Let it Pass.
Be not swift to tnke ofTence
Let It pass!
Anger is a foo to sense !
Let it pass !
Brood not darkly o'er a wrong ;
Which will disappear ere long ;
Rather sing this cheery song
Let it pass!
Let It pass!
Strife corrodes the purest mind ;
Let it pass!
As theunresnrded wind.
Let it pass!
And vulgar souls that live
May condemn without reprieve;
'Tis the noble who forgive.
Let it pass X
Let It pass !
Echo not an angry word ;
Let it pass!
Think how oft .you have erred,
Let It pass !
Since your Joys must pass away
Like the dew drops on the spray.
Wherefore should our sorrows stay,
Let It pass !
Let it pass!
If for good you've taken 111 ;
Let It pass!
Oh, be kind and gentle still!
Let It pass!
Time at last makes all things straight ;
Let us not resent, but wait,
And our triumph shall be great;
Let It pass!
Let It pass !
Bid your anger to depart ;
Let It pass !
Lay those homely words to bear
"Let it pass!"
Follow not the giddy throng ;
Better to be wronged than wrong ;
Therefore sin the cheery song
Let It pas !
Let It pass!
BATTLE OF NEW OELEANS.
January Sllij 1815.
The abdication and banishment of
Napoleon Bonaparte, In the epriDg of
1S14, left England at liberty to send
her immense military forces against
the United States. Accordingly she
Bent an army of 14.000 men to aug
ment her forces in Canada a fleet of
fifty sail, with large land forces, to
ravage the Atlantic coast, aud to de
vastate and burn the border towns
aud later in the Bame season, a fleet
of 6isty sail, with 4 000 sailors and
marines, and an army of 12.000 men,
to invade Louisiana.
The Northern army wa9 slgually
defeated, and routed with great loss at
the battle of Plattshurgh.
The Atlantic fleet accomplished its
ol ject more disgraceful than service
able to the British arms. It made a
sudden and surprised attack on Wash
ington, burnt the Capitol, the Presi
dent's House, and all the public offi
ces and buildings, together witii the
public and historical archives, the
works of art and treasures of science.
The operations of the Southern fleet
and army it is our purpose to trace
moro definitely.
The anniversary of the 8th of Jan
uary, the chiefest of the holidays in
New Orleans, and one of the most glo
rious in the history of our Republic,
should not be suffered to pass by
without refreshing our minds with
the events which made it memor
able. The battle of New Orleans was
the last of that series of brilliant en
gagements which characterized the
bravery and intrepidity of the Ameri
can arms, both on sea and land, du
ring two and & half years of war with
Great Britain.
Louisiana at this time waB perfect
ly defenseless. She had iieen admit
ted as a Stateinto the American Union
the same year in which war was de
clared, 1812. New Orleans, the prin
cipal Southern cit3', had a population
of about 25 000. Half were slaves, and
many of the white population were
strangers, who had little interest In
the defense of the city. The British
Government calculated on an easy
and bloodless victory, still they sent
an army which they thought would
be equal to auy emergency, and in
vincible by any forces that could be
brought against them. The generals
and the armv destined for the con
quest of Louisiana wre selected from
Wellington's peninsular troops. Pa
kenhnm, Keene, Lambert and Gibbs,
with 12.000 land forces and a large
fleet, with ample munitions of war,
lauded at Cat Island, off the southern
coast of Mississippi, early in Decem
ber, 1814.
Gen. Jackson, who had been ap
pointed to the command of the South
ern forces, hastened with a few regu
lars to New Orleans, and there armed
and organized the militia of the city
and country. These, recruits, with
Coffee's mounted brigade, and Car
roll's Kentucky and Tenuessee mili
tia, amounting in all to less than 5.
000 men, were all the foroes that Jack
son expected or could obtain, with
which to meet the British army.
The Americau flotilla, on Lake
Borgne, consisting of five gun boats
and a small schooner, was captured
on the 15th. On the 23d, Gen. Keene
effected a landing, about 15 miles bp
low New Orleans, with 2.000 light
troops. Gen. Jackson immediately
determined to give him battle,
though but poorly prepared for the
encounter Carroll'B troops not hav
ing yet arrived.
