" ASHEVILLE CITIZEN* THURSDAY, Mabch 14, 1878. “ - TiUdaf *> Klewaur. We. have had many inquiries, says the Raleigh Obterver, aboul ' the description of Mr*. Tubbs’ ex perience at A. T. Stewart a retail palace in ‘ the year 1853. It wai published In the Hearth and Home, hut so far as we know has not been reprinted in book form. It is often read in public by elocutionists, be. -’“mix'a stocic~pt®rat>*rt*,®tr“**etr-bat we hare found no way to answer the demand for it except by reprin ting it in our columns. MBS. TUBfcsHAS AN ADVENTURE. ; Mr. Editor of Hearth and Home ^ Your perfect gentlemanly way o( 'potting my letter in yonr paper last winter* writ as a warning to all.ba<l boys on ice, inclines me to send another letter which it will be a warnin' to all young women never to commit the mistake which I did most innocent on Saturday gone a week at a big draggooda store in New York. I had heard considera** ble about this ’era store, but I warn’t in no way prepared for all I see there. . Sakes ! It was equal to a dozen villages like Vanduscnburg a coming out o’ lueetin* all at once. Such a c rowd I never see, and Vhe women maulin' of the goods without buy in’, and the clerks looking on sarcastic just like yon see in any ornery store. Well, I went about better n an hour gettiif a couple o’ pair of good d o use stio-hose for my soil Jabez, and seven-eights of a yard of stuff,"for ebese bags if ami sodden, bein’ uncommon tired. I felt a weak spell com in on, and I hadn’t hardly strength to ask for chintz for the aetting^foom sofa. ‘Next story ma’am,’ -says the clerk, kind o’ looking sharp at me, ‘wouldn’t you like to take. . elewa tor?’ ‘ - Well, I was beat! It seemed a most uncommon proceeding,, and what I never heard no gentleman do before.'to ask mo to take a ek^ wator. I had my misgivings what ■_is,me ant, for our Jabez with bis (Jokes and what nots, though liis father nnd me is most strong tcnis prince folks, persists s'omet tncs in tnkm’ what hecnlU clowalors, which is glasses of speorita and w^tcrV calkerlated as ho says, to rai.se droopin* fedina iwid failin’strength. 'Sir/.says I ns lofty a¥J could, ‘I prefer not, and to my mind you’d do better for u respectable sliop not to lie offer in* dewaters, leastwise hM to me.” JSo I kept walkin’ ‘ round, not likin* to ask -questions ahotviu’ my country ways* iuid still fedin’of goneness which them as has weak spells is subject to, when another clerk, hearin* me - ask for ubintzes, said something again about, nv taking a dewalbr.

No sooner Inti I swallowed a gtiblct uf it when tile young man -ported to a little room widely if von'll believe me.

But I couldn’t rhelp j reelin' Beared, particular whenl;sea. | ail of a Midden men and women j kind o'walkin' about in the air.— ; Once I jumped up to go out Of }be j room, but a;man workin’ some clock 1 works in the corner held out fair ; hand. ‘In one moment madam P_ |said he, a pushin me back with j such an air f -j— auu u.u juu vaivc a cirnowi . i whispered to the lady sitting along _ side of me. She nodded her head witjioutsjiring nothing, and from her queer look Treckoned she was/ worse affected even than I-was. ♦It's the first one I ever took ili my life here in York,* continues I; “our country elewators ismore poai tive to take, but they don’t have nothing like the efTect, though I roust say sufcli things never ought j to be took except tu sickness^’ {.. *Nowt madam/ aaid the clock man, very pompous, ‘you wont ha\^, j no difficulty now.' Sure enough dT j didn’t have no difficulty.

I never was so bothered in all my life, though, I knowed all along i what was the matter, but jttat kept [ou without asking no (fuestions of j nobody, and' finally again’ down ! stairs and down stairs, and expec-* tin' nothing else but to find tnvself in the kitchen if Mr. Steward's fam ily lives anywhere In the buildin', which is most likely, there bein’ enough room I should think. Well., ! to make a long story short, hpw I {ever got out of that store I don’t | ever expect to know,, but after I once kclched sight of thorn glass j doors I didn’t tirrn neck nor heel till I stood*ont on the sidewalk, ex* I plainin' private to a police that I’d I been takin' an • clewator, and I wouldn’t he put roe in a down town stage.

