THE BELLE OF MOUNTAIN DEW.
An Amusing Sequel to- Her Arrest Told
bY the ArkanSaW Traveller.


Miss Bette Smith, of Fentres3 County, Tenn,
who was arrested on the charge of Illicit distil-
ing, is said to be handsome and accomplished,
and supposed to have written that wild and stir
ring romance, The Blue Headed Sap-Sucker,
or The Rock Where the Juice Ran Out" Col
Harvey Mathes. editor of the Memphis Ledger.
SAYS that Miss Smith is undoubtedly the author
OF the story This is startling revelation IN
Tennessee. At one time Col Mathes offered
5000 for the discovery Of the author.
When Miss Smith was arraigned before the
United States Court at Nashville, she conducted
herself with such grace and dignity that the
polite old Judge, deeply impressed, arose and
made her profound bow.
Miss Smith" said the Judge, ito see you in
this awful predicament seriously touches me. ="

''Who bought itY'
"Well, Judge it would be rather hard to tell
who bought It all. Some time ago a party of
gentlemen came out into my neighborhood to

Lovely


from the son FfunclScO JlrOnlCIe.
They had to conceal their love. The parents
were solid against the match and they had to
carry on the usual sub rosa lovemaking
They selected unwonted hours and extraordi-
nary places to walk and talk. One afternoon
they had met by a prearranged accident and
they were going for a walk in the suburbs.
They came up a quiet street and found a whole
row of carriages waiting apparently for a
funeral The procession was just starting, and
as they came mp a hackman most politely took
off his hat and waved them into hack. They
did not hesitate They stepped in, the door was
closed and away they went They had q bliss
full time The funeral went on; the ceremonies
over they were shown into the hack again, and
the polite hackmau asked where he should drive
them to. He was told and they were taken back
into town.
Whose funeral was it," asked the young
lady's friend, to whom the story had been told
I'VE didn't know; we don't know now; but it
was lust lovely"

The Boston advertiser doesn't like Secre-
tary Whitney, probably for the season tsat
he has been decided success as a Cabinet
officer. The Advertiser says he neglets his
work to engage in social life, and that his
office affairs are not in good shape. This is
the first time such charge has been made.
BY the way, the Pittsburg Dispatch, Re-
publican journal, finds something good to
say about Mr.. Whitney, and it is COM
mended to the Advertiser. 1t is this: 1T
is worth mentioning that tIe grand jSnket
with which Secretary Whitney signalized
the launch of the two new naval vessels was
entirely at private expense. On former oc-
casions it used to be tho rule that special
trains were chartered, and liquor ana
champagne flowed at tho cost OF the tax
payers. This time the special train was
more gorgeous than ever, and the cham
payne so unlimited that the vessels may al
most be said to have been launched in that
element-but they were paid for out of ii Q
ambitious Secretary's privy purse This is
certainly a vast improvement on the
scheme of making the public pay for tho
juuket,' as Mr.. Whitney's Republican pre-
decessor used to do.

When Rev. Lyman Abbott was placed
temporarily in Plymouth pulpit it was gen
orally believed that ultimately he would be
elected permanent pastor of that church.
That there was strong ground for this be-
lief is shown by the action of the advisory
committee this week in deciding to invite
Mr.. Abbott to accept the pastorate The
invitation must be ratified by the members
of the congregation, but Mr.. Abbott has
given general satisfaction, and there will be
no opposition TO him. OF course he will ac-
cept, and Plymouth church will have an ex-
cellent pastor without going to England for

The tariff debate continues, and there is
actually talk Of having it prolonged until
to-day week, in order to give a few more
members an opportunity of bidding for
denomination. These members should be
made to understand that the people are
tired OF the debate, ard want the measure
to come to vote They might get an idea
from Congressman Carlton, of Georgia.
who, instead of taking up the time of Con
gress in telling his constituents what his
tariff views are, has written and had pub
hshed an open letter on the subject, placing
himself squarely on line with the Presi-
dents message. BY following Dr. Cartons
example, aspiring Congressman would save
time and serve the purpose for which they
want to speak.

Mr., George Gorham, one of the Republi-

that Mr.. Blaine could not carry half dozen
States if he were nominated. Mr.. Gorham
is mistaken in this. Blaine would be very
apt to carry Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa, Kansas and Vermont, and he might
carry several other States. The significance
of the remark quoted lies in the fact that
Mr.. Gorham is a stalWart.

