a HoRRIBLE SToRY-A recent
number of the Athens, Tennessee, Po"
relates a story in reference to man
name Jones of Smoky mountains, who
for some years past has been doing an
illicit business in whiskey manufactur-
ing. He had been from place to place
until finally he located securely in
mountain recess four miles from his resi-
dence, visiting his family once tort
night. Overstayiug the time of his pc
riodcal visit his wife, with some OF his
neighbors, visited the secret locality OF
his distillery On reaching the building
the door was found bolted, and no sign
of Jones or any one could be seen. But
upon attempting to toFse an entrance
they were greeted with those peculiar
notes of warning which the ear OF the
East Tennessee mountaineer never 1alis
10 recognize. The Jcor was at once bro
ken down, and a sight met them that
caused all to start with fright and hor-
ror. The form OF the distiller lay upon
the floor, with eyes startling from their
sockets, the features horribly distorted,
and body swollen twice its usual proper
tons, while TIE whole interior OF the
building was alive with rattlesnakes,
some in coil and ready for battle, but
the larger portion stupid and inert, as
though they had been imbibing liberal
" of the illicit fruit of the still. As 1t
was impossible to rescue the body OF
Jones without incerring fearfu! risk, 1t
was determined TO reclose the entrance
and other apertures, and fire the build
mo. which was done.

TUE MUrABILTTY Cg RAILROADS.
The following article, which we copy
from the Cumberland NcUs, shows the
mutabiity of even old established lines
of railroads. An instance in point is the
main stem of the same road from Point
of Rocks 70 the Relay House. Now,
few years ago, who would ever have
thought that that line Of road would
ever be Abandoned by all except a train
for local travel and for ight trains !
Yet such is the fact, and is it not posi-
BILE that Cumberland may some day be
left out in the cold; especially when
eleven miles of travel can be saved
The NeWs says;
A correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette, writing from Romney, West
Virginia, reviyes public interest in the
old project of a "cut-otf" by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad from Green
Spring Run 70 New Creek. As shown
by the correspondent eieuen miles of
distance could thus be saved, as from
Green Spring Run to New Creek uia
Cumberland it is thirty-six miles, while
across the country it is but twenty five
miles.
This proposed cut off is not new
thing. 1t has been talked Of for years.
it is likely that the attention which the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has paid
to the Romney Narrow-Gauge Railroad
may have had something to do with the
project. The narrow-gauge runs direct,
iv on the line of the proposed cutoff
shout half the distance. The bed OF the
narrow guage could readily be used for
a wider track A saving to the Baltl-
more and Ohio Company of eleven miles
of hauling would bs a large item in the
course of q year,

SHEPHERDT0WN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY,
HINTS TO THE GIRLS.

An old stager who has been through
the mill, gives the following parental
advice to the girls
Take lessons on the piano, and learn
to paint and sing, bet let your mother
do the washing.
Do worsted work, and make nice little
neckties for the heatben, but don't ac-
quire that mystic art to cook ''pork and
beans
Go to boarding-sohool and pursue
some French. Spanish and German, but
neglect your good old mother English.
Flatly deny the soft impeachment
that you are engaged. Treat your
young sprig precisely as if you were
ashamed of him. 1t is complimentary
anyhow, to the young sprig
When you laugh, laugh hearty. Your
gold filings may be seen. 1t is card
for the dentist
Tell people who are posted, and con-
sequently know better, that You are
exactly nineteen last or next summer,
you forget which. They'll believe it,
you know.
Say naughty things of your rival and
next door neighbor, and speak dispar-
agingly OF Miss KS nose, But entirely
overlook. your own incongrultles.
By all means "tote" nice little dog
after you OH the street. There is a
chance of you being taken for some one
else, while it speaks volumes-tor the
dog.
Walk four abreast, and keep the cen
tre of the sidewalk, but never for mo-
ment allow yourself to be disconnected.
1t shows consideration for the happiness
Of others.
Finally, quit beng girls, but marry
some old bald headed buffer, with lots
of ''tin," and ruthlessly thrust aside
man of brains with becoming compe-
tency.

STRIKE oP CANAL BoArMEN-The
Cumberland Daily Times of Tuesday
last SAYS:
We were informed last evening that
the boatmen of the G. d 0. Canal at
this place had struck for an increase of
pay over the rate at present given by
the companies for the transportation OF
coal from this point to Georgetown and
Alexandria. From all that we can learn
the facts are thase: The companies had
been paying: one dollar and thirty-fve
cents per ton from Cumberland to
Georgetown,a and one dollar and forty
cents TO Alexandria We have it from
one source,t that thuse rates obtained
among what is called line boats but
that other boals outside would come in
and for the sake Of obtaining load
would agee to transport the coal at a
reduced price per ton and, the system Of
reduction was continued which of
course involved the other boats until
the rates were diminished from the price
given above to the rates Of one dollar
and twenty oeuts and one dollar and
twenty five cents % Georgetown and
Alexandria respectively. At this point
the boatmen struck, as they allege the
figures being unremuneetive and insu-
fficient altogether The feeling which
prevailed among them in consideration
of the reduced rates did not assume the
proportion of strike until yesterday,
a; which time the boatmen took deci
ded stand, and not only refused to load
their own boats but positively forbade
the loading of any other.
LArER-The Times OF Thursday says,
The strike among the boatmeu still eon-
tinues at the basin wharf. [ p the river:
business has been to some extent resum-
ed The BorGon Company has acceded
to the demand made and resumed work
The boatmen from the Shriver basin
wharf held a meeting yesterday, which
is fully reported elsewhere. The utmost
quiet and order has prevailed, the boat
men evinciug much good judgement in
the Management of the strike. and as
we can see, good feelingexists all around

A YANKEE TmcK-A story is told
by Spanish paper which shows that
Brother Jonathan is more than match
for the Spanish asthorities. Tho report
is that an American skipper, Captain
.Jobu Jefferson, Of the London, on ar
riving In the Bay OF Biscay. sent tclc-
gram from Bilbao to the Spanish Cover
ment, to the effect that the United
states had orderd cruiser TO see that no
American ships landed arms for tho
Carlist. Mar hal S,rdno Immediately
wrote letter of thanks to Minister OF
the sister republic, who replied that no
knew nothing OF tho cruiser in question.
However, before the matter could be
inquired into, Cap. John Jefferson had
accomplished his purpose, and while
playing the part Of the United States
vessel of war alluded TO in the telegram,
he had, under the nose Of the Spanish
feet, landed twenty seven guns, dc,
for the Carists. After this the London
quietly left the port Of Bermoo, aud
vanished in the horizon.
