Virginia. Andrew Bierne,
an Irishman, was the capitalist oftbat
region. The story current there was
that one afternoon, as he was riding
and had stopped to water his horse az
q little runlet or brook, he found an
infant boy carefully wrapped up on q
bed ofrushes. Quite startled at the
sight, after riding round and halloo.
ing half an hour for the owners of the
child, night approaching and wolves
being numerous in the forest, he took
the child and carried it to his house,
and placed it under the care of his
favorite attendants John and wife.
The parents never turned up and ia
due time the boy was named John
Durnside-a name suggested by the
locality where he was foundry the
side of a burn or brook, word com
mon in Scotland and in the north Of
Ireland. / often saw this young man
in several mercantile establishments
of Andrew Bierne, in West Virginia
where he seemed to be sort of super.
vising clerk of agent, visiting the sew.
eral stores alternately. And / never
heard there any other account of him
From his business exactitude and in.
dustry he was a great favorite witt
Mr.. Bierne, but with few others. II,
was taciturn, reserved and morose
even when young man, but his bust
ness habits and talents recommended
him, and Mr.. Bierne established hin
IN New Orleans with bis brother OIL
son. Oliver Rierne, whore his charac
teristics remained as they were in ear
ly life. He had nc sOcial feeling, NJ
sympathy, DO public spirit, but wa
pre-eminenhy successful in trade.

Reeds Gilt Edge Tonic assists diges
RiII NYe On the FlY.

Much has been said of the fly of
the period. but few write about him
who are baldheaded.
Hence we say word. Ii is of ne
use any more to deny the horrible
truth. Although as beautiful as
Peri in other ways, our trssses on top
have succumbed to the inclemency of
the weather, and our massive brow is
slowly creeping over toward the back
of our neck. Nature makes all things
even. If man be possessed Of such
ravishing beauty and such winning
ways that his power might become
dangerous, she makes him bald
headed.
That is our fix.
When we have our hat on and go
chasseing down the street with that
camel glide of ours every one asks,
who that noble looking Apollo with
the deep and melancholy eye is, but
when we are al the Office. with our
hat hung up on the French sideboard,
and the sun comes softly in through
the rosewood shutters and lights up
the shellac polish on our intellectual
dome, we are not so pretty.
Then it is that the fly, with gentle
tread and seductive song, comes and
prospects around on our bump of self
esteem and tickleS US, and make us
mad.
When we get where forbearance
ceases to be virtue, we haul off and
slap the place where he was, while he
goes over to the iukstand and smokers
at US. After he has waded around in
the carmine ink awhile, he goes back
to the bump of spirituality and makes
some red marks over it.
Having laid off his claim under the
new mining law, he proceeds to sink
on it.
five write anything bitter these
days; il we say aught of our fellow man
that is disagreeable or unjust, and for
which we afterward get licked, it is
because at times we get exasperated
and are not responsible.
If the fly were large and weighed
200 pounds and came in here and told
us if we didn't take back what we
said about him he would knock out
the window with our remains aud let
US fall 100 feet into the busy street, il
wouldn't worry US 80 much, because
then we could stangle him with one
hand, while we wrote a column edi-
torial on Conkling with the other.
We do that frequently. But a little
fragile insect, with no home and no
parents, and only four or FIVE million
brothers aud sisters. gains our con-
fdence and then tickles our scalp till
we have to write with sheet of tar
roofing over our head.
Then he comes in and helps us read
our proof. We don't want him to
help, but he insists upon making cor
rections and putting Fluctuations in
the wrong place, and putting full stops
where they knock the sense all out oil
the paragraph.
If the fly could be removed from
our pathway we would march along in
our journey to the tomb in a way that
would be the envy and admiration Of
the civilized world. As it is, we feel
that we are not making a very hand
some record.

beer at all, he generally drinks more

himself in a condition where he is
