Pioking out a southerner.


One can generally pick out a southernar on
tne str cts ia New YORK. His clOthe' are either
old-fashionel and well worn or fresh from the
best tailor in town. He wears fine SLOUGH,
soft hat, creased together on top, the back o it
slightly turned up and the front pulled down
The hat is worn "a eetle' on one side. lie Is
calmeyed aud self p ssessed, and has the
stolidity Of an Indian under ali crcu ances.
He is never in a hurry-hurry being. IN his
mind, reieSated to district nessenye boys
and bank clerks When told to step

a Lesson for the Gossips.


Last week a very funny incident occurred in
one OF the street cars. Several ladies' were
talking IN rather a loud manner about preachers
and their wives. After induging in this sport
for some time, they finally came 70 speak Of the
wife of a prominent pastor Of one Of the
Methodist churches. All kinds Of things were
said-some truthful, others the bode-t mag-
nations. All SAID they had never seen the lady
but they had heard she was blonde and ali
said they would like to see her All ia the car
enjoyed the talk, none more so than the lady
talked about, who happened to be tting op-
posite them. When sue arrived at her destiua-
ton she pulled the bell to stop tee car and hay

piece of alvice. When next you gossip in

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue
Of Sept. ~ VIM. Hubbard Elgn, ILL.,, refers TO
q statement he had seen somewhere, that ut
AndersOnville Prison, in tho month of August,
1864, In answer TO the prayers of Boston Cor
bett for water, that miracle was performed in
answer thereto by giving to the prisoners the
Providence Spring" He also says that the
spring.was not known 10 tho prisoners before
that time, and calls for witnesses TO prove that
it actually was Il miracle; and, singularly
enough. he says he don't want to hear from
persons who may entertain a different con-
clusion, or in substance to that effect.
Now. your humble writer was IN Anderson
vile Prison long before and long after that
washout took place, and will say that the
source of that spring was known TO us; that
It's location was between tho deadline and
stOckade, and that the prisoners who were To-
Gated near there would tic their tin cups to
long poles and reach over the deadline and get
water long before that heavy rain came to
wash channel for IL to flow into the prison,
instead of To settle back into the ground and
perhaps TO follow the trench that had formerly
been made for timbers of the st0ckade into the
creek below. IL was the result of natural
causes. and was never questioned by the pris-
oners to my knowledge. i believe the miracle
feature of the matter ID of recent invention and
entirely groundess. When death was reaping
his harvest of 90 men each day of that month
among the 10000 prisoners who were starving
for bread, would tho Creator mock at our
misery by performing miracle to give q little
