A gentleman visiting Mt. Pleasant re-cently
told an interesting story of his
experiences in the South during the re-cent
unpleasantness. At the age of
nineteen lie was living in Texas when
the war broke out and as lie had been
for some time a resident of the sunny
South, liis feelings led him to enlist in
the rebel army. One year of military
life, with its advances and retreats, its
just beginning to find out that the uue i;vely Skirmishes and its weary picket
duty, took away all his yearning for re-nown
and he returned to Texas to enjoy

SENATOR ANTHONY, on account of ill-ness,
lias declined the election of Presi-dent
of the Senate pro tem., and it is
likely that Senator Edmunds has been
chosen to the place.
THE ranks of the Republican party
seem to want James G. Blaine as a Presi-dential
candidate for the coining cam-paign
but there is no likelihood of his
nomination, as the “leaders” are against
him.
A CONVENTION to form a new labor
party was held in Philadelphia hst Sat-urday.
The western part of the State
was not largely represented as the labor
lenders do not deem it practicable to
form a party now and are rather dis-trustful
of the eastern management.
JUSTICE in Tennessee, besides having a
leaden heel seems to have a hand of
steel. Two judges came into controversy
a few days ago over the economy of their
respective courts and each whipped out
a knife to use upon the other when by-standers
interfered and prevented a va-cancy
being made upon the bench.
ONCE more James Nutt is called upon
to answer to the charge of murder. The
theory of the defence will probably he
that the prisoner stung by the injustice
of the acquittal of his father’s murderer
brooding over the wrongs done his fam-ily
by Dukes and constantly thrown in
the presence of the destroyer of his hap-piness,
ultimately lost his reason and in
a moment of insanity fired the fatal
shots which closed the career of Dukes.
The outcome of the trial will be awaited
with great interest.
IN order to guard the great cattle inter-ests
of the nation, a bill will be offered
in Congress appropriating $15,000,000 by
the Government for the suppression of
contagions diseases in cattle, to he dis-tributed
among the States and Territo-ries
in the ratio of representation in
Congress, provided each State appropri-ate
a sum equal to the amount given by
the Go vernment. The legislation pro-posed
is to make the shipment of cattle
known to be diseased a penal offense; to
establish a Cattle Bureau in the Depart-ment
of Agriculture; to increase the
powor of the Commissioner of Agricul-ture
; to provide funds for the elaborate
investigation of diseased cattle; to pro-vide
an appropriation for the purchase
of diseased cattle so that they tnny he
destroyed; appropriation to be asked
for the first year $500,000.
A Novel Sled Ride.
On Saturday afternoon while a train
on the Allegheny Valley Railroad was
being loaded with snow at ttie Twenty-ninth
street crossing, in Pittsburg two
hoys unnoticed by the workmen or
train hands fastened their sled to the
brake bar of the rear car, and the hoy
upon the front of the sled tied the rope
afcmnij his waist. The train being load-ed
it started off, and gradually increased
its speed until one of the boys on the
sled became alarmed and threw himself
from it to the track, the other who had
the rope around his waist attempted to
untie the rope, but tire strain was so
great that such a thing was impossible.
While lie was trying to release himself the
sled struck a switch, throwing him to
the ground and breaking the rope. Had
the rope been stronger the venture some
lad might have been killed, as it was lie
mada a narrow escape. Neither of the
lads were over 9 years old, and it is to
be presumed that they will not soon
take another Bled ride behind a train,
as they escaped without injury.
he applied for permission to furnish
j slices to the army. He had difficulty in
securing sureties upon liis bond, but
! finally was successful and upon presen-tation
of his papers properly authentioa-
) ted, he was awarded the contract under
I twenty thousand dollars bond for its
j fulfillment. Without a cent in the world
J to buy leather, lie stepped down the
I street of a sleepy old town fulf of hope
for the future and thinking of the mil-
I lions to he made. As he stepped along,
he met an acquaintance whom he asked
about the whereabouts of leather. He
told him of his contract and of his plans.
The gentleman interrogated said that he
had a lot of leather worth eight hundred
dollars and together they went to see it.
The owner said the leather was not for
sale for money, but that lie had a num-ber
of baled of cotton which he wished to
export into Mexico and which he could
not get away owing to the confederate
law just passed which prohibited the
exportation of cotton into Mexico. From
this law the contractors were exempt,
they being allowed to export any pro-duct
hv which ttiey could get material
in exchange for the purpose of carrying
out their contracts. The owner of the
leather told the boy contractor that if he
would send the cotton across the line in
hie name, the leather should he his free
of all cost. This ho did, securing an or-der
for its safe passage from the com-mandant
of the rebel forces and the
leather was dully turned over to him,
whence it went in due time ns brogans
to the soldiers in the field. During the
first flush of war the youngster made
money rapidly, but when the fortunes
of the Confederacy began to wane, llte
tide turned the other way and every pair
of brogans issued by him represented
from two to three dollars of a loss. He
counterbalanced this by a moonshine
trade in export certificates of contractor’s
cotton. Many a bale passed the eyes of
the custom’s officers which were smug-gled
through on the contractor’s frank,
while the owners thereof paid their gold
to the youngster who was running his
business with Yankee shrewdness. Af
ter twenty months operations, the gen-tleman
surrendered his contract, pocket-ed
$11,000 in gold and quietly made his
way northward when lie has since lived
as one of the few men who made money
below Mason A Dixon’s line by the
“Lost Cause.”
FIRE AT WEST NEWTON.
The (‘liun-h of Clod fliirnl Oat by a Dptci -
five llratfr.
The West Newton Press furnishes the
following particulars of the fire which
occurred on last Friday week at that
place:
“Between the hours of two and three
o’clock, Friday morning, one of our Ger-man
citizens observed smoko issuing
pretty freely from tho Church of God.
He immediately gave thcalarm and Rev.
Davis, the pastor, who occupies the par-sonage
adjoining, was the first to re-spond.
In a few minutes a score or more
persons had arrived at the scene of the
blaze. Word was sent to Hie paper mill
to give the alarm, and the tooting of the
mill whistle aroused quite a number of
our citizens out of their warm beds, to
learn where the tire was, which was hard
to locate on account of the fire being
confined to the inside of the building.
The fire department was promptly on
the grounds but it was some few minutes
before a stream could he played on the
blaze, owing to the intense heat and
dense smoke which filled the building.
The hosemen were determined not to bo
battled so they crawled into the building
on their hands and knees and commen-ced
playing on the fire. By tiiis time
more than a hundred people were on the
grounds. Water was carried from neigh-boring
wells and thrown into tubs which
was used in recharging the extinguisher.
Considerable water was also thrown into
the building, hut it did no more good
than to protect the floor as the heat was
too great to carry the buckets of water
into the building. The fire department
worked with a will, and together with
the heroic efforts of the citizens the fire
was extinguished hut not until after the
church was almost completely gutted,
causing a damage of about $2,000. The
fire is supposed to have originated in the
upper part of one of the heaters. A very
interesting meeting had been in progress
that night, and it was about ten o’clock
before the last person left the building.
The pastor, Rev. Davis, performs the
part of janitor, and before leaving the
building he took extra precaution to see
that everything was all right, but the
supposition is that the woodwork took
fire during the meeting and kept char-ring
until it got some air, and then com-mcncod
its ravages. A hole about 20 feet
square was burned in the floor. The
Sabbath school and prayer meeting room
is a total wreck, and all the furniture in
the auditorium is badly charred ; a very
fine Estey organ is so badly damaged as
to render it worthier.”

