Has there been another fight 2” “Not as I've heard of ; but I’ve got a letter from Cyrus.” * What does Cyrus say ?” “He's out o” butes, and clean discouraged.” “And where ye going 7” | ‘Down to Abner Smith's to borry $700,000 to | send to Cymus to get cheep, pair of shoes, and | we're going to write him a long, long letter, and send him a box o’ pills, and tell him to hang on to the last, for if Cyrus gets low-spirited and begins to let go the infernal Yanks will be riding over us afore we kin back a mule outer the barn.” “I kin let you have the money myself, as well as | | not, Iwas saving upto buy three plugs 0’ to- | backer and a box o’ matches all to once, but the army musn't go barefut when it only takes $700,- 000 to $800,000 to get a purty good pair o’ shoes.” HARRIS & NIXON, IMPORTERS OF FINE LONDON HARNESS AND SADDLERY, No. 11 West 27m Srener, New Yorx, GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, 1878, BAKER'S Breakfast Cocaa, Warranted absolutely pure Cocoa, from which the excess of Oil has been removed.
