Miss DUER AT HoME.-The New
York HeralPs correspondent at Snow
Hill, Maryland, telegraphs as follows /:
"Miss Lille Duer, who was released from
imprisonment Friday, arrived at POGO,
moke City that evening, and was received
with demonstrations OF joy by her friends,
who called upon her at her fathers house.
In taking leave of gentleman who
drove her home from Snow Hill, and who
had expressed a polite wish to see her
again whenever she visited that town,
she said: Il never want to see Snow
Hill again; I am done with courts and
pistols forever 1t will be remembered
that the pistol with which she shot Ella
Hearn was bought in Snow Hill. AS soon
as Judge Wilson passed sentence upon
the prisoner, her lawyers entered into
recognizance for the fine, and her friends
passed paper around for subscriptions
to help the father pay the money, his
slender means having been exhausted by
the expenses of the trial. Two hun
dred dollars was raised in Snow Hill and
vicinity in few hours, and the remain
der will be subscribed in Pocomoke."

A WARNING TO CoTToN PLANTERS
1t may be we'll for planters to remem.
Der that if they are in position to hold
their crop during the months of Septem-
ber, October and November, they have
absolute control of the market, and it
may happen that all this gambling which
has been going on may result in high
prices and profitable markets. If the
gold men have really turned their atten-
ton to cotton speculation, as seems to be
evident, the only substantial thing about
the whole business will be the cool and
conservative farmer who is able to hold
his cotton until such time as may be to
his interests to place it upon the market.
The spectators may have the power to
run the price of the staple down or to
raise it up, and it may happen that their
madness may sometimes affect the inter
ests of the producer unfavorably, but
their influence is only temporary, and, in
any event, it is not often the case that
the planters suffer when the market is
active. Fortunate for them if they have
so arranged their affairs as to be able to
watch the antics of the spectators with
indifference until the figures offered JUS
tify them in turning their crop loose
among the wild gamblers of Wall street
Atlanta Constitution.

The BLUE AND THE GRAY.-Two of
the illicit distillers tried ct this term of
the United States Court were soldiers in
the war. One, Joe Lewis by name, a
noted moonshiner of North Carolina, was
in the Confederate army; the other,
Henry Wildner of this county, was a
Union soldier. While in prison await
ing trial, they INDUCED in many politi-
cal discussions over the unpleasant
ness" Colonel John G. Summers was
employed as counsel in both cases.
When the sentences were being passed,
Wildner requested the Colonel TO call
the attention of the Judge to the fact
that he had been a true and faithful
Union soldier, which was done. The
Judge replied that "for that reason he
should have been better citizen" and
sentenced him to the Penitentiary for
one year. Lewis, the more notorious OF
the two, got off with one month in
Jail. Turning to Lewis, Wildner said,
II don't see why he sent me to the Pen
itentiary and not you" "That was be-
cause you was id Yankee, replied
Lewis, "and he oughter hung you fort"
All around joined in good laugh. -A6-

A ROMANCE OF THE NORTHWEST
Eleven years ago, the daughter of W.B.
Wallace.-a little girl of seven years
was abducted from her fathers house, in
Portland, Oregon. Wallace searched
high and low for her, and though he
felt certain that her mother from whom
he was separated, had taken her, there
was no clew as to her whereabouts. One
day recently the father was surprised to
receive dainty, perfumed missive, ad.
dressed in a neat hand. He was still
more surprised when the words "My
dearest father" met his eye. He read
through his tears that his Lillian was
living with her mother at Yakima, and
that She had determined to reconcile her
parents or to live frst with the one and
then with the other. She said her moth
er put her in the Sisters school at Van.
couver, and that she had been educated
there. Wallace remembered that he had
been policeman at Vancouver during
q part of the time mentioned by his
daughter, and had. passed a thousand
timis I'M Ter the shadow of the school.
He hastened to Yakima, and it was
agreed that there should be reconcilia-
ton. Miss Lillian is a handsome young
lady of eighteen now, and the part she
played in the romance makes her the
heroine of Portland andof the far North

