Thu Conyantian And Trade.

Notwithstanding the Chicago convention has
overshsdowed other topics OF conversation, the
interest in the sale of dry goods, &c, at II. j..
Gilen's 10 undated 1t is certain sef.interest Is
the great animus, after all: and Mr.. Gilleu per-
mits no one to forget that the buyers interest is
to consult him. In all lines of dry goods his
stock is unsurpassed il indeed it be equalled in
the county. The line OF dress goods is specially
rich and attractive, as all who have followed his
announcements we'll know, so that it is unneces-
sary to particulsrize now 1t is sufficient to say
the stock was never stronger and can hardly be
improved. II will be specially interesting, how
ever, to know that owing to the advance OF the
season greater bargains will be offered than ever
in all departments.
The same liberal policy will be observed in the
boot and shoe and grocery departments of
course; and what with stocks OF unusually
strong and attractive, no house can really be
said to be of more value to Ottawa and neighbor-
ing buyers than that of Mr.. Gillen. All request,
ed to call.

FAITHLESS.

Richmond. Va. Oct 26-The fol
lowing special from Wytheville,
gives the account of shocking trag-
edy which occurred recently In Car
roll County. It says: MIR. Frank
Allison, merchant, doing business
with young man named Hanks as
partner ut Woodlawn, Carroll coun-
ty, near the Grayson and Wythe
county lines, had reason to suspect
Hanks was too familiar with his wife
and on Wednesday last he set a trap
by which he fastened the guilt of
both parties beyond doubt. He told
his wife that day he would be absent
unt.l the next. He secreted himself
until night, when he returned after
bed time and entered the rooms of
Hanks in the rear part of the store,
which building was in close proximity
to his residence. Here he discovered
his wife and Hunks together and COM
menced firing upon thsni, killing
Hanks instantly and mortally wound
ing his wife with two shots. Five
shots were fred. Allison then sur
rendered himself. The family is one
Of highest respectability. and the
shock to the friends and relatives Is
distressing.

A MISSISSIPPI DEER STORY.

This day l met Eli old friend and
hunter, j. U. Blue, OF Lincoln Co.
who informed me that for the past
too years a certain buck has been in
the habit Of eating up the cow-peas
of the neighborhood. Several times
they have tried to entrap him, but to
no purpose. Last Wednesday Mr..
Blue was feeding his hogs, when Il
favorite hound cold Spot" gave a
yelp, and on going to a famous stand
in the Homcnchitto, known as the
bee gum stand, he shot large buck
with the following marks al i a medal
which | will describe: A swallow
fork on the left ear, and underbit Oh
right, with small clip on tail. The
medal was brass, and bore the seal of
Kentu:ky, and on one side were the
figures 1890. On skinning the deer
which weighed 1774 pounds dressed,
Mr.. Blue found a porcupine quill
imbedded i'll the flesh, with words
family inscribed: 'Kentucy shall be
our frontier, 1769.'-Brookhaven

The ''OId Oxen Bucket" was writ
ten fifty or more years ago by prin-
ter named Samuel Woodworth. He
was in the habit of dropping into o
noted drinking saloon kept by one
Mallory. One day, after drinking a
glass of brandy and water, he smack
ed his lips and declared that Mallo-
rvs brandy was superior to any drink
he dad ever tasted.
No" said Mallory, you are mis-
taken III both our estimations far sur
passed this"
What was this?" incredulously
asked Woodwork.
''The fresh spring water We used to
drink from the old oxen bucket that
hangs in the well, after returning
from the fields on sultry day"
VERY true," replied Woodwork
tear-drops glistening in his eyes.
Returning to his printing Office, he
seated himself at his desk and began
to write. In half an hour.

4 BIRDS FEAR Of THE DEAD.

1t is not mere sentimentalisrl that
pleads in favor Of the most merciful
form Of death being adopted in the
case of the slaughtering of animals
intended for human consumption
There is no question that much suf-
fering would be spared cattle if they
were rot allowed to See each other
slaughtered. Not easy is it to con-
ceive the kind of torture they feel
and cannot express. How observant
are animals is proved by a case which
came under my own observation.
Among the inmates of my house is "a
jackdaw, an illgained and vituperated
bird as ever accepted, under protest,
human companionship and human
attention. He prefers so distinctly
sleeping in cage where 10 enemy
cs.n assail him while he is off his
guard that he is allowed to have his
own way in the matter. One day
while ne was in the cage. some dead
pheasants, which had just arrived in
a hamper, were placed beside him.
His dread Of these was remarkable to
witness. A bird whose whole time
was passed in defiance of things
stronger than himself, in aggravarlng
mastiff that would not make two
bites Of him, or i'll pinching surrep-
titiously the hamboyant tail OF his
arch enemy, the cat, when it came
within reach Of his cage. went into an
ecstasy of terror, which could not be
appeased until the uncanny objects
were removed. What instinct cau:ed
this strange demonstration III the
presence of death shown in one of its
own race, albeit Of so different a
specie. is not to be guessed. Much
food for reflection and speculation is
however, ded.-Gentleman's Mag,

WHY ne WAS iii THE PEHlTERTiARy.

