Another step in ferreting out the rascalities
which lie at the bottom OF the Grant & Ward
failure has been taken by the United States
grand jury in New York in indicting William
s. Warner, Ferdinand Ward, and j. Henry
Work for conspiracy to defraud the Marine
bank and it's creditors. The specific act
charged is that after Ward got the $3.50, 900
which Gen. Grant borrowed from Vanderbilt
he passed it over to Warner and Work. and
that they received it when they we're in no
way entitled to itand when they knew that it
belonged to Grant and Vanderbilt and bad
been got from them by confidence game
Conspiracy is crime which is difficult Of
proof, as was shown in the star route prose-
culions, but the trial of the case will at least
give some of the main facts in this rotten and
far-reaching business an airing.

Hartford, KY, March l6. 1885.
In my last IspOke Of some curiosities
near Barett's Ferry, and now propose
to speak of another in the same neigh
borhood. Just above the ferry there is
a mountain, or hill, about 800 feet high,
almost perpendicular from the very
waters edge of Rough Creek, and con.
tinuing down to an unknown depth.
Several efforts have been made to
sound the depth Of the water at it's base
all of which have proved futile This
elevation is covered with huge rocks
or cliffs, and large rocks that would
measure twelve or more feet every way
have been started from the summit
and dashed down this declivity, tearing,
crashing, and smashing in their way.
This was great pastIme for boys in my
boyhood, and, l believe, is still indulg-
ed in by some. From the summit
you have fine view of the whole sur

The legend goes that they were not long
happy. The bride would sit on the
cliffs and join her native village songs
with those of the feathered warblers,
which abounded IN great numbers, but
she was not happy. The husband
grew morose and sedate. 1t may have
been that the ghosts of slaughtered

He saw the cheeks of his bride becom

This only added to his own misery aud

away in the cliffs, yielded up the shost

A writer In the Rural New Yorker
tells the young folks how they may
perform the magic feat of putting an
egg in a bottle. Like many other
things. it is easy enough when you
know how. This is the way IL is done !:
Soak fresh egg for several days in
strong vinegar. The acid of the vine
gar will eat the lime off the shell, so
that while the egg looks the same it
will be soft and capaI lie Of compression.
Select . bottle with the neck third
smaller than the egg. With y little
care you will have no trouble In press-
ing the latter in the bottle. Fill the
bottle half full of lime water, and in q
few days you will have hard-shelled
egg In a bottle with a mouth a third
smaller than the egg Of course you
pour off the lime water as soon as the
shell hardens. How the egg got into
the bottle will be a conundrum that
few can answer.
