The Portsmouth Tribune had a rather mean
article last week about some rutfians who had |
q fuss on the cars between Jackson and r. |
wins The Tribune talks about Jackson coun- |
tv roughs We inquired of Conductor Jones,
who is acquainted with nearly everybody IN
Jackson county, but he did not know them.
We never justify mean conduct, even when
Jackson county people are concerned; but IL
these roughs were any rougher than the fel-
lows on the train at Scioto Furnace, who
smoked swore, and threatened to fight in the
car among women and children, then we have
no more to say.
We strongly suspect that the Tribune's roughs
were Scioto county Algertnes.
Dr. j. b. johnson informs us of terrible ac-
cident which occurred in Franklin township,
about two miles south of town, on Monday al
ternoon Earl Branscomb went down to work
in q well, on the farm of his father-in-laW,
George Stifer. The well was about thirty 1eet
Deep Mr.. Branscomb was overcome by gas in
the well, when Mr.. Stiffler went down and fas-
tened q rope around him, and Luke Garrett,
who had got there, commenced pulling Brans
comb up Mr.. Stifller attempted to CLIMB out
but fell back. Frank Stifller, son of George
then went down and fastenened a rope aroun'
his father, when he, too, was overcome. Al
three were finally pulled up out of the well, ap
parentIy dead. Branscomb and Frank Stltne
revived, but George Stif1ier was dead.
Mr., Stiffler was one aEiong our most worth
citizens, and his sudden and unexpected oeat
is a shock to the people in his neighborhood'

such a location with nothing to do, and,
as he thought, be fumbled about his coat
pockets. While dong SO he discovered
four pins which be had stuck in the lin
ing of one of his frock tails in case he
might require one. He held the four for
some moments. then flung them right and
left about the narrow cell. It was quiet
one; but, listen with all the intensity he
could, there was no way of knowing
where they had fallen he therefore
went down on all fours and carefully felt
about, sprawling in every direction until
he had recovered them for another ex-
citing hunt. Well, readers, this he did
six and seven times day, and when he
was sleepless, for six long years. Napol-
con III. died, then Victor Emanuel, and
the count was set at liberty. The four
pins were kept. And comtesse is to
wear the brooch they are enshrined in.
This story only teaches that all must take
an interest in life, and the most exciting
the best under the pressure of grief. Tie
comte has related that had he lost one of
his four pins he could not have endured
captivity. Each time he flung them
about he fancied they were quite lost,
and the ardor with which he crawied
over his nude floor was the equal to that
of the chase. Books, papers and pens
| were denied him.

How to Cook a Husband.

The first thing to be done is to catch
him. Having done so, the mode Of cook
ing him so as to make good dish is as
follows: Many good husbands are spoiled
in cooking. Some women keep them con-
stantly in hot water, while others freeze
them with conjugal coldness: some
smother them with hatred and contention,
and still others keep them in pickle all
their lives. These women always serve
them up with tongue sauce. Now it is
not supposed that husban is will be tender
and good if treated in this way; but they
are on the contrary, very delicious when
managed as follows: Get large jar,
called the jar of carefulness (Which all
good housewives have on handy, place
your husband in it, and set him near the
fire of conjugal love; let the fire be pretty
hot, especially let it be clear: above all,
lie: the heat be constant, cover him over
with affection and subsection; garnisn
him with spices of pleasantly, and if you
add kisses and other CONNECTIONS, let them
be accompanied with sufficient portion
of secrecy, mixed with prudence and
moderation.--7oledoB Blade. --

Better Than Gold.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles q thousand fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for another's woe,
And share its Joy with a genial glow;
With sympathes large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold ii conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble
sphere,
Doubly blessed wi III content and health,
Untried by the lust or the cares of wealth;
Lowly living and lpftly thought,
Adorn and ennoble a poor mans cot;
For mind and morIlls, in natures plan,
Are the genuine te It's of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Of the sons of toll hen their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that ,lrops on his slumber deep,
Bring sleepy draug hts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillo KS its aching head,
But he his simple plate deems
shorter route to jhe land OF dreams.
Better than gold is u thinking mind,
That in the realm If books can find
A treasure surpass ne Australian ore,
And live with the treat and good of yore;
The sage's lore an the poets lay,
The glories of emf ire pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold,
And weld pleast re better than gold
Better than gold ! a peaceful home,
When all the fires de characters come;
The shrine of love the heaven OF life,
Hallowed by mot Ter, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sor ow by heavens decree,
The blessings til It never We're bought mol
sold,
And center there are better than gold.

