The chestnut crop is reported
large this fall, and broken legs and
heads will doubtless be prolific,
but for all this, chestnuts are a
good fruit, and the pleasure of
gathering them, though attended
with some risk to life and limb, is
real hearty and genuine. To climb
the huge old tree, grey with the
moss of a century, with its out
spreading arms filed with the
opening burrs, and to club the
chestnuts off with one hand while
you hold on for dear life with the
other, and to hear the brown nuts
fattling like hail among the leaves
below, is real, jolly fun. To the
youngster who Is too timid to
climb, or has not been initiated
into the mysteries OF "shinning"
it up the naked trunk of the tree,
there is real pleasure in searching
among the leaves for the chestnuts.
1t seems little strange though
that the boy who could not stop
his back to pick potatoes a couple
of weeks ago, can now spend a
whole day in the woods with a
short stick in one hand, as he
picks up chestnuts with the other,
all the while with his back hump
ed up like the broken legged
camel we saw with the circus u
short time ago, and yet he never
srys word about his back aching.
We have thought over this con-
siderably and yet have never been
able to ascertain the cause of it. AS
we have already remarked chest
nuts are well worth the trouble
attendant upon gathering them
Boiled chestnuts are a dish which
kings might sigh for, and chest.
nuts that lay in the garnet until
Christmas are sweet and tooth
some.

Newsboys are proverbially sharp,
but we regret to say that some of
them allow their sharpness to
run into rascality. There is
one who travels on the st. Louis
Express on the B. & o. r. r. who
has habit of selling to unsuspect-
ing purchasers Baltimore papers
two, or three days old, when the
purchaser pays for and thinks he is
getting a late paper, and is unde-
ceived only when he walks offand
fixes himself in a comfortable posi-
ton to read the news. When he
discovers the swindle the train has
moved off and the swindler Is out
of reach. The scamp is sharp
enough to practice his fraud on
persons only who do not remain on
the trains with him. Persons who
are in the habit of buying papers
from this young gamin should be
careful to examine the date before
paying for it, if they do not wish
to be disappointed whenthey come
to read the news.

FALSE REFINEMENT

Inc gentleman whose domestic
troubles have for several weeks
monopolized the newspapers OF
the American continent, was in
the habit, we are informed, Of buy
ing more pictures than he could
well afford to buy. He was also 4
prolific writer OF verses of the sub
jective sort, putting the most pre-.
cious emotions. into items" and
.seights" with uncommon fecun-
dity, and many Of these are now
reproduced, and are read was pre-
sumo, with tender interest. 1t Is
startling fact that almost every
body engaged directly or Indirect
~ in these ill-smelling transact
ions had what is usually consider
eel a fine taste either for music or
pictures statuary or poetry, or
what you will The hero of the
tragi-comedy, we are told by his
unhappy wife, couldn't eat with
any relish the plain roast and
broiled of the home kitchen and
at frequent intervals of the story
we catch glimses of him taking
his meals in first class restaurants;
and dropping his tears into expen-
sive ragouts. Whenever he wish
ed to unb0som himself, and he
wished 1t very often, it was his
custom to invite his confidant to
dine with him. We can imagine
MIN in his most indignant mood
stabbing the potatoes a la Sid
dons or saying things calculated
to drive any sensitive waiter into
a frenzy. He was also an amateur
OF female beauty, so that the short
statue of the wife of his bosom
sometimes made his life a madness
and a mockery. We lay no stress
upon his fondness for being pho
tographed, for that is the epidemic
weakness Of the age but we do
say that it would have been more
| wholesome for him il he mad not
thought himself physically beat
tiful--and more wholesome per-
haps for some others.
But 1t Is not our wish to be per-
sonal; and We have ventured to
be slightly SO only to illustrate. ~
What we want to point out is thas
a very fine tas may be quite con-
sistent with substantially coarse
nature, just as connoisseur may
collect fifty pictures of the nativi-
ty or the Crucifixion, and not be a
particularly good christian after
all. We have known exquisite
musicians whose whole natures
were saturated with indecency.--
We have met with first rate paint
ers ofideal or heroic subjects who
were altogether ofthe earth earthly
I'VE have NETT actors who played
Hamlet charmingly, and whose
tax was redolent of moral garlic
We have been acquainted with
verse makers, and good ones,
whose only hippocrene was gin or
beer. These, we confess, are NOR
tifying admissions, for ii we were
firms engaged in the business, ena
ploying 1861 operatives, with
$40, 1888, 877 invested as capital, dis
bursting $3,722, 1888 in wages anne-
ally, and turning out products OF
the annual value Of $l9,894, S74

DEATH OF UNCLE JOHN HAIR
PER.


