Si/as At The Fair. (IRON THE BAIL'S non\ ) DEM SEUANTHr—When I wound np my last letter 1 bleeve I was jest a gittiu into the karridge with Site to go home to his house fur a bite ov supper. I call it a karridge, tbo the hansom looked more like a spring waggiu, and dident hove no top to it. It was varnished np wonderful slick tho and Site told me it host him over two hundred dollars. It ens strong hilt, and with seoh roads ez they hav here I don't see how it kin ever wear out. The hosses were bounain big fellers who looked otrong anuff to plow all day and not feel it. They was both ez black as a shedder, and harried their heads about ez hy as they and be got. 1 never seen stall geers in all my life ez they bad on, and I kant begin to tell you how =toll good it dun me to wathh nm trot. They kep ez good time with their feet as old Mike Dodds kin do with a drum, and peered to do it ez easy as Bill Jones cud smoke a pipe. Imo afeerd them bosses has spilt me Erum ever gittin any kumfert out ov ridin behind a mule agin as long as 1 liv. Silo and me sot on the back seat, and it wud a dun your eyes good to hay seen bow I did hold up my head and lean bank. I dontbleeve I ever felt any more like a member ov kongress in my life ez 1: did while them shioin horses was a whirlin ns along thru the streets. 1 dont bleeve it wud a helped my feeling a bit jest then if Ide a bad sugar in my mouth. The black man who drove was dressed in solger klozn and hnd on a plug hat. He oarried his bead ez stiff as tho he bad a bone in his neck, and looked ez solium as if he had made up his mind that he was a goin to ask Site far a rise in hie pay if he had to die far it. Alongside ov the black driver was a dredfol purty young women, which was wan 00 Sites gale who had gum into the store a little before we got reddy to start, to ride home with her pap. I dont kno how it will seem to you, but it peered to me that I hadent never seen anything so skaudlus ez that [fore in my life. A white gal buggy ridin with a darkey in broad daylite, and that too without any objekshnns frum her pap. If I shed ever hav to see wen ov my gals a doin seeb a thing as that I dont bleeve I oud sleep sound at nits, and yin this mornin ez Site and ms was on oar way to the store I seen a wen site. A. white woman with gloves on that hum most up to her elboze, was a ridin with a kullered man and drivin the team big anuff tohold wuu, and there the black feller sot ez atilt as a ramrod with his arms folded akrost his breast. I tell you it made me feel ez tho I dident keen a pasnip whether I ever voted agin or not, I dont objeekt to a young womnu a ridin to town with n hired hand on a load ov hay when thores any rant noedeessity or it, if the feller is white, but this thing ov your own flesh and blud a buggy ridin with a barber, I tell you it stirs me 'leer up. I0 wog amazia to me haw match nicer things look in this town when yure a ridin in a karridge from what they do when yuro a goin it on foot. Ez we rode along Site pinted out places and told me who laved in nm, that went away ahead ov what I ever expected to see in this world. I tell you, old women, you kin ride fur rods here where things is so putty on both sides ov the road that you dont want to wink wunat, nod if I and only be sure that bevvin was ez grand ae sum parts ov this town that Silo has had me druv tbru, Ide be' willin to pay more than ez mutoh agin quarteridge as I am a doin now to sit to it, and Ide be willin to hav you put a full grown chicken in the preeohsre buggy ovey time he koro to see us. We rode tln'u streets where there wuz. tent a house tar a mile that wuzzent big snuff and fine anuff fur an augel to lav in and be satisfied. It was hard fur me to understand how they and all hav ben put there without ita rninin mutiny. I saw tum places that I wad most be willin to swop our (arm fur and throw in the pigs and obiokens, bat ov all the snipshus homes I saw, I dontbleeve there sons wan that mud mutate more than hold a handle to Sites house, There letiub no pikchere in any book that wad p19 you even haft an idea ov how wonderful slick Silo is fixed up. Evey thing is too grand fur you even to gesoat. bine Dollar to garret haze got eveything ez One as silk, and no matter where you stand to look you cant heli' but groan ez yon think ov how onmerciEal expense has ben piled up. I paint aekedSite yin what the place post him, but I will tomorrow. Ivo ben too bizzy a trytn to find out what he paid for ethos things to gib to that. The house is plenty big anuff to keep tavern in, it raaly ie, and so for ez I kno tbeyve got carpet in eery room, Hirt in gun[ ov um it dont quite reach all over. In the dinin room, fur instance, troy only hav a carpet under the table, but Whet,: ever the fluor le bare it looks wipe it had ben sandpapered and varnished. I never in my life had any noehnn that things oud be ez grand anywhere ontoide ov story hook ez Site has got 0511, fur even his etable looks better on the out- side than any houee in Ciderville. All door his priming you kin see that tntlnny THE BRUSSELS POST Om. 27, 1893 lune been Meowed away fur things that httint ov no urthly yuee exoept to look at. The bildin le four [Aortes hy, and es fiat OE a now churn Irani bottom to top. It etands all alone by itself in se little med. der without no fence around it to keep bis nabers cows out, and I reckon its four miles or seoh a matter from hie grocery, If it was my plane I wudent sleep Datil I hnd ram not lase than two strings ov barbed wire along the front ov it, The bildin peers to have been hilt out ov sum kind ov stone that must hav quite a chance ov kopperas in it, for ite ez green as grass, and I ehudent wander if it wont bo years before it will need any whitewash, Ez I sod a spell back, Sites ground lays rite oat in the weather without doin nobody any good or bringing him in a cent, for inetid ov tru0kiu it and raizin his own kabbidge and so on, whioh cad he dun ez well as not, hem got it seeded down in grass whioh he dont even meter, and which he keeps trimmed ez loose ez the hair on a town fellers head. So the ground paint a doin him no good at all, ez I kin make out, except to raize sum flowers and other noneeuse that he cant nether eat nor sell. Thereat a rite smart sprinkliu over it ov bushes that a hired hand and grub out in week and put 1t in prime order fur plantin in pertaturs and such. And then fur anuther thing, bete got the patch all klattered np with walks that bidet no more needed than wail paper in a chicken knpo, and there bniut wan ov ell[ that runs within gun. shot ov what yndo oall strata. Theyre eery last wan ov nm ez krooked ez a rams horn, and a blind man with a dog to lead him ort to make a shorter out to the house than has ben dun with the straitest ov the lot. Shattered arotmd here and there over the redder is a lot ov figgers ekulped out ov bronze and marble that wad look skandlns in a graveyard, on akountov not bean dressed decent. I Dant see no sense in um and dont kno what under the tun heze got um there far, bskaws not havin any garden he dont need no skeerkroze. Ib jest looks to me ez tho the man was wurried like all !catnip to kno what to do with hie munny, fur its (deer to be seen that hezo ben throwin it around by the handful without no sense or gumpehun. I did low to say a heap more in this letter, but ez Iva used up my last sheet ov paper I bleeve Ile quit. So good by fur the present. 'foam in 'clover, Smas GANDERFOOT. Gerrit'..
