NO. 46.

The Court of Appeals decided in
the case of VIM. Harper, sentenced by
Madison Circuit Court to one years
imprisonment in the penitentiary and
to pay $500 fine that the sentence
was not excessive as argued on ap-
peal. The Court says: There is 10
doubt that gambling is great social
and moral evil that leads to crime and
dissipation and wrecks fortunes and
brings poverty and misery upon the.
helpless and innocent, and it is cer-
tainIy not only the duty of the Com
monwealth to enact such penalties
against the gamblers themselves as
will deter them, but also to enact such
penalties against such persons as hire
themselves out to set up and carry on
the gambling hells. And if it requires,
confinement in the penitentiary and
disfranchisement to prevent or check
this practice, the Legislature has the
Constitutional right, and it is its duty,
to enact such alaw."

ginia to spend his>last days in retire
ment, If not in solitude, and he settled
on an estate inherited from his ances-
tors, including what is called the
Northern Neck of Virginia, consisting
of many thousand acres, and he en-
gagged George Washington, when a
youth of sixteen years of age, to snr-
vey his lands west OF the Blue Ridge.
Here he spent several years roughing
1t on the border. The Northern Neck
of Virginia, which begins on the
Chesapeake Bay and lies between the
Potomac and Rappahanoc Rivers,
crossing the Blue Ridge and passing
through it with the Potomac at Har-
per's Ferry, extends with the heads
thereof in the Allegheny mountains
and thence a straight, crossing the
North Mountain and Blue Ridge at
the headquarters of the Rappahanoc.
In passing, Washington stopped at
Greenway Court, the name of the
Fairfax residence, and warm
friendship grew up between them, and
through that means Washington got
the reputation ofa man of great ex.
ecutive ability. One of the Fairfax
family married Gen. Washington's
oldest brother, Lawrence Washington,
and it is not improbable that L Wash
ington got Mt. Vernon by his wife,
daughter of w. Fairfax, who lived
near Mt. Vernon.
In November, 1853, Washington set
out on his mission with small party
and traversed the woods to the Indian
village called Logstown, where he was
told he would find the FIench COM
mandant near Lake Erie. On the
envoy's arrival there he found Chew
alier De st. Pierre, the commandant,
and he met Washington with cour-
tesy and dignity. Washington handed
him the Governors protest, and, after
reading it, the old soldier replied: 81
am here, sir, by the order of my GEN
eral, and I assure YOU, sir, 1 will con-
form my actions to his orders with
that resolution that is expected of a
worthy officer aqd soldier" With
that response Washington had no al
ternative but to return.

A Good Suggestion.
LFrom the Dubuque iowa, Telegraph.

[From the Dubuque qowa) Telegraph
The adjourning of the impeach-
ment court last Saturday, on account
of Gen. Weaver's belly-ache, cost the
people of this commonwealth nearly
$500. One dose of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
would have saved this expense; and
we suggest, as matter of economy
and humanity, that the State provide
against future contingencies of this
nature, by furnishing each Senator
with bottle of that valuable remedy.

Quality Increasing Demand,

There is an increasing demand for
choice hog products all over the
country. What is the reason for it ?
1t is found in the improved quality
since intelligent feeders and breeders
began sending to market the sweet,
tender juicy nine or ten months pig
instead of the tough, strong hog that
had withstood the storms of two or
three winters and the heat OF as
many summers; wallowed in the
mud in summer, sweat in the straw
pile in winter, learning to climb .
fence, unlatch gate, crowd through
picket fence and outrun all the
neighbors' dogs. Verify the quiet,
orderly, contented, well-behaved pig
of to-day is pleasing contrast to his
unruly ancestor. The devils have
gone out of him, and he is no more
evil.-EX.

Mr.. Florence'S Advice.

Florence, the actor, once gave some
advice to friend in these word:
"My Dear: One gallon of whis-
Ky costs about So. Now, if you must
drink, buy gallon and make your
wife the barkeeper. When you are
dry, give her 10 cents for drink, and
when the whisky is gone she will
have, after paying for it, $6.75 left,
and every gallon thereafter will yield
the same profit. This money she
should put away, so that when you
have become an inebriate, unable to
support yourself, stunned by every
respectable man, your wife will have
enough to keep you until your time
comes to fill a drunkard's grave.

An Arizona Wonder.

G. K. Gilbert and Marcus Baker,
the former chief geologist of the
United States Geological Survey,
with a force of men, have returned
to Flagstaff from Canyon Diablo:
where they were sent by the Gov
ernment to take observations and
make map of the region where 50
much meteoric iron has been found.
They spent sixteen days investigat-
ing the mammoth hole in the ground
supposed to have been made by a
meteor. This hole is 655 feet deep
and two and one-eighth miles in
circumference. The theory is that
from the appearance of the walls
and the fact that they have found
many pieces of meteoric iron
around the hole, the meteor pene-
trated the earth to a depth Of 7OU
or 800 feet before it exploded and
this accounts for the strange phe-
nomenon. Three pieces of the me-
teor weighing 800, 900 and 800
pounds respectively were found on
the mesa within two miles Of the
crater and are now in the Smithso-
nian Institute. Besides these they
found many pieces weighing from
two ounces upward.-Tombstone

arms and kiss him smack on the

ences, she will be at her periheliea

attempt of man to escape from tho
sunshine of her affection. He who

gins who have looked through many

and have ever been disappointed
that hope is not dead even for them;
that the door Of opportunity will
soon be agar, and they alone will be
to blame if they enter not, aye, and
shut and barricade it behind them.
