The next night, just before the
scene was to be enacted which we had
planned, stole down under the stage
and unbolted trap on the spot where
l intended Smithers should stand.
In the midst of his harlequin play /
resolved to push him on this pitfall,
that he might precipitate himself
down and break his limbs or neck.
Cautiously | stole back again, and
our interlude commenced. After al
lowing him to quiver and wrlggle in
his spangles while | shook my baton
over him, / placed my hand to his
chest and pushed him on the snare
He did not fall To my amazement
the trap held.
Unsuspectingly Smithers then repos-
sessed himselfof the wand and pushed
me back. With a sudden gasp and
cry | suddenly felt myself plunging
down in the dark, striking my elbow
and chin on the edge of the open trap.
L lay there under the stage with a
broken leg and fractured ribs. / had
unbolted the wrong trap and fallen
into my own snare.
The audience, as l heard afterwards,
clapped and laughed, ascribing my
disappearance to a coneocted part of

Tom Pudson, however, did not give
up Mary-first, because Mary declined
to be given up; and secondly, because
George Smithers, alias Signor Tomato,
gave her up first. The harlequin was
a gay spark, who soon tired of fancy,
and a new face drove Mary out of his
heart So Mary returned to more
constant attachment, and Tom mar
ried her, made clean breast of it to
George and received his pardon. They
are now doing very well, for though
Pudson's career as a clown is spoiled,
he has taken to singing with his wife
in the music halls, and prospers COM

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TUESDAY,. 2, 1875.
THE WRONG TRAP.

In the vicinity of the Drury Lane
Theatre stands hosterly which boasts
the curious sign of the "City of Lush
ington.u The house is great resort
for actors and for those genial owners
of open hearts and straitened pockets
who glory in belonging to the Order
of Antedeluvean Buffaloes. The chief
room of the inn is the meeting-room
of the Buffaloes. 1t is divided into
"wards,u so called, and these divis-
ions have lugubrious titles-Poverty
Ward, Insanity Ward, Suicide Ward.
A moral underlies this labelling of the
evils which follow the abuse of good
liquor.
One evening in October two come
dians met under the shadow of the In
sanity Ward at the "City of Lushing-
TONI They were artists of a very
humble stamp. pantomimists who
picked up living in strolling fash
ion during the Summer, and whose
harvest time is Christmas, and the
months of January and February.
One was harlequin yclept Smithers,
but preferred to be called on the bills
Signor Tomato. The other postured
as clown; his name was Pudson, and
he too had nom de theatre, calling
himself Pittle Pud.
To the latter parsonage smoking in
gloomy solitude-for the usually we'll
fitted room of the 'City of Lushing-
TONI was that night empty-entered
Mr.. Smithers. The old colleagues
greeted each other warmly, foT they
had shared in the frolics of many a
harlequinade.
"And how has luck gone with you?"
asked Pudson, after some talk to-
gether.
"Fairly for the time of year." an
swered the harlequin, "I have taken
a ballet troupe on tour through the
second-rate towns and done pretty
welln -
''I have been lucky and unlncky by
shifts and starts-doing a bit here
and there at the circuses and taking a
turn now and then at the music halls.
That pays best of all. | have a good
mind to cut pantomime and go in for
that entirely"
"Not just yet, anyway. You are
engaged for the Forum, aren't you"
asked the harlequin.
.NoI YET, out eApee1 W oe, io-
piled the clown.
''I am, and so is my little woman"
"Confound itp' calculated Pudson;
III hoped to get Mary in there"
"But Lora has got it. She's to be
Columbine.n
''Is that your girl ?'
"That's mine; Lora with o, not your
common aa.n
"Oh," said the clown, reflectively,
"Hightalian, Ipresume"
"She passes for Hightalian, but she
is English. She's billed as Lora Lo-
rini.u
The two friends shook hands and
parted as the getty of Lushington y
began to receive an incursion of its
usual frequenters.

The Russellville Democrat., 1875-11-18

The Louisville Courier-J Journal, Henry Watterson's paper, says.- "Let not the republicans fancy that the result is an indorsement of their administration or the ac- ceptanse of their policy. Their thievery and misrule have yet to be finally passed upon. Though the verdict in Ohio IS against Allen, it is by no means in favor of Grant. Though it announces the death of imitation it by no means encourages severe con traction. The party that indors- ed either would fall before the popular indignation. If the re- publicans are wise they will not become inflated by their victory. If they resume before they reduce the tariff, and before they make greenbacks receivable for GUS toms, they will fall, and resump- tion will soon follow imitation to the grave.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-11-18
CuriOSitieS of Life,

Lay your finger on yourspulse and know thatssevery stroke some immortal passes to his Maker; some fellow being crosses the.riyer of death, and If we think of it, we may well wonder that 1t should be so long before our turn comes. Half of all..who live dle before seventeen. Only one person in ten thousand lives to be one hun dred years old. The married live longer than the single. There is one soldier to every eight persons, and out of every thousand born only ninetytive weddings take place. If you take thousand persons who have reached seven ty years, there are of clergymen, orators and public speakers, forty three; soldiers, thirty-two; law yers, twenty-nine; professors, twenty seven; doctors, twenty four.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-11-18
Fall Flowing.

The time is drawing near when fall blowing should be done. We believe it is a good time to plow, and would begin with sward land, that on which we propose to put field crops next year. We prefer to turn over sward land early in the fall, for it is in better 'condi- tion generally in the spring than that which is just turned over In the early fall there is generally plenty of time for such, while in the spring all is hurry. Much will be turned under in the au- tumn that will decay and add to the fertility of the soil. The frosts and rains will act upon the soil so turned up, and if it be a clay soil, will do much to render it light and friablc. Later in the fall, and just before the ground freezes up, we would advise the blowing of all the old garden land, both to turn under what may be on it's surface, and to turn up the noxious insects that they may be destroyed by freezing. It is ob- jected that the soil, if plowed, will be likely to be blown off in winter. It is true that sometimes, when the ground is bare and dry, the wind will blow off some of the soil but it will do it to some ex- tent on lands not recently plowed. The loss in this way is small, how ever, and not equal to what is often turned under when the land is plowed. We think that most farmers do more or less fall blow ing, and believe in it more than formerly. This work should be done. We believe in pretty deep blowing, add in going a little deeper each year, until the land is worked and made rich to a good depth.
The Russellville Democrat., 1875-11-18

privileges, but the man is made by having self denial and sprinkling of hardship enter his life. Trlals beget character, and work is tho parent of strength. Farmers sons need not deplore their lot and look with wistful eyes at the wonderful advantages and easy times of their city broth CTS, for a glance at statistics will show that their chances of sue cess are many per cent. higher than those of the most favored of city boys. It is not intended to urge the country boys to follow the vocation of their fathers if they have talent for trade or me chanics or the professions; far from it; the best advice is let them follow their natural inclinations; but never feel because you are a farmers son and must needs work hard and exercise self-denial and fairly work your common school education on, that you are down trodden and abused. These trials are your advantages and will make sterling men of you if you only make the most of your op- uortunities.
