It. is a- rreat treat at our house when Tip cornea over to pee us. He is looked upon as one of. i the fainilv who, has etraynd otf like some of our other (frown up children. He was born my wife's property ana grew up in her family nlaved and frolicked with brothers and was alwnys fill and kind and good. Tip brought his bride with him this time his second wife a trood looking old fashioned middle aired woman, for Tip has got sene and judgment and wouldent tie himeeit onto a snrintr chicken in his old age. He was dressed in a blact frock ' -coat and white vest, and strutt ed around like he was going to fiaratotra on a bridal tour. One of my wife's brothers wasjtiere, and Tip was uaexpecteaiy lunnv: for lie hadeut seen him t-1 j ' for yearn. . Howdy 'Mars. Charley ; how dy Mi-s Tavy ; howdy Mars liandulph ? , I is go glad to see you. How does you all do?" and he then took all the child ren by turns and lthey were as glad to see him as if he were a brother. That night the children want ed to know how Tip eot his little short name, and their mother told thein as how old General Harrison fought a great battle with the Indians away back in 1811 and how it was fought near the little town of Tippecanoe on the Wabash riv er and the Indian chief wa3 a brother of Tecumseh and was called the prophet and General Harrison whipped them and scattered them so bad they nev er rallied, and so this gave hiin great reputation and made him president in 1840 when lie ran against Van Buren. The politi cal war crv was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too," and as our Tip was born about that time and wanted a name his mother nam ed him Henry, but the boys named him Tippecanoe just for fun and so Tip is his everyday name and he keeps Henry for Sunday. A nick name is very hard to get rid of. ' I know some boys who are very close kin to us who are still called Fits and Tuney aud Isham and Pat and Snooks and Dock and Jake, but those are not their real names. Some of the old time negroes , had very classic, stylisu names such as Qezar and Fompey and Yiril,and Jupiter and Juno or puch Scripture names as .Mofces and Aaron and Noah and Solo mon aud Dinah. The ruaster.s generally namea tne young ne groes. - "Papa, did you ever whip Tip when he was a boy ?" asked Jesse. "No, my child, no, lip nevei needed apy whipping. Tip was just as good as he could be con sidering that he was always trotting around after pur oldest ; boys and had to do what they told him. I had to whip them . sometimes but Tip was the best in the lot and never did any ' thing worse than get up a dog fight. No, I never whipped Tip, but I had to whip some cfi the other servants occasionally, for I the old boy-gets into negroes I sometimes just like he does ; into white folks. He is no re ppecter of persona or colors and had just as leav e burn a black man as a white one. But I will say this for our negroes they were all mighty good to our children. They nursed eftiven out of the ten and watched them by day ' and by night. Frauces and Mary loved them and would have fought for them like a tigress for ner whelps and the children loved their black mammy better than they did their mother. Many a time have I seen your mother try to coax her chid to come to her from the nurse's arms.: "When theyankee raiders rode in Jo Covington and, took' everybody by surprise your mother and six children were there and Frances was out in the street with the youngest in her arms and they stopped as she ran and said to her, "You black fool you, what are you carrying that white child for ; don't you know you are free ?" "Don't keer if - I is," said Frances, "I is gwine-.to carry de chile jchile can't walk." f. "Whose child, is it?" said tlie yankee. "My chile, whose chile do you rec'on it is," aud she drew the little thing still closei to her bosom. Aud during the war while I was in Virginia Tip was with me and waited on me like a brother and took care of me when I was sick and the negroes at home helped your mother to manage and to get something to eat and to wear and wood to burn, for confeder ate money wouldent buy much of anything and it took close management to get along. The old clothes had to ber patched .before and behind or ripped up and made over, and by and by when the coffee was i all gone Mary parched some rye or dried erweet potatoes and made out like it was coffee and when the sugar gave out she huntsd up some sorghum for sweetening, and when the salt gave out and there was no more to be had she boiled down the dirt in the smokehouse that the meat had been dripping on for years and made salt out of it and clarified it. and dried it in the sun and it was as fine and as white as any table salt you ever saw. It was nip aua tuck then with every body but they never qomf lain- ed. Just before the war closed we run out of most everything. x our mother gave a ten dollar confederate bill for a table spoonful of castor 'oil - and twenty dollars for a pound of sugar and a hundred dollars for half an ounce of quinine. I paid a hundred dollars for five bush els of corn and had i to send twenty miles , to get it and I kept it hid out five miles from town for fear some! of the tramps and deserters would rob me aud get it. I had it ground into meal half, a bushel at,a time and it was more precious than gold. In December 1864 I gave three thousand dollars for a little chunk of a cow just to provide milk for a sick child. There were not more than half a dozen in the county ;then. "borne of you Children never saw any candy or nuts or raisins until you were several years old. 1 remember that alter the war was over Mr. Snooks-came to Rome with a nice litttle stock of fancy goods, and ; he gave your mother some raisins for the children, and she took them home .and they were afraid of them, and asked her if they wexe bugs.' 3Ir. Snooks was mighty clever and kind to our little rebs. lie is the same man who has grown so rich in At lanta selling furniture, but he hasent cut his old 'acquaint ances yet, and I don't reckon ever will. 1 -"Well, what made jlp leav6 us all," said Carl. t Why because he had a large family of his own to look after. They dident belong to me old man White, a good old Scotch