BY THE EIlTOR OF THE "MOUNTAINEER.'."
AlR Star Sp,tn;j?fd JUinner.
Again ! once again ! in the bright festive
hall
Have we met in tho spirit of grateful de
votion. The ileeils of the Hero with prMe to recall,
A nil fondly indulge every pleasing emo
tion. Then let. us proclaim the Patriot's name.
Whose J list re is bright as the iris of fame ;
While freedom and valor to inati shall le
dear,
Thy name, gallant Jackson, will Freem en
revere !
O'er Time's musty records the student may
pore,
Or wake from their slumbers the echoes
of agon.
To boast of the mighty who flourished of
yore.
Selecting the worthiest heroes ?nd sages.
The worthiest few, we give them their due,
Then turning, brave .Iackson, in triumph
to you.
In vain we solicit, a worthier name.
More dear to the FREE, on the annals of
fame I
The heroes, the chiefs, the commanders of
old,
Whose names anil whose deeds are embla
zoned in story,
Were doubtless- intrepid, and fearless, and
bo'ld,
And Time's fleecy mist lias lint mellowed
their glory;
But valor and might, 'midst carnage and
riglif.
Are sanctified only by -trsTrCE and RIGHT.
'Tis these which give value to human aj
plause: To honor the man is to honor the cause J
lint "peace has its perils," as Time hath
disclosed
By countless events which his pen has re
corded. In peace, as in war, was brave Jac kson op
posed Br the"nienn and the selfish, the base and
the sord id ;
For "booty" was still their wish and their
will.
But Ihe galliMit old patriot tWov7 tUe bill ;
And Jackson, the statesman, thus sliiv-
er'd the chain
Which Jackson, the hero, had sever'd in
twain !
The spirit of Mammon, ungrateful ami
mean
For mean and ungrateful must Honesty
term if
This spirit still prowls round the hallowed
scene.

ITe t'iiln't look like a man who had been
turning' financial problems over and over
in l'i:'miiid for fifty years ; but yet, you
can't always correctiy judge a man by his
looks.
llo walked up atid down the depot plat
form for a time, and then suddenly rush
ing at an old man who was leaning against
the wall and half asleep lie exclaimed :
"What about inflation?"
"Why !.ha, ha ! I thought yon were po
insr to strike me !" iridicd the old man as
lie straight ened up.
"Shall we inflate Ihe currency?" de
manded the financier in earnest tones.
"Von may for all I care !" bluntly res
plied I he old man ; "all I want is to get my
baggage aboard the Montreal train all
right."
"Or, shall we contract the er.rrency?"
asked the fina.icier, backing up to the
stove.
"I don't care a damn what you do with
it, so that I strike that train!" growled
the old man, his eyes half shut.
"This question of finance is one of the
trreatest in the world," continued th
financier, "and I demand that you exhibit I
an interest in it."
"I'll be switched if I will?" growled.the J
old man, his eyes half shut.
"This bit of green paper," continued
the financier, taking a dollar bill from his j
vest pocket, "is supposed to represent one .
hum. red cents. Answer me if it. does?" j
"Oh! lemme alone!" growled tho old
man, his head nodding and his eyes shut.
'If I owe you one dollar I can pay you ;
off with this 'bit of paper; but would I be i
paying you eighty, ninety, or one hundred j
cents?" i
"Yon -divi't-owc me anything !" j
sighed the old man, now almost dreaming, i
"Gold is money, and greenbacks are
money," continued the stranger; "but if
you have gold yon would not exchange it
for my greenbacks. And yet. why not ?"
The old man was now asleep, and didn't
hear.
"And yet why not?" asked the finan
cier once again.
The old man's eyes never opened.
"And yet why not?"
The ohl man snored a half snore.
"And yet why not?" exclaimed the
financier, giving the sleeping man a gentle
kick ou the shin.
