gard, that It would have been counted
the most obstinate infidelity to doubt
for moment after he had delivered
himself Squire Loggins was a man
who said but little, but that little was
always delivered with the most impos-
ing solemnity of look and cadence
He always wore the aspect of profound
thought, and you could not look at
him without coming to the conclusion
that he was celebrating truth from it's
most intricate combinations.
Uncle Tommy" said Sam Reynolds,
you can tell us all about it if you
will; how will the fight go?"
The question Immediately drew an
anxious group around the squire He
raised his teeth slowly from the head
of his walking cane, on which they
had been resting; pressed his lips
closely and thoughtfully together;
threw down his eyebrows, dropped his
chin, raised his eyes to an angle of
twenty-three degrees, paused about
half minute, and replied, Sammy,
watch Robert Durham close in the be-
ginning of the fight; take care of Will
liam Stations in the middle of it; and
see who has the wind at the end" AS
he uttered the last member of the sent
ence, he looked slyly at Bob's friends,
and winked very significantly; where
upon they rushed, with one accord. to
tell Bob what Uncle Tom had said
AS they retired, the squire turned to
Billy's friends, and said, with a smile,
Them boys think mean that Bob will
whip
Here the other party kindled into
joy, and hastened to inform Billy how
Bob's friends had deceived themselves
as to Uncle Tommys opinion. In the
meantime the principals and seconds
were busily employed in preparing
themselves for the combat. The plan
of attack and defence, the manner of
improving the various turns of the con-
fiict, ''the best mode of saving wind"
etc., were all discussed and settled. At
length Billy announced himself ready,
and his crowd were seen moving to
the centre of the courthouse square;
he and his five seconds in the rear.
At the same time, Bob's party moved
to the same point, and in the same or
der. The ring was now formed, and
for a moment the silence of death
reigned through both battalions. 1t
was soon interrupted, however, by the
cry of CLEAR the way!" from Billy's
seconds; when the ring opened in the
centre of the upper battalion (for the
order of march had arranged the ceE-
ter of the two battalions on opposite
sides of the circle), and Billy stepped
into the ring from the east, followed
by his friends. He was stripped to
the trousers, and exhibited an arm,
breast and shoulders Of the most tre-
mendOus portent. His step was firm,
daring, and martial; and as he bore his
fine form a little in advance of his
friends, an involuntary burst of tri-
umph broke from his side of the ring;
and, at the same moment, an uncon-
trollable thrill of awe ran along the
whole curve of the lower battalion.
Look at him!" was heard from
his friends; "just look at him."
Ben, how much you ask to stand
before that man two seconds?'

