Ed. Hayes has been up to Alb. CIRCUITS pull
ing beans They say he can pull more
beans than any man in town, except Alien
Long. The H.OduS OperdHdt is to spread
himself out between the rows, walk right
along and pull two rows at time, without
STOPPING. The only drawback is that he
has to wear a sheep-skin on the seat of his
pants. Ed. is a free-trader and claims the
sheepskin to be little too expensive. and
thinks he could make more money if the
tariff was removed from wool.
Geo. Birkenshaw, the wool-carder went
home the other night, sat down to supper,
and after returning thanks for his manifold
blessings felt something soft and meaty I'M

it to be a massasauga, alive and hearty, 26
inches long, eleven years old last spring and
mad enough to eat George and his family.
He procured mop-handle and applied it to
his snakeship some seventeen times and then
kicked him out of doors. George says he
shook little when he placed his left II

One of the most curious incidents in the
history of African slavery in America is the
life of Charles Stewart, slave owned by the
Johnsons of Virginia, and afterwards by the
Porters of Louisiana, both of them noted is
possessors of remarkable racing horses. He
was born trainer and rider of horses, and
during his long lifetime has ridden the win
ming horse at many of the great races down
South. He could not write, and knew nothing
about figures, but was nevertheless trusted
by his owners with the care and transporta-
ton of their stock, and the custody of bets
and stakes, and he seems always to have
come out right. One of the ladies of the
Porter family recently took down the story
of his life as told by himself, and il will be
given, in his own negro dialect. in the Octo-
Der Horper's, with a portrait of the old hero
of the turf.
