Strange Coincidence.

The conversation had dwelt for some
time on the subject of thought transfer
ence. Several persons had come under
their notice, and then Gaswell said:
"Let mo tell you something which
happened to me the other day. don't
know whether you will class it as an
examplc Of thought transference OF
simply as a singular coincidence. There
was Fred Grimsey. Fred and were
close friends five or six years ago, and
then he went south, and l lost sight OF
him entirely. Not even letter passed
between US. The other day, all Of sud-
den, as 1 was walking along. the street,

Of him for months, possibly not for a
year, but he popped into my mind on
this occasion. AS nearly as l could re-
call, there was nothing which would
naturally be expected to bring him into
my memory at that time. He came
spontaneously, as you might say. Just
then I turned the corner Of street, and

When I was o little boy my play

meeting an old acquaintance In far

long years afterward, I read the passage
In Evelyn's DIARY" for the year 1862,
in which he speaks Of having seen the
strange and wonderful dexterity OF the

park, perform'd before their majestic:

Bill slowly drained each glass. Wher
the last was down, he placed IL on th'

turned to the cowboy.

why Alsace-LOrraine Remains French

In 1871 France left Alsace pretty much
as she found 1t when 1t was seized BY

as little as possible was changed IN
laws, customs, manners or observAnces.
In consequence Alsace remained Ger

MIR. ROSE IMPROVING.
An Allegheny Man Asks Him Not to
Give the Lynchers Away.
March 2nd,1

March 2nd.1
Mr.. Alexander Rose, member of
the crowd that went to the Allegheny
Jail to lynch Slaughter, and who was
SHOT by Jailer McCraw, is now i'm
proving. His physician, DR.. Dalton,
is now of the opinion that he will get
well Several shot in his hand and
stomach have been successfully re-
moved
Mr. Roses appetite is good and he
is quite lively. Solicitor Barber is
sued orders to the sheriff this morning
not to allow anybody in the jail to
see the wounded man. unless they
would promise, upon their word and
HONOR not to converse with him on
any subject relating to the lYnching.
A citizen Of Allegheny, the name of
whom was not learned, called at the
jail this morning TO see Rose but was
refused admittance, on the ground
that he wanted to talk about the
lyncLin.S However, he stood on the
outside and hOllered to the wounded
man, advising him not to give the
names OF the lynching party away to
anybody. 1t is believed the man is
a friend Of the men who took part in
the unlawful trouble, and was sent
here to learn whether or not Mr.. Rose
had diyulged the names Of the men
who took the life Of Slaughter.
Mr.. Doughton, a brother of the
Lieutenant-GOvcrnor, of Allegheny,
remarked in THE SENTINEL office
this morning that he thought there
would be no further trouble over the
lynching. He thinks there was no
| necessity for bringing Rose here. 1t
would have been better to have taken
Slaughter out of the county as soon as
| he WAS caught.

More Carving in Wilkes.

Bud Queen went to the home of his

"cussed out" his (Queen's) brother who
with Mayberry. He threw several
rocks at Mayberry, so the report
states, and Mayberry made for him
with his knife and carved him very
seriously, and the probability is he
will not recover. The Chronicle adds
that mean corn liquor, knives and