John Harper, SIR, familiarity
known as "Uncle John Harper,n
the well known OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
raiser and distinguished turfinan,
died at his residence in Woodford
county last Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock, and was buried on
Thursday afternoon in the family
burial ground on the farm where
he resided. In accordance with
his request, made known during
his illness, which was protracted
he was buried with, ut religious
ceremony or other formality.
There were, however, present at
his interment forty or fifty of his
neighbors, who assembled to pay
respect to the memory of their old
friend, The Diseased was in his
nth or 18th year, and had for the
last two years been quite feeble in
health, though he did not relin-
quish his attendance on the turf,
or his attention to his race horses,
until comrelled to take to his bed
in his last illness.
He was of a plain frugal family
of Pennsylvania Dutch origin,
though long settled in Kentucky
in the locality in which he died,
near Spring Station, in Woodford
county, twelve miles east from
this city. He was one of five chill
dren, only one of whom, a broth
err, ever married. Another broth
er, Adam, was killed in 1864, by a
band of guerrillas, who visited his
house for plumber. His brother
Jacob and sister Elizabeth were,
on the 18th of September, 1871,
murdered in their beds by parties
still unknown. The unmarried
brothers and maiden sister had
amassed a large property by frui
gality in forming and rearing race
horses. This they held in COM
mon, and all of it became the prop
erty of John Harper, as the sur
vivor.
We learn that he leaves, by will
the homestead, including six hun
dred acres of thegfinest blue grass
and in kentucky, together with
all his race horses including Long
fellow to his nephew, known as
Little Frank Harper"
The deceased has for more than
thirty years been identified with
the turf of Kentucky, being re-
markable for his good judg ment,
as well as his skill in the collection
and training of racers. Though fa-
miliar TO Kentucky turfmen for SO
many years ii was not until he
took LongfelIow to the East in
1871 that he achieved a National
reputation as a turfman, Since
the retirement Of Longfellow he
has remained at home, prosecu.
ting his business, and was rarely
seen away from home except when
attending the races at Lexing--
ton "

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Eds. Independent:

Eds. Independent:
/, for one, am heartily cory that
there is cause for discord and bick-
ering over the action of the School
Board, or whatever you may term
them, those who employ teachers
/ have no interest in any one
teacher. except that they be per-
sons of good moral character, and
competent to perform their duties.
As a taxpayer and a parent who
desires his children educated and
therefore a well-wisher Of the
Public Schools, i have very deep
interest i'm everything that will
advance the cause of education
This discussion, fear, will cause
trouble and bad feeling among the
friends of the teachers, and conse-
quently become an issue in the
next election.
/ suppose the Board acted
thoughtlessly, or they wonld at
once have seen the IMPROPERLY
of making any distinction between
the teachers, and especially in
adopting q course which necessar
lily shows that the salaries were
tLimmed in order to accommodate
an increase. This is very unfor-
tunate, but as it cannot now be
helped, would it not be better for
those who feel that injustice has
been done, to at least give the
Board the credit of doing many
other bold and creditable acts,
and of acting without any
evil intent in this act. They ire
friends OF the schools, and though
a little undue friendship may seem
to be exhibited, let il not be the
cause of working farther mischief.
Ii the board had ii to go over a
with the present information
whilst even they might think 9TH
erwise; they would sec the neces-
Lsity Of treating aTlalike. Let them
fix rate of forty dollars for first
grade assistants and thirty-Hve for
second, and show no distinction
hereafter. For success, let there
be peace.
A FRIEND.

We understand that Messrs. Jas.
b. Small & Co., are doing a thriv-
ing business with their cattle pens
at the Cumberland Valley railroad
depot. They will soon have pens
enough to accommodate at one
time a thousand head of cattle, and
will probably establish regular
auction days, so that farmers can
drive their cattle in for sale, and
net be put to the necessity Of seek
ing foreign market.

The Third Annual Fair of Berke-
ley county, will be held at Mar
tinsburg on the 8th, 9th, 10th and
18th days of September. In addi-
ton TO the stock the most improv-
ed agricultural implements and
the many useful and novel articles
that will be on exhibition, each
day will be crowded with iterest-
ing, novel and exciting scenes
The previous Fairs have been SO
successful and SO satisfactory to all
visitors, that we have no doubt the
effort that is being made by its
managers to present superior at
fractions, will induce persons liv-
ing far and near to visit it daily.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
will carry passengers at half the
usual rates, and every train will
stop at all local stations between
Harpers Ferry and Cumberland
each way. The Cumberland Val
ley Railroad will carry passengers
at half rates, and will probably
make the Fair the occasion for one
or more jolly excursions SO that all
the people between MartiDsburg
and Harrisburg will have an OPP
portunity for days holiday and
a days sightseeing. Neither ex-
pense or labor will be spared to
make this Fair success and eff
forts of that character deserve the
patronage of every person.

We recently noticed in the
Wheeling hatelHgencer some COL
respondence from New Creek, in
which the writer charged our fell
low citizen, Hon. G. j. Faulkner,
with endorsing the lynching of
Talifero. AS Mr.. Faulkner is a
gentleman of great experience as a
law maker, and possesses great
ability as lawyer, it would be
well for the people to know if the

We have received numerous
complaints from bers
in different parts of the county
that the Weekly INDDPEN.
DENT, of week before last
containing the account of the
lynching of Talifero did not reach
them. We are confident that the
papers were sent promptly, and
that the blame does not in any way
attach to this Office. We are try
ing to sift the matter.
