An Odd Genius.

A queer genius lives at East Burke-a
man who probably has not spoken to
another man directly for the past twenty
five years. He will talk with woman
or a minor, but never with man; even
his own sons, as they arrive at 21 years
of age, are talked to no longer. When
he can do no better he will talk to the
stove, or a horse, or whatever else hap
pens to be near, and say: cold horse,
you tell Mr.. Smith I want to buy his
farm" Mr.. Smith can speak for him
self, but will only get an answer as he
hears it addressed to the cold horse. %
This eccentric individual will allow no
man to sit on his right hand; he will
sooner stand up or leave, and has often
stood up through church services when
he could find no seat without man at
his right hand. He speaks in meetings,
and is quite an earnest, interesting
speaker. Burlington (Vt.) Free Press.

eProninent Citizens of California;

The city of Los Angeles has been agi-
tated over rencontre in the County
Court room between Judge Thompson
and Col. E. J. G. Kewen, two promi-
nent attorneys. The fight was over the
guardianship of the infant child of the
late T. JEFF. White and the administra-
ton of his property. Col. Kewen and
wife have been applicants for the trust
as against Mrs. Greene, the grand
mother of the infant. The evidence was
of very personal nature, and in court
yesterday Col. Kewen shook his finger
in Judge Thompson's face and told him
he would hold him personally RESPONSE
BILE if he dragged his family into the
suit. This morning Col. Kewen ap-
peared in court, struck Judge Thompson
in the face, and the latter knocked him
down. Nose Thompson, son of Judge
Thompson, was about administering kick
to Kewen, when Perry, son of the lat
ter, interfered, and a cfinch ensued,
which was stopped by the Sheriff. The
Judge ordered the court suspended and
told the Sheriff to remove the parties.
A short time afterward, the court being
in session, Col. Kewen reappeared within
the bar, drew cowhide and attempted
to apply it to Judge Thompson, but IN
der Sheriff Rowan caught him and ar
rested him. At the door of the court
room young man named Mccoy said
that Col. Kewen was a coward, and Per-
ry Kewen attacked him, but bystanders
interferea and separated them. A few
moments after Perry Kewen attacked
Frank Thompson, another son of Judge
Thompson, strikingh him with cane. The
latter drew a revolver, but friends
stopped the row. Kewen then gave up
his cane, Thompson his revolver, and a
fist fight ensued, Perry Kewen being
knocked down. The war is temporarily
ended, but all the parties are prominent
citizens, and it is feared the affair may
result seriously. The row is much re-
GREETED here, and the court was adjourned

Poisoned by an Ailantus Tree.

A case Of alleged poisoning by the
ailantus tree has been reported to the
New Haven Board of Health. The VIC
tim is girl of 20, who claims to have
been poisoned while lying on lounge
near an open window and looking at the
tree, distant some four yards. The
eruptions nearly closed one eye and COW
cred one side of her face and body.
This side was uppermost. The side she
was lying on was not affected. Regu-
larry, every time the tree flowers, she
breaks out and sometimes the eruption
takes place when the leaves are shooting.
The odor of the tree is not stronger
than usual. The patient is not feverish
and has no increased pulsation. Her
temper is not affected, and she has a
good appetite. The irritation is only on
the surface, and she has no other symp-
tom of poisoning.

New Engineering Device.

A peculiar work has been completed
by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany to make new outlet from the canal
to the Potomac. The elevation to be
overcome is forty feet, which under the
old system would require eight locks and
nearly an hours time for the passage.
The new arrangement is the employment
of a large caisson, or tank, filed with
water, into which the boat is foated, when
the caisson. with it's load of water and
boat, is run down the incline on rails in
less than six minutes. The weight of the
loaded caisson is about $50 tons. The
first expense of constructing locks, and
the constant expense Of operating them
and keeping them in repair, are saved,
as well as the time. -R0iJaUay ReUieaU.

The Head of the Family.

The Toledo Blade tells this story: EFF
ever the sympathy of crowd Of guests
at hotel was excited in behalf OF q
poor, oppressed man, it was night or
two ago at the Burnett House. A gen
tleman and lady from Adrian entered
the office. The man was small, light,
smooth-tongued and harmless. The
woman was large, stern and quick
poken, while her voice fell upon the ear
like the rasping notes of hoarse buck
saw. The man opened his mouth and
said:
"'We would Ii when his spouse
pushed him one side sharply and said to
the clerk:
octave you any rooms sir? If so, give
us the best you have
''The clerk immersed the pen in ink,
handed it to the husband and said, will
you please register?' The husband
seemed grateful to be allowed to exer-
else his rights as free-born American
citizen, and stepped gladly forward,
wrote the word Mr., and had entered on
the somewhat laborious contract of form
ing the letter J. as the forerunner Of the
cognomen James, when the wife again
stepped forward, took the pen which her
little husband was wrestling with out of
his hand, remarking as she did SO,
Here, I'll do that! and adding an s. to
her husbands Mr. wrote in bold hit
or-miss hand, Mrs. Malvina f.
and underneath it in small-caps the
words, and husband The clerk then
assigned them their quarters, and, as the
bell-boy led the way upstairs, the better
half jerked the family carpet-sack off the
counter and snapped out at her husband
in a tone that made him Jump so as to
dislocate his collar button: Come along
hereY He followed meekly in the rear,
and as the bell-boy came down stairs he
could hear her giving out orders in
reference to unpacking the baggage in
tone Of voice that made the hoarse notes
of ship Captain seem in comparison
like the gentle cooling Of dove. The
next morning the patient little man fol-
lowed his wife down to breakfast, ate the
meal which she ordered for him, and af-
terward, when they came to depart, he
stood in the doorway and held the valise
while his wife went up and paid the

Figures of Speech.

The conscious employment of imagery
is by no means peculiar to literary peo-
pie. It is common with every class, and
with almost everybody in every class
Familiar in the mouths of those eccentric
characters in the humber walks of life
who amuse us so much by their odd but
apt comparisons, racy of daily expert
ence, and by their quaint application of
old saws and anecdotes, it is no stranger
to the most matter-of-fact people. The
latter, indeed, have not the exuberant
invention and humor of a Weller, a
Swiveller, or Tapley, but they like to
season their talk with the SAVIOR of fancy,
which, however, they generally are
obliged to borrow, lacking mother wit of
their own. A smile or happy phrase
hits the popular taste and becomes com
mon property. We hope that a friend
will "pull through" a serious illness;
if he grow decidedly worse, we say that
he is cat deaths door," A man may be
"beyond his depth, though never in the
water, "fiighty," though never off the
ground, or not have ga leg to stand on, !"
although his limbs are sound it is his
resources, material or intellectual, that
are " crippled" Wiseacres have been
called "amazing shallow" and "the
deep" is another name for the sea.
Spendthrifts are said to be 'open hand
ed" and miser "close fsted," or
"tight as the bark of tree" The last
saying must call to mind multitude Of
comparisons which are in constant use,
such as "true as steel" straight as an
arrow" " stiff as poker" brown as a
bun, y" still as a mouse " dumb as an
oyster, merry as cricket" and 9TH
ers still more homely, smacking of hu-
NOR and belonging to slang. or on it's
confines, like "snug as bug in rug, y
"shining as nigger's face, ]" and chap
py as clam at high water, that is,
when the food tide protects him from
the spade. Proverbs. too, come to re-
ieve the dullness of plain talk. Make
hay while the sun shines, oneIswallow
does not make a summer" ga burnt
child breads the fire" and hundred
others are every day fguratively applied.

torical fables and tests do similar d1ltv