OUR CORPS OF LOCAL REPORTERS
A SAD SUICIDE.
A FOOLISH FEAT.
A Miner I,o»rs nu Arm W title Crawling
Finley n Moving Traill.
On Monday afternoon a miner named
Daniel Somers, at the Standard coke
works, returning from labor, attempted
to crawl under a train of coke cars which
was slowly moving through the Standard
yards. He was caught by the car wheels
and before he could extricate himself,
his left arm was terribly crushed. His
heart-rending screams while entangled
among the wheels were heard around
the neighborhood and a crowd soon
gathered. The wounded man was ten-derly
lifted and carried to his home
where Dr. Marsh, who fortunately hap-pened
to be in the vicinity, amputated
the injured member.
Pole Proprietor.
Mr. Julius Lowy, the junior member
of the clothing firm of Oettinger <fc Lewy
lias purchased the interest of Mr. Oettin-ger
in their store and will hereafter con-duct
the business in his own name. We
understand that Mr. Oettinger will re-tain
his connection with the house as a
salesman.
Anntomtcully Imperfect.
Sylvester Hunt, who lives with Harris
Houseman, near Bellevernon, has been
annoyed for some time with one of his
limbs which bfecomes displaced at the
knee joint every four or five weeks, and
lie was always successful in placing it
back in its socket without surgical aid
until a few days ago, when it became
displaced, and Dr. Hazelett, of Bellever-noti,
was called, who said it was oae of
the most remarkable cases on record,
and he was unable to do anything for
the sufferer. Dr. Enos was summoned,
who succeeded in replacing it. He as-signs
as the cause of it being displaced
that the tendon on the under portion of
the leg is too strong, and by a quick
movement the limb is removed from the
knee.socket, and there is nothing to
draw it back in its proper position until
leplneed by hand. Mr. II. is now stay-ing
indoors nutsing the painful limb.
A Wonderful Dreamer.
Fred Joyce, of Youngstown, Ohio, the
youngjmim who claims to have discov-ered
the Ashland murderers through a
dream and to have performed numerous
similar feats of second sight, declares
that he has seen the entire Nutt trial in
a dream. He says the trial will last two
weeks and ho full of sensational inci-dents.
It will lie one of the most note-worthy
murder trials ever known, and
the pleas on oach side will be wonderful
efforts. The charge of the Judge will lie
characterized by perfect fairness, and
the jury will go out while scores of
ladies in the court room and elsewhere
will pray aloud for the prisoner. Injust
45 minutes the jury will return with a
verdict oi “not irnilty.” There will
then bo great manifestations of joy in
Pittsburg, and young Nutt was feted,
dined and loaded with presents. Hewill
remain in Pittsburg four days alter his
acquittal and will then return home.

Hunting Her Brother.
The Connellsville Courier says: A
young girl from Hungary arrived in Bal-timore
two weeks ago where she ex-pected
to find friends. Disappointed in
this she started to walk to Connellsville
where she hoped to find a brother who
works at some one of the neighboring
works. She was on the way two weeks
and when stie arrived at Connellsville
on Tuesday, she was bare-footed and
her feet bleeding from every pore. She
took quarters at the station house where
she was visited by some of her country-men
who promised to hunt up her
brother. She is neat and tidy in ap-pearance,
notwithstanding her long and
exhaustive tramp, and seems cheerful
and anxious to work.

