made while he was in the discharge Of his
duties at the Custom House, which stands,
as Sherman thinks, on the ground or un-
der the sole Jurisdiction OF the United
States, by cession from Louisiana. He was
hurried to prison, and required to give ex-
cessive bail. The cause of this resentment
against Anderson and his associates is that
in the performance of their duty, in plain
pursuance Of the law and upon ample testi-
mony. they eliminated from the election
returns In Louisiana because of violence
and intimidation. Though this was not
alleged in the information, yet everybody
knew that this was the gravemen of their
ofense, and without it no man on this Jury
would have convicted Anderson. 1t is this
that excited this population. heated with
passion. to the highest state OF resent
ment.

The travelling public should understand

conductors to take up passes and collect

lie Came Back.

Gov. Duval, OF Florida, was the son of
a poor Virginian, a stern, strong, tact
turn man. The boy was a huge youth
of fifteen. At the cabin fire, at bed time,
according to the custom of putting on a
back log, the old man aaid, between the
whihs of his silent pipe:
"Tab, go out and bring in that gum
back log, and put it on the iireY
Tab went out and surveyed the log.
lie knew it was of no use explaining that
it was too heavy, nor prudent for him to
return without having it OF his shoulder.
His little sister passing, was not surprised
that he requested her to. bring out
the gun and powderhorn, as a pos
sum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear
signs. She brought the gun and Tab
started. He found the way through the
woods into Kentucky, in 1871. After
an absence Of eigteen years he was elected
to congress. A man of immense size and
strength, he started for Washington, 60
ing by the way of his old home, to see
the folks who had long since given him
up for dead. Entering the little cabin
door near bed time, he saw the identical
gum log lie shouldered it, pulled the
latch string and with his load stood be-
fore the old man, pipe In mouth, as
quiet as usual.
"Here is the gum back log, father"
"Well you've been a long time getting
it--put it on the fire and go to bed"

Earth from BOrne0.

In the last century a merchant vessel
came into London docks with yellow
fever, and the captain was suffering
severely from it, and no n would go
near the sufferers, DR.. Fothergill, how
ever, went on board partly out OF com
passion and partly from his desire to
study Il disease which was new to him
and he took the captain to his own house
and finally succeeded in getting him
through the fever. When the captain
recovered he inquired from the doctor
what he was in his debt, but F~othergllI
refused to receive any payment, Inc
captain then wished to know how he
could compensate him for such kindness,
upon which the doctor replied that there
was one thing he could do for him II he

would bring him back two barrels full OF

reached the spot on his voyage out, he
thought of the ridicule he must cx'
p]erienCe from his crew in 70 strange an
undertaking and his heart smote him,
and he sailed through the straits without
fulfilling his intention. On his return
by the same route the same thing
happened again through his fear OF the

in Washington, Pennsylvania, recently
invented an oscillatory washing machine
The elementary idea was hardly formula

that he can do it, for during his busy
career he has not only illustrted the YER