It was dark when the action com
menced. With the regulars, the mil
itia, and two pieces of artillery. Jack
son attacked the front of the British
line; Coffee's men dismounted, and
the Mississippi dragoons attacked the
right wing, whilr the ship Louisiana
and the schooner Carolina did great
execution upon the left, near the riv
er. After a desperate conflict, in the
darkness of the night, by which the
apposing parties became mixed to
gether so that they could not distin
guish friend from foe. and after a Iopb
In killed and prisoners of about 300
on each side, ths Americans were
forced to retire.
The next day, the 24th of Decem
ber, Jaokion took up hit psrmautnt
BEOWNYILLE, NEBRASKA,
position on the plains of Chalmette,
about four miles below New Orleans.
The distance between the river and
the swamp at this place is less than a
mile. Here Jaoksou, without a mo
ment's hesitation, commenced to for
tify himself. A line of eartb-work
was thrown up from The river to the
swamp. All the energies of Jackson,
and of the brave men under him,
were severely tasked in constructing
this redoubt. On Christmas and the
days aud nights preceding and fol
lowing It, those valiant men toiled in
cessantly, every moment expecting
the attack of the enemy. The British
were strongly reinforced, yet they
hesitated to attack the American line.
They waited forPakenham and Gibbs
and all the army and artillery to be
brought up. Meanwhile, Jaokson
emp!o3ed every moment's delay in
strengthening hi" position.
On the 27th. the British destroyed
the Carolina by hot shot. But the
Louisiana was towed further up the
river, where she did good execution
till the close of hostilities. On the
28th, the British attacked the Ameri
cans ; but after a confliot of many
hours, they were forced to retire.
On the 4th of January, Carroll's
Kentucky and Tennessee militia ar
rived. Up to this time Jackson's
forces had numbered less than 3,000
men. At least one-half of the 2,000
additional troops were unarmed, and
many of them were unable to procure
arms, or to give any assistance to
their brave comrades in the trying
hour.
The 8th of January, 1815. fell on
Sunday. Perhaps the British thought
to surprise the Americans by making
the attack on this day. However this
may be, all their arrangements were
completed, and resolved to give bat
tle. Pakenham had arrived, and
fixed his camp with ail the formality
and ostentation which characterized
the movements of Braddock. The
whole English army, of about 12 000
men, with their nrtillery, fascines
and scaling ladders, were on the
ground. The plan of attack had been
civen out. Everything was now
ready. "Booty and Beauty" was the
watchword to which they marched.
Pakenham led in person. The artil
lery were on the British left, near the
river, while the main column, led by
Gibbs and Keene, was near the
swamp. Carroll's division opposed
them. The Kentucky and Tennessee
sharp-shooters soon threw the enemy
into confusion and retreat. In at
tempting to rally their broken col
umns, Pakenham was killed, Gihbs
mortally wounded. Keene and Lam
bert led on the second attack, but un
able to withstand that sheet of lire
which was poured upon them from
the whole American linpp, they re
treated in confusion. A third attempt
to lead back the discomfited troops
proved as fruftless and disastrous as
the other two. The British now made
a precipitate retreat.
In the evening, they hurried to
their ships, and speedily returned to
Cat Island, having lost 2 500 men.
American loss, soven killed and six
wounded.
Gen. Jackson is .still the hero of
New Orleans and Louisiana. They
hare at last done honor to his name.
A bronze equestrian statue, already
executed, we believe, by Mills, at the
expense of $25,000, has been placed in
the principal publfo square of New
Orleans, the old Place d' Armes, now
Jackson Square. The battle fields of
American liberty should forever con
tinue to be the resort of Americau cit
zens. Let monuments rise to point
out those sacred spots.
The Fish Commission.
Omaha Republican.
At South Bend, In Mr. Romine's
ponds, the fish commission have 200,
000 fish which will be distributed by
them throughout the State. The fish
are all California Salmon, brought
from California in October, aa eggs,
and were hatched by Mr. Rotnine. It
is expected that the young salmon
will be placed in the streams of the
State in lots of 5.000 to 10.000 from
each. The board desired counties to
orgauize local associations throughout
the State, and that these as
sociations would appoint local
commissioners, who should look
to placing the swimmers in
the Btreamq and keep a record, so
far as possible, of what becomes of
tbem. This was not done because of
the uncertainty of procuring the fih,
but by another year these local bodies
will nrobablv be organized. The
present lot will be distributed by the
members of the State board in person,
aud a plan for the accomplishment of
this purpose will be agreed upon to
day. The commission has made a
eood record for itself thus far and bidB
fair to make the $500 appropriated by
the last legislature a very profitable
Investment for the 8tate. The board
will at once take measures to procure
a large quantity of other varieties of
fish, whioh will be batched next
spring and distributed likewise.