THE NUTT TRIAL.
Opening of iltc Celebrated Cwe In Pltts-bnrg—
A Jury Seenred.
At ten o’clock yesterday morning the
trial of James Nutt for tho killing of
Nicholas L. Dukes began before Judge
Stowe in Pittsburg. The court room was
crowded to repletion with people anxious
to see tlio young man whoso bloody
avenging of his father’s death has made
him known throughout the length and
breadth of tlie United States. The Com-monwealth
was represented by J. L.
Johnston and John Boyle, of Union-town,
and I). F. Patterson, of Pittsburg;
tho defense, by Marshall Swartzweldor
and A. M. Brown, of Pittsburg, with
Messrs. Boydand Playford, ofUniontown.
Senator Voorhees was not in attendance
The prisoner was brought into tlie Court
room and placed in tlie dock. The jury
panel was catted and then Clerk Rowand
arraigned the prisoner formally. Tlie
selection of a jury then began, Messrs.
Swart zweltler and Brown conducting the
part of tlie defense. The jurors were
called, sworn upon Mr dire and asked
Hie usual questions. David Jenkins, a
steel worker, was tlie first man chosen
Then followed a number of ineffectual
calls, some of the jurors having formed
and expressed opinions while others
were challenged peremptorily. James
McCully, of McKeesport, collector, was
the second juror accepted. F. M. Leo,
coal dealer, of Allegheny, was tlie third.
Thomas Fair, bricklayer, of Pittsburg,
was Hie fourth. Many challenges fol-lowed.
With Thomas Graham, a far-mer
of Pine township secured as fifth
juror, there had been forty-eight jurors
called. Tlie balance of the panel was
ailed and no further additions made to
the list. Those who lmd been ordered
to stand aside were then recalled and
five more men were obtained, James
Carson, James Jenkins, engineer, Louis
Emanuel, Charles Grassel and Charles
Havis.
The Court then ordered the Sheriff to
prepare a list of talesmen and have it in
readiness for the use of the Court at
three o’clock in the afternoon. The
Court then adjourned until that hour.
At three o’clock tlie Court re convened
and out of tlie thirty talesmen selected
by the Sheriff the last two were chosen,
R. I). Nicholson, a clerk, and John Mc-
Goweu, a steel melter. By judges of
jury service, tlio twelve men are consid-ered
as making a good jury for tlio de-fendant
After the completion of tlie
panel, the trial was adjourned until
to-day.
The prisoner looks pale from his long
confinement but his spirits are good,
though ho seems to be suffering some-what
from nervous debility.

Sonio veracious newspaper man states
that the P, MoK. A Y, road is getting
500cars of coke daily from the coke re-gion.
As the total output now is but
600 cars and this aggregate is divisible
between the Pennsylvania, tho 15. ,t O.
and the P. MoK. A Y, there is evident-ly
something wrong with the paragraph-er’s
arithmetic.
Tlie West Yough bridge, which forms
a connection from tho B. A O, road to the
Pittsburg, McKeesport and Yougliio-gheny
road, was moved about four
inches by the running ico last weok, and
it is feared that as soon as the ieo starts
to run again that it will ho carried oft’.
Tho B. A O. peoplo refuse to transfer any
more coke across it, as they claim it is
unsafe for traffic. Men are watching it
and carpenters have 1 icon set to work to
repair it, but they say they can do but
very little until tlie water falls and the
ice goes out.
Contracts for work on tlie llempficld
oxtonsion, from Washington to Con-nellsville,
have been awarded to McCabe
Bros1 and Thot>.' Smith, of Baltimore,
Md. Tho former contracted for live
miles at Wheeling end of the road,
which includes tho Henry and Brady
tunnels. Tho latter tunnel is in a dan-gerous
condition. In 1882 several
months’ work was done on it, and at dif-foront
periods since a small amount of
work has been done. Thiee miles at tho
Connellsville end vveroj let to Thos.
Smith. Contracts will probably be let
tlie latter part of this week for work
along tne Monongahela river, including

early inception of work on the Monon-gahola
river division of tho Hempfleld
road, which was completed from Wheel-ing
to Washington, Pa., more than
twenty-five years ago.
Under the now pool, coke shipments
between Connellsville and Pittsburg
are divided up between the three rival
roads as follows: Pennsylvania, 47 per
cent.; Baltimore A Ohio, 33 per cent.;
Pittsburg, McKeesport A Youghiogh-
»nv. 20 per cent. fhe latter road reach-about
770 out of nearly 10,000 ovens,
and its percentage of tho pool is the pro-duct
of 2,000 ovens. in order to got its
share the other roads are compelled to
deliver a certain number of cars to it
and tlio Pennsylvania road lias determin-ed
upon Summit station as its pomt ,.t
delivery. Tlie grading now in progress
is being done for the siding room for
transfers. Tlio Baltimore A Ohio deliv-er
point will lie at Broadford.
11 may Boem strange that the Vander-bilt
interests get so large a percentage
of the pool when their road roaches such
a small percentage of the coke ovens of
tho region. But this is duo to several
causes, principally because it is part of
an agreement on tho part or Vanderbilt
to push ids lines on further in tho
northern end oftl.e coke Held, and sec-ondly,
his position in tho West enables
him to demand this.

