8OuRfQ Correspondence.
DORROH Y. o.
JOE PRINCE.

A good many of the older mon of this
County will remember "Mike" Thomp-
son, who left here about forty years ago,
and distinguished himseIfas q lawyer, in
Washington, DC.
On n OCCASION, whilo "htike" was
still in his minority, his father sent him
to old Hamburg with a load of cotton.
On his return, and just before reaching
homo, no was hailed by an old gontloman,
who wanted to know what price he had
received for his cotton. ~ didn't sell"
Mike replied, ~ couldn't get in the town
Hamburg was inundated"
What" exclaimed the old man, in as
tonishment, "burnt upI"
Sir" said Mike, "fooded with
water" And then ho went on, cursing
the old man for his ignorance.
cannot attempt to give tho whole of
Miko's essay OH the OCCASION, but lie
made 1t very clear to himself and his
driver, that fools in general, constituted
Il drawback to the progress of human
ity infinitely crater than all other him
ORANGES combined. And l reckon there
are a great many people, ovcn ut this
day, will agree with Mike, as to tho cor
icCtneSS OF MS conclusion.
Education and general progress have
no tendency to diminish the number OF
fools in the world. In fact, of all tho
different kinds of fools, an educated fool
is tho greatest boor. His education.
such as 1t is, gives him brass and self
confidence, n makes him imagine that
no Is really n man Of Sense, while
nothing would be farther from the truth
AZ Tho poet has said:
at isn't all in bringing up,
Lot folks say what thcy viii;
10 sliyor scour n pewter CUP,
1t Will be pewter still"
There lS no other commodity In tho
world that is always presented in such
full stock and in suclf great variety. If
we had an office in each county for tho
enumeration and classification of fools,
the incumbent would find it no sine
cure. There is tho big fool and tho little
fool, the silent fool and tho prating fool,
tho quarreling fool and tho laughing
fool, the pious fool and tho wicked fool
tho illiterato fool and tho educated fool,
and the double and twisted damphool.
AS my friend Bob Bryson would say, /
imagine it must be very grinding to u
man of scnso to be compelled to pass SO
much of his time in the company OF
fools. But "sitch is lifo.
