Consider Ne Smith.

There was a very good story in the pa
pers of the day, of a joke which was
played by old DR.. Caldwell, formerly of
the University of North Carolina.
The old doctor was a small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the most
irregular of pine knots.
He looked as if he might be tough, but
he did not seem strong. Nevertheless, he
was, among the knowing ones, Teputed to
be as agile as ga cat;" and In addition, was
by no means deficient in knowledge of the
''noble science of self-defense." Besides,
he was cool as cucumber. Well, in the
freshman class of a certain year was a
burly beef mountaineer of eighteen or
nineteen. This genius conceived a great
contempt for old BOlus' physical dimen-
siOns, and his soul was Mortified that one
so deficient in muscle should he so pOten-
tial in his rule.
Poor Jones-thats what Wen call him
had no idea of moral force. At any
rate he was not inclined to knock under,
and be controlled despotically by man
that he imagined he could tie and whip.
He at length determined to give the gen.
tleman genteel thrashing some night on
the college campus, pretending to mis-
take him for some fellow student.
Shortly after on dark and rainy night,
Jones met the doctor crossing the campus.
Walking up to him abruptly:
"Hello, Smith you rascal-is this you ?'
And with that he struck the old gentle
man a blow on the side of the face that
nearly felled him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squared
himself, and at it they went. Jones'
youth, weight and muscle made him an
"ugly customer" but after an minute or
two the DOCTORS science began TO tell, and
in short time he had knocked his beefy
antagonist down, and was astraddle his
chest, with one hand ON his throat, and
the other dealing vigorous cuffs on the
side of his head.
"Ahl stop! beg pardon, dOctOr!-Dr.
CALDWELL mistake-for heavens sake,
dOctorr groaned Jones, who thought he
was about to be eaten up-''I-I really
thought it was Smith, The doctor replied
with a word and blow alternately:
cit makes no difference; for present
purposes consider me SMITH"
And it is said that Old BOlus Jones
gave pounding, then and there, as pro-
badly prevented his ever making another
mistake as to personal identity, at least
on the college campus.

BERRIEN COUNTY ITEMS.
Some Facts About a Hermit.
Correspondence of the Morning Yeaos

Correspondence of the Morning NeaCs.
ALAPAHA, BERRIEN Co., GA, April H.
1 note marked signs of improvements here
during the past year in the way of new build
ings, new fences, later and better styles of ar
chitecture, etc. During the season there has
been about 1000 bales of cotton shipped from
this place, besides naval stores, wool, hides,
beeswaX, syrup, potatoes, etc.
BERRIEN COUNTY HERMIT.
We have a genuine hermit near here by the
name of simpler" who for the past ten years
or more has inhabited an old tumble-dO
shanty about two miles east of this place. He
paid the village one of his periodical visits
this afternoon. He is a tall, lank man
of apparently about sixty years
Of age, with a struggling grayish
beard. He has a whining tone of voice in
conversation; never wearies Of quoting scrip
ture and talking Of the different saints. His
clothing is SO begrimed with grease, dirt and
SCOT that no human being could possibly tell of
what material the rags and tatters covering
him were originally composed Of. His shoes
are odd ends and scraps of old leather and
cloth sewed together with bear grass, and this,
with huge bag which he carries on one shoul-
der and an axe, completes his outfit. His den
is the most wretched abode Of misery, filth,
rags and poverty that / have ever seen. a
bundle of rags in one corner serves for bed,
and scattered prOmlscuOusly around his camp
are piles of old boots and shoes, scraps of iron,
sardine boxes, oyster cans, gathered to-
gether, and forming a perfect mu-
utterly alone, without the presence of even a
dog or cat to cheer him, this strange genius
spends his time and draws queer pen pictures
of birds, animals, fish, etc. One Of his favor
lite drawings is that of a deer, bounding at
full speed, all of his feet being enc ased in huge
clumsy boots. The oddly Of the hermit's ap-
pearance enables him occasionally to dispose
Of one Of his pictures while he is on a preach
ing tour.
RECKLESS WASTE OF TIMBER

He Turned Free Trader.
~ - ON

Jones-You don't mean to say you have
become a free trader? Why, you are a
manufacturer, and depend for existence
on protection.
SMITH was a manufacturer until a
few weeks ago, when | sold out and
bought newspaper, political organ, in
a neighboring city.
Jones-But free trade will hurt news
papers Just as much as any other bust
ness.
Smith--It won't hurt me. On the con-
trary, free trade would make my fortune.
Jones-How in the world do you figure
that?

Balance of Power in New York.
Nam York Times fReD1

The result in New York will depend upon
the action OF a large body of independent
voters. They cannot be bUlldOzed, cajoled or
suppressed. They win not be satisfied with a
man who is honest now, after having been
dishonest In the past; they want a man
whose record is clear-a man who has not
been the ally of scheming scOundrels. the oppo-
nent of REFORM or the advocate of bad legis-
lation and dangerous policies" So much
for those who hold the balance of power in
New York. No Republican politician who
retains his senses can disregard them.

The men who propose to sail across the
ocean in small boats have generally been
considered foolhardy in the extreme.
These boats are now built in such a man
ner that they can neither capsize nor
sink, and are said to be far safer than an
ocean steamer so far as danger from
drowning is concerned. Such a voyage IS
said to be not especially dangerous, but
is extremely lonesome and tiresOme.
