Charles stuart.

Charles Stuart delivered up the
keys and retired from the Office oi
Sheriff of Gallia county on Monday
Mr.. Stuart has served for four years,
and served well too. No Sheriff in
this county has ever done more bust
ness, and to the satisfaction of all,
and of the thousands of dollars
which have passed through his hands
not cent sticks to his fingers. He
has made hundreds of new friends,
who are close and warm. He retires
freighted with the best wishes of our
people for his future success. His
firmness and honesty are proven
bial. He has demonstrated that the
Jail of Gallia county will hold the
prisoners, for during his four years
he has had in Jail some of the worst
characters in the State, and not one
has ever escaped. We give a syn
opsis of the business transacted by
him.

Very Fine Writing.

From the London Telegraph.
There is an extraordinary form of CALI
graphic mania OF which the chief symptom
is desire to compress into the smallest
possible space the greatest number Of
words. At the exhibition opened at Dus-
seldorl q few days ago u gentleman shows
a postcard upon which is written by hand
the whole Of the first three books of the
Odyssey" while the remaining space,
such as 1t is, is filled with transcript of a
long debate which recently took place in
the German parliament, the whole con-
tanning $1,000 words. Feats of the same
kind have often, however, been achieved
before, and none, perhaps, is more remark
able than that "rare piece Of work brought
to pass by Peter Bales, an Enghshman, "
in the reign Of Elizabeth, namely, the
whole Bible written in a volume contain
ing as many leaves as tull-sized edition,
bat fitting into u walnut. Pictures, of
which all the lines and shading are made
up of minute handwriting, are not uncom-
mon in the museums of the curious, and
in st. Johns College, Oxford, is preserved
a portrait Of Charles l., in which the en-
grayer's lines, as they seem to be, are
really microscopic calligraphy, the face
alone containing all the Book Of Psalms,
with the creeds and some forms of prayer
besides. How old this species Of "curious
idleness" may be it is hard to say, but at
any rate we know that the ancients were
as subject to the mania as the moderns,
for Pliny records that Cicero possessed a
Homer, the "lliadn only, that shut up into
a hazel nut; and other writers ofantiquity
record such wonderful but preposterous
exploits as the inscribing with the naked
eye, hexameter line of Greek upon the
surface Of a single grain of millet.

Annual Meeting of the Grand Lodge OF
Knights of Pythias, at Atchison.


A dispatch from Atchison, dated the
18th, says: To-day has been grand day
in this city, probably the grandest in the
history of the city. The ninth annual
session of the grand lodge of Knights OF
Pythlas, of Kansas, assembled in the city
this morning and after receiving ere
dentials and comforting the grand lodge
degree upon those entitled thereto, ad.
iourned until 1880 in the evening. There
was full delegation present together
with all the grand officers.
The principal feature Of the day was the
competitive drill for magnificent badge
presented by the citizens of Atchison to
the best drilled company of knights. The
contest was between the Atchison lodge
and the Capital City lodge of Lincoln,
Ncb., which was finally decided in favor
of Atchison. The boys are very proud Of
their victory. There were delegations
present from Kansas City, Leavenworth,
Beloit, Wyandott, Topeka, Trenton and
St. Joe, Lincoln and other places, and ths
crowd on the streets during the parade on
the drill grounds was tremendous. 1t is
estimated that over 1900 people were on
the grounds The day was lovely, and
grand occasion it proved. In the evening
there was a grand ball at the Corinthian,
at which the noble knights and lovely
ladies enjoyed themselves heartily until
near morning. The grand lodge assembled
at 1880 in the evening and elected officers
for the ensuing year as follows: W. F.
Ewing, Emporia, grand chancellor; Jas.
H. Lyon, Leavenworth, grand vice
chancellor; ]. H. Sherman, Solomon City,
prelate; 7. j. Neubert, Wyandott, grand
keeper of the record and seal; Geo. Lindt,
Leavenwortb, grand master of the ex-
chequer. The next session will be held in
Topeka in May, 1881.

TIE EBB OF LOVE,

love that wanes is as an ebbing tide.
Which slowly, inch by inch and scarce per
ceivcd,
With many wave that makes brave show tc
rise,
Fails from the shore. No sudden treason
turns
The loDg accustomed loyalty to hate.
But years bring wesrine's for sweet content
And foRdntss, daily sustenance of love,
Which use should make tribute easier paid
First 'grudged, and then withhoden, starve,
the heart;
And though compassion or remorseful
thoughts
OF happy days departed, bring again
The ancient tenderness in seeming food,
Not less it GIBBS and ebbs till all is bare.
o happy shore, the flowing tide shall brim
Thy empty pools, and spread dull, tangled
weeds
In stroamers many-colored as the lights
Which flash in northern heavens, and revive
The fainting blossoms of the rocks; but thou,
o heart, whence love hath Cbbcd, art ever
barel

HOUSEHOLD BABY.

What a Joy to human eyes,
When it laught, or when it cries;
What a treasure, what prize
Is the household baby.

