How to Lose a Pound of Flesh.

At the late exciting races at Long Branch,
it was found one day that the riderof Long

as follows:

boy John, whose weight should have been
III pounds, he found that he weighed,
booted and spurred, 115.

Uncle John % asked. afFe E6i
"Oh, John can take off his shirt re-

After his shirt was off, John still weighed
1l4I pounds.

question.

John started. In ten minutes, with the
thermometer at 100 degrees, the boys shirt
was wet through. Taking it off it was
found to weigh half pound more than
when dry, SO the little jockey was reduced
to ia pounds. So much for hot weather
and old John Harper's shrewdness.n

Railroads in Jefferson County.

MESsRs. EDITORS Permit me, through
your valuable paper, to refer briefly to tire
subject of Railroads in Jefferson County.
The past differences alluded to in the
last issue of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE, by
FRO Bono Publico, are fortunately of a
very slight nature and are only nurtured
oy lew individuals. Our friends in the
South side of the county need not think
because we opposed the Messy Creek and
Dandrldge Narrow Gauge that we will
necessarily oppose the road now in con-
temptation. We feel that the former was
premature and unsafe on account of its To-
cation and length; the latter. if success
fully carried out, bids fair to be not only q
blessing to our friends of the south side
but an advantage to the whole county.
Let not our friends be aggrieved, we will
with all due courtesy and gratitude, re-
member them when we think it to their
advantage, and when it will be no detri-
ment to the county.
We concur most heartily with Pro Bono
Publico's proposition to do away with sec
tional preiudices, keeping in view the TACT
that whatever is of interest to one part OF
the country will be of interest to the whole.
Then as county loving and county
serving citizens you may expect something
at our hands.
We hope to be able at the August cleo
ton to vote Railroad by an overwhelm-
ing majority. = ~

ever she moved ,geniality purity and good
ness seemed to pervade the very air. You
could not look upon her happy, Christian
face and feel ill towards any fellow crea-

Grants Despotic Treatment of sOutherner.

From the IndianOpoIis Journal, July 4th. . -
In speech delivered at Cleveland, Ohio,
few evenings since, Hon. r. G.. Kirk,
late Minister to the Argentine Republic
mentioned an act of kindness performed
by President Grant toward certain ex-reb-
els, which is not generally known. After
feeling that they could not live under the
United States Government, went to Brazil
with their families. In a short time many
of them became reduced to acondition of alb
solute starvation, and were eager to get
back to the Udited States, but were unable
to do so. In this situation President
Grant ordered that all who wished to re-
turn should be transported on Govern
ment steamers, free of expense, and near
ly'all of them thus found their W ay back.

The Kingston Dif6culfy.

am sorry that n gentleman who gave
somewhat detailed account, in the
CHRONICLE of the 4th inst, of the shoot
ing affair at Kingston, between J. c.. Rowe
and Lud Washam, Tr., was not better
posted. The facts seem to be at variance
with his account, and his statements are
certainly calculated to mislead the unin-
formed. He says: :" Rowe went down to
Betterton's establishment where Washam
was employed and, with pistol in hand,
said he had come to settle that old grudge. -
Now, Rowe had been working ali day at
Mr.. Reads shop in South Kingston, and
on his way to his home on Race street. in
the east end of town, as he passed up the
street on which he lives, he met Washam
on the porch of Mr.. Betterton's store
house, on the opposite side of the street
from where Washam had been at work OH
new building which he is erecting.
Rowe lid not have pistol in his hand as
your informant says, but, on the contrary,
was leisurely smoking his pipe A brief
conversation ensued, when the battle was
opened Gas we areinformed by by-standers)
by Washam. We are not able to say which
of the combatants succeeded in drawing
the weapon from its concealment first, but
we are credibly informed that Nasham
fired once and snapped his pistol second
time before Rowe fired his. Your inform
ant further states that 'the combatants
were separated and an end put to the mee-
lee" This statement is likewise incorrect.
After the firing of two shots a piece, which
resulted in the serious wOunding of Wash
am, he (Washam) walked off the porch,
and, if am correctly informed, went back
through the store. But for the lack infor-
nation on the part of your informant or
deficiency in memory, l should not have
troubled you with this brief account. This
much, however, is due to all parties con-
cerned. 80 tii - tfff JUSTICE.
