A Private SILL.

The Madison Courier tells this Of Q
revenue officer who was sent into the
Illicit whisky distilling district in Ken
lucky. He knew Illicit distilling was
going on, but he could get no basis TO
work from. Coming to an Irishman
who was tolersbly drunk, the officer
tapped him on the shoulder a,d said:
MY man, do you want to make ten
dollars p as it ten dollars :" said Pat,
"sure and l do." "Thep," said the Of
icer, "show me Q private still" "Pll
do the same; follow me, yer Honor"
The officer followed scroes lots and
fields to the camp Of q company OF
soldiers that had been sent there 70 aid
the revenue officers. The soldiers were
in line-dress parade. "Do you see that
red-hesded man r asked Pat, pointing
to one of the soldiers. yes" replied
the officer. HE is," said Pat, my
brother. Re's been in. the service
twelve yesrs He'll be q corporal after
a while, but be is a private STILL" Ten
dollars gone, and no illicit whisky found,
moralized the officer as he wended his

A correspondent writing from New
Richmond. Summers county. to tn,
Greenbrier Independent. says:
| Our place, though not growing o.

is still improving, and is destined To
become quite q business point. A
large depot IS now being erected here,
by the railroad company, and q station
has been established, by the name OF
New River Falls" The trains now
stop here.
Four or five companies are now large
= engaged in the stave business, in this
vicinity. and have already commenced
shipping. In a short time fifteen or
twenty thousand slaves will be shipped
weekly, from this place.
The "Quinnimout Furnace" at the
month of Laurel Creek, IA miles below
this place, is being rapidly erected, and
will be in blast by the first OF October
next. The Company are working a
large number of hands, and the place
is rapidly assuming the appearance Of
a village. / understand there are sew.
eral other furnaces to be erected on
New River, below this, in short time.
An Englishmsu, John Clifton, was
killed on yesterday, below this place,
by a hand car running over him. He
Nas about twenty five years OF age, and
an employee on the railroad. He had

AN AKRoNAuT's ExPERlENcE.-There
has been a great deal Of discussion as
to the altitude at which human beings
can exist. and Mr.. Glaisher can tell us
az much about it as anybody. In July,
1872, he and Mr.. Coxwell ascended IN q
balloon to the enormous elevation Of 81,
600 feet. Previous to the start Mr.. Glais-
hers pulse stood at seventy-six beats
a minute; Coxwelrs at seventy.four
At II, 900 feet the pulse of the former
was at eighty-iour; that of the latter at
cae hundred. At 10000 feet Glaishers 9
lips aud hands were quite blue, but not
bis face. At 81 600 feet be heard his
heart beating, and bis breathing became
oppressed. At 10000 be became sense,
less-notwithstanding which, the aeron
aut, 10 the interest Of science, went up
another 5000 feet, till be could no long
er use his hands, and had to pull the
strings of the valve With his teeth.

Tall Men.

From the Sacramento Record.
The Ssrsefield Guard, which appear

at its head the following six tall men ::
Mike Brite, :6 feet 81 inches; J. B..

6 feet 6 inches; A. J. Holland, 6 feet
81 inches; D. ellis, 6 feet . inches; C.
S. Msjor, 6 feet inches. There were
three others belonging to the corps who
if present, would have made the aver
age weight OF 256 pounds, whereas 1t
was 25l pounds, the aggregate being
| 500 pounds for the six men; and in
length they would make 3S4
feet of pioneers. One Of the
absent pioneers of the company breathes
in an upper atmosphere 6 feet 7 inches

nor's resignation, the supposed absence
Of any provision in the law for a special
election to fill the vacancy thus created.
We have already referred our neighbor
to the 4lst section of Chapter lib Of the
Acts Of 1873 as containing all the law
thatis is necessary in relation to the mat
ter, and yet, to our great disappolnt-
ment, our neighbor no longer calls up

be happy to loan our copy Of the law to
any person who is skepticsl as

especial pleasure in pointing it ou! to
the editor of the Inteliigeacsr if he will
call at this office, and then, having as
sured him that the obstacle that in'

