Here you sat, With The fire dead out,
and Two hal 10 kintlle it up again.
..Bless me!' said Mrs. Dean, IL must
have been asleep qui,e awhile. Butt
las she started up she saw that the old
wall-pocket opposite was empty
''whcre is that old number of Wav-
e,ys@"
ut was last weeks paper" said Mr..
Dean, calmly. 1--WE had both of US
read it, so just took it to kint1lc the
fire.
''You burned it up?''
Yes sad Mr.. Dean; II burned Il
up. Why shonldn'tl?''
For half-and-hour later, Mrs. Dean
sat silent and never spoke a word. And
her first utterance was
'.lt's a Judgment upon me.
Mrs. Dean was resolule woman, full
of character. She went to her table
drawer, took out a sheet of paper, and
wrote to DR.. Bridgman. enclosing two
dollars toward Lame Dick Bodley's
cart and donkey. She sent five dollars
to Mrs. Graham for the poor little
OHara's, and promised to give some
of her husbands cast-off clothes to cut
up for the children. And she sent for
Helen Hurst to come and see her.
Il can't lend you twenty dollars, my
dear" said she, because I haven't got
It. But I'll tell you what will do
I'll let you make your home here as
long as you please. There's a nice
spare room, and it's quarter of mile
nearer than Mrs. Smiths to the
school,"
''Oh, how very good you arer' said
Helen, with her eyes swimming with
grateful tears.
'Goodr' cried Mrs. Dean. "pm just
beginning to see what selfish, greedy
creature I've been all my life. But
you're welcome, my dear. and your
board shall not cost you penny"
She opened her parlor. shook out the
curtains and lit fire in the CRATE.
..Dean likes the parlor,'' said she,
s'because it has such nice south win
dows, and don't see why we shouldn't
enjoy it,
Il can't be very LIBERAL" she said;
''but am determined to do what /
can"
''That's right, my dear-that's right -
said her husband. t.We shall be pros
porous. never fear. I'm awfully sorry
about burning up your savings, but il
it's going to open your heart like this,
it's the best thing that could have hap
pened to u.s."
Mrs. Dean was sweeping out the
kitchen. She looked round with a
smile, as she moved the wide-leaved
table, which always stood under the
wall-pocket, and took down the pocket
itself, to dust it out.
YES" she said. II am afraid I was
getting to be little misery, and-Why,
what's this?''
Mr.. Dean stopped and picked up a
clip of stiff, cracking paper, which had
fallen out from the wall-pocket as his
wife turned it upside down and tapped
her finger against it to remove all pos.
sible dust.
Its the bank-noter' said he, with
mouth and eyes opening in unison.
1T must have slipped down from the
folds of the newspaper, and lod ged
here"
''The Lord has sent it back to u.s.
said Mrs. Dean, reverently, ''and He
has sent lesson, wise and merciful,
with it,
''Well," said Mr.. Dean, after mo.
ment or two of silence, ''tlere is les.
son in almost everything He does, if we
did but know it,"
And all the theologians in the world
could not have improved upon the
faith of this simple, unlcttered old
farmer. r. ,.1tf.a.

Einlaging.

Writes correspondents: 'sThe next
competition was between women. and
is called 'einlaging.' Strings are thrown
across the street from window to win
dow, about eleven feet from the ground.
From the centre of each is suspended
potato, tied in a handkerchief, which
the women, blindfolded. are to try and
strike. The sport caused great sem,
sation. The street, one occupied by
the poor and humble but respectable
and Woodworking people, was filled
some time before the fun began. Two
young stalwart men, with broad, round
faces, emerged from a small doorway,
holding aloft the prizes to be competed
for. They were in pairs, the two high
est being cheaply -silvered vases, The
seconds being the same in blue china.
The young men, holding one in each
hand, danced and sang some Flemish
song; then they entered d house where
the string was and set the prizes in the
window. This proceeding was repeat
ed, there being two other pairs Of
prizes. The old women tried first.
Each stood about ten steps off from the
suspended potato. facing it. She was
honestly blindfolded. then given huge
wooden ladle, with which she was to
try and strike the potato. The first old
lady struck in the air before she was
more than half way. Two or three
others. profiting by her failure, came
nearer. but hit far aside, generally

Chased by u Mob

CI.cINNATI, OHIO, January "a Gait
lettsburg, Kentucky, despatch says: Judge
Brown, fearing that great crowd from
Ashland would prevent hearing of the
case of the Gibbons family murderers, or
dered the steamer Mountain Girl to get up
steam and take the prisoners to Maysville,
Kentucky, for safe-keeping, Owing
to the difficulty Of getting the prisoners
on board. the Sheriff put them on
ferry-boat and started down the river.
The MOB took possession of steamer,
Mountain Girl, and started in pursuit. 1t
is thought that the prisoners will not get to
Maysville alive.
PORTSMOUTH, o., January 5-The steamer
Mountain Boy, having on board Ellis,
Craft, George Ellis and William Neal, the
Ashland murderers guarded by q dctach-
ment of the Maysville Guards, provided
with arms touched here for coal at $50 p IN.
George Ellis when interviewed reiterated
ing from what has been reported by the
Associated Press and still maintains that
his share in the murder was only that of
an unwilling witness. The steamer Hud-
son, with the militia, touched at Overton,
seventeen miles above here, and transferred
the Maysville Guards to the Mountain
Boy. The Mountain Girl was mile or
two behind at the time and abandoned the
pursuit on learning thac the prisoners were
guarded by the militia. No boisterous
demonstrations attended the landing here,
but it required the utmost efforts of the
civil and military officers to keep the linz
mensc crowd from rushing on the boat.

To the Editor of the Daily POST
SIR:-When an article headed General

versation on which the narrative was
evidently founded was NOT an interview

would not undertake to correct it. This
was published promptly As that article
and am charged with having accused Mr..
Davis OF appropriation the Confederate
funds carried through North Carolina,
write To deny the charge. | did not
use the language imputed to
me. WhatI did, say was that the presi-
dent ought to have accounted for this
money. IL is a well-known practice in this
and all other civilized countries that those
who have the disposal Of public funds shall
account for.them. What said on that DC
casi0n was in an accidental CON
vcrsation with >one | considered
much aboye the class of interviewers,
therefore, | had no fear of the publication
of what might say and said a good deal
that nothing would induce me to say for
publication, especially ON the subject OF the
funds at Greensboro. That part of the
conversation was in connection with the
subject of an application made by me for
that part of the money that should be paid
to the army | then commanded in North
Carolina, which had received no real pay
for many months

Texas, of January 4th, that Chinese graders
have been massacred by Apaches, and to q
st. Louis despatch Of the 9Th, that the deed
was committed by disguised white men,
says nothing Of The kind occurred. The
report had It's origin in the fact that a num-
Der of Mexicans visited the graders camp
looking for lost stock, but made no demon

parties are too numerous and well
armed to fear attack from any ordinary
