He lives in Nelson county, Iowa, and for some time to come he will remain within doors. He laid his life and fortune and folly at the feet of a sensible, girl who declined the gift He bunted up a pistol and called on the woman who scorned him. He found her in the kitchen doing the family ironing. In the sup pressed but decided voice with which those things are always said he told her that her time had come. 'Oh, I guess not, she remarked, as she knocked him down with a flat iron spoiling the sjrmmetry of his nose and the beauty of his month. Then she poured hot water over him, and when the family came in she was kicking him over a white-oak floor like a foot ball. The affair shaped up differently from what he expected. ' He hoped to make.a sensation m which he would appear tragically, instead of which he cut the sorriest possible figure. A few more young women with an equa amount of nerve would soon diminish the number of youths who shoot somebody every time they are reject ed. Toe principles for which Lincoln and Garfield fought are in a flourish

ing condition in Iowa.

The campaign biographies of Mr. Garfield told how when a boy he was posse'd by a great longing to become a sailor, and how he used to gaze out upon Lake Erie. He looked out upon the Atlantic from his cottage at Elbeon,acd was represented as taking

keen delight in the ships thatrirSi by "His knowledge of nautical affairs'S rather extensive, and he took a par-1 donable pride in displaying it to his attendants. Oen. bwaim has several times attempted in a joking way to puzzle him about passing vessels as to their character, course, etc, but he invariably found the President better informed on such matters than himself. He seemed to take particular delight in watching the fishing smacks thai within his points of observation, and commentiug their movements. His knowledge of the points of the compass was perfect,and he never made a mistake in telling the direction taken by the vessel in sight." The Bedford Magnet publishes the following article, of interest to the people of tbis countj : "John Judah, a farmer seventy-two years old, who lives two miles west of Guthrie, has been digging on his farm for minerals, all summer. He has dug a hole eighteen feet deep, and declares that he has discovered a good quality of kaolife, and also of silver and lead. There has always been chronic gold and silver fever in the i Salt Creek regions of Lawrence, Monfoe and Brown counties, and even up i into Morgan. There U a well-known legend about a boy who was capture! by the Indians up White river, and brought do wn in a canoe to the month j of a small stream, which he always declared wa Spider Creek. He .wa j then blindfolded and taken up into the country three or four miles, as well as he conld judge, when the In dians balled and uncovered his eyes; they then opened a hole or small cave iu the ground' and took out quantities of what looked like silver ore. That is the story the captive, who once lived in Bedford, used to tell J in his old age. Many have searched j for this mine in years past, but without success Prof, Cox, State Geologist, once found a stone in the road between here and Fayetteville which contained considerable silver. Up towardGuthrie there are narrow seams of some bright ore. which yields a but ton ot metal like silver, when melted. It is a well-known fact that thare are small quantities ol gold on Bean Blossom Creek. The Knob Creek region is said, by old Forth' Carolina gold miners, to resemble the gold regions of that State. There has been a jrold craze up in Brown about every vear ever since the country was settled. A lew years ago a party of civilized lntians appeared 1n Morgan county. and camped there a while. It was said that they spent their time there n digging around some ot the hi&h White river bluffs. Suddenly they disappeared, and no more was heard of them. The sons of Morgan 1hink hey were after the precious metals. Nothing is dearer to the heart of the average Salt Creeker than these trad itions. Some of them pretend to be regular magicians in the way of discovering minerals. One thing is ceram, and that is that there are small quantities of valuable metals on Salt Creek and. tributaries. It is very doubtful whether they will ever be discovered in paying quantities, though. The Hawkeyc man has been in a powero' trouble" over a linen duster. iie says, "i nnmaiy caiiea ior ny linen duster ever since my uncle died in California and left me $300,000 9 always wear a linen duster when 1 travel; I feel as though I could afford it; and society rather demands it of me, and climbed into the train and waited for it to start. By and by I reached into the spacious pockets of that duster, and in an idle, vagrant kind of a moment, drew forth a Police Gazette, radiant with the usual as tonishing display of all kinds of stockings in all manner of attitudes save proper ones, with female figures attached to them. Now I never buy or read that journal and I was amazed to find it in my pocket. 1 went down again and brought up a couple of beer tickets. . Then I raked again and brought up a piece of billiard cnaiK, several grams oi conee ana a bit of lemon peel. It seemed to me that my ordinary well-behaved and exemplary duster had evidently been out with the boys last night, instead of reposing in the quiet ttie coat.

