A NOrtherner who was on the train re.
Gently robbed over in Eastern Virginia, in
giving an account of the robbery, among
other things says: Another thing struck
me forcibly. The Southern people are not
such a gun carrying crowd as so many peo-
pie imagine / was astonished last night
when among all those passengers only one
had pistol, and that was little bit Of
thing, which young man handed to the
conductor" 1t takes long time to disa-
buse people Of their prejudices. In fact, il
can't be done at all. They just have TO grow
out Of them, one at time, and the process
is very slow one. Except in few out-of-
the-way corners Of theSouth it is regarded as
in bad form to carry deadly weapons, as in
sections Of the north, east or west and yet If
you say this to the average Northerner, his
only reply is an incredulous smile. A few
of them have the fact hammered into them
Just as this traveller did, but the great ma
iority live out their lives in the belief that
every Southerner is walking arsenal. II
is matter Of regret that our Northern
brother looks on US so, but be does all the
same.-Sauton Nc,rs.

 MAN IN THE MOON.
One of the Most Popular and Perhaps

 One of the Most Popular and Perhaps
 Most Ancient of Superstitions.
 Man in tho moon is the name popularly given to the dark lines and spots upon tho surface of tho moon which are visible to tho naked eye, and which, when examined with telescope, are discovered to be due to depressions aud mountains on the sur face. It is one of the popular and perhaps one of tho most ancient superstitions in the world that these lines and spots are the figure of a man leaning on fork on which he carries bundle of thorns or brushwood for stealing which on Sun. day he was confined in tho moon.
 Some of those vcrseG in such lore ex- plain that this story undoubtedly had Its origin in the account given in the fifteenth chapter of the book of Numbers, thirty second verse, of man stoned to death for gathering sticks upon tho Sabbath day. With tho Italians Cain appears to have been tho offender.
 Tho Jews have some Talmudical story that Jacob Is in the moon, and they believe his face is visible. Bishop Wilkins writes that, ''as for the forme of these spots some of the vulgar thinke they represents man, and poets guess tis tho boy Endymion, whose company she loves so well that she carries him with her"

A Story That Is Told.

One of the first military incidents con nected with the American flag occurred on Aug. 2, TIT, when Lieutenant Bird and Lieutenant Brant invested Fort Stanwix of Schuyler, commanded by Colonel Peter Ganscvoort. There was no flag in tho garrison when the enemy appeared, but pride, patriotism and Ingenuity soon overcame the matter. The design for tho flag just adopted by congress was known, and a flag was quickly made. Sheets were cut up for the stars and the white stripes, the red was supplied from bits of scarlet cloth collected from the soldiers, while the blue was obtained from Dutch cloak be- longing to Colonel Abraham Swartout of Dutchess county. The siege was raised Aug %, but what became of tho impro- vised flag is not known.
