When the war broke out Jim Dutton was the potma.ter at Blue Rock. He had held the poeition for a number of years, and no man in the settlement stood higLer. Jim's strong point was his honesty. He had very Lttie book-learning, and was ignorant of the ways of the world. Still, w ith the asitance of his wife, a charming little woman, he suc ceeded ia managing th-; business of the poRloriice in such a manner as to give general satisfaction. While the new Confederate govern ment was netting its i3aii-s in order, the old ma hiiiery organised under the Uniled States authorites continued to run on. This was public necessity, as the pormasters rould not all be changed ia an instant, or be recommisaionciL As a clever ieorgian, though not a strong t'oufed rrat'.:.

No event ever in the history ef Dl " Rock created siji h int ne excitement. It was a tantaii'.ing mystery, and it was impossible to unravel it. The rapid pro gress of the war, however, soon a!-.'rbed public attention, and the Dutton episode ceased to be talked about. Som." time aso, in a little town in Western Texas. I accidentally ran aja'n.st Jim Dutton. There was no mistaking the man. Time had d.-alt gmtly with him, and he looked pronperous. I alap p"d him on the back with a hearty "Hello, Jim Dutton'." Jim turned and f. 11 all to pieces, to to speak, lie recoxnized me and shook hands. After a long and pleasant con versation. Jim said: "Colonel, I reckon you would like to know why mv wife and I Uft Blue Keck r "Well, vou mav explain if vou feel like it," I repli'ecL Later in my room at the hotel before a blazing fin? and with a good ciar to stimulate him Dutton unbosomed himself to m. ''Colonel," said he, it m ike me blush now to think what a greenh-.m, what a. miserable ignoramus I was at the begui ninsr of the war." 'Oh. no." I suggested deprecatingly. "But I wan,' continued Jim. "I verily believe I was the biggest fool in Georgia, and yet I thought I was the smartest man in the State. You see, being post master had puffed me up so that I felt aa big as the governor himself. Well, after the Confederacy organized I went ahead under my old Federal commission.attend ing to the postal basinets of the Confederate States. One niht my wife, who was a great reader, hinted to me that may be I had laid myself liable for higi treason. At first I laiczhed at the idea, and thea I rummaged through some old histories and found that in every civilized country where there was a rebellion and a government officer sided with the rebels he was held guilty of treason. Now. it struck me that our se cession was in fact a rebellion, and if we were whipped, as I feared we would be, I would be in a bad box. I told my wife about it, and she reminded me I had a copy of Blackstooe, and advised me to read up on the punishment of treason." Duttoa pausea a moment, and then said: "You see I was so badly scared that I was afraid to consult anybody, and be side there was no lawyer at Blue Rock. I had heard a heap about BLackatone and supposed everything in it was the law of the land. So that night I got tbe book down and my wife and I looked through it. I give you my word that what we read made our hair stand on end. Why, sir, we learned from that book that I was liable to be convicted of treason, drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle, hanjed, divided into four quarters, beside forfeiting my property and having my blood corrupted. My wife burst into a fit of tears and threw her arms around my neck. I blubbered a little, too. "'Just to ttinV said my wife, that my Jimmie must be cut into four quarters like beef, and be hanged, and all sorts of horrid things. 14 'It is bad,' I said, 'and then I see my blood is to be corrupted." " IIow can that hurt you? asked my wife. after you are dead ?' " 'Dunno,' I said, "but I don't like the ilea. "Well, the long and short of it was, we decided to skip. I made my arrange ments about the property as you know, and we slid out one Saturday night. We never stopped till we got away out here. It was oa the frontier then, and bless your soul, the war never- bothered us. We never saw a soldier." "But," said L "didn't you find out very soon that your fears were without foundation 1" 'No, sir; it was years and years before I felt safe. In fact it was some time after the war endetL I had beun to accumulate property. My ranch was turning out well, and I had leisure to read books and newspapers. You bet I looked up that treason business, and found what a monumental fool I had made of myself." I leaned back in my chair and laughed heartily. 'OtC you may laugh," said Dutton, "but my folly and ignorance were the making of me." "You would have done well if you had remained ia Georgia," I replied. "No, I wouldn't. I'd stuck to Blue Rock, and perhaps been postmaster there yet on a salary of T a year. Now I have a ranch worth $110,000. I have knocked about in the world I go every year to St. Louis anil New Orleans, and I am bej-inning to en ioy life. Ci.me home with me and see. I live only twenty miles from here." I had to decline the invitation, as I was going to leave the next day. "You can tell the boys, if you like," said Jim. at parting. "Some of those Blue Rock fellows are as green as I used to be, and I don't care what they may think about it. AnL Colonel, tell them that me and the old woman are getting along just splendid, and that my two sons and two daughters are the finest Wis and Ues in Texas." As I rode orl I turned when I came to the first hill-top, and a half mile below in the vi'.laire street I could ee the ex-postma.st,-r of Blue Rock waving his som brero after me.