THE RED SKY GLOWS.
The red sunsets, whose first appear-ance
called out the fire deprrtment in
several widely separated towns, are still
an unsolved mystery. For three months
the heavens have been illuminated morn-ing
and evening with a crimson glow,
which di,i'ers form the ordinary phenom-ena
of suii’ise and sunset in its greater
brilliancy, wider sweep and in the fact
that it does not accompany sunrise and
sunset' blit precedes or follows them by
about one hour, showing that the reflec-tion
of light, if such it is, comes to us
from a substance forty or fifty miles
above the ear.h’s sutface.
That this display might be a misplaced
aurora boreolis was ail explanation sug-gested
tttitl diopped almost as quickly as
the theoty of a great conflagration.
These served for a day, but we have
been three mouths getting a better one.
In the antipodes the same ‘ Cloud Glow”
was attributed to the aurora australis.
The Gove, nme.it astronomer of Australia
explains it by the presence of aqueous
vapors in the higher strata of the atuios-pheie.
He predicted ivet weather in
consequence, and liis prediction was fol-lowed
by copious rains all over the Aus-tralian
continent. The same sky glow
elsewhere lias not been attended by un-usual
wet weather. The vapor theory,
which first was put forth by men of sci-ence
in many quarters, lias been aban-mystcrlcs
of astronomy, and laymen
may lie excused if they received it wi h
some incredulity. Professor Uangly
tells us that over 10,000,000 of meteorites
enter our atmosphere dally and are dis-sipated
in dust and vapor in the upper
atmosphere. The amount of matter
added to the atmosphere in lids way is
estimated at not less than 100 tons nor
more than 1000 tons daily. In order to
produce the peculiar condition of the
atmosphere noted for three months past
the meteoric stream would have to be
unusually dense and fully fifty million
miles hi thickness. Professor J.augly
concludes that it would be hardly possi-ble
that there should he such a meteoric
influx unaccompanied by shooting stars,
which would make its advent visible to
all. Without rejecting the meteoric
theory entirely, he regards it as ex-tremely
Improbable.
The theory which now finds most gen-eral
acceptance is that of volcanic dust
in the upper atmosphere, thrown out in
the great eruptions in Java and elsewhere
in August last. This explanation was
first put forth by Mr, J. Norman I.ock-yer,
a noted physicist of London. Pro-fessor
I.angley accepts It as probably the
t .ne explanation, lintMr. Proctor rejects
it. 11 accords, however, so nearly with
the common observation and experience
that iuqiii.cis find relief In such a reason-able
explanation of the unusual phenom-enon.
Every big conflagration give: us,
on ti smti’l scale, something of the same
results which the Jaea eruptions pro-duced
on a large scale. After the great
eruptions of the Alaska volcanoes, in
October last, fine pumice dust was de-posited
many miles away. In the great-er
convulsion in Java is is not improba-ble
that finely pulverized matter was
Inline tip by tiie ascendant air curpents

t> ese sky glows have become familiar
si,ice that ertipJon, while they were
never seen, excepting as local phrnom-ena,
before. So great was the mass of
matter thrown tip by this Java volcano
that intense darkness covered the land
and sea at noonday for many miles
around. The nearer we get to the island
the more extraordinary are the accounts
of .lie sky glow. In India the sun was
a pale gteen at midday, while the reflec-t'd

RAILWAY BUILDING IN THE STATE.
However great the stagnation in the
railway building industry in other States
may be during the comingyear, in Penn-sylvania
at least the promise is good for
a genuine revival of that industry, the
like of which lias not been seen for some
time. During the past year charters
have been granted at Harrisburg for
forty-one different standard gauge rail-ways,
with a contemplated total length
of 1.0GO miles, and six narrow-gauge
roads, with a contemplated length of
•JOG miles.
At the close of 1882 the total length of
all the railways in the State was 0,792.62
miles. The total number of miles of
new road constructed within the State
during 1831 was 105 miles anc during
1882 520 miles. The statistics for 1883
are not available yet, bnt the mileage of
new road built during the past year was
probably less than during 1882. It will
thus be seen that the way is prepared for
a much greater aggregate mileage of new
rahvay during the coming year than
during any previous year for a long
period.
Of course It is easy to get charters,
even where there is no immediate inten-tion
of building railways. It is quite
possible that several of the charters pro-cured
last year were obtained by parties
who merely want to hold a right of way
or to make a profitable sale of their char-tered
t ights to somebody wlto they think
must have them at any price. Allowing
a liberal margin for mere speculative
charters, however, it etill remains evi-dent
that railway building in this Com-monwealth
is to get an old-fashioned
boom.
The three great trunk lines, Including
the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio
and the Reading, with its powerful ally,
the New York Central, are engaged in a
desperate battle for supremacy in the
future, and the coal ami lumber resour-ces
of Pennsylvania arc the tempting
prizes toward which each corporation
casts its longing eyes. By far the largest
proportion of the contemplated new
lines are intended to be adjuncts and
feeders of these great rival corporations.
The principals in this species of rivalry
know full well the value of promptness
and energy in a contest of this kind, and
being each backed by ample capital their
new lines will doubtless be pushed with
all possible energy.
It Is extremely fortunate for the iron
and steel industries of this State that
while tiie demand for their products for
railway building purposes is very much
depressed in other localities, it is likely
to be brisk at home. The local demand
for rails and other supplies of this na-ture
cann*t be expected to entirely sup-i
many quarters of tiie world.
Meteoric dust was the next explana-tion'

