to make Roadway in this fierce
world of ours would be pitiable if
they were not so ridiculous. He
was a good man, but odd, and he
never seemed able to get the hang
of things, and when the stress
would grow too great for him, he
would get his old Jewsharp and for
get all else on earth except to pat
his feet. Well, Uncle John advised
me, when young, to enter politics.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 6.-The
cry of her infant lying at her side
saved Mrs. Nellie Straugh, of go
Pennsylvania avenue, from a
dastardly criminal assault at the
hands of negro brute at 3 o'clock
this morning.
The negro had broken into the
Straugh residence and was at
tempting to force Mrs. Straugh
into submission by choking her,
when her baby of but few months
awoke and began to cry. The
wall of the infant frightened the
brute and he ran through the
house and made his escape by the
rear door.
The negro was captured in
South Memphis tonight and a
call sent to the police station for
a detail of officers to save him from
a mob. Before the police reached
the scene the negro broke away
and escaped. He will probably be
lynched some time during the
night.

PLEASANT HILL.

Now, as | told you, / had some
other failings that are inseparable
from poetic temperament, and
as / am about through with that
subject, | will state that man of
such temperament is usually given
much latitude and it is not consid
cred strange for him to talk one
day on one side of a subject and
the next day on the other. believe.
Though / have flashes of good
sense every once in while, have
a lucid interval when all the petty
annoyances of life fall from me and
I have some good, strong practical
thoughts. l feel streak of that
kind coming on me now and l
am going to say something worth
while. MY failings are absent
mindedness and a Discrimination to
work. believe you will agree with
me that each are failings belonging
ito none but those who are cursed
with poetic temperament. My
observation-disclosures is a source of
great vexation and sometimes, hui
initiation, to me, for / am always
leaving something around which l
should not.
Now, as to my Discrimination to
work. fully believe there are peo-
pie who love to labor and to work
and wish | did, hut l cannot help
it that l do not. / do not know
what it is about work that makes
it so repulsive to me; but so it is.
do not mind thinking Of work or
talking about it, or even seeing
others do it, but even the sugges-
ton that I shall, myself. engage in
it. greatly vexes me, and my friends
sometimes take advantage Of my
weakness to plague me. They will
bring up the subject in an appar-
emily innocent manner and then
plan something for me to do, just
because they know it makes me an
CRY and sometimes violent. On one
occasion, two of my friends planned
to cross the Mississippi river, where
ii was six miles wide, IN a sk1ff
with me, and previously agreed
with each other to play off sick
after leaving the bank and have me
to do all the work, which they did.
u pulled for dear life, and the per-
spiration fairly boiled out of me
until there was not dry spot on
my shirt as large as a bed-quilt,
the wind whistling from the op-
posite side. But, just before reach
ing the bank, the facts developed
and the trick made plain that they
were not sick, but were playing off
on me. l discovered long log ex-
tending some nifty feet into the
river and pulled close up to its
end and, unexpected to them, !
sprang onto the log taking both
oars and at the same time giving
the skiff a hard push which, with
the assistance of the wind, they
were soon we'll into the river. You
ought to have heard those fellows
beg and plead, and promise never
to tell or do so again, it l would
only help them, but | didn't do it.
/ just shouldered my oars and walk
ed the log to land, and as they dis
appeared arond point l lifted my
Dunlap and waved them a final
farewell. Soon their cries attract
ed a darkeY, who towed them
ashore and charged them two dol
lars. When got ready to return

HARRIS.

Pardon me for asking permission
to use time and space for reply to
"Prof. P. H. O., of Vanderbilt.
First. Allow me to ask Gypsy if
the Vanderbilt addition isn't an
error on her part, and can be safely
laid at the door of her tent for cor.
rection. Mr.. Truth Seeker has
been to college, too, and learned
while there that genteel gentle
man or refined lady did not use
slangy phrases in public-such as
the Professor used in his last arti-
cle-"You are goner," "Give you
the black eye" etc.
Now, I'm very sorry I have to
make an explanation, but owing to
the fact that I've been accused of
trying to get up a discussion (when
there isn't word of truth in it) l
will explain for the benefit of some
who do not understand.
Several weeks ago Mr. P. H. O.
said he was opposed to debates.
Truthseeker differed with him on
the ground that if a debate was
properly conducted it caused many
persons to search the scriptures
and learn more than they would
otherwise. P. H. O. said he had
never seen a sinner convicted or a
soul converted at debate. / must
say that enjoyed a good laugh
whenI read 1t, and thought he may
know how to teach a district school,
but he would make a poor farmer
Every sensible person knows that
the soul must be we'll prepared be-
fore the seed is sown. l may be
wrong, but | feel conscientious in
saying that if we had more Bible
readers we would have less warm
UNCOVER or half-soleing during our
protracted meetings. The Bible
teaches us to "Contend for the
Faith"
frequently meet with good peo-
pie who say it is sin to argue
scripture, but it is generally that
class who believe in raising money
for the church with supper, or
"getting religion" in the summer
and dancing in the winter. If de-
bates are unscriptural, please give
me some scripture for church sup
pers. Did you ever see a sinner
convicted or soul CONVERTED there.
Our Methodist pastors have changed
their faith along the line-at least
Madame Rumor says that one had
bills posted for a supper at Harris
last month.
Uncle Bildad, did not know that
you gave me the black eye until the
| PROFESSOR IOlu HE,
Sylvan, excuse me for claiming
your support on the debate ques-
ton.
Old Rusti, my advice to you is
just keep mum. But for the benefit
of our good Barleycorn brother, I
am going to tell what a fine COM
pliment you had paid you at the
Institute in Union City: "She
thinks she is mighty smart and will
do to compare with Hill Billy
with bad case of big head"
Now, Mr.. Editors, l thank you
for your kindness, and hope it will
not be necessary for me to consume
time and space IN your valuable
paper any more. In answer to the
Professor last question, I will say
that I've read the third chapter of
st. John and understood it fully be-
fore he undertook the explanation.
Mr.. p. H. O. commenced this dis
cussion and will have to finish it,
for I've said all | wish to say on the
subject and will resign my position
for some one that perhaps can do
much better.
