A r,uucssec Pr:s,ncr...,ow rhey Kept Him In.

a 49,
A gentlemen connected with the CHI
sincer department, Cincinnti Il South
ern Railway, gave us an amusing Hc-
count ola most cruel case of lmprn1en-
mcnt ut Huntsville, Scott County,
Tenn, durin, the summer Of 1878. The
remarkable prisoner, and the circum-
stances attending his cruel confinement,
were first brought to he notice Of the
engineers by lawyer named Overton,
who was in that country investigating
some land titles. Being i'll Huntsville
one day, Overton's attention was attract
ed by the conversation ofsome frequent
ers of an apple brandy "milI." The
party were much excited over the cruc!
and outrageous Imprisonment Of "one
of our fellows" at the instance OF some
wretch of United States Marshal.
Oycrton's sympathies were excited, and
he impaired the cause and circumstances
of the imprisonment.
"rhar he is" said the spokesman OF
the party, "over thar on the fence"
Overton looked across the street and
bchc!d seedy individual, rerohcd upon
the fence, leisurcly whiting a pine
single. The sympathetic lawyer ap-
proachel the prisoner and inquired OF
him il he was in trouble.
Prisoner-"Yes; put me in here;
charge Of 'iicit 'stillin'."
O.-"And they kept you pretty
close 2"
Prisoner-"Yaas. Time bout hall
out. Got transferred from Knoxville
jail"
G.-"Who is your jailor?"
Prisoner-:Jailor! Hain't any. Car
ry the keys myself"
At this junctare the party from tho
drinking shop had crossed the street and
came up to where Ovcrton and The
prisoner were talking.
"Yaas," said the spokesman, "d-n
shame. Them d-n marsiais had bette,
not come about here no more. Come
over and have Il drink"
And the whole party, prisoner inclu
led, adjourned 10 the "nili' and tool, !:
drink OF brandy.
In few days some of the boys" o.
the engineer corps, who had heard Of
this remarkable prisoner, visited The
Iiail at Huntsville. The door stood wild,
open, and . maa was in the only room

Hebrew aciies Dress as they did under Sole

|, is an Interesting fact and true to &
great extent that The style Of dress and
ornaments of the Hebew ladies Of the
present day-and in fact TIE prevailing
toilet of all ladies-is much the same as
during the time of Solomon. With all
the changes and variations Of centuries,
the gradationsofchi gnons and cr!nolil Q ,
we now find much of the simple grace
and easy symmetry OF ancient Greece.
The Scriptures Harraie great many
things about the style of dress worn in
Moses several directions are given con-
corning garments worn by the lsraelltcs.
In the BOOK OF judges the girls of that
period are described by Deborah as "a
prey of divers colors Of needle work, "
while Lemucl says, ether clothing is OF
silk and purple" In the frequent inter
course between the Jewish and other
nations the ladies tired of their print
live simplicity, sought the fashions OF
The clever Egyptians, the elegan,
pheniclaas, and the luxurious Persians.
Even patient Job became impatient N
the dresses, and Isaiah denounces the
"women of the period" living for moth
ing bat dress and Irritation, with the
one desire to "sce and be seem"
The tunica worn by the ladies in the
time Of Solomon was much like the
po!onaise of to-day, and the belt with
fancy clasps now worn are about the
same as the leather girdics and silver
buckles worn of old. We also find re-
corded that trains were worn To dress
es, and that camels' hair shawls were
common. Embroidered maniles, fastcn
cd with golden pins, are also spoken Of
The hair was also oiled, dyed, and put
up in coils; little curIs were let hang
over the forehead, and strange 10 say,
the girls of Solomon's time, it is started,
used paint.
Wells were worn, and sandals were
made of blue and violet colorcd leather,
with fancy lachcts. Solomon, rs is re.
lated, said to Shulamitc, GLOW bcau,i
full are thy feet with shoes; o princes
daughtcr!" Hair nets were worn, and
earrings of all forms and much value
I'werc very common. Bracelets on the
right arm, strings Of pearls and heavy
gold chains around the neck, rings on
the fingers, and other ornaments, were
all worn blythe ancient Hebrew ladies

