lie Got his Ride.

There is an amusing story told il
North Georgia about the original of
the moonshiner in "Abner Daniel"
Will N. B.rben's new novel (Har.
pers). The nan was arrested for
moonshiniBg by friend who had lust
been taken into the revenue service.
and together the two started for At
lanta, where the prisoner was to be
put in Jail. Reaching the railroad
station they found there was no train
till midnight, 80 they spent the day
drinking sociably together, and by
nightfall the officer was past locomo-
ton and asleep at the village depot,
Seeing the situation somo practical
jokers approached the moonshiner and
advised him to make break for liber-
ty. 10 their surprise he refused.
10 tell you the truth, boys" he
said, shecpishly, II haint never had
good ride on the cyars, an I've sor-
ter made up my mind to make this
trip" They let him have his way,
and saw him eagerly rouse his friend
when the train approached. About
two days later he turned up in the
village. His arm was in sling, his
face was badly bruised, and he looked
as if he had walked long distance.
Being asked what happened, he an
swcred: "When we got to the edge
Of Atlanta I concluded I'd rid fur
enough. Bill had sobered up, an
told i'm was goin' in the smokin'
cyar. l went out on the platform an
tried to light. The train must "a
been goin purity peart, fer she set me
agin gravel bank like I was shot
out'n gun. The next time anybody
ketches me takin' sech a fool trip
they'll know it. I just went along
anyway kase Bill was new at the bust
ness an' wanted to give i'm start"

No one moved. He next put the
motion
"All in favor of staying and Drawing
all dangers, stand up?"
All stood up. He next inquired
who had pocket knives. All had
something of the kind.
He next ordered us to form line
across the deck, with open knives, he,
himself, taking the central position,
with three men on each side.
The soldiers not yet having come,
for We worked fast. McGee took this
vote:
"All who are yet determined to
stand the consequences, be it death,
rather than skulk back into that old
hull, like towards, hold up your right
hands"
Every hand, with open knife, shot
up. All Of this enacted in the imme-
date presence of the captain.
Now. we see the soldiers coming, in
single file, led by the sergeant. Upon
reaching the captain, he orders the
sergeant to put those men back into
the hull of the ship, at the point Of
the bayonet if necessary.
just as the sergeant lined up his
men, facing US, McGee hoped about
four feet in front of our line, and ad-
dressed the soldiers in the most elo-
qucnt speech I ever heard. He called
their attention to the hot steam, to
the Sick men down in the hull. Ap-
pealed to their humanity; begged
them not to attempt to enforce the or
ders of that inhuman wretch, pointing
his finger at the old captain, but add
ed, IF you will and fail to kill us at
drst fire, will cut you to pieces with
our Knives
Then facing the captain, with his
fist clinched, said to him:
"Yes, d-n you, we will limb you,
limb by limb
Having thus spoken, he wheeled
end hoped back in line, as if to say,
"Now DO quickly what you are going
to do"
A momentous silence prevailed just
now, each line looking steadfastly at
the other. McGee had placed the ini-
tiative upon the Federals; they moved
not But, ct last, the old captain
quaked and ordered the soldiers back.
We lad won the victory and tae
deck vas ours. We assisted all the
sick, e'ho were able to climb at all, TO
the upper deck. But we found sew
eral who were not able to climb at all,
and we had to carry them, faint and
limp, up the ladder. Yea, three of
them were dead when we reached the
upper deck, and we committed their
dead bodies to the yielding waters of
the vast deep, in plain view of the old
captain, who was responsible for their
death.
We drifted, as I now remember,
about three days off the coast of Cape
Hatteras, when we were taken in tow
by tug boat and lowed first to Beau
fort and then to Wilmington, N. c.,
for necessary repairs, which consumed
nearly two weeks, when we again set
sail for Charleston and Savannah.
Most of our remaining boys went
home from Wilmington. McGee must
have left us there, as I saw no more
of him. I sa " but little Of him, any
way, after the incident at eea. there

waller in Johnston's Gallery.

Mobile Register.
Mr.. Waller sets forth no good reason
why he should run for the Leutent mt
governorShip. unless 1t be that he wants
office. He certainly gives no reason why
the people should want him. He refers
to his record as speaker. He ran on
that record once and was defeated. IT is
shop worn. He says he listened to for
mer Governor Johnston's remarks at the
Birmingham meeting and endorses them;
but these remarks did not touch upon
Mr.. Walters qualifications for lieutenant
governor. They were confined exclusive
ly to Johnston's claim that his own ad-
ministra ton ought to be indicated. &c
cordingly, Mr.. Walters qualification to
be Acknowledgement rests upon the
fact that Mr.. Waller believes that John
ston ought to be INDICATED!
That would be a poor basis for a cam
didacy in any case; poor one for John
ston; and even poorer for Waller.
But in this case. II Mr.. Waller thinks
Mr.. Johnston's administration shouIi re
indicated, he thinks, Of course, that
the whole of that administration 81 ouid
be vindicated: and that includes Cover
nor Johnston'S gymnastic performances
in calling the Legislature together and
making 1t reverse itself upon the cal for
a Constitutional Convention. Are we to
accept Ii that MIR. Waller looks upon
that performance as a noble and ?a;riC t.
ic deed. solely FIR the good of the ?Jemo-
Gratis of the State and for the uphoiiing
possible that Mr. Waller regards 1t, as
most of his friends and associates do, as
the act of a man who was infatuated
with the desire to be Senator and willing
to sacrifice everything-even ais own
reputation-to his ambition? In he lat
ter case, what sort of a figure does this
representative blackbelt Democrat cut!
In the former case how blind must Mr..
Waller be to the Interior purposes OF the
man he now associates himself with and
endorses!

FOREIGNERS IN CITIES.
Largest Proportion Found in, Fall
River, Smallest in MONTGOMERY,

The larger part of the foreign horn pop
ulation of the United States is found, of
course. in the large cities. But there are
few cities having more than one-third of
their population foreign-born, and there
is no city In which one-half of the popu-
lation Is foreign born.
The nearest approach to the latter con-
dition, says The New York Sun. Is found
In Fall River, where 4S per cent of the
population. including many French-Ca
dams. is foreign born: Lawrence, Mass.
Is per cent: Lowell. Mass, 43; Passaic.
N j., 46: Woonsocket, r. l., ~; Manches-
ter, Mass. a; New Cork. 81; Paterson.
go, "a; Detroit, 80; Milwaukee, 81; Cleve-
land. 80: San Francisco, "a, and Duluth,
80.
These are the cities having the largest
proportionate foreign-born population.
The number of cities in which native-born
Americans not only predominant, but pre-
dominate so largely as to constitute fully
more numerous.
Binghamton has 50 per cent of its pop
ulation native born, and Elmira has 81.
Allentown Pa. one of the strongholds
of the Pennsylvania Germans. has 81 per
cent of its population native born; Har-
rishurg.. the Pennsylvania capital, has 99
per cent: Washington, the national cap
ital, has %: Richmond and Norfolk. Va,
have 90; York, Pa. has 96; Chattanooga
and Nashville Tenn, have 90; Topeka,
Kas., has 90; Indianapolis has So, Terre
Haute has 92 Charleston has IS and Lex
ington, KY. 96.
But the American city which comes
ulation than any other is. perhaps, Mont
gomery Ala, with 90 per cent.
Little Rock Ark. has 81 per cent of
American population and Los Angeles, so.
