WE notice from a late copy of
"The Buteman," journal publish
ed at Rothesay, Scotland, that our
respected and beneficent fellow
townsman, Mr.. Bryce Stewart, in
connection with his brothers,
Messrs. John and Daniel Stewart,
of Richmond, Va, have lately
very generously donated a large
sum OF money, amounting to over
$4,000, for the purpose of erecting a
wOrkingmen's institute for Rothe-
say, their native town. At the an
nual meeting of the Workingmen's
Club, of that city, the president of
the meeting in announcing the fact,
took occasion to say to the members
of the club that at must be very
gratifying that gentlemen who,
though natives of ROthesay and
sciOns of an old Butte family, had
been resident in America from
their early manhood, still continued
to take such a warm interest in the
place As to perfect such a scheme as
was proposed, and he was sure they
would earn the gratitude, not only
of the present, but of many future
generations, for thinking of ROthe-
say in this way and proposing to do
so much for it. The erection Of this
institution, would, he thought,
prove a more lasting good and a
more valuable benefaction than
any that had yet fallen to the good
luck of Rothesay."

Our readers will remember that
some time last October, man rep
resenting himself as being largely
engaged in the milling business in
Nashville succeeded in swindling
Messrs Nichols & Bro, near Ham,
baugh's Mill, out of some $500 worth
of wheat and skipped out. Since
that time nothing definite has been
heard from him until last Monday
night, when Capt. Yater, Chief Po-
lice at Nashville, telegraphed Off,
Ger Frank Phillips of this city, that
the police there had arrested a man
who was thought to be the festive
grain dealer. Mr.. Nichols was sent
for and on Wednesday, armed with
the proper papers, he and Mr..
Phillips went to Nashville, but on
their arrival there found that he
had been identified by parties from
Gallatin for a fancy deal in wheat
t that place and had been taken
there for trial. Messrs. Phillips
and Nichols went ON to Gallatin
and finding their man in Jail there,
he proved to be the one wanted.
He talked very freely of his 'cor-
ners in grain" and said that the
Nichols swindle was the only one
which he regretted and that only
on account of Mr.. Nichols being a
poor man. Officer Phillips served
his papers on the prisoner and when
the Gallatin people get through
with him he will likely be brought
here for trial. He is an ex convict
and sails under a dozen aliases and
is wanted in several other places for
similar Offenses.

'ashington, Dec. 10, 1882.

THE Jackson Tribune and Sun
wants somebody to "set down" on
the turkey-begging editors, and
adds, "this thing of editors begging
for turkeys is no better than borrow
ing the paper of your neighbOr."
Our high-minded friend Gates is
right, every respectable editor
ought to be ashamed of himself to
be going around begging for Christ
mas turkeys. What is the use of
disgracing the profession by beg
ging for turkeys, when any enter
prising editor ought to know where
his neighbours turkey coop is loca-
ted. The editorial turkey mendi-
cant ought to be frowned down
upon, and as long as we know how
to gobble up nice fat gobbler in
the night time, we propose to depre-
cate the practice of begging for
them.

WE learn that DIR. A. p. Water
field, of Union City, is a candidate
for the position of physician and
surgeon of the penitentiary. We
do not hesitate to say that there is
not better man in the State for
this position than DIR. Waterfield.
He stands second to no man to-day
In the State in his profession, hav-
ing by fine natural talents and
industry, established for HIM
self a wide and well deserved
reputation as a thoroughly prac-
teal and successful physician,
Should Gen. Bate appoint him to
this responsible position, he will
not only have the satisfaction of
knowing that he has made a most
excellent choice, but will bestow
the Office on a most efficient as well
as worthy aspirant. We hope DR..
Waterfield will receive the appoint-
ment.

THE Sultan of Turkey is

THE Sultan of Turkey is still liv-
ing in daily dread of assassination,
but this fact does not keep him
from becoming Americanized. He
carries two heavily-loaded revrl-
vels around with him, and the
other day when one of his servants
approached him with a petition,
which he undertook to pull from
his bosom, the Sultan became
alarmed, thinking he was an assas-
sin, and shot him dead on the spot.

with just at this particular time.

WE would like to'suggest to the
railroad authorities that they have
the waiting rooms at the passenger
depot kept open at night, during
the hours of the 1870 O'Clock &C.
cOmmodation train. This train is
often taken by persons going north
from here, and lately we have
heard many complaints from par
ties who have gone TO the depot to
take this train and who found that
the waiting rooms were locked and
they could find no shelter or fire,
having to wait on the platform, no
matter how cold and Indictment the
night, until the arrival of the train.
This is an imposition on the trav-
cling public and ought to be cor
rected. If the railroad proposes to
carry passengers on this 11:3O train,
the waiting rooms ought to be kept
open, and fires i'm the stoves. We
hope the officials will see to this
matter.

From the appearance of Vick's

we should judge that the young

as the Floral Guide with its litho-

on the best of paper, has three col
Ored plates of flowers and vegeta-
