THE FLUSH TIMES ON THE

- Mark Twain in "Roughing It.'" j
Somebody has said that in order to
know a community, one must observe
the style of its funerals and know what
manner f men they bury with most
ceremony. I cannot say which class
buried with most eclat in our "fliislr
times," the distinguished public bene
factor or the distinguished rough pos

divisions of society honored thoir il

great lamentation throughout the town

''On' the inquest it was shown that

somethingof a contrast to the pale

of Scotty, however, in
It is fair to say

had a warm heart, ajid a strong love
for his friends, and never entered into
a quarrel when he cju)d reasonably

monly said that whenever one of
Scotv's fights was investigation; it al
ways turned out that it had originally
been no affait of iTis,
but that out cf
native good-heartedness he had drop
ped in of bis own accord to help the
man who was getting the worst ot it.
He and Buck Fansbaw' were bosom
friends, for years, audi had often taken
adveuturous"pot.-luck'
itogether.On one
occasion they had
thrown off their
coats and taken the weaker
side in a

found that th8 men they were helping

had stolen their '.coats! and made off

"The which?"
"The spiritual advjser of the little

a moment, and then' said :

The obsequies were all that 'the

funeral pomp had never : been seen in
Virginia. The plumed hearse, the
dirze-breathing brass band3, the closed
marts of business, the flags 1 drooping
at half mast, the long, plodding pro
cession of uniform secret societies,
military battalions and fire companies,
draped engines, carriages of. lofHciaU,
and citizens in vechicles and oa foot
attracted multitudes of spectator to
the sidewalks, roofs and windows; and
for years afterward, degree of grandeur

with Back Fanshaw's funeral.
Scotty Brigga. a. a pall-bearer and

ascended, he repondel, in a low
voice, but with feeling : j
-Amen. ' No Irish need apply.

without apparent relevancy, it was
probably nothing more than a La table

He Is fully capab'e of filling the gub

to the! dear old common wealtb he so

to the political party whose principles
none tjave adhered to with more hon

but down on the seaboard his praise is
reverberated with an equal degree of
appreciation, aad j Jsorth Carolinians
