THE PRIVILEGE OF LoYALTY.-When
Butler was in command of New Orleans he
made, it will be remembered, many arrests
for all sorts of reasons.
One eccentric old gentleman who had
been excessively indiscreet in his COM
ments upon the current events, and who
had been repeatedly but Intellectually warn.
before the cock-eyed man Of destiny. 1t
was shortly after the news of General Lees
victory at Fredericksburg had reached New
Orleans, and the rebels were very jubilant
over it.
'sYou have been expressing yourself in a
very dislOyal fashion, / understand, sir, -
said B. F., with an unusually sour twist OF
his business eye, talking very outrageous
ly and in style calculated to produce mis-
chief"
The old gentleman protested that he had
said nothing particularly bad, and suggest
ed that the irate general had been misin-
formed. But it was to no purpose. Butler
waxed more and more indignant, and de-
clared he would send him to Ship Island.
After much discussion, however, the SEN
tence was revoked upon the old gentleman's IS
consenting to take the oath, which he was
very loathe to do. The oath was admins
tered in due form.
"Well General" queried the old gentle
man, after he had been sworn, "Pm 10y
al man now amt I?"
"Certainiy you are," said the general.
"After this oath I'm as loyal in the eyes
of the Goverement as you or any one else"'
"Urquestionably." ,
"And as such I am now at liberty to
talk"
"Of conrse; there can be no doubt OF
that"
"Well, then, General, confdentially and
to go no further, didn't old Bob Lee give us
h-U at Fredericksburg the other day?'

A CURRANT ITEM.-A gentleman hav-
ing missed lot of new potatoes from his
garden, suspected that an old negro had
dug them up, and determined to watch for
the culprit. So one evening, loading an
old rifle with ripe currants and a blank
cartridge, he stationed himself in d clump
of bushes, whence he could have full view
of the potato bed. About 10 o'clock a fig
ure stealthily approached and began quiet
ly to dig up the potatoes. AS soon as the
bag was full, the owner took aim and fired
the charge of currants at the thief's head.
Hearing the report and feeling the currant
Juice trickling down his face, the culprit
screamed out "Help! Help! I'se done kill
ed; oh somebody come and help me fore
die" He then began to groan and final
ly fell to the ground. The gentleman see
ing the distress his shot had Occasioned,
dropped his gun and walked to the old man,
whom he found almost demented from
fright.
"Trubble? Vas, vas, yed call it trubble
eff We had grut hole in you head, and a
pint of blood coming out"
"But, 10, what are you doing with that
bag of potatoes ?"
HPears like yer taters grow too thick, so
I thought I'd jest thin em out fur We in de
cool oh de ebening and dis yers what l done
got fort I shall die fore mawnin."
II fancy it's only a scratch I'll bind it
up and take you home"
So wiping the old mans face he bound it
up and took him home. There were no
more depredatiors committed, and to this
day old 10 thinks his benefactor performed
wonderful surgical operation.

A FRICHTFUL CASE
OF A coLoRED MAN.

1 contracted a fearful case of blood poison in
1883. I was treated by some of the best physi-
clans in Atlanta. They used the old remedies
Of Mercury and Potash, which brought on rheu-
matism and impaired my digestive organs. Ev-
cry joint in me was swelled and full of pain. l
was in horrible condition. When had been
given up to die, my physicians, who had seen
the workings of the medicine in other cases,
thought it would be splendid time to test the
virtues of Swift's Specific. When commenced
taking s. S. S. the physician said could not live
two weeks under the ordinary treatment He
commenced to give me the medicine strictly ac-
cording to directions, which continued for sew
eral months. Itook nothing else, and commenc-
ed to improve from the first Occasionally l
would have backset from imprudence. Soon
the rheumatism left me. my appetite became all
right, and the ulcers, which the doctor said were
the most frightful he had ever seen, began to
heal and by the 1st of October, 1884, was well
man again. I am stronger now than ever was
before and weigh more. 1 have not failed to re-
port for duty since that time, being engaged IN
the oil warehouse of Chess-Carley Company. i
have been and still am doing some OF the hard
est work man ever did, and am ready to answer
any question that may be asked concerning this
case Swift's Specific has saved me from an ear
ly grave. LEM McCLENDON.

Bas@ An old warrior lying at the point of
death, said to the missionary who stood at
his side, ooh! have been in great trouble
this morning; but am happy now. I saw
an immense mountain, with precipitous
sides, up which endeavored to climb but
when l had attained considerable height,
l lost my hold and fell to the bottom. EX-
hausted with perplexity and fatigue, went
to distance and sat down to weep, and
while weeping l saw drop of blood fall
upon the mountain, and in a moment it
was dissolved" "ThiS was certainly a
strange sight," remarked the missionary.
"What construction did you put upon it?'
The dying chieftain seemed astonished at
the missionary's question, and replied,
"That mountain was my sin, and the drop
of blood which fell upon it was one drop of
the precious blood of Jesus, by which the
mountain of my guilt was melted away"
