One day last week a countryman, af ter taking several "pulls at the bar," walked into a store on "robbers row," kept by a young man with one or two lively clerks, and bought some potatoes at sixty cents per bushel. The young merchant, seeing his customer was prety well under' the; influence of liquor,' concluded to' play a joke on him. So he stepped asids, procured a pair of handcuffs, walked-dp to theanm, drew out a warrant jiginst hun for illicit dis tilling and at the same time placed one of theuffs on one wrist, This , was carrying tha joke a little too far for the countryman; so with the other hand he drew a pistol -and poihtifigj directly at the merchant's head demanded : "Take that thing off of me you d n" s or I will, blow your brains out."" Ov my God ! don't shoot P exclaimed the mer chant, "don't shoot ! ! vou can have the potatoes for forty cents, don't shoot H ! " The'iuan didn't shoot but he brought down the price of potatoes.

Last week, two young Attorneys at this Bar paid out fifty dollars for one of their clients. They had sto"d the bond of a colored gentleman for his appearance at Court, and at the proper time their gentleman failed to come to time. . Upon intima tion from Judge Gilmer that the Bond would be held strictly to account the Attorneys commenced stirring, hired a private detective and sent him on the war path. Before court adjourned the detective returned with his prisoner, pocketed fifty dollars, and the unfor tunate colored gentleman went in jail. Thank the Lord! Mr. Noah Allen of. La Grange, will say when he reads this item Letter From Dr. Burkhead. Atlanta, Ga., April 29th, 1882. Dear Journal: I reached this grow ing city yesterday at 6 p. m., twenty-six hours from New Berne, N. C, or about 600 miles via Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta. Had a pleasant trip. No ac ulents, no delays. Thanks for well regulated railroads and gentlemanly omciais. xsaiure arrayea in spring attire invites to thought and song, but I listen to Nature's songsters, muse on the wonderful works of God, and hold my pen; for if I should enter such field there is no telling how long I might linger amid its beauties. At Goldsboro bought a ticket to "Nashville and Re turn," for 34.00 special rates, At Wilmington T met Revs. T. Page Ricaud and F. H. Wood, pastors of the two Methodist churches in that city, They were in fine health and spirits. A meeting is in progress in Front street Church with prospect of a good success. The P. E., Rev. R. O. Burton, preaching with, the. zeal and power of younger aays. My nrst year in the Conference was spent on the Roanoke Circuit, with Kev. R. O. Burton in charge. From that day to this "we have' been ait friends. At the Conference, held in Oxford, November 1849, 1 first met Bro, Ricaud. I have known Brb. Wood from the days of his infancy. I am glad to write all three of these brethren as my sincere and long-tried friends; and hope to meet them in the, Beautiful Land,' when the attleof. life is o'er. As we passed "MaccanaVw Lake,'.' at 13 o'clock at night, I was told that Col, H. B: Short , wis sick arid that Dr. Thomas of Wilmington was Attending him. This sad news thrtrw,, me into a train of thought. ..Thirty years of ' intimate friendship was 'revived In 1852, in the town of PJyriiouthv he was one of my niewurus., ,xiiu wub--jiow in neaven was converted and joined the Methodist Church pnder my ministry. , I can never forget the many evidences of personal kindness which I have received at the hands of Col. Short. He is in many respects a nne specimen of the "genus homo. " A more hospitable and gener ous man I have never seen. He has now living on his place, and in his employ, perhaps 500 colored people; and think the last one of them would fight for him. He is a Democrat and they are Republicans in politics. Why "has ho such influence over them V He treats them justly and kindly. The negro has a heart and Col. Short has found the key to his heart. Perhaps others might learn from Col. Short in thin matter. Mr. Alex. Powell, Esq., of Whiteville gave me the news about the good -people of that pleasant town. ; He had been in the North buying more goods. He runs two stores in Whiteville. He is a Baptist and his "better-half" is a Methodist, Both intelligent, useful and happy Christians. Between ' Augusta and : this , place. Bishop George F, Pierce, D. D., and Prof. Callaway of Emory College, joined us. The Bishop bound for Nashville and the Professor for Atlanta. The Bishop has improved in health since our Conference at Durham, but he is still feeble. I think he should rest and not attempt to