THE* PRIZE KING’S PALMY DAYS. The Immense Crowds and Preparations that Signalized a Fight in the Olden Times. Bell’s Life, The moment the actual place of rendezvous was fixed, the commissary of the ring, Tom Oliver, and Dick Curtis, Tom Calas, Frostyfaced Fogo, and able assistants proceeded to make their arrangements; and on the summit of a high hill, on a fine plain called Bishop’s Wood, formed the ring, and certainly nothing could have been more admirably arranged. The stakes were formed from fir poles, at least eight inches in diameter deeply inserted in the earth and of the usual height, exhibiting an ap pearance of strength and firmness which hade defiance to all encroachment Beyond these a wider ring was formed of similar stakes, with ropes attached, so as to keep the spectators at a distance, leaving an immense area between: and beyond these, again, were placed a double and in many instances a triple succession of wagons and elevated stages formed substantially of timber. These preparations arose from a well-founded anticipation that an immense multitude would be assembled, and certainly a greater crowd we never witnessed on any similar affair, with the exception of that at Worcester, when Spring and Langan fought: but even this was thought to have been outnumbered. The important morning at length arrived, and with the dawn of day a simultaneous move com menced from every part, of the compass. There was no description of vehicle which was not called in requisition; the stage coaches, barouches, postchaises, gigs, flies, buggies, carts, cars and wagons jostled each other, and all crowded to an overflow. Then came equestrians without end—including all orders —from the high mettled hunter to the humblest hack, many bearing two and in some instances three riders. The pedestrians, as may be supposed, were still more numerous, and all the operatives, who usually devote Eastertide to “fun and frolic,” were on the toddle. Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton. Dudley, West Brom wich, Wednesbury, Dalston, Bridgnorth, and all the surrounding wide spreading and populous districts sent forth their swarms. The pits, the iron foundries, and the manufactories of all descriptions were deserted, and a more extraordinary diversity of human character has seldom met the eye—the fair sex adding to the general singularity of the coup d’oeil. The spot chosen for the ring, we have already stated, was considerable elevated above the surrounding country, and while the approaching multitude could thus command a squint at the wished-for goal they were approaching, those aiready arrived had a fine panoramic view of the gathering throng. The wagons and stages soon found occupants at 5s a noo, while the humbler classes scrambled within the outer circle, taking up their positions under the direction of proper masters of the ceremonies, armed with whips and sticks. As 12 o’clock approached the mass became more dense, and at last they were concentrated. twelve and fourteen deep, completely back to the wagons. It required the utmost exertion to keep them within the prescribed bounds, as those behind could not obtain even a glimpse of the ropes and stakes. At 10 o’clock. Brown, attended by Spring, Black Richmond and his immediate friends, quitted their quarters at Compton in an open landau, drawn by four spirited horses. Brown’s own property, with “The Bottle in Hand” emblazoned on the panels of the carriage, each man wearing the favorite fogle of his hero. They were surrounded by a body guard of Brown's friends on horseback and followed by a long line of carriages. At 11 they reached the Bradford Arms, at Ivetsey Bank/where Sampson stopped. Shortly before 1 o’clock the order for a move to the arena of battle was given, and Sampson set out in a coach and six, surrounded by his patrons —Brown occupying a swell drag, in high spirits. Brown first entered the' ring. He was received by a deafening shout of welcome. His colors were displayed in every direction, and, on throwing his castor within the ropes, he followed and bowed respectfully in all directions. He was dressed in a blue coat, breeches, and top boots. Sampson immediately prepared for action, and his example was followed by Brown, whose general “turn out” was of a superior character, his second, Tom Spring, wearing a white jacket and white silk stockings, and Richmond being also attired in flash togs. At the moment it was calculated that there could not be less than 50,000 persons present, of all ranks, and the scene which was presented was the most extraordinary we ever witnessed. Every elevated spot, whether wagon, stage, or carriage, was literally swarming; but such was the firmness with which every erection was constructed that wo did not hear of a single accident. Crowds continued to arrive for a considerable time afterward, and many who had taken the wrong road, by going to Stourbridge, were altogether thrown out All being in readiness, the men threw off their last remaining garments and approached the scratch. A pin might have