dinner the Queen addresses every guest

A History of the National Pike.

n
Col. Thomas b. Searight, OF Union
town, Pa, has, after many years OF re-
search, prepared a history OF this re-
nowned old highway, which Is in press
and will be out in a few weeks. The
author is a prominent citizen Of his
State, has served in both branches OF
her Legislature, and Is said to hold the
pen OF ready writer. His subject is
certainly one OF very general interest,
and its history is much needed TO iii
gap in the realm OF letters. 1t is said
bv persons competent TO judge that
Colonel Searight's history fills this gap
with admirable cleveTness. All the old
folks of Baltimore know something
about the National road and feel az
interest in IL, and, we dOuh' not. would
Ike to read about it. Baltimore Is the
eastern terminus ~ the road. Here
stage coaches were loaded with passen-
gers, and big wagons with merchan-
disc, sixty years ago, and sent 70 all
points West over the road. The vol
ume under consideration gives first the
origin of the fund from which the ex-
Oense OF constructing the road was de-
rived, viz: certain provisions 10 the acts
Of Congress admitting Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri as States OF the
Union. The construction period OF the
road is then accurately traced TO its
conclusion, disclosing the salient points
of Congressional and State legislation,
speeches Of eminent old-time Congress-
men, at the head Of whom stood Mr..
Clay. messages OF President Jeffer-
son and Monroe, reports OF
commissioners who laid out the
road. showing heights Of mountains
and hills, topography, SC, the long and
| interesting correspondence Of authOri-
ties relating to the turning Of Willis
| Mountain, near Cum berland, and col
lislon with the managers OF the Chesa-
neake and Ohio Canal. After giving q
complete account Of the conception and
| building OF the road. the author de-
scribes life on aud along It's line. as
/ seen in the days Of its splendor, giving
| the names OF all old Tagoners, stage
drivers stage proprietors, stage agents,
com nissiopers, contractors and tavern
! keepers. with brief sketches Of the lives
OF the more prominent characters. the
whole illustrated by handsome pictures
OF old men Of the road, taverns, bridges,
etc. In the firsbchapter devoted to old
taverns an interesting description Is
given OF the Maypole, on Paca street.
Baltimore, which was Headquarters Tor
cid wagoners. After Describing the

HAD BERN DRINKING
The Young Man With Whom Madge
Pollard Went to Bed
EXPLAINS TIE WHOLE MATTER
It Was Merely a Joke and Amount
cd to Nothing-No Impropriety
Was Committed and No Harm
Was Intended-The Story Told
Under a New Light.

FRANKFORT, KY. February 20
Desha Breckinridge and Attorneys
Stoll and Shelby, representing Colonel
Breckinridge, and E. P. Farrell, for
Miss Pollard, to-day took dispositions
here for the defendant. VIM. Julian
testified that on Christmas day in 1889
he was at a mock marriage in which he
and Miss Madeline Pollard participated.
Owen Lonsley, son of the Squire at
whose house the Christmas festival oc-
Cured, oficiated as minister. Julian
was the groom. After the ceremony
which was witnessed by large crowd,
all withdrew from the parlor excepting
Miss Pollard, himself and the mock
preacher. He soon withdrew, remark
ing: "Alex, l leave her TO you, and L
know she will be taken care Of"
The witness here stated that Miss
Pollard was under the influence OF
LIQUOR, in fact drunk, and either he, or
she remarked that when people married
they usually retired together. 1t was
then agreed 10 retire, and they entered
room Immediately over the parlor,
aud together laid down on bed. Just
then some one called for them
down stairs and started to ascend,
whereupon Julian escaped by another
door and left the house. Witness stated
that Miss Pollard thought great deal
of him (Julan), that be was probably
is years old and that none in the house
knew at the time that they had retired
or laid on the bed together. The wit
ness also said the whole affair was a
piece Of nonsense, and no harm was in
tended or thought Of.
DR.. Owen Robinson testified he had
corresponded with Miss Pollard, and
knew nothing against her character.
Taylor Parent, who lives in Bridge
port, testified that Mrs. Pollard, mother
of Miss Msdeline, desired to move into
part OF the house he occupied, but that
be refused because the reputation of
Madeline was such that he did not care
