the Board of Supervisors published else
where, the Board ut their last meeting
issued an Older requiring one W. H. H.
McGuffie to support his aged father, or3in
default Of this be required to pay the
County $500 per month. The circum-
stances which led the board to this Just
action, as we are reliably informed, are
briefly these: The father of w. H. II.
McGuffie being unable to longer main
tain himself, but possessing some landed
property Of his own, entered into an
agreement with his son to deed him all
of bis interest in said lands, provided the
son would support him the remainder of
his declining years. Soon after, howev-
er, he had secured his fathers property in
this way, he sent the old man to the poor
house to be supported by the County, and
paid no further attention to the obliga-
ton he had assumed.

duct brands him as q ft yoke-fellow only

CURIOSITIES OF A ROMAN
PRISON.
A Visit to the Dungeons in Which st.
Peter and st. Paul Were Confined.

Rome Letter IN Troy Times
The Mammertine prison consists of two
subterranean dungeons, one below the
other. An old monk with lighted lamp
conducted Us down long flight of stone
steps TO the upper prison. We found our
selves in cold, dark room, built up on
all sides and overhead with enormous
stones. In ancient times the only con-
nectiOu between the upper and lower
dungeons was by a circular hole Just
large enough to admit human body.
Through this opening prisoners were
lowered. to theHdungeOn below. In mod
ern times a stairway has been cut around
through the rock from the upper to the
still more horrible lower prison. No
light of day has ever penetrated that
dark, deep, damp, dismal dungeon. But
the chief interest Of the MammertIne lies
in the tradition that st. Peter and st.
Paul were confined there just before their
martyrdom. Without believing or dis
believing the story, we still get some
idea OF a Roman prison in PauPs day.
In descending the stairs the monk
paused before a rude indentatiOn in the
stone wall, which we could imagine look
ed like the side of a mans head. There
our guide waXed eloquent and said:
This is the impression Of st. Peters.
headl Wien the jdilers were taking the
apostle to the prison below. they rudely-
BuSneu hllA against Tue wall. leaving tnlS
indentatiOn in the solid rOck!" In the
lower dungeon the monk showed us a
spring, and again becoming eloquent ht
said: ''Here Peter preached TO two of his
jaiers until they believed and asked to
be baptized. TBen the apostle touched
the floor and this fountain burst from the
rock; thus by miracle water was furn-
ished for baptism" But, alas for the old
monks story, Plutarch tells us that Ju-
gurtha drank Of this came fountain when
he was in the prison, and that was a Gen.
fury before Peter was born. We tasted
of the water and found il pleasant.

Private Life of Emperor william.
Hnrnet's Mn0nzine

The private life of the Emperor flows
along very simply. When in Berlin he
occupies a comparatively small palace on
the corner of Inter den Linden and the
Opera Place, his presence being made
known to the Berliners by the red flag
with the Landwehr cross, which is then
hOisted over the roof, The window of his
study on the ground floor looks out upon
that point in Inter den Linden where
Rauch's statue of Frederick the Great
stands. Ordinarily the Emperor rises be-
tween and O'Clock in the morning. He
dresses at once completely for the day; the
convenience addressing gown and slippers
is unknown to HIM. The room to wheel
after a slight breakfast, he goes for work
is rather plainly furnished. There is a
mahogany writing table covered with
writing materials of every kind, pack
ages of letters, small presents from men,
bers Of his family, and mementOes of bat
ties In the form OF paper-weigets. Smok-
ing implements tail, for the Emperor is
no friend of tobacco. On a long and
broad table near by lie books. maps. bum
dies of documents, and papers of various
kinds. The Emperor sits at bis work on
an ordinary chair covered with leather,
and receives personally all eOmmunica-
tiOns, opens them himself, writes bis de-
cision on the margin, and hands them to
his Secretary to be dispO sed of. One of his
peculiarities is his economy in the use of
paper and envelopes. In Versailles one
evening he announced q new victory of
the Germans to the Chancellor on piece
of paper which had been torn from let
ter. In Berlin the envelopes which reach
him with reports from the Foreign Office
addressed. 'fo His Majesty the Emperor
go back with the s'tO' erased and ''frOm"
substituted, so that the envelope reads,
''FrOm His Majesty the Emperor" with
''TO the Chancellor written beneath.
The Emperor's extraordinary capacity
for work makes it possible for him TO dis
pose, as a rule, personally Of the affairs
connected with his office. or at least to
direct their disposition in his own way.

A Missouri SNAKE Story.

/ don't like to tell snake stories. fish
tales, or bear scrapes, but, seeing piece
in the Troy Mo- Free Press some time
back concerning black snake roDbing a
hens nest, | was reminded of snake
which / encountered over thirty wears
ago. While l was moving in the meadow
| heard couple of old guinea hens max
ing fearful noise, and upon going u
where they were found that very large
black snake had cOiled itself around the
nest, in which were three eggs. | soon
concluded from his looks that he had been
swallowing eggs, so | took up my now
ing blade and cut his head off pretty well
back to the first egg. Standing upon his
tail with one foot, and pressing his body
with the back of my moving blade, / very
soon landed nineteen eggs, safe and sound,
all in pile. Then with a stick / very
carefully rolled them back into the nest,
making twenty-five in all. The old hen,
after considerable sparring around, went
on the nest again, and in few days came
strutting to the yard with nineteen little
chicks. Upon going back to the nest,
found three eggs which had not Matched,
and they were rotten. / think they were
the eggs which the snake did not swallow.

FEMALE BASE BALLISTS.


Abouk 900 people assembled at
Base Ball Park yesterday afternoon
to witness the feats OF the girls on
the diamond, against a picked nine
of young men OF the city. Had you
called at a doctors, lawyers, sheriff
or register of deeds Office you would
have found them all out on business ;,
and when you went to the grounds
yourself to witness the game you
would have found them all, and /.
great many more, laughing and ap-
plaudiug just the same as if they
were elected. The game was rather
tlresome, from the fact that girls
can't play base ball like men. Hence,
the boys had TO let them have it
their " way. When one OF the
girls would hit a ball and make for
frs; base, a tremendous yell would
80 up and of all the laughing and
punching each other in the sides
among the spectators yesterday was
the worst. The lean man would tall
against the tat man, and the tat men
laughed SO much they finally had to
sit down on the ground to contain
themselves. Really it was no ball
playing so tar as science is concern
ed, but from the novely OF seeing
girls catch, bat, run and throw, it
was very enjoyable. The score stood
in favor OF the girls-24 to 10.
The game vas between a club OF
females from Philadelphia and the
Swit,ioot club Of Raleigh.