been heard drop at the moment The condition of both men was excellent, but the disparity in size was obvious to all. Brown stood well over his man, and his gigantic size, added to his apparent confidence, kept him the favorite at 2 to 1, which was laid aud taken at the moment, the best judges and the most knowing of the fancy laying the odds. The symmetry of Sampson’s frame was beautiful, while a fixed determination to do his best was plainly written in every line of his countenance, and the result showed his confidence was not mispiaced. DECLINE OF THE DUELLO. A Curious Creolo Affair of Honor in the Oiden Days in New Orleans. Kew Orleans Letter to Nashville American. Not far from the grounds where tho magnificent buildings of the World's Exposition glorify the landscape with their assurances of peace and progress is a beautiful grove of half a dozen liveoaks. whose green-gray plumes of long fantastic moss possess a strange funereal suggestiveness. Their story holds that in early years of this fair State six gay young creole gentlemen were strolling together to the plantation of a mutual friend. It was a heavenly right. The moonbeams were weaving their softening spell over a scene by nature soft and languid to voluptuousness. In a breeze, fragrant with kissed from the blossoms of an orange grove not far, the six oaks gently shook their mossy pendants aud made fantastic shadow’s on the velvet sward. “What a place for sword play?” exclaimed one of the party. “I echo your sentiments,” replied another lightly. “Then, let us try it,” said the first “A capital idea,” answered the other, and lie drew his jewelled rapier. In a moraont they were at it and the weapons were weaving iu and out with a gaily glittering rapidity that made a mockery of the gentle moonbeams. “What a pity for us to stand idly by!” observed another of the party. “Let us pair off, then,” said number four, and they all drew simultaneously. It must have been a pretty sight —those three pairs of graceful and gallant fellows at parry and thrust hard-bv those grand old oaks that live to-day. But the play waxed warm; presently the eyes of the combatants outflashed . their swords, and when the sun came up over the rim of the level, lovely Louisiana plains with the same semblance of suddenness that ono notes in his rise on tho ocean, he looked on the six oaks not as usual, but on six ghastly, upturned faces, for which those oaks now stand monumental. One man lingered a few hours over day to tell the gtory of the night, and now as the str anger •teams up the muddy and moody river the treole points to those oaks with expression and expressions compound of pity and pride. It is easy enough to infer that with the descendants of such men the duello, though dying, dies hard, especially in a clime where the blood burns a little faster than iu the North or in Europe. Yes, the poor old duello is dying. Public opinion has gathered head against it, and it must go. A case in point occurred the other flay. The city editor of a great paper took a holiday and appointed one of the repoitorial corps his pro tern. This promoted reporter requested another of tho corps to attend to a certain matter, which he refused, saying it wa3 the city editor's business, not his. * Words multiplied, a blow was struck, a scuffle ensued and they were parted. Next morning the temporary editor, grandson of a famous Napoleonic general, sent his brother reporter what is termed a peremptory challenge, i. 0., one that leaves no rooin for apology, instead of one that bears the provision of unless or if. The challenged reporter, son of a famous Southern senator, was clearly in the wrong from the start. H'.s friends felt so and would have made him apologize, but no chanco of that was given. With as much secrecy as possible the meeting took place under “The Oaks,”

as the old dueling ground of the city is called, and where many a famousduel has been fought. The seconds were measuring off the grounds when a letter, signed by some of the most prominent citizens and old soldiers of the town, was brought to them, praying a postponement for a day and submission of the matter to their arbitration. The seconds decided to grant’it and placed their principals under arbitrament. The result was that the committee ordered the Senator’s son to apologize, which ho did. The apology was accepted and friendship reigned again. So much for the progress of peace in Southern society! The long night of brilliant barbarism is passing away and tho day cometh in which all men may work. Eccentricities of genius. Some of Horace Greeley’s Peculiarities—A Strange Breakfast Party. Croffnt’s Letter in Kansas City Journal. I wonder if all overmastering minds are not conspicuously weak in some direction. It was a theory of tho late eminent scientist, Dr. George M. Beard, that there were no great men; that “if a man is great in one direction he is limited in another.” We know it was so with old Sam Johnson, with Milton, with Fontenelle, with Humboldt, with Franklin, and later with Sumner, Greely and