THE DEATH OF "OLE JOE"
The dark, drizzling rain, lowering
clouds and heavy atmosphere bring
back to roe so well the night so niany
years ago on which poor Ole Joe
breathed his last I say "Ole Joe."
.Such was he always called by erery
one, old and young, on the plantation,
I really believe.
Some of the negroes never thought
he was anything else than old in oth
er words, born old. From my earliest
childhood he was always the same.
'Tall and slightly bent with a shaking,
rheumatic walk, grizzly hair and beard.
It mar have been natural, it may have
been from respect to his old age, but
Ole Joe was looked up to by every oth
er negro on the place, and had a pe
culiar Way of adapting himself to any
.crowd he was thrown amongst. Be
was a favorite with all the children,
and had a knack of telling stories and
gesticulating that I have never heard
before or aince. It may not have been
what he said so much as the manner
in which it was related, but certain it
1 is that all : the children were tirni be
lievers in his stories, and looked upon
shim as something of an oracle.
For many "years everything glided
along peacefully, until my father's
death, and then what a change. Al
ways a kind master and good neigh
bor, his death was mourned by all.
"We had scarcely gotten over the shock
when, not long after, news was brought
4o the liouso that Arthur, an only
'brother, had been found dead on "the
iblgroad." It proved but too true.
Ho had received severe internal
.injuries, and died before help could
reach him. I will draw a veil over
the nest few years. Many changes
had taken place on the plantation, but
I will tell you about the death of "Ole
,Joe." He had been sick and decrepit
a long time, but no one had thought
.the end was so near. One day I was
busily attending household affairs,
when one of the women rushed in and
cried:
"O. Miss Hattie. do for de Lord's
' -sake come to Ole Joe. I jes know he's
dyin' out thar in the field."
I rushed out where he was, and
when I reached the spot he was Iyinr
on the ground. The negroes, paralyzed
with fear, were afraid to touch him.
His breathing wa9 faint and irregular
so faint, indeed, that it was hardly
perceptible. Giving orders to the men
vto take him into the cabin at once, I dis
patched one of the darkies for a phy
: aician and hurried to tho bouse to get
restoratives. These were administered,
;and lie had partially recovered wheu
the doctor arrived. 'After remaining
some time, and having given directions
,to Mammy Jane, who was to act as
nurse, he took his departure.
Before leaving, however, he told me
he thought Ole Joo's time was run, and
his death was only the question of a
lew hours. I went over to the bed
and sa t down by tho side of one who
had ever been such a faithful friend
and servant. As I sat there his eyes
opened and he gazed around the room
as one would after consciousness from
a long siege of illuoss. He looked at
me, then at the negroes standing
round, aud I saw that ho recognized
all. He spoke slowly and distinctly,
though with great effort. He said:
"1 bin tellin you a long time I was
gettin' feeble,, and now I tell you that
Ole Joo'll soon be gono. You've all
been good and kind chillun, and I's
mighty thankful. But, oh. Lord v. jes'
to think that I shall soon see Marse
Henry and Ole Miss and Marse Abe
and all the folks I's see buried on this
'ere place." And in his weakness and
excitement the tears rolled down
his cheeks. I gavo him the mediciue
prescribed, which seemed to ease him,
and left the cabin soon to return.
News was brought to the house that
lie was resting, and it was just before
sunrise that I went over again. There
was no change, except that his voice
had grown weaker, and lffs talk was
occasionally wild and disconnected.
Sometimes he thought he was in tho
field picking cotton. Again he was
hunting the fox with "Marse Hen
ry," and the old man would rise from
his pillow with his imaginary bridle.
Now he was joining in one ef the plan
tation songs, and never before had I
heard bU o!ca ralwd so rkr. K
h Aim ted from bl singing and panting,
be fell into a stupor from which we
tbonght be w.onld never rally.
It was nigh onto to It) o'clock when
the doctor came. lie said: "It is just
as I expected; he will be dead before
morning." When the negroes heard
this they began to wail and bemoan as
only negroes can. The women threw
their aprons over their heads. Telling
as though somo fearful calamity 'was at
hand. The contagion sooa spread
from cabin to cabiu. and for a whila
the plantation resounded with cries
and lamentations. Men and women,
no longer excluded from the room,
flocked in to take a last look at faith
ful Ole Joe alive.
He seemed to regain consciousness,
and spoke to them for the last time,
