Old Memories.

You can never forget them. The
universe is full Of them; they are
waited to you hy everV wind. You
hear them in the falling rain and
rustling tree-tops. They are sung by
the song birds Of the wildwood, and
are sounded by the surges Of the
sobhlng sea. They look down upon
you 10 the star beams of q summer
evening. aud they simmer through
the iocusts in the cold moonbeams
OF winter night
Soft. sad, sweet, musical, melau.
choly, touching and tender, they
come to you like echoes from the
sonnding shores of the river of time.
They subdne the restless soul, and
they kindle the better feelings of
ones nature into kind affection to-
wards all Of Gods creatures.
Every human heart is the grave of
by gene days, and forth from it into
the present, old memories ccme like
phantoms in imperfect and fanciful
resurrection, and the thoughts that
they bring with them are the most
sacred and holy of our lives. Thus
do we worship our earthly idols long
after they have been shattered and
destroyed.
In life there there are two great
prospective and retro
spective, one is the creation of youth,
the other the offspring of mature
years; one of them is the possibili-
ties of the future, the other of the
realities of the past; both are beau.
tful, both are impossible with the
present where we stand in middle
life, reaching both forward and back
ward, and striving to grasp these
fair and fanciful forms 10 vain.
The last is dearest OF all, because
it is of things that have been real.
Their forms are imaged in the soul
when all our earthly expectations are
forgotten.

wAberdeen, Ohio, is the home of
Judge Massie Beasley, who marries elOp-
ing couples from Kentucky, and is con-
sidered the apostle of the Western Gret-
ma Green. The Judge was interviewed
recently, and gave interesting informa-
tion about elopements. He is a tall,
well-built, gray-headed gentleman of
sixty, and for four years past has tied to-
gether, on an average, two hundred per
annum. He succeeded in 1869 to the
Office and business of Justice Shelton,
who had been marrying runaway coup
les since 1918, having made about four
thousand happy. Mr.. Beasley says that
he had at first determined to break up
the eloping business, but so many runa-
ways applied to him that he concluded
he would do society more harm by send
ing them back unmarried. He estimates
that there are not less than two hundred
magistrates in the United States who
marry fugitive couples without license.
The compensation ranges from five to
fifty dollars, according to the ability of
the parties, and the amount necessary to
overcome the Squire's scruples. A great
number run away to marry when there
is nobody in pursuit, or no real objec-
ton, in order to avoid the expense of a
wedding feast. The Kentucky Legisla-
ture passed an act validating the mar
riages by Judges Shelton and Beasley,
as the legitimacy of many children and
grand. children, and the claims to much
property were involved.

The Acting Autocrat of Russia.

The Acting AutOcrat of Russia.
In letter to friend, United States
Minister Jewell gives his impressions of
Russia as follows: "The government
is, of its kind, perfection and clock
work itself. The Emperor is a man of
brains. force, and progress. and think
has real love for his people They GER
tainly appear to be very fond of him
all classes He appoints the Council,
Senate, and Courts, and these make
and execute the laws His displeasure
is not pleasant thing to incur. The
people may be no more honest than
ours, but exposure is too risky. 81 the
shells are never filled with sand, nor
do the troops run. The most power
ful man here after the Emperor is
:'Tripotf." Chief of Police-a man of
wonderful executive ability--always at
fire. a row. or a parade He is al
ways just behind the Emperor when
out. and says who may come and who
may GO, and who shall be tried too,
think, and perhaps who may be con-
victed He just runs this city. and
does it to perfection. He is aceounta-
BILE to nobody but the Emperor. I
send to him to get Americans out of
scrapes. or out of the country or to
do anything else. All | know is that it
is done His dispatch to the frontier
lets anybody in or out. or stops them
for examination. He is said to be q
very just man, as he certainly is very
active one."

To Distinguish Good Calico.

