The MAN WHO BETRAYED PRES

The MAN WHO BETRAYED PRESI-
DENT JOHNSON AND CAUSED GREAT
Buck Lewis died last
night, after brief illness. Lewis was
at one time the body servant of Andrew
j Johnson, when that distinguished Ten
nesseean was president of the United
states, and created quite a sensation in
Washington about that time by reveal
lag some OF the great commoner' 5 pri-
v.lte affairs to the presidents enemies.
Tl.- vas done while the great inn
peachnl, Mt trial was going on, and
vi Il. =. vas told became the ruling SEN
sation OF the hour. and was common
theme for speculation during many
months following. President Johnson
discharged Lewis at that time.
Lewis las since frequently suffered
great want, and he tod friend of his
that President Johnson's words. when
he discharged him, had often come to
his mind during his niisfortunes. The
words referred to by Lewis are these
Take this 800 bill and go where you

my confidence for less than l have often
given you without asking. All that

suffer as much as you have caused me

THAT ALLEGED BUFFALO SCANDAL -
a committee of the independent rcpubi
cans OF Buffalo, Governor Cleveland
home, have just addressed 'To the In
Republicans Of the Nation"
a report Of an examination of certain un-
savory stories about Mr. Ccveland's phi
vate life.
The committee say that ''no such cx
animation would be necessary to satisfy
ourselves for although they have until
now been, politically, Mr.. Cleveland's
opponents, we are able to speak from
personal knowledge, As his acquaintauccs
of long standing, and to say hat his gen
eru private life has been that Of quiet
orderly, self respecting and always highly
respected citizen They further say
that the general charges of drunkenness
and gross immortality which are lnade
against Governor Cleveland are absolutely
false, and the same conclusion, in lam
guage equally strong, is offered regard
ing the alleged seduction, abduction aud
ill-treatment in a much talked of woman
case. They declare that the said alega-
tions were first publicly made in Buffalo
bv newspaper of 20 standing whatever.
We have twice called upon the editor of
this paper and asked him TO produce his
proofs the names, dates and other par
ticulars which he had publicly stated he
was at liberty to show. He declines to
do 50 or to facilitate investigation into
the truth Of either his own charges or
those contained in the Anonymous letter
which he published. He admitted that
he had no evidence to support any accusa-
ton against Governor Cleveland except
in the one instance to which we have
particularly referred. He rested his case
on that story, and as to that story he il
contradicted by the witnesses having per.

Interesting TO Tobacco Growers

We wish 10 impress the fact upon
every one that there is great deal
more 10 close attention than science. IN
curing Tobacco. aud that ones good
Judgment must often be his guide re-
gardless Of all rules OF recipes given by
the experienced There are aS many
different methods Of curing a. there are
kinds of lands upon which T"batco
grows. The lighter aud yellowcr the
tobacco grows upon the hill the faster
it can be cured Heavier growth re-
qulres slower heat and more careful at
tention.
Tobacco should be ho.sted IN the
barns as soon as possible after cut from
the hill. even before il falls or willis.
BY this means it will not bruise and will
cure much better. Sticks should be
placed to inch apart upon tile Tier
poles and from 6 to 8 plants on each.
For curing tobacco that has gro,cn fnc
and uclioo on the kiU.-C Commence YOUR
heat at from 90 to 100 degrees TO vel
low the Tobacco and stand at this for
25 to 80 hours, then raise your heat 5
degrees every 2 hours until you reach
l30 degrees. Stand at this II to Is
hours, then raise heat ) de .rees per
hour until $50 is reached. Stand at this
hours then raise heat TO ten degrees
an hour until 1SO degrees an hour until
$50 degrees is reached, and remain until
stem and stalks are thoroughly cured
For curing large tobacco = Commence
heat at 90 and on up to a 100 aud al the
latter stand for 80 to 30 hours or until
the tobacco is sufficiently yellowcd to
cure, (this you can tell by the appear
ancc of the middle leave on the stalks
on bottom tiers J Then move up your
heat from one to two degrees each hour
until you reach | % to- l3O. Stop then
until the leaves and stems are cured on
the bottom tiers, then 90 UP three
degrees each hour until 80 is reached
then 20 from 5 TO 8 degrees each hour
until $50 is reached and at this point
cure stems and stalks thoroughly.
Should your Tobacco get INTO "A sweat
while curing, as is frequently the case
when it has great deal of sap in it.
throw open the door and continue heat
until il dries OIL
After your I obacco is cured and your
fire is taken out, put wet wheat straw
or green bushes in the barn until the
Tobacco becomes sufficiently moist to
be taken down, coop it down in your
pack house or barn, with plank floor.
until ready for stripping and classlng.
When stripped it should be carefully
classed and smoothly handled and the
bundles hung upon sticks, coop down or
hang up to dry out. Six to eight leaves
should be put in each bundle.

The Lovers HotIy Pursued and
Shots Exchanged.

Miss Susie Wells, the daughter of 5.
5. Wells. banker in Georgetown Ken
tucky, had been for several davs the
guests of Mrs. James Thomas. the wife
OF one of the vealthicst citizens of Bour
bon county. At social gathering Mr.
Melton Smith. of Georgetown, an EN-.
ploye of $. 5. Wells, was present. There
was a rumor that there had been love
affair between Mr.. Smith aud his employ
er's daughter, but that was all, and their
conduct when together attracted no at
tentiOn. On Sunday afternoon party of
ladies' and gentlemen, friends OF Miss
Wells, met at the residence of Mrs.
Thomas. 1t was proposed TO take a car
rage ride, and party consisting Of Miss
Wells, Miss May Thomas, Mr.. Milton
Smith, and another friend assented. Ac-
cordingy the party started for drive to
Millersburg, eight miles distant.
After driving short distance past
Milersburg, Miss Thomas was astounded
at the proposition that they continue
their ride to Aberdeen, the Gretna Green
in Ohio, and there assist in the marriage
ceremony of Miss Wells and Mr. Smith
Miss Thomas objected strenuously, and
leaped from the carriage and made her
way on foot to Millersburg, where con-
yeyance was procured to carry her to
Paris. Her story created CONSERVATION
at her home. Mrs Thomas enlisted the
assistance of Mr.. Albert Aiair, Mr.. Ed
NIppert and Mr.. Horace w. Wilson, who
speedily procured arms and carriage,
and, accompanied by Mrs. Thomas. start-
ed in pursuit. The distance to Millers-
burg was rapidly covered, where they
learned that the eloping party were only
few miles ahead. Lashing the horses
into wild gallop, they continued the
pursuit, and sooD learned that Miss Wells
and her lover had changed vehicles and
were ahead in light buggy, while her
two Georgetown friends brought up the
rear in the carriage. The pursuing party
rapidly closed upon the fugitives, and
soon after dark were in hailing distance
of the hack To their command to halt
they were advised to keep away or blood
would be shed. MIR. Ed. Nippert drove
his carriage faster, and when the pur-
suers were within few rods of the fly
ing hack the sharp crack of a revolver
broke the Stiffness Of the night, and soon
volley was being fired by both sides.
The bullets whistled thick and fast
through the darkness, but did no harm
except few slight wounds to the horses.
BY this time Mrs. Thomas, thoroughly
frightened. beseeched Messrs. Nippert,
Adair and Wilson to give up the pursuit.
and they did so. After the cessation OF
firing on the part of the pursuers. the
flying hack rapidly sped on its way and
soon joined the eloping couple. who, it is
supposed, are now man and wife.
