A Strange Story About Marshal
Ney.

[sedalia Mo) correspondence of the Chica-
go Times
Colonel Thoms F. Hutson, we'll
known farmer and stock dealer, who
resides near Houstoni, this county,
claims to have been pupil of Peter
Stuart Ney, one of Napoleon s great
est marshals. According to Ney's
own words, related to Colonel Hutson
when mere lad, he escaped his death
sentence by the soldiers firing over
his head. He feigned death, was
taken in charge by friends, disguised
and shipped as a sailor from Bordeaux,
France, to Charleston, S. c. In a few
years, he removed to Rowan county,
North Carolina, where he taught
school for several years, a portion of
that time boarding with Col. Hutson s
father. He foundly cherished the
hope that Napoleon's star would
again rise in splendor, and when the
information of his death reached him
he acted like a mailman, and only
through persistent efforts of friends
was prevented from committing sui
eide. He left a lengthy history writ
ten in French, which was transmitted
to the New York Historical Society
for translation, but through some neg
lect was never carried out. Col.
Hutson retains several mementoes of
his lllustrlons preceptor, among them
his Latin grammar, spectacles, pocket
knife, several verses Of original
poetry, etc.

The operatives in the factory OF
the Rubios, in Queretaro, in Mexico,
struck work because one-third of their
salary was paid in orders on a store.
The Governor appeared on the scene
and ordered the workmen to be paid
in full in the future, whereupon the
factory was closed until new hands
could be secured from the capital,
leaving more than thousand persons
without employment in Queretaro.

THERE is an Advent preacher in
Missouri named Harris who thought,
being prophet, that he ought to look
like Elijah, and be correspondingly
bald-headed, wherefore he shaved his
crown, to the deep disgust of his con-

more a deception to shave the head
than to trim the haS or in any other
way improve the personal appear
ance, but the matter being quito vote,
the Rev. Mr.. Harris was expelled
from his pulpit.

The Johannisbrod a black bread
used SO largely by the Russian army
for food, is made with a quantity of
some kind of grease, which forms a
substitute for butter. 1t can be eaten
dry, but the Russian soldier prefers,
when he can get it, to break the bread
into small pieces. These he puts into
a bowl and pours hot water over them.
the grease then develops into a gravy.
and the whole forms simple kind OF

MONTENEGRO, Black Mountain,

MoSTENEGRO, black mountain,
justi6es its name, and the people, the
bravest in Europe, 10000 strong, OF
Slav race, kindred to the Servians
and Herzegovinians, are the last of
their race who have held out against
the Turks and maintained a quasi
independence. OF late they have
paid tribute, advanced for them by
the Gar, to the Ottoman Empire,
but they have never submitted to the
Turks, their country has never been
overrun. and they have maintained
an almost incessant war with the in
fidel for four centuries. In 1884 Ivan
Tchernoievitch. the Montenegro hero
OF the day, hard pressed on all sides
and refused aid by the Venetians,
abandoned with his people the fertile
plains around and beyond scutari,
took to the rugged hill-tops, establish.
ing monastery and capital at Get
tinge, and adopted the national law
from which no Montenegro has since
swerved, that in time of war against
the Turks-they knew no other enc
my-no son Of Tsernagora could quit
the field without his chiefs orders
that runaway should be forever
disgraced and banished from his peo-
pie; that he should be dressed in
womans clothes and presented with a
distaff; and that the women, striking
him with their distafs, should hunt
the coward away from the sanctuary
of freedom
Since then the pledge has been kept.
There have been renegades and trail
tors plenty, but the people have re-
manned true and steadfast throughout.
In A. D. 1900 there were 3, 500 houses
and 5000 fighting men in Montene-
gro-a population Of 10000; in 1900
there were $4,000; in 1865, 1876, 900.
They have always been at war with
the Turks. In 17l2 they were at
tackled by, and defeated, 100000
men. This was under Prince Danilo.
The next year 10000 Turks came
against them, their total population
then being under $4,000. This time
they were driven to the rocks. but
still not overwhelmed. They were
invaded again in 1922, in 1927, in
1882, and in l76S, but Always defeated
the enemy. In 1882 they were at
war once more, with the same result,
and they have always defeated the
Turks. Some of the most heroic feats
on record are chronicled Of the Mon
tenegrins. In 1885 ten men seized,
by u coup de main, the old castle
against 5000 Turks. Such people
can never be conquered. They may
be annih lated, but never overcome.

agricultural furnace in full bast-the pillow

temper naturally warm and ardent, and loving
his native land with the devotion of true
patriot, when the first call sounded to arms he
girded on his sword and offered his services TO
his country. Hewas chosen Captain of a spcn-
did body of men, raised in this county, and left
for the scene of action. Throughout the whole
war, he showed himself to be a brave, skillful,
and chivalrous soldier, and was never known TO
talter when duty demanded his services After
the war, he married Miss Mamie Johns, of Mis-
sissippi, who still survives him.
He returned to Texas and resumed business at
Rowland. He moved to this place some four
years ago, and has controlled the branch house

How Shall the Nominations be Made?
CRAWFORD COUNTY OR CONVENTION.

MIR. EDITOR: | understand the question
in regard to which is the best mode of nom
mating candidates is again agitated in the
county. some advocate return to the old
system ON The ground that the present plan,
under which we have been operating for
some years, causes n great deal ENLIGHTENMENT
at the primary meetings, l must be very
dull of comprehension, as | am unable to dis
cover the difference in regard to the excite
ment created by voting directly for the can.
didates, or voting for delegates. In nv view
the Crawford County system has the adyan
tage OF one days less excitement than the
old plan, from the fact that after the dele.
gates are elected there is another day for
manipulation, when the convention assem-
bles.
The advocates of a return to the old plan
also tell lis there is no law to punish for
fraudulent voting at the primaries, conse.
quently the majority frequently fail to be
represented by the candidates selected. What
law is in exitence for Furnishing fraudulent
voters for delegates? do not think a return
to the old plan will rectify this evil on the
contrary we might get some frauds in the
Convention.
1t has ever been cherished principle with
the Democratic party to retain power as
near its source as possible. We therefore
should watch with u jealous eye any attempt
to complicate or remove it from its leeiti-
mate position. Let lis, then, heed the ad-
monitions OF the past, and remember il was
the political complications and transfer of
power, under the semblance of law and JUS
tice, which elevated to the highest position
the people can bestow, a man bloated with
corruption, and branded with Fraud.
