AN ELopEMENT.-There was considera-
BILE excitement at one of the Albany
hotels yesterday, An old gentleman from
New York, according to the Knicker-
locker, called there in search of his
daughter, who had eloped with one Of
the members Of the Evangelical Alliance.
He did not at first reveal his business,
but attracted the attention of the clerk
by his strange conduct. He examined
the register several times in nervous
manner. He finally asked hall boy the
way to room No. 70, He stopped before
the door, and was apparently listening
when the clerk, who had followed him
ordered him away, He refused to csm-
ply, and drew large sized revolver. The
clerk retreated, and reported below that
a crazy man was in the upper hall
The proprietor armed himself, and, sum
moning a posse, assembled the stairs
They found the old man pacing the hall
aud brandishing his shooter. He refused
to surrender until he had seen who were
in room rs. The uproar attracted the
attention of the occupants of the room
when a head somewhat sprinkled with
gray was partially thrust out. The old
man shouted That's the reprobate
Bring him out so that may shoot him
Bring forth my daughter and return hel
to me instantly or | will shoot you The
gentleman forthwith led forth a lady ap.
parently twenty years his senior. The
old gentleman begged thousand par.
dons for his conduct and returned to New
York. The inmate Of room rs left seor
after, and it was noticed that lady
about twenty years his junior accompanied
him. They bought tickets for Chicago
and by this time perhaps the old gentle
man has learned his mistake.

AN OLD.FAsHIoNED iIAr.-A long
time ago, when we old folks were young
when girls wore big boructs and never
dreamed of wearing n hat like e hoy's,-
there was in fashion II small l,jry.Iike hat
OF silver or gold, to wear ou the finger
Every girl had one, and was taught tc
use it almost as soon as she was out oI
her cradle; young ladies wore it nearly
all Of the time, and as for mothers-why Y
they scarcely took it off to 60 to bed.
They were very pretty little things
made Of gold or silver, as | said, and
though they are somewhat out of style
just now, l think you will like to know a
little about them The Germans call
them fngcr.hats, aud our English fore
fathers, who had time to give long names
to everything, called them thumb-bells
but OF late the world has got into such a
hurry that we've shortened that pretty
name into a thimble, and now, Of course
you think you know all about them.
You may know how one looks, and
what it is for, though thanks to sewing
machnes,you don't have to wear it much,
and the time has long gone by when it
was necessary to every girls good name
that she should embroidcr sampler
full Of letters aud figures, and have it hung
up before she was dozen years old But
| don't believe you know how it comes to
be dainty little fuger-hat instead of a
silver spoon, or a gold ring.
Why, how many persons do you sup.
pose it has taken to bring it from the
state of tiny specks to the pretty little
thing it is? Not to count miners, or
crushers, or refiners, or any Of those peo.
pie, but to begin when it enters the thin.
BILE factory, it takes about twenty work
men, besides lots of machinery, to make
it.

forgotten. there will have to be note at
the bottom Of the page, explaining the
use OF that antique tool the thimble.
Whom we are to thank for the gift OF
thimbles we do not know, except that the
inventor was woman. Some writer says
they came from the Industrious danes OF
Holland with their quaint name of finger.

some small footed lady of the Flowory

1t is not quite two hundred years sincc
they were introduced into England. How
do you suppose ladies did the wonderful
embroidery that has come down to us
from those old times, book.covors, robes,
and almost everything else, when they
had no stout little thumb.bell to protect
their fingers ?

A Few Words About the Railroad.

About the performance of the
work upon the line Of the Gallipolis,
Macarthur " Columbus Railroad,
north of the junction with the Farm
crs u Miners Railroad line, near
the residence of CORNELIUS KARNEs,
six miles north Of Macarthur, in
Swan township, Vinton county, we
hear little or nothing said. What
do the people of Logan propose
doing in the matter? Surely they
do not intend to sit down quietly
and allow the Farmers and Miners
Railroad Co., to build u road from
Urbana, Circleville and other places
in that direction, to intersect the
Gallipolis, Macarthur & Columbus
road at the point near KARNEs', and
leave Logan "out in the cold" To
the citizens of Logan and vicinity,
and along the line, and those in
terested in the development Of the
country and this iron and coal dis
trict, we can say that this enter
prise is one that is within their
reach, and will benefit them ten
fold for every dollar invested
in the enterprise. There
should not be moments delay, and
with prompt action on their part, q
sufficient amount of money can be
raised in two weeks to finish the
road from KARNE's to Logan. Pres
ident w. H. LANGLEY has been here
for several days seeing to it, that
the work on the line north of town
is being pushed onward in the fast
est manner. He is alive !-he wants
to see life all around him!! Pay one
thousand dollars to the company
and President LANGLEY will do as
much grading with the one thou
sand dollars as any other railroad
company have done with three
Thousand dollars. If our Logan
friends doubt this let some of them
come over and look at the work.
Do not sleep until the Farmers &
Miners Company completely insti-
tute active md efficient measures
to insure the construction of q line
to connect with the Cincinnati q
Muskingum Valley railway at Cir
cleville, and with other roads at
other points. Within the next two
weeks, if the weather is favorable,
the grading will be completed from
Macarthur to the junction with the
Farmers a. Miners line

Of two medicine and do 1t much better than
any twowe know OF, for they remove nothing
from the system but impurities, so that while
they purge they also strengthen and hence
they cause no debility and are followed by no
