SrEUBENvuLE, December 13.-The big
fair and festival of the G. A. r. commenced
Wednesday evening at Turner Hall, and
drew ont such an immense crowd, that it
was evident from the start that the affair
would be a grand success. And as each
evening went by the auticipations Of the
/ projectors were enlarged for the attendance
was greatly increased, so that on Saturday
evening the last Of the Fair, the large Hall
would not accommodate the vast crowd.
Every evening sn elegant supper was spread
under the supervision of the Women's Re-
/ lief Corps, and it was one of the sources of
profit, for the number that partoOk of the
tempting viands was limited only by the
capacity of the tables.
The letter in last thursdays REGISTER
over the signature Man Number l, " who
claims to be one of party of three that
committed the double murder at Holiday g
Cove in May, 1887 and that Van B. Baker
is innocent was read by nearly every one
in this city who could get a paper, and
excited considerable comment, the drift Of
which it was a scheme of Baker or some Of
| his friends to cast doubt upon his guilt
| In order TO better his chances for a pardon.
/ II is in Steubalville like it is in Holli-
day's Cove-thers is not more than one
person out of a hundred who is not firmly
convinced that Baker committed the brutal
double murder and that his punishment is
much lighter than he deserves. One of the
weak points in the letter is where the
writer says be got an ak out of the shed to
break open trunks that were not locked.
Every succe- sive case that comes to
/ light makes it more apparent that the tex
/ iuquisitiOn law, passed by a Republican
Legislature, is an outrage upon the tax
payers Of the State, and only results in
/ benefit TO individuals known as TAX
Chasers," who seek to make money at the
expense of others, by unearthiDg articles
that are taxable under a strict oonstTuc-
ton of the law, but that the officials or the
people never thought should be made 70
pay a tax, much less penalty.

The First Lady InnrnaHSt

1t is related as curious and interesting
fact that Mrs. E. Lynn Linton, the we'll
known novelist, was the first English lady
journalist. 1t is now many years since she
determined to trench upon the province of
the male journalist, and began contribut-
ing to monthly paper. Her coutribu-
tons were gladly accepted, and her ex-
ample nerved other literary ladies to ven
ture into the journalistic arena. Mrs.
Linton lives in flat at Queen Anne's
Mansions, at a giddy hight, which com
mands very extensive view of London
housetops. She is very industrious
writer, but her marvellous facility spares
her that painful, anxious toll which with
other writers is the first condition of turn
ing out good work. Mrs Linton's memory
OF literary personages is remarkable. She
still recollects Robert Southey, who was
near neighbor of her father in Cumber-
land, and bears Walter Savage Landor-
who was, it may be said, her literary
foster-father-in affectionate remembrance.
Singularly enough, Mrs. Linton spent
some years of her life in the house at Gads-
hill, rendered famous by Charles Dickens
association with it. Charles Dickens, bv
the way, was her editor, and had the yerv
highest opinion both of her literary merits
and-no mean thing in writers-her relia-
bility.
