Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1893-07-26

The Yankees antipathy to work has
never yet been adequately appreciated. He
is in state of perpetual insurrection
against the primal curse. He feels that he
was born to sit on the fence and whittle in
the sunshine, and he is against every ap-
parent necessity that would compel him to
forego the serene pleasures of a purely con-
templative existence He recognizes, to be
sure, that work has got to be done. No
one has morevivid a realization Of that.
But the consciousness of the need of get
ting things done does not impel him to take
his coat off aud do them so much rs TO con-
trye some way of accomplishing ends with
out working. The crudest, simplest way of
doing that is to get rich enough to hire la
Dor. Accordingly the Yankee does try to
get rich, aud does not try in vain. 1t is not
that he loves money so much and desires to
possess it as that he loves labor so little.
But to get rich is only an indirect way Of
beating the tyrant The Yankee would
rather abolish work than elude it. If he
can get il done without human intervention
at all, he likes that best and if he cannot
wholly eliminate humaS Intervention, he
wants to reduce it TO its lowest possible
limit When he gets matters fixed so that
the work is done with very little intermed-
ding, he is willing to sit by and supervise
the process He will pull lever and turn
cock now and then without much COM
plant, if 50 be that he can ruminate and
whittle. His name is a synonym for energy
and perseverance. But to make things
work together for the automatic accom-
plishment Of labor and TO sit by and see
that they work right-that is the Yankee
idea of the mission Of man.-Scribner's
Magazine.

Our Frozen ancestors.

"Was he aboreal, and did he live upon
fruit ?" 1t has been suggested that he was
driven from these mild ways by the cold OF
that unpleasant time when glaciers covered
the earth The trees died and the fruit per-
ished, and the ancestor climbing down,
began with rats and mice, and finished with
cannibalism, to avoid perishing likewise
Also he invented fire. Also, the cold made
him use language But this is rather an
unsubstantial speculation, since Prof. Prest-
wich. for instance, believes that there were
men before the glaciers. At any rate, he
tells ms that at Sevenoaks, in the very old
pre-glacial plateau drift" above the downs,
he has found instruments of flint.
1t is not impossible that those beetle
browed persons, the paleoithic men, the
remote men who Clipped out weapons Of
unpublished stone and knew the uses of
neither cattle, clay, nor corn, were less hu-
man looking than their skeletons would
lead us to fancy There is hint in one
rude scratching on a bone that they were
thickly hairy. There is a remote chance
yet-at least it is a pleasant fancy to enter
tain-that we with our own eyes may yet
see this hairy ancestor Of )urS in the flesh.
Every one has heard of the entire NAM
moth, skin and flesh complete, frozen up
inside of Siberian river and enduring to
our days The flesh was so fresh that the
dogs fell upon it and ate il without i'll re.
suits.
Now, these re-glacial men of Prof Prest-
wich must have been contemporaries with
those mammoths and they may have ven-
tured, too, since they hunted the mammoth,
into high laIitudes The discovery of a
refrigerated ancestor is by no means impos-
sble.
1t is necessary for any one who has read
"The Frozen Pirate" to curb his imagina-
ton here. In all humanity we must hope
the ancestor when thawed. will be dead
Fancy the shock of Rip Van Winkle inten :
sihed by 10000 generations. II he is dead
he must, of course. be promptly stuffed by
the best taxidermists in council, and placed
in a commanding position in the museum
in Cromwell Road, a relic and true portrait
combined. The Geatlemaas Ndgasine.

T,ro John Alien stories.

Congressman John Allen, the bubbling
humorist from Mississippi, is in great favor
in Washington circles, for he generally
has bright story at his tongues end. He
was regalng crowd OF friends with some
Southern stories, and among them was the
one which follows, one of the few stories
OF Aliens that has not gotten into print;
Allen had employed on bis place an old
negro servant, who, in times before the war,
was the property of the Congressman's fla
ther. Old Uncle Rufus suffered from fire.
quent and uugovernable attacks Of klepto-
mania, attacks that seemed to be beyond all
remedy. He was arrested time aud time
again for stealing articles from the place OF
his employer. Mr.. Allen finally grew tired
of attempting to reform his old servant, and
he had him arrested for stealing a big piece
of side meat from the plantation storehouse.
1t was the intention to have the servant
serve a brief time in the county Jail for the
offense with the hope that the imprisonment
would check him in his habit Of stealing
The old man pleaded hard with the young
mahs,ah" to be released, and recalled all
the fayors and kindnesses he had shown Mr.
Allen when that dignitary was still boy.
Allen began to weaken on the line Of this
argument, and was about to release the ser
want on the strength of his past services
He turned to Uncle Rufus with:
"Now, Uncle Ruf, if you will bring back
that side meat and promise me on the Bible
that you will never steal another thing off
this plantation, will let you go. Further
more, you will have to sign a paper promis-
ing on your solemn honor never to steal
again"
Uncle Rufus hesitated for moment.
"Mahs John" said he, "Tse willing TO
pib YOU back de side meat. Yes, sab, I'll
do dat. I'll do dat-but now, look yeah,
Mahs John-you can't 'spect me TO sign
away my rights"
Aliens generous ways made him very
popular with the ld-time negroes, and fre-
quently he was called upon, without expec-
taiion of compensation, to defend them in
suits for piIfering On one occasion col
ored preacher Of the neighborhood was on
trial for stealing some poultry from neigh
bor The preacher protested his innocence,
and Allen made very able defence for him.
The evidence, however, was very strong
against the parson, and Mr.. Allen saw that
his client would probably be convicted. He
whispered to him after the case had gone
to the jury and told him to prepare to meet
the worst. The preacher was shrewd old
fellow, but he could not just see how he
was going to get out Of the scrape. The
Jury was out only few minutes and the
preacher lost all hope. After the jury had
taken their seats and the foreman was be-
ginning to read the verdict the old preacher
jumped up from his seat and bawled out
"Yo Honah, Pse-"
"Sit down." said the court, and turning
to the attorney, "wha. does the prisoner
mean ?"
"Yo Houab, persisted the prisoner, Il
move dat dis cot do adjou'n."
"WelI," replied the court, somewhat
amused, chow do you expect the court TO
adjourn ?"
Because" continued the prisoner, "A
motion to adjourn is always in ordab, sah."