Is 1t cooling, growing, squalling,
'Ii- the same dear, precious darling.
Is the household baby!
If the scene without be dreary,
If the hearts within grow weary,
Baby wakes and all is CHEEKY,
What rush for babyl
Mammals eyes grow bright with 10y
Grandpa laughs. and "grandpa's boy
Gladly leaves his last new toy,
To play bo'peep with babyl
Sisters from their music run,
Maud has caught the "sweetest one"
Grace bends down in girlish fun,
To make horse for baby!
Up to everything we know,
Hands and feet upon the Co."
What iunhy creature, though.
Is the household baby!
Bring the puppy and the cat.
Let her pull and pinch and pat,
Puss and pup were made for that!
Made to please the baby!
Bring that china vase, mamma,
Get the mirror and the hammer,"i
Anything to make clamor,
And delight the baby
Let 1t clang and clash away.
Let it laugh, and shout and play,
And be hsppy while it may,
Dear mischievous baby.
What Joy to human eyes,
What an angel in disguise.
What treasure, what prize,
Is the hou,ehold baby!

FROM the Cofhhl Magazine.
When past events are properly attached
10 those that prccede and succeed them,
fluctuations may arise in the estimation Of
their distance in consequence OF variations
in the character of the Intervening spaces.
In other words, our sense OF distance in
time is influenced 10y our sense of duration
According to Mr.. G. j. Romanes, who has
written very interesting essay on Ou
Consciousness OF Time" (Mind, July,
1871 the sense Of duration depends on
two conditions. Time seems long, either
when it is crowded with new and exciting
impressions, as on a summer tour, or when
we are dwelling on the fact OF its passing,
and so are particularly conscious of it, as
in waiting for Il train. 1t seems short
when 1t is comparatively empty OF exciting
experiences, provided the mind does nor
dwell ON its passage. Thus, it appears
comparatively short when we arc buslly
employed about our ordinary avocations.
Hence, it happens that events Just pre-.
Ccding time Of unusual excitement and
novel experience look further off than
events separated by the same interval OF
comparatively quiet impressions. Last
Sunday sermon seems much further away
after week in Switzerland than after
week OF customary experience at home
Not only does an event appear to take up
different distances because st tparated from
the present by seemingly unequal inter.
walls; the very fact that the one interval
has been filed with exciting impressions,
the other with comparatively quiet ones,
serves to give the mental image of the
event Il different degree OF yivldness and
in the two cases. Our mental
development is not only process of reten-
tlon OF the old, it Is a process of displace-
ment of the old by the new. The more
or the more exciting the new,
the more rapidly does the old tend to disap.
pear. Hence the apparent extrusion OF |
recollection by supervening experiences of |
unusual impressiyeness. Even dream con. |
sciou,ncss seems capable Of eifecting this
result, for the incidents OF the preceding |
evening often appear to be dimmed and |
'hrust further away after n light Of exciting
reams. To young children events year
Did look much further off than to adults,
Just because the interval, full of novel i'm
Dressions from its young world, appears to
well out, and because the very impres.
,ivenoss and fascination of these expen
'nces tend to obscure the earlier ones and
o Danish them further from the present.

been ever able to find. Some time after
this, while in the City of Rochester, |
caught sight OF hand resting on the
wlndow.slll of horse-Car-a large red
hand. The hand was nothing strange,
but the thumb was missing.
did not wait an instant to think. |
leaped from the car, entered lthe other.
and there sat my friends of the stage
coach on either side OF the owner OF the
hand "a big man with red hair and
whiskels." They all jumped up as I
entered, but | hing fast to Luke, and
soon had the bracelets on him, and allow
ing the others to get away. He had no
idea who | was, and took care not to
hint at the charge against him until had
him back at l..
My arrival created much excitement, as
pursuit Of the murderer had from the first
been deemed hopeless. Many contcnded
that had not secured the right man, and
Luke prOicssed never to have been in that
part Of the State before. The child was
several miles away from the village, but
sent for him. 1t had been a year since
the murder. Little Jack had almost for.
gotten the circumstance, and of course the
murderer had changed some; but had
strong hopes that the child would be able
TO identity the man, and was not disap-
pointed.
Waiting until evening, l conducted
Jack into room where Luke and dozen
citizens were sitting. The little fellow
had no knowledge of what we intended,
and for some time did not see the muir
derer. When he did he uttered loud
shrek, ran to me- and exclaimed:
'Ihere S the big man who hit grandpa
and grandma"
Luke braved it out to the last; even
when the purchaser of the watch testified
to his identity he kept bold face, and
went to some pains to prove an alili; but
when convicted, mainly on the testimony
Of little Jack, who shivercd and trcmbled

old 'uns, but | had done enough, and |
could not kill him, curse the brat! now
regret nothing except that did not split |
his head open!"
And standing on the gallows, about to
be launched into eternity, the man used |
MS last moment to curse the child-witncss
who had convicted him of the awful
rhine.
