Horses 200 Years Ago.

It is curious to find that in 1875 the
Queen OF Navarro gave carrots TO her
horses. The ordinary price of horses
in England, in the reign of Edward l.,
was from Ct to go. When St. Lsuis
returned from his captivity, the Abbot
OF Ciuny presented 10 the King and
Queen each horse, the Yalue Of Fhich

Women give way to tears more readily

simply a difference Of temperament,
that is all. 1t involves no inferiority,
IF you think that this habit necessarily
means weakness, wait and see. Who has
not seen women break down in tears
during some domestic calamity, while
the stronger sex were calm and who

A BAD BLIND MAN
Who Had 10 Give Security-General
Martins Ferry Matters.

An incident occurred at the Sherman
House. Yesterday, which came within an
ace OF giving us a sensation. About half
past o'clock two gentlemen, playing the
Blind dodge, accom- panied by a little girl,
called for dinner After eating heartily
they repaired to the office where, after re-
manning some minutes, one Of the men
started out the door, whereupon Mr.. o. u.
Schreiner, the proprietor, asked him about
paving for the dinner received the reply
that Mr.. pointing TO the other blind
(?) NAM would pay. Nothing more was
said by Mr. Screiner about the matter until
the man and child started out, too, when
he asked the man if he had any baggage
and the fellow said he had none. He was
then told that he must pay $l.05, the bill,
being a stranger. The blind man" said
he had no money and Mr.. Schreiner see
ing the affair was lob" told him to
leave his watch for security. This he re.
fused to dc and started, Mr.. Schreiner fol-
lowing him and grabbed hold of his hands
and again demanded the watch. The "b.
m." now became quite mad and gave Mr..
S. a severe cursing, threatening to shoot
him, but finally gave him the watch, and
departed. In less time than We can write
this sentence, he came back and told Mr..
S. he must have the watch or Mr.. S. would
have to lick" him. He got tin your
mind-anG left saying he would have Mr..
S. pulled" Returning about an hour al
forwards he said he supposed settlement
could be effected then, and Mr.. S. SAID it
could if he had the money. He pulled out
the money, paid him, received the watch
and said for two cents he would blow Mr..
SIS heart out, but the genial mine host
still lives and does as good a business as
ever 1t is said this is nothing new for
these parties, as they are in the habit OF
practicing such tricks in Wheeling and
elsewhere.

CAUGHT IN A PULLEY BELT.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
cutting shop OF Hobbs glass house was the
scene of an accident which just missed
being casualty. William Meadows, cut
ter, had climbed upon bench for the pur.
pose OF adjusting the belt on pulley which
turns a beyel wheel. He had just placed
it, when the end of his blouse caught upon
one of the hooks which join the belt. Quick
as thought he was jerked upward, pressed
between two stout timbers which support
the shafting. The blouse was OF heavy
jeans and held firmly, and he was jerked
upward with such force that the clothing
was literally stripped from his body and
himself terribly bruised and lacerated.
He remained doubled up over the timbers
until the machinery was stopped and aid
was extended him. He was then removed
to his home near the sugar refinery, where
medical attention was given.
Besides being terribly cut and bruised
about the head and shoulders, his collar
bone was broken and Dr. Reed, who attend
ed him, feared internal injury. ..-
