WENTY years ago I Was
known to be a purty good
man in a scrimenage," began
the old possum hunter of
Tennessee as we got our pipes alight
one evening and I asked him for a
story. "Nobody around yere cared to
tackle me, and on one occasion, when
they sent over to Noah Caroleeny fur a
fighter, I had him on the run In ten
rainits. I wasn't pickina no fusses, yo'
understaud, but jest gentle right along
and mindin' my own bizuess. If any-
body come along and wanted to fuss
with me, he got hurt. If he didn't
want to fuss, I had nuthinto say.
"One year 1 was feella' as if I could
tear up rocks, when I got in the way
of a ealliza tree and was badly burt. I
hadn't bin abed above fo' days when
along comes a critter who says to the
old woman:
'"Howdy, ma'am, and does a feller
named Zeb White live around these
yere parts?'
"'He lives right yere,' she says.
" 'And ar' he a man as can outyell,
outjump and outfight any other critter
as stands on legs lu Tennessee?'
" 'He kin take care of hisself in purty
I good shape.'
" 'Tbat's what I've heard, and I've
traveled ninety-seven miles to make
him holler like a young ction. If he
hain't about the cabin please tell me
whar to find him, kase I want to pul-
verize him to once and start back
home.'
"The ole woman had to tell him that
• I was in bed and too hurt to lift a
band. and he took advantage of it to
blow and bluff around in a way to al-
most break my heart. He went around
tbe nayborhood to tell' everybody that
I was hidin' from him and that be
Weeldn't go home till he had made the
holler, and It alla all the ole wdman
could do to keep me quiet. Every day
fur five days that varmint come over
yere, and, standin' out thar by that
stump. be would jump up and down on
bis hat and flop his arms and yell:

Thu Many visitors to London who
flock hero at this time of year will
be interested to bear that the Pyir
Chapel, in Westminster Abbey, which
has hitherto been jealously guarded
from the public gaze, is shortly to
be lighted by electricity and throwa
open for general inspection. Here
was formerly the Royal strong retina
where the regalia and the King's
Money were kept, and frozn this
treasury in 180e, while Edward L
was warring in Scotland, was eitolen
the £100,000 which was to pay the
expenses of the campaign. The
stone door, with seven locks, had
formerly a covering of human. skins,
and one wonders if they were thoee
of the daring • roabers ot Planta-
genet times. The Pyz, whicla contain-
ed the standard piecee of gold and
falver used at the "trial of the
pex," first ordered in the reign ef
Henry II., has been transferrea to
the mint, and the regalia, since the
restoration, have been kept at the
Tower. The only object of interest
now to be sash in the chapel, if we
except a few ancient chests, is an
