A Temperance Lecture at the Corner*—
How Mr. Bascont Attempted to Kill
Hie Influence
[From the Toledo Blade.]

{Which is in the State of Kentucky. V
February 20,1873. J
The Corners is waggin on ez yoosnal.
Deekin Pogram, bless his old soul, is the
name kind, genial, old man that be aliuz
wuz. But time bez plowed deep turners
In his cheeks,and the tetch uv his frosty
fingers bez whitened his hair, and ■chilled
the warm currents uv his,biped. But
tfce Deekin iSreeined. A more philbssifi
•cai nacher I aever knowd. fie sez that
age bez its advantages, ez well'ez its dis
advantages. Troo, bis blood is colder
'than in youth, but ez a compensashen be
hez to ■drink more Irkfeer. The pleas*
■ore uv thkin the warm in fiooids more
than compensates for the disadvantages
tiv age.
“But,'” sed I, “sposin <yoor finances and
Bascom’s crooelty won’t permit you yoor
regler supplies.”
■“There is the silent toomb for me,” sed
he, “there is death.”
“After wich,” replied-Joe Bigler, “yoo
will doubtless be kept warm enough with
out Iffefcer.”
That Joe Bigler aliuz puts in Unpleas
ant remarks at the wrong time.
The Corners hev bin threatened with
serious disasters for some weeks back.
•Pollock and Joe Bigler, fur the express
•purpose uv worryin the saints, hev bin
try In to organize a temperance society
and -Sunday school, and that sort uv thing
at the Corners, wich we steadfastly op
posed. They wanted a series of temper
ence missionary seut out to the Nashnel
Society, and when they advertised him,
we sent a note to ’em that we never could
permit an inuovashen that wuz intended
to sweep away all the ansbeut landmarks,
-az»d revolutionize the Corners, and that
while we believed in free speech, of the
inalienable right t>v Amerikin citizens, ef
that man attempted to speak at the Cor
ners, we’d hang him on the first tree —
sure.
That afternoon-Joe Bigler came to me
and took me to one side.
■"Parson,” sed he, "we are agoin to hev
least one temperaace lecture at the Cor.
nere,””
"It will be.our-painful dooty to hang
•the lecturer," sed I, "for Bascom desires
it. ltd ipterferin with his trade and our
riles.”
‘Parson,”-sed Joe, wit>h a wink and a
“ain’t you often sick fur want uv a
leer,
drink?”
‘I an," sed L .
‘•lsn’t it difficult tOiget all yoo want ?”
■said -he.
“It is,” sed J.
“"What wood yoogwe for a-etrate week
ov all yoo cood la to—free likker in
abort?”
"I stood be willin to die the next day,**
1 replied, “die with neetnis anddespatch.
JBat why torment me with filch 'Visions of
JStysian bliss, wicb are simply unattaina
ble?”
“Parson, epoee Deekin Pogramwuz to,
say to Bascom, that these meetins cood
ent pe stopped, and that the only way to
MQtralize their effect, was to keep the
Corners from attendin by makin his bar
free door in their continyooanoe. Spose,
ef die didn’t bite at the beginin, that a
dozen -uv yoo go to the meeting one nile
and not go near his place. I don’t want
ye to do this, for ez yon never pay noth
in, yootr absence wood please him—'bat;
McPelter, Jssaker Gavitt and sum uvthat
kind, who hev land yet to mortgage.
That’ll fetch him—that’ll fetch him.’’
I seed a lite. Visions of unlimited
drinks rose before me, and I eed to him:
“Joseph, it eh el be done. Announce
yoor lectrer in safety. " I hate his seati
mence, Joseph, but free speech is the her
itage and boast uv every freeman, and It
she! not be violated at the Corners. Ad
vertiee faun in peace.”
I imejitly went to the Deekin, McPelter
and Oavitt, and opened to them the idea,
and they fell into it to wunst. It was re
fresh in to see the look uv expectancy on
their bloo lips and their wry faces. 1 was
deppytized to make the eujestion to Bas
com, which I imejitly did.
I laid before G. W. the impossibility of
checkin the movement now bein inogger
ated by Bigler and Pollock, and the dan
ger that wuz conceeled in it. I told him
that only by keepin the people uv the
corners away from the accused fanatics,
cood their work be made fruitless, and
that only by throw in open his house and
by puttin up a notice, “Likker is free
here,” could they be kept away.
Bascom larfed oat and refoosed. Where
upon 1 sed very well, and left.
Immejitly I got the party together.
“Bascom hez refoosed," I remarkt, “ez
I sposed be wood. Now for severe meas
ures. You must all go to the temprance
mceiin’ io nite, and mast stop in after it’s
over and refoose to drink, on the score
that you’ve bin impressed."