"Whoa I diimit to thnnder ! who, did
that?" yelled the old man as he leaped
up.
"And yet why not?" coolly inquired the
financier.
Why uot what?"
"If we inflate the'eurrency, that is in
crease it if we add millions of paper dol
lars to the millions already afloat what
must be Ihe eflcct?"
"I'll eflect you if you kick mo again !"
roared the ld man, now thoroughly
aroused.
"On the other hand," coolly continued
the financier, "if we contract the currency,
diminish the amount afloat, a hat result
will follow?"
"What do I care? What are j-ou talk
ing finance tome for? I believe you are a
pick-pocket, and I'll knock your head off
if you don't cle i r out 1"
"Something must be dime, but what
shall we do?" continued the financier in
earnest tones. "Tho Government says
that this bit of paper is a dollar ; yet- it is
only 88, 00, or O'Z cents when brought in
cot.tict with a gold dollar. It is because
of ?"
"Lemme alone, T say !" shouted the old
man. "What in Texas do I care about
your financial talk?"
"The Government says that this dollar
bill is one dollar," said the financier, "and
yet it refuses to give me a dollar in gold
lor it. Why?"
"That's why !" ejaculated the old man,
as he struck a straight blow from the
shoulder.
"We must either contract or expand,"
replied the financier, as he took the old
man by the throat and backed him against
the wall ; "we must know that our money
is worthless or worth one hundred cents on
the dollar
"Let. go of mo ! There ha ! ugh !"
And the old man kicked like a mule.
"And until that period arrives," replied
the financier, crowding Ihe old man into
a corner and jamming him hard, "no capi
talist will feel like withdrawing his money
from the banks and risking it in even legiti
mate speculation."
"Help! I'olice !" called the old man.
"Let Congress settle this question," the
financier was saying, when au oflieer col
lared him and walked him away. As he
passed out oT the depot he went on :
"Whether we are to have hard money or
inflation, and confidence will be at once re
stored and "
But he had turned the cm tier.
"Hang my buttons !" said Ihe old man,
as he wiped his face ; "what do I know

One night, during the recent troubles in
tiie Pennsylvania coal legions, Judge
l'otts' brother, Thomas Potts, was round
at a meeting of mine owners, and after the
adjournment he stepped into a tavern.
While there lie met with some friends, and
in the course of an hour or two he became
very intoxicated. On his way home he
lost his hat, and a miner who knew him,
feeling compassion for him, clapped on his
head a miner's hat, and in order to make
Ihe dark street brighter he lighted the lit
tle lamp in front ot the hat. When Potts
reached the house his wife had gone to bed
and the lights were out, but Potts felt
certain the lamp was burning in Ihe hall,
but he couldn't for the lift; of him tell
where it was. He looked at the regular
lamp, and that seemed to be out ; then
hunted in every direction for She light, but
he was unable to find il, ah hough it seem
ed to shine brightly wherever he went.
Presently he happened to stand in front of
tho mirror in the hat. rack, and then he
saw precisely where the l.tmp was. After
a brief objurgation upon Mrs. Potts for
leaving a light, in such a pieposiorous
place, he went up to the mirror and tried
to blow it out. He blew, and blew, but
somehow the flame buincd as steadily as
ever.
"That," said Po'ts, "is the mr-z exlror'
nary lamp's ever been my mizfortuuc t en
counter." Then he took off his coat, and holding
il in front of him, he crept cautiously up
to the mirror and tried to crush the coat
down over the light t smother it. He
made half a dozen itu-flcctual attempts,
and then standing oil' and regarding the
light, which slil' burned brightly, he said :
"That's cert'nly very extro'nary, mz
stonishin' ciicumstaiize ever come uu'er
my observation. Don't know how't ac
count for it."
It occurred to him then that perhaps'he
might smash the lamp with the umbrella.
