the principle hotels are full and often tray

Much of the travel is on its way to the

from the East for nothing else it could be
gotten plentifully for mining. Millions of
dollars are said to have been sent here
There are about seventy liquor establish

forty cents for half pint of Whiskey or

sixty cents per one hundred pounds.
Among the residents here is Nj. Samuel

The atmosphere here is so thin that an
object ten miles off seems distant only
mile or two, and to me the Rocky noun

four or five.

The Washington Post" shows the folly
Of Nj. Blaine's position on the question Of
Southern representa- ton: by citing the
case OF Massachusetts, that will have ten
Republicans and only one Democratic
Representative in the lower house of Con-
gress. The POST thinks that something
ought to be done with Massachusetts. for
thus DISTINGUISHING Democrats. 1t says:
tLet US fit Mr.. Blaine's logic to a North
ern State--say the State of Massachusetts
and see if its representation in Congress
ought lot to be reduced. Almost half of
her voters are DemOc. ats, and therefore,
according to Mr.. Blaine, half her del ga
ton in the House should be OF that poiltl-
cal faith, because on account Ut these
Democrats the number of representatives
allowed tile State is about double what 1t
would otherwise be. But how do We find
have one and the Republicans ten repre-
sentatlves AT the November election
there were 1876, l16 votes cast for Repunli-
CAN candidatesfUr CungreSsmen, and III ,l57
for their opponents; but Mr.. Morse Is the
only man WAC will appear for this OPPOSE,
ton in t,le ueXt House. Can MI. Blaine
heai this, anu not be wrought up to a Su
blime pnch OF righteous Indignation ?
Can he witEess such wholesale disfran
cuisemrut, and Mt detect therein viola
tOn Of ANY Of the amendments Here
We find ID GIL Republican voters electing
Consressna.l. while it requires III ,557
Democrats and GIeenbachers to do tue
same thing. Wnat is the use OF free gov
ernment if tilis inequality is to 60 on yer
after year? How many seats i'll the House
shall Massachusetts Le deprived Of for sup
pressing the D, mncratic vote?"

A Preachers Elopement.

HOW HE RAN OFF WITH HIS SWEET
HEART. AND WHAT SCARED HIM.
A Cincinnati telegram says that John
Oliver, young preacher Of Bedford, Ky,
eloped with Miss Emma Abbott, school
mistress of that place, Friday, and there
by hangs tale more thrilling than those
found in romance. Miss Abbott comes of
a first-class family. Her fat er objected to
preacher divers suit, and the two lovers
arranged to elope. He engaged horses
and rode to the school-house where she
Was teaching. She dismissed school till
Monday, mounted a horse and rode off
with him. They hadn't gone far before
they discovered the old man and two big
brothers were pursuing. They spurred up,
but ''papa" pressed SO hard that the lovers
finally took to the fields and rode sixteen
miles through hogmires and woods. knock
ing down fences and swimming streams
till they reached the railroad station.
Arriving at Louisville, Miss Abbott
stumbled against her uncle, Judge Abbott,
OF that city, which scared the runaways so
badly that they took the next train Tor
Cincinnati, arriving there next morning,
A new difficulty was now in the wav.
Oliver found he could not get marriage
license without swearig that the lady was
resident of Ohio-just as all Kentucky
runaway bridegrooms do, but being
preacher his conscience tripred him up
The unhappy couple wandered down Vine
street, when they noticed the Emma Alb
bot opera posters. Unacquainted with
theatrical affairs, they Thought the posters
were offers of reward for the capture of
Miss Abbott, the runaway. Another
panic ensued, and they took hack to the
depot, and thence the first train to Law
renceburg. Ind, where they were married |
They left that evening for home-Oliver
resolved to be in Bedford Sunday in
time TO fill his pulpit. and she to open her |
school on Monday morning.

Mr.. John Ford, as an engineer at League

the early part of June to proceed to his ac-
customed duties. While his wife Was pre-
pairing breakfast Spitz dog which had been
pet in the family turned on two little
chlldrel, OF Mr.. Ford's, aged respectively
eight and ten years, inflictiDg slight
wound On each.
MI. Ford attempted to seize the animal.
and III the effort the animal bit him ON his
right hand, between the thumb and index
finger. The wound, although slight one,
excited his fear. He Immediately killed
The dog. and then FASTENED TO DR.. H. G.

and finally pronounced cured.

Tuesday morning the patient was able

water, but could rot take any ice. Later
in the morning his skin became so sensi-

was unable TO sit by an open window.

From the time he was conducted to his
house he rapidly grew worse, the spasms
following each other in quick succession.
SO sensitive was he to the air that even
the slight current put in motion by per-
sons passing near him wrupg from the
doomed man pitiful cries OF agony, and
the sight Of any shining substances, such
| as tlnware, provoked the most violent
spasms. These became so frequent and
severe that even the efforts of five strong

from harming himself a others, and it
became necessary to bind him down to the

Inside History of the LAST Valley Railroad
Negotiatlons

A gOOd deal of curiosity has been felt by
those interested in the Valley railroad, to
know low the recent negotiations at Bal
W. A. Anderson, Of ockbridge; VIM. Key
ser, of tie B. Il o. r. r., and Henry Du-
vail, Of BaltimOre-the committee empOw-
cred by the stockholders to lease the rail
road, and Gen. Wickham, of the Chesa-
peake u Ohio R. r., came to fall through.
There is statement published in the Lex
ington "Gazette'' evidently furnished by
one of the committee from the Valley
which gives the required information from
their stand point:
There is not single paper in Baltimore
which has given fair report OF these pro-
ceedings. This leasing committee was ap-
pointed with full powers to make PROPOSE
lions and to close contract for the lease
of the Valley Railroad. The Valley mem
bers of the committee did propose to lease
the road to the G. & O. Co.. on the terms
unanimously endorsed aud authorized by
the stockholders of the Valley Railroad
Co. Gen. Wickham, Vice-President Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad gave every
assurance that he would accept the prop
OoirlOA chuu give dnplC oCCullty tOl GllC
payment of the rent. Leaning from the
repi esentative OF the b. & o. Co., on the
committee that lease to the g. Il .. Co.,
would be satisfactory to him, and that
both the Baltimore members of the COM
mittee desired Gen. Wickham to meet the
committee in Baltimore, Gen. Wickham
was invited to meet tue committee in that
city. Gen. Wickham went to Baltimore
at the invitation of the committee, and
then there was this further quibbling.
The Baltimore representatives on the
leasing Committee insisted upon the previ-
Gus demand that proposition Should be
made by the Chesapeake Il OHIO Company
| and refused to accept the offer of Gen.
Wickham to close contract on the very
terms proposed by the Valley R. r. Co.
| Gen. Wickham maintained the position he
had always held: that he would not make
proposition, but he agreed in writing to
do what was much better; that is; he
agreed, subject cf course to che approval
of his Board of Directors, to accept con-
tracs for the lease of the road on the very
! terms proposed in the resolutions adopted
| by the Valley r. R. stockholders uIani-
| mously.