From a study of the action of tea,
Mr. W. J. Morton has arrived at
these conclusions: As with any oth
er drut;, there is a proper and on im
proper use of it. In moderation it is
a mild aud harmless stimulant. Its
immoderate use leads toserious symp
toms, such, as headache, vertigo, ring
ing in the ears, tremulousness, ner
vousness, exhaustion, irregular action
of the heart, and dispepsia. Many of
the symptoms of excessive tea-drink
ing are such as may occur without a
' insploi
on of the real cause.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 22. 1880.
Management of the State Fair.
Bloomlngton Argns.
The question Is being passed around
"How can we increase the interest
and usefulness of the Stale Board of
Agriculture?"
Our answer Is Bring it nearer to
the parp'e; enlist the co-operation of
the local eooietea of the State; make
them auxiliaries of the State Board,
and through them reach the people
so managing the relations between
these bodiea that it shall be the rule
for every county society to select and
send to the State fair the cream of
their own exhibitions. Pay the sec
retary of the board a salary that will
command his whole time, and then
require him to devote it solely to the
service of the society; nake it one of
his duties to place himself in commu
nication with every county and dis
trict organization in the State, and 6o
far as practicable meet with them.
Let him prepare an address on the
management of agricultural sooieties,
and demonstrate-the advantages to be
gained by co-operating with the State
board. Impress upon them that they
are entitled to a voice in the manage
ment of the State board, and that
their president is ex-ofiicio a member
of it, unlesB they especially elect an
other to fill the office, aud urge them
ro see that the duties are properly ful
filled. Urge them to provide for a
committee to take charge of such pro
ducts as may be furnished for exhibi
tion at the State fair, where the ex
hibitors are not able to attend in per
son ; show the importance of collect
ive diplays, and stimulate a friendly
rivalry between counties. To further
enlist the interest of local societies,
let him, as far as practical, select his
assistants-from among their secreta
ries. This will not only tend to arouse
an interest among those intended to
be benefitted, but it will also serve as
a school for these local secretaries
where they can gain valuable practi
cal knowledge that would be applied
in the management of their own so
cieties. It would also extend the ac
quaintnnceof the representative farm
ers of the State, and beget a desire to
meet each other at the stated gather
ings of the board.
Let the board of managers further
consider ways and means of cheap
ening the attendanceat the State fair.
The average farmer from a distance
cannot afford.j'ailroad fare, gate fees,
bus fares, and board at transient rates
for himself and family. Pleasurn
seekers find enjoyment in a camping
trip in the woods; religious societies
gather at camp meetings from all
parts of the country for services; and
we can see no good reason why a State
agricultural camp meeting is notprac
ticai. If it was fashionable, the at
tendance would be greatly increased.
The board of managers should at once
take measures to popularize it.
The board should realize that there
is something to. be done on their part,
besides simply making the ends of
the year meet. G. H. Walker.
Tor the Merchant.
We claim the right to make plain
suggestions iu regard to any evil ex
isting in our community. We deaire
to aid every honest man in bU en
deavors to make an honest living.
But in our dailyMvalk and conversa
tion we find a cVass of individuals
who try to make usbelieve we work
against "their interests." One mer
chant says, "You want to wipe out
the saloons and injure our trade."
This statement will serve as a fair
sample of the belief of two or three
merchants who are constantly losing
money by their drinking customers
spending their cash at the saloons in
stead of p'aying dry goods and grocery
bills. These men look on the selfish
side; still we ask, Where is the rea
son for the belief that the whisky
trafflo in a town increases the dry
goods or grocery trade? If a man
comes to town with $20 in his pocket
and is a liberal "drinking" man, he
will spend it before he starts home.
