Saved by q Watch-Case.

Mr.. Wood Yants has some interesting
relics of his grandfather, Jacob Yantis,
who died in 1900, aged seventy-six.
One is silver watch, more than 100
years old, which was brought to this
country from Germany by his grand
father when he was quite young man.
1t is of almost spherical shape, of the
"bull-eye" pattern, and was made by
William Plumley, of London. This
watch was for a long time the only time
piece in the old fort at Harrodsburg,
and to it Mr.. Yantis once owed his life.
He had gone to the Blue Licks, in COM
papy, it is said, with Boone and Others
for salt, and having become separated
from his companions, was discovered and
pursued by Indians. Finding himself
about to be overtskep by the redskins,
he drew out his watch, hastily detached
the outer case and dropped it to the
ground, hoping it's brightness would at
tract the attention of his pursuers while
he could make good his escape. Such
was the fortunate result of the strstage m
and he succeeded in reaching the fort
in safety. He afterward had new case
made in Baltimore. Beordsto,on Ky

A True Romance.

Some fifteen years ago Olga Eskold
obtained such fame for her vocal powers
that an enthusiastic patron removed her
from the Swedish village in which she
had always lived to give her training in
the Royal Conservatory of Music at
Stockholm. In bidding goodbye to her
old home Olga told her village lover
Christian Seilhorn, that he had better
think no more about her, rs they would
soon be very wide apart. Young Sell.
horn grew desperate and that night left
for America without word. He settled
in Buffalo and worked for over thirteen
years as a shipcarpenter. Nearly two
years ago he made up his mind to go
back to Sweden and find out what had
become of Olga. At New York he was
robbed Of nearly all his earnings and
remained in Bellevue hospital, i'll with
brain fever, for several months. Upon
reaching Stockholm he learned that
Olga's voice had broken down, that she
had married long ago and had also gone
to America. Seilhorn's old love still
burned and he came back to this country
After long search he found that Olga
had been living in Buffalo, his own city,
for several years. She was widow and
had family of eight children. Last
week Olga and Christian were married
and started with all the children over
land to Kansas - PITTSBURGH Chronicle.

The Negroes and the Solid Soulful

Most people are familiar with
the Republican untruthful charges
against the Southern Democrats
regarding the political persecu-
ton Of the negroes, but the Re-
publican statements are well known
as interested, one-sided, partisan
falsehoods, got up for the purpose
Of prejudicing the minds of the
Northern voters.
All rules Of justice, however, al
low both parties interested to be
heard before a verdict is given,
and we believe that all fair-minded,
unbiased men will hear the testi-
mony Of both sides before forming
a judgement. To such men we
refer the following communication,
written by a Southern man TO the
New York Sun:

When the Democratic press of
the country make use of extracts
from Republican organs, touching
the character Of Republican politi-
cal leaders, they are generally ac-
cused of throwing mud. There
fore, we will this week throw a
little mud by producing an ex-
tract from an article published in
the Pioneer in 1878:
"Both Garfield and Kelley took
the shares, and Ames carried them,
and let the dividends pay for the
investment. Both received the
dividends in bonds, which Ames
sold, and applied on their pur-
chase, and both received the bal
ance due from the second cash
dividend, $500 in a check on
the Sergeant-at-Arms. He (Ames'
never had any talk with either
about the transaction being one oil
