HOW MANY STORIES.

Men are not so depraved that they

wound, but it does exasperate one
beyond endurance. lfyou have any

A ROMANTIC EPISODE.

A romantic episode in every day
life has Just come to life ia DOdham.
John Flnu resides with his wife and
a portion of bis family in neat cots
tage, of which he is the owner, 10.
Gated on or near the boundry line of
Dedham and Boston. Here he has
resided for at least twenty five years.
lie has had three sons, one of whom,
John, enlisted in the army during
the "late unpleasantness" and was
killed. The other two sons were
named Cornelius ard William. Cor
nelius was lad of IL years at the
! outbreak of the war. He suddenly
left town, and his parents hearing
nothing Of his whereabout concluded
that he, too, had enlisted, especially
as during the war they read of one
Cornelius Finn, attached to New
York regiment, being killed. The
family mourned for him as sincerely
as they did the death of John.
Last September William went to
Colorado to settle, hoping to better
himself. While seated in a room in
the western part of this State one
afternoon soon after his arrival there,
miner entered and announced to
the company present that Cornelius
Finn had opened new mine. Viii
liam, taken somewhat aback by the
name. said that he had brother
once whose name was Cornelius
Finn. TO which the miner respond
ed by looking at the stranger and
declaring that he resembled Corne-
ius Finn, the miner, and might be
his brother. Subsequently the miner
met Cornelius and informed him Of
his encounter with William. Cor
nelius became greatly agitated upon
learning the name of the stranger
and that be came from Dedham, and
Immediately started for the town.
The meeting was decidedly affect
ing. Cornelius at once recognized
/ William as his brother, although
William, being younger, bad not so
strong recollection of Cornelius.-
Mutual explanations followed, and
Cornelius related his wanderings
since leaving home. He had gone
South 10 1861 and entered the army.
At the conclusion of the war be drift
ted TO Colorado, whore he had inter
ested himself in mining and had be-
come wealthy. Regarding bis neg
lect to send letter home, he exr
planned that he had read in the pa
pers of the death of bis parents, add
had also the report substantiated by
John Finn, a former resident oil
/ Dsdhan, whom he met. He hac
abandoned all hope of ever seeing OF
hearing from his folks. He at once
took William with him to bis mining
camp and gave him an important
position. His father has received 1
check for 81 ,O00.- Boston Globe.

A HORRIBLE SHOW.
Athens (Ga.) Banner Waterman.

| Saturday Mr.. A. S. Dorsey gave
to Alderman 4. H. Lamkin small
spotted make that be had caught IN
| his garden, about six or eight inches
lloog. Mr.. l.. carried il into his bar,
and was amusing bis customers with
the antics of the reptile, for it was a
spiteful little creature and struck ous
right and left. About shutdown q
young man named John Smith, from
the country, came into the bar and
remarked if Mr.. Lamkin would set
up the liquor he would place the
snake in a glass cover up the body
| and drink it dry. Having no idea
that he would do such a thing, the
bottle was set out, when Smith took
up the snake, coiled it up in large
lumber, poured out the liquor and
turning the glass to his lips drained
it. The news spread and a crowd
gathered and he was urged to repeat
the feat. He treated the crowd this
time to show that he was no dead
beat, as he said. He then deliber-
ately repeated his performance, and
we closely watched him. The with
ing body of the reptile, that was ag-
gravaled by tho treatment, was fore,
ed into the glass, and the same filed
with liquor. Smith then deliberate
Iy turned the glass to his lips and
slowly drained it, the head of the
snake striking at his mouth all the
time, and its shiny body coiling
around his lips. The spectators shud-
dered at the sight, and we heard one
man swear that he had taken his
last drink that as long as he lived
the thought of that Snaked baptised
in spirits would haunt bis mind
After this an old negro man who is
snake charmer, came along
and taking up the snaka placed it in
bis mouth, closing his lips upon the
body. The reptile seemed very in
dignant at this last affront, and came
forth with its head erect and its
forked tongue darling out. Mr..
Lankin Gays the snake was of a
perfectly harmless species, being
garter. He also tells us that he
keeps behind his bar a large king
snake for the purpose of catching
rats. This snake lately crawled Inv
to demjohn that had been care-
lessly left open and when DC Hardin
went to Investigate the same the
reptile poked its head from the
mouth of the jug. To this day
Hardin believes he came near hav>
ing the jim jams.

TWO. THIRDS RULE.