Seizing the weapon, he went up to the hat
rack, and aiming a terrific blow at the
light, he brought the umbrella down. He
missed and smashed his Sunday hat into
chaos. He took aim again and caught the
umbrella in the hall lamp oveihead, bring
ing it down wii.h a crash. Then he tried
a third lime and plunged the fnrnle of the
umbrella through the mirror, smashing it
into atoms. He felt exultant for a mo
ment as the light disappeared from his
vision, but he was perplexed to find that
there was another light somewhere, he
couldn't tell exactly where. So he sat
down on the stairs and remarked :
"Moz 'stonishin' circumstanz ever come
under my observation. What in thunder's
it. mean, anyhow? Light's gone and yet
it's shinin'. Perfec'ly incompr'nsible.
Wish't grashns Miss Podd's wake np and
explain it. Durn 'f I know what I'd bet
ter do."
Then Potts took off his hat t scratch
his head, in the hope that he might scare
up an idea, and the truth flashed upon
him. Gazing at the lamp for a moment,
until he drank in a full conception of the
trouble it had caused him, he suddenly
smashed it down on Ihe floor in a rage
and extinguished it, after covering two
yards of carpet with grease. Then he
went to lied, and when in the morning
Mrs. Potts infoimed him that some of
those awful miners had broken into the
house the'night before ami left one of their
hats with a lamp, Potts turned over in
bed so that she couldn't see his face, and
said if the stern hand of Ihe law wasn't
laid upon those ruffi.um soon nobody's life
would be safe.

liestored lifter Many Years,
a romance ok real life.
An evening paper of this city publishes
a romantic story of tho loss of a little child
at the capture and pillage of Corinth, Mis
sissippi, by the Union forces in the late
war, and of his restoration to his familv
j after thirteen years had passed and the lit-
tic uoy had grown to be a man. In the
flight of the inhabitants from Ihe burning
! town, most of the people hurried down the
railroad track leading from the southern
part of Hie place, and took refuge in the
woods and fields along t he route. Soonthe
streets were deserted by all except this lit
tle boy, who became sepaiated from his
friends, and stricken with terror he ran
hither and thither in his bewilderment, and
at last hid himself in a freight car which
had escaped Ihe general conflagration.
Among the Union soldiers who soon
poured into the city was Captain (after
ward General; Hickenlooper, of the Fifth
Ohio Battery, who discovered Ihe boy and
took him baek to the camp, where by his
youthful intelligence he became a gieat fa
vorite. The boy stated that his name was
Frank Foster, and that his father and
brother were in the rebel army, bis brother
being an aide to General Beauregard ; but
as all search for them had failed, it was
believed that they were dead. The Gener
al, out of pity, adopted the boy, and in Au
gust, sent him to Cincinnati, where
he was taken charge of by the General's
father and mo;her. He was sent to school
and afterwards served an apprenticeship in
the Surveyor's olTice under his patron, the
General, becoming at length a good civil
engineer. During all these twelve or thir
teen years he never ceased, when an oppor
tunity offered, of making diligent inquiry
with regard to his parents and family, but
in vain; all he remembered was his fath
er's and mother's name; and with only
this to guide him it seemed a hopeless
task.
He wrote repeatedly to his old home, but
the letters were all returned, no one having
called for them. He inserted from time to
time advertisements in the Memphis and
other southern papers, but tliey bro-ight no
rcsonse ; and, from the day that he was
first, taken to the Union camp, nearly
font teen years ago, wrapped in an old
army blouse that reached to his ankles,
until Saturday of last week, did ever he
hear one syllable with regard to his father,
mot her or fi iends.
One evening, a year or two ago, young
Foster, in company with friends, visited a
theatre in this city, and while all were af
fected with merriment by the performance
of a part icular comedian, Foster was sih-nt
and serious, and being afterwards asked
the cause, answvrcd "that man looked so
much like my mother that it starts nie to
thinking."
Again, one right last week Foster visi'ed
the same theatre, and to his astonishment
the same comedian appeared on the stage.
