The following story is told of an
English nobleman, recently deceased:
The Duke was once in church when
a collection was announced for some
charitable object. The plate began
to 90 round, and the Duke carefully
put his hand into his pocket and took
out florin, which he laid on the
pew before him, ready TO be trans
ferred to the plate. Beside him sat a
little snob, who, noticing this action,
initiated it by ostentatiously laying a
sovereign alongside the ducal form.
This was too much for his grace, who
dipped his hand into his pocket again
and pulled out another form, which
he laid by the side of the first. The
little snob followed suit by laying
another sovereign beside the first
His grace quietly added third flor
in, which was capped by third SOW
ereign on the part of the little snob
Out came a fourth form to swell
the Dukes donation, and then thu
little snob triumphantly laid three
sovereigns at once upon the board
The Duke, not to be beaten, produces
three florins. Just at this momen
the plate arrived. The little snoI
took up his handful of sovereign:
ostentatiously ratified them into tn
plate, and then turned defiantly to
ward his rival as if he would sa!

Duke, with a grim smile, put on
form into the plate and quietly swer

The Sun Turns Green in India


Calcutta Cor. London Times.
A remarkable phenomenon has
been observed lately at several places
in the Madras and Bombay Presiden-
cies, and has caused much interest
mingled with not a little alarm
among the superstitious. For some
days the sun presented distinctly
green color. Several explanations
have been put forward, of which the
most plausible appears TO be that Of
fered by the Government Astronomer
that it is due to the passing across

1t is now pretty well settled that
the GAINESVILLE and Princeton rail
road will pass between Hopkinsville
and Cadiz, twelve miles from the
former, and eight miles from the lat
ter. The line is now being surveyed and
will pass through the farm ofMr. H..
Ii. Bryant near the line of Christian
and Trigg counties and will pass by
the Dunkerson place to Cerulean
Sp'gs and on TO Princeton. These are
the calculations, but an "If the road
is built" will stalk in like Banquo's
ghost and upset them occasionally, in
the minds of many doubling Thorn
asses. 1t is claimed by the advocates
of the road that the cars will be run
ming in twelve months.

Gladstone and the County Seat.

On the banks of the beautiful Heart
river, ten miles east of here, is lc-
Gated the quiet little village of Glad
stone. Some few weeks 9 the coun-
ty was organized. Before the organi.
zation the liberal citizens of this en-
terprising q village had called amee.-
ing, signed Il petition and forwarded
1T TO the Governor. asking for IL coun-
ty organization, and in that petition
recommended the anne of three gen
tlemen for appointment as commits
Sloners. In their spirit of libcralitv.
which is so manifest to other parts OF
the county. they did not wish to TO-
more Taylor. Richarlton ana Dickin-
son. hut It's there were only three COM
misslontrs to appoint, and they conl,
not supply all the towns in the county.
and leave Il liberal share for them
selves. they concluded to name three
Gladstone men for the appointment.
and make the steal" as big us possi-
BILE. III the scheme had worked as
they desired every officer from COM
missioner down would have been ap-
pointed in their town. On the other
hand the citizens of Dickinson signed
Il petition for the organization of the
county. and forwarded it to the Gov.
ernor, without recommending N
persons for appointment as comms-
sioners. What Was the result f!
Dickinson got two commissioners and
Gladstone one. The county was or
ganlZed. -Four of the officers were
appointed from Gladstone and seven
from Dickinson. Still the citizens OF
Gladstone are not satisfied. They
went in for "wlole hog or none"
The result of this whole matter is
that their jealousy is cropping out in
the most selfish manner 10y calling the
citizens of Dickinson roughs, thieves
ana other names. which. coming from
such a moral town, would shame the
Devil and cause his hardened checks
to blush. We are in possession of Il
letter from Ii of the citizens of
Gladstone. who, in ordering his adj
vertisement out of the Press. saws he
docs not went any thing to- do with
any one except square men and not
dead BEATS and that he had been
''beat enough by Dickinson men," vet
after all this he ome up here solicit
ing business from our citizens. The
only man who beat him was formerly
OF Gladstone and always claimed it as
his home. Such a feeling as this on
the part of the citizens of that town
is only calculated to injure themselves
as we are sure it will not harm the
citizens of Dickinson, who are as GOOD
morally and every other way as those
OF amy town along the line. Gladstone
not excepted. The sooner the had
feeling down there is laid aside. the
better it will be for all concerned and
when you can do this we will gladly
join hands with you and push forward
with the one great object in view. the
upbullding OF IL prosperous co:llty in
this grand and glorious country. and
i'll making it II where harmony and
peace prevail.