Good Beef Cheaper Than Poor

In market quotations Of our western
towns, we find cattle quoted something
like this: Good shipping steers. $3.50
to Sc so; butchers stock, $3.50 to
$4. SO. Now why is it that, living %
people do, where 80 many cattle are
bred, they should eat so much poor beef?

indicate that the poor beef is cheapest.
But this is not true. A well TAT:

by an investigation made into the man

was charged that the prisoners had bet

the superintendent did not deny, for he
said his purpose had always been to buy
the best beef in the market; and we I'M

BEECHER-TILTON-MOUIT0N-GATII
NEW YORK, August 27.-The
lull in the Brooklyn scandal con
tinues, and that topic is now a
WORKOUT subject of conversation.
The committee will meet again to-
day, and to morrow night will fin
ish their labors Mr.. Tilton is now
filing hundreds of foolseap pages
with is new statement, and sec
tions efdocuments lie on the man
tells, sofas, desks, and burea of his
Livingstone street house in huge
piles and in great disorder, and it
will not &c ready for the newspa
pers this week, and may be delay
ed much longer. Some who are
conversant with the information
Tilton is to detail predict the com
ing document viii add to the inten
sity of feeling on the scandal, and
perhaps involve a supplemental
investigation. Othors say that
with the exception of a few unpub
lBhed letters it will contain moth
ing new. 1t is not believed he has
manyunpublished family letters in
his possession that would, at least,
save any weight in the present con
troversy. Between Moulton and
Gath, of Chicago, the family Sc
crets have been pretty extensively
ventilated, Monlton says he will
not appear on the stage again un
ill after the report of the investiga
ting committee has been presented
to the church, and intimates that
he has heavy fire in reserve.
Beecher's friends incline to the
belief that it will be weaker than
a blank cartridge.

Windsor, Orange county, New

was taken, then three of the seven
children, and a few days since the
mother succumbed to the disease
which carried off the others--dys-
entery. The remaining four chill
dren are i'll with the same COM
plant. The cause is attributed to
something in the water drank by
the family. The case excites great
sympathy in the neighborhood, as
the family are poor. An old resi-
dent of the town says that forty
years ago a family was taken off in
the same way, but this Is the only

FARM AND PIREsIDE.

Grapes For Hogs. The Ohio
fdmer mentions II. A. Huntof
Euclid, Ohio, as having fed his
hogs on called and rotten grapes
from his vineyard, and that they
did rs well as If fed on corn, and
that they ale the grapes with a
relish truly wonderful indeed, 50
passlonately fond OF the fruit did
they become, that corn would be
left when grapes could could be
reached The swine grew fat very
rapidly. and made most excellent
pork. Cows will also eat grapes,
he says, either rotten or pound,
and appear 10 do well upon them.
Raising 0aires. The New Eng
land Farmer, while con iessing
that more money can be made by
Strengthening calves and pnrchas-
ing COW or heifers to replcnish
the dairy, contends thst the prac-
tiee is, nevertheless, a reprehensi
BILE one, because the cows puachas
ed are not so good as those which
can be secured by raising calves
from the best mixers. In the pur-
chase of cows, it is asserted that
not more than one out of four are
good mixers, and even a less pro-
portion firstclass mixers while
from calves raised from tho best
mixers in a selected herd, as ma
ny as two or three out of four can
be depended upon for good results
at the pail.
Vide Rimnaed Wheels The Ru-
rat Home says: I'VE have used q
wagon with wide-rim wheels, and
found it very convenient on tho
farm diminishing the draft over
mellow fields, and in fact over
all fields, for narrow wheel will
cut into quite a Arm sod deep
enough to add considerable to tina
draft The principal objection W
ound against IL on the highway
was the fact that, differing SO much
in width from those in general
use. ii could not run in the bottom
OF the rut formed by them, but
would have to made its own rut
upon the sides of the others, thus
increasing the draft. If all wagons
or the majority of them, were Of
this character. this difficulty wosla
of course, BIO obviated. and wider