just the same.
As Edward Herbert of Bay Shore,
L. I., sat at the breakfast table on Fri-day,
he heard a church ball ring twice.
Thinking it an illusion, he said to ilia
dauglit “There, I’ll bet anything
father's dead.” A few minutes nf'er-ward
he received a (ologtam hiocmhig
him of liis father's death, which occur-red
suddenly that morning. The bell
had actually rung.
TlieDnko ofC'aivino, wlto was captur-ed
by brigands on tiie evening of the 4th
of November in (be neighborhood of
Trapani, Iialy, has been released by liis
captors on payment of a ransom of 150,-
000 francs of bis family, who never ex-pected
o sec him alive again, he be’
very obese, advanced in age and aftUc!.-
e(l with nervous malady. He had pass-ed
thirty-five days with tiie brigands,
and, strange to say, the treatment he
has received, though by no means
pleasant, lias had tiieelfeetof complete-ly
curing him.
That soldiers are not always able to
appreciaie nAautiful scenorv isjev’dent
from the following inscription, said to
be written on a tree in the Yellowstone
Park, ihe outer bark of the tree hav-ing
boen scraped off with a trowel bnyo-nei:
“Howard’s Army camped here
Sept. 4th. '77. Chief Joseph and Fisher’s
Scouts three days ahoad. Surrounding
scenery would be darn fine if a fellow
had any grub in Ills stomach. God
bless our camp—(and send us a supply
train). A. J. Fay, E Co., 2tst Infant-ry.”
Miss Susan B. Anthony protests
against some rude wood-cut proD'aits of
herself and Mrs. S anton which hive
bean printed in several country papers.
Site writes: “They are too horrible to
have our names written under them.
Mrs. Stanton is a very fine-looking wo-man,
and the press, If they send out pic-tures
pretending to represent her,
ought at least get a photograph from
iter that she considers tolerably fair. As
for myRelf it cannot lie said I am a beau-ty:
thereloream I more sensitive at be-ing
made more ugly than truth absolute-ly
demands."
During the performance of a thrilling
play in Norwalk, Conn., last week, a
well-known physician of the town, who
seldom entered a then 'e, was among
the audience. When the part eatne
wiiere the heroine swal'owod the poison,
is dying, and her lover and friends are
wringing their hands and crying, help
leas'y, “What can bo done?” the doctor
was seen to bo laboring under consider-able
excitement. At last the fenible
scene was too much for him, and, for
getting where ho was, he jumped to his
feet and shouted:‘ Give her coffee, you
—fools; give her coffee!” 'Then a friend
ly hand pulled him back into his seat
and the surprised actors went on with
the play.
Although Paris is full of hotels, cafes
and eating-houses of all kinds, from
the splendid g and hotel to the shops
where you can get a doubtful dinner for
ten sons, still the French are very mod-erate
enters. At 8 o'clock in tho morn-ing
they luko a slight t epa-t of cafe au
lait and a small quantity of bread and
butter. After that they cat nothing un-til
tiie 12 o'clock dejeuner a lafcurch.-
eite, which is a pro. y subs initial meat
breakfast, with fish, eggs and vegeta-bles
a id a boLde of wine. At 6 o'clock
din.tor is the last meal of the day,
Everybody drinks wine—men women
and children—but drunkenness is almost
unknown among the French people.
In Springfield, O., they have a little
boy not yet four years old, the son of
a German saloonkeeper, who smokes
strong cigars with as much apparent
relish as (lie most adult habitual user
of the weed. When the little feilow was
an infant in arms, fourteen months old,
a cigar was given him in fun by one of
the customers in the saloon. From
that day to this the boy h83 been a jolly
smoker. Pipes, cigars, plgargiies,
everything of a smokabie nature were
eagerly sought for, A physician who
made an examination of the child says
he can find no trace of the tobacco or
nicotine influence. The habit has be-come
so natural that tho effect of the
poison is lost on the boy's system. For
the last two months the boy has only
averaged a dozen cigars a day, which
are given to him by his father’s custo-mers,
who like to see him smoke.
STILL A SLAVE HOLDER.
A Itlp Van Winkle From the Wilderness
Willi Two Serfs to Sell,
Staunton Letter to the fluttlmoro American.
A strange lemhidcr of the ante-bellum
days was witnessed a short time ago in
the busy streets of tiie peaceful city of
Staunton, in the Valley of Virginia. A j
sturdy mountaineer from Pocahontas
county, West Virginia, Ims ninde liis
way from Ids secluded fastness in an out-lying
district across the Cheat and Alle-gheny
Mountains, 150 miles to tiie near-est
center of civilization to make sale of
tome stock, the fluctuations In whose
value once sent a th-ob through the com-mercial
world. In Ids li'glt and Isolated
eyrie, enjoying tiie Independent frecdo.n
and simplicity ofrtt al life, he hail not
heard of “war’s alarms,’’ and none of the
confusion Incident to secession Imd dis-turbed
tiie peaceful rounds of Ills life.
He had tended Ids flocks, cultivated the
soil and prospered until tiie surplus was
beyond liis consumption. Reckoned
among liis wealth that could he disposed
of as no longer necessary for Ids needs
were two-flnely built colored men, audit
was more particularly to sell these that
he had gotten (lie consent of liis mind to
make the perilous journey to the nearest
point within the pales of civilization.
Arrived in Staunton he asked for a
slave dealer and tried in vain to sell liis
staves. He could not lie convinced that
there had been a great war and at last
left in disgust. When last seen lie and
bis dusky property were on ills way hack
heme to enjoy a life free from the vices
of an unreal civilization.

For tliP
Dying of Thtrflt.
From the Philadelphia Call.
“Did you ever suffer extreme hunger
or thirst!” was asked of a Kentucky Col-onel
who lias been relating some solid
stories about himself.
“Well,” lie replied, “l never suffered
what might lie called extreme hunger,
blit no man knows how to endure tiie
agonies of thirst better than I do.
“1 remember the time well,” he cott-tinuad
retrospectively. “I wits on a fish-ing
excursion and became lost in the
woods. For three days not a drop pass-ed
my lips. My lengthened absence final-ly
caused alarm and a party was sent out
in search of me. They found me lying
11 tin unconscious condition 011 the batik
of a little trout stream, and it was hours
before any hopes of saving me were en-terialned.”
“Wa•s tiie trout stream dry* !” asked one
of tiie interesting listeners.
‘Dry? Certainly not. How could I
catch fish if tiie stream was dry?”
“Well, I don’t see how you could suf-fer
from thirst with a stream of water
close at hand.”
“Water close at hand!” repeated tiie
Kentucky Colonel. “And wliat lias
watt? got to do with a man’s being
thirsty?”
New Regulation* Gorewiing School Tick
e.'fi 011 Pennsylvania R. R.
Another liberal departure was made
on January l9t by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in striking out the
restriction as to age from the rules gov-erning
the issue of school tickets. Here-tofore
the sale of such commutation
tickets was limited to pupils of educa-tional
institutions under eighteen years
of age. This having been abolished,
students, without regard to age, attend-ing
elementary, scientific, or art schools,
will be entitled ?o purchase these tickets.
This is as it should be, and there is
lit tie doubt but that the advantage will
be so woll appreciated by residents along
the lino that the including of students
over eighteen will readily result in an in-creased
revenue by virtue ot the increase
of travel stimulated by the reduced rate.