This time he made stich an impression on
Foster's mind that he could not sleep. On
Saturday morning of last week two inter
ested friends visited the theatre, and found
thecomcdian alluded to at rehearsal. They
questioned him closely ; the namesof both
fa the i and mot her corresponded exactly, but
he bad no brot her. His only brother, Frank,
was lost he said when a child, on the battle
field of Corinth, and all search for him for
thirteen j-ears had proved unavailing, and
he had been given up as dead. The history
of the family was then related in detail, as
to how. after the siege anil burning of the
town, they had returned to the old home ill
Dunkirk. Now York, finally moving to
Cleveland, where they hail remained ever
since the father's death ; the now broken
heaiUd old mother ; the struggles of the
only surviving son to cam a living for his
mother and sisters, and his final debut and
success on the st.ige, the unavailing search
for the lost brother ; the advertisements in
eastern ami southern cities; the journeys,
many of them on foot to distant places, of
the distinct d mother, still searching for
her lost child.
The brothers', as soon as they were satis
fied between themselves that they were
brothers, dispatched a message of good
news to their motln r in Cleveland, and
followed the message in person together.

A Heroic Pioneer Missouri Girl.
The Boor, vi lie (Mo.) Advertiser says : The
death of Joseph Cooper, of Howaid county,
one tf the oklest and most highly respected
residents of this section, recalls a startling
incident connected with the Cooper fort,
which was located about eight miles from
this city on the bank of the -Missouri river.
The time this occurred was in the year of
1815 or 18KJ, and at that time the country
was full of hostile Indians. Just at day
break the settlement was alarmed by an
attack of Indians, and it was only by the
utmost bravery ami daring that they were
retained in check long enough to allow the
families to rush inside Ihe fort for safety.
Once within the walls they held the savages
in defiance for a time only. On consul
tation, it was decided that the whites
could not resist but a short time the attack
of the Indians; and, in order to secure
aid, a courier must be sent to the Kincaid
foit, almost immediately opposite this city,
and about ten miles from the place in
which they were surrounded. There were
but few men, and it was too hazardous a
trip to think of sending a woman. What
to do they knew not. But delay was
dangerous ; every moment was fraught
with peril, and had it not been for the
heroism of Miss "Millie" Cooper a sister
of the worthy pioneer mentioned above
in all probability they would all have per
ished. She stepped calmly forward, and
bade them bring her a favorite horse be
longing to Ihe family, and with the tears
and prayers of her imperiled friends, rode
forth on her noble mission. Asshedashed
out of the inclosure Ihe murderous Indians
let fly a shower of arrows, and with blood
trickling down her horse's sides she fairly
flew from danger. In a short while she ar
rived at the Kincaid fort and related her
story. Reinforcements were sent out im
mediately, and before the dinner hour the
rascally red-skins were routed and Ihe set
tlers saved. The noble bravery of the
young girl won her a name that w ill not
soon be forgotten in this part of the State.
If there is anything (hat. w ill bring tears
to the eves of an Indian tobacco sign it is
! to witness a young lady undergoing the
' ryi"ff ordeal of endeavoring to bring a
; fallen clothes-line, full of clothes, to a re

JIM IMA LEX'S DEATH.
"It makes me feel kinder sad," said the
pilot, pointing to the bank as the boat was
ploughing the current near Lake Provi
dence, seventy-five mil':s above Vicksburg.
"When they buried him, twenty years
ago, the grave was a dozen rods from the
Vtater, but the treacherous current has
eaten and eaten at the bank till another
week will float poor Jim away."
The passengers saw the end of a coflin
sticking out of the bank, six or eight in
ches above water. It is a lonely spot on
the river, with no sound to break the deso
lation except the beat of paddle-wheels as
the steamers hurry along.
