A FUNNY STORY BY A SENATOR.
How Mr.. Vance Sailed Between Denomina-
tiOnal Scylla and Charybdis.

| heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured the vote of a backwoods set
tlement 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
sovereigns at Il crossroads grocery,
and he got down and hitched his horse
and began 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 a chunck
and marking in the sand with a stick.
The old man didn't seem to pay any
attention TO Vance, and after while
Vance concluded that the old man was
bell-wether 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, / believer"
Eyes, sir said Vance, "that is my
business" :"
"Well, SIR" said the old man,
"afore you proceed with that business
l would like to ask you a few ques-
tions."
Certainly, sir, certainly" said
Vance.

that religion and meeting was a big

their politics, but he didn't know what
their religion was, for North Caroline

A Forest Fire.

Black mountain, as it to add to the
pleasure of the guests on Lake George,
has been presenting sight that, for
grandeur and magniiicence, eXcels any
thing in the way of pyrotechnics ever
exhibited at Saratoga or the seashore.
The mountain rises twenty-four hun
dred feet above the lake. Across the
spur called the Elephant, the forests
have been on fire the past week. Broad
sheets of flame spread over the noun
tain slopes, as if some fair leviathan
was waving her red silk handkerchief
to attract attention of Il lover. The
mountain is overrun with various tribes
of small game, animals, birds, and, in
certain places, snakes The fire has
spread across hundreds of acres, and
has created q perfect pandemonium
among them, Startled creatures fill
the air with their cries of peril. They
moan and wall Us if turned from an
old homestead by the cruel elements
without a dollar Of insurance on their
furniture. Larger birds, like hawks
and crows, soar above the seething
mass of burning pine and oak, while
the night air IS filled with dismal hoot-
ings Of huge owls. Occasional roars
of bears join the chorus, furnishing a
sepulchral bass to the grand aggrega-
! tion of discOrdant elements.
While some men were engaged in
combating the fire, they discovered a
huge she-bear trying to stamp out a
large burning log with her paws. Two
cubs followed the, eXasperated animal,

cious beast sooL put a stretch of fire be-
tween herself and the pursuers. Her
victory was but trancient, for n mo-
ment later a huge tree, burned off at
the roots, fell with a crash. knocking
