And now. at a sensible age,
The world I can truly enjoy.

That man at his best will deceive
The angel he captures with lies.
I'm glad for my lucky escape
From Cupid's unmerciful snare;

The Persians are good riders, and
an English naval officer, "who had
gone ashore at Abushcher, and was
there mounted on a spirited horse,
afforded no small entertainment to the
Persians by his bad horsemanship. :"
He was greatly mortified at this, and
an English-speaking native, with whom
he had some slight acquaintance, en-
deavored to comfort him on the follow
ing day in those words: Don't be
ashamed, sir; nobody knows you, Bad
rider3 | tell them you, like oil En-
glish, ride well, but that time
they see you, you very drunk"
The worthy Persian thought that
it would have been a reproach for a
man of a warlike nation not to ride
we'll, but none for European to get
drunk" Some mounted Arabs endeav-
ored to entertain Mr.. Layard, the ex-
plorer OF Ninevah. They would gal
lop off to a distance, put their lances
at rest, and then make deliberately for
his head. The compliment consisted
in stopping the charger suddenly short
so that the spear point would just
touch his face. He naively adds that
his life would have been sacrificed if
the well-trained steeds had made the
false step, or by any inequality
in tho ground disappointed the expec-
tations Of their masters. " Saturday

The TWIN BLUFFS ROAD.
Land Owners Have Given the
Right Of Way.
Only the Money Needed and the Road Will
he Built-COst Estimated at Nine
and Ten Thousand Dollars.


be Built-Cost Estimated at Nine
and Ten Thousand Dollars.
A few weeks ago the FREE TRADER
announced the fact that road was
TO be opened between Twin Blutts
and the county house-thus furnish
ing an easy and available highway be-
tween Twin Bluffs and this city. AT
that time it was rightfully supposed
by the majority, that there would be
no trouble in securing the right or
way from the parties owning the land.
But subsequent events proved that Il
great big kick" had sprung up, origi.-
mating among the farmers who owned
the land along the proposed right OF
way, i'm that they conceived the IDEA
that, Notwithstanding the road would
be largely beneficial to them, they
might sell the land at a big figure. }"
This delay in the cOnsummati0n OF
the plan, brought the matter into It'll
CATION, and Friday the matter was
to be settled by jury att hearing
before Esq. Tryon, by which it was
sought, if possible, tOcOndemn the land
and secure the right of way at fair
valuation.
1IlOT W tllc IlouI Stl lbl lliN suit'
however, Mr.. Jas. McQuade held u
consultation with the land owners and
commissioners and all parties, includ-
ing the jury summoned, dispensing
with the suit, went down to Twin
Bluffs: and after looking over the
ground of the proposed road, held a
meeting in Iimmerman's barn in that
vicinity, and after spirited debate
for an hour, in which Mr.. Laughlin
presented in an able speech the farm
ers' side of the question, Jas. McQuade
responding in behalf of the road. The
result of the conference was that the
land owners signed the right of way
through the land for the sake OF the
proposed road, and that, too, without
asking any recOmpense whatever.
Thus the matter is amicably settled,
and now it only remains for the road
to be surveyed and the bridges built,
how to do which the future will have
to develop. That the road will be of
value, not only to the farmers owning
the land, but equally to Twin Bluffs
and Ottawa. there is not doubt, but
the cost of the bridges is going to he a
considerable amount of money.

ing extended welcome to a man who
would do as great Il service for the
south side as the other but in il splr-
itual, rather than a material way.
Mr.. Lines responded in appropriate
terms, and stated that he had been
given choice between Ottawa and
another place and had Immediately
