WiIIKearbY Run?

Justice John f. linn, candidate for
reelection on the Dark-Lantern ticket,
in conversation with Mail reporter
yesterday, gave it as his opinion that
Jerome G. Nearby, Notwithstanding
his recent declining TO make the race,
would yet be a candidate for congress.
Mr.. linn would not state upon what
he based his statement, but said that
he had picked up points enough to
warrant the belief that Kearby would
be run by his friends, whether or no.
Should this be done Kearby will have
good cause after the election to ex-
claim: Save me frori my friends.-

Echoes of the Past.

A HERALD reporter had the pleasure
this morning of looking through a
war copy Of the Mobile (Alabama)
Weekly Register and Advertiser 1t
was brought to the city few days
ago from Alabama by Mrs. Capt. B. M.
Melton, who had been spending the
summer with relatives there. One item
the reporter copies as follows, YER
batim:
"rexas. - Companies are pouring
into Galveston from all parts Of the
State. Judging from the numbers
said to have already arrived, and those
now on their way from the interior,
there must be several thousand armed
men now about the Island City.
"There was Il slight frost in the
ncighborhood of Dallas on the 10th
aud Goth ultimo.
"The Dallas Herald Of the 9th an
nounces the following: Mrs. Price, son
and daughter of Ex-Governor, now
General Price, the hero of the late
battle at Lexington, Mo-, arrived at our
town last Saturday, en- route for Lock-
hart. The incidents of her escape
from the IIessisns are highly interest
ing, having fled in disguise under an
assumed name, and often rcsorting
to unheard-of means to prevent
capture. Her husband was
absent when she left, and Der own life
in danger from the thousands of vii
lains that now beset the thoroughfares
of that unhappy State. She is accom-
panied by her accomplished daughter,
one son and several servants"
The date of this paper is October 26,
1861, and it is consequently nearly
twenty-five years old. What mighty
changes have taken place in those
twenty-five years. A young nation
born of the angry passions ofsectional
hatred on the one side and of the God
given right and love of liberty on the
other: rocked in the cradle of terri
iic war; has been laid in its grave in
the bloody ccrements OF. a hundred
battles by the triumph of that same
sectional hatred, so fierce then, so re-
lentless yet.

A Family Man.

One of the party had just read a
newspaper paragraph concerning the
proliiicness of Georgia family, when
old General Madlicld said;
YES, twenty-one children are surely
enough for any one family, that Is, if
the father and mother are not very
fond of children. | have known of
families, however, where you might
take twenty-one out of the flock and
then some one, looking at the rest
would say, my gracious, lneyer saw the
like of children.
Some time ago | travelled on horse
back through the northwestern part of
the state One day | fell in with a
rather companionablo old fellow who
logged along on pony. AT night. on
one occasion, we stopped at Il house
and requested accommodation for the
night. The owner OF the place, n
newly married young fellow, treated
us with much courtesy, and the next
morning when we proposed to settle,
he would not accept II cent. While we
were standing at the gate, my compan-
ion, addressing our host, said:
III sccnlS W illc tuib Ha'O oSSh
YOU before"
''Is it possible that you don't know
me?'
Il know your face, but | cannot re-
call your name
wy, I'm your son Bill, the one that
married last week.
"W'y, how are YOU Bill shake, old
fellow. | knew that one of my boys
rot married, but I'll be dngcd Of /
did't forget which one.
"'Ann's married too
"'Ann who?'
".W'y, sister Ann married yestcr-
day
Your sister Ann! Oh, yes, he ex-
claimed, with suddenly recollection, the
one with long. light har with one eye
q little out of plumb.
- oh, no, you are thinking about
Jane
d" That's a fact, have got them
mixed. Let me see, Bill, what was
your mothers namcP
Emily; was old Archie Smiths
daughter"
".Ah, hah. but do you remember
which one of my wives she was"
" The fourth one, have heard her
say.
- Yes, so she was. My stars, how
time does fly! A family grows up
around man before he can scarcely
realize it.
" How many times have you been
married?' l asked. as we rode along.
"He took out greasy old account
book. turned to page covered with
figures, and said: Ten times. Haven't
had the best of luck with my wives.
How many children have you!
He scratched his head, in an en-
barrassed way, and replied: Now
you've got me. Bill, back yondcr, is
putty good at figures but | never could

local fishermen did not object because their supply OF
