covered her face with her delicate hands
and burst into sobbing as abandoned aud
uncomfortable as that of a child.
Very tenderly, almost as if she had been
child, the rector tried to sooth her. He
took her into his arms, and pressed the fair
head down upon his bread breast, and let
her sob there until the overcharged heart
found relief and some measure of calmness
was restored.
And all the time he spoke to her words
which were as balm to the long-tried, SEN
stiYe soul.
eAnd now, dearest, it is your turn to
speak" he said at last. "Can l, dare /
hope that you will love me?'

voice, II think l must have loved you

The McClure's Life of Napoleon.

The publishers OF McClure's MGgd-
zine have secured the ose Of the Hon.
Gardiner G. Hubbard's great collec-
ton of Napoleon prints. This is one
of the most important collections OF
it's kind in the world and represents
the results Of many years OF collect
ing.
One hundred and fifty of these pic
lures have been selected and will be
published in six issues of McClure's
Magazine, beginning with November.
Most of the pictures will be full page,
md the series will constitute the most
important and most complete collec
tion OF Napoleon ever published.
There are about seventy.five por'
traits of Napoleon, comprising the
most important examples of the va
rious painters who made his portraits
md presenting him at every stage Of
lis career from the time OF his youth
10 the end OF his life, also his death
mask and a copy of lithograph show
ng the appearance Of his body twenty
4ars alter his death, on the occasion
{ the removal of his body to France.
No such series of portraits (consti-
uting a complete series OF Human
)ocuments') have ever been presented
,eiore. Most Of these portraits will be
,ew to the public, especially those
howing him as young man with his
ace thin and sorrowlul and eager.
Che portraits published in the Novem-
,er number will be extremely interest

There are also portraits OF his moth
n, father, brothers and sisters, and OF
Josephine and Marie Louise, and q
complete series of his son with poi
traits of his generals, marshals and
others who served him in field and
cabinet; also portraits of some OF bis
great opponents.
There are also reproductions oi
paintings OF battle scenes and oI
places connected with his career.
This remarkable collection will
make a pictorial history of Napoleon
Mr.. Hubbard furnishes interestir
notes, giving authentic information
as TO the painters and the history o
many Of the pictures.

Another Nuisance.

AhVthNA NuaNauOOe
Charity is a fine quality in the
makeup Of the human family, and
there is nothing more beautiful to be-
hold than an act of charity modesily
bestowed. where it finds an object
worthy of consideration. But man
and his charitable disposition are often
imposed upon. We have heard from
good authority that grown up women
in this town are in the habit of plac.
ing their arms in slings, and, feigning
sprains, breaks, or scalds, as the case
may be, 60 from place to place beg
ging. Whatever they get on these
begging expeditions is divided with a
lot Of overgrow4n, greasy loungers, who
have lately struck the town. Charity
is charity, but'when the tramp method
is resorted to to bring it into play, it
should be downed as nuisance.
The writer recollects being in Roa-
nOke about five ard a half or six years
ago, and while there witnessed a
money making piece OF torture by a
gang Of tramps. They had with them
young and tender looking lad who
could not have been more than twelve
years OF age, but he was very preco-
cious and Cup to snuff" and was a
willing victim to their torture in order
to practice their scheme OF money
getting.
This gang of tramps took the young
lad, rolled up his sleeve, and, after
saturating piece OF brown paper thor.
oughly vita coal oil, they placed il
around his arm from the elbow to the
wrist. They then struck match and
touched it to the saturated paper, and
in an instant that boys arm was 8
sight to look at. TWAS a sight which
nine times out Of ten, got money
throughout the town. When he haC
gotten enough for one day he--woulc
return, divide equally his spoils will
those whom he considered his hene
factors, and go out on the morrow
to ply his vocation in a new part O
the town. We repeat,such schemes q
these are nuisances and ought to /
remedied.

THE DAM BUILDERS IN COURT.
Case Carried Before Recorder Mathes
and Dismissed.

About eighteen months ago the dam
running across Brush Greek imme.
diately at the railroad bridge near the
old calaboose was ordered by the city
authorities to be torn out, by way OF
allowing the filth and impure matter
which had accumulated there from
time to time to run off, which, if per
mitted to remain, would, in the minds
of the board, breed sickness. Accord
ing to this order, the dam was torn
out Last Friday, the 9th, agl eeable
to contract made with Mr.. Abe Hoss,
Mesas. Duke and Chaffin proceeded
% build another dam there, but Mayor
Hart, on the part of the city, had the
p .rties arrested, and the work was
stopped for awhile, but they were bent
on building the dam, and recon.
menced work on it. They were again
stopped by the same authorities.
Thus the matter went on throughout
Friday.
Messrs. Hoss, Duke and Chafiin cal-
ried the case before the recorder to
see why they should be restrained and
prevented from carrying out the con-
tract made between themselves to
make the dam.
The ordinance touching the subject
which was taken under consideration
by the board Of mayer and aldermen
four years ago having passed only it,
first reading, failed to become law
and on this ground the recorder dis
missed the case.
The property upon which the dan
was proposed to be replaced belongs
to W. w. Faw and the Southern Rail
way Co., and they bitterly oppose tn
scheme of building the dam, and il
furlherance of their objection say the!
will fight it to the bitter end.
Thus the matter stands The cas-,
il liable to become entangled in litiga
ton and cause considerable troubl
and not a little expenditure Of tim
and money to the side which find
itself at the bottom in this struggle
1t is very pretty fight as it stands
md both sides have entered into j
with sleeves rolled up.

