Tough, hut He Had t. stand 1t.

Everybody knows Mr.. Sturgiss, that
genial, whole-souled fellow of the
Emerald mine, and will appreciate
the vein OF humor that ia in his COM
position. A few days ago he extended
an invitation to Mr.. Shaughnessy, of
the Billiard Parlors, and several other
friends, to take dinner with him on
the hill on Christmas day and enjoy
an excellent pot-pie. The invitation
was accepted, and yesterday as jolly
a crowd rs ever graced frontier resi-
dsnce assembled at Mr.. Sturgiss' house.
After the deem served and everything
was ready, Mr.. Sturgiss asked Mr..
Shaughnessy to take the post OF honor
at the head of the table and do the
carving. Mr.. S. readily accepted the
honor conferred upon him and, after
securing a set of carvers, started in to
dissect q mammoth pot-pie, upon
which all eyes we're fsasting. He
made a plunge in the center, through
the well-baked crust and started his
knife back towards the side Of the
pan, but the knife woulI not 90. Mr..
S. then used all his strength, and the
sweat was starting out in beads upon
his forehead, when, with one mighty
effort, he gave his knife wrench and
tore the whole cover off the pie, which
was found to contain nothing but q
few pieces of dough and water. He
then examined the cover of the pie
and found that Mr.. Sturgiss had taken
an old pair of overalls and had
stretched the seat of them tightly
across the pan and then cut hole in
the center, where he knew Mr.. Shaugh.
messy would stick his knife. Over this
he had caused to be baked An elegant
looking crust, that would deceive any.
body. Tho laugh that greeted Mr.
Shaughnessy's discontinue was only
squallsd by the sunptuous repast that
was afterwards spread before them
We would advise our citizens not to
say pot-pie to Mr.. s. until after New
Years, because he is kind of vicious.

flight through the heavens. He
said that he never beheld = more
awful or impressive scene. His
horse suddenly stopped and he
heard noise as il the wind were
rushing onward with great VIC
lence. Looking up he saw moving
high above him a huge mass,
which he described as resembling
a great coal of fire as large as the
largest barn he ever saw. There
appeared to be attached to it an
immense fame Of a deep red color
which tapered off into a darker
tail. Instantly the noise which
accompanied it ceased; the fire.

tail disappeared, and in their stead
the stone assumed u whitish hue,
which It retained until it passed out
of sight. Jones's horse was so
frightened that 1t took several
minutes of vigorous application of
the whip before the animal could
be persuaded TO move.
When the stone fell lit broke Into

the earth to such a great depth as

Dangerous Medicines for Childrea,

household q deal of useless
and unnecessary medication is
carried OH by parents among the
the youthful members of the fami.

medicines that are practically safe,
and which experience has shown
to be innocuous out there is also
we fear, a tendency to employ
drugs which should only be admin.
istered by the family physician,
without calling in medical aid. An
instance of this was furnished by
trial which took place at Hamil
ton, where father was placed in
the dock, on the charge Of culpa-
BILE homicide, for administering
four drops of laudanum to clfld
Eve weeks old, with the result
that it became unconscious and
died within the next few hours,
There was no evidence that the
medicine had been given with
any criminal intent, and the jury
very properly acquitted the parent
whose mental suffering must have
been sufficient punishment for the
indiscretion of which he had been
guilty; but the facts brought out
in connection with the case can
not be loo widely known.

The sIats Hospital.


