But High Jack happened to think of the United States, and began to talk ethnology. "'Ruins! says Major Bing. 'The woods are full of 'em. I don't know how far they date back, but they was here before I came. "High Jack asks what form of worship the citizens of that locality are addicted to. "'Why, says the Major, rubbing his nose, 'I can't hardly say.

'If you knocked at the door and claimed me, after you were told to go away, said the colonel's bride, 'you would only have your hair pulled, or your ears, or your nose.