OETTINGER & LEWY,
An experimental work has been go-ins
op for a short time along the Mil-waukee
an4 St. Paul Railroad branch
and the Brandon branch, about thirty
miles in length, tho object being tq
determine whether or not the bapbed
wire of the fence on either side of tha
of the road can be utilized for telegraph-ic
purposes. The fence wire was plac-ed
in proper oondiiion for a sufficient
distance to make a satisfactory test, tha
wire being run uuder the surface at
road cressingp. Superintendent of tele-graph
Simpson decides that the plan is
not practicable,.Telegraph work can be
doDe over the fence wire in Summer
he says, but during the Winter months
when huge snow banks completely cov-er
the fence, the line would be made use-less.
There are thousands of miles of
wire fence along the Western lines,
and it has been contended that they
should be utilized for this purpose, |

EXCHANGING HUSBANDS.
A CASE OF WOMAN'S INSTINCT.
A Sprightly Comedy Which Happened
In n London ItnlftVHj- Slullon
Not Long Slntf
Pretty Mrs. Valery wns a merry, light
hearted little creature mid very charming

of her sex : but mid to this that her
husband was devoted toiler, and thi.t all
t he men of her acquaintance admired her,
and there la quire snfllcie.it reason for the
enmity felt towards lie: by all women less
fasehia lug—or, ns they wduld have said,
less clever.
In truth Mrs. Vallery was the most ir.-
noeeut lltllo woman in the world, and it
was very easy tor her to walk in the path
of virtue, as she had the exceptional ad-vantage
of being in love with her hus-band.
But, of course, her female friends
could not he expee.ed '.o believe that,
though the moil lied all found it oft long
ago, and admired her all the more for it.
She accepted their admirriion with an
ease and grace all her own; she had been
a great deal abroad, mid possibly this
gave her manners bvilliancea.nl gaiety.
Half her girlhood had been spent with
relations in St. Petersburg, and she
spoke Russian as if she were herself a
Slav. From that gay city perhaps she
had brought her love of social life, and ] with a man she had never seen.

She was now prepared o wait for what
time might bring forth.
Meantime Mrs. Valery had put on her
bonnet and driven down to the same
place in her little brougham A very
short lime after Lady Lynx had settled
herself in the coffee room Mrs. Valery
walked into the hotel, and inquired
whether a Count of an unpronounceable
name had arrived. After considerable
consolation and much mental effort the
waiter informed her that a foreign gen-tleman,
whose name was like a sneeze,
certainly had came to the hotel, taken a
loom, and gone to it. Cut he hail not
said that he expected a lady to see him,
for the very good reason that lie could
speak no language but his own, which no
one in the hotel understood.
“<>, nonsense! bespeaks French,”said
Mrs. Valery, with a laugh. “However,
lie expects me to Interpret for him. 1
will write him a line on this curd, if you
will take it up to him. 1 will wait in the
coffee room, and when he comes down
show him in there.”
Mrs. Valery wrote a line in Russian
beneath her name, and then gave the
card to tl,e waiter. It was sent upstairs
a.nl she was shown into the coffee-room.
She went In ami sat still a few moments;
then began to walk to and fro rather

O i a ce .aiii afte toon, when the sea-son
wns at its height, Lady Lynx came
into Mrs. Valery’s drawing-room.
“Sir George is coming home to-day,”
she said.
Mrs. Valery looked up with nil air of
interest.
She gla 'ceil round the room. She could
just sec the top of a black bonnet over a
distant arm eha'.r; a lady was there,
reading a paper. She fell glad there was
no one to observe a pretty woman wait-ing
in a public coffee room for some one
who did not come.
At last the door opened, and a gentle-man
entered quickly. Mrs. Valery saw
in a single swift glance that he wns ex-j
tremely handsome, tall and distinguished
looking, and that he had that air which
j one is compelled todescrlbe as “foreign,”

“I don’t know at what ti ne,” said
Lady Lynx, “or I would go and meet

from my window for the wandering

“Will lie come to Charing Cross?”
asked Mrs. Valery.
“Yes.” said Lady Lynx. “Why ?”
“O, notb'"g,” said Mrs. Vale y care-lessly;
“only that I have to go and meet
a friend ihere this afternoon, I must start
soon,” she added, looking at her watch.
“You have to meet a friend there ?”
said Lady Lynx.
her courage and her pretty manners,
and, with an extreme nervousness which
no one but herself could perceive, ad-vanced
eagerly to meet him. She held
out her band, and began to inlk rapidly
in Russian. He did not answer her;
hilt then she gave him no time to, for
her nervousness made her talk rather
more than she intended. He held her
hand in his and gazed admiringly into
her face, which, with its slight flash of
embarrassment, was even lovelier Ilian
usual. This went on for two or three
j minutes; then Mrs. Valery tried to draw
“Why didn’t you say what time you
were arriving? What did you mean to
do before you came home?”
“Not meet her, I assure you. Who
is she?”
“Frank Valery’s wife.
“Then take me over, and introduce
me to her and apologize. And another
time don’t choose a lady to insult when
you are jealous.”
Lady Lynx stood irresolute. She
knew Sir George was in the right, and
she felt he was speaking the tm h. Ai.d
as she looked at Mrs. Valery and the
Russian as they stood talking together,
she saw that she had made a mistake
amateur detectives are apt to fall into.
She had too readily concluded that Mrs.
Valery was telling her a made-up story.
She saw that there was nothing to he
done hut apologize. But she could not
bring herself to do it.
At that moment Mrs. Valery turned
round, and meeting Lady Lynx's look
of mingled emotions, she smiled. Her
sense of humor had come uppermost.
After all she could afford to forgive Lady
Lynx; her enmity was so very plain,
Lady Lynx summoned all her knowl-edge
of tlie world to support her, went
to Mrs. Valery and made a humble and
hearty apology. Mrs. Valery’s eyes
sparkled with demure amusement.
“You must both come and dine with
us,” she said by way of answer. “Frank
will he delighted to see Sir George; I
know they are old friends. You must—
the Count is coining.”
SlrGeorgo made lmste to accept this
invitation. After dinner Mrs. Valery
told the story of the scene in the coffee-room,
making hut one change in it—she
left out Lady Lynx’s unfortunate speech.
Everybody laughed, even Lady Lynx
herself.
And so Mrs. Valery disarmed a bitter
enemy, and made a new ally. For Sir
George became one of he- faithful ad-mirers,
and Lady Lynx had to put up
with it, whether she liked it or not.—