"Go without likker one whole even in !
Parson, we can’t da it.”
Here wuz an impediment wich I bed
overlooked. Uv coarse they couldn’t go
{without likker a hull evenen*. Bot gen
las is ekal to all emergencies—bein ekal
tovall emergencies is wat conslitoots gen
ius. We had a farmer go to Bascom’s and
buy fi i^allon.
Then jDeekin Pogram remarked that
probably be hsd better not go to the
myelin, but wood stay and take keer of
(hat jug. but they all sed, “No” unani
poaely, and each made the same proposi
NASBY.
shen wich wuz towunst rejected by the
others. Finally* the jug wtiz put in
charge uv Mrs. McPelter, who can’t
drink, owin to her Ire Vin no stomach
watever to speek uv, and she waz charg
ed to put it under lock and key, and to
git it out for nobody onless we all wuz
present,' so that there cood be ■no advan
tage taken. This bein done,they all took
one sniff, one wich wood sustain em for
an hour, and .went to the lekter, levin me
with Bascom.
Eight and nine passed, bnt not one uv
em come to his old familiar place. Bas
com was oneasy. I took suthin hot with
him twicebr three times, and talked nv
the weather, and things, but they came
not. Finally, at they entered, looked
grave and solemn.
“Deekin, HcPelter, Isaaker, will you
take suthin,” sed I, display in a dollar
note wich the Deekin had 'given me for
the purpose.
“No!” sed the Deekin, “I am not sboor
about drinkin. I hev listened to a pow
eiful discourse about it to-night, and I
hev mostly made up my mind to try and
quit, ef I kin.”
“Quit!” sed Bascom in amazement,
“are yoo crazy ?”
“I too hev made up my mind to quit,”
sed Issaker, and McPelter echoed nim.
“Good night Bascom” and we all went
out together to McPelter’s where we made
the jug consumptive-
Bascom was thoroughly alarmed. The
next nite he put up a sign in his vioder
“Likkers is free here till farther notis,”
wich I stood and read to the people, who
bnt for me never wood hev knowd it. *
That site the lectrer lectured, bat it
wuz not to as. Bascom worked ez he
never worked before. The Deekin went
down first,'lssaker next, McPelter next,
and finally 1 saccumed. By this time the
Deekin wu* sober, then Issaker. then Me
Pelter and then me and so on til} we wuz
all thereby exhausted at aboat one when
we quit.
The same-scene was enacted the next
nite and the next, and for a week. Bas
com was nearly rooined, but was restored
by the announcement that the next nite
wood be the last. Then that wretched
lectrer’s life wuz made miserable. He wuz
at Pollock's home, and from early morn
to dewy eve he wuz besiged by sich an
other host nv inebriates ez he never saw
before in all his days, with entreaties to
go on.
“Go on,* sed the Deekin, “go on. How
kin yoo reconcile it with your dooty to
leave the Corners, and me in danger of
goin down to a drunkard’s grave ? 1 ain’t
reformed yet —go on.”
And McPelter, Pennibacker, Issaker
and a hundred more who hed hed all they
wanted for a week, and wanted it to con
tinyoo, begged him with tears in their
eyes to go on in his good work.
But it wuz of no avail—he left, and
Bascom pulled down his sign and likker
bed to be paid for sgin at the Corners.
The next day I met Joe Bigler.
“Hed a good time haven’t yoo?” sed
he.
“Excellent,” sed I, “wood it cood hev
continyood.”
“Parson,” said this aggravatin Joe, “I
did this for thred reasons. First—l epos
ed that a week of unlimited supplies wood
kill the entire assortment of yoo. Sec*
ond—l sposed that in a week yoo wood
break up Bascom, and third, we wanted
to organize the niggers into a temperance
society, to keep em from be com in loath
some objecks as yoo are, and didn't want
to be interrupted in the work. We hev
only succeeded in the last item. Bascom
has more money than we sposed he hed,
and yoor bowels kin endoor more than I
sposed they cood. I hev been lenient
with whisky—l hev sed that whisky hez
yooses. I told Pollock last week that ez
whisky wnz the only thing that cood kill
Nashya and Pograms and sich, that it wuz
cot a bad thing to hev. But now that I
find H won’t do it—that its only good
men that it kills—l shel fite it ez an un
mittigated cuss without any redeem in
feechere. lam its enemy from th is time
out.
And he went away laffin vociferously.