That may be true. But where will he
j)cndit? That is the question. If
our obervntious are correct he will
leave three-fourths of it with the rum
sellers and Gamblers and then cut
down the wife's grocery bill to fit the
pittance he has left, and sneak off to
some store where he has no bill
against him, and buy his goods, so as
to avoid the friends who have before
let him have goods on time. Thee
"popular"' drinkers are liberal when
excited by whisky, but it is a poor
kind of liberality. It helps the rum
holes and .gambling-dens (whioh are
usually inseparable attachments) and
every legitimate, business suffers in
the same ratio that the saloon pros
pers. There is a certain amount of
money in circulation, antfall business
men are after it. But'lf dry goods
and grocery. merchants- want to ink
crease their trade let them aid in ed
ucating the masses to industry and
thrift, to olothing themselves better,
and to eating wholesome food, and to
become healthy ciiizens, safe and per-
manentcustomers. For tho man who
takes poison down his throat every
day cannot last long as a paying cus
tomer, for drinking leads elowly but
Riirelv to novertv and raes. The moat
profitable customers are those who
tivo thp longest far tiiev must have
certain amount to eat and wear every
day. Suit on Qlobe.

"They Say.
A more eneakhig, cowardly, fiend
ish liar than "They say" does not ex
ist, says the Canada Farmer. That
personage is a universal scapegoat for
personal gossip, envy and malice;
without form of flesh and blood, when
invoked, aud yet stalking boldly in
every community. The character Is a
myth and yet real; intangible, and
clutching its victims with remorse
less power. It is unseen, and yet from
Its exbauatless quiver wings its poi
soned arrows from day to day. And
no mail is proof; no character, posi
tion or sex escapes ; no sanctuary Is
too saored ; no home ib bulwarked
against its assaults. When one base
heart wishes to assail some person's
character or motives. "They Bay" is
always employed. That is the assas
sin who strikes in the oloud the
Thug who haunts the footsteps of the
offender, and tortures from oareless
word or deed, an excuse for the Btil
elto. Men dare not alwayB reveal their
own feelings. With smiles and pre
tended friendship they present the
envenomed Bhaft aa coming from
"They Bay." Be Btire, reader, that
when some villainous tale is told you,
and the relator cannot give an author
more tangible than "They say" for it,
that the slanderer is the creation of
the heart by your side, and reeking
with the poieon of envy and hatred,
and earnest with a wish to have the
falsehood of "They say" bud into re
ality, and become current coin in the
community.
"They say" we repeat, is as cow
ardly as it is false and fiendish; a
phantom creation whichsmiles, while
letting loose a brood of vipers to
crawl in your path, and blast by their
venom. To retail the stories of "They
say" is to sneak behind an intangible
personage and put in circulation the
infamous inuendnes and calumnies,
which, from raw material, are forged
nearer home.
The Bloody Shirt Boom.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Sun :
Is it not desirable, before all is lost,
tiiat the lenders of the democratic par
ty should look the situation squarely
in the face?
The convention of 1804 declared the
war a failure, and wont to the country
with a platform demanding peace.
The least intelligent of the demoorats
admit that controversy on their part
at this time us to the right or the
wrong of tho war would be auioidal.
The unparalleled genius- for evil
that belongs to bourbon leaders extri
cates tho stalwarts from their unhap
py condition, places their leaders aud
their issues in the front for the cam
paign of 1880, makes the bloody
shirt their inevitable ensigu, and
giveB them almost a certainty of tri
umph if any democrat is nominated
who voted with that party during the
war.
At least one-fourth of the republi
can party of the north are opposed to
a third term, especially with a milita
ry man as its representative; but the
folly that has characterized democrat
ic ascendency in the house and sen
ate, chiefly attributable to blatant

mad with the presidential mania on
the other, has enabled the stalwart
leaders to. make theni dread a demo
crat of the bourbon type with a dem
ooratio war record even more than the
third term or military ascendency.
Bantams.
There are quite a variety of Ban
tams. They are ornamental, attrac
tive, and at the same time useful ;
their jaunty oarriage, their Independ
ent air as well as their small size
makes them objectB of unusual atten
tion by all classes whether in towns
or the country. Many a person who
has merely a neat little yard In the
city might derive much pleasure from
a small flock of these little beauties,
while the pleasure and gratification it
would afford to the ohildren thereby
would go far toward making home
and its eursoundings both attractive
and happy. Bantams are very easily
raised, and consume but a little food,
while many persons just recovering
from an attack of sickness would rel
ish one or two Bantam'a eggs, when
larger ones would not be relished lu
the least, even if eaten. A house for
the bantams can be very easily made
from a dry goods box, and by using a
little enginuity it can be made very
neat and attractive; or you can build
a little house with a fancy roof and a
nine run in front of it that when
painted will be an ornament to any
lawn. In making such a house it
should be made light, bo as to be
moved from place to place and not in
jure the lawn. Ex.

