ALIttIe Romance.

Edward Graybill was released to-
day from the Indiana prison south,
he having been unexpectedly par
doned by Governor Hovey late last
evening. Graybill some months since
was arrested in New Albany on the
charge of stealinga sack offiour from

and a jury gave him a sentence ofone
year in the prison. He was received
at that institution Oct. 20 conse-
quently he has served fifty days of
his sentence. On the trial he pleaded
guilty, but said his family was starry

THERE'S something ola history con-

of the war a child was born, and after
O lapse of several days was carefully

sufficient clothing and money, and
quietly taken to what Is known as

line ofthe Jacksonville, Madison and

left on the door step of the residence.
Appended to the handle of the basket
was a note bearing the inscription
"Name my baby Eddie" plainly
written in female hand. A mar
named Graybill resided in the HOUSE
where the infant was left. He wal
the first to discover it, and on taking
itinto the house he consulted his wife
and it was decided that they take thu
child and raise it. The boy wa
named Graybill, and the name ED

When Graybill grew to manhood
he left his adopted home and starte'

The campaign ofthe French troops
In Dahomey is attracting much at
tention at present, and the royalist
Journals of France comment scorn-
fully on the shooting down of women
warriors by crack troops with Hotch-
kiss cannon.
Dahomey is kingdom of Africa,
on the west or Upper Guinea coast, be-
tween latitude 6 degeees and 8 degrees
north. High mountain ranges hem it
on in the north and northeast, on the
west it is bounded by Ashantee, and
On the south by the gulf Of Benin. It's
area varies with the success of it's
despotic sovereign in war, and it's
population is estimated at 500, 900
to 100000. The country has been
known to Europeans since the begin
ming of the seventeenth century, and
there have been French, English and
Portuguese factories on the coast at
intervals for 200 years.
The tactics ofDahomey's sovereign
have always been to begin trading
with Europeans, then to fall upon
and massacre them. 1t is the destruc-
ton of two French factories" or
trading establishments, on the Da-
, honey coast, which has brought
about the present struggle. The
: king, who is more ferocious and bes.
tiai than any OF his predecessors, il
not at all alarmed at the French
, invasion. He has trotted out his
: male and female army, for he has
warriors OF both sexes, and has giyeI
! them good fight, taking some pris

Col. c. w. Il. Black is an ardent Republi-
can, but he can appreciate ability and clev-
erness regardless of politics. He writes to
the Martinsburg Herald
"West Virginia is fortunate in being rep
resented in both houses of Congress by men
in the prime of life and of far more than
average ability. Senators Kenna and Faux
ner are both we'll equipped for their legis
lative duties and are yet young enough
to have retained all the energy and ambition
of youth. 1t is doubtful whether any State
in the Union is more creditably or faithful
ly represented in the Senate than West Vir-
ginia. In the House the delegation is
equally divided politically, and in point of
ability it is a credit to the State. Mr.. vii.
son is the senior in point Of service, as well
as the best known throughout the country.
He has risen to the front rank on the Dem
Ocratic side, and is considered one of the
hardest workers and most faithful members
of the House. His colleague, John D. AL
derson, is new member, but very indus
trious one. He is perfect specimen of manly
beauty, and if woman suffrage prevailed,
ought to be sure of seat in Congress as
long as he lives"