A brigade ono day camped around the premises of a neiglihof of ours. Ho was sitting on the fence (tor! one rail at least) contemplating liter* ; destruction going on all around.— One soldier was killing a call', nn , other was alter the pigs, another * was milking the cows. hundreds were burning rails, others were i taki«g~otr ttuT wndl'backet and fopc,'; some wero digging for "hidden j treasures,” aud altogether tire scene i was rather lively. t>ur neighbor i looked for some time, saving ' go-' thing, doubtless from mabiltty Lo: do the subjvmt- -jostree,-- when he broke out: •'Gentlemen, if 1 lire through tliis war I shall never fear hell!'' When liruggretreated from Tullatioina a large part of his army epasswt- ttotr^^iwaMwWghhortMaalH The soldiers were much. discour-1 I aged.;, .Muhin a few mouths they j : bail retreated all the way from bo-1 lore Nashville. about ono hundred! and thirty miles, and in ad that! time they declared they had ' not been whipped. “ltd had enough | to run when we are whipned," said ' ouo of the soldiers , .'tt—11 tins way I or beating the Yankees and then ' tniiWiig aw ay from themf“l ssk-h ■ oil one of the Ollicers, uu acquaint j hence, to what point they were re ! treating, “lo Cuba,’’ be replied,! } sharply, ‘'irold ltmgg can get »1 i bridge acro'ss front Florida !" On i tbesuuic retreat a couple of sol j ' fliers stopped at a house near usj and proposed to swap horses, as theirs Wer* Worn bat. Our neigP; bor trotted out two Mid. offered, them a bargain, One or bis horses, however, bad a white head and race. '•That One won't do,’’ said os? bf the. soldiers; •‘the enemy could see ttist face n mile.’' “ffo," said the •the> soldier,^quickly, •‘that’s no ob|ection j • for the other end of Bragg's cavalry ts always towards tbe Yankees I” So they took the white-faced horse and went on, sat - isfled that the rear only would gointtoward the enemy during thet remainder of til© war. This hap pened just as I relate it, and shows something of the spirit ‘of Bragg’s army on the famous retreat from Tailahoma. ., _ Perils'of this Narrow Gauoe Dress.—A Philadelphia lady, stan-| diog ti|Mn a crowded car, - so fa#li j ionably dressed that she could not ; well reach x banging strap for sup j port, wa9, by a motion of the car, \ thrown forward so violently' that I she fell and broke a knee cap be longing to her. S.be brought an ac tiou for damage Rgainst the rail road company, and the jnry awar ded her $5,000. This verdict is re sisted by the directors of the com pany, who came into court with the answcMhat ip mak ng her toilet the lady had rendered herself in capable of~taking duo precautions for her safety. The .case has been appealed to a higher court, and so ciety is now anxious to know what the Supreme Judge will say. A Family Man.—The extraordi nary statement is made that Fen , ■lpr Vassilef, a' peasant of, Moscow, had,-in 1872, at the age of 75, eigh ty seven children by two wives.— His first wife bore him quadrup’es four times, triplets three times and twins sixteen times. His second wife, on eight occasions, presented him with eighteen children. Eighty three of Vassilef’s family were alive in 1872. These facts, it is said, can be easily verified by records in Mos cow, where the Vaasilfefs are well known. The packing in the We9t is more than 1,000.000 hogs in excess of last year. It is estimated that the hog crop will reach 0,200,000 head —which will he 00,000 more than the largest number ever known. So bacon and greens will be abundant and the former should rule low. Theriots last year cost the State of Pennsylvania seven hundred and .ten thousand dollars, for military expenses aldtue. The Legislature has passed a hilt appropriating this amouut. / The Penktratino Winds incident to this season of the year Rre b severe or deal tor the lungs.
