A Peacemaker.

The mountaineeer of Tennessee Is a
curious combination. He Is ignorant,
but courteous, unlearned, but sharp,
poverty poor, but open handed; suspic-
ious and cunning, yet scorning any un-
far advantage. He Is shiftless, but
viItuous; most always a sinner, as the
word goes, yet holding to some of the
commandments with grip more ten.
acious than a Christians, L have eaten
his hoe cake and possum, slept before
his rude fireplace, walked and hunted
with him, studied him from all sides,
and yet he is as much OF an enigma as
the day first saw him.
One evening, after a hard days
climb In the mountains beyond Athens,
came upon a log cabin near the
road. l said evening, because every
thing after II is "evening" in the
South. 1t was about 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon. A man sat on a log at
the door smoking and whiting, three
children were playing about, and a
woman sat on the door sill with elbows
on her knees and her face In her hands.
AS came near the man looked np and
said:
"How1y, stranger?"
The woman slowly lifted a face the
color of sunfiower, gazed at me for
half minute, and then added:
"Howdy?"
The children sat down on the log in
4 bashful way, each sucking a finger,
and the father pocketed his knife,
knocked the ashes from his pipe and
continued:
make yerself S'ght to hum, stran-
ger. Children, bring the gourd, Ind
you, Jen, hunt up a bite to eat. ="
L explained that all 1 asked was a
drink OF water. and some Information
about the route, but he spoke up with
considerable energy:
"You must stop with us tonight.
There's no other place for ten miles
whar' they are fixed to take you in -
1 demurred and he insisted, and
finally sat down beside him. We had
scarcely begun a conversation when the
woman looked up and drawled:
"Say, Hi"
"what?"
"Better git yer gum
.'Why?''
"'Cause Robinson's coming"
The man rose up, passed the
woman, and next moment came out
with a rifle In his hands. He stood oE
the log and looked down the road, and
as 1 cast my eyes in that direction
saw a man leave the road and take to .
tree.

ILLEGIELE SIGNATURES.-Certa
" many correspondence editors share
in the opinion OF the Lincoln (Neb.)
Journal that, ''if there Is one man who
deserves to be hanged without benefit
OF the clergy, it IS tho one who sends
you a letter, requesting a reply, and
signs his name with such a combination
OF insane flOurishes that the prince of
darkness wouldn't be able to read 1t.
This man will frequently write very
plainly from the beginning of letter
to the end, and then, taking 1t for
granted that you are perfectly familiar
with his name, get up on the pen and
ride it all over the bottom OF the page,
under the impression that he is append
ing his signature.

THERE Is no use getting excited
about the seizure of an American vessel
by Hayti until the facts are positively
known. If she was engaged in run
ming a blockade and aiding rebels then
she ought to have been seized and con
demned, and the only thing the United
States should do about it is to give
Hayti a vote OF thanks for having put
Il stop to her unlawful traffic. On the
other hand, if she was innocent OF
wrong-doIng it Will be sufficient for the
United States to establish that fact to
get redress from Hayti without the ex-
penditure OF powder or blood-unless
the HaytIens have become extraordi-
narlly reckless.

pared for another one. Not only will the
strictest kind OF quarantine be enforced

but the sanitary matters Ui the city will b.
rigidly watched hereafter TO make our
present security doubly sure.

capable OF removing the accumulation Of
unsantary garbage ia the city. The open
carts make seven loads each 20 the city

THE service is not inefficient to remove

main defect is that the people desire and
require greater number Oi carts than was
ever contemplated before.

cellars once year, and besides expecting
us To haul of all their old salt barrels,
think We ought to haul oil the rubbish in
fifteen seconds.