“Yes,” said Mrs. Valery; then with a her hand away, and looked about her for
laugh, “or rathe", I should say a stran-ger.
It seems absurd, hut I have to meet
n gentleman whom I have never seen.”
“It docs seem absurd, indeed,” said
Lady Lynx, echoing the laugh mechan-ically.
Her thoughts went ranging
a chair. But her new friend held her
1m id fast, which discomposed her a great
deal, yet it did not sta tic her so much
as the sight which greeted her eyes as
she looked arouiul. Lady Lynx had ad-vanced

indifferently. “You know I have a

generally speak French. So I must go,
and at least se.id him io a hotel where
lie will he understood.”
“Whata queer thing to ask you to do!”
sa'd Lady Lyn looking at Mrs. Valery
with an expression which said as plainly
as possible, “I>o you think I’m an abso-lute
fool? And are you really going to
meet him in the s.jiion and shake hands
with all the men in the rain on chance ?”
she asked.
“No. not quiie that,” said Mrs. Valery
with another laugh. ‘He will go to the
Charing Cross bo.el tor to-f'ght.. I will

me.”
“It is, indeed !>’ said Lady Lynx,
dryly,
“I really must run away!” said Mrs.
Valery, again consulting her watch;
“I’m very sorry to seem rude.”
“Oh ! not at all,” said I.ady Lynx, ris-ing
to go. Her mliul was working bus’ly.

She walked up to the top of Wilton
Place, took a hansom, and told the man
to drive to the Charing Cross Hotel. Ar-rived
there, she entered and said she ex-pected
a gentleman to meet her in a few
moments, adding that she would like io

high with excitement ns she went in.

So much the better, thought Lady Lynx
She went to an armchair in an obscure

pod Mrs. Valery’s hand.
“Now,” sa'd I,mly Lynx, before any
one else had time to speak—“now, Mrs.
Valery, I know you for what you aro!”
This speech produced a different effect
f-on' whs’ she Intended. Certainly, it
startled Mrs. Valery as much as she
hoped it would; hut before that lady
had time 'o speeU .ne handsome gentle-man
said, in an easy manner, and with
a niorrv twinkle in his eye:
“Then my dear Kate, 1 wish you’d
tell me. 1 took her for an amiable and
very pretty lunatic. Was I right? Per-haps
you can tell me also if she speaks
any language hut IH.ndostanee, or what-ever
the unknown tongue is that, she’s
been talking.”
“That frivolous tone is useless now.
Sir George,” said Lady Lynx, with iron
dig’ily; "it has been tried too often.
Perhaps you will kindly tell the waiter
to call me a cab.”
“Ce-.-tainl v, my dear,” said Sir George,
with an exaggerated good humor. At
dint moment the waiter came in, car-rying
a salver o.i which waB a goblet of
bznndy-aud-soda.
“That's r'ght,” said Sir George; “per-haps
this will clear my brain, for I’m
beginning to think I’m dreaming.
Winter, call a cab for this lady.”
“Walter,” cried Mrs. Valery, “where
is the Russian gentleman you took my
card to?”
“lie is here, madam,” §qiil the waiter,
as at that moment, the dour opouod, ami
a swarthy, yellow-skinned mail, evi-dently
with Jewish blood in his veins,
entered the room. He looked inquir-ingly
at the two ladies. Mrs. Valery
roused herself; she advanced toward
him, and without holding out her hand,
asked him in Russian if he was Count
So-and-so. He said “Yes,” and Mrs.
Valery moved away a few paces to speak
to him more at her ease. But she found
it more difficult to re-enact the warm
welcome which had beeu wrongly given.
She was shaken and ui-nerveil, too, by
Lady Lynx’ face and words.
“What does this mean?” asked Sir
George, in a low voice, of his wife,
“How can I tel!?” she asked; ‘ You
know bet.er than 1 do. This is some
further development of the fa ce, I sup-pose.
I am going home; you need not
trouble yourself to accompany me.”
A: d she turned away, out he caught
her a m.
“Look here, Ka.c,” lie said, “this
must bn explained. What are you talk-ing
about? You seem to know that lady,
but I don’t.’
“Nonsense!” cried Lady Lynx.
“t never set eyes on her before. You
don’t mean to say you imagine we met
here on purpose!”
“Wliat else can I imagine?”
“What grounds have you for imagin-ing

