Calling on the Governor.

j. M. ID. Kelley, Clerk, and jim
Hewitt, Sheriff, of Carroll county
came to Atlanta and determined to
call on Gov. Stephens. Before doing
so, they took a shave, had their hair
trimmed, and dyked up in new suits
The hall door of the mansion was
open, and the visitors, noticing two
men at the other end of the hall
walked in. As they passed the thres-
hold they bowed and touched their
hats gracefully. The men at the
lower end Of the hall did the same.
"They motioned to us to go in this
parlor," said Kelly, turning to the
right and walking in. After sitting
there awhile, Hewitt said:
care you sure that fellow told us to
come in here ?"
"Yes," said Kelly. "But I'll go
ask him again"
AS Kelly walked out of the parlor
door he saw man walk out of door
on the same side, at the other end of
the hall.
"Did you say go in there ?" Kelly
asked, beckoning back into the parlor
Instantly the man at the other end
beckoned back to the parlor, and Kel-
ly re-entered it.
"He says right in here, Jim. l saw
him again"
Another long wait. At last both
visitors got uneasy, and determined to
try it again. AS they walked out into
the hall, two men entered it again
from the same side, lower down.
Hewitt and Kelly again motioned
toward the parlor. Both the strange
men pointed to the parlor. They
started back, when Kelly stopped sud
denly, gazed intently at the two men
and then shook his head. The bald
headed man down the hall did the
same thing. He then lifted his leg,
and the bald-headed man below did
the same thing.
"Look here, jim" said he, "I'll be
swamped if we amt been talking to
ourselves all the time. That end of
the house is a looking-glass."
And that's just what it was.-At-
lanta Constitution.

a small club, acted as starter. Just
before the start he stood upon cheese
box, with a small lunch counter before
him, and shook his stick at the entries
to keep them down. The contestants
first socked it to Landlice Hochz it.,
by Goldsmark, Op. 22. They got off
nearly even, one of the sorrel fiddles
gentle leading. The man with the
French horn tried to call them back,
but they settled down to a sogging
gait, with the big roam fiddle bringing
up the rear. At the first quarter the
little blank whistle broke badly and
went into the air, but the fiddles left
kept well together and struck up a
rafting gait. AT the half pole the
man with the straight horn showed
signs of fatigue. There was a bob
tailed flute which rested sadly with
the sorrel bugle at the half-mile, but
he was windbroken and wheezed
The galoot with the big fat bugle kept
calling whoa all the time, but he
seemed to keep up with the rest until
the end of the race. They all came
under the string in good order, but
the judge on the cheese box seemed
to reserve his opinion. He seemed
tired and the contestants went out to
find the bottle-holders, and get ready
for the Beethoven handicap. 1t was a
nice exhibition, but little tiresome
to the observers. All bets are off,

Making "Sport' Of a Concert.

The musical critic of one of the New
York papers, having been compelled
to leave town suddenly on the eve Of
a concert by the Philharmonic socie-
ty, a confrere on the sporting depart
ment kindly volunteered to take his
place for the evening. His work,
whatever his shortcomings in an artis-
tic sense, certainly lacked nothing in
originality, and we commend his style
to some of the musical critics. Hear
him: "Time was called exactly at
eight o'clock, and about fifty bugles,
fifes and fiddles entered for the con-
test. The fddles won the toss, and
took the inside with the chandeliers
right in their eyes. The umpire, with

A Philadelphian was sitting in O
mining brokers' office, in Virginis
City, one day last fall, when n stran
ger entered and showed him a pound
hunk Of silver ore which was at least
80 per cent. pure stuff.
"Found that on one of my hills,
he said, as he drew up chair and sat
down.
The ears of the man from the
Quaker City began to work, and his
heart to thump. The native looked
green, and perhaps didn't know the
value of that hill.
"What you got?" asked the broker,
as he came from behind his desk.
