He Was the Orchestra.

7 He was a worthy priest, and one
Friday he had been giving his con-
gregation a rasping gallop over the
modification and flesh course. Arrived
at home, hungry as a wolf, he rang the
bell for luncheon, and anon the new
servant made her appearance, and
weighed in with a small plate Of bread
and butter and two hard boiled eggs.
"Why, how now, Bridget" inquired
the holy man, lis this a fitting meal to
set before your MASTER"
If you please, sir" said the girl, al

your sermon, and oh 1t was beautiful,

ourselves on a Friday, and"

"And you have observed the guests
figuring on the floor, whilst up above

"Yes, your reverence"

A man was recently brought before a
Yankton Cd. IT, Justice of the Peace
on the charge of assault and battery.
aThe complaint says that you attacked
this man with a Knife and nearly killed
him: how is it?' said the Justice. "Yes,
| stabbed at him q few times; he came
up to my house and began abusing me
and calling me names and" "That's
no reason for assulting him the way
YOU did" "Hold on a minute, Judge;
then he jumped around and said he
could lick me and struck at me"
"Still you had no business to attack
him so savagely; younearly killedhim."
"That's all right, your Honor, Ill ex-
plain; the way he went on to abuse my
wife and began chasing the children
aroundthe yard and" "That will do
YOU had no excuse for attacking him
with a knife; you should have called a
policeman to remove him; / must hold
you for attempt to kill" Just another
word, Judge; after that he walked over
and kicked my dog and" "Hey?-
kicked that liver-colored bird-dog Of
yours?" "Bet he did, Judge; walked
right up to him when he want doin'
nothin' and kicked him right in the
side" "Yes, and Just as like as not
injured him so you can't hunt with him
this season; why didn't you tell me
this atfirst? you did perfectly right in
going at him with a knife, and | dis

Blessed with Patience.

= About four miles out of Birmingham,
Ala, we came across a stretch of road
about four miles long which was a foot
deep with red clay mud. We had to
ride our horses along the edge of it,
and then it was a job to pull through.
On the far side, about fifty feet from
the solid Had-bed, we came upon a
colofed mar with his mule and cart,
the latter loaded with wood and stuck
fast in the mud. The man was seated
at the road side, while the old mule
was chewing away at heap of brush
and grass which had been cast before
him.
"Stuck2 ?" asked one Of the party as
we drew rein.
"Reckon So" was the reply.
"How long have you been here2"
"Since yesterday"
"Why don't you unload and get out?"
"Too much trouble, boss. lie started
fur town, an won't pay TO go BACK
home again."
"But what will you do~
"Wait fur de mud to dry up, sab,
She's bakin' mighty fast under dis hot
sun, an two days more will let me
frew."
Just at evening Of the second day We
saw him come into town with the load
the mule being plastered clear to thu
tips Of his ears. The man recognized
us, and, bowling very low, he said: .

The Sham and the Real.

Every goud thing has its host of imita-
tors; every genuine article its counter
feits. bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but he who shains the
bad never boasts of u, while they who
ape the virtues ofthe good or simulate
tile genu ine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluring tones. When these people
initiate they always choose a pr mounced
type or popular subject to copy from; and
when they claim to he as good as so

and-So,r the public may depend uuon it
that Mr.. "So-and-s and his article are
always the best Of the kind. Thus the

A SECOND DELUGE.
UNPRECEDENTED FLOOD, RESULT.
ING IN IMMENSE DESTRUCTION
OF PROPERTY AND A FATAL
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

This county and section have just
passed through an experience without a
parallel in the history of foods. The rain
set in about 4 o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing aud continued almost without inter
mission until late in the night Wednes-
day-a large portion of the time literally
coming down in torrents. The creeks,
branches, bitches and gullies, have been
OverflOwn as never before witnessed.
The fnll amount of the damage done to
property and crops cannot yet be estima-
ted, but 1t will be very great. 1t is fear
cd that all of the crops along the creeks
and branches are literally swept away.
One of the immediate results was to cut
off all railroad communication, which
was done Tuesday morning by the over
flow of the Bogue Chitto and other
streams aud the washing mp of the rail-
road track. No mail or express train has
passed here since the one going south
Tuesday morning and no freight since
few hours later.
n FATAL
Tuesday night about II o'clock as the
dtching train, in charge of conductor
George Arid, was coming south from the
Yazoo branch, it plunged into a washout
in the track a quarter Of a mile this side
of Montgomery Station, and the engine
and tender and five fiat cars were made
total wreck, and Conductor Arid and
james Bruce, the colOred fireman, ill.,
stantly killed, and Engineer Seaman and
a colorcd switchman ralned Sam Conner
ly dangerously wounded. The engine
was turned nearly bottom side up and
only one man on it escaped unhurt
Conductor Steve Lewis, who was stop
ping over here with the way freight on
account of the overflow of Bogue Chitto,
went up Wednesday morning and brought
the dead and wounded men down, and
they were properly cared for.
A reporter of THE LEADER visited the
scene of the wreck later, and the wonder
is that any one escaped from it alive.
Where the accident occurred, IA large
pond is formed ON the west side of the rail
road track 10y the embankment, and an
escape provided for high water by means
of small 12x12 wooden culrert
which extended through the embank-
ment On this occasion this furnished no
adequate means of escape, and the
pressure of the water forced the culvert
ont and tore through the embankmcnt
making deep gap under the track some
30 or 25 feet wide. This is supposed to
have occurred early in the night, and
when the doomed train lett Montgomery
at slow speed, the rails and crosS-tics,
held together by their fastenings present
ed an unbroken track and did not reveal
the washout beneath to the engineer until
the engine was fairly over the fearful
chasm.
Up to this writing (Wednesday even
ing) nothing has been done TO remove the
wreck, as the wrecking train is cut off ly
the flood on another section of the road.
Communication being cut off, and the
wires down, we are unable 10 learn any
little has been heard as to the damage
done in the country back from the tow n
and railroad 1t is feared that many
casualties will be reported aud great
destruction of crops and property report
cd when the result is fully known.

A Word to Workers.

If your avocations are mentally or
physically laborious, if they subject you
to exposure in inclemcnt weather, if they
coniine you to the desk, and are OF a ma
tire to involve weaI and tear of brain, and
nervous strain, you may occasionally re-
quire some renovating tonic. Hostctter $
Stomach Bttcrs is the article for you, t
stimulates the failing energies, invlgor-
ates the body and cheers the mind. 1t
enables the system to throw off the dcblli-
tating effects of undue fatigue, gives re-
newed vigor to the organs OF digestion,
arouses the liver when inactive, which 1t
very often is with people whose pursuits
are sedcntary, rcnews the jaded appetite,
and encourage healthful repose. Its III
gradients are safe, and its credentials,
which consist in the hearty endorsement
of persons of every class of society, are
most convincing. Admirably is it adapted
to the medical wants of workers.