man, owned them and support ed them, and now that they were fiee and he-was dead, Tip had to knuckle down to it to maintain them, and he did it. up nad a good trade and was handy, an.d everybody liked him, and so he has piospered, H nen General Sherman run us all out of Home, 'Tip took charge of the runagee" business He left his, wife and children for a time and went with us to Atlanta, and I then : sent him back to see after his folks, and the yankees took himi up under suspiciou, aud made him join a company, and he , got, detailed as a cook, but he dident like their sort of folks, and so one dark rainy, night he passed the guards and swam the . Oostan aula fiver and went .down the Alabama road about ten miles and swam the Coosa, and he hid out by' day and traveled by night, until he; got back to us aain. Then he run with your momer ana ine cnuaren away down below Columbus, and hid them out in the piney woods, but the yankees got; so thick and devilish, they ruri again and got round tp Covington and thence to Madison, :.and then took roundance on the yankees ana nancea tne wnoie concern and settled down away up on the Chattahoochee. You see, I was on duty in Macon, and so up naa to De general manager and foot scout for the. family, lour motner nad as much con fidence in him as sberiid in me, and maybe a little more, for he had belonged to her about ten years longer than I ;had. We ran away from Rome about mid night ; that is we started to run, but got blockaded on the street anu couian t go iorwards nor backwards, nor sideways for the soldiers and the army wagons, We never crosed the bridge un til day was breaking, and all this tlma old Sherman was tos sing his shells over in the town just for his own amusement. We turned the bridges behind us and felt easy for awhile, and jogged along down to Silver creek church, and - stopped "to make coffee and take; a bite of cold vittels, and while we were thanking, the. good Lord for letting us get away, some scat tered cavalry came l galloping along and said the yankees had crossed the Coosa down below Rome and were coming to head us ofF. So we let the hot coffee burn its way down, and we eat the cold vittels on the run and never stopped any nkbre until we got to Euharlee creek. We stopped to rest and from labor to refreshment, and felt thank ful, but Tip had hardly un hitched the horses before some more cavalry came charging by and said the yanks: were not more than five miles behind.. We bounced the big road again and Euharlee bridge fairly danced z$ we flew across just oehind Uili ltamaev, ana we never slacked up until we got to Mr, Whitehead's at the foot of the mountain. Your mother and Mrs. Anderson and the girls all bunked in one little room in the house and we men and boys tried to sleep in a great, big wagon bo fly under the wagon shed, but the fleas everlastingly eat us op alive, and we took to the bushes and threshed the fleas out of our clothes and then laid down in the piazza. Next night we made a camp not far from old DeFoor's ferry on the Chattahoochee, and Tip went to a house near by for water, but the bucket wa3 gone and the folks said their well wouldent furnish water enough for every body that was running from the yankees. But Tip - begged enough to do us and after awhile went back there to bor row a skillet and the old wo man was washing her feet in it and said lie could have it when she got through. Tip seemed to be m a hnrrv and couldn't wait, and so he cooked our meat on the coals. That night after we had laid down the little boys took on so about their flea bites that your mother told me to rub them with some sweet oil that was in her basket and so I fumbled around in the dark and found a bottle and rubbed them all over wherever they scratch ed and next morning found out it was syrup of ippecac. But it is good for flea bites, sure, les, we had a high old time running from old Sherman, and we beat old Joe Johnston a fair race to Atlanta. "Papa," said Carl, "was it right for you to own negroes and make them work for yon." "Of course it was. my boy. I would own some right now if I had my way. There are lots of them who ought to have a master. Don't I own you. But I wouldent own them aa they used to be owned. When they are old enough to take care of themselves and behave them selves, and live by honest work they ought not to be owned any longer. They ought not to be sold nor their families separat ed. I never separated families, but I bought negroes to get families together. The negroes owe to the white people all the blessings they enjoy. It was slavery that civilized them and trained them to good habits. Their ancestors were all bar barians. They eat raw meat like does and eat human flesh Some, years ago I was in Colum bus, and saw some of the native Africans that were brought over in the Wanderer. Col Mott had them working in his garden. He was teaching them to work with tools and to speak our language. "They looked more like babboons than human beings. In a year or bo they became civilized and made good servants and were content ed and happy, and their child ren crrew ud like decont folks Tt was a blessing to them and their children that their par ents were stole away from Africa. It is the very best way to civilize them, and if 1 was ' a fanatical fool, like some of our Northern brethren, and wanted to do the negroes all the good I could I would abolish the laws against the slave trade and get every one over here that I could It would beat all the missionary work that has ever been done. But we tioh't want any more down South. There are enough here uow. Let our Northern brethren try it awhile and see how they like it. .Why, these negroes here ought to send or ero over to Africa and bring a lot every year and own them and put them to work and civil ize them. JSo, my children, there was nothing in slavery that you need be ashamed of so far as my part of it was concerned. The truth is, I belonged to Tip. about as much as Tip belonged to me. He was one of the fam ily and that was all. But if I had my way and was to come across a barbarian I would do like Robinson Crusoe did his man Friday I would take charge of him and tame, him yes I would. - Bill.