Pair Of New Ones.

We wear pair OF new pants now,
and it makes us feel quite awkward.
The weather is changing, and the
change brings on cooler days and
nights as time fugits on; hence We
had TO dof our summer pants. We
hated like thunder to do this, but they
were aSout TO go back on US at the
other end and got too summery for
even summer; therefore. they have
been slowed away and will always and
forever be a good, cool reminder OF
the cold and chilly days when we
shook in them, ,wishiully gazing at the
comfortably clad limbs of those who
passed us by; but we have survived
the frigid blasts Of last winter, and
we candidly say that no friend ever
served US more faithfully than did this
same pair Of pants in this cold and
trying ordeal. We bought them from
Will kirkpatrick, paid him a dollar
for them, and they have accompanied
us down the stream OF time for nigh
on to two years, through sunshine
and rain, spring and summer, autumn
and winter. OF course they we're not
faultiess; they sometimes ripped and
tore in their career and perforce flag.
ged little, but the fault was more
ours than theirs. The strain upon
them was too great in fact, they were
hard pressed, and at last, as we have
before said, they succumbed and
yielded themselves up victim to
time and two hundred pounds, avoir.
dupois. Yes, we have folded and laid
away with loving hands and regretful
heart our memorable summer pants,
which will never more do us service,
and we now breathe in new pair.
They are purple and have tendency
to match the violet in color. We
paid the round sum of seventy-five
cents for them at the Racket Store,
and you can get yourself a pair there
at the same price. Long may they
wear.
II this eulogy has been extended
beyond the desire Of our readers, we
trust they will pardon us, ss it's sub.
ject was worthy, and we looked at il
as a dereliction of duty not to have
paid some kind OF tribute thereto.

JOHNSON CITY STAVE FACTORY
Thlrty.SeVen Hen and Boys Employed,
and They as Busy as Bees.

A visit to this factory on Tuesday
afternoon, last, opened our eyes to the
magnitude of the business being car
ried on there by the proprietors,
Boring & Wilson.
The factory is situated almost, If
not directly, at the junction Of the
Three C's and narrow gauge railroads.
and the factory proper, steam watts,
stave and jointing sheds, yards used
for stave drying purposes wood yards,
Office of company, &c, cover an area
OF several acres. The engine which
runs the machinery is 40-horse
power engine, and the boiler just
double that power.
The writer was courteously shown
through the whole establishment and
had its different modes OF operation
explained in.detail to us by Mr.. Wilson.
The stave machine itself is a sub.
stantial and perfect piece o. machinery,
and is operated by two men, one in
front to feed it and one behind to re-
move out Of the way the stayes as fast
as 1t cuts them, which it does very
rapidly, its capacity being $4,000
stayes and upwards per day. The lac
tory uses rick Of wood 143 feet long
and four feet high daily, which is
first placed in the steam watts, OF which
there are ten, and . number Of hands
are kept constantly at work attending
to these vats. and transferring the
wood therefrom to the machine, while
other hands are busy wheeling the
newly made staves out into the yard
where they are allowed to remain and
| dry. On their return trips the whee!
men each take in load to the jointers,
Of whom there are four, and from the
IJointers they go into the hands of men
who bundle and prepare them fol-
shipment. BY this means the yards
are gone over once in about every
ninety days, the fresh slaves contin
ually taking the place Of the dry ones
| The lower yard contains at presen
about 100000 slaves, and the uppel
yard 10000. The wood or materia
out OF which these slaves are mad'
comes in constantly, and we are in
formed that the hauler gets his mone,
sherefor at any time he wants it.
This last matter is a good thing Il
reflect over. Pay day comes 10 tn
hands, thirty.seven Of them, on tn
: 10th OF every month, when they ar
promptly handed whatever amour
they have earned during the month
That's the way to keep business o.
its feet and keep the hands in a satil
factory and cheerful state Of mind.
I johnson City can rell feel proud c
this enterprise, for, despite the strin
gency Of the times, it has held its hea
above water and successfully buffete
: the waves oil adYersity and nov stand
: upon the banks along which flows th
0 stream OF prosperity; and we are gla
r that such is fact.

HART and SMITH.
A Sunday Evening Race.

Last Sunday evening awhile before
dusk Chief Remine, accompanied by
a citizen, went in search oil 3 couple
of suspects who they had reason to
suppose were concealed somewhere in
the neighborhood of what is known
commonly as the "Lewis House," but
which now belongs to Messrs Taylor
and Martin, When the officer and
citizen arrived at that place, an old
offender, who had been Scouting" for
some time, sot glimpse of them and
Immediately concluded that he had
business elsewhere. He acted upon
this impulse by shooting away from
the place at break neck speed, the cit
znn close in his wake. They ran fu-
r:ously across the commons back OF
the Miller foundry but the "scouter"
meant business, and left the citizen
far in the rear. They ran in the di.
rection of Roam Hill, and the man in
the lead kept widening the distance
between himself and the pursuer until
at last he reached the woods, when,
dark coming on, he successfully hid
himself and made his escape. The
two men wanted by the officer were
not captured at all, as the commOtion
caused by the race gave them the op.
portunity to make their escape if, per-
chance, they were in the neighborhood
of the scene.
The old Lewis House has a very
unenviable reputation. 1t is known
far and near, and Notwithstanding the
efforts of Messrs. Taylor and Martin
to keep out Objectionable people, this
class often make it their rendezvous