We trust our next Conventions,
gubernatorial, congressional and
county, will abolish finally and for
ever the two thirds rule and estab
Iish in lieu thereof of the majority
rule. The two ;hirds rule was orig
inally adopted to protect the soutf
in the days of slavery. Slavery II
gone, and the chief reason for the
rule 20 longer exists. Another rea'
son alleged is to protect the rights
of the minority, aud produce cons
cord aud unity in the party. The
minority certainly have rights
which should be protected, but the
majority also have rights which
should be respected, and among
those rights is the one to name the
candidate. Tho two-thirds rule has
been productive of more discord
than concord, more disunion than
union. Two years ago it sundered
the Democratic party of the State,
aud gave US two candidates, Col
Quit and Norwood. In the Charles
ton Convention of $50, Mr., Doug
las received majority vote for the
Presidential nomination and it Is at
least possible, if the two-thirds rule
had not been the usage of the party,
that minority would not have se>
ceded from tho Convention, and
Douglas might have been elected
and the war averted.
The two-thirds rule is foundnd on
false premises. Take hundred
mon. Why should 81 control the
judgement and action Of GO 7 Is it !
not more reasonable that the maj or
ity should rule, than the minority
If any great outrage is perpetrated
by the majority, the minority have
the right of revolution left, or rather
the right OF noncompliance. But
where man has fairly earned a
nomination at the hands of a ma or
ity of his fellow citizens, it is un>
lust and unfair that an implacable |
minority should defeat him. The
majority rule is the rule with the
Republican party, and their nomina'
tons have been quite successful in
the past. Take our independent
friends. Suppose the party had
eleven members, instead of nine -
Four could defeat the choice of sew,
en-. Let the two thirds rule be re
legated to the rear with the useIesq
lumber of the past era, The organ
ic law of tho laud only requires a
majority of the Electoral College to
elect q President of the United
States, and 10 elections for members
of Congress, and many State and
county offices, a plurality vote is
sufficient to elect.-MdIedge0lUe

IouR rmpArrENcE TO coNsuMn.

soUR IMPATIENCE TO CONSUME
We have passions which solicit
us strongly to this or that present
good, though it may be temporary
aud Of small value. What is neal
at hand attracts us more powerfully
than what is remote and apparently
! uncertain. That "a bird in tht
hand is worth two in the bush" has
become proverb, and is repeated
over and over by thousands auc
probably by millions. The provert
means that desirable thing in &C
tual possession equals in value two
similar things which we have not yet
secured and which may probably
never be in our power II teaches
that good is not always to be meas>
u'ed by count or bulk, but that GER
tainty of attainment is also prime
factor. But unfortunately it is not
alone the uncertainty of attainment
which puts future ADD distant good
at a discount A far more disturb'
ing element is our impatience to en~
! Joy Impotence to consume, --
We not only want to count the
chickens before they are Matched,
but we want good mess of chicken
for dinner this very day, and cOnse~
quently we kill and cook the hen
before the eggs are even laid. We
may know to reasonable certainty
that if we spare the hen the eggs
will be produced, and that in the
course of few months we may ems
10Y ten chicken dinners in lieu of
this one and still we are unwilling
to deny ourselves now for the sake
of so much more hereafter, and SO
wo wiring the hens neck or cut off
her head, and she passes through the
kitchen and mounts the dinner table
in dish. And we are happy for
about the space of Thirty minutes.
We manage, however, to cat more
hen by going into debt. We antic'
ipate that next fall we shall have
money from the sale Of cotton, and
upon that expectation we purchase
divers hens on a credit, rot to eat
next fall after they are paid for, but
to sat along ia the Sumner before
they are paid for, We thus eat out
the fall ia the summer We eat next
week this week we eat Tomorrow
to-day, and we ate to-day yesterday
Instead of marching with our supply
wagons 10 the rear aud eating from
behind US, We march them in front
aud eat ahead. Having the mouth
in the face and not in the back OF
the Uranium, we think we must draw
support from the future and not
from the past. We proceed as if
we had literally to guaw our way
with our teeth to where we are go
ing. Impatient to consume, we can
not wait to produce and consume
afterwards, hut we anticipate pro
duction, strain our credit, and final
| ly pay double the regular cash price
or some eXorbitant rate of interest
or break and never pay at all And
our only consolation is that we have
had the hens, eaten every one OF
them, and lived high during the
summer.-Jndge l.. II Blechley