Very respectfully, L. W. THOMPSON. Senator Quay is m a very nuaniiable mood nowadays, and not a little of his humor is caused by the persistance of the Hon. Levi P. Morton in makiDg himj spend thousands of dollars in endeavoring to carry North Carolina for the Re publicans. According to a mem ber of the National Republican Executive Committee, this has been the burden of Mr. Morton's song every since the beginning ot the Campaign. Mr. Morton, said some National Republican Com mittee, three times the amount of his salery aa Vice-President would be, which is supjMJsed to mean that he has contributed $9G,000. In re turn for this he Las insisted, and still insists, that the full power of the National Committee shall be used to carry North Carolina. Sen ator Quay objected at first, but he could hardly help yielding to the party s candidate for the Vice- Presidency ano its gratest pecuni ary aid, so an energetic Republican campaign has been carried- on in North Carolina, and Senator Quay has spent money in that Scate which he wai ted to devote to other States. QUAY'S DlSCOVEKY- The disgust of Seuator Quay now is a aiscoverv wuicu ne lias just made of the reasons which actuate Mr. Mortfln in desiring to have North Carolina to go Republican. They are, in short, that the firm of Morton, Bliss & Co., are holders of what are known as the special tax bonds, which uow amount, princi pal and interest, to more than $30,000,000. These bonds were issued when .North Carolina was in the hands of the carper baggers and it was pretended that they were to be devoted to the bnilding of certain railroads in the promo tion of which Milton S- Llttlefield was the chief actor. A special tax was levied for their payment hence their name. Littlelield took the bonds, sold them in Xew York for what they would bring, and did not build auy railroads with them. The fraud was so gross that after North Carolina came under the con trol ot its decent and respectable citizens, a constitutional provision was enacted forbidding their pay ment unless snch payment should be authorized by a majority of the voters of the State at the ballot box. SUITS AGAINST THE STATE. Morton, Bli33 & Co. bought these bonds after their repudiation fr almost nothing, and have made sev eral attempts to collect them through the courts. Test snlts have been brought in individual bonds in the United States Circuit Court for North Carolina in the name of the dummies who reside in North Carolina. The suits are not brought by Morton, Bliss & Co., in order to avoid the provisions of the eleventh amendment to the Feder al Constitution which forbids the bringing of a suit against a State by a reaident of another State. One of these suits is now pending in the Unitd States Supreme Court with 6mall chances of success. But even if the suits were to succeed, the collection of the jadgment would be difficult, unless the people, the Legislature and the Governor should be in favor or paying it. Therefore Mr. Morton is very desir ous to have North Carolina 1 go Republican, and there are persons in the National Republican Head quarters who are unkind enough to sav that his main, if not bis sole purpose, is obtaining the Republi can nomination for the Vice-Presi dency, was to be thus . enabled to employ the whole power of the party through his National Com mittee to collect his bonds which he bought for almost nothing after tbey had 'been repudiated. In other words, that his candidacy is only a vast iianical speculation, in which he uses the Republican par ty as a tool to accomplish his ends. norES OP PAYMENT If the Republicans were to cap ture North Carolina at this election ci course that would not of itself insure the payment of the bonds. But it would give .a Republican Governor, a Republican Supreme Court, and a Republican Legisla ture. Much may be done with agencies. At least negotiations could be conducted for the payment of something on the bonds. And whatever is paid would be likely to be profit to Mr. Morton. One thing which militates against the success ot the gigantic scheme is the fact that? the Democrats ot North Carolina have "got on" to it; Senator Ransom is about to freely expose it on the stamp, and his ex posure will finally defeat it. The people of North Carolina do not really Want o pay for bonds from which they never received any benefit, and which were issued by rascals whom they have since driv en from , the State.

To have to sit still and hear of this pompous old rooter patronizing you in an inferential so'rt of . way, and saying: "Good fellow and means well, and doubtless he'll do the best he knows how if- elected, which, . of course, ain't so certain as if I had been nomin ated. But. mv friend, we mnt all try and pnll together and put him in the White House, for it's the best we can do now, and any scarecrow of a Republican is better there than a i Demo crat; and I'll be there on hand, anyway, when he s elected, to coach him and give him points and good advice and steer him out of the scrapes he'll be sure to get into if I'm not there to be, in short, your real President behind the little Indiana figurehead who has to run to his granddaddy for his half He will, will he?
