BILL ARP'S FRIENDS. A Cow Gets Into the Garden. About Histories. More One hundred and fifty ( years ago old Dr. Johnsonsaid, "A cow is a very good animal in a field, but keep her out of tne garden " Late last night as the girls up stairs were going to bed and were closing the window blinds, they saw in the dim moonlight Bomething moving along in the garden, and sure enough it was cow our own cow ana sue was not far away from the rows rf English Dear that were in full bloom. The alarm was giv en, and my wife lighted the lantern, and with the girls, made haste to expel the intruder, Everything was wet, and, of course, I was not allowed to go. All 1 could do was to hold the lamp to the window and feel ashamed that I was sick and no account in an emergency like this. The cowboys in Texas never trotted around with more alacrity than did my wife and these cowgirls move after that cow. "Keep her away from the peas," cried a maternal voice And I echoed the speech of Pa trick Henry, who said, ltis vain to cry peas when there is no peas." The old huzzy ran by the crate three times and took the grand rounds with half a dozen calves visibleand invisible follow ing her, but finally gaveit;up and went out and was put in her pen. Old Aunt Dolly is our milk wom an, and declares she "fastened dat gate good,' but the cow and the garden says she didn't. But the garden has a gate, too, and I remember now that my wife told me in the morning before it rained that I might go out and cut the asparagus for dinner, and I did, and I reckon I left the cateorjen. "But all's well that ends well," and now there is peace in the family and peas in the garden. The world goes up and the world goes down. And the sunshine follows the rain: But 1'U bet that prowling nocturnal cow. Don't net In the garden attain. ble. Another mother wants a United States history that is reliable, and also a biography of Gen. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson. Write to Dr. J. Wo. Jones, Richmond, Va., the Chaplain of the Confed erate Veterans, the Historian of the confederacy, the grandest man now left, a beacon light, a synonmy of wisdom and truth, and the gifted author of the biog raphies of Lee, and Jackson, and Davis. And I rejoice that he has lived to give us a United States history that is beyond-the reach of criticism, and will, I hope, be adopted by every school in the South, and be found in every house. I rejoice that Ala bama has passed a bill for uni form text books, and trust that the governor will appoint a com mission that can't be bought. We know that in some schools in the South Southern authors have been displaced to make room for Northern text books and it was done with money. Money rules everything now, and exemplifies the truth of what Paul wrote to Timothy, "The love of money is the root of all evil." But there is life in the old land yet, even though an officer in a bank can steal a hundred thou sand dollars before he is found out, and even though athletics are now the most important part of a young man's education. Yes. there is lite in tne oici land yet, for we see that the boys over twelve years have an order they call the C. M. A., "the Com ing Men of America,' and they have already enrolled 00,000 and have 3,358 lodges established. They are backed by the best men in every community, and declare that they intend to be good men and patriots, and perpetuate this government in spite of the poli ticians. The last lodge estab lished is at McCombCity, Miss., and has been named for me, and I am proud of it. This move on the part of the boys is a hopeful sign, and now the veterans can die in peace. HILL AttP. A TURKEY FULL OF $100 $ILLS. Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but it is the protection of a garden, for al most every day the little grand children come up to see me and comfort me, and now they want to pick some strawberries and pull up some radishes, and I sa yes, of course, and they will leave the gate open, and it is my business to shut it, and they have an idea that I am just here for their pleasure. They always come hungry, for they know that grandma has got some apples or cakes hid away, and grandma will get them. Even the little two-year-old boy knows where the sideboard keys are hung, and which door has the good things inside, and he takes me by the hand and leads me there. A biscuit will do these children at home, but it won't here. We don't keep tavern, but our house is a free and easy place, and the children of the town know it, and soon Easter Sunday about 150 of them gathered here to hunt the pretty eggs, and it was a biu: frolic, and the mothers and aunts came with them, and it took twenty dozen eggs to go round, and every little tot got some. And they played games in the grove and tennis in the court, and we old people were happv because the children were, Almost every body, old and young, came to salute me as I played patriarch in the big chair on the veranda, and some brought flow ers and some brought fruits, and all brought smiles, and so it is not so bad to be old and sick after all. Every mail brings me good let ters, kind letters, from far away and unknown friends, and they give comfort, and I answer all I can: but I must tell the school children once again that I cannot write any more compositions or essays or debates, and they are , wasting their time and postage , to ask me. One young man wants my opinion on the immor italitT of the soul, as though I .

Davis, ex-register of deeds of the county, blew his head off with a breach-loading shot-gun. Early in the morning this young man, Davis, went in to the wToods for the purpose of killing squirrels. On his way home he procured some wine, and by the time he reached his father's house he was per fectly wild and acted as raving maniac. He rushed into the house, shot-gun in one hand and pistol in the other". He drew these weapons upon his father, and would have doubtless killed him had it not been for the inter vention of the boy's grandfather. Whereupon the boy went to the barn, caught a horse and mount ed him and rode off, cursing and abusing everybody he saw. He rode about half a mile to the home of Silas Greene. Mr. Greene's son saw the boy was perfectly wild and tried to pre vent him from killing himself, but before Greene could reach him, he placed the shot-gun with one hand on his forehead, and with the other hand he pulled the trigger, and the whole top. of his head was blown off. This was the most horrible suicide that has ever occurred in Mitchell county. Ashevule Gazette, J0th. Woman Receives It From Husband, Who Had Been Missing. . Morriston, N. J., May 9. Stuffed with $100 bills was a tur key that was received today by Mrs. E. C. Adams, from Mr. Adams, who had been mysteri ously missing for 1 1 months. The stuffings will be used to pay the passage of the Adams family to Sister Lakes, Mich., where the head of the house now resides. Adams, a carpenter by trade preferred to make a precarious living by playing a harp at dances. Last Thanksgiving eve times were hard with the Adams fam ily, and Adams picking up his harp said he would not return until he had a turkey for his fam ily. All trace of him was lost from that night until this morn ing when a turkey arrived by ex press and with it the following note: Sisters Lakes, Mich. "Dear Wife: I cannot bring the turkey to you as I am too busy, but you can fetch it to me and we will have a glorious old reunion. Kiss the babes for me and give love to Mother Fairchild.
