Cowhided in Open yourt.

At Oweusboro yesterday morning,
while Judge Scott was presiding in
open court, a handsomely dressed
young girl of twenty, named Anna
G. Darbie, entered and stood leaning
against the rail of the bar, scanning
the crowd present. A few moments
later, Ed, Boone, a well-known young
man of the county, entered the room.
Miss Darbie stepped forward, meet

A Point of Difference.

The old adage that birds of a
feather flock together, if applied to
the Christian element at Clifford,
Bartholomew county, would not hold
good. Rev. G. Fl. Cation, formerly a
Campbellite minister of this city, at
tended Methodist prayer meeting
at that place. The interest and en-
thusiasm in the cause was wildly
shown by all who took part in the
exercises. Brother Cation was ap-
pealed to to lead in prayer, and dur
ing his fervent appeal TO Merciful
Being he referred to baptism as ne
cessity, it being the only sure method
of salvation. This was too much for
one of the Methodist preachers, who
unceremoniously demanded Brother
Cation TO sit down and keep his mouth
shut, which demand was gracefully
complied with.-Indianapolis SEN

Was 1t a Volcano T?

Recent intelligence seems to con-
firm our theory of submarine vol
cano off the coast of Florida, by
whose recent eruptions countless
numbers OF fish have not only been
killed, but the business of market
fishing, upon which so many of the
coast jewellers depend for a liveli-
hood, put stop to altogether. The
drift Of pumice stone along the
shore of the gulf would seem to be
almost conclusive in itself. That
these eruptions are intermittent, as
in other known volcanoes, is proven
by the data pertaining to similar &C.
currences twenty-five years ago in
the same locality. Inyersely, that
there have been intermittent phe-
nomena of precisely the same char
acter proves the absolute fact Of vol
canic eruption.-Forest and Stream.

THE ART OF GOING AWAY.
The Importance of Being Able to
Get Out Of a Room Gracefully.

1t has been said that one of the
most important social accomplish
ments is that of entering a room
gracefully, but to our mind that of
leaving one easily and judiciously is
to be preferred. 1t Is painful to see
people anxious to beat retreat from
a call or a visit, and yet apparently
as unable to escape as rats in a trap,
although nothing bars their egress,
ane all persons concerned would
gladly dispense with their company.
The art or science of departure, both
from localities and positions, is worth
studying in great as we'll as little
matters. To understand when to
bring to an end morning call or a
public career requires, in lesser or
greater degree, the exercise ola like
faculty. No visitor is likely to be
popular who has not the tao, to leave
at the proper time house at which
he may be staying. One of the
greatest difficulties in bidding fare
well to a host is to convey to him
the impression that you have en-
ioyed yourself. A hospitable man
likes to know that his friends have
been happy, but when each Of them
mutters sort of little grace on bis
departure, he feels that they are but
paying him an ordinary social COM
pliment, for he knows that they
thank their entertainers whenever
they go as regularly as they tip the
servants. Indeed we once heard of
an absent minded and nervous man
who, as he as getting into the car
rage which was to convey him TO
the station. inadvertently tipped his
host and thanked the butler for his
pleasant visit.

Nick Bottom REPRODUCED.

There was born, about three weeks
ago, eleven miles west of this place,
a child which has the ear of mule.
The parents live in small village
named Centerville, and the fathers
name is Samuel Speck, man of
about thirty years of age. The child
is a male, three weeks old, and
weighed at the time of its birth nine
pounds. The head is well developed,
and has a profusion of hair. The
eyes are perfectly natural, but in
front of the right ear small, slim
ear, about three quarters Of an inch
in length. and resembling somewhat
that of mule, is attached.-Millers-

THE PARIS DOG MARKET.
Where All Kinds Of People TO to
Buy All Kinds Of Dogs.

Paris has no quarter into which Ia
dies might not penetrate with I'M
punity. At the dog market, held
every Monday, near the Barrierre
81. Jacques, old ladies are to be
seen in great numbers, bargaining
for pets stolen from England. A
system of free exchange Is said to go
on between French and English dog
fanciers. so that valuable quadru-
neds filched on one side Of the Chan
mel are speedily shipped to the other.
ANYHOW, it IL noticeable that many
of the pugs, King Charleses, ter
r.ers and Havanas sold at the mar
ket are such well-mannered little
dogs that they must have received
their education elsewhere than In
the back yards of frowsy shops.
The fashion in dogs varies, and it is
rather surprising to see how quickly
the demand for any special breed is
met by lavish supply. A few
wears ago we were told that the
race Of pugs were dying out; but
some great ladies took to cultlvating
pugs, and 10! all the markets
swarrned with black-nosed little
monsters. Yellow, wiTy English
terriers are now the rage in Paris,

bull on the Blatchly farm, Avon

man died from the effects Of her in

Home Life of a Giant Pair.

Mr.. Bates, the giant, with his
giant wife, lives in house
near Seville, 10 this State, which is a
good deal like other peoples houses,
only that it is great deal larger.
One is struck with the unusual size
of doors, windows and shutters.
The house is thirty feet wide by
nlnety-six feet deep, built in plain
style of architecture, but nicely
finished and painted. 1t was finished
about three years ago, and Captain
Bates ard his wife have lived in it
during the winters since, while during
the summers they have been on tours
of exhibition throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Bates will not go in the
show field the coming summer, and
will remain on his farm near the
town, cultivating it and assuming the
avocation of plain, honest farmer.
He is considered farmer par excel
lence among his neighbors, as no
doubt he should be, as he was born
and raised in perhaps the finest farm
ing region in the country-Central
Kentucky. A few weeks ago the
wife of Captain Bates gave birth to
a child, the second since her mar
rage with her present husband, and
in both instances the child died. II
the last child had grown up to ma
turity we would have beheld being
beside which we would be nothing

weighed twenty-five pounds; its
