The United States revenue steamer
Ewing left Fortress Monroe on Tues
day afternoon, and all went we'll until
between IL and IL o'clock that night.
AT that time a strong. gale came out
from the north, catching the Ewing in
the vicinity of Smiths Point. All at
once there was a strange and weird
appearance about everything. Moth
ing looked natural. In the heavens
the stars were shootidg in all directions
and the breaking seas were charged
with phosphorus to such a pronounced
degree that no one on board recollected
ever seeing such display. The fixed
stars seemed to move, and balls of fire
first appeared on one bow, then on the
other, which Pilot Madigan thought
were vessels lights, and kept a keen
watch as he progressed. It was only
when they became general that the
pilot found they were due to atmos-
pherical disturbances. A haze pecu-
liar to earthquake countries was visible
along the horizon, and it excited the
interest of Lieut.. Brann, who had had
a thrilling experience under the same
circumstances at africa, Peru, when, as
an officer of the United States steamer
Wat,ree, he was carried ashore on
that vessel by the great tidal wave
and earthquake Of 1868. During the
strange proceedings the Ewing was
brought TO anchor in Cornfield harbor,
inside the Potomac.

The Pennington NeaUs has broken
out again: AT the time of going to
press our circuit court is suspended,
the wheels of justice have been stopped
all day waiting for Judge James d.
Fox to recover from an overdose of
:. tarantula juice. " 1t is hard on our
people, but it is fun for the sJege. I"
We give the text of our neighbours slap
at Judge Fox in order to show its un-
friendly animus. That he has this one
weakness of yielding occasionally to the
seductive influence of strong drink is
unfortunately true; but since, for two
years this is his first offence, could not
the NeaOs have passed it over in char
liable silence? Those who know Judge
Fox will testify that this is almost his
sole weakness that he 10 the soul Of
honor the truest of friends and that
more pure and generous feelings never
actuated human beng than those
which mark his daily life. We know
a score Of nlen who move along in soci-
ETY., without unfaporable criticism, pos
sessed OF faults much aaore detrimental
to the interests Of society, bat not SO
hurtful to their outward selves. They
are the people to be feared not those
who, like Judge Fox, occasionally give
way to temptation the best aud wis

Charleston Enterprise: "On Satur-
day morning last, Mr.. Frank Lucas. a
prominent and energetic young fan mer
of Lucas Bend, this county, met with
a horrible accident, which terminated
in bis death. From what we can gath
er in regard to the sad affair, it seems
that tree near his residence was blown
from its roots and lodged in another
tree. Mr.. Lucas took his axe and cut
the second tree down, aud in the fall q
branch of the lodged tree struck Mr..
Lucas Oh the head, knocking him
senseless and badly fracturing his
skull. He died from his injuries the
following night, and was buried Sun
day. Frank was born and raised in
this county, was very promising,
clever and popular young man, and
leaves mother and sister and host
of warm personal friends to mourn
their loss.

From the Jefferson City Tribune we
learn that 1.-THE popular belief, that the
Downing high license law applies to
all parts of the state is a mistake. The
cities of Carrollton, Chillicothe Bruins
wick and Commerce are exempt from
the provisions of the law. Their char
tiers provide that they shall have the
exclusive right to license and tax all
dramshops, and the state cannot COL
lect one cent of license tax from any of
these cities"

The Pennington Times accuses the
editor of the Democrat of being " the
hired mouth-piece of Hon. M. l..
Clardy." We presume there is about
as foundation for the Charge as there
was for that put forth by the same
paper against the edi tor of the REGIS
TER in 1876, charging him with being
subsidized by Hon. RIA. Hatcher. The
redoubtable would-be Hon. Francis
Marion Garter is the author of both
charges, we believe.

Senator Cockrell continues to pick
up the counties with a regularity which
makes the opposition dizzy-headed.
The friends of the Senator know full
we'll that he has more than enough
votes now to elect him, but they still
keep at work adding to his strength
for the purpose of showing conclusively
that his popularity is not confined to
any one part of the state. 1t can truly
be said that few men indeed ever be-
come, and continue SO popular with
the people of whole state, as Senator

Those Democratic of the 23d judicial
circuit who care more for party than
individuals are urging the holding of a
convention for the nomination of judge.
The district is Democratic, two to one,
but there are four Democratic candi-
dates, and Republican might easily
slip in if the votes were divided. Let
there be a convention, is what every
will say.

Knowing Judge Wears ability to write

somewhat anxiously for the key to this
new text book. There need be no
eguivocal answers; the questions are
plain and straight forward; names and
places spelled out in full.

The P.rryville San gives the follow
ing true definition of a newspaper:
A newspaper is an aggregation of atoms
and its segregation, under the most favora-
BILE circumstauces,re requires years of time. The
fact that it depends upon more than tbous-
and patrons for its success is it's shield and
protection. No coalition of designing men
can materially injure it. Its legion of friends
will be steadfast, and its independence of
utterance is its safeguard. We speak of the
untrammeled, pure and truthful press, with
10 reference to those vicious and corrupt
publications, which spring up like the mush-
room and do the bidding of their masters
throughout a brief period Of existence. No
two groups of men think alike, and what
displeases one pleases another. Even i'm
prudent management cannot seriously injure
a newspaper, so long as it does not tread
upon the toes of too many of its readers at
the same time.

Cason, who have made themselves con-
spicuous as terrors in Coone and Mont
gomery counties for some time past, went
to ThOrntown Tuesday and instituted a
reign of terror, chasing people OIL the
streets at the muzzles OF dangerous-look-
ing revolvers. After indulging in the ex-
citing sport until they were tired OF 1t
they took from the public hitchrack q
horse and sleigh and started toward Dar-
lington. Pursuit was made by the Thorn
town Horse-thief Detective Association,
which sent posse after them. Near Oar
lington they were overtaken, and left their
sleigh and started across field, pursued
by the officers. The fleeing negroes were
fred upon and both were wounded. They
were taken to Lebanon on the evening
train and jailed. Halls wounds are OF 9
serious nature, but not necessarily fatal'

New YORK, December 30.-An Italian
girl, 1s years old, named Peppina Latorre,
was killed to-day by falling in front OF
Third-avenue elevated train at the Eigh-
tv-ninth-street station. The girl, with a
sister, worked in Houston street. Both
were very lively. They were waiting for
train, chatting merrily. Celestine made
a remark, and Peppina turning suddenly
to reply, lost her balance, slipped over the
edge OF the platform, and fell backward
across the down track, The engine was
but fifteen feet away. Engineer Merrill
did not see her, but heard her wild
scream, and reversed his engine. Several
ran to aid the hapless girl, but too late:
She struggled pitifully on the recovered
boards, making desperate attempt to
arise. She raised her hands beseechingly
towards the horror-stricken spectators.
The hands were the next moment beaten
down by the locomotive, and her groans
were family heard as the iron wheels
mercilessly crushed out her life.

ONE CENT.
To Save His Mothers Home.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, December 30
Mrs. Witrock, the mother of "Jim Cum
mins," was seen at her residence last
night. She was very unwilling to say
ANYTHING about the arrest of her son, but
was anxious that the public should know
the real cause of the robbery. She said
that she had wondered from the first
what prompted the robbery. and the first
question she asked her son after he had
been brought to his home by the detec-
tives was "Why did you take the
money!" He answered he was greatly
worried because the time was growing so
short when the mortgage on her home to
secure 100 that she had borrowed and
loaned to him would become due, and he
was rot making enough money out OF
his business to pay her. So instead OF
allowing the homestead to go to sale he
made up his mind to make desperate
effort to save it, and finally decided upon
the plan of robbing the express car.
