and both Of them were. though in
widely different ways, leaders Of men.
One vas Hon. Amos Eldridge-
sometimes known as General and
as often called 'Judge'-wealthy and
respected; a man who had held an i'm.
portant command in the Confederate
army; a successful lawyer who had
more than once been elected to the
judicial bench, and a trusted politician
who had represented for a full term
his Congressional district at Washing
ton. Though barely fifty years Of age
his life had been full Of honors, and
indeed his ability deserved all the rec
ignition which it had received. The
other man was Hank Tirestone, the
bold and notorious ringleader Of a
most daring and successful gang OF
moonshiners, and the terror Of all the
peaceful and law-abiding citizens Of
the county.
Besides being great in their way both
Of these men were reputed to be i'm
mensely rich. Judge Eldridge GER
tainly lived in greater style than any
other nan in Smithville, the small
county seat; owned more and better
horses than any Of his neighbors, and
paid just about one-half Of the entire
amount Of taxes collected in the county.
As for Hank Firestone, his wealth
could not very readily be computed, as
he paid no taxes. Indeed, that was the
sum-total Of his wrong doing-evading
the payment Of the whisky tax. But it
was known very well, indeed, that he
literally coined money; for he was
principal owner and controller OF half
a hundred stills Of no mean capacity.
He was SO rich land powerful in his
way and had such a large following
among the poor whites Of that wild
district that he made no secret OF his
business, and his teams laden with bar
rels Of whisky for his agents along the
Ohio river were seldom molested. Once
a detachment Of United States troops
made a raid on some Of the stills, but
they failed to capture Hank or any Of
his men, and a few weeks late, the
whisky business in Eastern Kentucky
was as brisk as ever.
Hank Fircstone, it was currently re-
ported, owned real. estate ''up North"

WOMEN
A Fad That Il Becoming C~ontag:oai
Among the Fair Sex.

She whistles like a Dir /" the

best girl. M one looks shocked or
even surprised at the exclamation.
Two years ago such a remark would
have mad. a sensation. but now il ls
80 common for youngl1dies to whistle,
and whistle well, and so many Of
them are ambitious to do the same
that it can be commented upon admir-
ingly. even BY the m st conservative.
One OF the first young laiies to in
irodGce this practice into Chicago
drawing-rooms was Miss Grace Run
yon- She Is a very slight, rale-faced
girl. with most graceful and nodes
manners. She seldom consents to es.
hibit her accomplishment. unless hcr
mother sits at the piano-an inst-I.
ment which that lady knows how to
use with wonderful effect. She al.
ways makes a gentle attack" as q
musician would say. Sometimes it is
= waltz. oftener a fantastic scrap Of
melody from one of the masters. now
a little bird song. and not unfre-
quently one of the popular
sorenades She can always be
relied on to give all of the
gems from the latest opera. When
she purses up her lips for whistling it
does not comfort her features in the
least. but seems. indeed. rather to in.
crease the piquancy Of her face. She
has a clear. piccolo-likc quality that is
wonderful to hear. aud is more like the
warbling Of a bird than any thing else
that could be imagined.
Her shading is delicious, and the
expression she gives to a melody is as
intelligent as that which a fine singer
would show.
Following Miss Runyon's example,
the whistling fad has spread like a
contagion. The young ladies of the
household set the example. and whistle
every thirg from lullaby songs to ex-
tracts from Chopin. and the servant
girls follow their example with heariier
lungs. bu. duller notes.
In New York. Mrs. Alice J. Shaw
and Mrs Jennie r Campbell have
made themselves famous by their
genius for whisiling. and hundreds Of
maids and matrons followed their ex.
ample. This melodious craze has
done away with the banjo either.

instruments that have been thrummed

Those Lovely Yankee Girls.

Is there any thing sweeter than q
sweet girl just engaged
A new bloom is on her cheek, n
new light is in her eye, a heavenly
halo OF happiness enshrines her. Shy,
but proud; demure, but digniiied, her
heart reflects itself in her face,
30 that he who runs may read.
Nor is it any prospect OF golden
gain, OF riches or raiment, that
renders her radiant. 1t is the sim
Pile thought that she is an object OF
interest. Somebody loves her. She
reigns supreme in one heart.
And, purest Of all Pleasures, she
has some one to worship, some one
for whom she can make utter self
sacrifice and abnegation. She is not
only an idol, a saint, but ut the same
time a devotee. Though she is
goddess, he is god, whom it is both
her duty and her delight to putupon
q pedestal.
When we think how many surplus
women there are in the single state
OF Massachusetts,, and how little it
takes to make n girl happy, it really
seems that the male population is
not doing its duty. As long rs there
is bachelor among us the grand old
commonwealth must blush to own
it. There is no valid excuse for
bacherlorhood in this state.
Seventy thousand more or less
lovely women waiting to be worship
ed! 0. generation of shirkersl Must
the ladies take advantage of the sea-
sons privileges and speak for them
selves?
Breathes there man with soul
80 dead he has never wanted u wife?
Single men, cease from being mon
sters of ingratitude and sacrifice
yourselves, if only for the sake of
selfishness?
Leap year should not pass away
until these things be fulfilled. The
men of Massachusetts, should no long.
er allow the old commonwealth to be
pointed at as the state which most
eschews matrimony. If they do the
fair neglected ones will be amply JUS
titled in taking advantage of their
leap year privilege.-Boston Globe.