Life isnt Foseate now ez it wnz dooric
that week. But thank Hcavin the rscol
lekshen uv that week never kin be taken
from me. It wuz Heavenly. That it may
be repeated, I am, at the sejestton uv Dee
kin Pogram and Issaker Gavitt, in corres
pondence with all the temperance lectur
ers in the country. We want temperance
lecterers at the Corners. The temperance
banner must be upheld at the Corners.

A DETECTIVE’S STORY.
A little episode in the life of Detective
Becker, of Newark, reads like a novel wri
ter’s story. Hr; B. was ordered tq Port
Wayne some time ago to work np a coun
terfeiting gang. After much trouble he
succeeded in getting admitted to the gang
under the name of "Dntch Jim.” The
Newark Courier telle the rest;
Their headquarters were in one of the
cemeteries, tthere they met nightly, and
a partly opened grave in an obscure part
of tbe burial ground contained the spoils
of not only tbe result of the counterfeit
ing, but of a number of bold robberies
committed by the gang. The detective
worked his case well, and was astonished
to find that sevaral of the gang were well
known citizens and members of churches.
Had tbe gang once suspected the true
character of "Dutch Jim,” that shrewd
and cunning fellow’s life would have been
the forfeit. Different ones of tbe gang
were arrested, and always “Dutch Jim’>

HANGMAN FOOTE ANDJE
An Unearthed Anecdote of Ti
Politicians.
Foote and Davis were In Congress in
1848 (while Taylor and Casa wire candi
dates for the Presidency,) and Occupied a
room together at Willard’s Hotel. One
evening, seated by the same {fireside, Mr.
Davis read aloud from a political letter of
Geo. Taylor, and made running (pmments
for Hr. Foote’s delectation, the
latter thought were rather too j friendly
for a Democratic Senator to glvi expres
sion to in the heat of a canvass, jln fact,
be intimated quite strongly jthat he
thought Mr. Davis, at heart, wa] a Tay
lor man; that in spite of bis professed
support of the Democratic nominee, he
would secretly rejoice over Geni Taylor’s
election. Mr. Davis had narried a
daughter of Gen. Taylor, and\his little
circumstance, Mr. Foute suggested, was
at the bottom of hjs colleague’s compli
ment of the letter,4dding, in bit impetu
ous way, that it would doubtless be a
very nice thing to be a son-in-lSw of the
President—even a Whig President. Mr
Davis could not brook this sarcastic inti
mation of treachery on bis part] and re
torted in severe language, one word
bringing on another until the “grave and'
reverend” came to blows. The noise of
the fisticuff aroused other Congressmen,
who rushed into the room and separated
the combatants, admonishing them of the
shame which would attach to two dis
tinguished Senators from the same State
indulging in a disgraceful knock-down.
This view of the matter naturally brought
the two to terms, and Ijke the and
wife who “urged the question of rat or
mouse,” they shook hands and made
friends.
"Really,” said Mr. Foote, after a nolle
all around; "really, I should not have
thought of such a thing as striking Mr.
Davis if be hadn’t passed (be first blow.”
"Areyou not mistaken about that?”
urged Mr. Davis, apologetically.
"Indeed, I am not,” retorted the im
petuous.
"It is my impression you struck first,”
pleaded Mr. D.
"Oh, no, it was you.”
“No, it was you.”
"But I’ll swear it was you.”
"And I would swear it wasn’t.”
"Yon did strike first.”
"I did not strike first.”
"You did.”
"I didn’t.”
"You did.”
"I didn’t.”
"Well,” said Foote at last, r isiog hasti
ly from his seat, "there shan’t be any
dispute as to who struck first this time” —
and as he spake dealt Mr. Davis a sting
ing blow on thb cheek, which resulted in
another recontre that, but for the inter
ference of mutual friends, might have been
going on until now, for both are "game”
all over. The question as to who struck
first being thus settled, nothing serious
grew out of the matter; especially as
either party preferred to have the matter
ixushed up as speedily as possible.*
The Indiana woman who threw a burg
lar down stairs and broke his neck, is
very sorry now. She thought it was her
husband coming home tipsy again.
“Who made you ?” was asked of a small
girl. She replied, "God made me that
length,” indicating with her hands the
length of a new born infant, "and I
growed the rest myself.”
Mark Twain, in speaking of cannibal
ism, grows serious for once, and solemnly
declares that, for his own part, he "would
rather go hungry for two days than eat
an old personal friend.”
Spotted Tail is the man for the times.
He has disposed pf four mothers-in-law,
and whoops for the scalp of the fifth. He
will lecture for |5O a night.
A Danbury youth carries, one of bis
girl’s teeth as a fond remembrancer.
When he is married he can have all her
jaw. ■ 1 .