and even at this hour I could not but
notice tbat he spoke with the same de
liberation as of old. He said: "There's
one thing I want to ask. Bury me be
hind White Church whar nobody won't
pester me." He stopped a moment
and then went on: "i's mighty happy
to die. Just now I saw Marser, and
he say they's waitin' for me at the oth
erside uv de ribbcr. I ain't never
done no barm to any living crittur.
'Twasn't no fault o' mine that Jim (his
brother) tried to kill Jack Adams. I's
always tried to do what I thought was
right, and de Lord he ain't gwyia' tc
five me up. I wauts to die, for I's
ived long enough, and I tell ye it's
mighty poor to keep on wheu you can't
help nobody, aud is a burden on peo
ple s bauds." Here he seemed to lose
his breath, and was unable to say more
when he tried to.
' The death struggle did not begin for
several hours afterward. , I saw that
he was becoming weaker, and called in
some men to prop him' on his pillows.
The atmosphere in the room was close,
and I walked out into the cool night
air. The rain, which'1 had been falling
heavily all the evening, had now light
ened, and the trees lust shedding their
leaves, were sighing and moaning. A
doe back of tho barn set up a distant
howl and sooa others from a neighbor
ing farm joined in. Death soemed to
be in the air, and one could almost
hear him creeping along. Not daring
to remain longer outside, I went into
the cabin again. A first glance at the
bed told mo that tho grim monster
would soon claim his own. Olu Joe
was supported by two nion, and his
eyes, grey and glassy, wore already
fixed. His mouth was open and as my
haud passed in front of his face, I
felt bis cold clammy breath. I lifted
up one of his horny hands, hardened
from many years labor. All around
the nails was a circle of blue, and
the fingers were even icy. Looking at
his face, it seemed to have grown ages
older since the day before. There
were many wrinkles and furrows in
the hollow cheeks, and the eyes starting
in their sockets, were sunken much.
His nose was sharpened, and seemed
of a different hue from the rest of his
face. Happily, the struggle did jiot
last long. His tongue turned in his
mouth, one long, loud breath, and all
was over.
We buried him just as he had asked,
near Whito Church on the Ava'wla
road, and the three big oaks sing a
lovely anthem over his grav. Atlanta
Constitution.
HE'S A NEGRO PBOPHCT.
And Georgia People Think His Qnalnt
Observations Contain All Wisdom.
Smith vllle, Lee County, Ga.. boasts
a colored philosopher named John
Spradler. who is known to his ac
quaintances by the familiar title of
"Uncle." He makes a great many
startling and sensational observations.
some of which have been thought
worthy of a place in print. Here are
a few of his quaiut assertions from tho
Louisville Times:
I doan know ef dis worl' is a fren' to
grace or not, kase I know some folks
dot don't say grace at all.
l)e say in' is, you inns' make nay
while de sua s
nines.
en dat's why
dere'e sech a scarcity of hay. Folks
don't like de sun, you suo.
Religion is a great blessin'. but sum
folks have a call to plow, en' tink It. is
a call to preach. Dat counts for de
scarcity ob farmers 'mong de cullud
race.
I doan b'liere in findio' fault wid dis
heah worl', kase it's de best worl' I
I was ever in, an' it's a mighty long
wavs to de next one.
fie Bible tells de sluggard to go to
do ants, but some o' dese ants would
mek it so hot for him dat ho' bab to
git up and hustle.
It's a long lane what ain't got no
turnin', but tel; euro ho don't turn too
short and turn ' de wagon over. So
don't drive too fast. ,
Dis race question is mighty easy to
settle. Let de white man kep on be
iu' whito, an' de nigger blaek, an'
foller dc mule faithful, an' quit Ittatin'
rouud' de kentry, au' hit'll settle jis
like coffee. .
Wheu I see a man goin' home wid a
gallon oh whisky and a pound ob meat
I kpow dat dere's a peck ob misery to
ebery pound ob happiness in dat house
hold. Dero ain't no use in griovin' over
spilt milk, for ten to one de milk was
half water, an' deio's plenty mo' wells
in de kcatrr.
Wet Feet-
How often do we see people tramp
inf about iu tho ltiiiti, with shoes
soaked through; and how often do such
people when they return home sit down
by tho fireside and permit their feet to
dry. without changing either stockings
or shoes. Cau we then wonder at the
coughing and barking and rheumatism
and inflammation which enable the
doctors to ride in their carriages? Wet
feet most commonly produce affections
of the throat and lungs. and when such
diseases have onco taken place 'the
house is on lire," danger is not far off;
therefore, every one, no matter how
healthy, ought to guard against wet
feet. A". T. Ledger.

