THE LIQUOR SUBJECT.
Judge Milier's Declaration that He will
Grant no More Licenses Without Il
Popular Vote Excitcs Much
Opposition.
WHAT j. 3. SAYS ABOUT IT.

The County Court for January was in
session at Gladcvilc from Tuesday the
9th, through Saturday Of last week a
good deal of business was disposed Of
first and last. At the opening of the
court County Judge Miller made state
ment of interest to the whole people of
Wise county, to the effect that he. would
grant no more liquor license under any
state of case in the county until the end
Of the fiscal year. and would not renew
any Of the licenses for the next year to
persons who were already in the business
and have license, unless the people of
the respective districts vote on the ques-
ton, and vote in favor Of having liquor
sold He said that he had been informed
reliably from many sources that the IL
quor traffic was doing The county a great
injury, and was the cause Of most of the
disorder that had recently occurred. AS
the statute vested that discretion in him
II
and morality. The declaration was APP
plaudcd by many members OF the bar as
well as many citizens, but there was
some dissent among good men, who held
that if liquor is not sold in a legal way
Illicit traffic will do more damage than
would otherwise he done. There were
some ten or fifteen applications for liquor
licenses pending in the court to be heard
at this term, and after this statement of
the Judge all were dismissed, and the APP
picantS pursued their cases no further.
The trial of Mac Robbins. for the muir
der of negro at Norton last year, con-
sumed two or three DAYS of the courts
time 4 great deal Of testimony was in
troduced on both sides and the case was
ably argued for the prosecution by Messrs.
G. A. Hardin. l.. Turner Maury and Com
monwcalth Attorney Bruce, and the de-
Tense by Mr. E. NJ. Fulton and Judge j.
B. Richmond. The jury, after being
locked up over night, hung for the second
time II was understood that eight were
for convctng for murder in the second
degree, one for manslaughtcr and three
for acQuiltal.
The trial of the negro, John Streets,
for shooting John Fulton with intent to
Kill at this place last fall, was postponed
until the February term of court on ac-
count of absence of material witnesses,
chiefly that of Fulton himself, who was
not able to come to court to testify.
The trial of George Salyer for forgery
was also postponed until next term of
court.
An appeal from the estimate of COM
miSsoners, in the case Of the Louisville
x Nashville Railroad Company against the
estate of William D. Jones, deceased, and
others, was postponed until next summer,
and commissioners were appointed to
make COMBINATIONS in several other
cases with the railroad.
Several parties were convicted Of car
rving concealed weapons, shooting in the
public road, etc. and were fined.

THE MEXICAN SWELL.

When He Rides Abroad, He Carrie; a
Fortune With Him.
The Mexican swell rides on q saddle
worth q fortune. 1t is loaded with
silver trimmings, and hanging over it
IS an expensive serape, or Spanish
| blanket which adds to the marnif-
cence OF the whole. His queer-shaped
stlrrups are redolent OF the old aninos.
His bride IS in like manner adorned
with metal i'll the shape Of hall a doz-
en- big silver plates, and to his bit is
attacked d pair of knotted red-cord
reins, which he holds high up aud
loose. He is dressed in Il black velvet
jacket fringed and embroidered with
silver; and huge expensive hat,
perched on his head, is tilted over one
ear. His legs are encascl in dark
tight-iitting breeches, with silver trim
ming down the side seams. but cut so
as, Ill summer weather, to inhibition
from the knee down and Hap aside,
His spurs are silver big and heavy
and costly, and fitted to buckle roonl
his high-cut heel. Under his left Leo
is fastened broad blaied an | l,et1ti-
full carved sword. with a hiIt worthy a
prince of the blood.
The seat of this exquisite is the per-
feet pattern OF q clothes-pin. Leaning
against the cantle he stretches his lers
forward and outward, with heels de-
pressed i'll a fashion which reminds ole
of Sydney Smiths saying that he did
not object to Clergyman riding if on
ly he rode very badly, and turned out
his toes. 1t is the very converse
OF riding close to your horse. In what
it originates it is hard to guess unless
hravado. The cowboy, with an equal
~ short seat and long stirrups, keeps
his legs where they belong, AID if his
leg is out of perpendicular. it will DO
so to the rear.-Harper's Magazine,

some OF the Indians participating In
tho massacre, that the soldiers had
killed over l5J indian that day,
aud wounded twice as many more.
There were over 1900 Indians plrtlcipating
IN the massacre. The reason that Buglcr
Bergin's BODY was not mutilatcd was because
he had killed two Indians by beating them
over the head with his bugIc and they took
TINS method of attestiug his bravery. The
