"That is the meanest man in Birmingham," overheard an elderly woman say to a young lady as she pointed, me out the other evening, and, the girl turned her gazelle like eyes toward me and gazed as though I were some rare bird only to be seen once in life time. : I don't know what grievance the woman had and care less the amusing. part of the- transaction was the gaze of the young lady. She looked at me from head to foot. quizically, and I imagine with fear mingled with veneration.
i A mean man is very hard to find in this day of loafers, dead beats, wife whippers, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., and when the fair creature heard from the lips, of the companion she trusted implicitly that I was the E pluribus unum of Birmingham's mean men, no wonder her eyes popped out like locomotive headlights and she felt a sensation as if ice cold buck shot were rolling down her spinal column. *.
