they say, cannot afford to be selfish,
but they think it only charity to those
at distance to understand that there
are plenty here to do the work. Let
other towns and the whole country go
to work, as Atlanta has-create work,
turn something up, and '94 will end
up with good cheer and prosperity.
And here, in the country, the peo-
pie are partaking Of the enthusiasm.
The exposition is all the talk. There
is but one sad man in our County
that is Brown. He swapped his
Texas pony off this week-the one
that SCARED him up Christmas from
the alarm clock. He swapped with
Gypsies again, and has now what I
call a trick mule. They tell it on
Brown that the mule he now has is so
trained chat every time you jog him in
the side with your heels he sits down
behind-the Gypsies, they say, have
him trained that way. After the
swap was over the Gypsy and Brown
rode along some distance together.
Just after they left Whites store, at
Panthersville, Brown jabbed his mule
in the sides with his heels, and down
the mule sat, so sudden that Brown
had to hold to the mules care to keep
from sliding off. As it happened the
Gypsy switched his horse around in
the bushes and up flew drove of par
tridges.
"What kind of action is this ?"
asked Brown Of the Gypsy.
"He's setter mule" said the Gyp-
sy; "didn't you see the birds ?"
This sorter paoifed Brown, and he
smiled to himself to think he had a
mule that would set birds the same as
dog. The two rode along together
sociably until they arrived at the
creek, where they stopped to let their
horses drink. When Browns mule
was through drinking he gathered up
his reins and jagged Mr.. Mule in the
sides with his heels, and down the
mule sat again, right in the water,
and wet Brown as wet as drownded
rat. Brown foundered out Of the wa
ter, gathered rock and was about to
go for the Gypsy, when that gentle
man explained that the mule saw a
fish.
eyes" said the Gypsy, "the mule
will set fish the same as he will BIRDS .
as he put whip to his horse and was of
over the hill. Brown followed the
Gypsy with wicked eye until he had
passed over the hill then be turned
and caught his mule, drew long
breath, and said:
"I'n-ber-dam II
This may only be an old story ap-
piled to Brown, for what I know, but,
anyhow, his mule is for trade.

blessing upon the men who are press
ing the exposition movement. They
can t help it if there comes an influx
from other places to spoil the intent
of their good work.
We folks in Georgia should feel
that we have been blessed this winter.
The weather has been kind to the
poor, and now the people of wealth are
displaying kind spirit in wishing to
create work and restore confidence.
Everything has raised its head with
the new year. The mechanics, espe-
cially, are beginning to step proud
over the prospects. Men, who week
ago, moped around with their under
lip dropped down on their shirt collar,
have braced up smiling and serene.
There is nothing more contagious than
good spirits when such men as are at
work on this exposition became en-
Unused to turn something up. Stone
wall Jackson performed wonders as a
General because his men trusted and
partook of his spirit. The mechanics
of Atlanta have the same confidence
in the men who are moving this expo
sition, and half of the hard times have
vanished from Atlanta. These me-
chanics say that the newspaper is a
great factor in such movements and to
them they look to press the point that
there be not an unhealthy influx into
the city, The mechanics of Atlanta,

receiving two vicious cuts, he too
retired, calling off his men. They
left the place hastily, leaving their
three dead companions on the ground,
but carrying off their wounded. They
thought that force Of Confederates
was encamped mile or SO up tho
river, and probably expected them to
be attracted to the scene by the sound
of the firing.
Keelin, desperately wounded as he
was, remained at his post until reliev-
ed. He bound up the bleeding stump
of his arm and stanched the blood in
his half-dozcn other wounds as best he
could, receiving no medical attention
until after daylight next morning.
After he recovered from his wounds,
he continued to serve in the army
until after the end of the war, not
withstanding the loss Of his left hand.
He is now an old man, far on the
shady side of sixty, and lives by the
fruits of his daily toll in little cabin
in West Bristol. He is modest and
retiring in disposition, and compare
lively few people in this city, where
he has resided for number Of years,
have ever seen him or heard the won
derful story of which he is the hero.
There are several persons here, how
ever, who are familiar with the Incl
dent, and from an old Confederate,
who was in the vicinity when the
fight occurred, the Courier-J0urnal
correspondent heard the story before

sation, but had found him taciturn
and unwilling to talk. On the day in
question he kept prowling about, but
did not come within the railing near
the members seats. His hand was
held inside his vest, as if grasping
something, and his lips were pale and
quivering.
On his pistols being taken from him
after the affair, they were found to
be very elegant pair, in excellent
order, and loaded with powder and
ball almost to the muzzle, the barrels
being about six inches in length. 1t
was most astonishing circumstance,
almost reaching to the miraculous,
that, loaded as they were and Of such
perfect mechanism, both pistols
missed fire. 1t was dual lottery Of
life and death, and the hero Of New
Orleans, with his usual good luck,
drew prize each timel
There was probably in our native
history no more interesting test OF
firearms than that made Immediately
after the affair by District Attorney
Key and General Hunter, Marshal Of
the District, on Law1ence's pistols.
This was done with some Of the re-
naming powder, balls and caps of the
prisoner, and the result showed that,
loaded in the ordinary manner, the
discharge Of the weapons took place
every time, and their powder was
such that the bullet would pass
through an inch boa.d at distance
of nine yards and nearly bury itself in
a second board at further distance
of about as many yards.
So great was the excitement pro-
duced by the affair that some of the
most eminent opponents Of the Presi-
dent, including such men as Clay,
Calhoun, Poindexter, and White,
were, in the frenzy Of the moment,
suspected Of having conspired in a
plot to get rid of the President.
But in this affair there was a wo-
man in the case' it appears. 1t was
ascertained that sometime previous
Lawrence had formed an attachment
for young lady and frequently told
his sister that he would, by his in
dustry, soon be able to buy corner
lot and build on it good house, then
he would marry the object of his at
tachment.
With this view he labored day and
night until he had about $500. But
he was disappointed and became ex-
tremely pensive, quit all employment,
and would stand for hours gazing
upon the spot which he had selected
for his future residence. He became
nopelessly insane. This was shown
at his trial, when he had claimed his
right to the crown Of England and had
called on the President and demanded
money, threatening death to him if it
was not soon forthcoming.
The jury, after being out FIVE min
utes, rendered a verdict Of ''not guilty
he having been under the influence Of
insanity at the time Of committing the
act."
But before the trial and its termi-
nation the intense excitement pro-
duced by the act throughout the coun-
try had about wholly subsidized. As for
Lawrence, he was sent to lunatic
asylum, where he remained an in
mate the rest of his life, nearly forty