The cost of yard of calico is matter
of considerable Importance to the consul
mer who studies economy: but unfortH-
nately there are those who in wishing to
practice frugality deceive themselves in
to the idea that because an article is low
in price it must necessarily be cheap.
The result of this is demand UPON the
manufacturer for low priced goods and
he, TO keep pace with the wants of his
customers, introduces into his wares.
when practicable, certain preparations
calculated to hide the fiimsineSs of the
products he is then called upon to sup
ply.
This system of dressing and finish
ing" as it is called, is practiced at the
present time to a greater extent than
ever it was before, owing to the enor-
nous advance in the price of cotton of
late years. The most common calicoes
are dressed" with flonr, china clay,
etc., and are generally so artfully filled
with one or other preparations rs to be
very deceptive to the inexperienced eve.
When, however, such dressed fabric
comes to be washed, the ''extra fine fin
ished" as it is not unfrequently called,
leaving a soft, flabbv and
iOo>ely WOVEN texture Ill Ine mana.
while the water in which it has been
soaked is almost thick enough for bill
purposes. The finest "makes,"
on the contrary, contain scarcely any
flour, and should never appear any worse
for soaking in the wash tub.
In order to ascertain to what extent
plain calico is finished, we have but TO
rub small portion of the piece to be
tested sharply between the finger and
thumb of each hand, for this ''makes
the powder fly" as the Manchester men
say. If it be of the most common quail
ity, a quantity of ''dress" will be ex-
and we shall soon see that the
threads are left as far apart as those in
sieve, crossing each other unevenly, and
on places going off, as it were, in tan
gents. Then, if we draw out single
thread and pull it asunder, it will be
found to break with swapping. If on
,he contrary the calico is a good one,
scarcely any dressing will come ont of
i on rubbing it; the threads will appear
closely woven together; single thread |
lrawn out will rather burst than snap
when pulled asunder, and the separate
,nds of such thread will present fluffy |
appearance while the whole piece will |
)e firm and elastic to the touch.

KERR, THE BORDERER.
An Incident OF Early Times in the
Muskingum Valley.
From the Cleveland Herald.I

From the Cleveland Herald
An old gentleman ] met on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, be-
tween Newark and Zlnesville, not
long ago, gave me thrilling account
of one of Hamilton Kerr's adven-
lures, as told HIM by his father, who
was q member of the "Ohio Com
pany,' and at one time under the COM
mand of Gen. Harmar. The story
has never been in public print.
Among the boldest of the spies
and rangers who operated in defense
of the first settlers of Ohio, was
Hamilton Kerr. He was of Scotch
descent, a man of powerful endu-
rance, q fleet runner, and as sly as a
fox in his movements. He was so
well posted in the art of wood craft
that the Indians hated him, and did
their best to put him out of the way.
Sometime before the Indian war
broke out, probably between 1875
and 1888, Kerr had a secret habita
tion on the island in the Ohio, above
the mouth of the Muskingum, and
while there, it is said, he sent full
forty redskins TO the happy hunting
grounds. Tsylor's History of Ohio.
| believe, verifles the assertion.
Although generally more than a
match for the most artful of the sav
ages, his victories werenot always
won easily, and several times he
came so near losing his life that, as he
expressed it, he never expected to
draw a bead on a fea:hered head
again." One of the most singular,
if not the most desperate, of his ad-
ventures, occurred In the following
manner:
One day, in the spring of the year,
while on hunting expedition up the
Muskingum, few miles north of the
Ohio, Kerr suddenly came upon three
Delaware Indians, whom he at once
recognized as his enemies He would
have avoided an open contact had he
not been seen at the same instant,
but, being on his guard. Kerr got in
the first salutation, and one of the
warriors leaped into the air with
yell, and fell dead to the earth. The
sudden and fatal movement put the
other two off their guard. for mo
ment; and the hunter, knowing that
odds were still against him, having
an empty gun, turned and ran. hop
ing to load his rife as he retreated
He had not gone far when his pow
der horn caught upon a branch, and
in his struggle to free himself, the
strap broke, and the bent limb threw
the horn several feet back. The In.
dians being in hot pursuit, it would
not do to return for powder, and the
rifle becoming worthless without it,
he threw the piece away, and trusted
to his legs for escape.
After running a while, with perfect
confidence in his ability to distance
bis pursuers, he was not little sur

One Way to Measure Land.

VIM. Penn was sly old fox. When
he bought of the Indians in 1886 tract
of land commencing on the line of his
former purchases, and extending north
westerly as far as a man could ride on
horseback in two days, doubtless he had
a tough animal in his mind for the task
When this bargain was rediscussed in
1877, and the modified plan carried out
by Thomas and John Penn, it was stipu-
lated that the purchase of 1886 be consul
mated by commencing at WrightstOwn,
in Bucks County, Pa, and terminating
at Il spot Il man could reach in one days
walk. A man by the name of Edward
Marshall was one of the walkers selected.
Mr.. J. Fl. Martin states that this man
started from Wrightstown at sunrise on
September 10, 1877, and at sunset had
reached the foot of the Blue Mountains,
and at noon next day had reached TObi-
hama Creek. He was Il better athlete
than the Indians expected to find among
the whites. He put fifty miles behind
him on the first day, and in eighteen
hours he walked eighty miles.
The Indians, we are told, were terri
bly, exasperated by the result, as they
had no idea of selling their rich hunting
grounds beyond the mountains. Their
dissatisfaction increased until it ended
in open war in 1855, and the first vic
tins of the tOmalIawk were the family of
Marshall. When land was sold in the
loose fashion described, stout athlete
was a man of much impOrtance.-The
Penn's, although Quakers, were remark
ably sharp traders. The way they pull
ed the wool over the eyes of the noble
red men would make glad the heart of
the model Indian agent of to-day.

