The Last Nwiudie.

TPittsburg Commercial July 26th.i
Some time ago . couple Of young gen.
tlemen came to this city with a patent
last. They took the absolute measure
ment Of the foot and modelled the last
after that. So perfect was it to be that
any shoemaker could, by using 1t, make
a boot or shoe which would DO per-
feet fit. They asked IS q pair for them.
One of the victims, talking with rep
Iesentative Of this paper yesterday,
said: 81 took a pair with the rest, and
there was scarcely businessman in
the city who did not give them his order.
They arrived in due time--a whole car
load of them-cia Adams Express Com
pany and G. o. d. paid for mine and
placed them to one side. Some weeks
after / thought l needed apair Of shoes,
and took them down to my shoemaker.
lie commenced to laugh as soon IS be
saw me, and, pointing to large pile OF
lasts on the floor, said: Throw them
down there they are worth 80 cents
No one ever gave the story away, but
there are business men in this city yet
who will blush and use strong language
if they are reminded Of this little cpl.
sode."

luIius's Experience.

Down in the woods of the Chicka.
manga battleGelds rabbits skurry from
one brush-heap to another, and the
squirrels chatter as they look down
from their perches at men wandering
from point to point in the openings.
We were skirting Snodgrass Hill when
We heard a gun 90 off, followed by q
series of yells and whoops. Pushing
into the woods few rods we came upon
an old darby seated on log with one
pant-leg rolled up. There were four OF
five tiny streams Of blood running do gn,
and it was plain enough that some scat
tering shot had struck him.
AS we reached him a colored boy
about sixteen years old came out Of the
brush with light shotgun in his hands,
and the old man looked up and said
"Julius, look heah! You has dun
shot your ladder in de leg!
why, pap, | dun 'spOsed you was
rabbit. seed sunthin' movin' in de
brush, an l blazed away"
"Zactly, julius. Correspond. You
dun took an ole niger weighin' $50
pounds fur little rabbit bout q foot
long, an jist big huff to make soup fur
one Julius, lie gwine to show you de
difference between rabbit an your
ladder"
lie had been cutting q green limb as
he talked, and when he finished he took
the boy by the collar and played the
" bud " to him until the young man
jumped two feet high and sung out like
aSalvation-Army band. BY aud by we
gently interfered to prevent further pun
ishment, and the old man held the boy
off and asked:
"Julius, does you see ms?"
Z" Yes, ladder"
"Does We know me from rabbit"
"Yes."
Den you start for hum an pick up
dat hoe an make dat co'nfield ache,
and de mex time you 90 huntin' you
holler off yer mouf befo' you shoot on
yer gun! Gem'len, good mawnin' an

The Bulgarian Situation.

Russia and England are in the
position of the two bulles at the
county ian, each of whom had an
nounced his intention to whip the
other on sight. When there was
chance of their meeting the one who
first saw his enemv crled out to the
bystanders: ''Hold me, or somebody
will be hurt" Unfortunately for
these powers III this case Bismarck
and the other onlookers seem most
perversely to mistake the real bel
ligerents and are pretending to hold
Prince Alexander with all their
nights.
Alexander refuses 10 be held.
There is 10 reason why he should
decline throne t. prevent the Rus
slams and the English from fighting
each other. The car can scarcely
expect that he should manifesto a self.
sacrificing spirit in this affair. His
abduction, Sd clearly prompted by
Russia, was without an excuse. IT
ii was not, why should Russia be so
| deslrous that The abductors should
escape punishment or SO loud in
condemning England tor prompting
AleXander's return to Bulgaria: Al
the same time England is as unwil-
ing to fight Russia as Russia is to
fight England and each seems To be
begging Germany to hold the other.
In the present condition of affairs
war is possible at any moment. An
accident may precipitate it, and, in
deed, only an accident can avert i.
Because there is really nothing tc
fight about the situation Is all the
more delIcate. While the blustcl
lasts war will not be declared, but i
blood should be drawn, even withou
a purpose Of provoking hostIlitieS
the clash of arms must follow. II

Bill Phelps Attempt to Steal Henry

Vention.

Col. Mart Hubbell, of Springfield

He SAID to our reporter who was on
the tram: ''You know the Henry
county delegation had to leave the
state convention to make their train
before the ballot for railroad CON-
missioner had concluded. They left
instructions how to cast the vote,
which l strictly followed, as the
rolls will show. Bill Phelps, of
Jasper, the railroad attorney, 10 bly,
ist and boss, whose presence cur ses
the democracy of that section, un-
dertook to tell me how to cast the
vote. In language more emphatic
than elegant | got rid of him tor a
time, but soon after. when Henry
county was called, don't you think
! he had the lmpuuence to respond by
calling out the vote tor his candi-
date. l arose and denounced him
by name IN the convention, and haG
the vote cast where it was intend to
go. NV opinion Is that Breathitt'
nomination is due to the efforts o.
Phelps TO steal the vote of the Henr,
county delegation for the man he
favored"
This man Phelps is Stones man.
