The Luck of the Hebrew.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal
 About two years ago, while trip to the West, he had occasion to go to St. Louis, where he stopped for several days on busi- ness. While passing along the, street one afternoon, he found himself before an auc- tion house where large amount of unclaim- ed merchandise, commonly known as the ssold horse," was being sold to the highest bidder by an express company. Attracted more by curiosity than desire to make any investments, he entered the store, and after standing idly by during the disposal of sev eral packages, suddenly took notion to try his luck. Two substantial pine boxes, each about eighteen inches square and foot deep and addressed to "Henry G. Townsend, St. Louis, Mo-" were on the block. They bore the card of the express company, on which it was stated that they had been sent from Gunnison, Col, by George P. Somerville, and that they contained quartz The com mercial evangelist, hearing 8 bid of $1 for both the boxes, raised it twenty-five cents. His opponent went him 8 quarter better, and so the game see-sawed until finally the Louis vile man captured the boxes at $2.7 He had them removed to his hotel, and upon opening them discovered that they were full of gold and silver bearing quartz, but of WlaG rlCln0SS ne could not Gell. b0IOT0 ne left St. Louis he shipped the boxes to this city, and after his return had his father, who is something of scientist and considerable of mineralogist, crush the quartz and put it through the proper process to test its bear ing qualities. It was found that the quartz was extremely rich in both gold and silver, and whoever owned that property from which it came had bonanza.
 Several months later the drummer found himself again in St. Louis, and he made some inquiries concerning Townsend, to whom the boxes had been consigned He found him to be worthless sort of fellow, who cared for nothing but enough to eat and drink from day to day. He owned part of the claim from which the quartz had come, and was willing to sell it for 8 mere song. It had | never been worked, he said, and he didn't suppose it amounted to much. Somerville 1 was dead and Townsend had never had the means to go out and look up the property. 1 The drummer went then to Colorado, found 1 the claim as described in the White Elk mountains, northwest of Gunnison, and fn-
 ally purchased the property, in conjunction with friend who was located at Gunnison. l They had but little money with which to be- gin operations the claim was hard to reach, l and for a year or more they did but little in 1 developing the lead. Recently, however | they have made better progress, and letter
 received last Wednesday by the drummer | from his partner announced that their claim l was of inestimable value and enough ore hae l already been taken out to make them botf 1 rich men, The fortunate commercial touris | is confident that he will soon be Croesus
 and that it will not be long until he can cas- i the gripsack aside forever.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We are always glad to note signs of pro- gress in the South. The Oxford Mississippi Eagle thus screams: "No more ballot-box stufing except in cases of absolute necessity"
 "Only pansy blossom" The advocates of the bill to pension everybody who volun- teered or was drafted into the Union army during the war claim that it will add 'fon1y S57, SOC, 900" to the annual pension list, which has lately cost about $1O0, 900, 900 year.
 Sam Jones, the "evangelist'' who is work ing in the South, does not hesitate to say what he thinks. Here is choice specimen: Everybody-lawyers, doctors, merchants, judges, mayors. tell you, when the great willipus waIlopus of Christianity passes over humanity it levels all alike"

This will leave his | family in very comfortable circumstances, and it is not probable that any Ferdinand

 The new pension agent for Ohio, G. H. Barger of Coshoeton, was captain in the battle of Cedar Creek. On the morning of the fight he had his company drawn up in line, and while the guns were already sounding, a leave of absence, for which he had applied before, was handed to him. Without word he took the paper, left his command in the line of battle, and went to the rear, and was never seen in the army again. He was dishonorably dismissed for this action, but after the war, by political influence he got the record changed and a discharge was granted him. He has now been appointed as pension agent by the Dem- ocratic administration as 8 reward for polit- ical services in behalf of the Democratic party, .displacing General Wyckoff, brave and patriotic soldier. This is not as it should be. 
 Dr. Baer, the chief physician of the Platz- ensee prison, has just published some inter esting statistics concerning the drinking hab- it in Germany. They show that drunken ness is very prevalent and is rapidly increas- ing in that country. In 1880 there were about 200, ,000 places in Prussia alone where 'thard" liquors were sold, against less than 120,000 in 1869. Ten years ago, on aver age every adult German was in the habit of drinking four glasses of alcoholic liquors every day, and the average is much higher now. Dr. Baer's investigations show that the use of spirits has almost gone out of fashion among the upper and well-to-do classes, so that the drinking habit is largely confined to artisans and workingmen who can least afford it, and to whom it is most fatal. It is pleasant to know, however, that as yet German women are comparatively free from this vice.

BY THE CARSON"

In sketch No. the reader was taken
from the northeast corner of the town,
round Lowell Lake, through Thomp-
sonburg, North Derry, over Stowell
and Arnold hill, leaving off at the South
village. Names of some of the first set
tiers were mentioned as we journeycd,
hoping at some future day we might
learn something more Of their pioneer
lives, while making homes for their d e
cendants.
The Parson we'll remembers many
other good men and women, who were
carly settlers of the town; among whom
he would mention Jones, Richardson,
Pierce, White, Whitman, Wait, Stuart,
Harrington, Smith the tinker, Hobart,
Atwood, Parker, Reed, Stevens, Davis,
Rhoadcs, Abbott aud Others.
In this sktch be proposes to mention
the names OF Joseph and Sally. The
former was born 10 Jeffrey, n. H., Jan.
1885, where he for many years lived.
He was defendant of Joseph as far
back as we have been able to trace;
whether he came from the house of JO-
seph who was once sold into Egypt, or
some othor tribe, lie cannot say, but his
name was Joseph. Sally was born il
the year 1889, in the town of East SUD
bury, Mass. Her fathers name was
John, and here again he is in doubt
whether she decended from John the
Baptist or some other tribe, but suffice
it to say his sir name was Tilton. Sally
lived with her father until about ten
years of age when they removed to JEFF
frey, n. II. Joseph and Sally lived
with their parents until 1911. when they
united in marriage, and in the year fol-
lowing moved to tie tl.cn new town of
Derry, Vt. Previously Joseph had
purchased land south of West River
adjoining land Of Levi Jones, Oil the
south, and had caused to be cut a space
OF sufficient size in the the wilderness,
on which to erect Il house. At this time
there was a saw mill, and think
grist mill at So. Derry, but no road fur
Their south than the house of Levi Jones.
With no road, cart or wagon on which
