I at talking with the editor of
Southern weekly paper, when a tele-
rrrani was handed him, and after he
ha,l read it he handed it to me. It
was from a town seven miles away.
and read: "We have caught the nif
gcr; he lianas to-night. Hoys wil
wait for vou to come over."
"You Kt-H, explained the editor.
"they have got the nigger who shot at
Col. Dunbar over in Cassville, and
tliev won't wait to take the law on
him. I reckon I'll have to go over.
and I'd like to have you go along."
I was agreed, and a horse and hug-
rv were Lrouirht around and we set
out. When we reached the town it
wad about 9 o'clock in the evening.and
the prisoner was being guarded! in a
vacant room. 1 here were about sev
enty-five excited citizens around the
place, aud a noosed rope had already
been thrown over the limb of a shade
tree near by. We were duly weleom
ed, and were accorded the privilege
of an interview with the prisoner. V e
found him in a somewhat anxious
frame of mind, but cool enough to an
swerall questions.
"Now, then," began the editor, as he
pulled out his note-book, "what name
do you go by, and what part of the
unintry do you hail fromr
"Look, heah," replied the man,"doan'
vo folks make no mistake about dis!
IV.e not de pusson yo' want. I nebber
dun shot at nobody. My name am
Peter White, an I'ze dun libed in Glen
dale ober ten y'ars. Eberybody ober
dar knows me.
"Have vou made any mistake?" ask
ed the editor of the constable.
"Why, I reckon not. They fetched
him in and said he was the nigger we
wanted. Can't be no mistake, of
co'se."
"Yo' iest send to Mars James, Mars
Taylor, Mars Thompson or anybod
ele ober dar, an' dev'll tell yo' all
about me," protested the man.
"Do you deny shooting at Col. Dun
bar?"
"Of eo'se, I does. I didn't ehen h'ar
about it. I was hwntin' hogs in tie
woods fur Mars John Greenfield when
dey cotehed me. Doau' you dun make
no mistake!"
Ten minutes later all were fairly sat
isfied that a mistake had been made
Then a Glendale man arrived and set
tled the matter. They had got the
wrong man.
"Look here, boy," said the editor,
when the truth came out, "I've d rived
seven miles to see you lynched."
"Yes sah, but I can't help it."
"These men spent all day to get you,
and the rope is all ready."
"I know it, but I'ze innocent."
"Haven't you ever killed a man,
stolen a mule or fired a gun? Come,
now. own up like a man."
"Nebber, sah." firmly replied the
prisoner.
"Can't you remember of ever doing
anything for which vou ought to be
hung?" softly inquired the editor.
"No sah. I can't."
"This, you must know, is a great
disappointment to me and my friend
here. We shall have our drive of
fourteen miles for nothing, and I was
intending to make at least two col
umns of the affair. It seems too
bad."
"Yes. sah. but I nebber dun it."
"Anil you protest against being
hung?"
"1 does, sah."
"You must have at least done some
thing for which you ought to be
switehed stolen cotton, run oil a hog.
or something of that sort?"
"No, sah; I nebber did."
"It's a drive of fourteeen miles, vou
know, and the roads are bad."
Yes. sah; but you'll hev to 'sense
me dis time.
Well." said the editor, as we got up
to go, "1 m sorry thing-, have turned
out this wav. but I can t see that any
body is to blame."
We got into the bugtri nn l started
back. We had gone a mile or so be
fore the silence was broken. Then the
editor said:
"That just shows vou how infernal
ly obstinate a nigger can be when he
makes up his mind to it and wants
to get the better of a white man."

How Some t'hirasro Men l":ii! -jO Kuie to
Take I'icturt-s of a Hindoo' Triek.
"I have a good storv that involves
two Chicago tourists who .-it one time
were given to traveling in the orient
and taking kodak pictures of objects of
interest." remarked John Wrightwood
at the Palmer house, says the Chicago
Xrir.i. Mr. Wrightwood is a salesman
for an English house.
"The story was told by the victim in
a hotel in i aleutta. It seems that
thev wanted to take some views of the
tricks performed bv the Hindoo con
jurer ami had gone to a small village
lamed for its first-class crop of fakirs.
