A Funny Story BY A Senator.
i'll Arp in the Atlantic Constitution.


I heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured the vote of a backwoods set
Element in North Carolina when he
first ran for Congress. He said he had
never been in that settlement and didn't
know the boys. He rode over the
mountains and found about sixty sover
eigns at crossroads grocery and he
got down and hitched his horse and be-
gan to make their acquaintance and
crack his Jokes around, and thought he
was getting along pretty well with them,
but he noticed an old man with shaggy
eyebrows and big brass spectacles
sitting on chunk and marking in
the sand with stick. The old man
didn't seem to pay and attention to
Vance, and after while Vance con-
cluded that the old man was bellwether
of the flock and that it was necessary
to capture him, SO he sidled up close to
him and the old man got up and shook
himself and leaned forward on his
stick and said solemnly: "This is Mr..
Vance, I believer" Eyes, sir" said
Vance. "And you have come over
here to see my boys about their votes,
I believer" Eyes, SIR" said Vance,
'that is my business.
"Well, sir" said the old man, "afore
you proceed with that business would
like to AK you few questions.
Certainly, sir, certainly" said
Vance.
''What church mout you belong to-"
said the old man.
That was neutrality-suspicious.
didn't belong to any church. He knew
that religion and meeting was a big
thing in the backwoods and controlled
their politics. but he didn't know what
their religion was. for North Carolina
was powerfully spotted. But he squared
himself for the responsibility and says
hel well now, my friend, 1 will tell
you about that, for it is fair question.
Of course it is. Well, you see my
grandfather came from Scotland, and
you know that over in Scotland every
body is Presbyterian" Here he paused
to note the effect, but saw no sign of
sympathy with his grandpa.
"But my grandmother came from
England and over there everybody be-
longs to the Episcopal church" He
paused again and the old man marked
another mark in the sand and spit ills
tobacco away off.
But my father was born in this coun-
try in Methodist settlement, and so he
grew up Methodist" Still no sign of
approval from the old man, and so
Vance took his last shot and said: "But
my good old mother was Baptist, and
it's my opinion that man has got to
go under water to go to heaven"
The old man walked up and taking
him by the hand said: "Well, you are
all right, Mr.. Vance," and then turning
to the crowd said: Boys, he'll do and
you may vote for him, I thought he
looked like Baptist" And the old
man slowly drew flask from his coat
tail and handed it to Vance to seal his
faith.

Demagogery Rebuked.

There was one point in Senator Bayard's
speech of last week that we recommend to the
attention of every Irishman He said:
The demagogue, as have said, is unusually
blatant in this canvass and appeals are made
to the Irish vote" as it is called, by swag-
gerlng, swashbuckler proclamation of insult
and defiance to the Government of Great
Britain. (Applause.) To my mind nothing
more uni ust and insulting could be suggested to
tins class OF our citizens, especially when
the source from which such appeals arise is
considered During all my lifetime the Demo-
cratic party has stood, in regard to the question
of the naturalization of citizens, upon an hon
est and plain constitutional position. We have
avowed that naturalized citizen stood before
the law precisely as one born in this country.
When jealousy that the influx of foreigners
caused led to the formation of prospective
parties and citizens were impeached for their
place of birth or their religious tenets: when
other political parties sought to avail them
selves of such passions and prejudices, the
Democratic party refused to abandon the
rights of any under the Constitution, and in
sisted upon their full and fair recognition.
We asked at all times for the equal rights of
cltlze nshlp; we courted favor from none,
nor do We do it to-day, but we propose
justice and no discrimination. l am as
sensible as any man to the cruelty and in
9ustice of British rule in Ireland aud it
would be unnatural if men of Irish blood
did not feel strong resentment to Great Britain;
but when it Is suggested indeed recommended,
that American citizens by adoption shall be-
come disciples of the dagger and dynamite, I
feel they are insulted, and confidently look to
them to give the answer at the polls. 1 have
felt too strongly the ties of personal friendship
and public confidence for men of Irish birth
and blood, and [ know too we'll their fidelity in
the council chamber and the field to the wei
fare of our country to doubt them. None adj

icy; that our traditions are those of American
government and that no other policy and no
other traditions should influence the course of
this country toward Great Britain or any other
foreign nation.

Whether shoelng is necessary or not remains
to be tested to the satisfaction of the majority
Some believe that shoes cannot be dispensed
with on the cobblestones of the cities, but are
inclined to the opinion that shoes are not alto
gether necessary on soft, sandy, or light,
gravef1y roads. In Chicago gentleman neg
lceted to shoe his horse, and allowed it to work
on the cobble stones At first the feet became
somewhat sore, and the hoofs cracked and
seemed very brittle. In time, however, the
hoofs began to harden in texture, became cal
lous to the hard usage, until now the owner de-
clares he would not use shoes again under
any circumstances. Just here we de-
sire to call attention to the subject
If the feet, by direct contract with the earth,
hoof is changed it may be possible that those
who have attempted to work their horses I'M
shod have become alarmed at what they sup
pose lameness, when a little patience would
have demonstrated the method as feasible.
Any one who Is accustomed to wearing shoes
finds it very inconvenient to walk barefooted
for few days; but after a short time the feet
become insensbleto substances with which they
come in contact and one then easily manages
to walk on the stones, gravel, in the sand water,
or even upon sharp substances without the
least difficulty Thus it may be with horses,
when the shoes are removed. They will find
walking awkward, and the feet may become
sore; but after lapse of time they will be
able to pull over the worst kinds of roads.
So far as our own opinions are concerned, we
have not given the matter test; but the ex-
perience of those who have tried working horses
without shoes cannot be ignored. It will ba
hard to convince most persons that shoelesi
horses are able to endure the hard cobble stones,
but that horses may work upon good country
roads is within the limit of possibility. 1t would
not be a troublesome experiment if farmers
should put the matter to test by leaving the
shoes off one or two for comparison. If we
could work our horses anywhere without shoes
it would be a great saving in the course of
year, not only financially, but from the incon-
veniences so often experienced when horses
are to be shod during busy time.-Field and
Fireside.