DxscKLPi'ioar or the ceremost BT AJST EYS.W lTflkS3. Georgrrue ttaiment of the Guete Tbe Toddling BHde and Abashed Bridegroom Odd Custom.. A gentleman who has seen ft wedding in high life in Japan has given an ac count of the ceremony to a Philadelphia Pr'm representative : "I had been," he said "staying four days in a tea house at Osaka, which, on account of being the seat of all that is prominent in art, liter ature and the drama, is often spoken of as the Paris of Japan, when I was in formed that Tokiwa, a pretty maid of seventeen, the daughter of my host. Fu jama Madura, was to be wedded to Yori tomo San jo, a rich voting man who was proprietor of a big theatre. The wedding was a tremendous affair owins to the high standing of the families of the bride and groom. It was celebrated in the evening, and three of the largest rooms on the second a top floor were thrown into one for the occasion by simply push ing the paper-screen walls that separated them out of the way. Then the spacious apartment was lavishly decorated with bright scrolls of pictures and mottoes and verses from the Japanese poets and with proverbs about matrimony and por traits of all sorts of jolly looking gods of good luck and wealth and happiness. . "The raiment of the jounz ladies and little boys and girls vere simply too gorgeous to be described witaout the aid of a well-stocked paint box. All the girls, big and little had their odd faces (very few of them are pretty) powdered and painted in a manner most fearful to behold, but considered very charming by their countrymen. Their eyebrows were blackened, too, and the girls under twelve years had ail sorts of odd pins in their hair. Above that age no respecta ble female ever makes use of them. "At last everyone had arrived and was seated on the floor of the big room where the wedding was to take place. They made the place fairly hum with their merry clatter, and the youngsters gathered about me in a sort of irregular circle and shook with laughter whenever I spoke to or smiled at them. Their parents tried to keep them, still, but couldn't, and had it not been for their sense of politeness they too would have stared as hard as the children. As it was they would keep their eyes on me when they thought I was not observing them, but instantly looked away and pretended not to be at all curious whenever I glanced their way. At the end of the room where the cere mony was to take place there stood on the matted floor a dwarf pine tree about three feet high and under it the figures of an old man and old woman, the whole symbolizing a long life of married happiness and ft green old aee. There were also two brown storks and a bronze tortoise, and a swinging censor of the eame metal gave forth the rich perfume of burning sandal-wood. On a low stand of gold lacquered wood there were three slender porcelain bottles, covered with figures of the god of wealth and health and other desirable features of life, one being twice the size cf the others, and also a beautiful little cloisonne vessel, looking like a teapot with two spouts, the one opposite the other, and with a handle of laquered bam boo. A small rray, on which were three delicate little china cups, each standing in the one beneath it, completed the 'out tit' necessary for the proper performance of the marriage, which in Japan is neither a religious or a civil ceremony, and no priest or government official is needed to tie the knot. The Japs call the ceremony san-san-ku-do, or three times three are nine. "When three young girls had ceased playing ft very inharmonious composi tion on ft native guitar, a small drum and a squeaky flute, the wedding party entered. First came two girls who were to act as the bridesmaids, and they were dresaed in the loveliest shade of coral pink crepe, embroidered with an irregu bir tlhiht of butterdies. which, the Japs aay, always fly ia pairs, and which are nearly always present in some design or another at weddings. Their sashes were blue and silver. The fair Tokiwa then appeared, toddling between her proul parents (all Japanese women toddle' rather than walk i, and complete ly veiled with a white scarf. Her dress was of dove-colored crepe, with here and there a white stork in full flight across the face of a great round golden sun, from which the rays shot out two or three inches in all directions. Her sash was of the same shade of pink as the brides maids' dresses, with graceful sprays of cherry blossoms stamped upon it, and her tiny feet now and then peeped out clad in snow-white little mittea socks. Following came Yoritomo, quite abashed by the attention he was receiv ing from the audience a.id flanked on either side by his mother and father, both very old people and both the picture of antique good