Mr.. Slick was as good as his word.
He went into q millinery store next fore

and with the idea in his mind that every
bonnet in the store was priced at exactly

bonnet that pleased him, and pointing
his cane at it and calling up his deepest
voice, he inquired:
"Are you asking S12 for that bonnetw w

THE TEXAS GOVERNOR REQUESTED TO
REsIGN.-An indignation meeting of
over 1000 citizens was held at Houston,
Texas, June 20, to denounce Governor
Roberts for committing the death senten-
ces of the murderer Coward and the rap
ist Fields. The crowd was addressed by
several gentlemen, when resolutions were
read by F. A. Small expressing utter con-
tempt for Governor Roberts, denouncing
him as the alder and shielder of murder
ers and assassins, asserting that he had
deceived and lost the confidence of the
people, and ending by demanding that
Governor Roberts, if he has any manhood
left, resign a position he has disgraced
by prostituting it to the aid and comfort
of murderers and assassins. The resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted. Three
groans were given for Governor Roberts,
whose name was hissed and hooted
whenever mentioned.

No TIME.-No time to mend your
dress, but when the little hole catches
on nail and becomes great rent, then
you will have to and mend, it will be an
hours work, while five minutes would be
enough for a little hole. No time to pull
up the weed, but when your garden is
full of weeds you will find that you must
exterminate them, and will toll in
the sun for a whole day. No time to
teach that little child of yours, to give it
habits of neatness, and show it what is
right and what is wrong. No time! Ah,
but you will have enough in after years
to bewail your forgetfulness of that little
immortal soul entrusted to your keeping.
We all have time for twenty things day
which we do not do, busy as we may
think ourselves.

The New York public are indig-
nant at what they call a trick played on
the Legislature by the milkmen. A bill
was passed which pretends to be a meas
ure to prevent adulteration of milk, but
which contains an obscure little clause
providing that it shall be unlawful to add
anything to milk except ice to preserve
it in transportation. A similar bill was
passed twice before-once under Gov.
Dix's and once under Gov. Tilden's ad-
ministration, and on each occasion vetoed.
1t gives an absolute license to adultera-
ton without limit, for under it the milk
men may dilute their milk to any extent
by adding water, in the shape of ice.

How Two YANKEES BEHAVED AT
VERsAILLEs.-Louis Blanc told the fol-
lowing in recent conference at Troyes
One day 1 arrived at Versailles before
the opening of the session. An usher
informed me that two persons wished to
see me. saw the visitors. They were
two Americans of the purest Yankee
type, who represented themselves to me
as unknown friends. They had read my
books, they said, and wished particular
ly to see me. I thanked them, and then,
thinking that they probably wished to
attend session, / offered them seats
'No," they said; "all we want is to
see the chamber where the sessions arc
held"
conducted them thither. As soon as
they had entered, without even casting
q rapid glance around to take in the ap-
pearance of the chamber, they asked:
"Could you show US N. Gambetta's
seat?"
Much surprised at this curiosity I nev-
ertheless acceded to the desire of my
Yankees, and pointed out to them the
place where NJ. Gambetta, who had not
yet become the President of the Cham
ber, habitually sat. Thereupon the two
Americans, one after the other, coolly,
sedately, methodically, with closed lips,
serious air and fixed looks, like men en-
gagged in performing a grave duty and
one demanding precision, sat down on
the chair, rose and sat down again, one
after the other, as if they were testing
the frmness of the seat. Stupefed, 1
watched the scene, striving to under
stand this singular manner of visiting
the Chamber Of Deputies, when one of
the Yankees asked me:
an. Louis Blanc, will you have the
goodness to show US your seat, also?"
Curious to watch their conduct at my
seat, led them to it. Without opening
their lips, they went through the identi-
cal performance, rising and reseating
themselves, each one in his turn, like two
gymnasts repeating an exercise.
When it was over, each drew from his
pocket memorandum book, snd wrote ::
"Chamber of Deputies, Versailles. Sat
in the chairs of the Honorable Messrs.
Gambetta ana Louis Blanc, Deputies"

DIR. G.. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
SYMPTOMS of a DiseasedLiver

DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged,