had conspired with clay and blackber-
ries to throw him quite out of the or
der Of nature. His shoulders were
fleshless and elevated his head large
and fiat; his neck slim and translu-
cent; and his arms, hands, fingers,
and feet were heightened out of all
proportion to the rest of his frame
His joints were large and his limbs
small; and as for flesh, he could not,
with propriety, be said to have any.
Those parts which nature usually sup
plies with the most of this article-the
calves of the legs, for example-pre-
sented in him the appearance of so
many well-drawn blisters. His height
was just five feet nothing; and his av-
erage weight in blackberry season,
ninety-five. I have been thus partic-
ular in describing him. for the purpose
Of showing what great matter lit
tie fire sometimes kindleth. There was
nothing on this earth which delighted
Ransy so much as fight. He never
seemed fairly alive except when he
was witnessing, fomenting, or talk
ing about a fight Then, indeed, his
deep-sunken gray eyes assumed some
thing of a living fire, and his tongue
acquired a volubility that bordered
upon eloquence. Ransy had been kept
for more than a year in the most tor
turing suspense as to the comparative
manhood Of Billy Stallings and Bob
Durham. He had resorted to all his
usual expedients to bring them into
collision, and had entirely failed He
had faithfully reported to Bob all that
had been said by the people in the up
per battalion "agin him." and ''he was
sure Billy Stallings started it. He
heard Billy say himself to Jim Brown
that he could whip him, or any other
man man in his battalion;" and this
he told to Bob; adding, 'Dod
darn his soul, if he was a lit
tie bigger, if he'd let any man
put upon his battalion in such a way"
Bob replied, eff he (Stallings) thought
so, he'd better come and try it," This
Ransy carried to Billy, and delivered
it with spirit becoming his own dig
nifty and the character of his own bat
talon. and with a colouring we'll cal
culated to give it effect. These, and
many other schemes which Ransy
laid for the qualification of his curl
osity, entirely failed of their object
Billy and Bob continued friends, and
Ransy had began to lapse into the
most tantalizing and hopeless despair,
when a circumstance occurred which
led to a settlement Of the long-dis-
puted question.
1t is said that hundred gamecocks
will live in perfect harmony together
If you do not put hen with them;
and so it would have been with Bill
ly and Bob, had there been no wo-
man in the world. But there were
women in the world, and from them
each of our heroes had taken to him
self wife. The good ladies we're no
strangers to the prowess of their hus-
bands, and, strange as it may seem,
they presumed little upon it,
The two battalions had met at the
courthouse upon a regimental parade.
The two companions were there, and
their wives had accompanied them.
Neither knew the others lady, nor
were the ladies known to each other.

ply.

she replied, 'if it hadn't a. been for
that impudent huzzy."

zy, you nasty, good-for-nothing, snag-
gle-toothed gaub of fat, you?" return
ed Mrs. D.
Look here, woman" said Billy,
"have you got husband here? If you
have, I'll lick him till he learns to
teach you better manners, you sassy
heifer you.''
At this moment something was seen
to rush out of the store as if ten thou
sand hornets were singing it, crying
Take care-let me go-don't hold me
where's Bob Durham?" 1t was Ran
sy Sniffle, who had been listening in
breathless delight to all that had pass
ed.

Atwater's store. bod eternally darn my
soul, If any man was to talk to my
wife as Bill Stations is talking to
yours, if I wouldn't drive blue blazes
through him in less than no time"
Bob sprang to the store in a minute,
followed by a hundred friends; for
the bully Of county never wants
friends.
''Bill Stallions," said Bob, as he en-
tered, what have you been saying TO
my wife,"
''Is that your wife," inquired Billy,
obviously much surprised and a little
disconnected.
Eyes, she is, and no man shall abuse
her, I don't care who he is"
well, feJOln0d Billy, 1T ant worth
while to go over it; I've said enough
for fight; and if you'll step out, We'll
settle it,"
Billy said Bob, "are you for fair
f1ght?"
81 am" said Billy. 1--WE heard much
Of your manhood, and l believe I'm a
better man than you are. If you will
go into ring with me, we can soon
settle the dispute"
Choose your friends" said Bob;
make your ring, and I'll be in with
mine as soon as you will"
They both stepped out, and began to
strip very deliberately, each battal-
ion gathering round its champion, ex-
cept Ransy, who kept himself busy in
a most honest endeavor to hear and
see all that transpired in both groups
at the same time. He ran from one to
the other in quick succession; peeped
here and listened there; talked to
this one, then to that one, and then TO
himself; squatted under ones legs and
another's arms, and, in the short in
terval between stripping and stepping
into the ring, managed to get himself
trod on by half of both battalions.
But Ransy was not the only one inter

dom thrown together. When they met,
however, they were always very friend
ly; indeed, at their first interview,
they seemed to conceive wonderful
attachment to each other, which rather
increased than diminished as they be-
came better acquainted; so that, but
for the circumstance which l am about
to mention, the question, which had
been a thousand times asked (Which

six feet and an inch in his stockings,

pA ghter; but he was much the
ID re of the two. In running and
jumpf ne had but few equals in the
count and in wrestling, not one.
In Q@er respects they were nearly

