A Doctors Bill Settled.

When the time for settlement ar
rived the good doctor presented a
bill for fifty dollars, whereupon the
man of the house took down his
trusty rifle, walked up to the doctor
and in friendly accents said: "You
want goin' off without settlement,
was you, doctor? don't propose to
owe no man nothin.' Here's a ten,
which | reckon is about the square
thing. Now, then, if you amt salts
fed jist get yer weepon and come
round behind the hill thar. so the
old woman won't get riled up, and
we'll settle it. | don't want no man
to go way from my house dissatlsfi-
ed, specially you, Doc" 1t is, per-
haps, needless to add to the length
of this historical narrative by
saying that the physicians was a
man who could draw a logical infer
ence, and that he expressed an opin-
ion ON the spot that ten dollars con-
stituted an ample and even generous
remuneration for the services rem
dered. There is way to make any
man reasonable, and in Texas they
seem to have discovered that way.

Always Had q Master.

There are phases of hypocrisy. but
the Democratic party can always be
trusted to adopt the one best suited
to its purpose.
1t is nothing without master.
Its old master was slavery, its new
master the whisky ring.
II obeys orders and has no troub'
les of conscience, for it has none.
1t is not alarmed at inconsistency,
for inconsistency is its chief glory.
1t has no rule of action save to
oppose what the Republican party
advocates.
Members of the Republican party
in Ohio secured the passage Of the
Scott law. a high-license law. The
whisky ring ordered it to fight that
law and the Democrats are denounc-
ing it in Ohio.
in Iowa the Republicans have as
certained the will OF the people to be
for prohibition. declare their purpose
to see that that will is obeyed.
The whisky ring orders the Dem
ocrats of Iowa to advocate a judicious
license law and at once the welkin
rings with Democratic demands for
license.

Her Serene Little Highness.

In a letter from Robert ]. Burdette
at Nantucket declining an invita-
ton to lecture at Chautauqua, is
simply told the touching story OF
the favorite humorist's home life,
and his devotion to the wife who
has inspired all his work. and by
her inspiration has made him world
renowned:
Seriously, and in all truth and
soberness,' | cannot come. Mrs.
Burdette's health-it the poor little
sufferers combination of aches and
pains and helplessness NAV be de-
signated by such a carcastic appel
lation- has been steadily failing all
winter, and we have come down to
this seagirt island to see if the old
ocean and its breezes may do what
the doctors and mountains and
prairies have failed to do And
here we are waiting little Sc
rene highness' in utter helplessness,
able to stand alone to for wears she
has been unable to walk-her help
less hands falded in her lap. She
must be dressed, carried.
about cared for like little baby
suffering countless pains and aches
day and night, and | cannot leave
her even for a few days. No one
at Chautauqua will feel the disap-
pointment as we do, for we had
planned to go there together. Ifshe
could go with me ! would be glad
enough to creep to Chautauqua on
my knees. Her life has been foun-
tain of strength to me. In her long
years | have never seen the look of
pain out of her eyes, and for more
than half so long | have seen her
sitting in patient helpleness, and /
have never heard a complaining
murmur from her lips while she has
served as those who stand and wait,
never questioning and never doubt
ing the wisdom and goodness of the
Father whose hand has been laid
upon her so heavily. The beauti-
ful patience of her life has been
constant rebuke to my own impa-
tience, and in her sufferings | have
seen and known, and believed the
love that knows no fear and the
faith that knows no doubt" "

THE BAD BOY.