Conklimr. I worked on the Tribune under Mr. Greeley, and. though I saw him every day, I never yet heard him say “good morning” or “good evening,” “how do you do” or “good-by,” or inquire after anybody’s health. But he scrupulously answered every letter that came to him, and answered it on tho spot, so that the writer generally got the reply in the next mail. His conscience was abnormally developed on this subject, and he probably wrote 20.000 letters that did not need writing, and died the sooner for it. On tho street ho seldom spoke to even his nearest friends unless he had business. I have known him to enter a street car down-town, sit by the side of a friend and ride a mile without speaking a word, then suddenly nudge him and say: “Let mo take your paper?” read the paper for another mile, look out for the friend’s house, hand the paper to him just before reaching it, and part company without speaking to him or looking at him. He did not believe in that expenditure of force which conversational civilities require. A gentleman who breakfasted with him in 1865 tells me about it Mr. Greeley was not living at home at the time; ho was what Mrs. Greo ley calmly called “boarding somewhere else,” This somewhere else happened to be the Westmoreland, on Union Square, only a couple of blocks from his house. “Prof. L. S. Packard and I were invited to breakfast with him at 9 o’clock. We reached the dining-room of the hotel before him, inquired for his table and sat down. Presently he came in, handed his overcoat and hat to a waiter, and without looking toward us ordered a breakfast for one—a pouched egg, some milk toast and a cup of tea. Reaching the table he looked a little surprised, but said: ‘Have you ordered your breakfast?’ We assured him that we had not, but wo ordered the same that be had done. ‘What paper have you?’ he inquired of Packard as he sat down. It was the Citizen, after Miles O’Reilly left it and while Roosevelt had it, ‘Anything iu it V lie asked. ‘Not much, except an article attacking you,’ said Packard. It was a column and a half long, but Greeley read it through. ‘Absurd!’ he said, ‘to take so much space for that. It isn’t good journalism. It all ought to have been in one-third of the space. That article ought never have been permitted to go below there,’ he said, indicating a place with nis finger. Ho did not allude to the substance of the attack at all, but denounced the slovenliness and extravagance of using so much space. We took a hastv sun of tea and departed.” Professor Packard’s school was oue of his hobbies. The last speech of his life, 1 be!ieve, was made before its students during the campaign of 1872. • Women In Convention. St. Louis roflt-Pispatch, One impression held by tho majority of men will have to be given up, in view of the practical demonstration to the country which wo have had. This is that women are incapable of conducting public conventions,and that they handle logic something as an infant handles a razor. The conception of a woman’s convention in the minds of most men is a bedlam of voices, all making a noise at once, with afi utter disregard for sound reason aud parliamentary rules. The theory of femiaine ideas of public meetings and logical reasoning so valuable to funny men and so dear to the masculine heart will have to be laid aside. Any oue attending the meetings of the W. C. T. U. must have been struek, not only w’ith the orderly and propor modes of procedure, but especially with the clearness, force and logical grasp of the subject displayed in the bates. In these respects the convention was far superior to the average assemblage of men; but it should be considered that this was not a gathering of average women, but of superior women, trained, as a rule, to public speaking. They have, undoubtedly, much to learn; but their success was certainly wonderful, and occasioned a great! deal of surprise and favorable comment. There was one very noticeable difference between this convention and the average political convention. When a lot of men get together to discuss important political questions, they always leave, after a batch of business has been transacted, to see a friend around the comer, but the ladies introduced an innovation, in shape of a prayer, to take the place of this time-hon-ored recreation. At the regulation times when men would take a drink the women prayed. The same bracing and strengthening effect was doubtless produced by both methods. —— Tlie Vanderbilt Residences. New York World. I doubt the yarn that was current on the street yesterday, that Cornelius Vanderbilt bad offered to sell his $2,000,000 house for $1,000,000, aud was going to the Fifth avenue Hotel to board for economy’s sake, and that W. K. had already gone to Paris to live. They probably all feel poor, though. It was a folly for Cornelius to put up that gorgeous mansion at Fifth avenue and Seventh street. The $30,000 house bis doting grandfather gave him, on Fourth avenue and Thirty-third street, was a very comfortable residence, indeed; but when he got