Pleasant Valley Items.

Our quiet little town was thrown into an
excitement on Saturday morning last by the
announcement of the sudden death of Mr.. A. j.
Bankard, who had been very i'll for nearly
four weeks, the last week of which, however,
he appeared to be much better, and it was
thought that he would soon be able to be out
again. when, all of a sudden, he was called
away before any of his children could be sum-
moned except the one with whom he was liv-
ing His remains were inferred on Monday
in Pleasant Valley cemetery. The deceased
was a little over SO years of age, was good
citizen, and highly respected by all who knew
him. He leaves three daughters and a host
of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. j. G. Moss
from LIST Corinthians, 18th chap, SD verse.
We noticed in the american Sentinel a little
before the holidays that the Tyrone cores
pondent for that paper had stuffed a sausage
feet in length, and wanted to know who could
beat it. We would say right here, that Mr..
Jeremiah Zepp can beat it all hollow, as he
made a sausage which measured Al feet and
3 inches long, and he did not have any of the
Tyrone shrinkers to do it WITH either.
Mr.. George w. Yeiser, teacher of the pub
lie school at this place, held a public exam
nation on Friday, the 25th ult., most of the
parents and others being present. The exer-
cises were extended to all the grades, and the
manner in which the pupils answered and the
attention they paid to their teacher proved
the entire satisfaction of all present, and
showed that the school is very successfully
taught. Much credit is due to the grammar,
geography and arithmetic classes, but special
credit to Mr.. Yeisers history class, which is
composed of sixteen pupils, that proved to
the audience that they can enumerate all I'M.
portant events as they occur in the history of
the United States from 1892 to 1881.
The question, (which is the more pleasing
to the eye, art or nature?n will be discussed
at the Pleasant Valley Hall next Thursday
evening, February 21st. j. N. Ditch and M:
W. Webster will speak in favor of art, and
Isaac Sullivan and G. W. Yeiser in favor of
nature.

Dealing i'm Stocks.

One of the most unhealthy effects of
this mania for stocks is the demOraliZa-
ton it has wrought Of private credit.
No legitimate business can afford to pay
such profits as are now and then re-
corded in stock transactions. The luc-
tuations of the market are frequently
ten, twenty, sometimes fifty OF more
per cent. in a month perhaps a day.
The man who was able to forecast all
these fluctuations correctly might legiti-
mately make profits which would render
the fictitious gains of Grant x Ward al
together insignificant. Il noted" said
an old friend who has watched the ebb
and flow of values in Wall street for
many a day, 'the fluctuations Of a GER
tain fancy stock for one year. If a man
had bought always when it was lowest,
aud sold when it was highest, he would
lave made more than a thousand per
cent on his money during that time"
Was there any real change in its
value during that time?' we asked.
Not a cent was the Disguised re-
ply. 1T was just played like a jews
harp for the benefit of a few big hold.

THE CASE.
Approaching Release OF the Claimant on a
kct-Of-l1eave

The Tichborne claimant is to be re-
leased from prison on a ticket~of-ieave.
Roger Charles T~ichhorne, a child born
January 5, 1929, Of an ancient English
Catholic family, was, after his father,
heir to the title and estates of his uncle,
Sir Edward Doughty. He i- known to
have arrived at Valparaiso on June 10.
1873, and having crossed the continent
eastward April 20, 1854, he sailed from
Rio for New York on the Bella, which
was lost at sea. His father succeeded
to the baronetcy March 5, 1858 and died
June II, 1862.
It then passed to the second son, Al
fred Roger being presumed Il be lost,
who died February p, 1866, and was
succeeded by his ~posthnmous son, Sir
Henry Tichborne, born May % in that
year. In 1865 Sir James's widow,
hoping Roger might yet be alive, had
advertised for him in the English and
Australian papers. In 1865 her adver-
tlsement was answered by one Thomas
Castro, q butcher at Wagga Wagga,
Australia, who pretended to be her son,
who asserted that he had been saved
from the wreck of the Bella. After some
correspondence with Lady Tichhorne,
Castro sailed for England, where he ar
rived December %. 1866.
In January, 1867, he joined her at
Paris and was accepted by her as a son,
though most of the other members of
the family rSpudiated him. In March
he filed a bill against the trustees of the
estate and, having been occupied in the
interim in obtaining witnesses and testi-
monv, brought the action for the re-
covcry Of the estates, valued at S24, 900
Il year, to trial May II, 1868. Lady
T~ichhorne had died March II, 1871, still
believing Castro to be her son The
trial lasted at one session 103 days, and,
with adjournments, till March 6, 1872,
when the jurors declared themselves
convinced that the claimant was not Sir
Roger, and he was nonsuited.
The principal points against him were
his ignorance of French, which language
the true Sir Roger spoke admirably, and
of incidents happening during his %
journs in France; the dissimilarity Of
the handwritings of the two men ; their
marked physical differences ; the claim
ants neglect while i'll Australia to avail
himself of the large balances at Sir
Rogers credit, though he was pressed
for money, and his own action in seek
ing out Immediately on his return to
England the Ortons, a family of rather
humble life, to whom he presented him.
self and sent his photograph as Arthur
Orion. The claimant was indicted for
;-rjury as Thomas Castro, otherwise
Arthur Orton," put on trial April %,
1873, and after a trial Of 1873 days dura-
ton, convicted February %, 1874, and
sentenced by Sir Alexander Cockburn to
fourteen years penal servitude.

strikes it against his teeth with the
sound Of a telegraphing Instrument, the
opening and closing of the circuit being
operator, and by means Of coin can tel
egraph words so distinctly that any te-
legrapher can easily read the message.
In this manne he telegraphel fifty

and handed IL the detect We. The two

took down the words as fast as Norris
produced them with the coin. The
message was rapidly sounded and writ

exactly. Mr.. Norris can stand up be-
fore n telephone, and in this novel man
ner telegraph a message which anv te-
~legrapher can read with great facility.
But the most wonderful thing is 10 see
him telegraph with his eyelids. The dots

he can converse without utterinc