Preserving Eggs. The Backer-
und Couditor-Zeituug has put to a
practical test a system of preserving
eggs which has been lately recom
mended, and finds it to answer ex
ceedingly well. On March 27, of last
year, the egga were placed for an hour
in a solution of 50 grammes of saiioy-
lie acid aud a little spirits of wine, di-
luted with one litre of water, and
a afterward nacked away in hran in
the cellar. At the end of June they
were found in perfect condition, and
as well flavored as if just fresh-laid.
Autumn-laid eggs thus treated should
keep good for a muoh long'er time, aa
tbey would have all the advantage of
colder weather in their favor. Lon-

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
The Indiana Colony.
Special Telesram to the Inter Ocean.
Washington. Dec. 26 Two of tbe-
men who are wanted by the Voorbeea
Committee, to investigate the politi
cal significance of the negro exodus,
are now in Washington. They are
Samuel Perry and Taj-lor Evan,
who have had charge of the-, exodus
from North Carolina. They say that
the movement of the negroes to the
Weat is conducted according to a reg
ular system ; that they have found
horn a in Indiana for 665 people so
far, and are promised homes for 200
more. Perry has just returned from
Indiana, and says that the farmers
about Terre Haute want sixty fami
lies, and in Rockviile fifty families
will be given work and good wages.
They have made an arrangement by
which the through fare has been re
duced to $16 from Goldsboro to In
dianapolis, and in order to prevent
the BOheme from, getting luto bad, or
der, tbey will not hereafter admit to
their colonies any persons who are
not ableto'pay their fare. Perry
eayB that the party that was here re
cently in such an Impecunious con
dition waB not under their care. He
claims to allow ncne but intelligent
and industrious negroes of good hab
its to Join the colonies, and will not
find places for any man he cannot
recommend. Both Evans and Perry
are school teachers and preachers,
and tbey claim that their object is to
remove at least a part of their race to
a country where they can Improve in
their moral and social condition.
They intend to canvass the State of
Indiana for placea and hope to take
5,000 people out there during the
uext six mouths. They take out
none who are not provided for with
labor in advance, and do not expect
any opposition from the peoplo of
Indiana. The greatest demand is for
house servants, and Perry says he
could find places for 5,000 women if
they were educated up to the North
ern system of domestic economy, but
he does not thiuk a North Carolina
plantation cook would suit an Indiana
mistress.
A Fearful Dream.
The editor of the Stamford Advo
cate dreamed that he was dead and in
another world. He approached the
city before him and knocked for ad
mittance, but no one auswered his
summons. The gate remainsd closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for
an entrance, but the only response
was scores of beads appearing above
the wall on the other side of the gate.
At the sight of him the owners of the
heads set up a dismal bowl, and one
of them cried: "Why didn't you
notice that big egg I gave you ?" At
this horrid aud most unexpected in
terrogation the poor local turned in
the direction of the voice to learn its
owner, when another voice shrieked :
"Where's that piece you were going
to write about my soda fountain?"
and close upon this was the awful de
maud: "Why did you write a piece
about old Tomlinson's bens and nev
er sneak of mv new gate ?'' Whatev-
rer Miis-vnrr no- iro gnif-w xmiuo xir
this appeal was cut short by the as
tonishing query: "Why did you
spell my name wrong in the pro
gramme?" The miserable man turn
ed to flee, when he was rooted to the
ground by these terrible demands:
"Why did you put my marriage
among the deaths?" Ho was on the
point of saying the foreman did it
when a Bbrill voice madly cried:
"You spoiled the sale of my horse by
publishing that runaway." And an
other: "If I catch you alone I will
lick you for what you Bald about me
when I was before the police court."
Another: "Why didn't you show up
the echool question when I told you
to?" And this was followed by a
voice of a female hysterically ex
claiming, "ThiB Is the brute that
botched my poetry aud made me
ridiculoual" Whereupon hundreds
of voices screamed : "Where is my
article? Give me back my article."
And in the midst of the horrid din the
poor wretch awoke, perspiring at ev
ery pore and screaming for help.

