were deputy marshals who had just come i'm
from a hard ride and were in poor condition for
a fight. The "moonshiners" were reported
strongly intrenched In their distilleries, nine
miles from Hindman, and to number thirty-flve
men, well armed with Winchester rifles and re-
volvers. They were said to have sworn to stand
together to the death to resist arrest. for they
regard arrest as only a sure road To execution in
revenge for the killing of Wierman. With such

Deputies Laguerre, Laisant, Turques and
Paul DerOulede, leaders of the Patriotic
League, and two other members of that
organization, of the charge of belonging to
a secret society, but imposed a fine of 100

society not authorized by law. The crowd
outside of the courtroom received the an
nouncement of the result of the trial with
cries of "Vive la Ligne,' ."Vive BOulan-
ger" and 'Vive Deroulede."
The revisiOnist committee gave q grand
banquet this evening at which one thou
sand guests were present. General BOu-
LANCER was to have presided. In his absence
Senator Naquet read a speech which had
been prepared by Boulanger for the occa-
sion. In it the General promised that, on
attaining power, he would proclaim a gen.
eral amnesty, and would abrogate the exile
law, which, he said, q strong government
did not need. He denounced what he termed
the miserable motives that had actuated
the government with respect to the rescind-
ing of the decree of exile against the Due
d'Aumale. This action of the government
would have met with his approval if it had
been dictated by a generous sentiment. He
declared that he pitied NJ. Antoine, who
was merely the tool of the OppOrtunists.
Regarding Alsace-Lorraine, he said it ap-
peared to be a criminal offense to discuss
questions relating to that province.

Didn't Sneak to One Another.

F1NDLAY, ONO, Dec. 19.-Twelve
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Grieve,
living in the Eastern part of this County,
ouarreled over a remark made by q
neighbor that one of their children did
not resemble his brothers and sisters.
The quarrel grew in intensity until finally
they became irreconcilable, and entered
into compact of mutual agreement to
the effect thattbey would continue to live
together under the same roof, but never
again would they speak to each other.
This strange obligation they faithfully
observed until few days ago. During
the entire twelve years they ate together
from the same table and entertained
their friends, but in no instance was q
word directly exchanged OF an acknowi.
edgement of the others existence made.
a few days ago some of the church
friends of the couple interested themselves
in the family difference, and brought the
matter before the official board fthe con.
gregation to which they belonged, with the
happy result that reconciliation and
reunion was speedily effected, and ar.
rangements for celebration of the event
have been made for Sunday, at which
time large company of the friends OF
Mr.. and Mr.. Grieve will assemble To hear
them publicly acknowledge their foolish
ness, and take up again the relation they
severed twelve years ago.

Abandoning a Big Town.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Tbe great town of
Shoshopg, North of Cape Colony, South
Africa, has been abandoned by the entire
population. ALI that are left of the peo.
pie, about 10000 in number, who lived in
Shoshong, are few white traders, who
lay there to traffic with the natives Of the
surrounding country. A while ago Kha.
ma, the famous King of Bechuanaland,
and his counsellors, decided that Sho-
shoug had suffered 30 severely from scar
city of water for several years past that
they would seek new site for the town.
A desirable situation was found about 100
miles Northwest of Shoslong, and not g
great ways from the Limpopo River.
1t was large undertaking, as the peo,
pie are quite we'll to do and have good
deal of personal property and about 5O,.
600 cattle. The fields of Indian corn and
millet which they abandoned extended
for many miles around Shoshong The
transfer occupied month, and the people
ir their new huts have at least the GER
tainty of an ample water supply:
Shoshong WAS the largest native town
in South Africs, and pictures of it appear
in aome school biographies and in
Reclus's universal geography.

The carrying out of Cleyeland'a policy
meant good for all America, but the
moneyed powers were afraid of him and
the sound material he employed, and it
was for this reason that the millions were
spent for bis defeat. Should he be NOM
mated again it is not likely that any such
course will be taken second time for his
defeat. In this event the Democracy
will no doubt see the soundest man in the
Union made President again.-Barn,0eD
