Sweet Oil For Patent Leathers.

Sweet oil is the best for patent
leather, and it should be applied
sparingly. All of the surplus should
be carefully and thoroughly wiped
off, and the shoe is then to be polish
ed with a piece of chamois. After
the glaze of patent leather begins to
crack and will no longer take the
tine polish without which patent
leather is burden to the eye, there
is no resource SO effectual as varnish,
but when once the application of
varnish has begun it must be con-
tinued to the end. Varnish must
be applied to patent leather with the
tips of the fingers-nothing else will
answer so we'll. Be sure that the
shoe is perfectly free from dust or
dirt of any kind. Exchange.

Height of Virginia Mountains.

The height of the peaks of Otter,
as determined by Professor Guyot by
careful barometric measurements
some years ago, is 1888 feet for the
southwest or the northeast, or Flat

the Balsam mountain, in the Blue
Ridge in Grayson county, 500 feet
high, and White Top mountain, in the
Grayson-W Washington line, 5, 500 feet
high. The 1891 Typographical maps
of the United States geographical
survey make White Top 5,678 feet
high, and point in the Grayson.

lincoln and the Bull.

Crossing field one day, President
Lincoln, it is said, was pursued by
an angry bull. He made for the
fence, but soon discovered that the
bull was overtaking him. He then
began to run around a haystack in
the field, and the bull pursued him,
bGtin making the short circles around
the stack Lincoln was the faster, and
instead of the bull catching him he
caught the bull and grabbed him by
the tail 1t was a firm grip and a
controlling one. He began to kick
the bull, and the bull beloved with
agony and dashed across the field,
Lincoln hanging to his tail and kick

flew along Lincoln yelled at the bull,

Clergy and Congregation.

: One thing I have against the
clergy, both of the country and in
the town. think they are not Sc
we're enough on their congregations.
They do not sufficiently lay upon the
souls and consciences of their hearers
their moral obligations and probe
their hearts and bring up their whole
lives and action to the bar of con-
science. The class of sermons which
l think are most needed are of the
class which offended Lord Melbourne
long ago. Lord Melbourne was seen
one day coming home from church
IN the country in a mighty fume.
Finding friend, he exclaimed: 1T
is too bad! l have always been a
supporter of the church, and have
always upheld the clergy. But it is
really too bad to have to listen to q
sermon like that we have had this
morning. Why, the preacher ac-
tually insisted upon applying reli-
gion to a mans private life" But
that is the kind of preaching l like
best; the kind of preaching which
men need most. But it is also the
kind of which they get the least

A Miners Scheme.

An Australian mining journal is re-
sponsible for the following story: A
miner in that country, who was OBJ
tanning fine gold by sluicing, was
asked how he saved it. He replied
that he employed the common ANAL
gamation process, but used novel
and ingenious retort for the purpose.
After amalgamating with quicksil-
yer, Il get potato, said the miner,
"cut off one end and scoop out a cav
ity in it large enough to take my ball
of amalgam. l next take a spade or
piece of fiat iron and place that over
the fire, and then upon that l pla ,e
the potato with the cut side down.
AS the amalgam gets hot the silver
evaporates and goes all through the
potato, but it can't through the skin.
When it is cool have my gold but
ton on the spade and my silver all
IN fine globules in the potato. I
break that potato up under water,
and l have all my silver"

The Art of Conversation.

The art of conversation, says a
distinguished writer, consists in the
exercise of two fine qualities-you
must originate and you must sympa-
thize. You must possess at the same
time the habit of communicating and
the habit of listening. The union is
rather rare, but it is irresistible"
To listen sympathetically and to
talk amusingly are generally suppos
ed to be two distinct qualifications,
seldom if ever united in the same in
dividual, and it would be well for
those who desire to shine as takers
to study the golden mean and judi
ciously combine both accomplish
ments.-New York Tribune.

GOGOL,S PLAY.
Satire That Failed to Make an impress
sion on Gar Nicholas

sion on Car Nicholas.
GoSols well known play, The In
spector, he completed and produced
on the stage III the same year 1886.
1t Is one OF his writings which is best
known in this country, for it has
been translated into French by Pros
per Merimee and twice quite recent
ly into English. The plot is ex-
tremely simple. A provincial town,
IN which the officials are stepped in
corruption, is thrown into conster-
nation by a report that an inspector
(revizor) is on his way from st. Pc
tersburg to make searching investi
cation into their conduct. Then it is
rumored that he is actually come
and is stopping at the hotel At
once the mayor hurries off to pay
court to him.
The supposed inspector, however,
is a young government clerk, who is
travelling in the province, and, hay
ing lost all his money at cards, is
waiting for fresh supplies from his
father, and meanwhile being unable
to pay his hotel bill is treated by the
landlord with contumely. Under
these circumstances the mayors visit
alarms him considerably, but when
he finds that his explanations are
misunderstood and that even his
frank avowal that he has not sou
only produces the offer of a loan, he
accepts the situation and plays the
part OF inspector malgre lui with III
mite Zest. He bOrrows money from
everybody, fiirts with the mayors
wife and proposes for the hand of
his daughter, while he exhibits as
tonlshlng feats in that art of gratu-
itous lying in which Russians are
such adopts. The play ends with his
hurried departure and the arrival of
> the real revizor.
The simplicity of the plot has pro-
voked a smile from more than one
countryman of Scribe and Sardou,
but the plot is mere peg on which
to hang a scathing satire on the cor
ruption of Russian official life. A
rollicking farce on the surface, at
the bottom it is bitter, serious truth.
The Car Nicholas is said to have
sent for the author after the first
performance to the royal box. II

have done this evening"" said the

view" The play is still often given
on the Russian stage, and the public
still laughs, and the Augean stables
OF Russian official life remain I'M

About two weeks before his death Mr..
St. Clair went into the pantry in the dark,
and dipped what he supposed drink Of
water from a pail, as be had sent the
children to the spring during the evening,
but somebody had dissolved some potash
in pail of water that evening, and left it
standing in the pantry, and Mr.. St. Clair
took mouthfull Of the mixture. He did
not swallow any of it, but some of it enter
ed his wind-pipe and caused an infsms-
ton and swelling that gradually sufocated
him. His wife died several years ago, and
all his children are of age.

The Barnhart Affair.

Last week we noted the cutting affrayesst
of Chicora in which Del Barnhart was seri-
ously stabbed by his two brothers. The de-
tails of the affair are as follows:
Webster and William Barnhart were at
Kittanning on Tuesday and were drinking.
They quarreled and William gave Web a
severe beating, after which he left him and
went to Del Barnhart's home, near Ratti-
gan postoffice, there he told Del that Web.
had been run over by wagon and asked
him to go for him. Arriving at Webs
home, Del went in first to see him, when
Web made for him with an ak. Del. is a
one armed man, and on Williams coming
at him with pocket knife, additionally
soon was at the mercy of his two brothers.
He was stabbed through the lungs and was
not expected to live, but is mending
somewhat at present writing.
No arrests have been made as yet.
