A PARAGRAPH from an Eastern

A PARAGRAPH from an Eastern paper
has received wide circulation. Itcalls
attention to the fact that the day of
editorials is past, and that people no
longer look al the leading Article, but
want 10 read the news in short items
This is all true enough, but the Eastern
man who made this Original obsetya-
ton might be surprised to learn that
Thaekeray in mis- Adventures Of
Philip" predicted The same thing, in
almost the same words: "a whole.
some though humiliating thought it
must be to great and learned public
writer's, that their eloquent sermons
ale but for the day; and that, having
read what the philosophers say ON
Tuesday or Wednesday, we think
about their yesterdays sermons or
essays no more. A score of years
hence, men viii read the papers OF
1861 for the occurrences narrated
births, marriages, bankruptcies, elee-
lions, murders, deaths, aud so forth
and not for the leading articles.

LYNCH Law Hn IA cntucISy.

At Hillsborough, little town i'll the
mountain region of Kentucky, lives Mrs.
Lurctta Mungle, widow, young and
well-to-do. Michael Kelley, a miner, who
is also young and good looking, took a
fancy TO her, which she rcciprocated. He
spent great deal of his time ut her house
when not ut work. This had been noticed
for some time, and some of the ladies of
the town appealed to Mrs. Mungle'S sense
of sclf-rcSpcct. She paid no heed to them.
Then committee of the men visited Kcl-
ley and advised him, but he told them to
mind their OWE business. This was six
weeks ago. Since then the pair have
been together more than they ever were.
On Wednesday night Il body of indignant
citizens, masked and otherwise disguised,
broke into the Munglc house suddenly
after midnight. There they found Kelley
and Mrs. Mungle. In Il jilfy they pulled
Kelley out and also Mrs. Mungle, only
they were a little more gentle with her.
Five minutes later they were dashed naked
to trees in sight of each other, and were
whipped. The mob admonished the vic
tins that they would not be responsible
for their lives if they did not get out of
the county in ten days, and then disap-
pcared.

Love and Suicide.

Two cases of unrequite0 love and suicide
are reported from Vermont. At West
Randolph, Charles Webster, thirty years
old, shot himself through the head on
Sunday evening, dying instantly. lie fell
desperately in love with a young lady
whom he met at the railroad station, and
followed her about for several weeks,
vainly trying to induce her to favor his
suit, and he sat night after night uuder a
tree near the house of a farmer in whose
family she was visiting. A bit of ribbon
cut from the trimming of her dress, slip
ef paper on which she had written few
words and a cotton glove were over his
heart.
The other case Is that of Mrs. Frank
Spaulding, the wife of 9 fireman on the
Central Vermont Railroad, who ended her
life at West Braintree by taking oil of
cedar on Sunday night. She was twenty
eight years old, and was in love with n
man who is said to have spoken with her
but once, and who had no knowledge of
her infatuation.

A Beard All At Once.

A gentleman who formerly resided at
Trenton, Tenn, told an american reporter
of strange freak of nature which came
under his observation there a few years
ago. There was young man of the town
who had long passed the period Of matu-
ritv and who had not a sign of beard on
any portion Of his face. One day he no.
ticed small lump on his neck, few
inches below his chin. At first he paid
little attention to it. The lump commenced
growing, however, till finally it was larger
than large walnut and closely resembled
a wen. The young man went to physi-
clan and asked him to relieve him of the
disfguring growth. The doctor concluded
TO try to remove it with knife. On max
ing an incision the DOCTORS knife encoun-
tered spongy substance, which on exam
ination proved to be nothing less than 4
closely matted and coiled mass Of hair. 1t
seems that The beard which should have
been spread over the young mans face
had concentrated lin this one spot and
grown beneath the skin.
The hair was removed and the opening
soon healed and the strange development
became unnoticeable.

A Rich Railroad.