humor. Yoritomo was about twenty-four, short, sturdy, with jet black hair, arranged ia the conven tional fashion, and wore ft cotumc of claret -colored material, over which were designs that l'oked like a terrific thaa-d-r-.storm, with sheet, chain and fork lightning playing about the forms of the most amazing collection of dragons and fishes, which were disporting themselves by twisting themaelves into double bow knots and other uncomfortable positions. It was the most stunning garment I ever saw ou a utau. There was a tremendous amount of etiquette gone throiitrb. ith. Lut the way that thes two youii peopld really got Harried was about as f.io- i.oi.h of the brijesiiiilds took oue of the 5Ua.l boct.es, w t.ch w as li.led w itil t'.e best saki. a sort cf beer Hi.iJ-? from rice, looking iAe p-u.e sherry and Lav ing a iIj!i. in ipid tarte, and poured V.t contents lto t ae Ltzr t.ottla, this a--t being svtticiUjlef tie au;a"-L;g o' the two lives of the pair about to be joined together; and the tray bearing the three little cups was then handed to the bride, whose veil had just been raised, and the upper cup filled from the large bottlf. Miss Tokiws, blushed through her thick coat of paint, and her lips which were entirely covered with gold foil, ported in pretty smile be stowed upon her future lord and master, who returned tbe mile with intens. She then raised the tray and sipped three times from the cup. handed it to Yoritomo, who. with three more sips, emptied it and placed the top cup under the other two. The other bridesmaid then filled the cup now on top, and, six more sips having emptied it. the last of the three was similarly treated ia its turn, and the knot was legally tied. "Ia order to do the thing in the most approved fashion and leave no room for doubt, the donble-spontcd teapot was then filled with saki, and Mr. and Mrs. Sanjo each took a pull at its contents at the same time, and, that over, the parents went through somewhat similar per formance with the three cups, and then everyone congratulated the happy pair and the chattering recommenced more vigorously than before, and a great feast was served below in the public rooms, which had been closed since an hour be fore the wedding. "A party of singing girls then came in and did their level best, which was very, very bad, and, in the jolliest, most child like and generally hilarious manner, the entire company, old, young and middle aged, thoroughly enjoyed themselves until about 10 o'clock, when the happy yonng couple went off to the new house he had prepared for her, in a gorgeously decorated jinricksha, drawn by three men, with a dozen others running before, singing and swinging paper lanterns, and then everyone else went home." The Towm Cow Diseased. One of the most annoying things that the country people have to contend with is the ordinary town cow. When the far mer leaves home he puts in the bottom of his sleigh or sled a bountiful armful of hay. This answers the twofold purpose of a seat and to keep the feet of himself and the good wife warm. He arrives at town, unloads his wife in front of some store, and proceeds to hitch his team at some point about the public square. No sooner is his back turned than a dozen starved cows immediately surround his sled, and before he can say "Jack Robin son, with his own mouth open," every straw in his sled has gone through the gastric orifices of the aforesaid cows. We noticed one particularly careful fellow the other day. Alter hitching bis team he took his hay and carried it into the court-house yard. He was going to have the dead-wood on that bunch of hay, and departed for a saloon with a grin on his face. We watched the pro ceeding with considerable interest. He was not out of sight until three or four long-horns opened the gate and pro ceeded to the pile and chewed it up. Clubbing these lean kine does no good. In fact, they rather enjoy the fun. You can take an ordinary stick of cord wood and bounce it from off their casca-es fifty feet high and they will turn around and smile at you. They don't even grunt when you have hit them hard enough to stave in their ribs. Such punishment seems onlv to act as a tonic; it whets their appetites and makes them enjoy the i repast which the farmer has hauled to them from his home many miles distant. And after it is all over, just notice the piculiar look they give the man who I came to town sitting on a pile of hay, as he departs for home sitting on the bare boards ! The town cow ia a nuisance. I but at the same time a necessity in all j rural villages. A ''home without a ' mother" would not be a more lonesome spectacle than ft rural village without its herd of lean, long-homed, stump-tailed cows. Went Unim (Ohi) People De- i Aft Abie Indian Chief.
