AN EXP0SER EXPOSED.
The Tribune Reporter as a Dis
cOverer of Fraud.

Editors Herald:
In Sundays Tribune read the expose
of the Georgia wonder, showing up the
fraud practiced upon so large and intel

present at the Theatre on SATURDAY

tbe mower or invention, TO show up the
cause of the manifestations exhlblted;
except by what he terms the science OF
leverage. and to make his ideas more
solid he quotes Archlmedes 70 paCA

skilled in the sciences of astronomy,

optics, and has made many wonderful
discoveries in these sciences; - amongst
them was that of this leverage power
where he undertook to show King

effects of mechanic power by drawing
towards him with perfect ease a galley
which lay on the shores manned and
loaded by the help of ropes and puHeys,

the smart Aleck of our day. There are
reporters with brains and reporters

that Utah is too much pregnated with
the latter class, more noise than sohd
substance, a kind of a weather cock
around a scientific pole. 1 should

direction in so short time as one day,

"Great Heavens what do I see?
Valescoe is to be executed at this spot,
and I, unhappy man, am to order his
execution"
His mind was quickly made up.
That night, when darkness came like a
funeral pail over the blue sea and shut
out the light, Forbes, Mr.. and Mrs. Va
lescoe, and Abdullah lowered them
selves into boat and made good their
escape.
In England Capt. Forbes is now
enjoying the society of his lovely

WILL REMEMBER THEE.
BY VIOLA E. SMITH.

will remember thee;
Dear love ofearly years, in mem'rys halls
Thy form | ever see;
And through its corridors thy soft voice calls,
Full sweet and lovingly;
Around each scene of yore that comes to me-
Clings like perfume rare, some thought OF
thee.
will remember thee
What time the sun, forth from his nightly prison,
Ascends triumphantly;
And when the moon with silver light is risen,
Riding all gloriously,
I IL 10y to gaze upon its tranquil lace,
And think perhaps, thou, too, It's course may
trace.
And when alone stray
Adown some shady path where merrly
We roamed on many day,
Each flower and leafet seems instinct Win tnee
Though thou art far away;
And spurning ali distance that divides,
still, in fancy, inger at thy SIDE.
will remember thee;
And when before our Fathers throne In prayer
humbly bow the knee,
I'll ask for thee all blessings rich and rare,
AS thou, too, dost for me;
So NAV be God who notes the sparrow even,
Shall write our names together up in Heaven.
In that bright land none die;
No hopes are crushed, no hearts lie bleeding
there,
Nor ever heaving sigh
Is heard, and ne er upon the ambient air,
Trembles that word ''good-by."
Therefore will 1 await with patient heart
The day when we shall meet, no more to part.

Wendell Phillips and the Negro.

Mrs. Cakes Smith in the Philomathean Review.l
1 was on my way to lecture at Salem,
Mass, and Mr.. Phillips, who was &C.
companying me, told me of an incident
which befell him once on that very
route. The abolition excitement was
intense. In the car with him was a
young colored man by the name of
Raymonde, who was to speak with Mr..
Phillips at Salem. AS the two entered
the Car they were met with Kisses that
soon became yells "a white gentleman
arm in arm with niger! The tumuIt
at the station had made Raymonde turn
ashy pale. They were seated side by
side. The cars were so crowded that
the women were fainting with terror.
At length came the cry, "Pitch the Mig
ger off the train!' when the conductor
told Mr.. Phillips that he must let it be
understood that the young man was his
servant or there would be no way to
save him. Mr.. Phillips said to me,
That would be very repugnant to me,
as being false, and the young man was
intelligent and cultivated, but I saw
that it was matter of life and death.
I had risen and laid my hand" contin-
ued Mr.. Phillips, on Raymonde's
shoulder, determined to protect him,
but the conductor cried out, The man
is the servant of the gentleman, and
has right to go with him on the cars
This seemed to quiet the Infatuated
mob. Thank God! those terrible days
are over "

Letters Long On Their Way.
From the Lynchburg vireinian.


