A BONANZA.

The Snap Enjoyed by the Gentleman Whs
Has Presentiments.
The man who has presentiments lives
in a town on the Cumberland River.
His presentiments take in nothing but
steamboats,. A while ago, as several
merchants in his town We're anNiously
awaiting the arrival of the Black War
nor with freight, Mr.. Green Went around
among them and observed that their
looked-for dry goods and groceries were
under water to stay. He had had pre-
sentiment that the Warrior had gone to
the bottom. Lots of people laughed at
him and advised him TO put his head to
soak, but his hour of triumph was not
far away. Next day it was known that
the steamer had struck snsg and gone
down.
Soon after that episode. while the
Princess was taking on freight at the
landing, Mr.. Green ambled down the
hill and paid particular attention to the
mate singing out:
Hi, there. YOU niggers! Roll that
cotton. Down this way, Up that side!
jog along. Junius! Rush things, Ru-
fus, Lively all, cause We expect the
biler to bust!'
How did you get on TO thatP' in.
quired MIR. Green. and when the mate
drove him off with threats 10 tie his legs
in hard knot. the ''presentlmenter'
turned and added:
Them ere bilers will bust Just as you
pnpl and ,pl, f.,pr nf
you will escape DEATH"
1t is needless to add that the perform
ance came off exactly as advertised
When Raccoon Bend was reached the
boilers exploded, the Princess was
blown to fragments, and the four COL
ored gentlemen. who were blown ashore,
had nothing to say.
Mr.. Green's latest prescntiment was
in regard to the freight boat General
Morgan. She was a very good boat,
and her Captain was a perfect gentle.
man. and Mr.. Green ought to feel
ashamed of himself for the way he
acted. He went to bed one nigh: and
invited presentiment to share his
couch. One soon come along and
Jumped in between the sheets, and
whispered to him that the General Nor.
gan would be destroyed by fire within
ten days.
Next day Mr.. Green went aboard OF
the fated steamer and told his story, and
somebody hit him in the back with =
head of cabbage. The Captain laughed
at him, the mate ached to plant Ont
under his ear. and the colored gentle
men who handled frei ght laughed him tc
scorn. The General Morgan went or
her way. but inside of seven days Wa:
burned to the waters edge and her crew
of scoffers thrown out of job just a
wages had increased Since that day
Mr. Green's reputation as a presenti'
mentist has ranked Al. Nobody scotii
at him now. People no longer wink a
each other as he passes up and down
On the contrary he is treated with marked
respect by all, and when a certain red
headed boy steps into grocery ant
leaves an order for goods to be charge'
TO Mr.. Green. the grocer replies:
"All right, me boy. Anything else
Noh Well let me give you some candy
and here's some extra plug tobacco TO
your father. Tell your mother my wifi,
will be over to call on her tomorrow.
