startling discovery thatshe is the herightful heir
of property to the amount,of about one million
dollars in the upper part sof this city. The.
lady claims that she is the direct and only
living lineal descendant and sole heir of George
and Ann E. Hatton, who, In lS47, obtained
patent for one hundred acres of land in No. 2S,
of illinois grant, from Andrew P. Hay, David
w. Daily, Samuel McCampbell, Christopher
Cole, and Alexander Mars, who were appoint
ed by the General Assembly OF the State Of
Virginia as commissioners to apportlon and
deed the lands granted to the Illinois regiment.
This patent was issued to George and B. Hat
ton as the sole heirs Of one Christopher Hat
ton, who was a soldier under Gen. George
Rogers CLARK in the famous peditioninswhat
was known as the Illinois regiment.
The suit which will decide her claim ist for
lot No. 81, Upper Oak streef, the property Of
William S. Cnlbertson, and in the event other
success in the case, she will, it is said, com
mence suit for the3whole$estate. The case is
gdocketed Tor the eleventh day of the present
stermof the Floyd Circuit Court. 1t: is Great
5iog quite asensationt In real estate circles =
Her claim embraces 100 acres, 81. sssi :
The defendant has not answered the COM
plant of the plaintiff yet, but has moved the
court to order her to file an abstract OF ithe
title by which she expects to maintain her
action; which motion was granted, but as yet
the abstract has not been filed. aa

sas-AsYoUNG LADY returning to her coun-
try home. after sojourn Of a few months in the
city, was hardly recognized by her friends. In;
place of a coarse rustic. flushed face, she had q
soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth-
ness and instead of twenty three she really ap-5
,peared but eighteen. !. Upon inquiry as to the
cause Of 50 great q change, she plainly told them
that she used the CIRcAssIAN BALM, and con-
sidered it an inyaluabl acquisition to any lady's
toilet. By its use any lady or gentleman can
improve their personal appearancean hundred
fold. 1t is simple in its combination, as Nature
herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in iss efficacy
in drawing impurities from, also healing, clean
sing and identifying the skin and complexion.
By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from
it anits impurities, kindly healing the same,
and leaving e'surface nature intended it
should be, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.

The WIFE WHAT CRoWs-There is. in
this city a young married woman who is
afflicted with mania for Initiating the$crpw
ing of the morning cock. while in state of
somnolence. We. are assured that at the hour
appointed by nature for chanticleer to frigh hten
away the midnight Iprowlers from yawning
graveyards, the fortunate husband of the
Growing wife, on the first night of hissmar
riaee, was reused from his slumbers By most
lnsty growing. On opening his eyes, what was
his astonishment to behold his better. half
seated in,the middle of the connubial couch of
copjugal bliss, Tapping her wings and growing
in most; loud and clear voice, stretching out
her neck after, the most approved rooster
fashioni Thrice did she thus "herald in the
morn, and then sank back. and slept on. In
the morning he spoke to her about it, and was
not more surprised than amused to learn that
she had been born in the country, and that a.
favorite Shanghai, - which roasted with his
! festhered family in the hen coop near the win
dow of the maternal bed-chamber, frightened
Z her mother by his loud Growing, and thus the
child was marked. = And ever since-yes,
even when ababe lying in the cradle, she has
been wont to wake the echoes Of the coming
dawn by initiating we rooster and still,
eacu ulUTu MIG udpS HtI WluSS duu SIoWS.I
!. AS the business Of the husband requires him
to. rise very early, he is3rather pleased than
otherwise to find his wife possessed of this ad-
ditional aecomplis which dispenses with
: the necessity for an alarm clock, though hav-
ing heard bis grandmother say that. the Grow
ing of hen indicated ill-uck. unless her head:
was Immediately cut off, /" he issin some doubt,
whether, in order to insure good fortune to his
household, he is not in duty bound to stop his
wife's growing BY severing her musical throat
We advise him to let his shen" crow n,5so
long as she does not peck him. !. "a
Some persons may question the truth of this
remarkable incident; but we can assure such
that it is true in every particular, and can be
vouched for BY responsible parties who have
known the lady from: infancy; and the moral
of it is, thatla who do not desire Growing
children, !" should not sleep too near the hen
coop. Richmond Examiner.

The Negro Suffrage Resolution
HD.l

The Joint resolution to submit to the peo-
pie, at the next October election, the ques-
tion of striking the word white" from the
suffrage clause of the State Constitution of
Ohio, passed the Legislature by the requis-
ite two-thirds majority in both branches,
and appears officially in our paper to-day.
When the question came up for final ac-
tion, several of the Conservative Republic
can members rendered their designations,
which the Radical majority wouldn't ac-
cept. They, and all the Republican mem
bers had to stand up t. the issue, and come
straight out for the nigger. The Radicals
whipped them in, and well may the Ctron-
icLe rejoice, as it does, at the great victory
its Radical co-workers achieved at Colum-
bus. Wes too, rejoice that the Republican
party of the State, who have been playing
''fast and loose" so long on the niger
question, are at last forced to square
issue. They must now, as party, in the
language of the Cleveland Leader, slightly
modified, inscribe Niger Suffrage "upon
their banners, fight for it, vote for it,"
The Radical State Convention in June must,
of necessity, repudiate the white man in
the Constitution, and put the negro in his
place. Shall we have in Ohio negro voters
at the polls, not merely those of more white
blood than black, but full-blooded darkeys
of pure African descent? Shall such sit as
Jurors, fill our local and state offices, and
make laws for the white people of Ohio
The issue is made up; the people will pass
upon it at the next State election, and their
answer to the question the Legislature has
put will be in thunder tones mo" The
word .'white'' shall NOT be stricken from
the Constitution of Ohio.-Ohdo Democrat.