Mrs. Charles M. Blackford, of this
city, yesterday received letter from
her husband, written a few days before
Gen. Lee evacuated Richmond. Mr..
Blackford was then an officer in the
Confederate Army. The letter came
from Washington with the compliments
of the officer in charge of the Confed
crate archives, and the hope that it h.d
lost none of it's interest by the delay.
A short time since Mr.. Blackford had
more singular experience in the Same
line. Mr.. Roland d. Buford, of Liber
ty, sent him a letter directed to Launce
lot Minor, Thomson's Cross Roads
Louisa County, stating that it had beer
lying in box in the old post-ofice at
his fathers (Mr. Paschal Buford) for
many years, and that as Mr.. Blackford
was related to the Minors he could give
it such direction as would send it at
least to the next of kin. Mr.. Blackford
opened the letter, and found it was
written in October, 1910, by William
G.. Minor, son of the gentleman TO
whom directed and a brother of
Prof. John B. Minor, of the University
of Virginia. The writer was then q
young man, on his way to settle in Ala
bama, where he afterward became an
eminent physician. The letter was
written at Buford's Tavern, then kept
by Mr.. Roland Buford's grandfather,
and described the country, and gave
the observations of a young man seeing
it for the first time. Some cause pre-
vented its going, and it remained in the
post-ofice IA years. A grandson of
the writer, Mr.. w. Minor Lille, has re-
Gently moved from Alabama to this
city, and opened law Office near Mr..
Blackford's, and the letter was handed
to him in lieu of his great-qrandfather
to whom it was directed and who has
been dead 40 years.

THE GOAT AND THE HAT.

A goat stood by the orchard wall
A goat serene and fat:
He spied little distance off
On the ground a white felt hat,
ana IN J1fty swallowed it whole.
And his heart went pit-a-pat.
Then joyfully on his hinder limbs
He assumed a butful pose,
Then stood in gentle reverie
Like bard in a popped doze.
And wiggled his tail and blinked his eves
And twisted his purple nose.
"Oh, l can the boot and the oyster can
And the old hoop-skirt digest"
Just then he jumped ten feet off the ground
With a motion of vague unrest
He suddenly felt that the white felt hat
Was raging hornets nest.

Verdict for Defendant.
from the Burlington Hawkeye.l

GEORGE. SAID MS 1aGner, with q
countenance more in sorrow than in
anger. George, some one has cut
down my favorite cherry tree. Do you
know anything about it,"
Young Washington did not quail be-
fore his fathers accusing glance, He
looked him straight in the eye, and an
expression of honest resolution cleaned
in the clear eyes and frank coun-
tenance.
"My father" he said, ST will not de-
ceive you. do know something about
it, but that is not the issue at all, You
have, in effect, charged me with be-
ing privy to the destruction of your
favorite tree. Now, the question is,
since you have fled the information
and laid the charge against me, what
about it?"
ST know that you have a Ratchet
replied his father sternly. st know
what boy with Ratchet is liable to
do, I know that some one has cut down
my favorite cherry tree"
stop right there" interrupted the
future father of his country. "You say
this was your tree?
"How came it yours?
ct planted it."
snow, sir, are you certain it was no.
on this farm before you came here?"
"No sir, it was not"
"Then why did you say SOP"
"Why did I say what?"
"That's right; evade, bubble, crawl
out of it somehow. All right. If you
don't want to answer fair, plain, simple
question you don't have to-"
'But I didn't say it was on the farm
when [ came here"
ooh well, father, don't get excited
and talk loud. You may go back on
your entire statement if you wish. Per
haps you will next try to make us be-
lieve that this farm wasn't here, either,
when you came"
"Why, of course II was here. / don't
Didn't you say moment ago that It
wasn't?" :.
"That was the tree"
"Ah, yes, you turn it eff on the tree
now. You've been talking about the
tree all this time then?"
"Why, certainly [ have"
"Then you just admitted that it was
here when you came here?"
''No my son; that was the farm"
"But not half dozen questions ago
you admitted that. You said in these
very words, why, of course it was
here did you not?"
II said in those words, but I was
speaking of the farm"
"And yet you said but this very mo-
ment that all this time you had been
talking about the tree. It is useless
to continue this examination. My
father, of all human vices lying is the
commonest, and I doubt not it is the
worst. It blunts our moral sensibili-
ties, it leads us to distort and exaggerate
simple statements of fact; it blurs our
powers of intelligent observation, I'M
til even man of ordinary scholarship
and intellectual development is unable
to tell whether he is talking about a
farm Or tree. The complaint is dis
missed. I doubt very much if you can
even establish the fact that you ever
owned cherry tree. Go to the nurs-
cry, and if you intend planting tree
in place of the one you have lost, you
had better take man with you to show
you the ground, lest you might plant
the tree in your hat. You may CO."
Sadly the old man turned away, but
he told the man who helped him plant
the new tree that if he had hundred
boys he wouldn't let another one OF
them study law.