Pen Picturers OF Travellers.

Bob Burdette, the pungent paragraph
er of the Burlington Haukeye, has been
travelling good deal by rail lately, and
he supplies lis paper with the following
amusing pictures of some people he met
on the cars:
FINDING \ SEAT.
A woman with three bird cages and s
little girl, has Just got on the train. She,
arrangeo the three bird cages on seat,
and then she and the little girl stand up
in the aisle and she glares around upon
the ungallant men who remain glued to
their seats and look dreamily out of the
window. l bend my face down to the
tablet and write furiously, for feel her
eyes fastened upon me. Somehow or
other, am always the victim in cases of
this delicate nature. just as l expected.
She speaks, fastening her commanding
gaze upon me.
''Sir, would it be asking too Euch if I
begged you to let myself and my little
girl have that seat2 A gentleman can
always find seat so much more easily
than lady"
And she smiled. Not the charmingest
kind of a smile. 1t was too triumphant
to be very pleasing. OF course sulren-
dered. l said:
"Oh. certainly. could find another
seat without any trouble
She thanked me, and crawled out Of
my comfortable seat, and gathered up
my overcoat, manuscript, my shawl strap
package, my valise, my overshocs. and
she and the little girl went into the va
cant premises as soon as the writ of eject
ment had been served, and they looked
happy and comfortable.
Then I stepped across the aisle: I took
up those bird cages and set them along
on top of the coal box, and set down in
the seat thus vacated. alphabetically
remarked to the woman, who was gazing
at me with an expression that BODIED
trouble, that sit was too much warmer
for the canaries by the stove" She
didn't say anything, but she gave me a
look that made it much warmer tor me,
for about five minutes. than the stove can
make it for the canaries. I don't believe
she likes me, and I am uncomfortably
confident that she disapproves ofmy con-
duct.

Story Of a Brooch.

great art and set with gems. 1t is divided
in four parts, and shows four twisted,
bent and blunt ordinary pins under a
transparent enamel. Where were these
four found2 What were they used for?
Did they hold fichu, shawl or flower?
The poetry of the brooch had to be look
ed into, and the following has been as.

ago, hurried one night out of bed and
arrested for a political ofense. Ere his

Before him, white and rigid as corpse in
the spectral glare of her lamp, stood Guleyaz,
with her fingers pressed warningly to her
lips. In silence she held out to him the tunic
and gandy trrLan Of an Afghan warrior, sig
nifying to him to put them on.
He obeyed mechanically, like one in a
dream, and the moment the disguise was
complete she led him hastily to the door.
Outstreached on the floor outside lay the

was still in the castle, Guleyaz went straight
to the end Of the passage and opened small
iron door, locking it behind her as soon as
they had entered.
What followed Herbert could never cl Arly
recall~ He had only a vague recollection Of
tracking the gloomy windings of disma
cavern, from whose damp, oozy sides the wa

nal silence +
One of these drops extinguished the lamp,
but uuleyaz's burning hand seized his own
in the darkness, and led him onward he knew
not whittier.
At length, after a seemingly endless inter
val, another door flew open before them, and
st. Clair. with delight which no words can
convey, felt the cool night air on his cheek,
and saw the stars shining overhead.
There lies yourroad," said his guide, point
ing down tho valley. ''The armies of your
people cannot be far off now. May Allah
keep you safe till you reach them"
"And you?" asked Herbert, with sudden
impulse of tenderness, as the tremor Of her
voice told him she was weeping. "They will
know that it is you who have saved me. and
them -
"Who cares what happens to me? ?" answered
the girl, psssionately. when the dew that
refreshed i Is gone, what matter how soon the
flOwerA 4sshers I have saved your life-I care
not how soon lose my own"
"Never, by heavenv' cried St. Clair, throw.
ing his strong arm around her, as if his

and leave my little eve lamb to these noun

may be called coward before the whole regi
ment, if anything but death ever parts us two

Years later, the story of that flight sorely
tried the faith of the guests at Clairmoun
park; but still harder did they find it to recog
nize the savage amazon of Cabul in the beau