I was almost afraid to cxamaminethe last pocket, but finally sent down !he grapple and up it came with a whiskey flask, very empty but very odorous. I began to wish the train would start so that I might watch my opportunity, and throw that duster with all it manifold iniquities on its head into the river. I steadily felt under the bottlo and found a pair of brass knuckles. That settled it. My duster was irrevocably bad. I would wear it as far as the first river or the first tunnel, and I would never wear it farther. Would the train ever start? Just then a gentle hand touched ni' shoulder. I started guiltily and looked up to see a policeman. If I had been arrested on any charge, thieft, burglary, murder, sheep stealing, treason, anything, I should have given in and gone right along. I hadn't enough confidence in myself to deny anything. But when I looked up I saw a kind tender face. and I heard the pleasant voice of a Methodist clergyman. beg your pardon," he said, "but I fear you and have exchanged dusters, I only not iced the change this moment, when I found some letters and lecture ticket b'-aring your name in the pockets. The mistake is my own,. . I have no botibt, 1 am so very careless, and our dusters are so nearly alike." I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say nor where to look, but I had just enough sense left to say yes, that it was my duster that he had in his hands. That I couldn't find my own in the coat room, and took the only one that was left. And when I gave the good innocent man the vilhanousxtjcl sin dv'ed Philestiue that had been cflrrupthsmy morals all' morning. And then to sit there and never look around and just listen to that man's amazement and horror. First he found the billiard chalk. He didn't know what was, "H'ml" When he found the coffee grains but he didn't quite understand them, and he just said "Ha!'' Then he fished out the corkscrew and he seemed to comprehend that in a general waj' for he said "What?" in a staccato rf aston:shmet that elicited an encore from the entire audience. The poor man's 'merciful heavens!" that greeted the appearance of the whiskey flask was drownded in a perfect torrent of applacse and wild cries of "Go on, go on," and "More." And then when he pulled ou the police Gazette and and brass knuckles he fell into the seat with an audible gasp of horror, and the whole car full of people, just rose as one man and howled and tramped on their hats and wanted to get out and tear the bottom out of the -ar and throw it into the river to express their feelings. I never saw so great enthusiasm over such a lit tle thing. And the fainting clergy man came to me, holding the disrep utable character destroying old gal lows bird of a duster in his trembling hands. "Sir," he said, with a patient rebuke and pitiful appeal mingled in his tremulous utterance?, "Sir " But I steeled my heart against him, because I was as innocent ae himself, and it was the pulpit and the ros trum for it. "Go way," I said, "don't bring it around here! Don't you point that thing at me! 'Taint mine! You claimed it yourself! Dont dare to charge me with it! Throw it under the car! Burn it up! 1 won't have it! Don't you dare " Bur the elegyman held it out toward mc and raise his right hand appealingly to heaven .lust before the tabloau began to tell

with the jury, however, the porter came panting down to the train. He had an innocent looking duster in his hands, with a package of Sunday school papers bulging in one pocket, andta Moody hymn book tlattened in the other. "Gent'men," he said, "de barkeeper sent me down, and says as how somebody has don run away wid his duster, and he want it sent back or he make it pow'ful lively for de man what took i.., if he have to come after ithisself." That settled it. The clergyman took his own ulster find gave up the robe of unrighteousness to the embassador. The man on the wood-box made a generally consolatory remark about the false and fatal strength of circumstancial evidence. The band played "Bennie come back
