A "Reminiscences of ElktOn.

In the WING of last week mention is
made of Mr.. Taylor, who had visited
Elkton after an absence OF fifty years.
| have some recollection of John 5
Taylor, an undertaken in Elkton many
years ago, and | think he was local
preacher. This recalls an anecdote l
heard from the late Col. Howard. Col.
Mackey was raising an artillery company
at the Rock, and he had received an
order from the Governor for two small
field pieces that were standing in the Old
market house across the street opposite
Witworth's store. The young men in
ElktOn determined he should not have
to receive them. But they found they
had not force enough, and they went in
search of more help, except Col. Howard,
aud he was left by himself i'll the market
house, and seeing that Taylor's hearse
which stood there. was in the way of re
moving the cannon, he thought he
=
the shafts he gave pull, and suddenly
the doors flew open and slammed back
against the sides of the hearss; what's
all this, thought the Col, something
alive in this carriage OF the dead, here III
this lonely place in the depths of tho
night But there was not much time for
thought, for while looking toward the
opened doors he saw Il mans head look
ing around the corner. He called out,
"who are you" and the head replied, II
am stranger, aud crept in here to sleep
through the night" | can imagine if
some superstitious fellow had hold of the
shafts, he would not have assisted mucl.
in moving cannon that night. VI.

located IN tho city of hrotherly loVe-a
very suggestive namo 10y the way for a
parsou who undertook to thrash his
wife in public-he was preacher aud a
solid man. But TIE bibulous Bradshaw S
actions i'll Elkton sadly beIied his pro
fession, and the responsibility of his
calling, cast the greater discredit on him
as au individual. Bradshaw put in an
station on Saturday afternoon last. He
was accompanied by Il dusky damsel to
whom he applied the endearing title OF
wife, and one with half an eye could
easily see that the whole household of
Bradshaw was on bender. After
negotiating for a team i'll which to drive
to Chesapeake City, and the fee for its
service being paid in advance, the
mnddled IL missionaries mounted their
bachanaliau chariot, an Elktou boy
being perohcd in front as charioteer.
Their direct course lay down Bow street,
respectable thoroughfare not often
profaned by swearing preacL els and
tipsy women. But before the corner of
High street was reached the campaign
opened. The female Bradshaw being
loaded to the muZzle gave the bully
Bradshaw piece OF her lip. This piece
OF Conuubial impertinsnoe the ethiopian
expounder of the gospel OF domestic
peace resented by giving the audacious
lady in black, a swipe across her ''snoot'
with left open handler. Her mouth
being at his, as we'll as at her own SCR.
vice, the loving virago extended her
smitten lips, and Selling her sinful
swain therein, she undertook to chew off
his left arm. Realizing her loving pur-
pose, the irate Bradshaw let go a level
right handler which landed in the right
optic of the weaker vessel. She promptly
let go her hold, but ont of that relaxed
ortice there poured a stream Of classic
phrases that would have confounded a
man ordinarily foolish. By this time the
happy family had reached the lower end |
of the street, which echoed to the pro
fame discord of the dusky twain. The |
driver of the team although ordinarily |
boy of grit, became alarmed, and mo.
expecting to see a glistening |
razor flash on the air, leaped from the |
out of dangers way. Their |
peace officer Boulder appeared on the |
scene. In that calm but persuasive style |
Of his he reasoned 10 vain to quiet the |
Infatuated couple, and taking them from
their chariot committed them to the |
careful keeping of Sheriff Boyd.
The tragedy of Saturday was sue
eeedeh by comedy before the magis-
rate on Monday, when the now re-
pentant twain were arragned and tined
FOR drunkenness and disorder. The rail
road train returned them the same day
whence they came, never il is to be hoped
again to return.