"It was Jim Whalen,'' continued Ihe
pilot, as the passengers turned to him for
an explanation. "He had a wife and babe
in Oilcans, and was a straight man. He
knew every snag and bar in the river, and
he could put his boat through any slmte
in the darkest night, you ever saw. Jim
didn't brag, and some of the pilots called
him a chicken. Chicken! He was the big
gest eagle that ever flew up or down this
Creek, and that ar cofTin proves it !"
He shoved the boat out a little, answered
a signal From an ascending steamer, and
continued :
"I was a cub then just learning the
business of Jim. You never seed a man
who'd do his level best for a hoy as kindly
as Jim would. No swearing or cussing or
cuffing, but as quiet and soft-sjioken as a
born lady. Yhen they laid him away
down there I couldn't have felt worse if
the old man himself had been pitched into
heaven."
lie asked for a chew of tobacco, and
having settled it against his left check he
said ;
"Over there by that gloomy canebrakc,at
midnight, nigh on to twenty years ago, tho
General Taylor took fire. I was asleep in
the texas, Jim at the wheel, and a hundred
passengers were asleep. How Ihe lire
started no one knew. The whole boat
blazed right up in a minute, scorching and
roasting people afore they had heaid the
alarm. Whew! but wasn't it awful! I
went overboard with nothing on but my
cotton, and my heels blistering, and pass
engers and crew tumbled after."
The pilot' roiled up his sleeve to exhibit
the marks of the flame, and then con
tinued :
"Xot all of "em. Thirty or forty ran
for'aid, wild like, and afiaid to jump.
The texas was afire before 1 jumped, ami
as I floated in "the liver I saw Ihe red
tongues of flames leaping around the pilot
house. Jim was thai', and thai' he staid.
The water was up, the current heavy, and
the wind blowing agin ns, keeping the lire
back. If Jim went overboard it was good
bye to fifty human souls. He saw it, and
that's where glory covered him from head
to foot. He held her dead level up she
ran till the engines stopped till half the
boat was burned till the devilish flames
burned every hair off his head, and roasted
him as the women serve a piece of meat.
When the engines stopped the boat drifted
down, and at last help came fiom. other
steamers. Jim was picked np in the river ;
swimming like a duck, but died in five
minutes."
There was a long pause, and then l.e
added :
"Jim Whalen's back bone saved all Ihcm
folks. He died afore they could thank
him. There wasn't a passenger or deck
hand who didn't cry like a child; but all
they could do was to bury the poor roasted
body and press the sods down lightly.
Y'ear by year the river has been eating its
way to the grave, and while we shall miss
it, We'll all feel as if the big river hail
more right to ihe coffin of brave Jim
Whalen than the shore. It's only his
bones lying there only his dust which
will float away ; for though the gate of
Heaven is narrow, it was opened plenty
wide enough for Jim Whnl n to go in with
all steam on.'' Yirkhrg Hertr'?.
BounO to Lap Over. "Landlord,"
said a transient guest at a cross road tav
ern, as he drew near the end of the dinner,
"won't yon give me a little more pork to
cat with this potato?" A little later he
said :
"There was more pork than I wanted ;
let me trouble you for a little more potato
to eat with the poik." And shortly after
ward !
"We!l, I declare, I've got some moro po
tato left and it seems a pity to leave it
just a small piece more of pork, if you
please."
It ran on so for som? time. At length
the landlord stopped short in front of his
guest and remarked :
"Look here, stranger, 'taint no use. I'm
willing to do anything in reason to make
that pork and potato even, but I've made
up my mind the way you cat It can't be
did. You're bound to lap over on one or
tho other every time. Now jest make up
your mind which you'd nithcr leave, and
quit. I've got enough jiork and potatoes,
but, if you keep on, you'll bust."
The Indianapolis JhrnVl feelingly re
marks: "The man who designed our
Slate seal is dead. Any man who would
try to make people believe a full -grown
bull would delilterafcly rush up to a gran

ought to die.".
