In the Cumberland Mountains.

Meanwhile the darkness was falling,
and the scenery along the road grew
wilder and grander. A terrific storm
had swept over these heights, and the
great trees lay uptorn and PROSTATE in
every direction, or reeled and fell
against each other like drunken giants
"a scene of fearful elemental violence.
On the SUBMITS one sees the tan-bark
oak; lower down, the white oak; and
lower yet, fine specimens of yellow pop
lar; while from the valleys to the crests
is a dense and varied underground.
save where the ground has been
burnt over year after year, to kill it out
and improve the grazing. Twenty
miles to the southeast we had seen
through the pale-tinted air the waving
line of Sellico Mountains, in Tennessee.
Away to the north lay the Beaver Creek
and the lower Cumberland, while in
front of us rose the craggy, scowling
face of Anvil Rock, commanding a
view of Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Virginia. The utter silence and heart
expressing repose of primeval nature
was around us. The stark white and
gray trunks of the immemorial forest
dead linked US to the inviolable past.
The air seemed to blow upon us from
over regions illimitable and unexplored,
and to be fraught with unutterable sug-
gestions. The full-moon swung itself
aloft over the sharp touchings of the
green with spectral pallor; and the
evening-star stood lustrous on the
western horizon in depths of blue az
cold as a sky of Landseer, except where
brushed by tremulous shadows of rose
on the verge of the sunlit world. A bat
wheeled upward in fantastic curves out
of his undiscovered glade. And the
soft tinkle of a single cow-bell far be-
low marked the invisible spot of some
lonely human habitation. By-and-by
we lost sight of the heavens altogether,
so dense and interlaced the forest The
descent of the hack appeared to be in
to steep abyss of gloom: then all at
once we broke from the edge of the
woods into flood of moonlight; at our
feet were the whirling, foaming rapids
of the river; in our ears was the near
roar of the cataract, where the bow
crowned mist rose and fioated upward
and away in long trailing shapes of
ethereal lightness.
The Cumberland River runs and
and throws itself over the rocks here
with a fall of seventy feet, or perpen-
dicular descent of sixty-two. making a
mimic but most beautiful Niagara.
Just below, Eagle Falls drops over its

of the cataract, under favorable condi-
tions, may be heard up and down

This changing heart for an estate in fee,
Whereas no lasting tenure of the same
Can by the laws which govern nature be.
List to the lesson taught by mortal things:
Age follows youth, and death sweeps age
away;
Spring dies amid hot May time ripenings,
And autumn strips the woods, SO green In

Bind not with promises the heavenly boon;
Only the poets dream of love eternal;
Men duly busted with affairs diurnal
Speak, less unrIghtly, of a honeymoon,
And with the vulgar must own, sweet friend,
Loves mere lease, aye wearing to its end.
Loves mere lease" you say, term Of

Than grow wrinkled or you don the ermine-
Well, then, so be it; if it like you so.

And yield possession, thankfully or no,
When some new love bids high the place to

By cold demeanor shadowing forth the date
Whereat my tenancy shall cease to be.
For, once such notice given. thereupon

Speaking of Stanley Matthew's mar
riage, writes a correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, reminds me of
story which Ogle Taylor tells of Justice
Duval, who was on the supreme bench
for twenty-five years, serving from 1911
to 1886. Judge Duval was a represen-
tative from Maryland To the first con-
Sress. and while there he and William
b. Giles, of Virginia, boarded in Phila-
delphia with Mrs. Gibbons, who had
daughter who was neither young nor
taciturn. Giles and Duval became
great friends, but after they left con-
gress they lost sight of each other for a
time They met again in Washington
at the beginning of Jelferson's admins
tration, when Giles was Senator and
Duval comptroller of the treasury. They
were happy in the revival of old times,
and were enjoying themselves in chat
ting about them until Senator Giles in
uuired of Duval, What has become of
that id cackling old maid, Jennie
Gibbons?"

Agriculture i'm Mexico.

