A Highwaynlan's Career.

William Hill, q patient IN q privat,

weeks ago. Many years ago there livet
in Iredell county, North Carolina, a re
lspected Presbyterian minister named Cur
Try, the pride Of whose life was an only
son, Nixon by name, in whose training
the good man took peculiar delight. The
young man won the affections Of young
girl attending the same school. and 80 ar
dent was their attachment that no rival
was suffered to come between them
When the girl reached tine age of Is hel
devotion to young Curry became SO mani
fest that her parents, wishing to secure
'or her what they viewed as better alli
ance, forbade further intercourse between
the two AZ natural consequence
clandestine meetings were resorted to, and
continued for three years. At the ex?lra-
ton of that period, the hand Of the young
LAZY was sought by the son OF one OF oul
Southern statesmen, and her parents tried
to compel her acceptance, whereat she
|eloped with young Curry. The couple
were overtsken. Then the young man
turned and shot his rival, who led the
pursuit, killing him instantly. The
couple then renewed their fight. After .
long and heated chase, Curry took refuge
with his betrothed in the Allegheny
Mountains, near the headwaters Of the
Cstawba, and there, outlawed from socie
ty. he became highwayman, and speedi
ly achieved q drealed notoriety by the
number and character of his daring ex-
ploits. The Governor of NortL Carolina
offered 5000 for his arresr, and many,
lured by the tempting offer, tried to hunt
him down. Suddenly he was missed
from North Carolina. It vas supposed
that he had died, or that he had changed

A Bear story from Florida.

The Tallahassee Sentinel gives this
story OF d citizen of that place, who has
been in Wakulla County, Fla, on a
hunting expedition for o few weeks:
Early In the morning this gentleman
started out from camp to procure water
from one OF the many springs In that
section, and, after proceeding short
distance, came to one located In Sc
cluded spot and surrounded by dense
foliage. Pushing his way through the
underground he reached the spring,
and, feeling thirsty, threw himself upon
the ground and commenced drinking.
Suddenly he was startled by rustling
Of the leaves and the swapping OF twigs
near by, and presently huge bear
made his appearance. Quietly raising
his head, our friend, not daring to move,
and not being armed, kept his position,
and waited to see what turn affairs
would take. His bearship slowly ap-
preached the water within three feet ol
our friend, and, alter eyeing him few
moments, proceeded to drink. Our
friend began to feel more easy on no.
ticing the bear so good natured, and,
wishing to become better acquainted,
reached out his hand and gently tapped
him on his nose. The bear, not seeming
to be in quarrelsome mood, shifted his
hand, looked at him moment, aud then,
wagging his stumpy tail, walked of.

A Lawyer Saves Two Cents.

following local incident: sOn damp,
dark evening last week an attorney OF
the west side chased a Superior street
car about two blocks before he sue
ceeded in boarding 1t. He pushed his
way through crowd OF passengers to
the front, where there stood three or
four persons Of his acquaintance intent
on .defraying the expenses Incident to
riding. Diving down deep into his
pocket he brought 70, the surface $40
bill and threo-cent piece. sNow, l do
not wish to break a bill for five cents,'
he remarked to his companions; this
three-cent piece is dirty and greasy, and
the driver will not know but that it is o
silver half dime,' so he dropped 1t into
the box. The driver looked at it a
moment, and evidently thinking the
man had returned to specie payment, let
it pass through the trap at the bottom OF
the box. srhere,' said he of the law, a
happy smile illuminating his counte-

his way to the door and jumped out con-

A Case of Petit Larceny.

The N. Y. Times, In the course of a
solemn editorial ON the subject of young
brides and old husbands, gives the fol-
lowing incident to point moral anu
adorn tale. AT most, however, the
stealing of an eighty.year-old husband
could only amount to petit larceny iii
any case.
Speaking Of the ''incident" in ques-
tion, the Times says:-
The bride, In question, while yet a
blooming and energetic widow, met
with an elderly genLlel IN OF eighty

spite. OF the opposition of his family, she
convinced him that 1t was his. duty to
marry the trusting and ingenious
woman who had lavished upon him her
priceless and experienced affections.
No sooner was the marriage ceremony
ended than the happy bride directed her
husband to run back to his house and
bring his bonds and mortgages, SO that
they might begin to enjoy o. happy honey
moon. The husband went, but as soon
as he had entered his house he was
seizedby his relatives and safely locked
up.. HeAhad made Will In their favor,
and they had no intention OF allowing ii
to be uninade by new and unweleome
wife. His prolonged absence disturbed
the bride, who sent a carriage to hasten
his return; but The carriage came back
empty, and the drivers mind was too
much confused by strong language,
broken crockery and pals of water to
explain the reason why his presentation
of a written order to .sdeliver to bearer
one az elderly bridegroom had given
rise 70 so much vigorous discussion,
The bride at once comprehended the
true state OF affairs. She armed hers ELF
with pistol aud a stout lrishman and
stornled her husbands prison. Tile bat
tie was short but fierce. From his re-
mote dungeoa, the imprisoned husband
could bo heard cheering OH the assail-
ants, but thereFwere too many bolts on
the front door, too many determined
maiden sisters. and too much available
