The chestnut gong proves TO be a
chestnut itself, according to the Buffalo
Commercial, which says that over
twenty years ago, in a well known beer
saloon, hung, well J alanced, big
knife. To the point was attached a
hell, and to the handle a cord. When
the boys became too argumentative the
proprietor would solemnly pull the
cord, the bell would ring and the
knife choppng up and down cut short
the remarks of the disputants.

A HOme.sIade PiIIOry.
HOY TO Keen on Cannihals.

Sometimes good case Is ruined by proving
too much. This was illustrated the other
day in Chicago.
At naseting of ministers the Rev. Mr..
Ayres read a long paper, in which he argued
that the coming Christian would not use
tobacco. He made many strong points, and
impressed his audience. Unfortunately he
said in conclusion that even cannibals had
sense enough not to eat tobacconized flesh.
They never devoured smokers and chewers.
When this climax was reached a smile
rippled Over the upturned faces of the min
isters Finally one of the brethren took the
matter up. He said that be had been in
doubt until he heard the story about the
cannibalS If IL was mans duty in times
OF peace TO prepare for war, it was just
much his duty 20 guarI himself against can
nibals The exigencies of missionary work
or business might at any time require M IN
TO visit Africa or Patagonia. He would run
the risk of falling in with cannibalS If the
tobacco ha.it would save him from being
saten, it IAight also save his life. Perhaps
the savaeAJ would not think it worth while
to Kill a man who was worthless as an arti-
Gle of lood. AS a natter of precaution,
therefore, he thought it would be wise to
stick to tobacco
The meeting broke up in hilarious dis

Matrimonial PhiIo.ophv.


We have had some birthdays recently, for
Mrs. Arp and l are both June bugs. That
is TO say, am a bug and she is a butterfly,
/ reckon l won't call her a bug, though
she does June around sometimes when things
90 wrong She had a birthday last week,
and I would tell how old she is If l was sure
she would never be- a widow. She thinks l
would marry again at the drop of hat, but
declares she wouldn't, and says something
about burned child dreading the fire. But
she doesn't mean that, l know, and the hon
est reason is that she i afraid she could
never fId ano her man like me 1t would
take her = long time TO train another Teller
and get him up TO my standard Of uxorial
docility. A young man viii train, but one
over 30 won't train worth a cent, and that is
why it is so dangerous for a girl OF ambition
TO marry an old man or a widower. The
training is on the other side then. and she
had just - well surrender to tie inevitable
We had the birthday, and gathered all the
children but one There were nine OF them
here, and some grand children and some
friends. and we had good time. 1 saluted
Mrs Arp on her cheek soon in the morning.
She always turns her cheek to me now, but
didn't use to, by no means We had music,
and played cards. and went a-hshing, and
sat spring chickens and huckleberry pie, and
talked, and the boys said smart things and
told Of exploits and escapes, and their
mother and sisters thought they were the
snnartest boys in the world. If a boy
snsezes hIs mother thinks it smart Mrs
Arp thinks her boys are an improvement
On the old man, but my ambition is for girls
TO be as smart as their mother. There is no
room for Improvement IN that line Not
long ago l went of and was gone month.
When 1 came back had a warm welcome,
and everything was calm and serene. l

ity, and then 90 of, some of them to pub
llsh all manner of ISLANDERS about him, !
and genial and charming in his converse
ton with his friends. He is equally at
home in the fields of literature, science,
the arts, politics, or military matters, and
seems delighted to talk of his earlier life
and men and things of the olden time He is
interested in all around him, and seems
happy in the companiOnship of his family
and the society of his friends. But he loves
to talk of ''the COnfederacy''-its origin,
its progress, its measures, its heroic strug-
gle, its sad fall when at last compelled to
yield to overwhelming numbers and re-
sources"
His eyes kindle as in eloquent phrase he
speaks of Sidney Johnson, Lee, Jackson,
and others of our chivalric leaders, and OF
the ragged, barefoOted heroes who followed
them to IAN immortality of glory"
But his voice rings like trumpet and
his eyes flash with their old fire, as he in
dignantly defends the COnfederacy from the
ISLANDERS of its enemies, or the taunts OF
those once its friends, but who now
Bend the pregnant hinges of the knee
That thrift may follow fawning."
He is willing to stand by the record which
the COnfederacy made, and believes with
all his heart that while we should accept
the logical results Of the war We should
teach our children, and our children'S chill
dren, that their fathers were not Rebels
and Traitors" who escaped hanging by
the clemency of the United States Govern
ment, but as true patriots rs the world ever
saw, who were standing for the rights OF
sovereign States, and defending their
homes, firesides, and affairs against inva-
sion.
He believes that impartial history will
write of the COnfederacy in the spirit of the
great English scholar and poet:
NO nation rose so white and fair,
Or fell 30 pure OF crimes
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis both speak very
warmly of Richmond and their many kind
friends there, and while they cannot prom
ise so long ahead / have strong hopes that
he may be able to accept the invitation |
bore him from Governor Lee next October
The family were very much touched by the
grand ovation extended him ut Montgomery
Atlanta, Savannah, etc, last spring, but II
he will show him at 1.-THE Capital Of the
Coniederacy' that he has never lost his
place in the hearts of his loving people.
But this letter is already too long, and |
