Old Buokloybrooni.
The United State* authorities ut
Little Rock received intelligence to
tho effect that old wan Buckley broom,
of Faulkner county, had been for
tome time engaged in illicit distilling,
so the arrest of that gentleman be
came a government necessity. Deputy
Marshal Bescal, a man of undaunted
courage, was sent out to lead the old
man to justice. Mr. Bescal has never
associated very much with tho squat,
ters, having hitherto operated in sect
ions of tho country where violence in
stead of craftiness is required.
While riding carefully along a nar
. row road, the deputy marshal saw an
old man sitting on a log.
"How are you, sir?" called Mr. Bes
cal.
"How're yer ?"
"Do you live in this community ?"
"Wall, I hang erroun' here some.'
"What is your business ?''
"PreachinV
"What denomination ?"
"Fust oue an' then tuther.'
"What mak. s you chang ?"
"Wall, you see, if I am a Bnptis
an' the season ain't good, I think that
I oughter change. By tryin' all o'
'em, I'm mighty ap ter git the right
oue airter cr while."
"I'd like to meet some good old
Baytist, for I need a drink of whisky
as bad as anybody ever needvd any
thing in this world. Do you know
who's gut any ?"
"Any Baptists?"
"No, any whisky ?"
"Reckiu the Baptist have got
some."
"Where can I find a Baptist ?"
"Don't know, fur the only one what
lives in this kcrmunity is dead ?"
"How does he live here if he's
dead ?"
"Dam 'fi know."
"Does a man named Buckleybroom
live in this neighborhood?"
"Old Tom Buckleybroom ?"
"Yes, I think so."
"He uster live here."
"Where does lie live now ?"
"He don't." •
"You mean that he's dead, I sup
joge ?''
' Sorter.''
"Isn't there another Buckleybroom
in the community ?"
"Yas, there's one named Jack."
"Where is he ?"
"Wall, take this path up the hill
keep on till yer come ter a spring,
then take the left han' road. Airter
awhile ycr'll come ter a little house.
Git down, go out in the orchard and
yer'll find him."
"How do you know he'll he in the
orchard when I get there? "
"'Cause he knin't leave. He wus
put there las' spring.''
"You mean that he's buried there?"
"Sorter."
"He's dead, then ?"
"Yas, fur we don't bury folks crlive
in this country.''
"What's your name?"
"Potts."
"Where do you live?"
"On the other side the hill."
"Were you in the army ?"
"Yes; I fit fur the Union.''
"I'm glad to know it. You are no
doubt a law abiding citizen ?"
"Yas, I alius have been."
"Would you a-siit any one in en
forcing the law ?"
"Ob, yas."
'There is a man in this coummuni
ty that I want. I am not certain
about his first name, but his surname
is Buckleybroom. Show me where he
lives and I'll give you five dollars."
"That's sorter dangerous, fur if his
folks seed me goin' round wid vcr, it
would far' bail with me."
"Well, direct me so that I can't
miss the way."
"All right," and the old fellow, with
many evidences of nervousness, gave
minute directions. He received the
money and exacted a promise from
the officer that he would ever keep
his mouth shut concerning the trans
action. The old fellow watched the
deputy marshal until he was out of
sight, and then turned to a boy who
stepped from liehind a tree, and said :
"Nick, fetch the bosses, fur this
here neighborhood is sorter bilious.
Made five dollars by tellin' o' a lie
when the truth woulder snatched me.
Wall, he won't get so close to old
Buckleybroom agin this season."—

A REPORTER, who has business in a
sail-loft the other day, heard sonic one
moving about in a small room, parti
tioned off from the loft, anil directly a
voice roared out:
"All clear forward ? Then let go
the stern line!''
There was silence for a few seconds,
aad then the vuioe continued :
"Steady at the wheel! Port a little!
Meet Iter now as she swings!"
"Who is that chap, and what on
earth is lie trying to do?" wa asked
of the sail-aiakcr.
"Oh, lie was mate on a side-wheeler
last year, and this coming season he is
to he a captain ou a propeller. He is
getting his voice in shape for the open
ing of navigation."
Just then the voice roared and bel
lowed aiid rattled arounJ, followed by
the words: "Back her! Go ahead
slow ! Out with tho gang-plank ! Cast
off that stern line !"
"What do you mean by getting his
voice in shape?" was asked of the sail
man.
"I nicati that he lias been practicing
four hours a day for the last month, j
and will continue it for a mouth more.
There is one standard for mates and
another for captains. For instance, a
mate may shout'ls your lino clear?'
and not feel it necessary to freeze the
souli of passengers aboard, but the
captain views i. in a different light.
When he utters an order or shouts an
inquiry lie expects to see splinters fly
from every wareh -u-e. Why, -ir.
when the captain of a first-class pro
-1 peller cries out to go ahead or back
I her h i expects t<> paralyze everything
for a mile around."
"And he needs a voice?'
"Aye, sir, he must have a voice as
heavy as the roaring sea li n. \N lien
; he has the voice he must study pose.
When he has the pose lie must pract
ice facial expression. To he a success
ful captain he must have a voice like
McCullough, a ]s)se like Barrett, and
a dignity of look which might belong
to an offended lion. Then lie stands
up like this—poses about like this —
assumes an expression like this, and
cries out : 'F.ase off that bow line !' '•
, Ar.d from the room at tho other end
of the loft came the rumbling, roar
ing thunder-dap of a voice saying:

Only Ono Chair.
Mr. Wilberforec of Main street, is
not a bad man in his way, but he was
sorely put out the other morning at
breakfast. He bad lent a neighbor
most of his parlor chairs, and when
he entered the room he found but one
of these useful articles left.
He immediately called his daugh.
ter and turning angrily to her, said :
"You entertained Augustus Smith
for two hours last evening in this
room ?"
"I did pa,'' confessed the maiden with
a blush.
"And where did lie sit?"
J "On that chair."
"And where did vou sit?"
"I —I—I "
"No prevarication. Where lid you
sit?"
"I—oh, gracious ! I—l1 —I sat on the
coal hod, pa. "
Mr. Wilberforce says he doubts the
truth of the statement, but where
could the poor girl have sat.

There was a pause of some mom

"Well ?" asked the teacher.

"I don't want a pointer," was the
countryman's reply.
"It isn't going to c-t you a cent "
"You hail better sell the pointer to
someone," suggested the yokel, with
great emphasis.
The man who who was to givt the
pointer looked at his cornhusking