We have read with interest the
statement of a Commercial Herald
reporter who has recently visited
the State Hospitai. About three
hundred patients are uuder treat
ment, from nearlyevery county in
Mississippi. DIR. s. ID. Robbins
continues in charge, assisted by
DIR. FL. s. McLaurin, of Brandon.
and DIR. Hugh Loftin. The State
and city of yicksburg are repre-
sented by board of five trustees.
This institution, valued at forty
thousand dollars. was rendered to
the State at the last session of the
Legislature and q joint committee
reported in favor of accepting il,
and the House passed a bill to that
effect; but the Senate proposed
to compromise-an appropriation
Of fifteen thousand dollars for the
two years, 1885 aud 1885. The
amount has been economically and
judiciouSly expended, but has
proved to be wholly inadequate.
Iu addition the city of Vicksburg
has contributed literally to the
support Of the hospital, and has
made many improvements and re-
pairs. The hospital should be so
enlarged and sustained by the
State as to avoid the disagreeable
necessity of our iudigent sick and
disabled going to the Charity Hos
lital in New Orleans and thus add
to the burdens of the already
overtaxed people of that State.

Two WIDOWS Appear.


One of our morning papers last
Sunday contained the following
item: Jacob Elsner, who died on
the third day Of last May, TO the
general surprise of his associates
left two widows, each Of whom
has children, and each Of whom
has gone to law to assert her
rights to bis estate. Elsncr was a
member in good standing in Isaac
Lodge, No. 70, Of the Improved
Order Of the Free Sons of Israel,
and was the possessor ola 1900
benefit policy at the time Of his
death, which by the rules Of the
order reverted TO his widow, 10.

this city, aud Yettel Elsner, resid'
ing at Kempen Posen, Prussia,

circulation about an unpleasant
condition of affairs between Nell
lie Sartoris and her husband.
Long aud miDuiely detailed histo-
Iies of this difficulty and the pro-
liability of a divorce have been in
various Eastern publication Offices
for some time but no publication
of these stories was made in East
ern papers until the story appear
ed in Denver. The local papers
here have several colums upon
this subject from day to day. The
Critic this evening contains the
following which throws more
light upon what has already been
printed:
The newspaper gossip about an
unpleasantness existing in the
married relations of Mrs. Nellie
Grant. Sartoris and her hasband
does not surprise those familiar
with their courtship. They look
upon these reports as the natural
sequence of tae uncongenial-to
use mild phrase-aliance. Miss
Nellie was a girl of sweet disposi
tion and gentle manners-her
fathers idol-while Sartoris was
Il rough and coarse. grained Eng
lishman. His general conduct, in
connection with the fact that he
had exhibited some of Miss Nellie's
letters to him, accompanied with
gross remarks,t TO persons in Wis.
consin town where an accomplish.
ed young lady had rejected his al.
dresses, caused solicitude among
many Of Gen. Grants personal
friends, some of whom consulted
as to tho propriety of informing
him Of Sartoris conduct with a
view to regaining possession of
Miss Nellie's letters.
Senator Matt Carpenter finally
consented to breach the delicate
subject to Gen. Grant. He called
at the White House and in as deli
cate manner as possible, com.
menced relating the current scan
dal as to Ssrtoris's notorious con
duet, when the General quietly re-
marked:
"That will do, Senator. Ny
daughter is engaged to Mr.. Sarto.
ris, aud the wedding will take
place." Senator Carpenter IN
speaking cf the interview, said he
never iclt so chargined as at the
Presidents abrupt closing Of the
conversation, and that he would
never again under any cir
cumstances attempt TO advise
about the domestic affairs of any
one. 1t was we'll known that Gen.
Grant was opposed to this alliance,
but when his daughters affections
were engaged be acquicsccd and
would listen to no argument OF
suggestion to The contrary.
When Gov. Jewell was return.
ing from his mission at st. Peters
burg to accept position In Gen
Grants Cabinet, he stopped day
at South Hampton to call upon
the elder Mr.. aud Mrs. Sartoris
the parents of Miss Nellie's hus
band. lie was cordially received
by them, but in the course of cor
vcrsation Mrs, Sartoris astonished d
the ex. Minister to Russia by re
marking that she "didn't see what
there WAS about Algernon to cause
the daughter of the President o.
the great United States to fall il
love with aud marry" Gov Jew
ell subsequently, expressed the
same asionishment.
