A PAUPER'S DYING REQUEST.

An amusing and yet pathetic in
cident in what the poet Gray called
g the short and simple annals of
the poor" is told by Mr.. John j. r.
Mickleiohn, one of the Inspectors
of the Poor, at Sherwick, Shetland
Islands. He says that some time
ago an old woman, named Barbara
Smith, came under the notice of the
Board. She was extremely ill, and
it did not look likely that she would
long need care of any kind. She
did not reside on the main land, but
on small island few miles distant
and there being no parochial institu-
tions in that place, Barbara neces-
sarily occupied the position of
pauper living out. The trouble
from which she suffered dated back
many years. In better and more
prosperous days she had in some
way laid the foundation for Chronic
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and out
of this had sprung other complaints
as age and bodily infirmities crept
apace upon her.
Barbara was not ignorant, albeit
she had fallen into poverty. In ear
lier life she somehow obtained the
advantage of fair education, and
this, added to native shrewdness,
enabled her to use good judgment in
respect to her own situation and
state of health. Although she had
long suffered from asthma and a
bronchial affection, Barbara was
wise enough to see that these all
ments arose from the disordered
stomach and digestion, and that if
the main trouble could be cured the
others would soon leave her. 1t is
probable that her disease began as
others do, with the usual symptoms /:
headaches, bad breath, the rising OF
the sour fluids in throat, oppression
and falntness at the pit of the stom-
ach, loss of sleep, coated tongue,
dull eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
&C., and finally became chronic and
hopeless through her not being able
to find any remedy. The Inspector
states that she had been under med
ical treatment for years, but to nc
effect. In this strait she one day
made the following touching appea
to the Inspector: ~ have beer

They do me no good. / am going

A little three-year-old Rocklander
went into market last week and
helping herself to a green pepper,
tried to eat it. After she had failed
the marketman asked her what the
matter was with the fruit, and she
replied between sobs: "Dere was a
bumblebee in it. - N. Y. World.
Jessie's teacher gave her pupils a
party at which "little brother" was
invited. He ate heartily of ice
cream and cake and was found re-
posing on the bench in a porch
while the other children were at
play in the yard. When asked why
he didn't join them, he exclaimed !:
"Oh, l can't play; my pants choke

A CAVE WONDER.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-The Daily
News, Bloomfield, Ky, special of
December 25th says: j. A. Allen
of this place, while excavating a
foundation for his new grist-mill,
struck the dome of cavern of inn
mense proportions, from which a
strong current of cold air issued
with great force as the workmen
made the opening. Torches were
procured and Mr.. Allen and Mr..
Gainhurst were lowered down by
means of windlass. 1t was about
sixty feet from the surface to the
floor of the cave, which they found
to be level and sandy, as if it were
once the bed of an ancient subter
ranean stream. They followed the
main avenue for a distance of over
two miles, and discovered an open
ing in cliff on the farm of Benja-
min Wilson, and well-beaten path
was easily discerned that was once
trod by human beings, although it
is now, in many places, covered
with forest trees and underground.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Gainhurst, af-
ter emerging from the cave, started
back to town and reported the re-
suit of their discoveries. A large
party was at once formed, which en-
tered the opening of the cliff on the
Wilson farm. On one of the main
avenues numerous evidences ex-
listed that the place had evidently
been the abode of cave men, as nu-
merous relics were found in the
shape of pottery and bronze bric-a-
brac. A sepulcher was discovered
in large niche on one avenue al
right angles with the main avenue
and in it are numerous mummitied
bodies, one hundred or more being
in plain view.
Three of the mummies were re.
moved to town, where they excite
great curiosity. The formations ir
the cave are beautiful beyond des
cription. Stately towers of stalag.
mites, suggestive of grotesque and
unique figures, are encountered al
along the wonderful subterraneal
avenue. There is beautiful little
lake with water as pure as crystal,
and, as usual in cave streams, 1t i:
full of tiny, eyeless fish. The ave
nues of the cave will measure, in al
probability, about seven miles, Sc
that it may fairly be considered
another rival to the Mammoth Cave
and certainly one of the great cave
wonders of Kentucky, the land Of
caves.

have for a long time smoked strong

could find the right kind.

by The incorporate use OF siloig cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild

1t is fact that all mild cigars agree
well with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex.
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most fastidious
smoker, and that is

An. -ican money Is locked up IN Canadian

COL. CASH DEAD.
The Famous Fighter Dies of Paralysis
Aged g.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. H.-Col. z. B. C.
Cash, the famous duelist and sire eater"
who killed Col William NJ. Shannon, a
prominent lawyer, in a duel in August,
1880, and who subsequently,, for ten days,
defied the entire power Of the State to ar
rest him, died at his home in Chesterfield
county, Saturday, of paralysis, aged SO
years. He was buried Yesterday in the
grounds adjoining the Cash mansion, beside
bis son, Began Cash, young desperate who
was shot and killed by SherfrS posse five
years ago, while resisting arrest for the
murder of the town marshal of Cheraw
Before the abolition of slavery Col. Cash
owned large plantations and several hun
dred slaves. AT the outbreak of the war
10 was one of the first in the field, and COM
manded the Eighth South Carolina regi-
ment at the first Manassas He was bold
and desperate fighter After the war he
settled upon his lands in Florida. He was
great sporting man, aud loved fine horses
He had very quick temper, and since the
war has killed four men, Two of these
were negroes, whom he killed for some slight
provocatlon.
In 1850 Cash fought the famous duel with
Col. Shannon. The difficulty grew out of
quarrel between the ladies of the two
families regarding the division OF some
property Col. shannon. although an old
mau, accepted Cashs challenge and was
shot through the heart
The people of tho state condemned this
duel so severely that shortly afterwards tho
Legislature passed the nti-duaiing law,
putting the duelist on the same footing with
an ordinary murderer The Cash-Shnunpu
duel wa therefore tue last which will prob
ably ever De- TOUGH 400 fnlH state.
