An Emphatic Witness.

Alick Thompson Of Virginia, tells
a story illustrative of the peculiar
vernacular Of the people among whom
he was born, and Of their special ca.
pacity for giving evidence in a court
of justice in a compact, accurate, and
picturesque style. Some time ago he
chansed to be visiting at county
seat IN Virginia, and was courteously
invited by the Commemorative at.
torney to come into the court room
on the following morning, with the
assurance that witness would testi.
fly in a murder case then pending.
He entered the court room, and
speedily after his arrival a witness
was called, who advanced to the
stand with such such jaunty air of
self-assurance, and who kissed the
book with such loud-sounding conf.
dence, that he was sure this must be
"his man." He judgment was not
incorrect.
"Mr. williamson" asked the Com.
monwealth's attorney, 'do you know
anything Of the killing which took
place at Robertson's store last
month";"
KnoW anything!" was the response;
81 was thar"
"Then tell the Court and jury"
said The attorney, "what you know"
The witness planted himself more
firmly on both feet, glanced around
upon his auditors, and thus delivered
himself: "Well, you see, Mr.. Rob.
erson were a-sittin' in the back part
of his store a-playin' of his fiddle, not
a.thinkin' of bein' stobbed, nor
nuthin' of the kind, when in come
Mr.. Johnson, and then and thar stob.
bed him; then he gathered bung.
starter, cleaned out the crowd, Tipped
the palm, and cIared heseE."-

The raid continues throughout the
Northern and central portions of the
State, extending from the Sierra Ne

fall increases as the storm continues.
Dispatches from the mountain coun-
ties of Eldorado, Placer, Nevada and

heavy in Shasta to day. The rain
fell at the rate Of nearly one inch an
hour. Several cloud bursts occurred
in that country, doing considerable
damage, but fortunately motives were
lost. In Shasta county this seasons
rainfall amounts to seven and half
feet. 1t is needless to state that there
are no dry spots in that vicinity. No
approximate of losses there can be
made at present. The people of

from the Sierra country say that both

er river some time tonight. The
situation at Sacramento is critical,
and tomorrow may see the place un.

rising fast. and Sacramento city is
already under water. The immense
floods are coming from the upper

The GAINESVILLE Argus reports the
return of Mr.. and Mrs. Ayers of that
place, from New Jersey lately, and
this Is what Mr.. Ayers says:
HE suffered more with cold there
than he ever did In Minnesota.
Sleighs and cutters there are in de.
nand, the supply being short by
reason Of the mild winters hereto
fore.
He thinks the condition of farmers
there no better than here, as the
farms are heavily mortgaged and
there appears no prospect of ever
lifting them. Land is worth only
about half the amount it brought
after the war. and farms purchased
since that time have steadily decreas-
ed in value"

The Garden Of Eden.

A couple of hours ride over most
wretched bride path, up and down
rugged mountain passes, brought us
to this charming oasis called 'Eaden.
The Arabs assured US this spot was
the real Garden of Eden, and, judg.
ing from the intense curiosity they
evinced concerning ourselves and our
traps, we had no difficulty in believ.

first mother Eve dwelt ere she grew
too fond of apples.
This Eden is situated in pretty

feet above the level of the sea.
Water is abundant here, and conse-

trees, with olive and mulberry planta-

be seen some immense walnut trees
that look as old as the world.
AS lam writing these lines. sitting
on a camp stool in front Of my tent, l
can see the whole population of
Eaden collected around our camp
staring at us. Young and old, men,
women and children, are pressing
forward to have q good look at us;
and some of these wild children Of
Eve have climbed up the trees to
have the luxury of bird's.eye view
of our camp. Long before we reach.
ed our camping ground the news had
been brought that a caravan Of PEG.
pie from beyond the mountains, and
perhaps, oh wonder! from beyond the
sea, was coming to camp in their
oasis. The news spread like wild.
fire among the tribe, and there was a
general rush for the best places to
see us come in and get off our horses.
The women left off their work In the
fields, the men left off playing on
their reed pipes, and the children
left off crying to see US coming. Bar.

was, and was informed to my aston.
ishment and delight that Mustapha
was an Arab by birth, who for some
unknown reason came to Turkey
when quite young, and engaged In
the business Of guide; that he was
rich and was considered the finest
guide in the country. You can i'm.
agine that I had but little doubt Of
succeeding in this trip after I heard
this. and I am beginning to think
that they did not praise him half
enough. Well, we mounted our
horses and slowly started out Of the
city, and by noon stopped our horses
on the last hill overlooking Constan.

seen the blue Bosphrous, crowded
with incoming and outgoing vessels.