The Philadelphia Times, 1884.
The times will enterupontlie new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever
before in its history—more widely read
and quoted, more heartily commended,
and more fiercely criticised, with a more
complete organization, and an abler staff
of contributors—and ivitli tlie .same in
dependence and fearlessness that has
made it successful and powerful in the
past.
The Times has no party to follow, no
candidates to advance, blit will meet
every issue, ns it has ever done, with
consistent devotion to tho right, to hon-est
government, and tho public welfare.
And, while maintaining its position as
the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in theadvance
in all that can add value io a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not ill its
size or display, but in the Intelligence
and care, the conciseness and freshness
with which it is edited. The Times
spends lavishly for news from all pai ls
of the world, but all iia dispatches are
carefully edited and condensed, in order
to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape,
and wiili it a large variety of entertain-ing
and instrnctive reading. The best
writers at home and abroad are employ-ed
to enrich its columns, and to niako it
a journal adapted both lo the busy man
and to the leisure of the home, circle, a
welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious, and
social taste.
Tlie Weekly Times is altogether differ-ent
from the weekly newspapers of
. wenly years ago. The day of those pa-pers
is gone by. The telegraph and
be' ter local newspapers everywhere, es-pecially
in tlie thriving centres of rural
populalion, have mado the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying.
Those that cling to their ancient usages
have lost thei r hold on our forward -mov-ing
people; they are but shadowsof their
former greatness, and they have but a
shadow of their foriper power, Those
papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone | and, with it, they are going, too.
It was not the mult of the papers; it was
the improvement of the country that
brought about the change. Men and
women, wherever they live, now require
fresher news; and they require more
than news.
Tlie Weekly Times gathers off the types
of every passing week whatever has
lasting interest to people at large, and
sets it before them in such generosity of
paper and print as would ha\’e astonish-ed
us all twenty years ago.
DAILY—Twelve cents a week, fifty
cents a month. SO a your, two cents
copy.
.SUNDAY—Four cents a copy, $2 ayear.
WEEKLY—One oopy, $2 a year, five

Ilow Watch Cases are Made.
It is a fact not generally known that th«
James Jtoss’ Gold Watch Cases really con-tain
more pure gold than many “solid”
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases lias led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases—
low in quality, and deficient in quantity*
These cases are made from 4§ to 10 karats,
atul a 5 or G karat case is often sold for 12
or 14*karats. It is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It IS economy to buy a James Bout Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an experi-ment—
it lias been made nearly thirty years.

TWO NEW FEATURES!
Goods, Better Bargains Than Ever
the Philadelphia One Price Clothing
House, Greensburg Pa.
Many will wonder how it is possible to sell such (ino clothing, the nobbiest
lints for young men, the be-1 hats for the farmers made in the world for less than
our former prices. Well,it is easier Hum rolling off' a log. We have stacks fif hats
that reach from tlie floor to our 17-foot ceiling in nnr immense establishment.
The tops of our shelves aro crowded with hats. Our lints this season have all
been bought by the case and in job lots direct from tho factory. Our wholesale
rates on these goods are much lower than Philadelphia or Neiv York, The store-keepers
who have purchased their hats, etc., from us before will be surprised tn
know that our prices this fall are much lower than any previous season. It will
pay each and every one of you in this county to take a look at our stock calcu-lated
for wholesale purposes before purchasing, for tlie following reasons, viz: 1st.
We have tlie best slock for this market. 2nd. We will sell you goods cheaper than
you can liny them in the eastern market. 3d. We will protect you in prices,
whoever handles our line we will give them our retail prices, and will give them a
guarantee Hint they’can retail all goods purchased from us at our retail rates with
a handsome profit, and sell from 5 to 10 per cent cheaper than other storekeepers
who are envious of us, and don’t handle our goods. Our principal branch this sea-son
surpasses anything ever seen before in Westmoreland county. Men’s and
young men’s suits, overcoats, etc. We have tlie prettiest that was ever exhibited
in any city or town. Our $20.00 suits, ns well as our 320.00 overcoats, nre not only
equal to any merchant tailor's fit, make ami style, but they compare with any at d
every suit and overcoat sold in large eiti clothing houses for $25.00, even tip to tlie
enormous sum of $35.00. In boys, school and children our fine lilies are equally
matched with onr men's and young men's. Our medium-priced goods are superior
to other houses’ best goods which they sell at first prices and 20 per cent, higher
than our medium price. Our lowest priced goods are within tlie reach of the poor
man, woman and child, however not tlie lowest class of goods made, such goods as
trash goods (which is the proper name for them) we do not handle. We carry
only such goods as we can recommend to give satisfaction, and to be good goods
for the money, because any article is good enough for tlie money providing the
article is sold low enough ; that is not the point we want to reach. Our striking
point is to sell good goods only, and no trash which is not worth having, though
being cheap enough at the price sold, if there is any man, woman or child which
lias not experienced that there are goods made not, worth anything, we would like
them to call on us and wo will convince them that while all goods cost some-thing
for material, weaving, making, etc., in reality they are not worth carrying
home, yet some storekeepers, who either want to deceive you or do not under-stand
their own business, advertise goods that have no value. The public is now
convinced that we carry the' best and largest stock of goods in this county for
wholesale purposes, as well as tlie retail trade. We will now mention some of our
prices to convince the poor man that lie is not forgotten by us. All wool Shirts
and Drawers, 90c., sold every where at$1.25. Good underwear in white and colored,
15c, sold every place at 25c. All other underwear, of which we have the largest and
most complete stock, in proportion. Knit Jackets from 65c up; 20 per cent lower
than any other house. Working and knock-about pants by tlie thousands. We
have one make of Jean pants wlticli are guaranteed not to rip; in case they do
rip we will take them back, no matter how long they have been worn. Our $2.50
overcoat is certainly a good one. Our $5.00 overcoat, in about ten different styles
and colors, will please everyone, because no gentleman would be ashamed to wear
it. It will suit a customer in preference to many an overcoat sold by other houses
for double the amount of money. In our hat department we nre doing wonders
which our competitors can’t make out, that we sell (lie host Matteaivan hat for
men and boys for 65c which they can’t buy for less than 75c themselves. Our $1.50
is so handsome and cheap that in a joke our customers tell us we must, steal those
goods. Our competitors break their heads how we get those immense selling
goods at such figures. They should not blame us for cutting prices; we are not
guilty of it; we are making a handsome profit on those goods. We can only
blame them for old fogyistn and sleepy heads. The young men are proud of the
nobby hats, mey buy from us prettier goods, later styles for less money than Pitts-burg
can furnish them. We always have new goods sent from tlie manufactories
as soon as they come out. Tun JOURNAL can't spare us spare in order
to mention all the bargains and specialties.
