NICODEMUS DODGE, |

Dental surgeons suggested doctors,

doctors suggested death, death suggest: | ns,—and so, by a logical pro

ed skolet: | cess the ¢ myersation melted out of one | of these subjects audinto the next, until the topic of skeletons raised up Nico- : demus Dodge out of the deep grave in| my memory where he had lain baried | and forgotten for twenty-five years. When I was a boy ina printing office in Misseu ri, a loose ‘ointed, long-legged, two-headed, jeans-clad, countrytiod cub of about sixteen lounged in ono day, ut removing his hands from

and withe the depth ;of his trousers pockets or taking eff his faded ruin of a slouch hat, | whose broken brim hung limp and ragged about his eyes and ears like a buyeeater cabbage leaf, stared jndiffers

iValay ently around, then his hip

loaned against tie editor's table, crossed his | mighty brogans, aimed at ® distant | from a crevice in his upper teeth, laid | him low, and said with composure. |

‘Whar s boss ?’ |

‘Iam the boss,’ said the editor, fol. lowing this curious bit of architecture wonderinzly along up to its clock-face with his eye.

‘Don’t want anybody fur to learn the busiuess, t ain’t likely?

‘Well, [ don't know. like to learn it ?’

‘Pap's so po’ be cain'trun me Do me, so I want to git a show somers if j kin, ’t ain't no diifunce what,—I’m strong and hearty, and I don’t tura my baek on no kied ef work, hard nur soft.’

‘Do you think you weuld like te learn the printing business?’

‘Well, | don’t re’ly k’yer adurn what Idolearn, sos I gita chance tur to make my way. Id jist as soon learn print’n ’s anything.’

‘Can you read?’

‘Yes,—middlin’®.’

“Write ?’

‘Well, I’ve seed people conid lay over me thar.’

‘Cipher?’

‘Net good enough to keep store, | don’t recicop, bul up as fur as twelve times twelve L aint me slouch. ~“lother side of that is wheat gets me.’

‘Whereis your heme?’

‘Tm f’m old Shelby.’

‘What's your father’s religious deno- mination, ”’

‘Him? O, he’s a bieckemith,’

‘No, no,—I don’t meanhis trade. What’s his religious denomimation ?’

‘O,—I dide’t undersiaud you befo’.

He's a Econ ‘No, no, you % get wy meaning

yet. What i mean is, does he belong to any church?’

‘ Now you're talkin’! Couldn’t make out what yeu was . tryin’ to git thro’ yo’ head 1.0 way. B’louging to achurch ! Why, boss, he’s ben ithe pizenest kind of a Free-wiil Baptis’ for forty year. They aint no pizener one’s ’n what he is. Mighty good man papis. lvery- body says that. If they said any dif- ferunt they wouldn’tsay it where I wuz. —not much they wouldn't.’

‘What is your religion ?’

‘Well boss, you've kind o’ got me, thar,—and yit you hain’t got me so mighty much, suther. | think ‘tif a feller be’ps another feller when he is in treuble, and don tcuas, aud don’t do no mean things, nur noth’n he ain’t no business to do, and don’t spell the Saviour’s name with a little g, he ain't running uo risks,—he’s about as sails as ifhe b’longed to a church.’

‘But siippose he did spell it with little g— what then,

‘Well, it he done it a purpose, I reckon ho wouldnt stand no chance, — he oughta’t to have ne chance, anyway I’m most rotten certain about that.’

‘What is your name?’

‘Nicodemus Dodge ’

‘I think maybe yeu’ll do Nicodemus We'll give you a trial anyway.’

‘ All sight.’

‘When would you like to begin?’

‘ Now.’

Within two or three days there have been some rewarkable manifestations of bitter hostility to Grant in unexpected quarters, and a grand organized movement on Chi- cagp, among Republicans who believe and say that Grant weuld be defeated if nom- inated, is pow planned, I never feeling on any subject of difference within a party as there is wpen this, and should Grant be the Republicans