hold of that $2,000,000 he went and bought the two new and spacious houses on Fifth avenue, giving Bigelow $175,000 for one aud $135,000 for the other. These had been begun only two years before, and one was not yet finished—but he leveled them to the ground, every brick, and built his own personal palace there. A prudent man wouldn’t have done it. And Mrs. William K. would think her dolls were stuffed with sawdust if she were compelled to quit tho residence where she and Lady Maudeville have given such magnificent entertainments —especially that gothic dining-room, which inspired her little girl to inquire, at the eud of the first week. “Ma, have we always got to eat in the church?” A Fox (steals a Baby. Japan Gazette. Considerable excitement has been caused lately at Katase by the doings of a fox. A young, well-to do farmer and his wife, who have a child two months old, are occupying a small wooden structure during the rebuilding of their former premises. On Sept. 13 tho wife, as usual, went to sleep with the little one, but waking during the night, was surprised to find it had left her side. She at once called her husband, when it was discovered that one of the frail wooden doors had been broken open. The supposition naturally followed that some ono had entered and stolen the infant, consequently tho father started with the intention of arousing the neighbors. Ho had, however, only just stepped outside when he perceived a large fox run from under the veranda es tho house opposite. Suspecting that reynard was the culprit, lights were procured and a search made, which, to the delight of tho parents, resulted iu the discovery of the baby, who, strange to say, had received no injury beyond a few scratches. Undressed Salad. Boston Conrler. At a fancy dress party a short time ago a young lady was dressed in a marvellous dress of green and red in which imaginative eyes were supposed to discover some more or less resemblance to lettuce and lobster. “What do you represent. Miss M?” a gentleman inquired, as they took their places in a set. “Don’t you see?” she returned, laughing; “I’m a salad.” “Oh!” was her partner’s retort, while he flashed a quick eye over the very liberal exnosure of her person, “but haven't you forgotten to put on the dressing?” The biggest thing out is what the druggists term Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup; its sale is enormous, and it has never beeu known to fail. Price, 25 cents.

A RUSH OF WATERS. The Tides of the Bay of Fundy—Causes of the Great Wave. Boston Herald. The tides of Fundy are. perhaps, familiar to almost everyone, and, though they are remarkable, like the maelstrom and other marvels, they are greatly exaggerated, writes a correspondent from Falmouth, N. S. To thoroughly understand the phenomenon the shape of Fundy Bay must be considered, and it will bo seen that the great daily tidal waves that sweep over tho Atlantic, caused by the attraction of the sun and moon, strike the New England coast and tend north ward, until the great body of water is squeezed into the narrow limits of the Bay of Fundy, just as we see a great wave from a steamer entering a brook from a lake. The effect is to immediately raise the water level, and so in Fundy the tidal wave rushes in and, suddenly compressed with the narrow bounds, immediately rises, and the water forms a wave and rushes rapidly onward, filling up the rivers and bays along its passage. A famous place to observe the phenomenon is in what is called the Minas basin, a branch of the bay of Fundy, that extends into the country of Evangeline, and cuts it up in a curious manner. Can this be the river? you ask. It must be, as here are bridges, two of them, but so woefully long and shaky on their pins and high above the streams that they appear like the very ghosts of bridges on stilts. From above the chasm appears shelved and cavernous in its aspect. The sides seem to grade off into terraces of red and gray mud, until finally the pan of bottom rock is reached, along which the pseudo river flows. Something is expected, as here are expensive dykes that are reared to keep the water from the farms in the back country; then again vessels lie at the docks of this inland town, high and dry, miles and miles from water deep enough to float them. Do we wait an hour or so, all this will be changed. We fifst notice the silvery thread of water stop in its course, then the water is seen to flow up stream, and if you turn your head for a few minutes you find upon again looking that the silvery thread has grown to a stream fifty feet wide. Twenty minutes later it is a raging flood, foaming, rushing and boiling, rising in waves that break against each other, ever pushing or. as if propelled by some mysterious force. In this sudden rush of the waters animals are often caught; pigs that have wandered out into the mud are overcome by the onward rollers, and fowl have been seen surrounded aud floated away on the waves, to be rescued, perhaps, far up the stream, thirty feet higher than tho spot where they were