Dear Jim: ' That is 1 stiil the name for mej call yon the old familiar name, "Jim Alex," and I love to hear you call me "Bill" as you did in the long ago when we were boys. We are not as notable as Toombs and Stephens, but they galled each other Dob and Alex because they began that way, and the names grew dearer as they receded from their youth. Jim is a good name anyhow "and I do believe there is some thing in it. There were five presidents named Jim, and several governors and all the Jims we knew at school were boys of character strong in force and will, though not overly pious. Yon re member Jim Wilson-and Jim Maltbie and Jim Craig and Jim Smith and big Jim Dunlap, who still, lives as the typi cal son of old Gwinnett. lie was older than our set, but we' looked up to him and could p.lways hear him before he came in sight, lie was a Jim. dandy then-and he is yet.

Jim ought , to be a preacher's name for St. James was one of the twelve and King James gave us our ver sion of the sacred scriptures.

And how you and Tandi Tom and a half dozen darkies used to I hunt conns on Shoal creek, and cut : down the trees and see the fight with f the dogs, and how we used to go dig- ging in that same creek and shoot the j fish by torch light, and how we used to I sein in yellow river and jump olf the ! springboard at Montgomery's mill pond. ' We had as much good fun, I reckon as ' uncle' Ilemus, even if we never caught a ' red fox with Hirdsccgdogs. The world ; was very beautiful to us all then?

We left our shov cls in the grave and the lirtlo wagon in the bushes and never stopped running for a cmarter of a mile, liut we went -back and reconnoitered. and found it was a false alarm, and we gut the body and hauled it to aa old house in the rear of Dr. Wildmans shop. Another time some of .you went down to Monroe after a negro who was hung and he was cut up in an old out house on the park lot. You remember thnt I bought that lot and moved there just after my mar riage, and . when my wife found out what was done there she made me tear the old house down and burn 'it up, and even then the servants heard the haunts all night long. My wife has great con fidence in me as a protector from earth ly foes, but when it comes to spirits of unjust men not made perfect she is -not so sure. When a house gets the name of being haunted it disturbs all female serenety, and so I . sold out and moved to Home, and we hadent been in our new abode a wt-ek before a naboring woman come to see us and said, '"Folks used to say that this hou.se was haunt ed, but I .reckon you ain't afeerd of haunts."

Amberg dident like Holmes no how, and I always had my doubts about the gas part of the busi ness. Amberg was a Norwegian, and a good citizen, but he was an awful dem ocrat. When Franklin Pierce was nom inated for president and the news came do our town, Amberg threw up his hat and snouted, "He is ter very man, ter j pest man of all," and then he whispered to my father, "vot did you say his name vos ?"

More than a dozen relief expedition went down from New Orleans today to distribute iood among the survivors.- The death list is already above 1,80Q and we have heard from only a por tion of the devastated country. It is such a network of islands, bayous, Jakes and swamps that it will be a week before the relief boats can tra verse all the waterways and discover ithe full extent of the damage done.

Nine feet of the flood swept over the levees. When the sea backed .up fifteen feet, it ruhed over into the river and continued to do so until the water had gone down. The tide then started out like a mill race, carrying most of the bodies to sea. ' The damage in the neighborhood of JsTew Orleans is estimated at $3,600,000; ibetween that city and Mobile $500,000; jin and around Mobile $300,000.
