About Coal.

John Il. Castner, the coal king, arrived
from Little Pittsburg yesterday. He in
forms us that Prof Pumpelly made q
thorough examination Of his mine and
pronounced it the best coal showing he
has seen in this part Of the country. The
professor took specimens from all parts
of the vein and will make an analysis.
Mr.. G. thinks that Notwithstanding the
numerous coal discoveries made about
Benton he still has the boss mine. He
will start his teams hauling coal in about
three weeks and keep them on the road
as loass as the weather permits. He
refuses to make contracts in advance but
will sell at the market price 1T time Of
delivery. AS heretofore, the price Of
coal at the mine will be only four dollars
a ton, leaving 8 nice margin for freight
ers who wish to haul the black diamonds
to Benton

How They Get the Best Of Us.

Johnnie went out and tlosted" himself
yesterday. He was missing for two
whole hours, and the neighbors were all
aroused to see if they had seen the stray,
young yagabond, wheeling little red
barrow off with him. After i long and
tedious search he was found in the back
yard Of a new chum, mounted i'll
triumph OH the roof Of . hep coop.
Didn't he catch it? Well, J, no; not hard
~. ItNas this way. When his mother
started out to look for him she deter
mined that when once found he would
get such spanking as would cure him
Of his nomatiic tendencies, aud as She
looked and looked and began to grow
anxious, she melloWed toward the little
scamp, and by the time she found him,
his face brown and heated by the sun,
his hands begrilnea with dirt. his apron
torn and anew hole stubbed in his shoe,
she vas 50 glad to see him that she
picked him up and kissed him. He
was only q little ways of, that's all,
she said, as she gave him a second plate
OF pudding for dinner for being such d
nice little runaway Oh, these little
ones get the best Of Us every time.

ALLEGED SEDUCTION.
An Ugly Complaint Made in the Probate
Court Yesterday.

There wastroublc among the colored
population yesterday, and hurrying to
and fro from the court house and law
yerS offices. The ball was opened bv
the arrest Of James Toohey for disturb
ing the peace, Aunt Leah Ward being
the complaining witness. He was fined
S. and costs, which sum he promptly
liquidared. Shortly afterwards he re-
turned to the court house and filed a
complaint against Aunt Leah for pro-
curing the seduction of her fourteen
year-oId granddaughter Toohey claim
ing that this result had been accom-
plished within the past few days. Be
fore beginning any proceedings, Judge
Tattan sent for the little girl in the ease,
and after putting a number of questions
TO her, became satisfied that the evil
dence would hardly be strong enough to
warrant him III proceeding with the
case, and for the present, at least, it has
been dismissed There is no darker
crime III the catalogue than that in the
charge made by Toohey, especially
when the girl in question is u grand
child, and we trust Aunt Leah will be
able 81 show that she is entirely inno-
cent OF the charge.
