, At IL o'clock last night while the re-
porters oiTHE APPEAL were busily engaged
in grinding the news grist that came from
hundred channels, q stalwart, black fig
ure entered the door, and, with hat in
hand, meekly waited to be asked what he
wanted.
The fighting editor, in his grufiest and
most awe-inspiring tones shouted to him
ierociously:
"Well, what do you want2"
The figure shuddered with terror and
hesitatingly stammered out
my name is York Bycrs, late Of Crit
tenden county,"
As soon rs this announcement was made
the telegraph editor went ont to see a
man, and the city editor flew into the
composing room TO revise the last piece OF
copy that he had sent in. The managing
editor was about 10 write an article that
required silence and deep thought, and
closed the communicating door which
led into his sanctum, in order
10 commune with himself. The river
editor, who doesn't read anything but the
river column and had never heard OF York
Byers, remained in his seat, busily engaged
in calculating how much higher the Their
mometer could 90 without bursting, and
he and the fighting editor were left alone
with York Byers, the ten-pronged terror
OF Crittenden county, whom company Of
armed men were looking for on Wednes-
day night, with blood in their eyes.
The fighting editor looked at Byers and
sized him up. lie didn't look dangerous,
but he was evidently built for business
and would be q tough customer in fight.
lie is about six feet high, all bone, sincw
and muscle. sparely made, with not an
ounce Of surplus flesh about him. The
Aggression Of his face indicated courage
aud an iron will, but there is nothing
vicious in his look. lie continued stand.
ing until invited TO take seat and then
made the subjoined statement with the
request that Il be publiscd. Having con.
cluded his business without bloodshcd or
any attempt at intimidation, York Bycrs
quietly took his departure. lie is said
TO be a very bad man, but lac evidently
quailed under the mesmerc glance OF
THE ArPEALs fighting editor, and his
manner was child-liko and bland. II
there are any more bad men OF his stripe
in Criitendcr county, let them como on.
We defy them.

LOVES LIVING PICTURES


Wiener we see picture rare.
We always stop to gaze,
And many pictures sweet there are,
Along life's great highways.
OF living piresctu, best0f al,
That greet us rs we pass,
One is of children. sweetand fair,
That gambo in the grass.
The careless grace of each young group,
The tender, guileless touch
OF innocence in faces true
Could painter do AS much?
All, here Is quite another scene
Wherever we might search
We scarce could find fairer one
A wedding in the church.
A happy pair, with hosts of friends.
Young voyagers on liie's sea,
Eyes speaking love-hand clasped in hand
A picture dear to me.
Here Is another, of a home
Where love and truth abide;
Love that is built upon rock,
Defying storm ana tide.
The mother rocking her sweet babe,
While children round her play,
The old folks In the corner there,
Dreaming OF youths fair day.
Ay! living pictures are the best,
Wrought by the hand of love,
Softened and toned by tender rays
That come from heaven above.