Tho Democratic Outlook.

The unanimity with which Mr.. Cleveland
and his tariff message are being indorsed
strengthens the opinion that there will be no
opposition to his denomination on tariff
reform platform. In all the State Demo-
cratic conventions which have yet been held
there has been scarcely any objection to him
or his tariff reform policy. From present
indications the st. Louis convention will
not remain in session long. Two days will
be ample time to make a ticket and plat
form that will be satisfactory to the Demo
cratic masses.
Before the State conventions began to
meet the Democratic leaders were quite
anxious that the Mills bill should pass the
House before the assembling of the national
convention. 1t is apparent, however, that
the failure of the bill to pass by that time
will have no influence In shaping the tariff
plank of the national platform. There is
not much doubt that the bill will
pass the House, and that there
will be scarcely any opposition
TO it from protection Democrats. With a
tariff reform platform, and a record in the
House in favor of tariff reduction, the
Democratic party will conduct the Presi
dental campaign with a feeling that success
is certain. The Democrats who favor the
present high protective tariff will keep their
protective notions in the background
during the campaign, aud battle for victory
under the banner of tariff reform. The
most of them, doubtless, will be SO well
pleased with their tariff reform experience
that they will become genuine tariff re-

IT Is SAID of the Chinese executiopers thot
they can strike Off the heads Of their victims so
skilfully that the poor fellows themselves never
discover their loss until moment or two after
they are dead. There is also a story told of n
German executioner Upon one occasion n
criminal asked as a last request that ne might
be permitted TO play game Of nine pins which
was his favorite game before be died The
Judge granted his request. After PLAYING
WHILE the Sheriff, observing that he showed
no inclination TO desist, made n sign 10 tho
executioner to strike the fatal blow, while he
stopped for bowl. The eXecutioner did SO. but
with such exquisite dexterity that the cuprit
did not notice or feel it. He thought, indeed
that breath of cold air was blowing on his
neck, and drawing himself back with q shr,1e
his head dropped forward into his bands. He
naturally supposed that il was n ball which he
had grasped, and Selling il firmly rolled il at
the pins. All of them fell and the head was
heard to exolaim, as il rebounded from the

In RECENT WORK by Prof. Burggraeve. of
Client, the prominent theory maintained is that
salt is the great regulating agent OF life, and on
the proper use of which human longevity
largely depends, it being. at any rate. a great
preventative of certain maladies IL the blood
IS too rich, salt will render II less charged; or,
II II Is poor salt will reconstitute IT, and restore
10 IL the necessary elements. Among the in.
teresting facts cited by Prof Burg2raeve in
celebrating his subject is that about the end of
the last century terrible epidemic bearing
some analogy To scuryy, broke out in Saxouy,
making sucd rapid progress among the poorer
classes that the government ordered an inquiry
into its nature aud course. The result was the
establishment of o singular fact, viz: that
miners, although reduced TO the same misery
as other workmen, remained. with their fami.
lies. completely exempt from the malady The
diet OF the miners differed from the Others only
IN one point. viz, that being employed by the
state, they were supplied with salt gratutously
the deduction being that the absence of salt In
the diet OF the other workmen was the cause of
the malady. Salt was then prescribed as a

whip is if left in the carriage, so he
brought his into church with him and
deposited it under the seat. The.preacher,
described as tall, gaunt man with arms
like windmill and voice like crosscut
saw, soon waXed eloquent-and noisy.
This was too much for two dogs which
had followed their master inside, and
had been ''sarsing" each other in whis-
pers for some time, and, becoming ex-
cited at the loud talk of the man in the
desk. they made break at each other,
and soon mortified the devoted listeners
by becoming engaged in regular set
to. The exhorter howled and the
dogs yelped. Silently reaching I'M
der the seat, Deacon Blank
pulled out the big whip. Unwind
ing the long lash, he swung it around
his head two or three times with the
grace of California stage driver, and
brought it down upon the hides of those
sacrilegious dogs. There was a yell
which drowned for moment the voice
of the preacher. and those two dogs
went through the door and down the
road, and never stopped once to look
behind them until they reached their
homes.
