Pinevlle (Ky.) Special TO the Republic.
Hanging in a barn in Old Pinevile, three
miles from here, is the most marvellous
freak OF nature ever heard OF or seen. Its
existence, however, is youched for by
Mcssrs. James p. Whallen and Joseph
Leahy, OF Louisville, who have just re-
turned from Old Pinevlle. 1t is well
known that when cucumbers are first cut
from the vine there is a piece OF the stem
which exudes or bleeds. A prominent cit
izen Of Old Pineville sometime ago. named
Jared Gibson, cut his hand, and this juice
got into this cut and his hand commenced

sipelas made its appearance and extended
up bis arm and finally spread over his
whole body. Strange TO say, there was no
pain attending these eruptions OF erysip-
elias, and he continued to gather and pack
his cucumbers and prepare them for
picklng. To the great surprise OF every
body, these little pimples assumed the APP
pearance and form of small cucumbers,
and continued TO grow. Although Gibson
kept well and hearty, he was compelled to
stop work and take to bed. Tho doctors
and auacks from around here visited him.
One prescribed one thing and one another.
One wished TO bleed him; one wanted to
/ cut the cucumbers off, another said not to

trip ever made across the Atlantic by any
steamer. The new vessel made the yoy.
age from Hamburg 10 New York, distance
OF 3,O4S miles, inleight days one hour, an
equivalent OF six days two hours from the
Fasinet to New York. Taking of four
hours which the steamer was delayed on

Journalistic Deecney Pays.

II Il were true that the viler journal Is
the greater are lis chances Of securing a
large and profitable circulation, there
would be good reason TO despair Of the
world. Human society would be utterly
rotten, aud in all employments scoundrcls
would have the advantage. But there is
not in the world an example Of a newspa-
per which has made large and permanent
success by catering TO vicious tastes purely.
Tho newspaper Of greatest circulation In
tho world Is the Pitt Journal, Of Paris, and
Il u published In the country which has
the reputation OF being most tolerant Of
literary indecency. Yet there is no paper
anywhere which ismoro careful toprcserye
high aud pure moral tone. The crcum-
stance that such journal is demanded by
the great body OF the French people fur
nishes convincing proof that French soci-
city Is sound at the core, despite the talk TO
the contrary OF 10 many superficial OBJ
servers. When Mr.. Bonners Ledgr was
circulating In this country by the half mil.
lion weekly II maintained its popularity by
preserving a moral tone, which made II
respected by the teachers OF religion gcner-
ally. The number OF vile journals has do
creased rather than increased within re-
cent years, and their aggregate circulation
Is much less than Il used 10 be.

Ellington g. Co.'s Grocery on Marshall
Avenue Destroyed-Loss $4,000.
About o'clock this morning fire
broke out in Ellington & Co.'S grocery
store, at the head OF Marshall avenue,
near the bridge. Mr.. Ellington was in the
building asleep when the flames burst in
on him and barely escaped with his life.
In his haste to get out he says he left 500
in the cash drawer. The flames spread to
the adjoining building, once oc-
cupied rs butcher shop but
lately vacant. A little cottage occupied
by Mr.. league to the south OF the
grocery also caught fire. The fire engines
we're promptly on the spot and after some
fifteen minutes work had extinguished the
flames, but not before the grocery had
been completely Quilted. The adjoining
buildings were also badly damaged. MIR.
Ellington estimates his loss at 5000, covered
by insurance in the Phoenix, OF Hartford
The buildings are the property oil MIR
Crowley, and his loss will approximate

attributes the origin OF the fire to stove
