Love may live an age, il you do not

mouthful of sweet words.
To BE patient with fashionable people is
the best kind of discipline.
WHEN girls are old enough for a lover,
they are match for any gray head.
A WOMAN is not TO be counted your own

The best evidence of love is to sign
paper relinquishing right 10 the brides fort

WOMEN who buy their social progress will
.early always faint at the sight of a wash
tub.
FAMILIARITY with servants is good indi-
cation of the origin of some people of the
day.
CLERGYMES who only preach for effect are
never noted for success in salvation OF
souls.
ABOUT the only tenderness in the tailor
made woman is that produced by tight

The girl is foolish who encourages the at

TIE man who has the courage of his con-
victions in these days is looked upon as q

The Thuriow Gun.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-The Star prints
the following: ut seems that the cast steel
pitch breech- loading rifle known as the
Thurlow gun, which apparently passed
the Government firing tests successfully
at Annapolis last week. is not going to
have sucf. al easy victory over the hooped
or built up cannon after all. The official
report of the officer conducting the tests
mentioned certain defects discovered in
the bore of the gun that will probably give
ground for final report adverse to its ac-
ceptance by the Government. They are
thought to be dite to the gas bubbles that
formed during the casting process. Friends
of the cast steel gun are hopeful that the
defects noted will not cause the gun to be
rejected. The cast gun is greatly cheaper
than the other and takes about one-fourth
as long or less in construction"

Will Prevent the Exodus.

Wayne County, and the local military
companies have been kept ready for SER
vice. Every year there is more or less of
an exodus of negroes worked up by emil
grafton agents, and this causes serious
trouble to the farmers who depend upon
the negroes TO pick their cotton and do
farm work. This year the number Of
negroes leaving has been greater than ever,
and the farmers have decided to stand the
emigration agents no longer. A telegram
from Wayne County last night brought the
news that nearly all the white citizens are
armed and fully determined to stop the
negro emigration.

The Duke of Wellington at one period

The Duke of Wellington at one period
of his life was rather fond of telling a Ger.
tain pg-sticking story and persons who
knew of his weakness used to lead the
conversation so that the great man might
have an opportunity of relating his favor
ite anecdote. But at length he became
suspicious, and any allusion to the subject
made him extremely angry. About TINS
time-nearly sixty years ago-the Duke
was staying at Belvoir. One of the visitors
at the castle had never heard any thing
about the pig-sticking adventure. and
was easily persuaded that the Duke
would be pleased if he were asked
to tell his famous story. Accordingly
one morning after breakfast in the long
gallery, when seated not far from
the Duke, the gentleman ventured
to tell his grace how much he should like
to hear some of his experiences of Indian
sport. At first the Duke was inclined to
be seriously offended, but looking around
and discovering from the faces CT the
company that the inquiry had been
prompted, and that the request was made
in perfect good faith, he quietly got up
and drawing his arm through the gentle-
mans said: II shall be delighted 10 tel
you all you want to know, but let US come
TO the end of the gallery, where we can
talk quietly" A pleasant half hours con-
versation ensued, and it was not until some
hours later that the intended victim
learned what triumph he had achleVed
over the practical jokers, and what quiet
rebuke had been administered to them.

Testimony All In.

TOPEKA Kan.. Feb. 1.-The Penitentiary
Investigation Committee met yesterday
morning and DR.. krohn was put on the
stand. He was questioned as to his
knowledge of the letter testified to by
Luitweiler and said he knew nothing of
such letter or any such terms as men,
toned in the same, nor did he
know of any agreement between
Buckley, Barnes and Loper 10y
which the directors We're 10 be fixed or
taken care of if such existed Never had
any of the above mentioned persons held
any conference with him, or attempted to
do so, concerning the management of the
penitentiary.
Contractor F. C. Buckley was put on the
stand and examined regarding his connec-
tion with the letter alleged to have been
written by him to Dr. Krohn, and he ac-
knowledged he had written it when he was
angry at Director Hiatt and wanted to
persuade krohn to use his influence
against HATS reappointment When
reading the letter over he saw some false
assertions were contained in il. and there
fore did not send it, but thought he had
DESTROYED the entire letter. The reference
in the letter to an agreement existing
between Loper, Buckley and Barnes to
fix" the directors was entirely false, be-
ing manufactured maliciously for the pur-
pose of injuring Hiatt. The witness con-
fessed that he had thought of using such
dishOnOrable means of getting even with
Hiatt for no definite reason except that
Hiatt h ad told him he could not have n
contract unless an old balance standing
against him on the State books, which
witness claimed was nos due was settled.
Mr.. Shindler, the next witness, testified
that Buckley had read him a statement in
which he asserted that among all Atchison
men Loper stood nearest Governor Martin;
that several meetings were held in Atchi-
son; that Buckley gave Hiatt money
at different times. Buckley also told
him that certain man in Atchson
could tell great deal of the manner
of letting coal contracts and said he had
Hiatt and Barnes ON the hip. The follow
ing Sunday Buckley told him that he had
unfortunately lost the statement referred
to, and he could not give the expose he in
tended.
The committee then adjourned.
