The Return of the Oyster.

II is happy coincidence that Labor-dsy

are both blessings. and there is nothing IN
either that has a possible tinge of regret
in it. The oyster may be sorry, though his
opinion has never been expressed: but his

him with great satisfaction. Whether one

THE CASE OF MRS. A. w. TOURGEt
Arguing Against the Validity of Her Com
mitment to Jail for Contempt.

NE CHoE OT WHO ~ w. 'OOhoGI'
Arguing Against the Validity of Her Com
mitment to Jail for Contempt.
A dispatch from Buffalo, n. Y, says:
Several well-known lawyers appeared be-
fore Judge Lewis III the Supreme Court
on Monday morning in the case OF Mrs.
Albion w. Tourgee. who was committed to
jail for contempt of court by order
of Special County Judge George Il. Butts,
Of Chatauqua county. Mrs. Tourgee
was ordered by the Court TO ap
pear before referee and testify III
regard 10 her financial relations with her
husband and failed to appear. Some time
ago Ezekiel Fleming brought an action
against Judge Tourgee and recovered q
verdict for $4,000, which was returned
wholly unsatisfed. Then Mr.. Fleming
tried to get his money IN various ways, but
failed. He contends that Judge Tourgee
is IN the habit Of turning all his earnings
over TO his wife, and that he holds no.
thing that can be reached to satisfy the
amount, and that his income is at least $50
a week from the sale of his works and con-
tributions TO tho magazines. Lawyer
Moot argued that the commitment was not
legal, inasmuch as the Judge who ordered
il did not have jurisdiction, it not being
proved that Mrs. Tourgee was guilty OF
contempt; that the lady was not regularly
subpnnaed to appear, and that she has not
handled any funds belonging to her hus-
band since $780,

BLAcKsBURG, Va, September 2, 1880.
A movement has been made by several
gentlemen of our town and vicinity. TO
build dummy line railroad from Cambria
to our town. A number of Koanoke-City
capitalits are interested in the scheme.
Mines of excellent black and gray marble,
together with some magnificent beds OF
iron ore, have been discovered near town.
VALUABLE QUARgIEs.
One quarry of black marble has already
been sold for $40, 900, and company has
inst been organized on the I'd and char
ter asked for The officers for the first year
will be DR.. X. Il. Elicit, president Pro
lessor James III. Felts secretary, and DR..
W. b. Conway, treasurer, with capital OF
500. 900. Our coal-men are hard at work
and making new developments every day.
If the proper steps are taken no other sec
tion of our beautiful Southwest will make
a better showing. The grade OF black
marble is said by experts to be far superior
to the Belgian marble.
HEALTHY POINT.
Our college Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical has Just received very hand

envious reputation. There Is not case OF
typhoid-fever in our our town or college,

It Wasn't Crockett's Coon.

Major Hamilton W. Merrill, former
" of the United States army, furnishes
what he claims to be the true story of
the famous coon. at was not Davy
Crockett's coon which came down. he
says, "but Captain Martin SCOTS. of
the Fifth Regiment United States In
fantrv.
This cunning COON the Major con-
tinues, "did not live in Tennessee,
where Crockett did. but away out West
somewhere in the vicinity of those old
forts where for a number Of years Cap
tain Scott was stationed. and where in
many hunts he distinguished himself
with his unerring rifle.
Captain Scott. so the true story
runs became so famous as a dead shot
that all the wild animals of that vast
frontier in short time knew of his
deadly aim. An old coon hidden away
one day high up among the branches
and thick leaves OF tall tree, on hear
ing stealthy footsteps near his hiding
place cried: Who is that down below
looking up at mep 1T is Martin Scott,
was the reply. What, Captain Martin
ScottP The same. said tho Captain.
Then don't shoot! I'll come down,
said the coon. And sure enough, he
came down.
If Davy Crockett, who fell bravely
in the Alamo in Texas, were alive he
would not dispute this claim made in
behalf of Captain Scott. He had fame
enough, rightfully his own. Aud Cap
tain Scott, too, deserved his reputation.
He was not West Point graduate, but
served years in the army, and was q
brave officer. His life was sacrificed
to his bravery in the bloody battle of
Moline del Rey, September 8, 1917.
His last words were: Captain Martin
Scott never lies down in the face of the
enemy. He had been urged by those
around him, seeing him unnecessarily
eXposed,to lie down in the small trench
occupied by his line OF soldiers. A
moment after he had refused in the
words just quoted, he was struck in the
breast by a bullet and fell dead. ~

An Italian soldier who was bathing
in an African river was bitten on his

An interesting aerial contest was

sued by the eagle, and in order to es-

affair was witnessed by a large crowd

There are now thirteen monitors
lying idle, the original cost of which
was nearly $4,000 In their
present condition they are not only use
less, but a source of expense, and Rear

Germany is bent on naval improve

haven will be begun shortly, as the
work will occupy three wears. This
port will be large enough to accom-
modate one hundred of the largest
vessels at one time, and will be thirty
feet deep at low water. Another i'm.
portant harbor at Emmerlaf. on the
North Sea, is also planned.

The horse will leave musty hay uu.
touched in his bin, however hungry.
He will not drink of water objectiona.
BILE to his questionable sniff or from a
bucket which some odor makes often.
sive, however thirsty. His intelligent
nostril will widen, culver. and query
over the daintiest bit offered by the
fairest of hands, with coaNings that
would make a mortal shut his eyes and
swallow a nauseous mouthful at gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whnuy that her colt is really
her own, until she has a certified nasal
certificate to the fact. A blind horse,
now living, will not allow the approach
of any stranger without showing signs
of anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction is evidently made by
his sense of smell. aud at consid.
cradle distance. Blind horses, as q
rule, will gallop wildly about pasture
without striking the surrounding fence.
The sense of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, when loosened
from the stable go directly to the gate
or bars opened to their accustomed
feeding grounds, and when desiring to
return, after hours of careless wander
ing, will distinguish one outlet and
patiently await its opening. The odoi
of that particular part of the fence is
their pilot ~ it.
The horse, in browsing, or while
gathering heritage with its lips, i;
guided in its choice of proper food en-
tirely by its noStrils. Blind horses dc
not make mistakes in their diet. In
the temple of Olympus bronze horse
was exhibited, at the sight of which six
real horses experienced the most VIC.
lent emotions. ELAN judiciously Oh.
serves that the most perfect art could
not initiate nature sufficiently well tC
produce so strong an illusion. Like
Pliny and PausauiuS, he consequently
atfrms that lin casting the statue q
magician had thrown hippomanes upon
ii, which. by the odor of the plant, de-
ceived the horses, and ther in we have
the secret of the miracle. The scent
alone of buffalo robe will cause many
horses to eyiuce lively terror, aud the
floating scent of u railroad train will
brighten some long after the locomo-
tive is out of sight and hearing.
