HARDTN'S DEFENSE.
oKeat Nuns, on KinfoIks.

From the Spring PIGce (Gd.) Times.
Most every person that l have ever
heard anything OF has more or less kin
people, aud it will not do, by any means,
to judge man or woman by their rela-
tiVes, if you do you will be as badly fooled
as the fellow who started to church while
a little tipsey, but to his surprise found
himself next morning locked up in jail.
Because the old man is all right is no sign
the boy will do TO trust, and vice versa"
Some folks are naturally mean and you
can't place them close enough to good
people to make them absorb anything
good. A cedar tree will remain cedar
if planted in the midst of a grove OF pines,
so will a rascal be rascal, although he
may be associated With a whole company
OF venerable ministers. It's mighty funny
to listen to the big tales told by real
slick, oily tongued person, concerning
the great things done by some old gray
headed uncle. or wrInkly faced aunt;
something perhaps which happened
hundred years ago. but they find interest
in the rehearsal all the same. Yes, l sat
the other day and listened to a clever lady
cOnfab about her kin, until got clear lost
trying to take retrospect view of their do
ings. and finally concluded that her family
must date away back about the days Of
Adam, to have accomplished all the re-
markable things she spoke about. Now,
| like to see a person with great, long
train of famous, rich kinfOlks. Why no,
| wouldn't object, in the least, TO being
an heir of Vanderbilt or Gould, or niece
of President Cleveland. Would your
Plenty of influential kin will do a real
smart fellow heap of good in the tangled
affairs of this life, but ya2abOnd trying to
keep up on the reputation OF his relatives,
is a little like trying TO float leadeh ball
on water with a small feather tied to 1t;
you know it will 90 under, so will the
vagabOnd. And il you want to hear a
fuss that VIII make you feel like you
wanted to poke away on somewhere by
yourself, and feel ashamed for the parties,
just let some kintOlks get into squabble,
they wont fight much, but they will burn
each other with every scathing epithet
known to the history of languages, but in
the midst Of TRADE Of this kind, keep
your lips together, and don't say a word
for ANYBODY, for if you de, you will have
both sides on you with ungloved hands in
less than minute. There is no place in
the world, where saying nothing pays
half so well as when near IA kinfOlKs
brOil. The old man might have scum Of
meanness two inches thick on the out
side OF his hide, and you just mention IL
to his wife and the rafting sound Of her
timber tongue would iingi0 in your ears
for ten years TO come.
Well. don't depend too much on your
kin. but row your own boat. and you will
he more likely to float with ease down the
stream of time.

Ocala on the Florida Southern road. IL

in house in that locality. Monday night
about O'Clock a negro went 10 the door
and demanded admittance, which was re-
fused. Aiming himself with an axe
which he found IN the yard, he
proceeded to break down the door,
after which he threatened to murder the
ladies ii hey made any noise. The negro
then searched the house and secured
money to the amount OF $21. When he
became convince that no moro valuables
were 10 be found, be seized Miss ellis
and f0rciblv dra ged her from the house
while the other woman, Mrs. Hopkins, he
came 50 frightened that she fed. The
brute, who is described as being "a black

10 a swamp half mile from the house,
where he outraged her, and where she
was found Wednesday morning In an un-
conscious condition. Our informant
says that great excitement pre-
vailed yesterday morning Ia that

lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.i
CINCINNATI, February 22.-The
decision OF Judge Wyhe, Of Columbus,
m the hdJcGS corpus case of Daniel D..
Dalton, creates the hyeliest interest
here. The Fourth Ward returns, which
are the subject Of controversy, are now
in the hands of the chairman ofahe
Senate committee, which is here taking
testimony concerning the election. a
motion to photograph the returns is now
pending before that committee. 1t was
not able to meet this morning, owing
to the illness of Senator Coulter, Re-
publican member; but it is thought he
will be able to serve some time during
the day. Rumors Of an attempt to
create disturbance in the committee
and destroy the returns brought num-
Der Of persona into the hotel lobby.
Daniel Dalton is here, and says he will
do as his attorney says about going to
Columbus. His attorney proposes to
appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

Troublesome Hungarians.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, February o.
A special from Mount Pleasant, Pa,
says that the Hungarians refused to 80
to work this morning at the Norwood
and Standard works at the advance
offered by the syndicate. They say
they will do no work until their cOun-
trymen are released from Jail. At
Norwood they swear they will kill
any one who attempts to work until
Trick & Co. have complied with their
demand. The English-speaking men
are indignant at the Hungarians, and
will go to work tomorrow regardless of
consequences.
A special from Connellsville says ::
The trouble in the coke region is not
ended by any means. The men at Dom
aldson's works, near here, all went to
work this morning, but in one pit they
refused to fill the wagons as full as
heretofore, and the pit bosses refused
TO haul the cars out.

Richmond Theatre.

