TOWN TALK,

About two weeks since large party
from Atlanta picnicked on Kennesaw noun
tain, and near by lived a colored man,
named Jim Griggs, humpbacked and de-
formed by disease He often rode donkey
to town selling mats, baskets, &c. Some
boys of the party seeing the .decrepid old
man, and determined on securing all the
fun the party could furnish, fired off pis-
toll alongside and frightening the donkey,
caused it to throw the old man and cut
several severe gashes about his head, from
which he died last Sunday morning. A
more noffensive old creature never lived,
but then the closely confined citizen of At
lanta must have his pistol and days

The Long Journey.


When olir feet become heavy aud weary
On the valleys and mountains OF life,
And the road has grown dusty and dreary,
And we groan in he struggle and strife,
We halt on the difficult pathway,
Glance back over the valley and plain,
And 3 gh with 4 sorrowful longing
To travel the journey agalr.'
For we know in the past there are pleas
ilres, ~
And seasons of joy and delight,
While before allis doubling aud darkness.
Aud dread of the gloom and the night;
And bright s,Inay spots we remember
How little we thotsght of them then!
But now we are looking and longing
TO res in those places again.
But vain II the vaiuest is signing,
Our course must I've forward and on,
We cannot tuf.i back on the journey,
We cannot ENJOY what is gone.
Let us hope, 81. eli. MS onward we travel
That GASES may brighten the plain,
That our road be beside the sweet waters,
Though we may bet begin it again.
For existence forever goes upwards-
From the hills to the mountains we rise.

To n land in the lmtless skies.
Strive on then, with oourag ,inshaken-

Nor glance with regret mt the pathway

LyncIing I'm Earnest.

A gentleman inst returned from the

attempt of the respectable citizens of
Weedsville, a railroad camp some dis
lance beyond Messonia,on the North
ern Pacific, to break up the reign Of
terror and outlawry which has pre-
vailed at that place for some weeks.
The rule of the outlaws had become
so absolute that it was unsafe for a
man with a dollar in his pocket to
appear on the streets, even in broad
daylight, While under cover of the
darkness terrible crimes were perpeS
trated Any attempt to arrest the
criminals was almost certain to end
fatally for those making it. The
courts were paralyzed. Urged to
desperation, the citizens at length,
with great secrecy, organized vigil>
ance committee. No time was lost in
carrying out it's object. Less than
ten days ago, it will be remembered,

Bettin z ON the Census.

Detroit Free Press.
A stranger leaned over the bar of a
Michigan avenue saloon, the other
day, and whisperingly inquired:
"Partner, what is the population of
the United States?'
"Hard on to 5O,0O0,0O0, l believe"
was the reply.
"It's over 100000, anyhow"
sob; yes"
"You'll bet on that?"
"ld like nothing better than to put
up $40 on it."
"Well, you'll have chance.
There's chap down in the shoe store
who claims that we haven't got 35,-
100000 population, and he's bluffing
everybody. I'll bring him up if you'll
make bet; and take him down a
peg"
"Bring him along"
The stranger went away and re-
turned with the buffer, who had no
sooner entered the door than he call
ed out: HIM.
"Where's the man who says this
country has over 100000 popula-
tion?"
The saloonst modastly replied that
he was the man, and in less than a
minute the two SO bills were put
into the hands of the first caller.
''There's new map in the store
across the way which has the last CEN
sus figures on it." said the saloonist,
and all went over to see the matter
settled.
The figures showed that the beer
seller had won, by large majority,
but nothing on that map, nor above,
below, nor behind it could tell what
had become of the man who held the
stakes. Indeed, it was only after the
one who had lost had also slipped
away that anybody realized that they
were confederates. Then the victim
started out with club to hunt the
world over and reduce the population
by one, but his search was in vain.
