Hard Fen Boot, Harley 80 Wright.
This bright sunny morning finds your
humble scribe entirely overawod with
surprise. During the week ] Glanced TO
be in company with one Of the cowboys
fiom tho PLAINS ofTexas aud we travelled
conference.-the to the little Yough river,
thence along the banks TO Confluence,
Pa, and after shooting a loon. a largo
land turtle and visiting the dsrkoys'
campm Getting we started for Markloys-
burgh very much elated ovor seeing the
in which tho colorod folks cons
duct their services. II there is any relig-
ion in loud shouting and making q loud
noise We have great reason to believe that
there il a vast amount Of il among the
colored people,
On our way Ia Markloysburgb We
Glanced to come ACROSS u much cstoem-
ed old friend, o. Nj. na,fold, who was
amusing himself by looking at tho track
ui q huge animal which my cowboy and
l mistook to be one Of The species Of tie
snail tribe, but aG,er questioning Mr..
Hatfield about tho mator, he looked ser
iously amazed and wanted to know if we
were really in earnest about tho matter
as to not knowing what the filthy thing
really was. W. answered in the negative
stating that we never saw one.
He instantly exclaimed that this ami
NAL was the greatest post Of modern times
and he knew that We had at least one OF
them in our own county, because he had
often seen it's filthy track i'm the columns
of the Journal. He stated that they wero
chiefly found about printing offices and
that they wero called educated Ramblors
but they really are not educated al all.
He stated that this filthy track which
they made on paper was the effect Of
brainlesg instinct which very few are
capable of interpi citing. Alter stateing
this he threw away his cigar and tool out
a viol Of colOgue and threw its contents
about US saying: "ba composed, boys,
one OF these animals is coming in sight
and there is no danger. That colo nc has
4 tendency To- drive it away and to Kill
the scent OF its breath. L think it will
turn to the left there and prey on the car
cass Of Ina, lead mule which uncle rode
TO death last week."
Sure enough, there it came, aud TO our
great astonishment, we saw the names of
several distinguished orators carved upon
its sides and among them in bold letters
was the name OF Jimmy Squibs" which
so completely dumfounded us that veal
dispersed saying that it was the very
identical varmen that so often dis
tguished itself in the columns OF the
Journal.
