A RECKLESS OR A HEARrLEss AsPER.
SION

\ correspondent from Mexia sends US a
communication in regard to notice Of the
death Of young CONRAD TERRELL, of Tehua-
cana, on the 18th of last month. The arti.
Gle in question he says is clipped from the
Texas Observer, published in Dallas, and
reads; "a GoD.deging youth named
CONRAD Terrell was killed on the
18th Of last month by lightning"
Our correspondent speaks OF the notice as
being almost death-blow to his bereayed
mother. We do not know, or know of.
either the youth or his mother beyond
what our correspondent states, viz: That
conrad was good boy" etc, But be all
this as it may, such an announcement was
not only extremely unfortunate, but cruel,
and this whether it emanated from the
Texas Observer or elsewhere. There is an
old saying which was observed ns a precept
with even the ancient Romans and with
others in the Dark Ages, viz de mortuis
nisi bonum," or "of the dead say nothing
unless good Attaching to the sad and
unhappy accident of a little fellow suddenly
and without warning taken Off in sight
of his poor mother, that he
was "a GoD-deiying youth, :" is the implica.

The Young South.

The Southern States are now rearing
a large number of young men before
whom the outlook is bright. Some of
them are sons of the old ruling fami-
lies, but many of them have sprung
from the lower and middle classes.
They enjoy the advantages of poverty; :;
they have no money to spend in luXu-
ries or diversions; they have fortunes
to retrieve or to gain; they have grown
up since the war, and have inherited
less than could be expected Of its re,
sentiments. WELL" said bright fell

young men. They keep no grudgcs
and have no wish to fight the war over
again. The sentiment of patriotism
is getting deep root in their natures.
Yet they are full of faith in the future
of their own section. Well they may
be. During their lifetime the industry
of the South has been revolutionizcd.
and the results already achieved are
marvellous. An era of prosperity has
begun and there are few intelligent
men at the south to-day who will not

Life in a Montana Frontier Town.

The picturesque features of life in a
Western Montana town like MissOula
are best seen as evening approaches
Crowds Of roughly clad men gather
saloons. A group of Indians, who
have been squatting on the sidewalk
for two hours playing some mysterious
game of cards Of their own invention,
breaks up. One OF the sqUaws throws
the cards into the street, which is
decorated from end to end with similar
relics of other games. Another swings
baby upon her back, ties Il shawl
around it and herself, secures the child
with a strap buckled across her chest,
and strides oil, her mocCaSincd feet
! tOcing inward in the traditional Indian
| fashion. She wears Il gown made of Il
scarlet calico bcd-quiIt, with lcggins of
some blue stuff; but she has somehow
managed to get II civilized dress for the
child. They all go off to their camp
on the hill near by. Some bluc-coated
soldiers from the ncighborin@ military
post, remembering the roll-c;.ll at sun
set, swing themselves upon their horses
and go gailoping of, little the worse
for the bad whisky they have been
drinking in the saloons. A miner in

mcnsions and beard Ofa years growth,
trOts up the street on Il male, and with
droll oaths and shutlling talk, offers

A Georgia Corn-Shucking.

The farmer who proposes to give
corn-shucking selects level spot in
his lot, conveniently near the crib,
rakes away all trash, and sweeps the
place clean with Il brush broom. The
corn is then pulled off the stalks,
thrown into wagons, hauled to the lot
and thrown out on the spot selected,
all in one pile. If it has been pre-
viOusly norated'' through the neigh
borhood that there is to be plenty to
eat and drink at the constructing,
and if the night is auspicious, there
will certainly be a crowd. Soon after
dark the negroes begin to come in, and
before long the place will be alive with
them, linen, women, and children.
After the crowd has gathered and been
moderately warmed up, two gin'r'ls'
are chosen from among the most
famous corn-shuckcrs on the ground,
and these proceed to divide the shuck-
ers into two parties, later comcrs report
ing alternately to one side or the other,
so as to keep the forces equally divided.
The next step, which is one of great
importance, is to divide the corn-pile.
This is done by laying a fence-rail
across the top of the corn-pile, so that
the vertical plane, passing through the
rail, will divide the pile into two equal
portions. Laying the rail is of great
Importance, since upon this depends
the accuracy Of the division it is ac-
companied with much argument, not
to say wrangling. The position of the
rail being determined, the two generals
mount the compile, and the work
begins. The necessity for the "gin-
'r'ls" to occupy the most conspicuous
position accessible, from which to cheer
their followers, is one reason why they
get up on top of the corn; but there is
another, equally important, which is to
keep the rail from being moved, il
!
to change the position of the rail, and
thus throw an undue portion of the
work upon their adversaries. The
position of "gin'r'l" in corn-shuckel
differs from that of the soldier, in that
the former is in greater danger than
any of his followers: Tor the chance.
are that, should his side seem to b(
gaining, one of their opponents vii
knock the leader off the cOrn-pile, anC
thus cause mOmentary panic, whicl
is eagerly taken advantage of. Thi!
proceeding, however, is considered fail
only in extreme cases, and not unfre
quently leads to n general row. If it il
possible, imagine II negro man stand
ing up on pile of corn, holding in hi
hand an ear of corn, and shouting tn,
words of a song below, and you will
have pictured the corn-gin'r'l." 1t i
prime requisite that he should b.
ready in his imprOvisations and have
good voice so that he may lead in tn
corn-song. The con-sOng is almOs
always a song with chorus, or to us
the language of corn-shuckers, tn
"gin'r'ls give out" and the shucker
"drone." These songs are kept u
continually during the entire time tn
