A HANDSOME young man sat day after
day at desk by the window of store
at Hillsboro, Ky. A handsome young
woman sewed almost as constantly mt
the window of her residence, just across
the street. They began Irritation with
handkerchiefs, developed it into court
ship with notes, and finally eloped-all
without exchanging spoken word I'M
til the night of the fight. Another re-
markable feature of the case was the fact
that the woman was the wife of the Rev.
James A. Caywood, highly-respected
Methodist pastor.

THURLow WEED lately told CORE
spondent of the Indianapolis JOurnolhow
he came to adopt a daughter. 1T was
in 1915" he said, "while L was in q
barber shop in Albany, l heard that a
writing master named Chapman had
been found dead in his room, and that
his daughter, aged two years, had been
alone with her dead father for several
hours. Chapman was dwarf of intem-
perate habits. The little girl was to be
taken TO the almshouse the next morn
ing. 1t was a sad case. l mentioned it
to my family at the tea table, without
manifesting any feeling, but L saw at
once that my wife and children shared
my interest, and when j was leaving the
house half an hour later my daughter
stood at the hall door, and said / will
go with you, father. She was right in
her guess. Arriving where the waif was
temporarily lodged, l found the child,
and she came to me readily. L asked
her if she would go home with me, and
she spoke up, Yes, sir / remember
her sweet voice now. Well, we took her
home, and never think of her without
feeling sure that blessing went into
our house with that child" Mary Weed,
as she was christened, died at the age of
twelve. Mr.. Weed subsequently learned
that her mother belonged to a respect
able English family, and that, before
marrying the Albany dwarf, she had
been the betrothed wife of British
army officer, whose death blighted her
hopes and sent her to this country. Mr.
Weed preserves medal which was
awarded to Mary by the American In
stitute, when she was only seven, for
excellent needlework.

THE police in New York were notified
of the mysterious disappearance of a
young lady, the daughter of wealthy
furniture dealer, the newspapers pub
lished long accounts of it, with elabo-
rate theories to account for her absence.
Detectives were searching the city, and
the heart-broken parents were watching
the morgue. In about a week the young
miss walked into her fathers house, and
was greeted as prodigal returned. 1t
seems that she decided to spend few
days with her aunt up the Hudson, and
left note to her parents, who were
both out of town, lying upon the mantel
in conspicuous position. The note
was found where she placed it.

PRESIDENT HAYES made reply to an

OYSTER Magnates.

The late Sidney Dorlon, writes the
New York correspondent OF the Cincin-
natl Gazette, was the most popular oys-
ter man in America. He began poor,
but left q fortune. This remarkable de-
gree of success was due to his rare neat
ness and good taste. His place was al
way attractive, and SO were his oysters.
Hence he commanded the best patron
age of the city. Simple as the cooking
of an oyster may seem, there was n fasci-
nation in Dorlon's style which few could
approach. He died few years ago,
leaving $50, 900, all made in moderately
sized oyster-house. Van Name, who
kept Mt the corner of Broadway and Full
ton streets, won IL distinguished reputa-
ton i'll this line and became rich. He
afterwards got above his business aud
caught the fever of renown. Leaving
the oyster saloon, he was induced to aid
in organizing savings bank, of which
he was made President. Instead of
serving out shilling stews he eat in n
cushioned chair in business parlor and
signed such papers rs were placed in his
hands. The result was just what might
I've expected. The bank failed, and Van
Name not only lost all his money, but
narrowly escaped an Indictment 1t is
n curious feature in the trade that deal
ers, when sending home oysters to their
customers, always use pail painted blue
outside and white inside. Blue and
white are the ovsterman's arms.

The Oneida Communists.

Prof Mears, of Hamilton College, says
there is reason to believe that the adop-
ton of regular matrimony by the Oneida
community was in good faith, even
though many members had not then and
have not yet changed their opinions, but
hoped, Mt some future time, to follow
them without molestation. Prof. Mears
was one of the Syracuse committee who
made the movement to have President
Moves of the community indicted He
asserts that there was internal discord,
that "the extravagant veneration for
Noyes had seriously declined" and adds
the following narrative: Noyes himself
and his friends became alarmed The cir
Gle, once SO obsequious and blindly
loyal, could no longer be implicitly
trusted. The alarm rose to panic.
Flight was decided upon. To insure
against possible hinderances, it was kept
a secret from most of the family. At
night carriage, containing the founder
and two faithful attendants, was driven
stealthily away to q remote railroad
station. The community, as n whole, was
kept in ignorance of his whereabouts. On
the 1st of March last it became generally
known that he had concluded to remain
in Canada, in or near Clifton, in the inn
mediate vicinity of Niagara Falls. Here
the community, or financial managers of
the concern, rented him house, fur
nished him horse and carriage, and
provided in part for his living expenses.
His legal wife, Mrs. II. A. Noyes, went
to him, accompanied or followed by three
or four other unmarried and younger
women. Thus begins a new episode in
the history of this movement. Noyes is
undertaking at the age of threescore
years and nine, to plant new commun-

The army may find occupation in the
oil regions. There seems to be an open
ing there for artillery-at least artillery
is required sometimes to make an open
ing. Lightning has peculiar fancy for
operating in oil, and, like most green
spectators, it gets its fingers burned.
Recently tank was set fire to by light
ming, and was prevented from becoming
a total loss in novel way. A black
smith suggested that a hole be opened
near the base of the tank and the bulk
of the burning fluid drawn of. This
was done by firing sledge hammer at
the tank from an old cannon, thus OPEN

pe1tiCh of the oil was drawn off and

ONE of the most thriving industries OF
New York city is the importation of Ital-
ian beggars, for which the market Is
quoted firm and advancing. The dex-
terity, insinuating address and smooth
mendacity of this particular brand Of
beggars have given them the call over
all other kinds If home industries are
to be protected at all there is obviously
need of the amendment of the tariff.
Italian beggars should stand a specific
duty of 800 head, an ad-valorem tax
being, for reasons unnecessary to men
ton, out of the question.

THE last census of the city of London
proper shows some curious results. 1t
was taken in the evening, when only CO.
900 people were found within the city
limits out of the 100000 who inhabit it
by day. For instance, upon the census
night there happened to be as dodgers
from agricultural districts in the city
inns and hotels forty farmers beside
three farm bailiffs and twenty-three gar
deners, so that, in the ratio of agricult-
wrists to area, London appears as the
champion agricultural district of the
kingdom. 1t also appears that out of
5000 merchants, who are by day "some-
thing in the city" only 356 sleep
within the city bounds and that out of
5000 brokers only thirty-three breakfast
under the shadow of st. Paul's.
