The Cow Resents the Act with Dis astrous Consequences to Her Drivors. „ There is nothing that demands states, manship of a high order as much as the driving of a cow with a young calf to any particular place. Two Dallas col ored men took a job of this character yesterday,and although they gave the matter their careful attention, the re sult was very far from satisfactory to anybody but the cow, who seemed to enjoy it very much. Sam ana Bill were to get a dollar to take the cow and calf and put tbem in the yard of the owner, Mr. Thomas Carlyle, who liyes at the south end of Elm street. After trying in vain to get the cow to understand in which direction they preferred she should go, Sam aud Bill called a cabi net meeting, the following campaign plan was agreed upon : Sam was to take up the calf in bis arms and go ahead, while Bill was to hold the cow back by the rope which was fasten ed to her horns. 'Ef she goes too fast,' said Bill, •I'll jest hold her back.' 'And ef she don't follow fast enough, I'll jest twist de calf's tail, and den she will come right along,' said Sam. Sam took up the calf and went ahead, while Bill, in order to get a real good hold, tied the rope around his wrist. The procession proceeded slowly in the desired direction,and would have reach ed its destination in safety had not Sat an tempted Bill to get off a joke so he called out: 'Sam, jest twist dat ca'f's tail.' Sam did so, and the calf bleated as if itlwas opposed to an encore to the per formance. The old cow began to trot. So did Sam, holding on to the calf as if he had stolen it. Then the fan began. For every once in a while the cow would polish her horns m the ceiling of Sam's pants. Bill could not get his hands oat of the rope, and, as he had short legs, he had hard work keeping up with the procession, or rather in not letting go. He ran so fast that the kinks in his wool straightened out. Finally he gasped : 'Sam, ontwist dat calf's tail.' Sam's legs moved so rapidly that they looked like spokes of a buggy, bat he called back: 'Look out dar, don't let go dat rope, de cow's a gainin' on me.' •Drap de calf, Sam,\ called poor Bill, whose arm was coming out of its sock et. 'Drap de calf, for I can't keep up widdeeow. Go slow, or I'll turn de cow loose on you,' which, however, was more than he was able to do. Bill made the next fifty yards on his back, be still most unwillingly retained his hold on the rope. Fortunately, the cow overtook Sam, and in return for his kindness in picking np the calf, she picked him up on her horns and threw him over into Mr. Carlyle's yard. Bill, who was rather tired of chasing the cow, thought he would climb over and see what Sam was doing. She appear - ed to understand his wishes in that di rection, so she started on a run to lelp him out, or rather in. She was a little late, but he went about ten feet further into the field than be would have done without her assistance. There was neither of them so badly hurt as they were when old C&rlyle came and told them that the contract was that they should put the cow in the yard. In stead of that, the cow had put them in the yard, so the dollar belonged to him self as the owner of the cow. It is thought a lawsuit will grow out of the matter. A Man of Honor. Colonel Griggleson, by the unhesitat ing manner by which he has purchased goods on credit, and by the hesitating manner in which he has paid for them, fails to occupy a place among the for tunate class of men known as "good customers." The other day, just after the colonel had ordered several articles to be sent up to his house, the merchant of whom he had just ordered the articles, said : •Colonel, I would like the best in the world to favor you, but I really can't carry you any longer.' 'By the way, that reminds me of a joke I heard in Washington last—' •Never mind about Washington. I can't afford to let you have the goods. You owfr me a hundred and fifty dollar*—. already.' • 'My dear friend,' said the colonel, lighting a cigar, 'do you suppose I can, in justice to my honor, afford to pay a man who refuses to trust me ? I may be peculiar, but I can't help it. My father was very much the same way. Don't remember the old gentleman, do you ? You would have liked him. Wish you would send these things up as soon as you can. Good morning I' Arkansaw Traveler. I SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL.
