An Az 10 Grind.

Ever since DR.. Franklin's time, it has
been common for patriotic Americans to
attribute all wise agothegems that could
not be traced directly to the book of Pro.
verbs, or some other part of the Bible, to
the author of Poor Richards Almanac.
In this way the we'll known story of the
man who had the axe to grind, as well as
many others Of similar character, have
gone to his credit This story, however,
was written by Charles Miner, author of
the History of Wyoming. 1: first ap-
peared in the Berks County "Intenigercer'
(Doylestown, Pa, under the non de
plume of "Poor Robert the Scribe" Mr.
Miner WAS at that time, we believe, the
editor of the "Intelligencer."
Those articles were afterwards pub
lished in small volume, and were printed
at "Miner's Press, Doylestown." The
book was entitled, Essays from the Desk
of Poor Robert the Scribe." The first
piece was headed, "Who'll turn Grind
stone?" and from this the phrase can Axe
to Grind" has obtained more than land
wide circulation.

THE CASE OF Mrs. Cora L. v. HArcn.
1t is currently reported in the circle of
SPiritualists, that the difficulties existing
between Mrs. Cora L.V. Hatch, the cele-
brated trance lecturer, and her husband,
have been adjusted upon basis of sepa-
ration. The matter was referred by mu-
tual agreement to three eminent gentlemen
of New York, who were identified with
Spiritualism, both Mrs. Hatch and her
husband agreeing to abide their desision.
After a hearing, the referees decided in
favor of a separation, and that Mrs. Hatch
be paid 300 by her husband. 1t is said
that the net receipts of the lady's lecturing
tour has amounted to Sc, 900.
