WHY VEST LEFT KENTUCKY.
Tale of HIS Wild and Rounding Youth.

Youth.
 The Louisville Courier Journal prints this shameless yarn about Seustor George G. Vest
 of Missouri. It illustrates how trihing things turn at times the whole course of 8 mans
 life. It is asserted that MT. Polk LaHoon
 said the story was told to him by MT. Vest himself:
 ssVest was raised in Owensboro," said MT. Laffoon, "and when he was young man he was far from being an angel. In fact, he was very much of a rake and ardently addicted to both cards and whiskey. About the time Vest was indulging his taste for the paste- boards most unrestrainedly, one of those spasmodic moral waves struck Owensboro, and all the gamblers and gambling places, then enjoying heyday of prosperity, were banished. The boys were hard up for place to satisfy their thirst for poker, and they ! looked for some place to play. An old fel- low, who had some sort of nondescript craft anchored at the wharf, came to their relief, and the boys were in the habit of playing in | the cabin of this boat every night. As hap ! pens every where cards are play ed there lived \ in wenboro a shark. He played close and | generally won, letting no chance escape him. Every time he got about $25 or $50 winner | he would suddenly remember that his wife was sick and had sent him for medicine, or ! would have some other excuse for qulGtln8. | One night Vest and his friend, both of whom ! were broke and about half full ot corn Julce, | sauntered down toward the boat where thelr ! shekels had disappeared into the old sharks
 pocket. They saw from the light aboard that hat } 2 oame was in progress, and they knew the old shark was playing. Vest and his com panion both "blessed" the squeezer in the unstinted way their condition would suggest, | and finally Vest said: I1I fix him. Taking ont his knife he severed the cable which held
 l the boat to the shore. Out into the river the l craft drifted. When it had gone about fvs
 miles down, the shark made his usual excuse
 and arose to go. Out of the light room int.
 the darkness he went. He made step wher

A Pair of silver Handcuas.
From the Washington Post.

There is Le Detroit Park young lady who wears unique bracelet. It is pair of silver handcuffs of the most improved pattern, and joined by short silver chain. They were presented to her by Inspector Byrnes, of New York City. She had them on at Carroll Hall the other afternoon, where rehearsal of the minuet for the re- petition of the Mother Goose" entertainment was in progress.
 A well-known and popular East Wash ingson gentleman and the beautiful daugh- ter of prominent Democratic official were present, and laughiagly requested to be handcuffed together. Their request was compiled with, and the owner of the handcuffs took place in the minuet.
 It was all great joke and very, very amusing, but by the time the minuet had been running for half an hour the hand cuffed ones were ready to be released. But the custodian of the key was not ready. She was obstinate. To their entreaties she turned deaf ear. She was very busy. She had to attend to the minuet. They had been anxious to be handcuffed. Surely they weren't tired of each others company SC soona
 So she danced another half-hour, while the unwilling couple put in their time hating her. hating each other and hating themselves An hour. Wouldn't she please set them freel No, indeedl They were her prisoners
 They appealed to the young lady's mother She was powerless. Her daughter had beer brought up modern fashion.
 Then the young lady leased them. She made ostentatious pretence of going home She said the key was lost. She was very much perturbed over the loss of the key; she valued the key very highly. She searched for it high and low. Wouldn't people please help her to find her key: It would be st dreadful if they had to stay handcuffed tn, rest of their lives. They would have to g to blacksmith shop and have her beautifu | bracelets filed all to pieces. Why didn' | they mind their own business anyway ant ! let her bracelets be on her own wrists wher \ they belongeda
 Finally, after about two hours of tenter | hooks and anguish, the sly minx found th | key and set the suffering couple loose. Bu 1 the gossips do say that promising match nipped in the bud. The lady and gentleman 1 got fair idea of each others disposition and temper under provocation, whic
 efeetually settled all thoughts of furthe
 tEial.

WATRR RIGHTS.


 Water rights have been a source of great trouble and much litigation and will, we suppose, continue to be. The Legal Adviser gives it's readers some plain and useful in formation concerning them. It is general principle, says the writer, that every owner of land upon a natural stream of water has a right to use the water for any reasonable purpose not inconsistent with similar right in the owners of the land above, below and opposite to him. He may take the water to supply his dwelling, to irrigate his land or to quench the thirst of his cattle; to use it for manufacturing purposes, such as the supply ing of steam boilers or the running of water wheels or other hydraulic works, so long as such does not sensibly and injuriously affect its volume. But this is mere privilege running with the land, not property in the water itself.
 Where the stream is small, and does not supply water more than sufficient to answer the wants of the different proprietors living on the stream, none of the proprietors can use the water for either irrigation or manu- featuring, but for domestic purposes and wa SoAAhS StoSAe oAS ptopiAoeo1 W1AA po JuSIAuc0 in consuming all the water. Twenty years use adverse to the right of another will give the person so using the stream the right to continue to use, regardless Of the others rights.
 As to the division of water, every one who owns land situated upon a stream has the following rights: To the natural flow of the stream; that it shall continue to run in it's accustomed channels; that it shall flow upon his land upon it's usual quantity, natural place and usual height; that it shall flow off his land upon the land of his neighbor below in its accustomed place and at it's usual level. These rights he has as an incident to the property in his land, and he cannot be de- prived of them by grant or description.
 If any one shall make any change in the natural flow of stream, to the material in jury of any owner situated upon it, or by any interference shall prevent the stream from flowing as it was wont to flow, he is re. sponsible for the damage he may occasion. These rights are subject to the privilege of each one to make a reasonable use of the water upon his own land while it is passing along the same. It matters not what the source of the water may be, whether it be backward or the fiowage of the same, the water of another stream. Still the division of stream may be made by any one if it be returned to it's natural channel before it leaves his premises.

 A German paper calls attention to the quantity of inferior hempen ropes now man. ufactured. In some cases the rope is made with inferior kinds of hemp inside, but we'll covered with yarns of good material, this de- ception, however, being easily brought to light by dissecting portion of the rope, or, in practical hands, by it's behavior in use; a dark or blackish color indicates that the hemp has suffered from fermentation in the process of curing, and brown spots show that the rope was spun while the flores were damp, and must consequently be weak and soft in those places; again, inferior ropes are made with short flores, or with strands of unequal strength or unevenly spun, the rope in the first case appearing woolly, on account of the number of projecting ends, and in the latter case the irregularity of manufacture is evident on inspection by any good judge. Briefly good hemp rope is hard, but pliant, yellowish or greenish gray in color, with a certain silyery or pearly lustre.
 The king of Spain, Alfonso XIII, not yet three years old, is rosy checked, fair child of bright disposition and more than ordi- nary quickness and curiosity for his age. He has been taught to give military salute, and his greatest delight is to witness the relief of the guard from the palace windows at ten in the morning. Old courtiers say he has strong likeness to the Bourbon por- traits in the Madrid Museum. His eldest sister, Dona Maria de les Mercedes, Princess of the Asturias, is now eight years old, and is tall, graceful child, very fair, with feat ures like her mother. She is not so bright, it is said, as her blue eyed, blond sister, Dona Maria Theresa, who is only six years old and rather delicate. Queen Christina herself is in her thirty-first year, and has been widow for three years and a half. She is tall, slender, very graceful, and state~ ly in her carriage; her manners and her ele- gance are worthy of her Austrian and Wien nese training, and though showing much kindness and affability to all-foreigners and natives alike-who approach her, she is queenly in her bearing and glance when she chooses.
