One of our freight engineers was a man
named George Roby. He came on to our
road from some line in New England, and
gave good satisfaction for about three
months. Then whisky got the better OF
him, and he went to the dogs. One day,
after his fireman had brought the train into
Columbus, with Roby drunk and asleep on
the floor of the cab, he got his blue en-
velope. The idea somehow lodged in his
head that the officials were down on him.

A GEORGIA CAKE WALK.
IN Incident of Life Among the Colored
People.

Cake walk tonight. Admission, twenty
five centsl"
This announcement led your correspond
ent to witness display Of Ethiopian grace
the other night, the occasion being the cake
walk. On entering the sonorous voice of
the presiding Judge could be heard request
ing the band, consisting of melo-
dian, a banjo and a drum, TO play
a quadrille, and the youthful part of
the dusky assembly proceeded to dance
after about ten minutes the Judge donned a
gigantic pair of spectacles, and pulling an
equally formidable watch from his vest
pocket. he announced that the time for the
cake walk had arrived. The list containing
the names of the first pair were called.
The names here given are fictitious,
from a desire to give no ofense.
Mr. Josh Green and Miss Jemima
Johnston were first on the list. Josh pulled
MS red handkerchief out to make it more
prominent, adjusted his collar, and, walking
proudly across the floor, he bowed politely
TO an intensely obscure maiden OF 275
pounds. She gracefully accepted the prof
ferred arm, and when the dulcet strains of
the melOdeon again became audible Josh
and Jemima, arm in arm, started out on the
scrupulously straight chalk line. The pair
however, proceeded on their course clumsily
The Judge looked displeased, and it was gen.
orally concluded that the cake was SAFE
Cesar Smith and Laura McCulium came
next. Cesar bore his head like a conqueror
as he led demure little Laura TO the starting
point. But the proud bearing of Caesar did
not avail him. He started off on the
wrong foot. The whole audience noticed
It, and while the judge frowned, all
knew that this meant no cake for
Caesar. Then came Jim Black and LORNA
Gray and six or seven other couples who all
did comparatively we'll. A pause enslsd.
The Judge looked Significantly around the
room. while loudly calling the name OF Jo-
seph Marshall Purcell. A veteran cake walk
er of seventy-five summers appeared. On
being asked fine was ready. Joseph replied Il

lect a partner. The hopes of the preceding con-
testants seemed TO fade away like flowers in
the autumn. On all sides the cake was con-
coded 10 Joseph. The Judge, however. an
nounced tie between three and jim Wheel
right. one OF the winners, was appointed to
cut the cake. 1t seemed to puzzle Jim how
to divide a round cake in three, but he after
a little consideration, cut the cake into two
equal halves. One of the halves he subjected
TO a similar division, and started for the
door with the lions share, one of the orig
inal halves. Jim was brought back by force,
and the judge appealed to. The judge said
the only way out of the difficulty was to cut
Jim Wheelwright's part in two also, and,
rolling one of these parts into a piece OF
paper, he pocketed it and left amid tumultu-
Gus applause.

Hibitual constipation Is not only one OF the
most unpleasant, but at the same time one
Of the most injurious conditions of the hu.
man system, and is but forerunner OF dis
ease, unless removed. This is usually &C
complished by the use of puTgatives, which
for the time afford relief, but after their inn
mediate effects have passed they leave the
system in a worse state than before. To
effect cure il is necessary that the remedy
used should be one that not only by its
cathartic effect relieves the bowels, but at
the same time act as a tonic, so as TO restore
the organs to a sound, healthy condition.
This Prickly Ash Bitters will do. 1t removes
