a Quiet Mannered Kentuckian who
Has Killed Fifteen Men.

1t is tit that heroes should be emu
merated who participated in the
hardships and dangers in Captain
Browns raid into the woods OF
Knott, and first of all the story OF
Bill Osborn, the mildest hammered
gentleman that ever kept private
graveyard. Bill keeps cross-road
grocery in the little hamlet Of
Goodloe. He is apparently forty
or forty-fve years of age, of medi-
nm height and sparely built. He
dresses in black cloth and wears a
black hat with low crown. He
has face which would be hard for
a physiogomist to read. 1t is not
a bad face; in fact, it has rather a
mild, benevolent expression. The
nose is large and slightly tip-tilted.
The eyes are blue; there is a little
moustache on the upper lip; the
corners of the mouth turn down
ward. The jaw is heavy and Of
irregular outline and the chin is
strong. In the raid Bill rode lit
tie bay mare which bounced along
the road in hard trot. If he had
worn a white shirt instead of the
red flannel garment which appeared
above his vest, he might have been
taken for a Methodist parson riding
on his circuit.
~
Osborn has romantic history.
He has killed fifteen men. When
the war broke out he enlisted in the
southern army and fought in Ken
lucky, Virginia and Tennessee un-
der General Marshall. In 1862 what
was known as the confscation law
was passed. 1t gave bad men a
chance to perpetrate outrages under
the semblance Of law. Osborn's
father lived at this time in Wolf
county. One day he was blowing
in the field when sixteen of his
neighbors galloped up, riddled him
with bullets, burned his house and
drove off his stock. Bill was with
Marshall in Eastern Kentucky.
when news of the outrage reached
him. He summoned few of his
friends about him, mounted his
horse, and never stopped riding till
he reached the ruins of his old
home. Over the charred embers of
that home he swore an oath of
vengeance to make the killing of
his fathers murderers his life work.
lie learned their identity from his
mother and his neighbors. The
murderers, after their dastardly
work, had set out for Mount Sterl-
ing to join the Union army. Bill
and his men set out at once in hot
pursuit. He overlook seven of the
men while they were encamped be-
tween the outer and second lines oil
pickets of the Union army. He
ran them off into the hills by night
and the next morning he stood
them in row and with his own
hand shot them down. Afterward
he ate as hearty a breakfast as he
ever ate III his life. Soon after
this he captured three more of the
men at West Liberty, in Morgan
county, and killed them.

Keeping Moses Down.

The colored people in a small
town in Georgia had gathered at
their church to hold funeral services
over theremains Of woman who
had died a couple of days before, and
the ceremonies were about to begin
when the bereaved husband, who
was a large, corpulent man, beck
oned to one of the men standing in
the vestible to follow him to the
horse-shed in the rear Of the church.
When they had arrived there the
bereaved turned to him with:
"See heah: Moses, | wants an un-
derstandin' wild yo' befo' dis funeral
goes any furder."
What is it, Julius?" asked the
other.

How foolish man appears when he
is arguing with a railroad company
about something that cannot be helped
For instance he has purchased ticket
to, say, New York. He intends to travel
at night comfortably in a lower berth
on Pullman palace sleeping car. He
steps jauntily up to the window Of the
Pullman Office and says, in an offhand
way, "Give me lower berth on the 7:15
for New York" as he lays down q five
dollar bill. Haven't berth left, sir. "
"What" 1t is impossible to describe
the awful emphasis with which this
monosyllable is thundered forth, but we
have all heard it and know how it
sounds.
Then follows a long TRADE by the
traveller, who cannot understand why
some one is not to be turned out of the
berth he has paid for to make room foI
the late conner; why there are not more
berths in a car; why there are not more
sleepers on the train, and, above all,
why the imperturbable clerk in the
ticket Office does not hold conference
on the instant with the superintendent
of the Pittsburg division of the railroad
to elk it so that he can get berth.
There are experiences Of this kind fol
the clerks every day, especially during
| the busy season. This is the reason they
are not disturbed each time the inevi
table too-late man comes foaming up tC
the window. And then the too-late man
who will not accept the inevitable
always looks such fool.-PittsburG

The most valuable part of the alba
tross is its plumage. The neck, breast
and belly are snowy white, shading deli
cately into gray and dusky brown at the
sides and back and the feathers are so
curled and elastic that the skin with the
plumage on it is an inch or an inch and
half thick. No finer material can be got
for muffs, cuffs, collarets, capes or the
trimming OF lining of cloaks and robes.
1t is very light, yet exceedingly warm.
while for appearance its dove like
smoOthness and purity cannot be ex-
celled. 1t has the advantage, too, of
being very durable, the natural oil of the
bird preserving the skin and feathers for
many years, while the characteristic
musky odor is easily overcome by cam
phor,
1t is wonder that some enterprising
furrier or modiste does not set the fashion
Of wearing albatross plumage and send
to Antipodes or the Crosets for a seasons
supply. There would be money in it,
not only by its novelty but by its useful
ness. AT the same time I hope it will
not be done, because if once the skin of
the albatross acquired commercial
value, and the ruthless hand of fashion
were laid on its smooth white neck, the
poor bird would soon be driven from its
secluded haunts and might even be in
danger of determination. May the day

A Curious Library.

In 1867 n rich collector of stamps,
coins eggs, woods, etc, presented the
town museum at Cassel Germany, with
one Of the most remarkable set of books
known to the bibliomaniac or botanist-
library of 500 volumes, each book
made of different kind of wood The
book of each volume is formed Of the
bark Of tree, the sides of the wood in
its mature state, the top of the wood rs
taken when young, and the bottom of
the same wood after it has been dried
and seasoned. When opened the book
is found to be without leaves, box
shaped containing the flower, seed,
fruit and leaf Of the tree of which the
box book is made Australia is said to
have over 1000 species of trees large
enough to work up into books after the
fashion Of those in the Cassel museum.
AT the time of the Melbourne colonial
exposition Of 1866 Col. Clamp exhibited
a large collection of woods made into
books, each alphabetically arranged, and
labeled with both the common and the
scientific name of the species Of wood
from which the dainty little wooden
volumes were fashioned. The collection
was gotten mp to show the wonderful
possibilities of Australian forestry. TAX
ing advantage Of the wooden library at
Cassel and the commendable efforts of
Col Clamp, the antipodean wood col
lector, Russia employed cabinetmaker
during the entire winter of 1s77-7s at
making I, library of Russian woods,
which were classified and arranged for
the Russian exhibit at the Paris exposi-
ton Of the year last named. As with
the Cassel library, this Russian wood
collection showed the wood in its several
growths, as well as fruit, leaves and
seeds, either natural OF initiated in wax.

sea otter Not Extinct.