taken up. Flocks of birds frequently follow the tidal wave, or boro, as it is called, feeding upon the fish that are cast ashore and catching them as the tide goes out. Why the wave should be so high iu coming in is explained in different ways. One theory is that it is formed by a tidal current rushing againts the current of the river, and passing over obstructions of more than ordinary height that tend to push the water up. In the Hoogly river the wave rises to a height of twenty feet; in the Amazon thirty, and iii the Tsientage, China, about the same. The wave in Fundy, however, is not to be compared to these in any respect As to rapidity, the tide comes in about as fast as an orninary horse can trot, ana a man would have to exert all his speed to escape. The height to which the water actually rises differs in different places, and depends upon circumstances. Thus, if the sun and moon could pull together, so to speak, and a strong wind set in at the same time, an exceedingly high tide would be the result. It is claimed tlrat it lias risen sixty feet at Moncton; at Sackville a fifty foot fall and rise is common. These are remarkable figures, and the sight of vessels that,say, in the morning have been alongside the dock now forty feet below and no water in sight, is still more remarkable. Women Bull-Fighters Routed by a Bull. Galiguaui’s Messenger. A bull fight of a novel kind took place at Tarragona, on Sunday last (Oct. 12), the performers being women clothed in the male torera suit. The bulls were all young and full of fire. The first one let into the arena made straight for one of the toreras, and sent her spinning in the sand several yards off. A second torera rushed to the rescue with her capa, which she waved before the bull to draw off its attention from her discomfited colleague. The bull accepted the challenge at once, and with a rapid twist of the neck caught the lianderilJa and sent her flying. She fell on her face, and followed the previous torera in her retirement, bleeding from several scratches. The third torera then advanced; but no sooner had the bull caught sight of her than he bounded toward her and tossed her. After this the bull took a quiet walk around the arena, waiting for fresh sport. No further competitor entering the list, the crowd began to show signs of impatience, which grew at every moment, until they finally began breaking up the seats and throwing brickbats into the arena, yelling anathemas at the cowardice of the torera company. The stewards then announced that tho money would be returned. This was done partially, but the cashier’s office suddenly closed, that official having bolted with the rest of the takings. A scene ofindescribable uproar occurred when the fact became known, and the work of demolition was pursued with increased fury. The gendarmes were called in to restore order, but only succeeded in adding to the general eonfussion, in which they were roughly handled. The arrival of three companies of infantry enabled the managers to clear the amphitheater. The most extraordinary part of the affair i9 that, undeterred by the fate of the first company of toreras and their manager, who were marched off to prison besides, the workwomen of the tobacco factories of Madrid are preparing to give an exhibition of their prowess, aud a troupe is organizing to do the round of the arenas in all the principal towns of Spain. The Thin Man’s Sad Story* Pittsburg Chronicle. “Stories of reformation are numerous,” remarked the Thin Man Without a Shirt Collar, “but probably as pathetic, yes, I may say as saa a one as has ever been told came to my ears the other day.” “What was it?” asked tho Cold Tea Man. “A young man who had blighted the.lifeof a lovely, trusting wife, as well as his own, by his dissipation, and sunk to the lowest depths of degradation and poverty, found it impossible to shake off the fangs of tho demon drink. It was a freezing cold night, and his wife lay sick, shivering under the solitary blanket left to their wretchedness, when he staggered into the room, and, snatching the single covering from her emaciated person took it to a grog shop for rum. As he drank the fiery liquid something seemed to seize upon. He stood like one turned to stone for a few moments, and then, facing the bar-tender, pallid as a corpse, simply said: ‘I am done; that is the last!’ and walked out.” “Found his wife frozen to death, I suppose?” said the Cold Tea Man. “No, fortunately friends had discovered her in his absence, and snpplied warm bedding.” “But it reformed him, hey?” “No, he thought he was done, but the new bed-clothes kept him drunk a week.” “What's sad about that!” indignantly asked the Cold Tea Man. “Don't you call that sad?” said the Thiu Man. Why Sho Wanted the Fail. St. Louis Post-Dirtpatch Goasiper. I happened to be standing in a lerge notion store one morning not long ago when I saw the daughter of a man who had made a fortune in cattle, and who I suppose had never been inside of a school in his life. Opinion was much divided as to whether his