NM ROBBED A BURGLAR.
A Story which may not be true, though 1t
comes Straight.

A Story which may not be true, though 1t
comes Straight.
A very good story, vouched for as
true, was told to an INTELLIaENcER man
on condition that the names OF the two
men who figured in it should not be
printed. Thetwo men were barkeep'
er and burglar, equally well known
opponents OF their several arts, and it
may be well to preface 1t with the ex.
plauation that the narrator claimed to
have learned 1t, not from the barkeeper,
but from the other fellow.
The night before the city election a
bet was offered in the saloon where the
barkeeper pEesides oil night. He reach.
ed into his pocket for money to take it,
then exclaimed: "By jing, l left my
roll living on tho floor by my washstand.
Il dropped out Of my pocket while l was
washing, and | forgot IT. I'd be in a fix
II I went homein the morning and found
1t had been swept out or chewed up by
the dog, wouldn't II"
Ordinarily the barkeeper would not
have got home till daylight, but that
night the saloon made chow OF obeying
the law and shut up at midnight.
Knowing, perhaps, the force would have
to "work double turn" the next day, he
went straight home, picked up his roll
and was preparing to retire, when his
little terrier dog growled. The man lis
tened and heard suspicious clicking
noise. He turned the gas low, and
cautiously peeped out his door. Up the
stairs came burly burglar. The bar.
keeper knew him, and when he reached
the door, was fixed for him. He sud.
denly turned the gas full on, and pre-
senting his revolver, said very quietly,
but impressiVely enough 70 be obeyed:
"Throw up your hands"
Then he ordered the burglar into his
room, and after making him confess that
a man who was in the saloon when he
missed his money had told the thief
aboutit and directed him to his room,
he proceeded to do very unusual thing.
He actually went through the burglars
pockets aud took everything he found
In them! Among the booty is said to
have been a cheap watch, bunch OF
keys, a huge knife, fine revolver and
SIG in money.
Not content with this, he made the
burgler, when he was done with him,
leave without his shoes, which had been
carefully placed in the hall.
The reporter did not take much stock
in the story, but he dropped into the
saloon and remarked casually, naming
the burglars steerer: g doesn't loaf
here IS much as he used to, does he2"
"No; did you want to see him?"
ooh, not particularly: lust sort OF
suspected he wouldn't"
The barkeeper looked up interestedly,
aud the reporter winked knowing
"Who the d-told you that 2" the bar.
keeper asked.
"sSy, for Gods sake don't you print
that story! These yere fellows might
seud me over the roadm
The reporter offered to bet no, and
the barkeeper pulled out his roll and
smiled.

While Hon. G. W. Atkinton has been
giving close attention to his duties as
Congressman, taking rank among the
most industrious men in the House, he
has found time to write sketches OF the
prominent men OF West Virginia and to
oversee the publication OF the work
Now he surprises his friends with a
poem Of dramatic movement, a legend oil
moonshinins in the Cumberland Noun
tains.
The little book is entitled "N1aid Of
Cumberland; or, the Sad Fate OF the
Moonshiner's Daughter" Mr.. Atkin'
son youches for the truth OF the story,
the facts being within his personal
knowledge. The recital is full OF tell
ing situations and pathetic interest.
The lines are easy.aowing. Some ofthe
descriptions are decidedly picturesque.
The opening will give taste oil the
quality:
On classic Cumberland's Alpine cTeS9
Where golden eagles make their heSIA'
Where lofty cliff and rocky glen,
And RurHlIpg rivulets desceudi
Where towering pine and taaSSiEe OAK IT,.
Have reared their hsudS since Nature bpOAe'
And b0de mankind behold and draw
True wisdom from her righteous law;
Where myriad flowers brlghS and sweet
That bloom ana die beneath their ieet;
Where birds Of varied pluInHR0 dwell,
From morn till night their music sven
On tree and rock aud air aud vale,
TIL out " sight IN ether sail;
Where clouds that float and fills that loan,
And stars that SHINE In purple done,
There iWRlt, 10 times gone by, lass
That cAlmGst judgment mukGS me class
A heroine Of charming mold,
With virtues many yet untold,
Who plned aud died Ia mountains Wild
Because her sire disc Gned his child.

SO darkness yields TO sweetest light
And Joy from grief Is often found.

The Correspondence for tho Last Year o,

The Correspondence for tho Last Year Of
Moro Than Usual Interest.
WASHINGTON, July THE diplomatic
correspondence for 1890, which viii
probably be published within the next
fortnight, will make q volume of
nearly 500 pages of unusual interest
In the forthcoming volume great
deal of space is devoted to cor
respondence relating to the Behring
sea controversy, much Of which has al
ready been made public. 1t is here
brought together in regular order, with
all the papers in the case. Much space is
also devoted to the exclusion of Ameii-
can cattle. swine and meat products from
European markets, and the correspond
ence shows that the arguments and
facts adduced by the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States have pro-
duced n strong impression, and will
probably result in the complete remov-
al of the injurious and unjustifiable
prohibitions and restrictions which
have been inforced against this
country. Another important feature
of the report is that which relates to
the multifarious questions constantly
arising in regard to American citizen
ship and the rights and privileges of
native born as well as as naturalized
citizens of the United States who reside
in foreign countries.

M'HENRY'S DEATH

LONDON, July LIT is now said that
the late James McfIenry, the we'll
known financier and old-time railroad
litigant, whose body was exhumed on
June 90 by order of Home Secretary
Matthews. was insured in England and
the United States for over $4,000, 000
The insurance companies, il is added.
suspect that Mr.. McHenry committed
suicide by poison, thus rendering void
the insurance policies on his life.
The body has been reinterred
after being subjected to q care
full post-mortem examination IL was
intended to conceal the exhumation
until the result of the analysis of the
contents and condition of the stomach
was made known. and in fact if the ex-
animation had resulted In showing that
Mr.. McHenry's death was not caused
by poison il is more than probable that
the government officers and others
would have kept the exhumation n
secret Mr.. McHenry's friends scout
the idea OF suicide and are indignant at
the publicity which the affair has now
attained. 1t is expected that the anal
ysis of the dead mans stomach will
not be completed before the end Of the
week