preach for'six months. , Prof. Calloway and myself had crossed the Atlantic together been "rocked in the cradle of the deep," and liad seen "life on the ocean wave," as the steam ship. City of Berlin "walked the waters like a thing of life.'' Of course we were glad to meefe, We talked over our return trips, he on the City of Richmond and I on the C 0 Montreal. Both en countered storms and were in perils of the deep. I used to sing "life on the ocean wave" and think I should like it but after a little experience I prefe; "life on the land." , , ,t , From New Berne to Kinston I talked good deal with J. H. Mills, Esq., of Oxford. He asked me to send him the Daily Advocate. He thinks some one should write up the "side shows" of the General Conference. I have no doubt this would be interesting. I wish Bro. Mills would go over and write up this department. He suggested another man. but I don't know a man who could do such work better than Bro. Mills. He. could give the funny side of things in such a way that all would be pleased and, perhaps, profited. ' A hovel reproof for using profane lan guage. .A porter had been using baa words: ' ' ' - ' '' Fat Gentleman: "I want to hire you to do my swearing. I will give you five centBHolPwid twenty-five cents the next time l see you. - if l hire you, you must not swear till I tell you." Porter: "Well, boss." Fat Gentleman: "Here is your money now. ou understand the bargain. You are not to swear unless I tell you." Porter. "All right, boss." If this novel method of procedure will cause all parties to cease the wicked, useless, and disgusting habit of profane swearing, it should be patented. A man who travels in this country must hear profanity and see the destructive effects of whisky. ' "How long! Oh, Lord, how long! L. S. Burkhead. Company D-Twenty-SeventU Regi ment. i .

Prof. O. 11. Smith tells us that his cotton picker instead of proviusj a fail ure at Atlanta Exposition as was reports ed. met with more commendation than he had reason to expect, and will be brought forward more prominently than ever, m due season.. Wc truly wish him success." The need for a good Cot ton picker is already very urgent, and each season becomes more pressing, as the negroes drill .Northward and West ward; or (as the case with nearly all the better class) acquire lands, or a business, ot their own; thereby reducing the sup ply of cotton-picking labor. It is; reas onable to assume that a really practica ble. Cotton Picker would save one fifth of the cotton which is now lost every year. I he manuiacturer ot such a ma chine would liecome a millionaire, at a Royalty ol even one dollar pef bale; We note, by the bv. that Mr. Chas. C. Price, Jr., of Elizabeth City, has filed a patent tor a Picker, which the papers of mat iuvvu uiiue . tu inaimuir, as uotn Simple and" practicable,''' clearing the cotton row as fast as a hDrse can walk. We trust these high hopes may be real ized in actual practice. ; In ' the above connection we recall the fact that our young friend, Reuben f. Javis, or Monroe, (at one time a newspaper man) has patented the ma chine which he used; successfully on his own farm last inll for cleaning dirty seed-cotton. It cleans the cotton of all dirt, leaves, trash, etc., belore entering tne gin; tnns adding one or two cents per pound to its value. As it cost only $25, the machine ousrht to sell very rap idly, after having a fair test, and after Mr. uuvis prints testimonials to that el- tect lu the Farmer and Mechanic. Key. T.! Ift Pegrani, of Winston, has Invented a car-conpler, which his friends think will be a great success. He got the idea, by sudden inspiration, the Leader states, just after reading the re" mark that a thousand lives had been lost in a few years past, in coupling freight cars, Mr. D. Frank Caldwell. . , . TT ' ,IWIW ' ,VOUpier. This reminds us that a brother. M. S. Shotwell. now "at Ilarrisburg, Penn,, some years ago made a model 6f a car--coupler which was self-fastening, and , .would suit any height of truck and to our notion, was superior to any we bad v seen. He, however, deemed the costs r of a patent, and of securing its adoption, were too risky to unUnrtake; He.pre ferrml to patent Ills simple contrivancei known as -The M. S. Shotwell Car lleplacer, (for assisting the restoration of de-railed cars and engines); and we notice that it is fast coming into favor; sonic 40 Railroads uow usiug it and the Aew lork Central 11. R., which has many hundreds of trains, is negotiating for its adoption. ' -' - " Patents Iwve been granted as follows; Wren C. Penlnnd, Asheville, assigiVor of one half to J. M.
