A GEORGIA CORN SHUCKiNG.

The farmer who proposes to give corn
shucking selects a level spot in his lot, conve-
nently near the crib rakes away all trash, and
sweeps the place clean with brush broom.
The corn is then pulled off the stalks, thrown
into wagons, hauled to the lot and thrown out
at the spot selected, all in one pile. If it has
been previously ''nOrated'' through the neigh
borhood that there is to be plenty to eat and
drink at the corn shucking, 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-men, 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-shuckers on
the ground, and those proceed to divide the
shuckers into two parties, later corners 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
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 accompanied by much argument not to
say wrangling. The position OF the rail being
determined the two generals mount the corn
pile 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 on top
of the corn but there is another equally i'm
portant, which is to keep the rail from being
moved, it being no uncommon thing for one
side to change the position of the rail, and thus
throw an undue portion of the work upon their
adversaries. The position of ''gn'r'l'' in a
corn-shucker differs from that Of the soldier,
in that the former is in greater danger than
any of his followers ; for the chances are that,
should his side seem to be gaining, one OF their
opponents will knock the leader off the corn
pile and thus cause mOmentary panic, which
is eagerly taken advantage of. This proceed
ing. however, is considered fair only i'll ex-
treme cases, and not unfrequenty leads to a
general row. If it is possible, imagine ne
gro man standing upon pile of corn, holding
| in his hand an ear of corn, and shouting the
words of song below, and you will have pic
tured the ''corn gin'r'l" 1t is prime requi-
site that he should be ready in his improvisa-
tions and have a good voice, so that he may
lead in the corn-song. The corn-song is al
most always song with chorus, or to use
the language of the corn-shuckers, the ''gin :
r'ls give out" and the shuckers ''drone." !"
Those songs are kept up continuously during
the entire time the work, is going on. and
though extremely simple, yet, when sung by
fifty pairs of lusty lungs, there are few things
more stirring. -CPnt,Ty Mdgn:ine

which was to be the greatest affair OF the
kind ever known. The men of the opposing
sides retired to their camp and cooly made
preparations for the feast of death. They
groomed their horses, oiled and cleaned their
revolvers, and putting their saddles on with
care rode out to the fight. kid FRANKS men
were armed with Winchester revolyers, 80 and
a calibre, long barrelled, and Towards SIX
carried Colts improved. Each man knew his
weapon and his horse, and they were fully
aware of the fact that the men standing so
grimly in front Of them were equally well
equipped. The opposing duellsts were drawn
up in line facing each other at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon. The sight was one which few men
have looked upon. Fifty yards apart stood
like statutes two lines of men, horse and rider
almost one, every. duellst grasping huge,
glittering revolver in each hand, with the
reins in his teeth or hanging loosely, for these
WILD, FIERCE, DAREDEVIL RIDERS
guide their horses with their knees, as the
scarcely more save Indian does. Around
about, carelessly in the range of stray bullets,
were the friends of both parties, mounted on
their horses, watching the fight and to see
side the chief, who had sent these men out to
die. Over all brooded death like silence,
while on all the swelling, rolling, silent plain
shone the gold Of the bright September sun
If painter could catch that picture it would
be thing for the coming civilization tc won
der at The man who was detailed to give
the word which was destined to create
whirlwnd of death started forward. At the
first move there was a shiver OF life along
both lines, but it was not shiver OF fear
Each man Strengthened himself, grasped his
pistols the firmer and singled out his oppo-
nent The umpire lifted his hand, and
denly OH the still air came the cry OF doom,
Fire - At the word twelve horses bounded
forward, and twelve pistol shots rang out.
Three of Howard S men threw up their hands
and fell from their horses, while only one OF
Kely's men fell Kelly's men, not needing
their comrades death, sped straight towards
the three men in front of them. The latter
dropped their pistols in their bride hands
came riding swiftly on, pouring
HAIL OF BULLETS
in from pistol in every hand. The Howard
men saw the odds. They were too great,
and turning swiftly, they ran, turning In their
saddles as they flew and bravely returning
the fire. In three brief minutes the duel was
fought and won, and four dead men lay upon
the ground. Frank rode up to Howard and
said: "Now you and l will settle with each
other"
''No," replied Howard, as he looked sadly
at the dead men, 81 am satisfied"
every well" said Kelley, and orders were
given to exchange the cattle.
Very strangely no news Of the fight was
received until yesterday, but this, perhaps,
was due to the fact that no towns were passed
by the Kelley outfit. Only Frank himself has
arrived, his herd not being due for two weeks
vet. Kelley himself is a sunburnt, manly
looking young fellow, and told the story in
matter-of-fact way which would hardly at
tract attention.