expect him to renew the demand we so
cheerfulIy seconded for Governor

Upon reflection, we believe that the

Pleasant Prospects for the Repub-
lie.
Accounts from Main state that Presi
dene Grant is expected in August next
week, but it is not possible to state the
day. The fact of his coming has been
kept very still, and the people outside
of the favored circles had no knowledge
OF it till it leaked out in the papers, and
then it was at once announced that he
was coming on a private visit with his
family, and that no public demonstra.
ton would be made. That this visit
means more than is thus made to appear
on the surface may be relied upon. Mr..
Blaiue's real purpose in bringing about
this visit rs to induce the President to
appoint Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill, Chief
Justice OF the United States in order
that he (Mr. Blsiue) may be elected
himself to the Senate in place OF Mr..
Morri;l as an advanced position from
which to operate for the Presidency IN
1876, and every possible influence will
be brought 10 bear on the President to
accomplish this purpose. Mr.. Morrill,
will be opposed at the close OF bis term
on account OF his voting for the salary
crab, and it is said he is not averse to
becoming the successor of the lament
ed Chase. lie is undoubtedly as well
qualified to perform the duties OF that
exalted position as either Of the Sens-
torial candidates named.

We are much indebted 10 Hon.
GEORGE II. LsS, OF Harrison county, for
a printed copy Of his argument before
the Supreme Court Of Appeals in the
somewhat celebrated Peuitentiary case.
It is one of the most complete and
scholarly of the arguments adduced IN
favor of the constitutionality OF the acts
OF the legislature involved in the case,
and presents the law SO clearly as to be
absolutely convincing and uuanswera-
bic. We would be glad to
publish it entire, but for the
fac. that the decision has been already
rendered and reported in full and, espe-
ciallv when as in this case the judg-
nent of the Court so amply sussains the
views set forth bv the attorney, 1t seems
useless to argue the case after 1t has
been decided. "Finis corOnat opus"
Judge LEE deserves many compl'-
ments for the industry and research en-
ployed by him in the preparation OF
his argument and the legal learning 1t
displays. And indeed Messrs. FERGUSON
and BoGGEss ofthe counsel on the same
sjde OF the case have also added lau-
rels to their already high reputation as
LAWYERS and earned the thanks OF the
reople OF the State.

Puddiu: and Pies not Ua healthy.

We take the following from HALLS
Journal of Health The universal er.
ror as to the unb eslthipess of pies, pud-
dings and pastries, taking it for granted
that they are all well made and prop
erly cooked, has arisen from the simple
fac, that after we have made a full
meal of other things the stomach is op-
pressed BY them, and if the process is
repeated becomes eventually dyspeptic
that is, has not the power to work up
the food, because it has been worked to-
death already. 1t would be quite ss
philosophical if man has become very
tired OF blowing all day, and siterwar9
By chopping wood has worked himself

healthy to chop, I

Back Pay-Ons who Hadn't Made I'M
His Mind.

His Mind.
Itwas 8 somewhat blunt inquiry
though propounded in the blandest
manner, that an ex-Congressman pu,
the other day to q member OF the las,
Congress. Have you drawn your back
payT The member had united with
his constituents since the adjournment
in hearty and indignant denuncia ton
of the grab, and without q moments
hesitation responded, "Oh no +; no, no,
cir" His interrogation being of an in-
quisitive turn OF mind, did what, per.
hsps, he ought not to have done-pur>
sued the inquiry.
Have you turned it into the Treas
ury?'
The answer was trifs less prompt.
"N-n-o. l havn't yet. But it's there.
| havn't drawn it,"
"Well, are you going to draw it p
pursued the inquirer.
The member looked over his spects-
cles and winked. Then he began to
show just the fsintest ripple of an ap-
preaching smile. And after . while he |
said, with great dsliberstion: "Well, |
1-don't-know-1 haven't drawn it
yet. It's there, and l suppose it's sub
ject to my order. There's q good deal
Of feeling about it, and / don't know.
havn't made up my mind what /
shall do. l havn't drawn it yet, and
shan't draw it At present any way"
And then, after moments contempla-
i've pause, the coming smile rippled to
be surface as he added in e burst OF
confidence: THE fact is, I've been
building house, and it has cost me
;ood deal more than l expected, and
Pell-I don't know. Five thousand
ollars is good deal of money. III
avn't made up my mind yet; but it's
we thousand dollars; my house has
ost me more than I expected. and five /,
houssnd dollars is q good deal OF