''Oh, people are not all as good as
you and l are" said the groceryman
as he watched the boy making a
sneak on bunch of grapes. 'But
did you go to the circus ?"
Circus? Well, l should assimi-
late. And it is a wonder am not
there yet. But, whatever you do,
don't ask pa if be was at the circus,
cause he will kill you. You see pa
and l drove up to the race-track,
where the circus was, in the evening,
and after the circus was out we
waited to see the men take the tents
down, and after they had gone we
started to drive home. 1t was dark
er than a squaw's pocket, and |
drove out on the race track, and the
old horse used to be racer and he
pricked up his ears. Pa took the
lines and said he would drive, cause
we were out pretty late and ma
would be nervous. / told pa didn't
believe he was on the right road,
but he said he guessed nobody could
fool him about the road to town,
and bless me if he didn't drive
around that track about eight times
Every time we passed the grand
stand, which pa could't see on ac-
count of his eyes, laffed but /
thought if he knew the road so con-
founded well | could ride as long as
he could.
After we had rode around the
track about eight miles, and | was
getting sleepy, | mildly suggested
that we had better stop at house
and inquire the way to town, and
pa got mad and asked me if | took
him for a fool. Then he drove
around a couple of times more, and
the man that keeps the track he
came out with a lantern and said,
Hello" Pa.stopped and asked him
what he wanted, and he said, 20
and pa drove on and told
him to mind his business. We went
around the track again, and when
we got to the same place the man
was there. and | guess pa thought it
was time to inquire the way, so he
pulled up and asked the man what
ne was doing there, and the man said
ne was minding his own business
Pa asked him if We were Oh the right
-oad to town, and the man said if
We wasn't in a hurry he would like
% have US drive on the track all
night, as it was little heavy, and |
ne wanted to get it in condition to
speed the colts the next day, but il |
We had to 90 we could drive out at
he gate and take the first left-hand |
.oad.
"Well, pa was mad, and he want
ID to know why | did't tell him we
we're on the track, but | told him he |
seemed to know it all, and it was
dangerous to advise a man who /
Knew it all. He didn't speak all /
he way to town, but, when | put |
,ut the horse, ne said, Henry, ifI
his thing gets out your pa will have
he reputation of being drunk. If
you tell of it you are no friend of
nine." So | shall not say anything |
.bout it, cause it is a bad boy who |
will go back on his pa.

THE FLAG IN THE DUST.
Another Brilliant Account OF the Sur
reader at Apponattox.

General J. L. Chamberlain, of
Maine, the officer who was designat-
ed by Grant to receive the surrender
of Lees army, in one of his lectures
gives graphic description of the
closing scenes of the rebellion:
We were in camp all day, while
Generals Grant and Lee were ar
ranging the details of surrender. But
on the next night, about midnight,
l was ordered to have my command
out at 5 o'clock the next morning,
to receive the colors of the rebel
army of Northern Virginia. 1t was
chilly that morning, but you may
safely bet we were on time. We
formed in line of battle, stretching
along the south street of the town
from the bank of the stream to the
court house, three quarters of mile
in extent, facing north. We were
not ashamed to face that way now.
Old Massachusetts to the right-all
that is left of her 18th, 20d. 32d, and
the 31st Maine, willing to follow
where she was worthy to lead, and
the proud fragments of the 1st and
20th sharpshooters, Michigan never
behind when a blow was to be
struck, with shadowy fragments of
her once glorious 1st 4th and 10Th.
Pennsylvania on the left with all
that remained of her 66th, 91st,
11Sth and 155th. In the rear of US
Gregory's New York brigade of new
troops, but worthy. Opposite our
own gallant little first brigade.
In that surrender Grant showed a
magnanimity we were disposed to
criticise. He insisted, however, that
while private property should be re-
spected, wherever it might be, all
that belonged to secession-the rebel
army, officers and men. must march
out with due ceremony and lay
down their arms and colors in the
presence of some portion of our
troops. As we stand there in the |
mist we see the rebel army |
breaking camp and then slowly and |
reluctantly forming ranks for the
last time. And now they move
the great mass breaking into column
Of march General Gordon with |
Jackson's corps; then
Longstreet's corps, then Hills corps,
by Heth. On they
came, the rebellion battle flags with
the diagonal cross and the thirteen
stars. The head of the rebel column
comes opposite our right, and at the
bugle signal we come to carry
arms" The rebel commander, Gen.
Gordon, at the head of the column,
observes the little courtesy, drops
the point of his sword and gives the
to carry Not sound
rom the trumpet, no roll OF the
lrum, but in stiffness, as if indeed
he dead were passing there-thus
hey moved.
They then stacked arms, and took
,ff their cartridge boxes and laid
hem on the pile. Lastly, painfully,
hey furled their battle flags and
aid them in the dust, some kneel-
ng over them and kissing them with
burning tears. And then the Star
Spangled Banner waved alone upon
he field.
