RETIRED LIFE,
The Lodge of Hermit Discovered i'm the
Mountains of PENNSYLVANIA


Mountains of Pennsylvania
The Wilkesbarre (Pa) Daily Record
gives an account of the discovery of a
recluse on the mountain, about five
miles from that city. A party of sports
men were making their way through a
dense wood, Thursday, in search of
game, when their attention was attracted
to campfire, but not a person was in
sight, and the camp had evidently been
abandoned. Near the fire was heap of
brush, and closer examination revealed
the form of man lying underneath,
wrapped in a blanket. He appeared an
gEy at beng disturbed in his lonely re-
treat, but soon became communicative.
and consented to tell them howhe came to
take up his abode in the wilderness. He
was 80 years of age, ratherprepossessing
IN appearance, and comfortably clad. He
would not diyulge his name, but said
he was native of South Carolina, and
with his father and two brothers had
fought in the rebellion, all OF them be-
ing killed except himself. He had
travelled rough the country for several
months past, and, being unable to find
employment, had decided to spend the
winter III the woods rather than become
a beggar. He had plenty of clothing,
and said he was subsisting on crackers
and dry beef, at about - cents day.

The old story.

Last Thursday morning South Mem
phis was the scene Of a scandal which
came near resulting in a tragedy. A
citizen residing not far from the MisSis-
sippi and Tennessee railroad depot be-
came firmly convinced that his better
half was acting indiscreetly with a man
who had been connected with the ma
chine shops of the railroad, and watch
ing the parties, he caught them aagrante
delicto. Like Don Alfonso, who discov-
cred Don Juan and Donna Julia in just
such an amour, the South Memphian
swore terribly, and drawing his trusty
six-shooter, fred at the destroyer Of his
domestic happiness as he, the destroyer,
was beating a rapid retreat. The
ball from the weapon grazed
the neck, ear and cheek Of the destroyer
and left a furrow upon each, but passed
on doing 40 further damage. The fHgi-
tive reached the Mississippi and Tennes-
see railroad depot, out of breath and
badly frightened, and after packing up
his " duds left Immediately for parts
unknown. The scandal was talked Of
all over the city yesterday, and while it
does not rival the Beecher. Tilton affair,
yet it has its peculiar and interesting
features, developing a story of a corfding
husband, a deceptive wife, and a de-
stroyer Of domestic peace who ruined the
happiness Of an Eden of South Memphis,
We withhold the names Of the parties
for sobvieus reasons, not desiring TO
scatter the scandal far and wide, although
the names of the dramatis persona
we're freely mentioned by the public last
evening. Our sensational reporter was
stopped and interviewed by fourteen
male bipeds last night, and they made
vigorous efforts to probe into the inner
most recesses of his mind in order to
learn something Of the sensation, and
strange as it may appear, ten OF the
inquisitors we're married men, who seem
10 have qnite as much curiosity as 10
such nameless matters as their unin'
itiated and more rural unmarried
brothers. But such is social life in
Memphis.

thereafter as they may receive other
sums. either from the Tax Collector or
as bond purchasers, as hereinafter pro-
vided, they shall invest the same in the
purchase Of a bond or the bonds of the
city not yet matared at the lowest price
for which they can be purchased for the
account of the sinking fund etc.
The bill shows that large amounts have
thus beer illegally appropriated, and the
petitioners pray for an injunction re-
straining and enjoining the sinking fund
commissioners from expanding any
amount of the sinking fund now in their
hands in the purchase of any bonds Of
the city not yet due or uiatured. Chan
