Extreme low water in the Mississippi
recently unearthed an historical relic at
the ferry landing at Columbus, KY, in
the shape of a huge, old fashioned col
umbiad, which did duty during the late
war in the hands OF the Confederates.
Those familiar with the history of the
formidable weapon state that it played a
conspicuous part in the battle of Bel
mont, Mo-, in the fall of 1861, and that
from its lofty perch on the bluffs above
Columbus it sent many a huge shell
screaming cross the river into Grants
army, and that it had more to do with
keeping the gunboats at bay than all
others at the fort. The gun is the only
remaining relic of the Confederate forti-
fications erected at Columbus, KY, thir-
ty years ago.-Chicago Times.

Yesterday afternoon an aged and
somewhat infirm specimen of humanity
called at The Telegraph office and SOL
icited the liberty Of writing a note,
which was accorded him. He was given
a seat ut the editors desk, and, although
pens and ink were in view, he asked for
a pencil, which was handed him. Paper
was his next desire, and this was also
supplied. Carefully wetting the end of
the pencil and adjusting the paper in
front of him, he ran his fingers through
the tangled labyrinth of iron-gray hair
that fringed his not over-clean brow,
and, with a far away look in his eyes,
he wrote what might have been n will.
His note written, he turned and blandly
asked for an envelope, land II you
would kindly let me have a stamp with
it,"
A newspaper man car stand almost
anything, and he got the envelope and
stamp. Carefully inserting the note in
the envelope and addressing it, he again
turned and requested hat it might be
dropped in the postoffice, as he wished
to catch u train. This was all right.
lie belongs in S~tonington, and all he
said was agreed to. A pipe and tobacco
lay on the desk, and as he arose from
the chair he detected the tobacco. TAX
ing from his pocket a rusty pipe, he
asked If he couldn't have some tobacco
and n few matches. This was ''piling it
on" pretty thick, but with the usual
agreeable and obliging temper charac-
teristic of The Telegraph employees, he
was told he might have some tobacco and
matches, but he couldn't possibly be sup
piled with breath-that, unfortunately,
he'd have to get outside-and he did

Though, some of Advertising.

An old man, n firm believer in the eff.
cacy of advertising, came into this office
the other day and wanted to advertise a
lost mitten for a month. He said the
mittens cost 80 cents when new, and he
had worn them only three years. When
informed that the outlay would be much
more than the missing article could be
worth, he went off in an undecided state
Of mind, resolved, however, to have one
more good look for the mitten before he
trusted its destinies to printers ink

One of the most instructive,
able and exhaustive discussions OF
political race organizations that
has appeared in a long while is to
found In the letter of Ex-senator
Bruce to the Washington Post OF
Sunday last. ffr. Bruce has the
happy faculty of saying the right
thing in the right way and at the
right time, ano for this reason bis
public utrerances never fail to at
tract attention and to properly
direct the trend ofpubhc thought.
There was a growing fear aud sus-
picion on the part of many as to
the purpose of the colored people
in the organization Of leagues for
the protection of their rights; and
the enemies of the race We're
quick to charge that the purpose
was political; that, abandoning all
political principles, the race
would hereafter be offered for
sale to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Bruce corrects this errone-
ous impression and shows in the
most conclusive way that our PEG,
pie through the contemplated Or
CARNATIONS propose to protect
their personal and civil rights and
do not intend to engagein politics
as q race but to act in these mat
tiers like other American citizens.
As he truly expresses ii; "they
propose to vindicate American
rights by American methods
We say, let the organization OF
the leagues 60 on but zee to 1t
that demogogues are not permits
ed to divert it from It's original
purpose or to use it for selfish
ends. We owe it to ourselves TO
90 conduct this organization as to
keep it out of the mire of paru-
zan politicians and to so direct It's
course as to commend it to good
men everywhere. Should we com
NIT the objectionable blunder Of
organizing on race lines for polit-
cal purposes we would not oul y
lose the friends we now have out
fail r. any from our ene-

one of the most diabolical acts ev-
er was known to be charged
against an injured and wronged
race of people, We admit that
we have some bad men among
US, but there are exceptions and
many of them, at that. Coroner
Patterson, who ordered an au-
topsy to be performed is entitled
to our everlasting gratitude.
The cowardly attempt also to
throw the responsibility Of that
officers death, not long since, Oh
MIR. Robert Brown, respectable
colored citizen, shows plainly
what these officers would do if
they were given an opportunity.
The friends of the deceased police~
man Crippen, would have had Mr.
Brown to rush up stairs after the
murderer and have him killed
and the officer saved, whose duty
1t was to arrest the murderer. The
officer would not have been killed
had he taken the advice ct those
who were present at the time he
rushed up stairs. All that the
citizens ask is fair treatment and

from grace is no proof that she
cannot reform.
Always be careful what you
write, because you may have occa.
sion to recall it some time.
Never write a letter to friend
that third party cannot read.
If you follow this rule, you will
have no occasion to fear what may
fall into the hands of your enemies.
It is a bad policy to write Sc
crets even to those in whom you
have confidence.
Lovers will often expose eacn
other in anger.
You mother is your best friend.
That will depend very often on
what kind of a mother you have.
An honest man is safe to confide
in as the Maker of the universe.
Do all you can for those to whom
you are obligated.
ALWAYS speak the truth to your
friends and be frank with your en-
emies.
Watch your friends and trust
not your enemies.
Think wisely always before you
speak.
Never tell all you know, because
you may hear it again.
If you are compelled to talk say
that which has no weight or signi-
fcance.
A talkative man or woman often
does harm to him or herself.
Parents are responsible to their
children.
They are borne without their
knowledge or consent.
1t is the weak parent who says
continually, you owe me for rearing
you.
1t is parents duty to rear bis
children.
The child owes obedience to the
parent only.
Men often fall out with the other
when he cannot be used.
BE wise, honest, just and Obedi'
ent to thy fellow man.

In singing the praises of dear Wienerwurst;
I'd sing them in words that were never yet

And RUG in some changes that were never yet

Because It's the best and most edible thing
That ever was made by the deit hand of man;
In my midst. l am sure, there is nothing that
Such genuine pleasure as wienerwurst bring;

Do you know how they make it? Well, listen,
I'll tell:
They chop up the flesh of the shoat and the

And mix up the mass and season i well
With numerous spices all certain to keep;
Then stuff it and smoke 1t in cases of sheep.
Yes. stuff it and smoke it, and when it's half dry
Put it into steamer and heat it quite hot;
And there's nothing in all the wide world that
wot,
With its flavor or perfumes can possibly vie,
How the scents from the steamer like melodies
burst,
Rolling out from that mess of sheep-cased
Wienerwurst!
And oh, were there men, just like WlenerwuTst,
Choke full of all good things from shoe sole to
hat,
And thoroughly spiced with good sense and all
We see such but rarely. though often rehearsed.

And you think of yer barefoot days;

And We and yer wife agrees

When the green gifts back in the trees
Well, wOrk is the least O. my ldees
When the green, you know, gifts back III the

Old gait they hum roun' in;
When the grounds all bald where the hay-r1ck
stood,
And the crick's riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dogwood,
And the green gifts back in The trees
like, as say. in such times as these
The time when the green gifts back in the trees.
When the whole tail feathers O Wintertime
Is all pulled out and gone,
And the sap it thaws and begins to climb,
And the sweat it starts out on