1t may safely be said that last night
as beautiful and exciting drama was
witnessed by a large and fashionable
an audience as has ever been produced
in the Richmond Theatre. The play
was that Of "Our JOAN" by Merivalc,
with Miss Rose Coghlan in the title
role. In the various aud ever-changing
scenes the great dramatic genius of
Miss Coghlan was displayed to great
advantage. As the honest, outspOken
tisher-giIl in the first act she was in
imitable and true to the life. In the
second act where she is seen in her
husbands fine residence and in fash
Ionsble. costume, and is learning with
intense disgust the superficial man
ners and customs of fashionable
life, she so awakened the interest
Of the audience, that most unusual
thing occurred for Richmond. She was
three times enthusiastically called be-
fore the curtain. The pathos in the
last scene is feelingly displayed by the
heroine, and "Our Joan" appears
again in her fishers costume and rushes
to the rescue Of her husband. The last
scenic effect of the last act is yery beau
tiful, and never before has any sea
scene been put on the Richmond Theatre
more effectively. At he close Miss
Coglan was again called before the cur
tain. She is very beautiful woman,
with full, mellow voice and winning
ways. Her support is excellent.
The play will be repeated tonight.

PETERSBURG, Feb. %, 1886.
The day was observed as usual by a
parade Of the military companies. In
addition to their parade the Petersburg
Grays had target practice.
Tonight the "0ld Grays" Associa-
ton, composed Of the surviving MEM
bers of Companies A and b Of the gall
liant Twelfth Virginia regiment, and COM
prising the descendants of the Petersburg
Grays of ante-war times, celebrated the
fifty-eighth anniversary oftheir organiza-
ton around the banquet table at the
BollingbrOok Hotel. Many invited
guests we're present, and the occasion
was made enjoyable by splendid set
out, good speeches, songs, &c.
Two fire-alarms were sounded on
Sunday during the prevalence Of high
wind, but fortunately the damage was
small in each instance. A small house
on the Heights and another on Halifax
street were burned.
Early this morning the wife of K. II.
Hampton, a worthy cOlored man living
and keeping store on Sycamore street,
was terribly burned by the explosion
Of a kerosene lamp. After turning
down the wick she attempted to blow
the light out. The lamp exploded,
throwing the burning oil over her face,
breast, and arms. Her injuries are be-
lieved to be fatal.
Judge Hancock has notified the cOun-

states that counsel after consultation
may fix any date between the 10th and
oath, if more convenient to them. As
the lawyers in the case reside long
distance from each other it is probable
that Judge Hancock will be asked to
name the day himself. 1t will take
some time to notify all the witnesses

lfrom Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, February 22.-Thcre
has been some unfair criticism upon the
Democrats for delaying report upon
the proposition of Mr. Hanback,, OF
Kansas, to enlarge the powers OF the
Committee on Expenditures OF the De-
partment Of Justice so as to enable it
to make full investigation of the Pan.
Electric scandal. The sole cause of
delay has been the fact that Mr. Ran
dali, a member Of the Committee on
Rules, has been absent for q week.
But no sound reason can be given for
great haste in the matter, even if all OF
the members Of the committee had been
in the city. Mr.. Randall is expected
to return tomorrow, and if his engage
ments as member of the Committee
on Appropriations and the Ordnance
Commission do not interfere, the tele-
phone matter may be considered by the
Committee on Rules this week.
The distribution of the appropriation
bills among several committees has not
thus far had the effect Of bringing the
general appropriation into the House
very early in the session, which was
promised Wy those who caused the
change to be made. Up to this date
only two out of the fourteen appropris.
tion bills have been reported to the
House--namely, the pension bill from
the Committee on Appropriations and
the Indian bill from the Committee on
Indian Affairs. 1t is expected that the
District Of Columbia bill will be re-
ported within few days, and possibly
the Military Academy bill this week.
In the first session of the Forty
seventh Congress the fertilization, post
Office, and consular and diplomatic bills
were reported in January, and the In
dian, Military Academy, and agricul.
tural bills before February 18th.
1t is expected that the Senate will
not conclude the debate on the Blair
educational bill before next Friday,
and if all Of the senator's who desire to
be heard should make speeches a final
vote cannot be reached until next week.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky. and
Harris. of Georgia, as a sub-Commit-
tee Of Ways and Means, spent part Of
this national holiday at the CAPITOL lis
tening to Morrow and IIawley, OF Cali
fornia, and private representatives Of
American wine-producers in favor of
legislation to prevent the importation
Of impure and adulterated wines. They
were invited to sample some Of the
California wines, but both declined.
1t is expected that the report OF the
Elections Committee on the contest of
Frank Hurd, of Ohio, whatever the re-
port may be, will be made the basis of
a lively political debate in the House.
Mr.. Bland, Of the Coinage Commit
tee, is fretting because be cannot get
the free-coinage bill made a special
order. He fears that otherwise the
bill cannot be brought up for discussion
before the middle Of March.