Although the main business of the
country is agriculture, this branch of
industry is carried on under exception
ally disadvantageous circumstances.
One of its greatest drawbacks is, that
the whole country is divided up into
immense hdcfendas, or landed estates;
small farms being rarely known; and
out of population of ten million or
more, the title 10 the soil is said to vest
in not more than six thousand persons.
Some of these estates comprise square
leagues instead of square acres in ex-
tent, and are said to have irrigating
bitches from forty to fifty miles in
length. Most of the land of such estates
is uncultivated. and the water is wasted
upon the remainder in the most reck-
less manner. The titles by which such
properties are held are exceedingly
varied, and probably to a considerable
extent uncertain. Some came from the
old Spanish Government, through its
viceroys: some from Mexico, through its
governors or political chiefs; while over
a not inconsiderable part of all the good
land of the country, the titles of the
church, although not recognized by the
government, are still, to a certain ex-
tent, respected. Added to all this, there
is marked indisposition on the part of
the large owners of real estate in Mexi-
CO to divest themselves of such property;
and this for various reasons. Thus, in
the heretofore almost permanently revo-
lutionary condition of the country, the
tenure of moUeble or personal property
was subject to embarrassments from
which real estate, or inamovable pro-
perty, was exempt. Under the system
of taxation which has long prevailed in
Mexico, land also is very lightly bur-
dened. And, finally, from what is
probably an inherited tradition from
Old Spain, the wealthy Mexican seems
to be prejudiced againt investing in CO.

THE COMPLICATIONS OF AN OFFICE.
The Lawrence Township Trustee Can Recover
Official Funds from His Predecessor.

Judge Walker yesterday submitted special
finding in the case of Solomon Klepfer, trustee of
Lawrence township, against Cornelius B. Wads-
worth, his predecessor. and the defendants
sureties. VIM. F. Wadsworth, Henry Cronk and
Samuel T. Hauge. Klepfer claimed that Wads-
worth refused to turn over certain money,
books. papers and vouchers belonging to the
Office of trustee because he had not received
what was due him. The defense, on trial,
claimed that Wadsworth did not vacate the
Office on accepting an appointment as deputy
revenue collector, and further, that he
paid certain money out of his own
funds on account of the township. The court
held that the Office was vacant by Wadsworth's
acceptance Of the deputy revenue relationship

power to appoint Klepfer to the vacancy; but the
jury found that he had not in any way been re-
funded 81, 081. 49, of the tuition revenue refunded

A DRUNKEN WOMAN'S WRATH.
4 Violent 0utburst of 1t Results in Her Being
Struck and Dangerously Injured.

Rachel Barbour, colored, who is down on the
police list as somewhat obstreperous character,
yesterday drank more beer than was for her
good. Between her and Preston HAYWOOD, her
brother in law, there is no friendly feeling, and
it has been his often expressed desire that she
should keep away from his house, No. 2l1 East
Pearl street She went there last night pre-
pared for anything that might take place.
About 7:30 o'clock the interchange of abuse cul-
minated in the fiery and drunken wrath
Prestons head. He seized heavy
sugar bowl, of white ware, and hurting it at
Rachel, struck her on the forehead just above
the right eye. She dropped to the floor as if
dead, but in a minute awoke the neighborhood
with her screams. Captain Campbell and Ser
geant Lowe came and had both Preston and his
sister-in-law taken to the station-hous DR..
Hodges attended to the wound of the latter,
which showed at glance two ugly cuts crossing
each other. He said the forehead was fractured,
and that Rachel would have to undergo great
odds against her recovery. The quarrel began
about a ten-cent piece. HAYWOOD is charged
with assault and battery with intent to kill.
Witnesses of the ARRAY say that the HAYWOOD
household for brief time appeared as if a cy
clone had got inside. The Barbour woman has
the strength of prize fighter, and on moro than
one occasion has exerted it with the police and
people of her own race. After getting up from
the blow HAYWOOD gave her she threw at him
the lamp, pieces of crockery and chairs At the
station house, too, she continued the fight, in
terspersed with screams and blasphemy. DR..
Hodges took from the fracture several frag
ments of bone, and then sent her to the hospital.