daughter had been. She was gorgeously arrayed and carried herself as the first lady iu the land, while the obsequious clerk nearly knocked over an humbler customer in his endeavor to be attentive. The young lady had a peculiar whining tone which is common to the backwoods iu the South, and which her associations with luxury could not overcome. “I want to see yore fans,” sho said to the clerk. “Certainly; what kind?” was the courteous question. “Oh, I want one of those big red ones; I want to put somo art on one side. ” The Foresters. London Post. Mr. Samuel Shawcross has just completed the official statement showing the financial con-, dition of the Ancient Order of Foresters, the largest friendly organization in the world. The returns embrace 548,584 out of the 555,500 members in the United Kingdom. The total receipts during 1883 amounted to £019.740, of which £523,270 wua from member contributions, and

£87,144 was interest on invested capital. Tho total payments wore £477,299 —£38*2,507 for sick allowances, and £94,732 for funeral payments. The receipts exceeded the payments by £142,610, but tho surplus is about £8.758 less than in 1882. The average interest on invested capital is 3! percent. Tho funds at the commencement of this year showed a gross total of £3,074.013, of which £2.007,330 belonged to court, sick and funeral funds, and £293,563 19s. 3d. to district funeral funds. The average-sum per member is about £5 10s. 7d. The returns from foreign and colonial courts can not be completed for somo considerable time. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine and tho Soldier Boy. Garland ( Me.) Correspondence of Roetuii Journal. I have a pretty story to tell you of Mr. aud Mrs, James G. Blaine. We had a little cousin living with us for awhile, who in war times joined the Twentieth Maine Volunteers, although lie was not then seventeen years old. lie ran away for the purpose. Rendezvousing at Au gusta, Mo., awhile, he fell eick with measles, and not recovering rapidly Janies G. Blaine and wife took him from tho hospital to their own house, set up a bed iu the middle of their parlor, and nursed him like a child till his convalescence. They knew nothing of the boy or wherp lie came from at the time, except that lio was a poor young soldier. He attracted them, doubtless, as he was really a very pretty boy, and when sick was quiet and winning and fair as a girl. Kindness and pity moved these distin guished people to take upon themselves one who, at best, must have been a wearisome guest The boy at last confided his story to them, when Mr. Blaiuo wrote fully and kindly to ray parents, who sent for the boy as soon as he was able to return. Mr. Blaine sent him home with both presents aud good advice. Anecdote of Tennyson. New York Home Journal. “Lord Tennyson is not often here, is he?” said the inquisitive scribe of an old gentleman who took the tickets at the flower show, and who occasionally waits at Faringford House where the poet receives company. “No he doesn’t often come here in tho season. People follows him so.” “What sort of a looking person is liin lordship?” “Lordship! We don’t often call him a lord about here. Wasn’t Tirade one mor’n three or four months ago. We call’m Mister Tennyson. A nice old gent he is, only *e ain’t no better clothed than a scarecrow. Wears an old soft felt hat dragged down to his nose (which is a long ’un), and has a long moustarsh aud beard, with an old coat as is green with age. ” “Is he liked in the neighborhood?” “Yes; he’s a kind old gent, and we all likes him hereabouts.* “I supjiose you are rather proud of having a great poet iu the locality?” Tho. old man seemed to think the honor not such a tremendous one. as it might be. A Danbury Dog. Danbury News: James Hogan, of this town, is the owner of a Mexican terrier. The peeuliarty of this breed of dogs is their bodies aro not covered with hair, but are smooth and much the color of a rat. Winnie, for such is her name, possesses tho most beautiful eyes iminaginable, being a peoliar shade of green. She is prepared to swim, for. duck-like, she is web-footed. But tho strangest part of this animal is her appetite and love for fruit. She will eat watermelon, tomatoes, apples, pears, oranges, dates, etc., and seems to relish them all equally well, with, perhaps, a preierence for watermelons. Although constantly in the fruit store of her master, she will not touch anything until given to her out of her master’s baud, Winnie is, of course, a great pet, and valued at SIOO. Change of Color of the Hair. London Lancet. A young girl has just died in the asylum at Hamburg, who possessed the peculiar gift of changing her hair according to the state of her mind. In “periods of sedateoesa” her hair was of its natural dull eoior; when she was excited it became reddish, aud her anger was indicated by a blonde color. Three days were generally required for the change to lie completed, and her complexion also varied in the same periods and in the same direction. He Gets His Pension* Paw Paw Northerner.

