THE MARK TWAIN OF THE
SOUTH GETTING LOST.

After pursuing this road for more
than an hour andfeeling that we were
lost we espied a house about half
mile distant in the center of an old
field. and turned our horses head in
that direction. As we approached
the house, we were met at the bars
1--WE always did hate bars) by three
NANCY hounds, an old cur dog, and
a bench-leg fee, that kept up the
most incongruOus barking that we
ever heard. The barking of the
dogs brought to the door the whole
population of that residence-an old
woman, a younger woman, three
strapping barefoot girls, and five
little tow-headed children, who had
Just been feasting on blackberry pie,
their faces presenting study for
one of the old masters-smeared over
with blackberry pie and thirty cent
molasses, they looked as. if they
were happy, if they could keep the
flies away. The old woman, at our
approach seized a rake and making
after the dogs, succeeded in driving
them Under the house, but did not
stop their unearthly barking. " Shet
up, Tige, You old yaller whelp ye;
anybody can't hear their years.
Mary Ann, do wish you would
make them cussed dogs hush up. |
do wish you would make them
cussed dogs hush up. l can't hear
one single word the man says"
Mary Ann succeeded at length to
quiet the dogs, and we asked, in our
politest way, Madam, will you do
us the favor to inform rs the nearest
way to -, who lives in this
neighborhood?" " Why, man alive
which way did you come? You're
about fpe miles from his house,"
(our friend lived only se0en miles
from town, and we had travelled
more than an hour from the main
road,) "and you'll have to go right
back the way you come" We no.
ticed black threatening cloud ris-
ing in the west, and the rumbling
thunder admonished us that we
would likely get good soaking, so
in rather a hurried manner, we
asked. "Will you tell us the nearest
way, and we will try and find it,"
"Oh! yes," said the old woman,
"you win just turn round and go
out through the bars, and then go
down the hill by the spring-house,
and cross the branch below the
spring-house and you will go up
the hill just on the other side OF the
spring house, where you will see
left hand road, now you don't take
that left hand road, but jist go
straight on, till you come to the
forks Of the road where one OF them
~oes down to the mill, and the other
leads you down to the school-house
IN the edge of the old field; now you
don't take airy one of these forks,
but you cross both of them and go
on till you come to a hay-stack in
the corner of the field, on the hill on
the other side of the old meeting

Yer right when you lays it down, Parson
That the tiesh is weak and snare;
And to keep yer plow in the furrow
When the cattle begins to rare
Aint't no sure thing And between us,
The same may be said of Prayer
Why, I stood the jokes, on the river,
OF the boys when the critters found
That I'd jined the Church, and the snicker
That may be ye mind, went round.
The day l sat down with the mourners,
In the old camp-meetin' ground
I stood all that, and reckon
might, at pinch, stood more
For the boys they represent Bael,
And l stands as the Rock of the Law,
And it seemed like moral serimmage,
In ho1dfn again their jaw.
But thar's crosses Christian suffers,
As heznt got that pretense-
Things with no moral purpose,
Things ez hez got no sense;
Things ez, somehow, no profit
VIII cover their first expense.

Addressin' the Throne of Grace,
And mother knelt in the corner,
And each of the boys in his place

But drove that prayer down the fprrow
With the cat hidin' under my cheer,
And Keziah a whispperin' "Sic her?'
And mother sayin', "You dare p
I asked fer light fer the heather,
To guide on his narer track,
With that dog and that cat jist waltzin'.
And Jonathan's face jest black,
When the pup made a rush, and the kitten

SIMPLE, but said to be certain.
In paying hack fare, downeaster
dropped three bills which were car
ried away by the wind. After
searching anxiously for them he
resorted to the use of strategy. Re-
turning to the place where the bills
were dropped, he permitted the
wind to catch small piece of paper.
Following its flight, he found that
where it rested there also were his
bills.

The Living Queens of Spain.

There are so many Queens of Spain
about the world that when one of them
is named moments reflection is neces-
sary to remember her present situation
and past history. In an important par
ticular they are all alike. No one of
them is on full pay, or likely soon to
become so. There is Maria Christina,
the old Refine Gobernadora. who of late
years has dropped very much out of
sight, but who is occasionally heard of
at French sea-bathing place. There
is her daughter Isabella, who. like her
mother, was expelled from Spain by an
ungrateful people, and who resides
chiefly in Paris. There is a third ex-
Queen who lives in Italy, and who.
having tolerably good position to fall
back on in her country, has altogether
discontinued the titles she bore during
her brief and anxious residence in
Madrid and fourth Spanish Queen
exists, SO styled by herself, but who, un-
like the three already named, has never
sat upon the throne, but speaks very
confidently of, one day, doing so. 1t is
this last lady who has sent reply to the
address recently dispatched to her by
the Marseilles royalists.

