TAINTED MONEY.

OF late it's been considerable amoosin to me.
The way noosepapers talkn about tainted money;
Et fust, couldn't tall undersan
Mr. anything so Almighty blamed funny
I knew tainted things usually had odor,
Butts far as knew, I've never hearn any one tell
That the few dollars crculatin' in r neighborhood
Had ever had any particular kind O. smell.
But one day meandered over to a law court,
sed: Il want to see how things done in here
WE'LL when left that great mill Of justice
The odor,of tainted money to me- very clear
Y'see when the rich sauntered up for his justice,
It took lots O time to make his particular kind;
But when the poor man stepped up the reckonin
He got the quickest made they could find
l went outside think the thing over;
gazed the buidin with it's high in the air;
But staggered on my pins all of suddnt,
As thought of that satoo up there.
Y'r see, way back in the dim dusty hasbeens
When they first started to this yearthly play
They fixed up bunch of Deity specialists,
Who in the show would have special say.
they had PANIED the jobs specialists
They found they'd good lookiD female left out,
So they just patched up job, called it Justice,
An bound her eyes tight with cou
They thought they had fixed her completely
So she could tell who twas receivn the dose;
They made her stand upon pedestal in silence
And the supplcant snt lowed to very close.
AS sed, this way back in the hasbeens
Since then the wmmin have grown mighty wise,
As most any obsarvant pusson en- tell you,
Some wimmin money without any eyes.
Now Justice would seem badly handicapped
She couldn't see, feel, taste mr. hear
But there her doing it's duty quite freely
So to me the matter seems toleraby clear.
And at last feel puaicky satisfied
That the rich mans money must smell;
For if it be otherwise pray tell me-
How is it that Justice can tell?

LETTERS FROM READERS.

To the Editor: r
In recent issue of your paper
there appeared an item in the local
column pertaining to an inmate
(Butch) buying a pipe, the
price appearing in print as
follows: 81 05, with small mar
gin between the one and the
nought. My attention was drawn to
the comma after the 5 by friend
the next day. I said: ut was a
slight mistake in typesetting,' and
my dissenting friend maintained
it was absolutely correct. 1t is
such an insignificant thing to argue
about. It brought several boys to-
gether who requested me to settle
it by writing you about it. Hop
ing my request will be granted, l
am sir,

So do the, remains of two other Indian countrymen, Tom Carr, an Engllshman. the father of Paddy Carr and Lame Bob Walton. Col.

These things are as fresh in, my memory as when they occurred--at least much more so than many things that have occurred since. I win close this by saying to you that wrote another letter to Colonel Pickett, trying to prove that I was better acquainted with Indian history than himself; but not knowing whether the first was published I decline send ing it, thinking 1t probable that they were getting too long and too uninter- esting for publication; and from my manner of writing I could give no sat- isfaction could give at all and have them much shorter.

IN INDIAN DAYS BROTHER
 MET BROTHER ONLY TO PART

 There was a detachment of soldiers sent out to Uches Creek to throw up a breastwork. was one of the party and among the rest there was a Bap- tist preacher by the name of Elisha Mosely. very sensible ana excellent man at that. and as brave as men ever get to be. for he could pray a1L night and fight all day. or pray all day and fight all night, just as it came to his turn to do either and this preacher was brother of Bob Moseley.l the In- dian countyman.
 While at this breastwork one night tist preacher by the name of Elijah Moseley inquiring into his brothers motives as to why he left his white family and 1made his home among savage Indians. Bob,s reply as well as now remember was that there was no false swearing among the In- dians.
 The History of ward.
 The preacher then commenced fnak- ing some inquiries into Wards history. Ward informed him that his father had taken him to the Creek Nation near where oweatumpka. or Wetumpka now stands, when he was child, shortly after which his father died: that nc recollects very little of his father, that he had been raised by Mcdonald or Me- Gillivray as he was commonly called; that he had heard McDonald say that his father was Georgian and that he had left . wife and family in that state. Wards history as far as it went soon became known to the camp, ana some one in the camp that had heard of Wards father quitting his family and disappearing with one of his child ren, and Knowing something of the Wards in Georgia, looked at John Ward and said, from near resem. bIance of him and the Georgia Ward they must be brothers.
 The Georgia brother was written to. and in a few weeks made his appear ance in camp one night. In this time the Indian Ward had fallen sick from exposures and was very low. The Georgia brother came into camp one night and the next morning. John Ward was corpse, though John Ward was perfectly rational when hts brother arrived and knew who he was. They proved to be twin brothers.
 A very intimate acquaintance or yours messed with me at that time and Ward frequently messed with us. Tt was Captain Arnold Seals of Ma con county, Alabama.
 The most feeling pulpit talk l ever heard dropped from the lips of Elijah Moseley that night in 8 soldiers tent on the death of John Ward. Ward left one son. John, though raised among the Indians, spoke our language very well. Johns mother was a TuskeEee. He was entitlea to half section of land