Y., Nov. 4.—Fifty years ago the Jupp family, famous Hudson valley butter-makers of that day, occupied the farm now belonging to Charles McChesney, near this station. Mrs. Jupp’s butter was always packed in peculiarly shaped oarthern crocks, and commanded a high price in the Albany and other markets. Before sending a crock of butter to market it was her custom to lower it into a well on the premises which was noted for its very cold water. Mrs. Jupp would leave tho butter hanging in the water for several hours, and when taken out it would be as hard and cold as ice. Ono day iu 1834 sho was lowering a crock of butter into the well when the rope broke, and the crock fell to the bottom. No effort was ever made to recover it, For the first time in its history this well became almost dry during the recent long drought in this vicinity. A few days ago Farmer McChesney was cleaning the well out, when he found the crock Mi’s. Jupp had lost fifty years ago. In taking the crock from the well McChesney accidentally broke it. It was about one-quarter full of butter, which was as solid and sweet as it was the day it was put down half a century ago. The crock aud its contents are on exhibition at tho McChesney farm, and hundreds have called to see them. Murdered In a Saloon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Windfall, Ind., Nov. 4.—Samuel Daugherty, of Sharpsville, six miles west of this place, killed a young man by the name of Richards, last night, ir\ a saloon fight. Daugherty first struck Richards on the head a deadly blow with a billiard cue; he then shot him with a revolver. Dangherty escaped, aud had not been captured at last reports Cleveland Calm but Resigned. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 4.—Governor Cleveland received returns by messenger at the executive mansion, surrounded by a few friends. As the good news came in, the gentlemen present congratulated the Governorand the ladies applauded. All present, excepting the Governor, displayed in their manner the intense gratification which the prospect of victory afforded them. Tho Governor. however, preserved a calm demeanor, aud merely smiled at their enthusiasm. Fatal Railway Collision. Alexandria. Va., Nov. 4.—A wav freight on the Virginia Midland railway collided with an east-bound passenger train, at Accotink bridge, this morning, smashing three freight cars and the baggage car of the passenger train. Charles Powell, a brakeman, was killed; Judge Gaines Langs ter, of Fairfax, and Frank Carlin, express messenger, were slightly injured; Malcolm Brown, the engineer on the passenger train, aud two section men were also injured. Two Mon Killed. Chicago, Nov. 4.—Two men were killed at the polls here to day, one by a United States deputy marshal—a notorious character known as “Black Jack” Yaltaw. Mrs. A. R. Fenton, Pittsford, Vermont, after suffering for years with rheumatism, was entirely cured by usiug Athlophoros.

Wolseloy telegraphs that the reports brought by natives indicate Gou. Gordon is still in possession of Khartoum. Instead of using cord in tying grapevines to the stakes or trellises, rye straw has been found cheaper and better. If the rye was cut before it whs quite ripe, the straw will bo tougher and stronger. It does not cut the bark, hko small and hard cord, or like tho more objectionab'.o copper wire. Rye straw is also the host material to secure young trees to the stakes employed to stiffen them in position. Aside from their excellence, there is economy in buying Dr. Price’s Special Flavoring Extracts, as the bottles hold one-half more than others purporting to hold the same quantity. They are the most natural flavors made, and in strength, quality and quantity there are no other flavoring extracts that can compare with Dr. Price’s. A gray linen splasher, with figure worked in scarlet in outline embroidery, is serviceable as well asornamentnlin the dining-room ba<*k of the small table frequently used there to hold the ise-pitcher and goblets. Few like gray hairs, except on other persons. If your hair is turning grav. restore it to the hue of youth by using Ayers Hair Vigor. A bit of economy is to save the Jieelof oranges; dry it and grate it for flavoring mince pies and orange cakes, and custard also. If it is dried perfectly, and is kept in a dry closet, there is no danger of its becoming musty. Tiif. combination, proportion, and process in preparing Hood’s Sarsaparilla, are pecuiar to this medicine, and unknown to others. NCMPOISQN IN THE PASTRY w EXTRACTS ABE TTSB3D.
