For the loan of a copy of the above
work we are indebted, and hereby tender
our thanks, to Miss lIortensie Williams,

remember well the statements that may
be made. Meanwhile, we are compiling
a synopsis Of Winchester as it stands to-
day-its population, and the number of its
lawyers, merchants, groccrs, h y%sicians,
mechanics Of all kinds, shops, buildings,
schools, churches, newspapers, artists, &C.,
&c, so that a fair line of dcmarkation may
be drawn, Us well as differences, between
our town in 1888 and our town rs it Is to-
day. We shall also show up Franklin
county as it wa then and it is now. For
the present we will only quote from the
book above alluded to:

HEAVY FEosT.-On the morning of the
Illh there was a heavy frost, but no dam
age resulted to anything. The frost must
have formed Il short while before daylight,
and the fog which covered the faco Of the
earth very early, caused it to vanish
without doing any injury. There is still
left plenty Of fruit, and if we have no
killing frost the yield OF wheat in this
county will be very large.

llORSE THIEF.-Our clever citizen, Mr..
W. G.. Tanning, has tccn taken I'M by
one Charles G.. Allen in a horse trade.
Said so-callcd Allen came to Winchester
upon Il fine mare. The mare was heavy
in foai, ant this seemed a plausible excuse
to Mr.. Tanning for Aliens desire to trade
or sell her. And so, Mr.. Tanning snapped
him Il fine horse for her, and took from
Allen the following paper, to-wit:

Witncss-J.J Martin and Jas.P. Travis.
Within about eleven days here came
along three men from Dalton, Ga. two OF
whom were named Cox, and their identity
being fully established to the satisfaction
Of Mr.. Tanning, and also that the mare
had been stolen ny said Allen, the animal
was given up to the protested owner, Mr.
Fred. Cox. Allen is a young man. about
% years old, ~nicc-looking, &c, as most Of

Aloft in realms of air!
Ye pour your streams of light divine
Above our low despair
" climbed and climbed these weary years
10 come your glories nigh;
I'm tired of climbing, AMI in tears
Here on the earth lie.
Asa weak child all vainly tries
To pluck the evening star,
50 vain have been my -loag cries
To reach up where ye are.
Shine on, shine on through earth's dark night
Nor let your gories pale;
Some stronger soul may win the height
Where weaker ones must fail,

And this one thought of hope and trust
d "a Comes with its soothing balm,
AS here lay my brow in dust,
And breathe my lowly psalm
That not for heights of victory won,
But those tried to gain,

And sweet ettacing rain.
Then on your awful heights of blue,
Shine on, forever shine; '.t

A Berlin Beauty and Her Opera Garb.

The Countess Seidlewitz is celebra-
ted Court beauty, and is a lady
of honor to the Princess Carl Ga
sister of the Empressl She sat just
next TO me, as only the partition of the
box was between lis, and she was the
most beautiful woman / saw-perfectly
imperial in fact-white and magnificent
as lily. Her features were perfectly
regular, and she had proudly -cut mouth,
and such dazzling little teeth! Then her
arms, neck, and shape were exquisite.
She wore the severest kind of dress, and
one that only such beauty could have
borne. 1t was a white silk, with an un-
usual train, of course, and without over
skirt, simply caught up in great puff
behind. The waist was made with a
small basque, but very low, and with
very short sleeves. Round the neck
was a white bugle fringe, and then there
were two or three rows of this fringe in
front, graduating to the waist, smaller
and smaller, and going round the basque.
All the front breadth of the skirt was
laid in folds of satin, in groups of three,
and on the edge of every third row was
the fringe again, graduating wider and
wider toward the bottom. In her hair
was wreath of white verbenas, or
snow balls, and green leaves. Her sole
ornament was a magnificent diamond
locket and earrings of some curious de-
sign, the locket depending from a very
fine gold chain, which challenged all
her neck. One sly bit of coquetry was
visible in two natural flowers, lilies-of-
the-valley, with their leaves, which she
had stuck in her corsage so that they
should rest against her neck and show
that they were not whittier than her skinl
You see there were no folds anywhere.
The whole dress hung in long lines and
showed the contour of the figure, moth
ing but these fringes which cleaned and
waved with every motion to relieve it
not even bit of black velvet anywhere,
for the lace round the neck was drawn
through with white silk thread. There
was another lady in the same box, whose
dress was very beautiful, too, though
she herself was not. 1t was a green silk
with green tulle over-dress pulled, and
with ears of silver wheat, scattered over
it. The tunic was of SILVER Grape, the
bottom cut in scallops and trimmed
with silver wheat. A wisp of wheat
was knotted round her neck for a neck
lace, and perfect sheaf of it in her
hair. 1t was an exquisite dress Cor
respondence of Toledo Blade.
