Ii Is a beautiful story that in one OF
the old cities Of Italy the king caused q
bell to be hung la tower In one OF the
public squares and called 1t "ths bell Of
justice, and commanded that any one
who had been wronged should 20 and
ring the bell, and 80 call the agistrate
Of the city and receive justice. And
when, In the course Of time, the lower
end of the bell.rope rotted away, wild
vine was tied on TO IL TO lcDgtben it;
and one day an old and starving horse
that had been abandoned by its owner
and turned out TO die, waDSered into
TIE to~er, and. trying 70 eat the vine,
rang the bell. And the magistrate OF
the city, coming 10 see who had sung
the bell, found this old and starving
horse; and he caused the owner OF the
horse, In whose service he bad toiled
and been worn out, to be summoned be.
fore him, and decrecd that as his poor
horse had ruDg the bell Of justice he
should have justice, and that during the
remainder Of the horses life his owner
should provide for him proper food and
drink and stable.

Lockjaw Cured.

DR.. Robert Taylor, OF New York, re-
ports the cure of q case Of tranmatic te-
tanus, or lockjaw, resulting from a
wound, which is, 1t Is said, the only in
stance in which a fatal conclusion to
such an attack has been averted. On
MAY !, Miss Ellie Masterton, daughter
of Mr.. Robert NJ. Masterton, a retired
New York merchant, resident at Bronx
willie, had the bones of the toe and instep
of her right instep crushed. DR.. Taylor
dressed the wound, removinga number
of pieces of bone, and trimmed oil the
little toe, which could not be saved.
Recognizing the extreme probability OF
lockjaw, he put the patient under the
influence of morphine. lie began by
giving her sixty drops Of Majendie's
,olution of the sulphate Of morphia
(one-quarter of grain to the drachm)
at each dose, three doses day. This he
increased gradually until II was doub-
led, and, during the worst period Of her
suffering, that amount even was ex-
ceeded, enough to keep her In a stupe-
fed condition all the time.
Twice day her wound was dressed
with balsam of Peru and oakum, and
the bandage pressure was carefully reg
ulated and constantly watched TO pre-
vent the matter burrowing. IL healed
admirably, showing healthy tendency
from the first. But eight days after the
injury the first symptoms Of iockjaw
appcared-sever and increasing pains
In the sides OF the face, followed by vi
olent twitching In the muscles Of the
face and limbs. The pains in the sides
of the face became so great that II could
hardly be allayed, even by the enormous
doses of morphine given. In four days
after the symptoms first declared them
selves the tetanus was fully established.
The girls jaws were tightly locked to-
gether, the muscles Of the right leg,
arm and side twitched convulslyely,
and the body was bent like bow, rest
ing upon the head and heels.
These violent symptoms lasted nine
days. During that time In addition to
the morphine, large quantities Of rye
whisky, brandy, champagne, sherry,
egg-nog, milk punch, and other stimu-
lants were given to her. The loss Of
tooth permitted their introduction into
her mouth through a rubber tube. At
length the first indication Of recovery
appeared in the cessation OF the twitcb-
ing Of the muscles, and then the OPEN
ing Of the mouth far enough to permit
the passing Of knife blade between the
teeth. From that point the progress OF
recovery was rapid, until now the foot
is well and the lockjaw has disappeared

Before she had half finished speaking
the company had gathered close aroun(
her.

an angry tone. But Pinkie went OF
resoluIely:
81 could not resist the temptation tC

You know that was exactly the sort Of

saw smiles. Eyes, you all know it,
embracing the group in her appealing
glance, "and We out West all know it.
Then forgive me. You will ask them tu
forgive me, dear Uncle Silas, won't
you?"
But Uncle Silas was laughing too
heartily. He bent over and kissed her
forehead.
"I ask them all to forgive me for kiss
ing you," he said. "A capital joke,

P.nkie very simply. Yet there was a

tone which made Mr.. Morris change

There are no words in which TO de-
scribe the embarrassment Of Mrs. Bent
and her daughters.
Had Pinkie overhead what they said
about her?
They sounded her US far as they dar-
ed. But they never found out.
To only one person did Pinkie ever
tell the whole. That was to Hon. Mr..
Morris, after she had been some weeks
his wife.
"I thought it was so unjust In them,

give them a lesson, and let them see

"You needn't have done So" replied
Hon. Mr.. Morris, "for thought as

"Did you really?" asked Pinkie.
"Really," answered the Hon. Mr.
Morris.

She didn't show the least disposition

of a sudden he grabbed her by the paw.
She grabbed back. Then he leaned over
at an angle Of forty-fve degrees, and
she fell toward him. Ii was very un.

tsined it with scarcely any change for
hours. Her hat got skewed around al-
most hindside before, but she would not
release her clutch for fear he'd 20

his necktie worked around under his

think he was mad.

SHEPHERDSTOWN, w. VA, FRIDAY JULY 80, 1886.
Cupid's Arrow

Cupid's Arrow.
In those wondrous days OF old
When all knights were fair and bold,
And ladies by their beauty wrought mueh
ruin,
Cupid tipped his arrow sharp
With the song sung by the harp,
And no damsel dreamed OF more delicious
wooing.
But to-day he needs much more,
Roses, bonbons gold galore,
And the roses must be "Jacks" to make her
smile.
For the loving roundelays
Liked so in chivalricdays
Would be laughed at and considered "dread-
full style"
SO Cupid lifts his dart
With a very saddened heart
"a thing it's wretched form to own at AID
And is forced to think 1t true,
Between him and you,
That loves chance 'gainst gold is very small.
