MISS KELLOGG's FIRST SONG.
She Frightens Her Mother by

Bassett House in Birmingham for a
week, having arrived unannounced on
Saturday. Mrs. Kellogg is good deal
out of health, though conValescing

The Ansonia Sentinel interviewed the
mother of the great songstress and
says there will soon be biography of
Miss kellogg written by Mrs. Kellogg.
The circumstances attending the
singing of her first song by Miss KEEL

Louise was but nine mouths old.
We had just buried little one in the
South and had fed northward to
escape the infection Of a disease there

MARK TWAIN IN COURT.
An Interview TO Which Captain
&C. Duncan Seems TO Have
Taken Exceptions.

An Elmira special says: Mark
Twain came down from lis QuarrS
Hill farm yesterday in response to a
summons to attend upon commission
in the suit at law between Captain 0.
0. Duncan of New York and the
Times. The suit is for an alleged
libel contained in an interview pur-
porting to have been held with Mark
Twain by reporter of the Times. The
interview did not refer to Captain
Duncan in the most complimentary
way. Mr.. Twain had two lawyers with
him.
Mr.. Twain sat very composedly in
an arm chair, occasionally putting at
his cigar. He gave his answers in
that calm and deliberate manner for
which he is so admired. He held a
slip which contained the alleged libel,
and went over it, sentence by sentence,
almost line by line, telling what he
had said and what he had not said.
He confessed that he had used the
expression animated hatulence," but
not in the sense as set forth by the re
port. In fact, there was very little in
the interview that Mr.. Twain would
father. Some of the expressions used,
he said, were entirely fictitious. He
was an exoursionist on the ship Quaker
City, that went to the Holy Land
among other places, and Capt. Duncan
was the presumed captain OF the craft.
He thought that Capt. Duncan on one
or tive occasions had not used the au.
thority that he was entitled to use
He did not remember that he
had ever used the term "bead
waiter" in connection with Capt Dun.

A cnaTAIN paper, who'll shaIl be

A CERTAIN paper, which shall be
nameless, and has been coming to
this Office many years, has never con-
tanned more than two or three original
items that we could possibly consider
worth republishing. Year after year we
have watched and watched in vain.
How the regular readers who take no
other paper can live on such fodder
without taking intellectual hollow
horn is more than we can understand.
We have cut this paper off the ex>
change list times without number.
But it is no use; the editor sends his
paper on the same, publishes stunning
puff or two about the LEDGER and
writes to us privately that is the best
paper in the United States, that he
cannot get along without it in his
Office or his family. This touching ap.
peal secures the desired result. The
Rams Horn of Constitutional Liberty
goes back on the list, We still spend
several hours, perhaps days, per an
mum going over the columns of this
great organ and have become educated
to such point that the discovery of
real live local paragraph in it would
justify lengthy obituary on the death
of that country editor. Still that
paper lives and its editor takes in

subscriptions. He seems to be happy

A Fort Worth special says: An or
rest was made which has created quite
sensation here among a number Of
citizens who lived formerly inst. Louis.
About two weeks ago young man
who proved to be D. A. January, ir.,
son Of D. A.January, the widely known
grocery merchant of St. Louis, came
here and was to become one of a party

telegram January obtained the amount

he went to the clothing house Of
Murphy & Damman, presented the
telegram and got goods to the amount
Of $50. When the last order was
presented the bank payment was
refused, the cashier saying he had
already paid the order. Mr.. Damman
at once notified officers, who found
young January coming out of a gamb-
ling house. When he was arrested
January seemed greatly surprised, but
finally understood the matter, when
he sent number Of kilograms to st.
Louis for aid Bail was refused until
a preliminary examination could be
had on the charge of forgery and
swindlin Z, and January was lodged il
Jail. In a conversation January says
be is.a brother of Jesse January, who
died in st. Louis recently, and that
he is worth, in his own name,
100000.
Several gentlemen who are lately
from st. Louis identity him as a son
of D. a. January, and say that if he
has not been cut off in the will Of
his father he must be worth thous-
ands of dollars. The arrest is

CINCINNATI, August &c, The an

the two Buildings connected with it,
built expressly for such purposes, be-
gins September 9th and continues un-
til October 7th. The character of the
exhibition is already determined,
placing it high in the listo those sue

Quoted by men whose only motive is
zeal for the public good and whose
only pay is public approval. The
expenses are guaranteed by public
subscription, aud no dividends are
due to anybody. This method has
been found to be satisfactory in
every way. The full capacity of the
great buildings has been already taken
by exhibitors. Notable features of
the coming Exposition will be the dis
play OF manufacturing Industries, 4
and art. In the latter
much space will be given to decorative
art The opening day will be made
attractive by the efforts OF the order
