Wasn't Equal to His Name.

He was small boy travelling with
his father and mother on train and
the way in which he war-whooped up
and down the car-aisle made him a
terror to the other passengers.
sit STILL" said his father in fog
horn voice. chow can | hear myself
think when you're making such a
racket"
There. there. Johnny, dear, YOU
disturb pa" said his fond mother.
But the infant terror kicked and
cried and refused to keep one position
second at a time.
I'D like to have the raisin' of that
boy, l just would. said a sharp-featured
woman who had her knitting along.
Il wouldn't mind having hand in
it myself" said man who was re-
garding the youngster with murder in
his eye.
"Sit still, Johnny, dear" said his
mother placidly for the nine hundreth
time.
Why don't YOU call him John9 He
might pay more attention to you,
then" said the father GROSSLY.
Nv hats in name?' asked the
mother. BY any other name he
would be our Johnny STILL"
Then for heavens sake give him
another name" retorted his pa. for
he hasn't been still moment with the
one he has"
Then he plugged his ears with cot

| cored his last remark.-DetroU Her

AS to Mr.. Doolan's Denial.

Speaking of the proposed bill to change
the control of the registration from the
county commissioners to the ordinary,
our correspondent, in his dispatch pub
lished Friday, said: "The story that the
Savannah members are using to prepare
the way for this bill, which Mr.. Doolan
is nursing, is that the county commission
clique spent $17 900 to keep the registra-
tion list IN their power at the last cleo
tlon"
Representative Doolan, in a communi-
cation published in the Savannah Press
yesterday, says, with reference to the
foregoing statement, that it is without a
scintilla of truth"
The MORNING News telegraphed to its
correspondent at Atlanta last night as to
the correctness of his dispatch. The fol-
lowingi is his reply;
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 2S.-In answer to Mr.
Doolan's denial of his statement to me that
Sl7, 600 had been spent at the last election
by the county commissioners clique in
order to perpetuate their faction in power,
desire to repeat that he did make such
statement. He not only made this
statement on my first interview with
him regarding his bill to take the regis
tration lists out of the hands of the county
commissioners, and place them in the
hands of tho ordinary, but repeated the
charge in a subsequent conversation. The
first statement was made on the floor
of the House. Mr.. Guerard heard it,
as he was sitting at his desk beside
Doolan, but inasmuch as both are en-
gagged in the same fight, / do not expect
Mr.. Guerard to corrOborate me. The
repetition of the charge was made by
Doolan in the Kimball House lobby, as he
can readily recall, if he is manly enough
to stand by what he says.
e. M. DURANT.
MIR. Doolan's insiuuation that Mr. Du-
rants dispatch was changed in the Office
of the MORNING News, or that Mr. Durant
received instructions as to the character
of his dispatches relative to the bill, does
not deserve notice. Mr.. Durant has re-
ceived no instructions, and his dispatch
as printed as received.

and file So Deringer made thirty-six
pairs of officers pistols. From that time
until 1860 he was the first small
arm-maker in the United States
in the matter of pistols, or, perhaps,
of the world. Some of his
work in its delicacy and beauty was
wonderful. Prince John Magruder (the
late Gen. John Magruder, a famous Off
Ger of the artillery in the old army and a
confederate major generaD, oned the
finest and most elaborate pail of small
pistols that Deringer probably ever
made. They had two sets of barrels fitted
TO each stock. One set was four inches
and the other six inches in length. Each
carried sixty bullets to the pound
The pistols were gold mounted, with
beautiful inlaid work wherever it could
be placed in silver and gold. The locks
were made by Brazier, the most famous
maker Of gun locks in England, and they
cost $50 alone. The arms were present
to Capt. las he then was) Magruder, who
was Just going to Mexico to take com
mand of his battery of the First Artillery.
He would never tell the giver's name, but
it is believed they were the present of a
very wealthy New York lady, who was
greatly attached to the handsome, gallant,
and graceful officer. He still owned them
in 1862, when in command in the PENN
sula, and he said they had saved his life
three times.
At fifteen PAGES the four-inch barrels
would send bullet through an inch oak
plank, which no small revolver made in
1860 would do. The pistols were hair
triggered and with the six-inch barrels
Col Magruder was accustomed to cut the
spots out of the four of spades at twelve
PAGES distance. Another very handsome
pair of the Deringer pistols were pre-
sented to Gen. Beauregard late in 1860 by
a creole gentleman, Of New Orleans.
They were also four-inch barrels, hair
triggered, and beautifully inlaid with sill
yer work. What the cost was of course,
no one knew but the maker and purchaser,
but. including the case and loading in
struments, it could not have been less
than $3.50.
The modern revolvers do not afford
much opportunity for the fine work, de
luxe, that the single shot pistols of former
days did.
Deringer also made a very fine rife that
some Philadelphia gentleman presented
TO Davy Crockett, of Crockett's Bluff, on
the White river in Arkansas. Some
beautiful pairs of dueling pistols were
made also by Deringer, but they are rarely
now seen, except among old families in
the south.
With the changes produced by the war
in the south the arms carrying habit has
about ceased. The old time weapons are
made no more. Their history is fast pass
ing into tradition. But the weapons
written of above were those of manly
and gallant race Of men, who, taught like
the great Greek warrior, Ito ride, shoot,
and sneak the truth
