and fifty pounds. Gazing into the
crystal waters of Rock River, it oc
cured to him that he would take /;
bath, so he disrobed himself, laid hi,
clothes upon the ground and plunged
in. He had been sporting with tht
wave|ets for some minutes whom he
heard believing on the shore, and he
looked up to see COW paving the
ground and running her horns in hi,
clothes She had run one horn through
one leg of his pants, and the other horn
through the broad part, and was en-
gagged in chewing his shirt whel the
man struck her on the rump with d
stone, anl she started off with those
two garments to the blind asylum
where she evidently belonged, shaking
her head to get the pants off her horns
chewing the sIiirt as though it was a
barn mash
The pious man rushed out Of the wa

shape and turned away and didn So

thoughts of this Jaynesville business

W 'uld sell well. if it was illustrated
by picture of a native Zulu picking
huchu leaves. The only things
the COW left were his hat and vest and
shoes and stockings He pat them on
and started after the cow. The vest
was one of those grandfa hers clock
vests, that stops short, never to 90
again, a sort of emigrant's vest that
comes high He tried to remember
some of the ten commandments, to re-
peat, but the only enc he could call to
mind was ''Pull down thy vest" His
eyes swept the horizon to see if any
boly was looking, and he could see
that the grounds about the blind asy-
lnm were alive with people of both sex
es.
He thanked heaven that by the in
scrutable ways of providence, people
were made bind, but his joy at the ca
lamity was mingled with much sorrow
when he thought that the teachers at
the asylum were endowed with the
most perfect eyesight. As the COW
neared the gate of the ground he made
one effort to head her OF. but she ran
by him and then he attempted to take
his pistol from the hind pocket Of his
pants 10 kill himself. whe he real
lied again that he was indeed barefoot

upright attitude on account Of ants.
1t is a picnic for nest of ants to par

his or her trousers, as the case may be

boss ia the most pitiful accents that
were ever u,ed by a Jaynesville man.
The cow looked around and as she did
so the pants caught on sappliug and
were p He'd off her horns and dropped
upon the ground. The pious man
looked upon this direct interposition
of Providence, aud he was sorry he
swore. He got into his trowsers so
quick that it made his head swim, and
JUS as the crowd at the asylum had
come down to the gate to see what
strange looking calf was following the
COW home, the man started on run
for town, leaving his shirt with the
COW.

The idity of the Georgia Demo
cracy has long been source of regret
TO the Republican leaders and orgaus,
and they would exult, if party divisions

brought about here Fortunately
whatever contentious have taken place
in the councils of the party In recent
years have been shofF lived. This hsr-
mony can and should be maintained.
There is no issue in the present cam
paign to divide upon. The qaes.ion
before the people is merely the selec-
tiou of a gentleman qualified to fill the
unexpired term of Governor Stephens.
The people are acting quietly and
calmly, and decline to grow excited.
In another week the convention will
assemble, and the claims Of those sub
mtted for its choice will be passed up
on The weight of public sentiment is
in favor of continuing Governor BoNn-
ton. This sentiment is strengthening
daily. The attempt to impeach Mr.
Boyntons Democracy meets with nc
encouragement. 1t is preposterous tC
maintain that man who was loya
enough to his party to be elected Pres
ident of the Senate is not sufficiently
tried to be elected Governor. Why
was not his candidacy for the Presi
dency of the Senate opposed I'm
doabtedly, for the reason that such OPP
position would have been futile.
Mr.. Boyntou may fail of nomination
but it will not beby reason of this as
sault upon bis Democracy. If any
thing, this attack has benefited him
and the sooner those who promote i
abandon it, the better will they serv
their purposes. The people under
stand clearly the object of this attack
and will see that justice is done
Governor Boynton's honesty, capacit
