A very peculiar accident occurred
last Saturday night in Clayton, while
the festivities were going on at the
Saengerbund hall. Some time ago
Mr.. J. b. Jost, near Clayton, bought
horse which had belonged to the fire
department in st. Louis. Some of his
friends cautioned him that the trained
animal would bring him to grief some
time or other, but John laughed at
their well-meant expressions. The
night mentioned above, Mr.. Jost join
ed in the party which met to do honor
to Deputy Circuit Wolff, having first
fastened his horse in the wagon-yard
at Autenrieth's hotel. During the ev-
ening, the party at the hall was sing
ing lively air, during which some
one kept time on a little call-bell, which
happened to be on the piano. The
horse, which was tetHered some hun
dred yards or so from the hall, heard
the bell, and his former experience in
the fire department was brought to
mind. He succeeded in breaking loose,
and then with wonderful success in
turning corners, dashed toward the
hall, got into the Enclosure, and, after
making tremendous jump of about
Is feet, as evidenced by the place where
the buggy left the ground. and where
it struck again, was found lying with
his bead pointed toward the main door
of the hall, at the north entrance to
the grounds. The box of the buggy
had been completely torn off the
wheels, and in his run, the animal had
bruised up all the young trees, lately
set out, which happened to be in his
way. The owner went home, upon
being told that his horse was missing,
but came back without him, the ami
NAL being found, as above stated at
the main entrance to the Saengerbund
building. The horse was slightly in
jured. We suppose that, in future, Mr..
Jost will listen to the bells himself and
keep his horse out of hearing of them.

Do You Want Good Fruit Trses2

Ifyou do, we can give you no better adj
vice than to call on A. X. Sutton, proprietor
of the Arcadia Valley Nursery. He has APP
berry Plants, ETC., of every variety. Most
of the fine fruit grown here in this season is
from trees taken from his Nursery, which is
rapidly acquiring an excellent reputation.
The trees grown i'm this climate are certainly
better suited to this section than those i'm
ported from distance, and our people ap-
pear to have at length become aware of the
fact. We can commend Mrs. unqualified
ly to every reader of this paper, and his word
can be depended upon at all times. Orders
by mail for trees from responsible parties
will receive prompt attention.

A Great Discovery.

Mr.. VIM. Thomas, of Newton, Ia, says:
"My wife has been seriously affected with a
cough for twenty five years, and this spring
more severely than ever before. She used
many remedies without relief, and being
urged to try DR.. Kings New Discovery, did
SO, with most gratifying results. The first
bottle relieved her very much, and the Sec
ond bottle has absolutely cured her. She
has not had so good health for thirty years."

A young lady living in Dallas, Tex,
dismissed the young man to whom she
was engaged because he drank. A few
days after she had told him she would
never speak to him again little negro
boy brought note from the wretcheh
young man, whom we shall call George.
The note read: "Faithless, yet still be-
loved Fanny: My sufferings are more

Dense ignorance, it appears, apper-
tains not solely to the Western legis-
lator. On the day of the assembling
of the Massachusetts Legislature a
rural gentleman, carrying large black
glazed cloth valise of the style known
as "kennebeckers," on which was
strapped a bed quilt, appeared in the
shoeblack's room in the State House
basement. Depositing his baggage by
the side of the chair, he allowed his
large boots to be made presentable.
Then he requested the boy to send his
valise to his room. "To your commit
tee room?" inquired the boy. ''No, to
my bedroom, sonny" "Why," said
the youth, members don't sleep at
the State House." Eyes, they do
said the new member, land be sure to
have my quilt laid on the bed" After
repeated inquiries the new member
found that it was as the shoe sinner
had said, that members did not lodge
at the State House, and lac went out
in quest of a cheap boarding house.

