One mode of transportation among the
poor whites of southern West Virginia is
known as "riding and hitching." 1t is
restored to when two travellers find them
selves with only one horse and they are
going too far to ride "double," In "rid-
ing and hitching' one traveller takes his
horse and goes a mile or more, while the
other foots it behind. The equestrian
So, after he has ridden his share, he dis
mounts and bitches his steed to tree by
the road, and goes on afoot. In time the
other walker comes to the hitched animal,
mounts him, and rides on until he has
overtaken the first rider and got some
distance in front, when the operation is
repeated. Thus each rides alternately,
and the horse gets breathing spell.

What some folks call Providence and
others fate, says the New York Sun, is
illustrated by the fact that there now lives
in Brooklyn, grown to mans estate and
safe in his own family circle, the lad whom
the kidnappers of Charley Ross probably
intended to steal. The families of the
child that was taken and the child that
was left were neighbors in Germantown,
Pa, and the BroOklynites believe from sew

The DemOcats Vote TO Repeal the EIcc-
tIons Laws.

The Tucker bill, to repeal the laws to
preserve the purity and integrity of nation
al elections, was brought to a vote in the
House of Representatives, according to
the Democratic program, Tuesday, and the
repeal was carried by strict party vote of
200 to 101. The Populists voted solidly
with the Democrats for repeal. The Tuck
er bill not only repeals the provisions for
the supervision of national elections by
United States supervisors and marshals,
but it sweeps away the safeguards against
fraudulent registration by voters, false
presentations of voters, bribery, intimda-
tion, etc.
