Gov. IkuOlt'A Scheme.

Governor Proctor Knott,of Kentucky,
is great story-teller Ii is related that
several days ago an old man, whose son
was sentenced to be hanged, called on
Governor Knott aud begged for the
communication of sentence. "Sit down,
said the Governor "want comm uta-
ton, ell ? That reminds me CT some
thing that occurred in Missouri when l
was u young man. An old mans son,
you see, had stolen watermelon from
a marketer's wagon, and his father de-
cided to whip him. Well, the boy
figured around while, and finally gave
his father half of the fruit as a com
promise. You have heard OF old Major
Wittleson, haven't You? was out to
his house one day not long ago.
Governor, am in a hurry. My
son is to be hanged tomorrow, and un-
less l can do something to-day be will
be lost"

ARem.rksble Recovery.

The condition of John Carling, of
Phillipsburg, N. D., whose breast was
passed over by New Jersey Central
Railroad gondola, on Friday last, has
encouraged his friends and attending
physicians to believe that his recovery
is certain. The accident that Carling
met with is one of the strangest Oh re-
cord. He was in STOPPING position
examining the break beam of the car
when the train started, and in the pres
ence of several railroaders the wheels
passed over his chest. The weight Of
the car was not less than $4,000 pounds.
The marks of the tlanges of the wheels
are plainly visible on his breast. 1t
seems impossible that Carling could
escape being crushed to death, as many
railroad men have been by being
caught in the manner stated. After the
wheels had passed over him, CARING
drew himself from the track and was
soon on his feet. A few minutes later
he walked to the depot, several hund-
red yards distant, and when carriage
came to convey him home, he at first
refused to enter it. Since then he has
paced the floor of his room, eats heartily
and complains of nothing except an
occasional pain from a broken wrist.
Carling is man Of medium height,
weighs about 40 pounds, is about 80
years of age and has a wife and two
children. He says that to crush him
beneath the wheels OF a locomotive, it
will have to pass over him. On Sunday
he was visited by a large number Of
people.

Lord Chief Justice Co!eridge made a
happy allusion to the war of the revo-