A conjurer of great renown was nb
ftiineil to -sit for views.' lie remark
ed that for 'Ji) rupees he would take
the amateur photographers to the cen
ter of a clearing ami give exhibitions
of his art. They could take all of the
pictures they wanted to.
"Accordingly they repaired to the
lawn and Mr. Hindoo took a ball of
twine from Lis robe. and. wilh an ex
clamation hi n native tongue, lie
burled the ball upward, high, high up.
in fact the two t'hieago jm-n thought
they saw it disappear in the clouds.
Tite end of the string remained on the
ground. -Now. cried t he fakir. -watch
caretully. 1 11 give jnu somet rung to
make pictures 0f." Ami picking up
his blanket, that he had previouslv
thrown upon the grass, he exposed a
little chubby baby boy, who laughed
and clapped his hands. Flash went
the kodaks. Then 1 he conjurer caught
up th child and placed him upon the
string. The baby clutched the line
rop and began to ascend. Again the
kodaks. I'p the sprite went, looking
like a Philadelphia Cupid. In the
cour.-e of a few minutes the hoy slid
down until he reached a point about
live feet from the ground. Again the
kodak. With a dexterous swing of his
arm the fakir hurled the baby beneath
the blanket, drew down the heavenly
'ladder. Liiihei and all wa.6 over.

The young man who hesitates to ac
cept or assume stations of responsibil
ity ana trust necause ol ins youthful
ness, and waits for the dignif v ir.sr and
solidifying influence of maturer years
w) in nun ror the position, is not a close
student of the lives of men who have
impressed ineir names on their coun
try's history. While older men shake
their heads and remark in half-complaining
tones that boys know more
than their fathers these flays, yet from
no source does the ambitious, deter
mined young man receive more cordial
encouragement and support than from
these same men who declare they are
being shelved for the boys. It is not
that youth knows more than age. lut
when a youth, buoyant with hope and
confidence.his vision undi mined by the
doubts and prejudices engendered by
long acquaintance with the world, his
ambition not withered by years of
dreary struggle for subsistence, his
heart full of love for humanity, and his
soul vibrant with the grand possihih
ties of life when such a youth, fresh
from study and with intellect well
stored, can mount at once to the point
reached by his father through years of
bitter experience, and from this vant
age ground begin the battle of life, he
is the better equipped of the two, just
as a "dwarf perched upon the should
ers of a giant can see. further than the
giant."
J hose youths who think young men
have not fair chance, and those
older men who think young men not
able to fill important stations, may
each learn a lesson from the record of
the past.
Henry Clay, says tho Atigus3
Chronicl?, wjus in the Senate of the
United States, contrary to the Consti
tution, at 21. Webster was in college
at lo.gave evidence of his great future
before ho was 25. and at 30 he was the
reer of the ablest man in Congress.
Charles James Fox was in Parliament
at 19. Martin Luther had become
largely distinguished at 24. and at 36
had reached the topmost round of hi9
world-wide fame. Peel was in Parlia
ment at 21. Napoleon at 25 command
ed the army of Italy. At 4') he was
not only one of the most illustrious Gen
erals of the time, but one of the great
law-givers of the world. At 46 he saw
Waterloo. Washington was Colonel in
th9 army at 22. President at 37. Judge
Story was in Harvard at lo, in Con
gress at 29 and Judge of the Supremo
Court of the United States at 32.
Gladstone was in Parliament at 22, and
at 24 was Lord of the Treasury. Wil
liam Pitt entered college at 14, was
Chancellor of the Exchequer at 22,
Prime Minister at 24, and when 35 was
the most powerful uncrowned head in
Europe. Uyron wrote "English Kara
and Scotch Keviewers" at 21, and
nnlilisried "Childe Harold" at 24.
Alexander Stephens weirtto the Legis
lature at 24 and Congress at 31. Henry
Grady refused a nomination to Con
gress at 32,and made his iNew England
speech, which gave him national repu
tation, at 36.
These instances are only cited to re
mind older men that the world has
ever been ready to give distinction to
young men who command it by their
abilities, and to show to young men of
brains and pluck that nobody is try
ing to keep them back. At no time
in the world's history has ability been
li?egarded because coupled with
youth, and never were there more
ioors open to young men than to-day.
