HOW HE GOT THE HAMS.
Uncle Ned Convicted Himself of Incl
 hut the Court Aeauittcd Hin,

Uncle Ned Convicted Himself of Then, but the Court Acquitted Him.
 "Or Unc' Ned" was up charged with stealing four hams. They had been found in his possession, and as there was no getting around that, Unc' Ned sought other means of de fense.
 "Ya-as, youah honah, 1 init dat dey was foun in my house; but pom my Oat', sab, didn't steal 'em."
 Unc' Ned was a short thickset man, with bandy legs, a short beard on his chin and an unctuous smile, which he now turned on his honah" and the courtroom.
 You see, youah honah, on de night in question l was a-walkin home along de railro' track It was purity dark, sah. n I couldn' see very fur. N den just all at once, sah, a man peared befoh me. Lori l was frighten', sah, turrible frighten. N l stoppe-d-d, right stock still. youah honah.n
 And what did this man do, Uncle Nedi" inquired the judge.
 Well, sah, dunno wevver you'll b'lieve it or no, sah. but dat man he'd foh bundles undah his ahm, 'n"-
 Which arIni"
 "Foh God, sah, can't quite dire- member, but it must we bin hees of ahm. N den dis man come up to were l was standin h he says, says he, Say, Unc' Ned, heah's foh ham-ms.' N Is'pose, youah shonah, now dat l see how eberyt'ing was, dey was the foh hams dat was Dur. tscated, sah. Now, wen dat man says, 'Heah's foh hams, I didn't say nothin. Dey might be foh hams an dey mightn, but dat didn't 'sider me.
 But wen he went on n says, Say, Unc' Ned, you take desc foh hams home n keep dem foh me till nex' week-k n I'll gib you two ob lem. cose took 'em lak any colohed gem men would. But how do you s'pose dat I cd tell dat dey was stolen hams, sah, is what I w'd lakt knowY" And thus Unc' Ned concluded his defense and took his seat, assuming a very grieved expression.
 Describe the man who met YOU and told you to take care of the hams for him, said the judge.
 'Wa-al," said Unc' Ned slowly. cooking one eye and looking up at the ceiling to help his memory. fits putty ha-hd to say, youah honah, fur it was dahk, turrible dahk. But ez near ez I kin recollec' he was short. thickset sort of. man. speaking very slowly, ''wid kindah bowlegs, putty big, wid bea'yd on hees chin, n ez near ez I could see he was kin dah dah-k complected," describing as accurately as any one could have done.
 Then there was roar in the court room. but Unc' Ned was finally ac- quilted, as no one could prove that 1 he had committed the theft. Minne- apolis Tribune.

Ru..,.n Women.

It is said that the peasant women in Russia are as ignorant today as they were in the times of Peter the Great, but girls of the upper and middle class receive far better edu- cation than the women in Austria and Germany. The natives of Little Russia are very beautiful, but at the same time simple and unaffected. In the northern women there Is more consciousness of the power to charm and a better knowledge of the man. ner in which they should exercise such influence. Russians are less sentimental and more constant in their love than German and French women, approaching more closely to the practical English girl.-Detroit Free Press.

rlas.,.a win Celebrate.

FLAGSTAFF, June l7.-l Special Correspondence. IA few days ago & notice appeared in your paper to the effect that the people of Flag staff had about given up their 4th of July celebration, and would prob ably attend the Williams celebra- ton. Will you kindly correct this statementi The people of Flag staff, at no time since the organiza- ton of their Fourth-of July com mittees, have wavered in their de- termination to give the people of Coconino county the grandest cele- bration that ever woke the echoes from the San Francisco peaks to the uttermost limits of John Ma irons reservation. They are making preparations on an elaborate scale, and are fully determined that no one shall visit the town on the event of the celebration who shall not re- ceiye q full measure of enjoyment for the money expended, A novel feature of the celebration will be a barbecue, which Is being conducted by experts in the science of roasting whole beeves, mutton, etc. This will certainly be an attraction to all who expect to bring appetites with them.
 Ample hotel accommodations have been provided, aud should they not prove adequate, Flagstaff will be proud t, extend that hospitality which springs from every household in the community, and which she knows SO well how to invoke whan the occasion demands it.
 Flagstaff wishes Williams all sue cess in her proposed celebration. She can afford to. The scores who will stop of at Williams will not be missed from the thousands who will congregate at Flagstaff. It seldom excites the envy of the OK to ob- serye the toad infate itself with vain endeayor to .!size up' with the ex. But as Flagstaff is in this cele- bration business to stay, she does not wish to be represented other wise. F. 5, .,

LET US look calmly and disposition
ately at what will be the effect OF
Democratic division in Tennessee-in
the South-nOw:
First we will be in the hands OF the
Republican party.
Secondly, we will have the Force
bill on us,
Thirdly, the tide OF progress now
setting IN towards us will be turned
aside, and we firmly believe il is their
desire to see the South set back, that
their own iron and other states may
prosper, now rivale1 by the South,
that has caused the Republicans in
the North to think Of the Force bill
at all.
FOuIthly, our people will be de-

wards each other, and our fair land