domes OF the sanity city. In front

mountain ranges. AS I gazed on all

But Mustapha cut short my reflec.
tions by announcing that 1t would be
night before we could reach the
nearest kahn or inn, and we must
therefore hasten. So with a last look
we put spurs to our steeds and were
soon on the road to Adrainople which
we reached the evening Of the 18th,
having accomplished the distance of
100 miles in seven days. This open

Burning of the Insane Asylum.
by A. II. WILSON

Twas only on the fifteenth OF last November,
That we heard the news we ever shall remom-
Der;
That the North Wing of the Asylum was on
fire,
And every minute built the flames still
higher;
As the wires flashed the tidings throughout
the land,
Cities sent chorus back, here's a helping
hand.
Sister cities Minneapolis and st. Paul,
Soon made efforts to respond to the urgent
call
For help. And while Mankato little higher,
With firemcn brave, soon reached the fearful
raging fire.
From the minute the flames began their awful
work,
No citizen of st. Peter did duty shirk.
Strong men, brave mon, with long ladders
they were reaching
Windows, where faces, lighted by the flames,
besceching
Their dcliverancc. Others working In tho
halls
Blindly leading them to light, mid the crack
ing walls,
Till by flames and smoke they were utterly
blinded,
And driven from the search for the feeble
minded.
Brave mon your lot was hard-saving lives
without light
Lives of mad-mcn- cen their deliverers they'd
fight
All was tumult without, and the gathering
crowds
Read the horror within, on the blushing
Clouds
o, fiery flames! within you thirty men were
lost
Thirty poor souls did share this fearful holo-
caust.
The fire stained shattered walls now in ruin
Black and roofless halls, open to the changing
skies.
D, Walls!a sarcophagus for human cremation,
., Walls! within you fearful incineration
Of human souls! Oh souls! may you forever
dwell,
Free from such sulferings, that are akin to
hell.
The very aspect Of your ire scorched stones
relates:
Horror within you misunderstanding to other
states
The very winds, wildly through your windows
signing,
AS If lamcnting, In tones akin 10 crying,
To those walls, sadly black with smoke, let 1t
be said:
They arc draped in mourning, in honor Of
the dead. st. Peter Tribune.

1t is claimed by an old farmer who
resides in this county that in the ex-
IRENE cold weather corn is the best
food for horses. He contends that
it promotes warmth, and that horses
can perform more hard work when
fed on corn in the winter than when
given oats. He says that in warm
weather oats are the best food, and
that horses used on long roads will do
better when fed on this grain; but
for the farm he prefers corn in pre-.
ference to any other grain for his
horses, except few weeks in mid.
summer. There is no doubt but that
corn is the cheapest food that can be
given horses in the North and West,
and if 1t is as good for them as oats.

The green goggles which some of

The green goggles which some Of
my companions wore seemed to raise
the enthusiasm Of the crowd to the
highest pitch, and many a swarthy
finger was raised from among those
Arabs, pointed to these green goggles
while the women called to each other
and raised their children in their
arms to make them enjoy the treat.
Meantime my friends, quite uncon.
scious Of their great popularity, did
not know what to make Of all this
crowd. But as We drew near the
fonts and I helped Mrs. E. off her
horse, the crowd pressed 80 much on
US that HALL and his men were oblig-
ed to drive them of, and to have
ropes stretched around our camp to
keep the intruders out.
Here with penty of elbow room, I
enjoy the scene, which, indeed, is
very picturesque. When the excite
ment had somewhat subsidized, l
strolled out to enjoy the gorgeous
sunset. The western sky was aglow
with luminous tints Of orange, pink
and purple. This glory lasted but a
minute, and all was hushed in the
gray tints Of evening
Later in the evening some young
men and young women were admitted
into the dining room tent. These
Arab women were dying with curios-
ity to see and handle the clothes and
trinkets of our lady friends. Velvet
seemed to attract their attention and
admiration more than anything else,
save perhaps, Our watches and gloves.
The gloves especially seemed to puz'
zle them. The countess took out her
repeater and made it strike for them.
They seemed delighted, just as little
children would be, with the sound of
the tiny bell. Some of these pretty
Arab girls asked me, through our
dragoman, If all tho ladies in our
country were like the two that were
with US. told HALL to ask these
girls what made them ask that ques-
ton. They answered with giggle
and a shy look from their roguish
eyes: elf they are all 80 large it

The Pennsylvania railroad company
has cut the emigrant rate to Chicago
to $3.50, claiming that the Erie road
has acted in bad faith. The emigrants
ought to take the tickets at these
rates in good faith, and not wait for
free tickets and chromos from the
rival roads, for this is cheaper than
loafiing around Castle Garden.
