$500 Rewsrd-an April fool.

Last night, yesterday morning about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, before breakfast, one week the other day, there was an uncom. mon old man, looked to be about 60 1-4 years of age; he was dressed in fahtastical style, generally wore a three.cornered, sQuare-toed plug hat, and lis suit was made on the the doubie.back action, stem-wind ing. cablc.serewcd style; he has tin cars and a gutta-percha nose, and he generally walked ntl.heo hoglin on his gptta-percha nose, tin ear, or feet; he wore Q small No 2S 3-4 large broad, high-crown- ed seal skin boots, made of Span ish leather; he had a small bundle across his shoulder, looked to be very empty, containing nothing ex- cept a few chicken teeth, cat horns , ocean steamers, wheelbarrow seed and post holes; he looked at once born of a woman, and so l have been told he once was an infant, but I gnoss age made him old; his face was the saddest that ever WAS seen, tor if ever it was washed, it looked rarely clean and he showed most of his teeth when he happen ed to grin, and his mouth stood across ways botvixt his nose and his chin; bis tongue generally nov ed, as he talked, and he stirred both his legs as he walked; his gait was so odd, if you had seen him yon'd burst, for one leg or the oth. CT would always be first, and if anyone will fnd him ant bring him to my station, l will pay them the above reward in rabbit feet, coon skins and possum hides.

Boston Educated Coachman.

Mrs. Berrett took me driving and
| ssw Boston for the first time under
pleasant circumstances. We were
in an open carriage, | ventured to
ask soon after we started one ques-
ton of the coachman. From that
time on, in a perfect, well-bred man
ner, he took me in hand, He told
me so much of the stones and mar
BILE used in the buildings, where
they come from, how they stood the
weather, &c, that | said to myself
this must be retired professor of
geology.
Then he quietly launched me into
architecture, and explained the
deficiencies of what seemed to me
the absolute perfection of Philip
Books's church. The original plan
of the tower had never been carried
out, because, being built on made
ground, it was considered dangerous
to raise it to the height of the first
dimensions.
But even after he had lamented
its impertections | dared TO think
that its en- trance, It's exquisite clois-
ter. its tout ensemble, were almost
faultless. In the same manner he
went into the details about the beau
tiful churches about that neighbor-
hood. He was equally well up In
horticulture, and gave me the bOtan-
ical name of the Japenese ivy which
follows the very outline Of whatever
it covers by clinging with Its i've
fingers so closely to the sail.
In the Public Garden | was the
recipient of more information about
plants and flowers, and light was let
into me regarding the statuary. The
marble effigy of one of the distin-
guished men was pronounced so
bad that it was unfit to lift Its head
within the gates Of the park. After
this dissertation on art he entered
into an account of whether it was
right 10 erect a statue TO the Inven-
tor of the use OF ether when, without
a question, the credit was due to
another man, who was still mus
ing" l spare you a further account
of other subjects that he aired. L
stepped out of the carriage still un-
certain what collegiate chair he had
vacated to mount the coachman' 5
box.-From a Letter By Hrs Gen.
Custer.

Bob Toombs and Ben Wade.

Speaking Of Toombs reminds me
of the number of quarrels he had IN
the Senate with Ben Wade, and at
one time especially, when he came
very near having duel. The Home
stead bill was under discussion and
Toombs had referred to it with a
sneer as a measure for white pau
pers, when Wade arose and said: I:
"Sir, you sneer at the Homestead
bill because it gives land to the
landless, do you? What is your pet
scheme? Buying Cuba, seizing ne
groes for the negroless We will go
to the country upon i" Shortly af-
ter this Wade made a speech in
which he used language which al
most, apparently compelled Toombs
to challenge him. Several friends
of Wade went to him and begged
him to desist, but the old man went
on until Toombs announced his in-
tention of bringing him to account.
Upon this Wade quietly sat down,
and the Southern men looked at
each other in surprise, as it was evil
dent he had tried to provoke quar-
rel with the Georgia fre-eater. That
night friend of Toombs, Senator
of the United States, called upon
Wade to know if he would retract
the offensive words he had used.
"NO, | won't take back word, y
was Wade's emphatic response.
Then" said the friend of Mr..
Toombs, senator Toombs viii chal-
lenge you to mortal combat"
That is Just what | want, and he
might have got TO this point without
all this palaver.n
''You cannot be in earnest. Mr..
Wade" said the Senator.
"Yes, l am, and for reason. We
Northerpers do not want 20 fight. l
am opposed to the code. and so are
my constituents, but You fellows
broke Summers head and if We don't
spunk up little you will break our
heads. The shortest way to end the
matter is to kill off few of you. |
have picked out Toomos as my
man. He will have TO challenge me,
then, of course, | will have the choice
of weapons, and l will take down
my old rifle, and-me if | don't
bring him down at the first crack !"
This conversation was reported 10
Toombs, and he replied: Il can't
challenge him; if / DO he viii kill
me-" He then told his Senatorial
friends that he and Wade had been
out together shooting withriffes sew
eral times, and that while he
CToombs) could shoot well with
pistol, he was a poor rifle shot.
Wade was an old hunter, and could
snuffa candle at 100 yards. Wade,
in speaking of this afterward said:
IF old Toombs had challenged me
that time, as | expected he would, |
would have made him put patch
on his coat the size of dollar over
his heart, and the old fellow would
have go. demoralized when he saw
me drawing a bead on it, and
me if | wouldn't nave cut the patch.