Poor HUMANITY IN LONDON.-Many a
sad sight is to be seen in London, but few are
more melancholy than the spectacle of those
poor broken-d down creatures who are hired to
saunter in the cutters of our great metropolis
with advertisement boards on their backs
Their hopeless, famished faces, their lstless
gait, their tattered garments, often drenched
with rain, and the thought of the precious
pittance which hungry child or two may be
waiting at home to share, are too much for
sober contemplation and more distressing
than all, perhaps, is the look of shame about
these poor wretches. OF course, they are glad
enough to earn shilling in this way and
yet-especially on cold, raw, rainy day-it
does seem an outrage almost tor one man 10
put another to such uses. But when these
Door wretches are forced to wear ridiculous
costumes then we have no doubt about the
outrage at ALL Here, too, the ''sandwch

vet should we be delighted to see the man ad-
monished who adds to the humiliation OF fail

''guysn of these poor strollers. ut is done,

their predecessors, Mr. Brabazon asked per-
mission to call at the consulate, to inquire how
she was, in the course of day or two; and
Miss Barony accorded the permission as a
young queen might have done.
Miss Barony was young, beautiful and pl'
quaint; Mr.. BrabaZon, whose life had been
nearly badgered out of him by the caprices,
exactions and varying temper of the late Lady
Helen, was charmed by her sunny brllllance
and at a months end he came to Mr.. Bar
ony, The United States consul, to ask permls'
sion to press his suit with his niece.
Mr.. Barony looked conscious.
'Didn't you know ?" said he. "She is en-
gagged" -.
SEngaged p, repeated Mr.. Brabazon, his
heart seemed to turn into lump of ice with
in him.
sOuite an old affair, believe" said the
consul. But perhaps you had better see my
niece herself about it. I'll give her your mes
sage She can. decide to suit herself"
Miss Barony was prettier than ever, III her
cool muslin dress and pale-blue ribbons, as she
sat among the iessamines and pomegranates
| of the consulate reception-room the next day,
to receive Mr.. Brabazon. He had a speech
carefully prepared, wherein all the nomina-
tives and subjectives were carefully balanced,
and the exact words stationed in their exact
places: but he forgot it all at the fair vision
of her perfect loyeliness, and could only stand
helplessly before her, and say:
''Miss Barony, love you 20

years "

adopted me, took his name instead OF my

'But dare 1 hope" began Mr.; Brabazonn,
'that you still care a little forme! knoWlt
seems like presumption, but"

laughing, half-crying. 81 do care for YOU
more than little"
The consul gave them his blessing.

A RIVER OF Hot WATER.-The great Sutro
tunnel, cut to relieve the celebrated Comstock
mines at Virginia City, New, of the vast guam
titles of hot water which is encountered in
them, affords al outlet to II, 600 900 tons ev-
erv twenty-four hours Some of the water, as
it finds it's way into the mines, has tempera-
ture of 195 degrees, while four miles from the
mouth of the tunnel the temperature ranges
from 1870 degrees to l35 degrees. 70 obvlate
the inconvenience which would arise from the
vapor such vast quantity Of water would give
off the flow is conducted through the entire
tunnel, four miles, in tight tlume made OF
pine. At the point of exit the water has lost
sbut seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below
the mouth of the tunnel the hot water is utli-
lied for turning machinery belonging to the
company, from whence it is carried off by a
tunnel /, 100 feet in length, which serves as a
waterway Leaving the wasteway tunnel, the
water flows to the Carson river, a mile and a
half distant. This hot water is being utilized
for many purposes The boys have arranged
several pools where they indulge in hot baths.
The miners and others use it for laundry pur-
poses, and arrangements are being made
Whereby 900 acres belonging to the company
are being irrigated. 1t is proposed to conduct
the hot water through iron pipes beneath the
surface of the soil, near the roots of thousands
of fruit trees which are to be planted, and in
a similar manner giving the necessary warmth
to number of hothOuses to be used for the
propagation of early fruits and vegetables.

In other branches Of trade there has been moro

retail merchants are preparing for an active bust