An important case was tried be-
fore the criminal court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. An old colored
man was on the witness stand. The
district attorney interro gated the
witness:
What is your name?
John Williams, sab.
Are YOU the John Williams who
was sent to the Albany State pen
itentiary for larceny?
No sah-not this John.
Are you the John Williams who
was convicted of arson, and sent to
the Baltimore penitentiary?
No sab.
Tired of asking fruitless ques-
tons, the district attorney suddenly
put a leading one.
"Have you ever been in the pen
itentiarys
Yes, sab.
| All eyes were now turned upon
the witness. The district attorney
smiled complacently, and resumed:
| How many times have you beer
in the penltentiary2
Twice, sab.
Where?
In Baltimore, sah
How long were you there the frs
time?
About two hours, sab.
How long the second time? asked
the attorney, rather crestfallen.
An hour, sab. went there tt
whitewash a cell for a lawyer who
had robbed his client.
The attorney sd down amid the
augh ter of the spectators.

A WOMAN TURNED TO STONE.
The 'Petrificd Body of a Squaw
Found In a California Lake,

On Thursday last Alonzo Zaletto,
an Indian fisherman discovered pet
rified woman at Cascade Lake. He
was going out to fish at the time, and
when pushing off his boat struck
against something which attracted
his attention. He investigated the
matter, and found petrified hand
protruding from the sand and peb-
bles on the beach. In short time
hehad unearthed a woman in a state
of petrifcation. It was small in size,
brown in color and scrawny and
ensaeiated. The petri6cation had a
hideous appearance, and the body Or
iginally must have belonged to a
shriveled, sickly woman.
The left breast was we'll developed
but the arms and legs were not much
larger than the bones would have
been, and the fingers Of the right
hand were gone. The petrifcation
weighed nearly two hundred pounds,
and a more unsightly object could
not well be imagined. 1t was
brought down to Lake Bigler in the
afternoon, and L. j. Wilson Of San
Francisco, has offered 800 for it, as
he wished to present it to the Acade-
my of Science. In all probability
the body is that of an Indian woman.
There is tradition that years ago
the Indians had a battle at Cascade
Lake, in which the squaws joined, and
the dead were buried on the shore of
the lake. Under certain conditions
the human cadaver petrifes, more
especially III water. The finder wants
$50 for his prize. and it is probable
that the sum will be paid by the
Academy and the curiosity sent to
San Francisco.-Carson (Nevada)

'sAEREnITY" AND DRunkEnEss.

The apostles Of the doctrine of he
redity" will have much to answer for,
unless they explain more fully than
they vet have done how far their
teaching goes. At Hull, the other
day, confirmed topper made ''heredi-
ty' his excuse for so often troubling
the magistrates with his presence.
Eighteen times had he appeared be-
fore them previously charged with
public drunkenness, and on the nine
teenth occasion he could only urge
that he could not help himself. He
was not bad citizea- he declared, in
other respects, nor did he ever give
trouble when in his cups. With all
his heart he halted the vica which
had made him its victim, but my ia
tller used to get drunk before [ was
born, and that is Why I take the
drink The victim of circumstan-
ces did not say precisely whether he
thus indulged out of respect to the
example set by his deceased parent,
or through the overpowering infiu-
ence of natural selection. We I'M
agine that the latter was his mean
ing, because he declared that he
would sooner have paid e20 than
have made nineteenth appearance
in court. In one sense there might
possibly be grain of truth in his pc
culiar plea. If, we may believe those
who have devoted attention to the
subject cf dipsomania, parents habit
ually given to intoxication sometime
transmit a taint of the disease to their
offspring. On the other hand, it is
equally common to find the children
of hard drinkers as sober as other
folks, especially if taken away at an
early age from those who set them
such bad example. Now, if the
doctrine of ''heredity" applied in this
case. we should expect to fad all, or
nearly all, whose parents were addic-
ted to drinking before their births
displaying similar tendencies. When
Fielding and Smollet sketched En-
glish society, hard drinking was
greatly i'll vogue among the better
I classes. The graphic pages of thes e fa-
nous humorists are, so to speak,
steeped in drink, and as they are rec
ognized as giving faithful picture
of the current manners and Gus
toms, we may take it that over-in-
diligence WAS the rule among the
wel-to do. No one can say that this
! is a general characteristic of polite
society at present, and heredity." ="
therefore goes to the wall, for did it
hold good in connection with drink
society ought now to be chiefly con-
stituted of dipsomaniacs. The mag
istrates at Hull seem to have argued
in this way, for they find the bibu-
lous sinner twenty shiilings and
costs.