its passage, uutmere is uiue uouut

than for the great plain people of the
country. w
The address of senator xngaiis jusi
before the vote was good. e give an
abstract:
After alluding to the threatening evil
of an ignoiant, debased and spurious
suffrage, "contaminated bv the sewer
age of decayed nations, he said: The sec
ond evil to which he had adverted was
the yranny of combined, concentrated,
centializeu, conscienceless and incor
porated capital and the people were
considering tbat great problem. At the
beginning of the second century the
American people had become pro
foundly convinced that the ballot was
not the panacea for the evils of society;
that it had not abolished poverty nor
diminished Injustice. They had discov
ered that political couality did not re
sult in social fraternity; that under
democracy the concentration of greater
power in lewer lianas was more possime
than under monarcny. ueorre wau
ington, the, first president of the repub
lie, had, when he died in 1709, the larg
est nrivate fortune in tbe United States.
All nis oeionguigs reacneutHesum muu
of between $800,000 and $900,000. That
was less than a century ago. Since that
time the growth of wealth and numbers
in thn United States had no precedent
. . . . , . . i i.i i
in the building nations. The people of
(he United States form one third of the
world's mining, one fourth of its manu
far.tnrintr: one fifth of its farmintr. and
possess ono sixth of its accumulated
wealth.
He had read in tbe morning papers
of Sherman's speech, a considerable
part of which was devoted to the de
fense of millionaires. The people had
suddenly awakened to the conception
of the fact that the bulk of tbe property
of tho country was passing Into the
hands of those whom the senator from
Ohio called, by euphonism, the specula
tors of the country. These men had no
Eolitics but plunder, and no principle
ut the spoiliation of the human race.
It was no wouder the laboring and ag
ricultural classes of this country had at
last awakened and the speculators must
take warning. .
Referring to the late election he said
it was neither a republican defeat nor
a democratic victory. It was a great
uprising of the independents of and su
perior to both political parties. It was
a crisis that might become a catastro
phe; it was a peaceful revolution. He
attributed tho depression of the country
in a great measure to the demonetiza
tion act of 1873. He had not the slight
est doubt that the great majority of the
people, irrespective of party, were in fa
vor of the free coinage of silver, and had
been for the past fifteen years. Warn
ings and admonitions were plentiful in
this debate, but he would Bay to those
who were arraying themselves against
the deliberately expressed judgment of
the Ameiican people that tbore would
come a time when the people would Dot
be trifled with on this subjeot.
Only Half Bought.
It is announced that some of the rep
resentatives in some of our legislatures
are kicking like "bay steers," because
the railroads havo issued them passes
for only six months instead of for a year
as has been the custom. They appear
to think that this is only half buying a
representative. But these railroad peo
ple aro nothing if they are not sharp.
They never buy a pig in a bag, and they
do not often pay for a thing more than
it is worth. Unquestionably they have
concluded that a yearly pass is more
than a legislator is wortb. They are
willing to pay a fair price, and occasion
ally perhaps rather an exhorbitant
price for something that they want.
The railroads always want legislators.
They keep them in stock. Hitherto
they have been paying a yearly free pass
for a legislator. That cost the railroads
nothing, of course. Still the roads have
concluded that nothing was too high a
price to pay for a law-maker, and so
they cut it down fifty per cent. Hence
they pay one half 'less than nothing
now. Well that is enough. It will se
cure just as good service as though full
price had been paid. Stockman.
Dom Pedro's name in exile is plain Pedro

age than he did when governing his turbu
lent subjects in Brazil.