A writer in the Sunday Capital has this
this to say about the West Virginia Cen
trail Railway:
The West Virginia Central is a very
important enterprise. You will infer as
much when you look at the names of its
managers and principal owners: Ex-Sen-
ator Henry G. Davis, Hon. S. B. Elkins,
ex-Secretary Blaine, ex-senator Window,
ex-senator w. ii. Barnum, Senators Bay
ard, Camden and German, Augustus
Schell, of New York, and Wm. keyscr
and Alexander Shaw, of Baltimore. 1t is
solid business enterprise. The company
owns $1,000 acres of mountain land in
comparably rich in coal, and crowned
with immense forests of valuable timber,
spruce, ash and cherry. Professor Pun
pelly, who prepared the special report on
coal for the census of 1880, estimates that
the coal basins of the West Virginia Cen
trail contain 1900, 000, 900 tons, of which
over ,OO0, 000, 900 tons are excellent work
able bituminous coal all above drainage,
and accessible from the valleys and within
easy reach of the railway.
Two years ago the West Virginia Cen
trail Company began its coal mining by
opening the Elk Garden vein. 1t is the
thickest vein ever worked In this or any
other country-fourteen feet, and extend
ing over an area Of 500 acres. Its yield
thus far is at the rate of 1900, 900 tons to
the acre. This vein is near the top of a
mountain ridge overlooking the beautiful
valley through which runs the north
branch Of the Potomac. Not far from
the three horizontal openings to the vein
is the mining village of Elk Garden, with
its 2 900 inhabitants and its churches and
school and post-office. All this is the de-
velopment of two years. The company
will next year produce 100000 tons. The
coal is run from the mines down the
mountain on an incline and dumped in
the railway coal cars at trfling expense,
aud is hauled in long trains thirteen miles
down grade to Piedmont. Thence it is
distributed by the Baltimore and Ohio.
This is but the beginning of enterprises
which will put millions into the Golfers of
the West Virginia Central. Already the
buzz saw is heard along the line of the
railway, and the great forests of splendid
timber will soon be heavily assessed
for the benefit of the company. There
are reasons for predicting that the West
Virginia Central is destined to be part Of
a great trunk line from the East to the
South.

srcs. half-pound of flour, one and halfcup
Of milk, one teaspoonful of baking pow
der. Beat the yolks very lightly, add the
sugar to the yolks, then add the milk; add

PRESSED CaKE.-One and half cups OF
sugar, half cup of butter, halfcup OF sweet

cups of -four. TO one-third Of this mix
ture add one cupful of chopped raisins,
one teaspoonful of cloves aud one of nut
meg. Make two cakes white, with one of
brown between. Put together with FROST
ing.
For A COUGH.-A great many people
never fail at this season of the year to
suffer from colds and coughs. Here is
simple remedy for a cough and no doubt
good one: To cure a cough roast lemon
very carefully without burning it; when
it is thoroughly hot, cut and squeeze into
cup upon three ounces of sugar, finely
powdered. Take spoonful whenever
your cough troubles yOu. 1t is as good as
it is agreeable to the taste. Rarely has it
been known to fail of giving relief.
SHEEP FARNING.-Despite the constant
attention which is called to the value of
sheep, not only as improvers of the land,
but as profitable farm animals, for wool
and mutton, there are many farmers VINO
have never raised or kept single sheep,
though their farms are adapted to raising
sheep largely and profitably. Why this is
we cannot imagine, for facts and hSures
eau be had by the score to prove the profit
aSleness Of sheep breeding, if necessary,
and abOut the only drawback in many To-
calites is the loss occasioned by dogs.
MSny rough, wOrnout or neglected farm
might be brought up rapidly and be made
paying land, by breeding sheep thereon,
Z the manure from the sheep is one of
ia, most enriching OF manures, and Is
ec<aly, finely distributed. OF course they

the profit 90, hsesdcr in two ways-it
not only insures good and profitable
growth of flesh and wool, but it makes the
manure richer and more valuable. Even
poor farmers can give sheep trial by
commencing i'll Il small way, and then, as
means and experience are gained, the
ilockS can be gradually increased by pur-
chases, though the natural increase from
a small flock of sheep is by no means i'll
considerable, if properly managed and
cared for as they should be. Like any
other stock, they must have good care and
food TO secure the greatest measure of
profit. Farm and Garden.
