Fiddles for Firewood.

When Ole Bull, the renowned violin
lst, was staying in Paris in 1910 he re-
turned home late one evening from y
concert. and as the night was cold he or
dered his man to make fire in his
room. The latter dragged toward the
fireplace a huge box, on which the word
'Firewood' was painted in large let
tors. In answer to Ole Bulls astonish-
ed inquiry the servant teld him that
the box had been delivered that day at
noon by his masters orders, as he
thought. On being broken open the
box was found to contain twenty-five
violins and the following letter: "Great
Master: The undersigned, being mem-
bers of various amateur philharmonic
societies, hereby declare that they will
henceforth cease to perform on the ac-
companying instruments. The same
wood from which Ole Bull can draw
life, love, sorrow, passion, and melody,
is only to be regarded as-fuel for the
flames in the hands of the undersigned,
who therefore request the Maestro to
make an auto-da-fe of the Enclosures, and
to look upon the ascending smoke as in
cense offered to his genus by penitent
dabblers in the noble art" This curl
Gus cpistle bore the signatures of TWEEN
ty-two young men. Three days after
ward Ole Bull gave dinner, to which
he invited all the senders of the valua
bic '.firewood." Each guest had lying be
fore him on the table one of the violin.

OCTOBER.

October comes across the hill
Like some light ghost, she is SO still,
Though her sweet checks are rosy;
And through the floating thistle-down
Her trailing, brier-tangled gown
CLEANS like crimson posy.
The crickets in the stubble chime;
Lanterns flash out at milking time;
The daisy IS lost her rutiles;
The wasps the honeyed pippins try
A film is over the blue sky,
A spell the river muff1es.
The golden-rod fades in the sun;
The SPIDERS gauzy veil is spun
Athwart the dropping sedges;
The nuts drop softly from their burrs;
No bird-song the dim silence stirs,-
A blight is on the hedges.
But filed with fair content is she,
AS If no frost could ever be,
To dim her brown eyes luster;
And much she knows of fairy folk
That dance beneath the spreading oak
With tinkling mirth and bluster.
She listens when the dusky ewes
Step softly on the fallen leaves,
AS if for message cheering;
Aud it must be that she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear,
The feet of Christmas nearing.

TICS
February 18th, 1886.

Hon. j. ". Lipscomb.
DEAR SIR: Pardon the liberty |
take in writing to you on personal
matter, yet when looked at from all
sides it is hardly personal. Your
open, manly, courageous advocacy Of
farmers rights has commanded the
admiration Of our farmers over here,
and made us feel q public interest in
you and desire to sec you continued
in high place.
A good many over here have ex-
pressed the hope that you would
throw the weight Of your influence
toward the Farmers Convention,
though Tillman did scratch You q
little over here. He wrote me he re-
gretted having to do it, but could
not help it, to keep from being per-
sonal towards others. lie said you
alone spoke for his resolutions.
The wave, believe, will sweep the
State and we want you to go with, US,
and, unless you do l fear you will get
left. Please, now, don't think me
presumptuous or inclined even to
dictate or advise, where you alone
have a right to choose. My simple
interest in you as our old leader
prompts me to thus write you. You
may, for all I know, have already
crossed the rubicon, but have not seen
it. l feared the pressure around you
among the oficc-holders might keep
YOU from acting till some would say
you were driven into it, though l
know your independent spirit don't
run in that line.
A good many prominent grangers
over l.ere urged me to drop you i
line, so do please don't misconstrue
my motive and take offence, where
we wish to help you and show our
regard. Our county is going solid
for the Farmers Convention.

(Cor. Abbcvi!le Press & Banner, Feb. 25th.)
BIGWATER's REPLY TO SALLY PARKS.
EDITOR PRESS AND BANNER:
AS / was sitting quietly last Friday
night at my house, thinking of our
farm and my old horse Jim who is got
the distemper, my old woman all Of
a sudden says to ne in loud voice,
MIR. Bigwater, who is this here Sal
Parks q writin' to the Press end
Banner about B. R. Tillman.?"
This sortcr took me unbekncwin
like to myself. We'll, old woman"
l says, Il don't know"
You never knows anything what's
goin' On in the world, Mr.. Bigwater,"
says my old woman, 'because you
never read the papers" So she says,
"Mr. Bigwater, I am no scholar with
the pen, but wants You to write to
this here paper for me and tell the
editor that this here Sal Parks and
her old man is mighty smart and cor
rect, but they don't know all about
this Mr.. Tillman. Why says she,
who is this B. r. Tillman ? Yes,
that's what she asks. Her John
could have found more'n he did by
looking a little further"
Now, Mr.. Bigwater," says she,
'dont YOU dispute me when tells
YOU that this here Mr.. Tillman has
dyspepsy. You needn't look at me
and shake your head that way, cause
l know what ! knows" When my
old woman talks like that she means
business and I dassent dispute her
word. So she goes on to say, "lou
knows he is got the dyspepsy as we'll
as me. and if you would read what he
says about the farmer, you would say
as I says too. This dyspepsy makes
him sorter kinder nervous and keeps
him restless like, you know, and mad
with every body, and hisself too. He
has the political jim jams says she,
"brought on by this dyspepsy and
disappointment. l knows how these
things is says she. He keeps on
working up himself till he thinks he
knows more about farming than you,
Mr.. Bigwater, and that General Nc
Gowan. Gov. Thompson, N. c. But
Ter, Wade Hampton and the rest OF
our big farmers is nowhere and don't
know as much about farming as you
do. Who's been and imposed on us
farmers Who had this blamed
priority Of lien law passed 2
When ny old woman said this she
jumped up and tore the paper in two
and she was mighty hot, tell you.
After she had cooled down a little,
she says, Yes, l says, who's done
it? Nobody is imposing on the far
lner but the farmer himself. The
farmers passed this law. Now this
same Tillman, as | says, has the po.
litical jim jams and wants Office and
you know he does, Mr. Bigwater,
and don't you deny it. He thinks
he will fool the farmers by all this
here big blowing, but as long as
lives, lie shan't fool you. Mr.. Big
water. No." says she, "the women
farmers must not let their husbands
be made fools Of, 10 put no man in
Office. The men for political Office
must be men who amt got the dys.
pepsy and they must be men who do
not trY to fool anybody with all this
writing about nothing and q agricul'