Vegetable Glue.

Gum arabic solutions are frequently
employed instead of glue and mucilage,
but are Objectionable on two accounts.
First, they render the unsized paper
transparent, and if a piece of common
printing paper is attached to any dark
or printed surface the color shines
through, and, besides, it does not attach
it firmly to other paper. Neither can
paper be attached to wood or paste
board. Paper pasted on metallic sur
faces with gum arabic usually separates
from it in a short time. As a cement
for glass, porcelain and earthenware, it
is utterly useless. We are informed, on
good authority, that all these disadvan-
tages are overcome by simply adding an
aqueous solution OF sulphate of alumni
mum, two grams of the crystalized sui
plate of aluminium being sufficient for
$50 grams of concentrated gum solution
prepared from two parts gum to five OF
water. The salt named dissolves In ten
times its quantity of water, and is added
directly to the gum solution. Asolution
of alum does not answer as well as the
simple sulphate of alumina, which can
be prepared from alum by precipitating
the alumina with ammonia, washing
thoroughly on filter, and diss diving in
sulphuric acid. The vegetable glue thus
prepared will not, of course, ferment,
sour or mold, which will be appreciated
by those using t.-Ercho7age.

A Princely Distinction.

There are many features IN the life of
Ems. The place is full Of amusement
or interesting characters. At the Kur-
saal the other day, when the Emperor
of Russia and the King OF Saxony, with
all their brilliant surroundings, were
there, might have been seer golden
haired English girl, still almost hoy
den and rather angular in outline, from
extreme youth, though she was just
married. She was on her bridal tour
and dressed in wonderful clothes from
Cornwall, which were angular too, and
she had the somewhat mystic look In
her eyes which is common to the beau
ties of Bodmin and Lostwithiel. Be-
side her was seated poor relation or an
humble dependent, and her husband
stood little way off, not knowing exact
ly what to do with his hands. They
were all three looking bewildered at the
scene around them, when Russian
prince, tall and straight as young pep
lar tree, strobe up to the lady, and with
a knightly air asked her to waltz with
him. She danced very well, though
she looked oddly enough, and by and by
the poor relation, who will then, per-
haps, be housekeeper at the hall, will
tell to wondering listeners, after the
harvest homes and by winter iresides,
how her mistress shone at the baths at
Ems in the pride of her young lowell
ness, in that far-off time which is now
to-day

fed the committee that he will make a "clean
breast" on Saturday evening, August s. He
was examined this evening for about one
hour.
Nr. Moulton. in his letter to the Investi-
eating Committee accepting the invitation to
appear and testify, says: 1 have endeavored
to avert the calamity which has now fallen
upon all. With the consent or request of Mr.
Beecher and Mr.. Triton 1 have felt myself
ready, sorrowfully, to give all the facts that
know about the object of inquiry of the
Committee, produce whatever papers 1
have to the Committee, and leave copies
of the same with them if they desire it, with
perhaps the one stipulation that if l was to
give my evidence orally or to be cross-ex-
amined, 1 might bring with me a phono-
graphic reporter in order that / should
have an exact copy for my own protection.
Since am now fully released from nay conf

sad affair, and, since my only proper state
ment must consist of truth. the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, see no especial
reason why it may not be made at one time as
we'll as at another. But as my statement
must necessarily include great multiplicity
of facts and papers, must ask little delay
to arrange and copy them. Accordingly
suggest Saturday evening, August s, as an
evening convenient for me to lay my state
ment before the committee"

A Saratoga " Saw.o

Hank Monk, the stage-driver, who
gave Horace Greeley his memorable
mountain ride, in common with all his
tribe, hates the sight of the ponderous
architecture III the trunk line known as
the :" Saratoga baud-box." He likes
Saratoga" about as we'll as cat likes
hot soup. He now drives on the stage
line between Carson City and Lake
Tahoe. He was driving on the same
line last summer. A Virginia lady who
was stopping at the Glenbrook House
had a Saratoga" at Carson which she
wished brought up TO the lake. 1t was
about as long and wide as q frst-class
sprlng-mattress, and Z Or S feet high.
The lady had managed to get it as far
as Carson by rail, but the trouble was
to get it up into the mountains. Hank
had promised two or three times to
bring it up next trip" but always ar
rived without it. At last Hank drove
up next evening, and, as usual, the lady
came out upon the veranda to ask if he
had brought her trunk. Like that great
and good man, George, Hank cannot tell
lie, and SO he said, ''No, ma'am,
haven't brought it, but I think some of
it will be up by the next stage" "Some
of it !" cried the lady. "Yes; may be
half of it, or such a matter" "half
of it - groaned the Mortified owner of
the Saratoga. Eyes; half tomorrow
and the rest next day or the day after"
"Why, how in the name of common
sense can they bring half OF it ?" ''Well,
when I left they were saving it in two,
and" =" Saving it in two Saving my
trunk in two % ''That was what said
cody answered Hank. "Two men, with
big cross-eut saw, were working down
through it-about in the middle, I
think" "Sawing my trunk in two p
and all my best clothes in it? Saving
it in the middle - And in a towering
passion she rushed indoors, threatening
the hotel, the stage line, the railroad
company, the town of Carson, and the
State of Nevada with suits for damage.
1t was in vain that she was assured that
there was no truth in the story of the
sawing-that Monk was great Joker
she could not be made to believe but
that her trunk had been sawed in two

