yIRTUoUs INDIGNATION,

Miss Matte Stewart, Of WatertoWH,
New York, Is evidently an independent
lady, for, after she had written twice, ad-
dressing the widow rs Dear Friend and
Aunty, she evidently thought it about
as we'll TO bring things to crisis, for she
iudited a third cpistle to "Desr Aunt
Corneiia Stewart" in the course Of which
she says she worked 10 'uncle's' store,
and concludes by informing Aunt Cor
nelia' that, "if you don't wish to do any
thing Just write TO me and say so"
Augustus Brainard Kendall, OF Ma
CARA, County, must be a youth without
guile, for he wrote to Judge Hilton ask
ing him TO give him an explanation OF
letter he had received from one Sd. L.
Gliar, Executors Attorney" informing
him that he had been remembered in the
will for the sum of $4,000.
Mrs. 5. Logan. of Moscow, o., writes
for money to enable her and her husband
to visit the iar-off grave of son who
died a prisoner Of war at Andersonville,
Ga, ard conveys the information that ne
has "beautiiul obituary OF Mr.. ). cut
from our county seat paper"
There was the deep pail Of mystery IN
letter that came from young lady at
South jackson, Mich, who speaks OF her
mother thus:
"She was a weak humble Christian but
ALWAYS heartbroken the last thing that
she said to me was Flora l am going
home TO leave YOU Jesus is waiting to re-
ceive me and l have something to tell
YOU there is mystery hangs over you
made VOW to keep it and 1 have kept
il YOU are related TO A. 7. Stewart of
New York this is all l can tell you and
promise me that you will never disclose
this while he lives and | never have to
no one before and now will you bury this
secret in your heart YOU have an abund-
ance of this world and if you feel that
YOU have more than you know what to
do with it you will bestow something to
me it will be lending to the Lord "
Another mysterious child unearthed
itself in Wabash, ILL.,, the guardian OF
whom wrote that its mother h shown
"a letter from MIR. Stewart stating what
he was going to give the child, and that
VS.. one-tenth OF his wealth, 1t
| looks like one-tenth WAS very small
share for him, and him the only child he
ever had, but thought L would do as he
requested"
! K. S. Stewart, OF New York, evident
! ly meant business, for he wrote concern
ing his Dear dead late deceased cousin"
81 am his only male cousin, and did not
know it till saw my Bible the other
| day, in which | have record OF the
Stewart family. | am poor little Or
phan, with only oLe father and mother,
| and would like TO have about SlO,OOO to
| 90 into business with. If you do not
send it to me ia a week, | will prove who
l am, and you will wish you had sent me
| the cash"
A very sad case was that of William
| A. Stewart, of Union City Tennessee,
who wrote to the Postmaster At New
! York:
"Having tried different ways to find
out the address of the late A. 1. Stewards
, widow, | now send yOua chance to make
SO in cash if you will inform me where
her address is at. Just send me her full
name and p. o. address and | will send
you ten dollars
Here is
ANOTHER MYST ERIoUs CHILD,
/ This time from Cincir natl, the writer ad-
! dressing Mr.. Stewart, and saying:
MIR, Stewart, as | am about to leYe
this world, i wright letter to you OF a
} confession to you about your son stole
your son and put mine in his place so
nine could be raised well then | traded
your son to family by the name Of Gar
ner. 5. Garner is his name send this
letter with a friend of mine to Newark
! Ohio and to see if your son is there If he
is there my friend wright yes on the
envlip forgive me for God sake"
There is u direct bluntness in George
| Bradford, of Philadelphia, who writes:
al want 10 know II L am relation of A.
| T. Stewart. His grandiather's sister was
my mother-in-law's first wife. Send the
money at once if have any to get"
AN OASIS.
From amid this mass of begging let
tiers there can be culled few which are
free from any feeling of mendicancy, and
among the number is a straightforward
epistIe from Dan Turney, who writes
from Paris, Kentucky;
"Whie | feel confident that | am a
relstive OF your late worthy husband, and
feel proud of the connection of SO strong
minded and nobie-hearted man, pen
this to express my contempt for those,
whether relatives or pretenders, who rise
and make claims against his estate. Sure
la If A. f. Stewart was competent to
amass millions and then keep it so profit
able invested (the labor OF one hundred
mem, surely he WAS competent to dispose
of it. For men possessed such mind
and such energy and integrity. Mrs
Stewart, perhaps some day you may
travel through Kentucky; 1t is indeed
beautiful and healthy land. The Blue
Region is the finest In the world, should
YOU, be sure and take Paris in you route
and spend few days with us, and l will
take nv bloodcd Kentucky Team and
show YOU n Kcntucklans Pride, fine
horses. cattle. hemp and Blue Grass
sh W you husbands love, true AND
noble Christian wife, and a father : ador,
alton. three sweet aud good little glrls
Most respectfully and truly.
Dan TURNEY.'