Charles Gayarre is New Orleans
Creole. He writes that such Creoles as
Cable has described are creatures of his
own imagination. The character of
amiable idlocy with which he has in
vested most of his personages, Mr..
Gayarre says. may have been kindly
intended by him as a harmless, it not
q charitable conception, to be accepted
with q sort of gratitude, because it
might have been much worse. But
the Creoles of Louisiana cannot admit
that they have had any kinship with
those effete and inlbecile creatures who
figure in Mr.. Cables books. They
never had the manners, the feelings,
and the language attributed to them,
and an educated gentleman of the
epoch depicted never addressed his
wife or daughter. or any one of his
equals, In the jargon of the negro.
Gayarre declares that he challenged
Cable to name two Creole families
with whom he was Intimately ac-
Quainted. He could not.

Lafayette Melton was hanged a
Corning, Ark, last Friday, for the
murder of John Hale. His neck was
broken by the fall, and he was pro-
nounced dead and cut down in 20 min
utes. The execution was public and
was witnessed by over 500 people. Mel
ton protested his innocence to the last.
On the gaIlows he said, 81 have been
a bad boy all my life and have kept
bad company and that, with false
swearing. is what has brought me
here" No attempt to rescue the pris-
oner by a mob was made as was talked
of. The prisoner evinced no emotion
until he mounted the scaffold. Then
he broke down, sobbing while being
tied. Just before the black cap was
drawn over his face he said goodbye to
all: "Boys, let this be warning to you
to keep good company" Tears stream
ed down his face as he spoke. He was
dressed in plain black and was the fin
est looking man on the gallows.

Numerous ELEPHANTS.

young friend asked me once to show him
some elephants in undress, and took him
along with me, having first borrowed an
apron and filled it with oranges. This he
was to carry while accompanying me in the
stable, but the moment we reached the door
the herd set up such trumpeting-t they had
scented the fruit-that he dropped the apron
and its contents and scuttled off like scared
RABBIT. There were eight elephants, and
when picked up the oranges | found had
twenty-five. | walked deliberately along the
line giving one to EACH when l got to
the extremity of the narrow stable

ton again, when | suddenly reflected that if
elephant No. in the row saw me give two
oranges in succession to No. s, he might
imagine he was being cheated, and give me a
smack with his proboscis-that is where the
elephant falls short of the human being-so
| went to the door and began de novo as be-
fore.
Thrice went along the line, and then |

to get back to the door Every elephant in
the herd had his greedy gaze focused on that
orange. 1t was as much as my life was
worth to give it to any one Of them. What
was to do? | held it up conspicuously
cooly peeled it, and sucked it myself 1t
was most amusing to notice the way those
elephants nugded each other and shook their
ponderous sides. They thoroughly entered

A WOman's Speech.

Nine. Solomon, the French wife of the
black president of the black republic of
Hayti, has exerted great influence on his ca
reer. Prof. John NJ. Langston, late United
States minister to Hayti, related to me in her
presence the other day, while she was here
on her way home from Paris, the story of a
speech made by her at a banquet in Port au
Prince, which illustrates her force of charac-
ter and power. The banquet was given to
President Solomon by the business and COM
mercial men of the Haytien metropolis 10
refuie the reports spread by his enemies that
the moneyed interests of his country were
opposed to his administration. There was
also talk that his rule meant French rule.
Nine. Solomon was toasted and the president
briefly returned thanks for her. AS he closed,
to everybody's surprise, Nine. Solomon her
self rose up, as she said to the banqueters,
wholly against custom, to say for herself how
much she thanked them for their courtesy.
She went on speaking for ten minutes, while
she said in substance that, though French
woman by birth, she was Haytien by mar
rage, and that in her marriage to black
man she considered herself married to the
whole race, identified with it in every respect.
and bound by every tie to devote herself to
Hayti and the black people. Her speech
raised round of applause and brought
support to the President that strengthened
him immensely and at once. Indeed, Prof.
Langston says, it put an end to all the cabals
then existing in opposition to Solomon.
Madame Solomon said to me in imperfect
English, but with great feeling, "Something
within me prompted me to speak. | could
not have resisted if | would. But | trembled
as stood up so that thought should fall,
and when sat down and lifted my glass my
hand shook like leaf in a gale. Cor. Of
