Kind Hearted Southerner.

"A
New York Sun
Speaking of Mr.. Davis receptions il
the south, Judge Harris, of Vir
ginia, tells story which shows how en-
thusiasm may triumph over adverse
fact.
Old Jonathan Peale lived on his farm
about six miles from Harrisburg, Va,
during the war, and rode into town twice
week on his old white horse to hear
the news and comment on it after his
fashion, which was abominably through
his nose. He was one of those thorough
southerners in whose head there never
was room for doubt. He had such a
steadfast confidence that the south would
whip the north, and Was doing so daily,
that nobody ever ventured to hint the
contrary to him. He would stride into
the office of the weekly newspaper
on his semi-weekly visits, throw
himself down in chair, and inquire:
"Well, editor what is the news?'
ooh, Gen. Lee has had another bat
tie with the enemy" the accommodating
editor would reply, "and drove them OH
in confusion"
81 knew he would do it. I knew he
would scatter 'em," the old man would
respond, with much nasal enthusiasm,
and trot back home to tell the family
how the war was going on.
But at length there came time when
such pleasing fctions would no longer
do. It came to be the second week of
april, 1S65-the week of Aepomattox.
When Uncle Jonathan came in with his
usual inquiry he found an earnest group
of men in the newspaper Office.
"The news is very bad, Mr.. Peale.
very bad" the editor acknowledged. with
considerable hesitation, for he couldn't
see how he was going to get the old gen
tleman down to the level of facts without
something breaking.
"What's wrongT' inquired Mr.. Peale.
"Well," said the editor, desperately,
everything is wrong. Gen. Lee has
surrendered"
"It's - ab'lishum lier' snorted
Uncle Jonathan, his nostrils fairly ring
ing with confidence.
mo, Uncle, I'm afraid it's too true.
Here we have Gen. Lees address to his
troops advising them to go home. Jim
Dalton got there this morning with bis
horse and gun, and says our infantry
boys will be along about tomorrow"
The old man looked piteously from
one to another as though beseeching
them to contradict the overwhelming
tidings. Nobody spoke. Then he took
up Gen. Lees address and read it care
fully through twice. He laid it down
with mighty sigh, and taking up his
hat to 60 he said:
'::Well. mebbe Gen'rl Lee knows best.
Mebbe it's best to give 'em another try. 1t
doesn't do fer christians to be hard and
unforgiven. But if the derned Yankees
don't behave we'll just have to turn in
and wallop 'em again."
And SO philosophically accepting the
results of the war Uncle Jonathan trot-
ted off home in infinite content at having
participated in Gen. Lees generosity.

TO SEE THEIR Ma MES IN PRINT.

The Devices and subterfuges Some People
Resort to, to Crafty their Vanity.
Few people have better opportunities
for seeing the little weakness and vanities
of man than reporters. "Tis pleasant
sure to see ones name in print wrote
Byron years ago, and he wrote truly.
The articles that men will resort to in
order to get their names in the paper,
and their simulated indignation when
that object has been accomplished, are
amusing. There are, of course, a great
many people who sincerely desire to keep
their names out Of print, unless there is
some good reason for publicity. These
people never object to the use Of their
names if there is proper reason for it,
but shrink from being dragged into
print Unfortunately, and their wishes
are always respected by the respectable
reporter. But a large class take keen
enjoyment in picking up newspaper
and remarking to friends, "well, if that
reporter hasn't gone and put my name
in the paper. That's just the way; you
treat one of those fellows decent and he
goes and puts your name in the paper.
There ought to be a law passed against
those fellows" All the time the speak
er knows how he schemed and plotted
the previous evening to get the reporter
to mention him, and he knows that the
reporter had good-naturedly gratifed
his vanity.
One of the most common tricks of these
people is this: A reporter attends some
little meeting and at the close of it some
one who has been more or generally
less-important in the assembly, comes
round and says: SNOW don't put my
name in the paper but If You do. be
sure and spell it correctly. Here, I viii
write it down for you, S-m-y-th-e.
Smythe with y and an 9. Now for
heavens sake do not publish it" Now,

The old rounder, casting meditative
glance toward where the sun had gone

little experience OF my own once.
went down on the Chattahoochee river
in Decatur county, to visit an old friend
He had often told me of the splendid
fishing there, and I was anxious to try
it. It was late in the evening when !
got there, and I retired early, so as to be
ready for the fun the next day. I asked
how far it was to the creek, and they
told me it was now only few hundred
yards. I was up, and securing good
tackle and few sawyers, started off to
find the creek. The fog was So heavy
for it was woods burning time, that I
could not see any distance ahead of me,
and so I CROPPED my way as best I could
across the little clearing. Reaching the
fence climbed over, and picking up my
way carefully, for I did not want to fall
in the creek, proceeded down the slope
until L thought I must be near the
waters edge. Batting my hook I threw
it forward, and just about time enough
to strike the water I felt a pull, and with
a jerk brought in fine fellow. For ten
minutes I stood there and pulled them
il, and then, fearing that would spoil
one days sport, I regretfully retired,
and by accident reached the house
through the fog. After breakfast the
fog lifted and we got ready for days
enjoyment. You may imagine my sur
prise when on going to the place where
I had caught so many early in the
morning, found that it was full hun
bred yards from the bank of the creek.
The truth is, I had not touched the
water, but just stood there and caught
them out of the fog"

would like to look at them. The total
income of the city's physicians is not less
than $5,OOO,OOO. There were 22,656
births in the city last year. These luxu-
ries cost the recipients at least half a
million. Here is where class shows itself.
I count 5000 of these advents at 500
each, and $4,000 in extras, and that is
handsome presents to the doctors and

5000 more of these presentments at $50
each, half the remainder at $25, and the
other half at $40, and the million is
quickly summed up. Then take the co.

AS several farmers OF the county
have made inquiry in regard to the
cattle law passed by the last Legis-
lature, we will briefly state the pro.
visions of Chap. XIV, Acts of IS.
So: All kinds of cattle are prohibit
ed from running at large; any prop
erty they destroy, the owner of the
cattle is liable for the same; cattle
running at large and getting into
other peoples premises may be tax
en- up and held for damages. The
act does not so into force until car.
ried before an election. Upon the
petition of fifty voters of any dis.
trict in the county, the court will or
der the question to be put to vote
in that district at general or school
election. Written or printed ballots
will have the words For stock
law Against stock law" on them
If majority of the votes cast be
For stock law the act will be in
force in that district from the date
of that election.