be heard quite as distinctly and as far as

NtW CAME PLATCO WITH LETTCPS.
Simple Cavagh for C:M14ra a4 DlflWals
Kgh fr QyyUar.
A new rame, which affords a good
deal of amuwment to many people,
ami also imparts iopsi4lcrablo Instruc
tion to the young in the formation of
words, is pUyeu in tue louowiog man
ner, with the letters of tho alphaoet:
Half a dozen sets of all the letters of
tbe alphabet are provided, each letter
on small piece of pasteboard or wood.
Oae nlaver then gathers all tbe lettera
V'fors him ou the tabio anu tue otucr
platers ait around tho table as at
cards. The player who has all the let
ters then turns them face downward
and proceeds to deal them out, one by
one, to the others, beginning wilh the
player sitting at his right hand aud
continuing around tho table iu order.
As be deals letter out bo turns it
fact! up so that all may see it is an "n"
for instance. Tho next player gets an
"o," suppose, and he quickly sees that
his letter, joined to the "nT' recoived
by the first playee. will form, tho word
"na." He announces the fact and
claims the "n." This is surrendered
to bim and he forms the word "no" on
tbe table in front of bim. and must
leave it there undisturbed until some
other player gets a letter which, added
to the word "no." will form some
other word. '
Suppose, for instance, that the third
letter dealt out is a "w." Then the
owner of the "w" may claim the word
"no." and adding bis "w" to it make
it "now." The fourth letter turifed
up mar be a "y," and the owner of
"now'f breathes a sigh of relief as he
thinks he will hold on to his word for
little while anyway, for the "now"
and tbe "y" don't seem to make any
thing. Perhaps seven letters follow,
out of which no combination can be
made which will spell a correct word,
until some one guts an "s." , This let
ter, in connection' with "how,,' will
spell "snow," but if the lucky owner
of the "a" is sharp enough he will also
claim the "y" from his other rival, and
pell "snowy."
The examples given here are sample
words, as tbey show more clearly to
young minds how the game may be
played easily, but when a number of
fetters have been dealt out the most
skillful spellers may find scopo for
their abiluiox. and many are tuo com'
linalions which wi'l ccr tho notiso
of all who are gutherod around tho
table, for a time, until some ono dis
covers them, as if by accident, and
then the wouder will be that they wore
not seen before.
One playtr may not claim from an
other auy letter or letters which have
been worked up into a word without
taking that whole word and using it
all, though iu letters may be entirely
transposed, to make a different word.
The range of words may wander over
half a dozen languages, if the players
so agree, aud then tho game becomes
difficult enough for a, Boston blue
stocking or a college professor.
. The winner of the game is the plnyer
who has the most complete words
spread out ou tho tablo in front of him
when the dealer has turned up the last
letter he has in his pile. Long words
count no more than short words, and
If two plajers "tie" they sot to work
breaking up their long words into
short ones, and this disposes of the tie
nine times out of ten. For a large
pumber of players a largo number of
letters is, of course, required, but two
people wilt often play the game for
hall an hour before exhausting a half
dozen complete alphabets. N. Y,

Campanlni'a Advloe to gingers.
"My advice to all singers Is: Do
sot Impose upon yourself and you will
r (reserve your voice," says Campanini,
n a striking articlo 'How to Train tbe
Voice,' in the November Ladies' Home
Journal. ' "Good health Is necessary to
keep a voice iu good condition. D ssi-
fiation of ny kind U of the greatest
njury to a voice. The vocal chords
ore very sensitive and susceptible, and
what affects the physical condition
will sooner or later affect them. What
regimen a singer, should follow de
pends upon the constitution. Some
singers can smoke continuously and
not suffer from the effects, while others
havo been seriously injured. , It is,
therefore, very hard to lay down auy
cast-iron rules and say that they should
be followed. What is poison, you
know, for some, is food for others.
"Again I must urgo young singers
to beware of trying to force their
voices; it is UHUgerous and means tho
early loss of the voice. Tho man who
builds an organ would not think of
having some ono try to play on it when
tho reeds aro not properly adjusted,
and in like manner the young singer
should not tax his voice unless lie is
prepared to stand tbe effort.
"Amateurs aud non-professionals do
not, of course, require tho long and
rigorous training of professionals. It
would bo a waste of time and money,
and while it might be a satisfaction to
tho young lady or young man.to have
a professional education, in a few
years, through luck of constant prac
tice, he or she would probably sink to
tho level of the perfuuetory parlor

Speaking of Gough, Mr.

said: "He was a great
orator and a
grand, noblo man, but ho was not s
master of himself. I remember oik
time when a man put some whisky in
a glass of soda water ho was about tc
drink. Just that taste was enough to
set the appetite afire within him, and
he went off on a protracted spree.
Very few people ever knew of this, but
the fact is related in one of his biogra
phies. When he came out of it 7 nevet
saw a man feel so in all my life. 11?

would never speak before an audience
again, and, if I remember rightly, he
canceled his engagements for the rest
of that ynr. Hi has told me many
times when passing saloons mounted

the beast's flanks and ridden for miles
at breakneck speed to get out of reaob
of the temptation." Cleveland Leader.
