We had always heard the "Woa haw Buck," or the " Woa haw, Bright," given in tones of bawling only, and had grown to the belief that bawling was the only way of driving. But a little experience in the low keys showed that an ()X, ' as dumb and slow as some call him, had not only a show of in- tellect, but also of the proprieties of his po- sition.
