"He who fights and runs away,
Will live to fight another day"

1
Will live to fight another day"
So quietly he speIt his Sabbath and the
succeeding day in the beautiful woods
around Gum swamp" no doubt enlivened
by the music Of the birds and the sweet
perfumes Of the violet and honeysuckle.
On Monday night from these quiet re.
cesses he venturcd out, and took refuge in
one of the houses upon the plantation Of
Mr.. Il. W. Lang, occupied by one Of his
hands In the meantime the news of what
had occurred rapidly spread, and upon all
sides his rapid fight, with all of its lndi-
crOus surroundings, were known. A few
of the darkies had determined TO keep up
the fun, and as Frank was lodging at every
rustic that reached his troubled ear. he
was in fine mood to be easily decoyed.
So. while quietly drawing from his pipe
all of the pleasure that this life now afford
ed him, and sitting with his legs crossed in
front of the fire, one of his quondam
friends, negro, rushed in and said, "Mr.
A.. armed white men are at the front gate
looking for you" Frank, with all Of the
velocity that n Paris pigeon ever had,
darted through the back door; and as he
passed out two guns fired directly at him.
Neither gun, however, contained shot. and
it was only meant as scare by the Offend
ing parties So close however was one og
the guns. that the wadding was blown into
Franks neck, and he was also dreadfuly
burned with powder. This would be fun
almost ended fatally, and indeed are both
aggrieved and oppressors fortunate that it
did not. Frank could not see no fun"
however in this and took out n warrant for
both parties. The case was argued before
Justice DePass Mr. Clark representing the
state, and Judge Leitner the defendants.
The Justice gave his verdict rs guilty and
sentenced the prisoners to 80 days in Jail
or fifteen dollars fne-a light sentence in
deed. ELEPHANT HILL"

The Shadow Of an ASS.

In ancient Greece they had a prOverb
that ran thus: 4" To dispute on the
shadow of an ass" This took rise from
an anecdote which DemOsthenes is said
to have related to the Athenians to
excite their attention during his defense
of a criminal which was being but mat
tentiveIy listened to. A traveller" he
said. " "Cnce went from Athens to MegaTa
on a hired ass. 1t happened to be at the
time of the dog days, at noon. He was
much exposed to the unmitigated heat
of the sun, and not finding 80 much as
bush under which to take shelter, he
bethought himself to descend from the
ass and seat himself under its shadow.
The owner of the donkey, who &C
lug to him that when he let the animal
in the bargain. The dispute at last
grew 80 warm that it got to blows, and
finally gave rise to an action at law" d"
After having said-sO much, Denosthenes
continued the defense of his client; but
his auditors, whose curiosity he had
pidued, were anxious TO know how the
Judges decided on 50 singular a case.
Upon this the crater commended severely y
on their childish I'M ustice in devouring
with attention paltry story about an
ass shadow, while they turned a deaf
ear to a cause in which the life of a
human being was involved. From that
| day when q man showed a preference for
discussing small and contemplate sub
/ iects TO great and important ones, ne wa
said to dispute on the shadow Of an
| ass."

raised at the congress with the consent of
France and within the limits she prescribes.
Russia has intimated her desire that
the congress meet on the 30th of March, the
22nd anniversary of the signature of the
treaty Of Paris, The Austrian government
firmly anticipates that the congress will
assemble on that day,
e A Vienna correspondent says that
Russia does not contest the right of congress
to decide what clauses of the treaty involve
European interests. England demands that
the congress shall have power to discuss all
the clauses. Neither power seems disposed
to give way, and thus, unless compromise
is arranged, fresh difficulties, and not formal
ones merely, msF afiss, Causing delay, if
nothing worse. Italy and Germany, while
asserting the principle of the admission of
Greece to the congress, think congress
should formally decide the matter. Austria
comedies, but is willing to have the matter
decided before the meeting, if the question
Of the admission of the vassal states is not
thereby prejudiced.

THE NEW WHISKY PUNCH.
No More Knocking Down" by Rar


No More - KHOeHinE Down" by Bar
leaders
The compounders OF cocktails at the
Continental have been kept busy during
the past week explaining the use of a
neat looking black walnut case in the
center of the bar, with little silver circles
containing the figures 10, Is, 30, 25, 80,
40, 80, IS, 100 and 200, below each of
which is a small drawer. This drawer
contains pastebOard cards, with the num-
ber corresponding to the circle above.
When a customer calls for a glass of ale
the ten cent drawer is pulled out and
card with that amount is handed to the
imbiber, who passes over the cash
and the ticket, both of which are
deposited in the cash drawer. Mean
while the action of opening the drawer
caused a similar card to drop into a
locked receptacle below, the key of which
is in possession of the prOprietors of the
motel. When the cash account is made
up In the morning, the amount of money
in the cash drawer must equal the total
amount of tickets in the "punch" re-
ceptacle. The machine is very Ingenious
in its workings and is an effectual pre-
Yentive against bar-tenders s'knOckiDg
down." One of the genial manipulators
of glasses remarked yesterday : "This
thing beats the Virginia and street car
bell punches, and, !" laughingly, ''it also
beats the bartender, as there is no
knocking down with this new-iangled
thing. One thing, it stops the profes.
siOnals who come in for their morning
cocktail, and take us to one side to mys-
teriously whisper, put it down on the
slate, I'll pay another time All
we have to do IS to point to the
machine. That stops that business, you
know 4 number of amusing instances
have occurred since the register has been
in use. A traveller called few nights
ago, and while partaking OF his drink l
pulled the fifteen-cent drawer, when he
shouted, Don't ring for porter; don't
want to go to bed yet Another asked
where the cashiers desk was alter re-
ceiviDg his bit of paste board, Il also
saves us a vast amount of trouble with
impecunious young men about town,
who have been in the habit of requ6 sting
credit. They know if the cash is not
[ forthcoming after receiving a drink we
are held responsible for the amount. 1t
will register SIS high as you wish from
I ten cents up, nothing below that figure
as there are no fve-cent drinks sold

THERE are sixteen directors Of a.

THERE are sixteen directors of the
bank of France. Nobody can be a di-
rector unless he owns twenty-five shares
of the bank. Now, as each share is
worth 5000, each director must have $25.-
900 invested in the bank the Great ma
jority of the directors have two or three
times this amount in bank shares.
The Rothschilds, Holtinguers and Saw
are among the largest shareholders, and
as they bought their shares when shey
were worth only $400 or $500 each, their
dividends on the money invested are an
enormous per centum. Only the two
hundred largest shareholders are allowed
20 be present and vote at the annual
meeting of shareholders, it being assumed
that the interests of all the shareholders
would be securer in their hands than if
every holder of s. share had a voice in
the bank management. These two
hundred shareholders consist of eighty
nine persons who own one hundred and
one shares and upward; thirty-oDe per-
sons who own one hundred shares, and
eighty shareholders who own above sixty
shares.
