The +" swamp Fox" of Georgia.

Turning over page Of his private
memorandum book, Bill Jones, the
detective, said:
Here's the case that gave me my
title as Swamp Fox of Georgia."
What is it2"
In '6S a safe was opened in Macon
and about $ll 900 was taken out. The
case was put in my hands, and l fol-
lowed the man into the swamps near
where Lumber City now is. | found
him there working at the mill, and got
work, too. In short time he and
were quite friends, and were sleeping
together. lie had habit OF leaving
the bed about daylight every morning,
and | began to follow him. II was
slow work and required several weeks.
One morning I'd go a certain distance
and then back, and the next morning
little further. Finally, / went to
the end of his rope. / followed him
into the heart of the swamp and saw
him take package from stump. He
handled it awhile and then put it
back. | guessed what it was and
guessed well. That night l went to
the stump and pulled out the package
and found over 10000 in it. That
night we went to bed together, but
about midnight | got up, and securing
an officer for whom | sent, went TO
that stump. The next morning he
came at the usual hour, and, as he
stopped to reach for the package, we
sprang upon him and he was ours"

A DEmoCRATIC GOVERNOR.
How Dick OgIesby Kept ON the
Good side Of His People.

Ex-Governor Richard j. Oglesby oil
Illinois, when he was in New York
several years aso, was invited
by a friend to dine at Delmonico's.
This was before his election for Gov
ernor five years ago, and while he was
a candidate for the nomination. He
had never been in Delmonico's, and
accepted with pleasure. The dinner
over, cigars were proposed, and, as
both gentlemen were due at an APP
pointment, they went to the cigar
stand TO be served. The attendant,
knowing the Governors entertainer,
took box of fine Havanas from un-
der the counter and opened it TO serve
them.
What are these ?" asked the Gov
ernor.
"Cigars," replied his host.
But how much are tLey2" he per-
sisted in asking, and the man at the
counter replied; -Four for 81. '"
A look Of something like holy hor-
ror stole over Uncle Dicks face as lie
put up his hand with a deprecating
motion and gasped out, half tragical-
ly: "Put 'em back; put 'em right
back. Why, If they knew out in
Illnoy that smoked 25 cent cigar it
would ruin me socially, financially, re-
ligiously, politically and every other
way. No, sir; cent cigar is good
enough for me in Illinoy, and a 10