~The democrats are arranging
for an old fashioned spree at Columbus,
on the 18th of January, the occasion
being the inauguration of Governor
Allen. There is to be a military dis
play, music by score of bands, illu-
minations. and a grand ball. More
than this the "Old Jackson Guards"
which means the relics of the better
days of democracy, are to be coaxed
to be present, and add responsibility to
the occasion. 1t being twenty years
since like occasion has occurred, it is
perhaps excusable in the democracy

COUGH ON THE WOMAN QUESTION.
Mr.. Cough thinks it is better for a
woman to be laughed at for not be-
ing married than to be unable to
laugh because she is married. The
marriage that takes all the life out of
woman, like the sunshine that takes
all the sweetness out of the grape, is
sn exceedingly suspicious commodi
ty. and ought to give the divorce
doctors something to do. But the
idea of trying to reconcile a woman
to an impaired life because another
woman found it uncomfortable is as
absurd as to try to keep her from
eating apples because Of Mother
Ewes unfortunate pomologieal ex-
perienee.

FIRST Love People talk so much
about young love, first love, being
so strong Just as if there was any
difference between first and last
love. 1t is my opinion last love is
inst us sweet and strong as first love.
Love will be love, and you cannot
make anything else out of it. A
man of thirty, or even forty, loves
just us much rs one of twenty; more,
for his feelings are stronger and he
would place his feeling on q firmer
basis. The heart has its changes
and seasons as everything else has.
"None. however, which resembles
it's first freshness and purity" says
a writer. Perhaps that is so, but
where the freshness is lost in q
second love there are strength and
truth gained. Less romance, but
more solid ground work for a life's
happiness. There is more of the
ideal about first love no doubt, but
by the time you experience second
love you become more rational.
Every year we live, more wisdom
will have mingled in our dreams of
love until it becomes less unselfish
and more reasonable First love is
two-thirds imagination anyway. L
know dark eyed girl, who thinks
she Is passing through the ordeal of
the first love now; but in o few
years she will look back at this love
and laugh. | often hear girls ex-
press great horror at the idea of be-
ing q second wife. for they fear they
should not be loved so we'll as the
first. That is wrong; second love is
often stronger, if anything. in Its
newly awakened bliss, than the first.
The birds always sing sweeter, the
trees wear a richer foliage. roses are
more beautiful, the air is fresher,
when we are in love, no matter if it
be a first, second, or third expe-
rience.-A Young Lady.

Lost Trades,

Then, again, are gone the pin-makers,
who, though they have been in their
graves this quarter or century. still
figure in lectures and essays to illustrate
the advantages of a division of labor.
Instead of a pin taking dozen men or
more to cut, grind, point, head, polish,
and what not, as it used to do. pins are
now made by neat little machines at the
rate of three hundred minute, of which
machines single child attends to half a
dozen.
Matchmaking at the forge is another
lost industry. Time was, and that in
this nineteenth century, when every nail
was made on the anvil. Now, from one
hundred TO one thousand nails per min
ute are made by machines. The mailer
who works at the forge has but bad
chance in competing with such antago-
nists, and he would have no chance ut all
were it not that his nails are ten-fOld
tougher UIIan TIE fUrIucI. a, IL IL, the
poor men follow an almost hopeless vO-
cation, and are condemned to live in
continual hand-grips with poverty.
In the days of Presidents Madison and
Monroe, and even later, straw-bOnnet
making was practiced in every middle
class house where there were growing
and straw-plaiting formed the
staple of domestic leisure work. At my
grandfather's around the huge kitchen
fire place, Caesar, born a slave, who sat
on an oak bench directly under the gap
ing chimney, and we boys, who crowded
upon the settee, used to pass winter
evenings splitting s,raws, while the las
sizes were plating them. Then bOnnetS
were bOnnets, covering the head, with
margin of foot or two to spare, and pre-
senting a sort of cOnical, shell-shaped
recess, in which dimpling smiles and
curls nestled in comfort The
work has vanished, and never will ap-
pear, unless the whirligig of fashion
should glide again into the fOrsaken
journal.

What! haven't seen JOe's baby?
You don't know what yOu'ye missed
She's the sweetest little morsel
That two lips ever kissed.
OF course there's lots of babies,
And very many smart;
But not a bit like Bessie,
Bless her little heart.
IT'S not because, poor lambie,
With neither clothes, nor name,
Into our hearts for shelter
One chilly evening came.
Nor yet because she's pretty
With cunning foot aud hand,
All full of smiles and dimples.

Altho' you'll whisper 'silly"-