me- of human nature in it's finest
form Billy's victories had generally
been achieved by the tremendous pow
his blows, one of which had of
s. proved decisive of his battles;
b. by his adroitness in bringing
hi hXadversary to the ground. This
advantage he had never failed to gain
at the onset, and, when gained, he
never failed to improve it to the defeat
of his adversary. These points of
difference have involved the reader in
doubt as to the probable issue of a
contest between them. 1t was not so,
however, with the two battalions
Neither had the least diffic Guilty in de-
termining the point by the most natur-
al and irresistible deductions priori;
and though, by the same course Of
reasoning, they arrived at directly op-
posite conclusions, neither felt its con-
fidence in the least shaken by this
circumstance The upper battalion
swore that Billy only wanted one lick
at him to knock his heart, liver, and
lights out of him; and if he got two
at his, he'd knock him into a
torted, that he wouldn't have time to
double his fist before Bob would put
his head where his feet ought to be;
and that, by the time he hit the
ground, the meat would fly off his
face so quick, that people would
think it was shook off by the fall"
These disputes often led to the argu-
mentim ad hominem, but with such
equality of success on both sides as
to leave the main question just where
they found it. They usually ended,
however, in the common way, with
bet; and many quart of old Jamai-
ca (whiskey had not then supplanted
rum) was staked upon the issue.
Still, greatly to the annoyance of the
curious, Billy and Bob continued to
be good friends.

county just alluded to a little fellow
by the name Of Ransy Sniffle, sprout
of Richmond, who, in his earlier days,
had fed copiously upon red clay and
blackberries. This diet had given 20

No BOOKS 1N THE CITY HOME.

1t is a surprising criticism of the City
Home at Verona, an institution other
wise we'll managed, that there is not
provided a library of books suitable for
the young. The general impression of
people has been that the City Home
was well equipped in that respect. The
City Home is a reformatory institution,
a school for the mental and moral
training of children, end a prime es-
sential of such training is good books.
A splendid library adapted to juvenile
tastes could be placed in the home.
The world is rich in juvenile literature
of the best kind. The use Of such
books in the City Home would have a
powerful influence on the future lives
of the inmates. If the city neglects to
provide the home with a proper library
private philanthropy might step in and
do 1t. A few hundred dollars would
purchase enough books to make a good
foundation for a library.

OUR rAr1orA11zED STATE GUARD.

As both Houses of the Legislature
have passed the bill making the State
Guard organization comply with the
Federal militia law, the State will re-
ceive the $4,000 of the appropriation
by Congress. Governor Stokes called
the attention of the Legislature to the
necessity for the act just passed, and,
of course, stood ready to sign it. The
State Guard will then have been placed
on a new basis of efficiency to CO.
operate with the regular army and to
constitute a real second line of defense
for the nation.
The principal object Of the Federal
law is to promote the training of
American youth in rife shooting and
make the National Guard organiza-
tons perfect in that respect. The good
results of the law are already mani
fest. and they will be very much in
evidence a few years hence, after all
the States shall have fully complied
with the law n established efficient
State organizations.

A BETTER AMBULANCE SYSTEM.

The necessity for an efficient public
ambulance system was dwelt upon by
the late Mayor Seymour and was dis
cussed on different occasions in Council
and elsewhere, but the city ambulance
service has not been improved. There
is only one ambulance for the City
Hospital and one for the police depart
ment, and neither is suitable. The
Grand Jury presentment shows that
they are sent out without doctors or
trained attendants.
The Essex Grand Jury is certainly
right in saying that a city of the size
of Newark has need for at least four
well-equipped ambulances, stationed in
different parts Of the city, and in
charge of trained men. Not infre-
quently it is a matter of life or death
whether a patient is promptly taken
from a place of accident and properly
treated and transported on the way to
the hospital. The city authorities may
be justly charged with manslaughter
in the death of a person through neg
lect to furnish proper ambulance IA
~cilities.