How Statues Are Made.

The bronze statuary just now so pop
ular is manufactured by a simple
enough process. Over the clay model
is poured coating of plaster of Paris,
which, having been allowed to set, is
taken off in sections, thus affording a
hollow mold of the figure. From such
mold is produced a stucco duplicate,
either of the entire statue or of such
portion thereof as is intended to be
cast at time, and on this again is
formed second mold of greater thick
ness and solidity for the reception of
molten metal. The material used for
the final mold is a composition of
stucco and brick-dust This is applied
in a plastic state to the stucco model,
from which its inner surface takes the
form of the figure. Were statues cast
solid, it would now only be necessary
to separate mold from model, and run
metal into the former till its interior
was filed. This, however, would in
volve absurd waste, and in order to
economize material a solid core is
placed inside the mould, leaving only
such space all around as will receive
the thickness of metal deemed necessa-
ry for the work In hand. The mould
with its core having been thus COM
pleted and firmly hoped round with
iron, is placed in kiln to bake to per-
feet dryness. This precaution is nee
essary from the circumstance that even
a trace of moisture might on the appli-
cation of molten metal occasion dan
gcrous explosion. In the case of the
casting now in question, the drying of
the mold occupies some weeks. On
the removal from the kiln the mold is
buried in dry earth below the floor of
the foundry, only the aperture for re-
ceiving the metal and the vent-hole for
the escape of air remaining visible.

A Gosling Gets an Overdose of Snake.

Blount county can bear witness to a
snake story, which if not quite so unrea-
sonable as that ofthe Morristown Gazette,
isequalin novelty by being literally true,
as given by eye-witnessesw whose veracity
cannot be doubted. DIR. B. A. Morton,
of Maryville, was called to visit a pa
tient few miles from town, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. John F. Cupp, perhaps
Mr.. Cupp himself. A short distance
from the house he noticed place where
there had been pond of water, but the
drought had dried out the water until
it was thick, marshy mud, and in this
place there was gosling, grown up to
near the dimensions of full-grown
goose, but with few, if any, feathers.
He noticed a few inches of WI at he
thought to be snakes tail hanging
from the gosling's bill, while the young
goose took sitting posture, and APP
peared as if greatly exhausted DR..
Morton passed on to see his parent,
after which he related the circumstances
to those present, when all went out to
witness the strange phenomenon. Ar
irving at the place they found the Cos
lin as DIR. Morton had described with
the snakes tail still dangling from his
bill. Taking hold of the gosling, and,
placing his foot on the snakes tail, it
was with considerable effort that the
Doctor extricated the reptile from the
stomach and throat of the young goose,
much to the Joy of the latter, while the
other was entirely dead. The snake was
of the species commonly known as the
black racer, and was about four feet in
length. Whether they had been engaged
in a combat or not cannot be told, but the
appearance around ON the mud and
ground for some feet around them in
dicated that there had been a struggle
between them, and that the gosling had
been victorious by smothering his
enemy in his throat and stomach, which
came near costing him his own life by
choking. (Ienn.) Chronicle.

Lynching Affair at Wathena, Kan.

Hall Grubb committed gross out.
rage on a woman at Wathena, Kan.,
recently, and was committed to Jail al
Troy, in charge of constable snd two
guards. The wagon containing the
prisoner was followed by an excited
crowd of men and women, on foot, on
horseback, and in wagons, the former
armed with guns and revolvers, and the
latter carrying ropes and demanding re-
venge. When about one mile from
Wathena, Grubb sprang from the wagon
and attempted to escape, but was I'M
mediately riddled with bullets and in.
stantly killed. One of the crowd fol-
lowing the wagon, named Mcpherson,
received one of the shots fred by the
mob, and was MORALLY wounded. A
woman riding toward Wathena, and moi
connected with the mob, was thrown
from horse and perhaps fatally hurt.