Prohibition In Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 15.-The pro-
hibition state convention met to day
with several hundred delegates pres
ent, who were enthusiastic in their
department The platform demands
straight,out prohibition, and is in ia
vor of female suffrage. Rev. j. S.
Hughes, of this county, who was a
candidate for secretary OF state
in 1856. was nominated for gov, rnor
without opposition. The electors Mt
large for the state are Felix +. Nc
Wharton and J. b. BraZellon. Dele
gates at large to the National conven-
tional, W. w. Hickman, Owen Hen
", Is. Il. Brown and J. w. Cromwell.
Four women from the Woman's Chi
fiago Temperance Union were added
to the state central committee.
The ticket was completed ny the
nomination of John w Baxter for

geop, secretary of state; Thomas
Mortimer, auditor; Alien Furness,

tendent Of public instruction; I. c.

Prohibition Outlook.

The cause of prohibition was never
more hopeful than now, but every
thing indicates long and bitter
struggle. 1t may not come this de-
cade or this century, but it will come
and come to stay. There may be
many temporary success and many
temporary reverse, but every day
lays a tirmer foundation. A third of
IA century ago and the United States
supreme court declared freedom sec
tional and slavery national, but in
less than ten years the people had
reversed the decision. Nothing is
more certain than the triumph of
prohibition in the near future. In
the near future there will be practical
unanimity among the haters of the
saloon, and when that is reached the
triumph is not far off. The present
duty of the prohibitionists is plain
Let the strong bear the infirmities of
the weak and not please themselves
only. If we cannot get prohibition
at once, let us, in the language OF
Mr.. Lincoln, keep pegging away.
Prohibition will ome.-Staked Plain.

william !. and His Successors.
Fort Worth Gazette.

In the political world of Europe
the death of Emperor William of
Germany is at this time m event OF
the gravest significance. The sue
cession is vested in his son, the
Crown Prince Frederick, who would
come to tho throne by an easy as.
cention and carry the government
along without q shock were he in a
physical condition to take up the
duties of so burdensome position.
But the death of Frederick is not
far off if the diagnosis of his dis
ease by the most eminent physicians
is correct, and with his failure anoth-
% step in the decent of the crown
will be made as it passes to Prince
William.
The late Emperor was the creator
OF tho magnificent system upon
which the German army is based. He
was ruler who put his trust in the
army, and not in the people. The
new King, tor Frederick is only
King of Prussia until solennly IN
vested with the crown of empire by
the German princes,) is man of diff
ferent mind. He is not friend OF
the system that makes vast camp of
Prussia. 1t has been said that he
would undo much TINT his father has
done and MS Emperor would be more a
father OF his people than general of
the army. He may disappoint those
who think SO OF him. The prince is not
always father of the King. He could
not, if ho would, decrese the military
force of the empire, threatened us it
is by Russia and France, and being
called to place of power and respon
sibility may change his principles OF
government, as it has changed 9th.
ers.
IF Frederick is soon to die, the cen
tire of interest is in his son William,
nowthe Grown Prince. That impor-
tant probability is now in his twenty
ninth year He takes utter his GRANDPA
ther rather than his father, and is
the hope Of the absolutists, who
dread the liberal tendencies Of the
new King. Young William is sol
der, and he believes in the army as
the only safety of Germany. But q
young soldier at tho head of an en-
pire means much more than m old
soldier there William l. was sixty
four years old when he was made
Emperor, and ut that ago the desire
for war even IN fighting man is
kept down by cold reason and pru-
dence. A young mans ardor is not
SO subject to the control of reason,
and an act that William I. would pass
over without apparent notice would
be taken up by William ii. rs n just
for war. This is what
makes the nations of Europe look to
the future with apprehension. They
know not what to expect, and in the
present untranquil state of Europe,
there is no need to wait long for
cause of war. Those best acquaint-
cd with the European situation know
that war is inevitable, and the death
Of the German Emperor will hasten
it.
