An anecdote, relative to the late Professor
Wilson, is just now circulating. When the
sutton for the hand of Professor Wilson
daughter had gained the lady's appreciation,
he was, of course referred to papa. Having
stated his, probably, not unexpected case,
the young gentleman was directed to desire
the lady to come to her father, and doubt
less her obedience was prompt. Professor
Wilson had before him, for review, some
work, on the 6y-leaf of which was duly in
scribed " With the authors compliment" -
He tore this out, pinned it to his daughter S
dress, solemnly lead her to the young lover,
and went back to his work.

LOLA MoNTEz.-The New York cores
spondent of the Charleston Courier writes;
Lola Montez is here, living quietly in
Brooklyn in private family. Lola's name

New York of Indiana.

CONFIDENCE GAME.-A few days ago. a
reputable gentleman from Decatur county,
named King who had been to the CITY on
business after purchasing a ticket for the
station near which he resides, took his seat
in one of the cars of the Cincinnati train to
return home. He had scarcely touched the
cushions, when well dressed lady and
gentleman entered, and after looking around
little while, the lady seated herself beside
our Decatur friend, and her companion Just
behind him. In a few minutes ali was hurry
and confusion. Passengers from other roads
were crowding in, and the bells were tap
ping, and "all aboard sounding A fussy
looking individual entered, and with scowl,
accosted the lady who was seated by Mr..
King, telling her with an oath that she
should not leave until she had uaid that SI5
she owed. 44sfsaF .g-laa4rk ha.
The lady was in tears in an instant, and
in turning her swimming eyes on her pro-
tector, portion of their liquid Sweetness
fell upon Mr.. King. His heart was melted
instantly. What heart would not melt at
the sight of beauty in tears2 The comBan-
ion of the lady offered to lend her the,
money, but unfortunately had nothing less
than hundred dollar BILL Would Mr.
King change it? Certainly, if he had
change enough. He drew out his noll of
notes-there were eighty dollars in it. The
gentleman then took a twenty dollar gold
piece from his pocket, and told Mr.. King to
hand the lady fifteen dollars. Nh. King
did so, the gentleman still hOlding, as he
thought, the gold piece ready for him to re-
ceive it, and proceeded to arrange his
money and deposit it in his wallet When
he looked up, the cars were, starting, and
neither the lady nor protector could be
found. ,.,s.r
Gentlemen who are inclined to be tender
hearted, please take notiee.-Stute Sentinel.

rA-In the year 1893, Daniel Rowell, one
of the pioneers of Western Virginia, being
pursued by Indians, hid his gun under red
oak log to facilitate his escape. Last week,
one of his descendants found the gun, near

barrel was not materially injured, the trig-
ger whole, the springs in the proper place,
heavy brass guards, muzzle piece and
thimble, a brass box, with the words
Liberty or Death engraved upon it. The
muzzIe of the gun had grown fast to dog
wood bush, and had been carried up by its
growth about six inches from the ground.