OFFICIAL PAPER OFTHECOUXTY
1 Countryman's Wild Leap From a
Moving Elevator
Two. men from Illinois farmers,
apparently, sturdily built and ordinar
ily intelligent entered the St. Louis
Republican office the other afternoon
about 3 o'clock, and, before tbey left,
one of them had. ereated a sensation
of a decidedly startling nature and af
forded one of the most striking illus
trations on record of extreme suspic
ion and simplicity.
The men said that they wished to
look through the building, and wera
told that they would be- taken up
Balra upon going to the elevator, the
location of which was pointed out to
tbem. One of the men entered the
elevator, but the other, for son, reas
on, stayed outside. The boy in
obarge of the elevator closed the door
and pulled the rope, starting the thing
npward. Aa the elevator began ris
ing, the man inside leaped to his fest
glared about him in terror, aud yelled
out, "My God, where am I going?"
He hesitated but an instant. The el
evator was moving slowly, and the
transom over the door way was still
visible. In a desperate endeavor to
escape, the terrified man threw him
self at it head-first, at the same mo
ment that the boy, with rare preaenoa
of mind, jumped to the rope and re
versed the movement. The action
was just in time; the ascending ele
vator caught the passenger's head be
tween its floor and the casing of the
transom, and pinched it slightly be
fore the movement was reversed and
the bead released. Then the man
jerked back and, aa the descending el
evator showed the glass window In
the door beneath, ho again plunged
forward, head first, and went through
like a cannon-ball, striking at length
on the floor of the hall leading to the
street amid a mass of broken sash and
shattered glass. Then quick aa light
ning the terror-stricken being bound
ed to his feet and out of the hall and
up Chestuut Street like the wind, fol
lowed by bis only less Urrifled com
panion who had dashed nut into the
street at the first yell from the eleva
tor. The alarmed countrymen were fol
lowed, and at last the man who had
leaped through the window was in
duced to come back and be convinced
that the danger he had fled from was
imaginary. He was taken to the ele
vator and its use explained to him,
but he could not be persuaded to make
a trip iu It. He explained that when
he stepped in be had no Idea that be
was going to be "elevated," evident
ly thinking the place but the en
trance to a stairway. When the ele
vator began moving be thought he
had fallen into one of the murderous
traps pf a great city and was being
taken up to be murdered, or robbed,
or dissected, or to undergo some ex
perience equally horrible he did not
know what. It was in vain that an
effort was made to detain him about
the place for any length of time. His
back hurt him, he Bald, and he went
away, pallid, but wiser. The whole
occurrence waa something astonish
ing. Edrrln Forrest's Chivalry.
VWWMl
character made him at all times the
ready champion of the weak and de
fenseless. He waa especially chival
rous in his conduct to women. This
one instance is a sample: He waa re
turning from New York after a suc
cessful engagement in that city, and
seated opposite him in the car were
two young ladies. They were
traveling without male escort. "When
the oars stopped at Newark a person
entered and took a Beat immediately
back of the ladies.
He waa of the loud class, full of
paate jewelry, impudence and bad
manners. The latter waa soon pain
fully apparent with reference to the
ladiea. He iudulged in offensive lan
guage, and seemed to think the whole
matter was a good. joke. Iu a shorS
time the language and conduct of the
man and the evident distress of the
ladies arrested the attention of Mr.
Forrest. He left hia seat and, facing
the obnoxious passenger, said :
"Will you please vaoate your seat?
You are offensive to thes6 ladies."
"Guesa not," replied the man, with
the coarse and rude expression of a
bully and a ruffian ; "I have paid for
my ticket, and will sit where I please.'
"But," answered Mr. Forrest, and
the color mounted to his cheeks,
"your ticket does not give you the
right to insult ladiea. That you have
dene, and I will give you five min
utes to vacate the seat and the car. If
you prefer to leave both by the win
dow, remain, and you can be accom
modated." Mr. Forrest then drew his watch
from his pocket and buttoned his
coat. The ruffian took anothergiance
at the determined eye and stalwart
frame of his opponent, and with mur
mured threats of vengeance left the
car. The ladles had no further an
noyance from him.
This ia an autbentlo anecdote of
one whose whole life waa, in many
respects, a romance.
"Moses waa an austere man," read
the minister from the Bible. "Dar,
now, you hear dat, Sam?" exclaimed
an old darkey; "deSoripturesaysdat
Moses was an oyaterman, an' you ben
flinging at me dat eellin' oyster
wasn't a 'speotable bizziness. Ef it's
good enuff for Moces, It's good snuff
for mi."
