What atmospherical changes? A few
days ago, individuals passing through our
village reminded one in their dress Of the thin
costume of Venus emerging from the waves,
and to-day thick coat, etc, feels quite com
Portable even where dissertations do not hin

Gus with our recent notice Of the Confederate
Cemetery, Messrs. James r. and Walter b.
Langley removed the thick growth Of bushes
intertwined with the poisonous vine familiar
ly know as the ''cOw-itch" from the enclo-

the same. Many thanks are due these gen.

aid. During our visit to said section we

TERRIBLE CRTmE IN wIsooNs1S.
a BOY Murdered Probably to Stop an Cn-
savOrE Scandal.

savOrE Scandal.
PRINCETON, Wis, Nov. 5.--The greatest
excitement prevails here tonight over the
arrest Of Mrs. Ellen Long and Mr.. White
moro on charge of IhurGering Willie White
more, the eleven-year-old boy who was
found In the river Saturday with his throat
cut from ear to ear, A long knife, two
razors and some bloody clothes were found
on Mrs. Longs premises.
1t Is alleged that Whttemore found the
body of his boy at d point which had been
visited daily by other searchers. It is also
claimed that when he went out that morn
ing he had the body In the boat and that it
was found at noon by him just where he
had placed it. The authorities claim to
have evidence proving that the murder was
committed by Mrs. Long and Whittemore,
who bad been, it is said, crlminally intimate
and had arranged 10 elope and had been dis
covered In their intimacy by the boy.
The parties are well connected, and the
horrible crime and the arrests have create
the most intense Indignation. 1t looks very
much as though there wi be lynching here
tonight. There ID the strongest evidence
that the father and his mistress committe d
the flendish murder.

The approac ling celebration of the
400th anniversary of Martin Luther's
birth has brought to light in the German
e the interesting fact that the great
reformer's line is not extinct. as has
generally been supposed, and it is not
likely TO be for generations to come.
Luther left three sons, and It has Otter
been said that their male line was ex-
tinguished early in the last century. But
1t now appears that three are at Clolster
Allendorf on the Vera in Meiningen.
two brothers, Heinrich and Carl Luther
who can prove descent from the great
refOrmer by a genealogical tree, which
has been deposited for safety with a
Leipsic insurance company. Heinrich,
the elder, is a -journevman carpenter
and has six boys, while Carl is studying
theology at Jena. Moreover there even
exists a Luther stipend, from which
each child thrice in his life receives so
tahlers-his first communion, during
apprenticeship and his wedding day.
Carl is being educated from this same
fund. The lives of these simple people
would naturally be expected to be I'M
eventful and even prosaic; but the fami-
ly in those later times has not been
without as true a romance as the court
ship of Martin Luther himself, who in
middle life astounded his friends by
marrying a nun ''to please his father, to
tease the pope and to vex the devil"
The mother of Heinrich and Carl Luth-
er is said to have been the daughter of a
high official at Berlin. The father Was
working at his trade as a mason in the
capital, when the girl fell madly in love
with him, as much apparently
enthusiastic admiration Of all that re-
lated to Martin Luther as
through appreciation of the good
looking young ~journeyman himself.
But the marriage ended less happily
than that Of the great reformer whose
home life was always joyful, and who
loved his "Katy" far "above the king
dom of France or the state Of Venice
The mason's wife was disinherited by
her family and is said to have died in
want and misery.

A Bare-FOOted Groom.

There is a sheep farmer in West Vir-
GINA whose career illustrates the result OF
shrewdness, perseverance and freedom
from debt. His story is told by a Vir-
ginia editor, who says that about twenty
years ago a young fellow named John
son, in the wilds of Cheat Mountains in
West Virginia, made up his mind 10 be
married.
"But you have not a penny" remon-
strated his friends.
"I have my hands. A man was given
one TO scratch for himself, d other
for his wife" he said.
On the day of the wedding johnson
appeared in a whole coat and trousers
but bare-footed.
''This is hardly decent" said the
clergyman. 81 win lend you q pair OF
Shoes"
"No," said johnson; "when 1 can buy
sheOs, l will wear them-not before"
And he stood up to be married with
out a thought Of his feet. The same
sturdy conduct showed itself in his fu-
ture course. What he had not money
to pay for he did without.
He hired himself to q farmer for a
years work. With the money he saved
he bought a couple Of acres Of timber
land and a pair Of sheep, built himself a
hut and went to work on his groIRd.
HIS sheep increased. As time dew by
he bought more; then he sold of the
cheaper kinds and invested in South
down and French Merino.
His neighbors tried by turns raising
cattle; horses, or gave their attention to
experimental farming.
Johnson having ICE found that sheep
raising IN his district brought a hand
some profit, stuck TO it.
He had that shrewdness in seeing the
best way, and that logged persistence
in following It which are the surest ele-
ments of success.
Stock-buyers from the eastern mar,
kets found that Johnson's fleeces were
the finest and his mutton the sweetest
on the Cheat.
He never allowed his reputation tc
fail-the end of which course is, the
man who married bare-footed is now
worth a large property.
