"A Cousin of the Late Jesse James

The other day a big, greasy, stout,
healthy-looking beggar entered one of
the leading establishments on Fourth
street, st. Louis. The first person he
encountered after entering the portals
OF the store was well-dressed young
man of affable and pleasant manners
The mendicant proceeded to narrate
well concocted story four and half
yards long. He was cut short by the
salesman, who curly remarked that he
had nothing TO waste on big, burly beg
gars.
Eyeing the young man from head to
foot, ard giving him a you-are- certain
ly-not-goingrto-refu look, the beg
gar endeaFored to shame the young
salesman into contributing something.
''lf l was as well dressed and pros
porous looking as YOU are" said the
mendicant, Il would be ashamed to
refuse dime to a poor man like my
self. Look at that fine diamond pin
there! Look at that watch and chain
there and cutaway clothes! Oh, I'd be
ashamed, would
"Now, here" said the salesman,
''when give my money away | want
to know that it goes for some worthy
charity and not into the beer saloon"
These remarks delivered, he pushed
the beggar out of the way, whereupon
the latter said slowly, but in a determ-
ined manner, his eyes meanwhile rivet-
ed on the young man, Don't crowd
me! I'm second cousin to the late
jesse James"
The salesman's blood was now at the
boiling point and the second cousin of
Jesse James lost no time in getting
/ out doors.-St. Louis Republican.

The Wedding Party at Franklin.

ThelFranklin correspondent of the
Nashville American furnishes that
paper with glowing account of the
arrival of Mr.. Growden and his bride
at that place, and the reception given
then on the same evening at the resi-
dence of DR.. ]. J. Beech, from which
we take the following extract:
"The bride, doffing her travelling
costume, appeared in her lovely bri-
dial dress, and was the admired of all
observers. About s o'clock the doors
of the dining-room were thrown open
and a sumptuous repast, on groan-
ing table in the form of the letter T.,
was enjoyed by the numerous guests
who.had assembled to greet the happy
pair. The handsome and youthful
couple were the recipients of many
heartfelt congratulations. The floral
decorations of the parlor and the fes-
tai board were beautifully arranged,
and the elegant brides cake was
specially deserving of mention. DIR.
E. l.. Beech and his mother, Mrs. j.
j. Beech, made all present feel at
home, and regret the closing of the
pleasant reception. Our people felici.
tate themselves on this suspicious
union of intellect and loveliness. II
is indeed a happy union of two cont.
nents, Australia and America; of the
mountain and the central basin o.
Tennessee; of Warren and William
son; McMinnville and Franklin. The
occasion was also memorable for the
kindly feelings engendered between
the Christian congregation of the
brides home, in which she was al
active worker, and the congregation
of the groom'S church here, which

Want More Work.

Under the road low, all male in
habitants not exempt are compelled
to work on the public roads not less
than three nor more than six days.
The County Court fixed four days as
the number to be worked for the
year 1886. This may do for some por-
tions of the county, but is not suffi-
cient for a great many roads in the
county. In the Sd road district the
roads are rough and it takes a great
deal of work to keep them in condi-
ton to be travelled at all. We ought
to have at least the extent of the law,
and the people in my part Of the
county would work six days, We
are all alikeinterested in public roads.

AT six o'clock Tuesday morning,

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Wal
ling, was married to Mr.. Arthur M.
Growder, of franklin, Tenn, at the
brides home in this place, Elder H.
L. Walling officiating in the cere-
mony.
We were denied attendance upon
this joyous occasion by absence from
the city, and the reporter who was
commissioned to take notes for the
STANDARD was SO overcome by the
handsome appearance of the groom,
the loveliness of the bride, and the
general bewilderment of the sur
roundings that the notes were almost
forgotten. We managed to gather
from him, however, that the parlor
was beautifully decorated, and that a
large crowd of friends and relatives
werepresent to witness the Impressive
ceremony which united two loving
hearts in the mystic bond which
man is forbidden to sever, and
launched their lives upon a voyage
which we hope may be fraught with
pleasurable events through long
and happy life, and berewarded with
safe anchorage on the beautiful
shore beyond this life. The wedding
party took their departureon the $40
a. m. train for Franklin, the home of
the groom, carrying the love and
good wishes of scores of admiring
friends.

The Microscope as a Butter Tester
June %, 1886.

The experiments instituted several
months since by Prof. Thomas Tay-
lor, the microscopic of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, with the view
of establishing a certain and reliable
means of distinguishing butter from
oleomargarine and the numerous
other limitations, has resulted in
some discoveries that are truly Won
derful. The professor has not only
found that when butter is placed un-
der the microscopes peculiar arrange
ment of crystals is at once revealed,
which is found only in butter, and
cannot be produced in any of its imi-
tations; but he has by carefully ex-
aiming specimens of butter from
various creameries throughout the
country, discovered a marked differ
ence both in the form and arrange
ment of the crystals. Further study
of the subject has revealed the fact
that butter produced from the milk
of any particular breed or variety of
cows has form and arrangement of
crystalization entirely different from
all others, and that the form of the
crystal itself depends upon the food
with which the cow is supplied. A
chart has been made showing the
variation in the forms of the butter
crystals, which will enable person
by the aid of a microscope not only
to distinguish genuine butter at a
glance, but also to know the breed Of
cattle from which it was produced,
and the food with which the animal
was supplied. The revelations ofthe
microscope are indeed wonderful.
