THE Visalia Delta, a California
paper tells this: "a young man in
the neighborhood had taken up 100
acres of land, built a house upon it,
a barn, bored wells, dug bitches,
sown it in wheat, and in all spent
hundreds of dollars upon it. 1t hap
pened to be a dry season and the
crop failed. He became discourage
ed and offered his claim at a sacri-
fee. a young lady gave him 500
for his right, title and interest iii the
land and everything on it. She let
it lie. She need do nothing more
She sold the insufficient crop for
hog feed. The hogs rooted and scat
tered it. The winter rains came,
and with them came the volunteer
crop, which matured and has just
been cut, yielding twelve bushels
per acre on 120 acres. She will clear
at least 81, 800, besides having the
land and the Improvements.

THE GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leafsays
the colored Republicans of Christian
county refused to go over to Peay.
Our neighbor is mistaken. The
colored Republicans to the number
of six hundred went over to Peay

him by stayingaway from the polls.

his road to prosperity he never lost

AN Eastern paper deplores the in
crease of speculative insurance on
the lives of old and afflicted people
not of kin to the insurer. This bu-
siness has become of great extension
in Pennsylvania, and has led to the
commission of great crimes and
frauds, in reference to which the
paper referred to says: "There is
no more successful education in
murder than that which a person
obtains while longing for some one
else to die"

There have been two most dis
tressing cases lately, one in Virgin
ia and the other In Ohio, of respec-
table young women being enticed
in marriage with plausible rascals.
In both instances the acquaintance
of the parties was brief, and the
swindlers were men who were I'M
known TO the friends OF the women.
In both instances the women were
deserted within a few days after
marriage by their husbands, who
ran away with ali the plumber they
could put their hands on. 1t Is inn
possible not to pity the unhappy du-
pes but really it IS amazing that in
telligent women should be willing

MUSICAL BOX.

She's perfect to whirl in q waltz;
And her shoulders show well on a soft
diVan,
As she lounges at night and spreads her silks
And plays with her bracelets and flirts her
fan.
Hor duty this Christian never onaftsl
She makes her calls and leaves her cards,
And enchants a circle OF half-dedged wits
And slim attaches and six-foot guards.
Is this the thing for mother or wife2
Could love ever grow on such barren rock?
Is this a companion to take for a WIFE

You exhaust in a day her full extent;
lis the same little dnkle Of tunes always:
You must wind her up with compliment,
To be bored with the only airs she plays.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The passenger
train from New York ran into the rear end
of freight train near Hallersburg, early
this morning, and the engine and several
freight cars we're considerably damaged, and
the tracks blocked several hours. The dam
age amounts to about fifty thousand dollars.
The accident, it is said, was caused by the
freight pulling out when it should have
waited for the passage of the passenger
train. No one was injured. Among the
passengers were President Roberts and VICE
President Cossatt, of the Pennsylvania rall-
road. When the engineer saw the fast tram
pulling out he reversed the engine and put
on the brakes with such force as to throw
the passengers out of their seats. A purse
was made up for the engineer who remained
at his post.

. .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Congress has ad-
journed and most of the congressman have
started for thoir homes already. As con-
sequence the city is quiet, but t..e Guitsau
trial still interests those who rcmain. The
investigation of the little affair Of ex-Secre-
tary Sherman will also 60 right ahead, ire
spective Of the usual holiday recess. The
testimoney of J. Bradley Adams, Essstatlcla1
of the city, was considered against the ring.
Mr.. Adams has had the contract for furnish
ing the general stationery supplies to the
treasury department.. He called for the pur-
pose Of testlfying as to exorbitant prices
paid by the treasury for supplies Furnished
by him. Mr.. Adams said he WAS in no way
responsible for the prices, and that he tur-
nished supplies at figures given him by the
treasury department. The general charge
is that the figures sssupplied by the treasury
ring are of such character as to allow the
purchasing of the treasury'a handsome COM
mission, as the prices Spaid zto fMr. Adrms
we're largely in excess Of the current market
rates.
