to Paris.
In the preceding autumn famine was
actually stalking abroad. In Paris
the populaee grew gaunt and dismal,
but at Versailles there was food in
plenty. and the contrast was height
ened by a lavish display. The royal
family was betrayed by one of its own
house, the despicable Philip "Egalite, "
who sought to stir up the basest dregs
of society, that in the ferment he
might rise to the top; hungry Paris,
stung to action by rumors which be
spread and by bribes he lavished, put
Lafayette at its head, and on October
marched out TO the gates of the royal
residence in order to make coBspicn-

who knows, now that the fairy stone
has found such favor in the world of
fashion. what possibilities she may de-
velop in this direction? These queer
bits of petrified earth are indigenous
to Patrick, southern border county
OF Virginia, cut off from Henry, and
called. like the latter. in honor OF the
statesman and orator, Patrick Henry.
They are not excavated for, but lie
loose upon the surface of the soil. and,
though restricted to two or three parts
of the county, exist in great numbers
and various sizes.

by it that they fed to this remote re-
gion and transformed themselves into
these petrified emblems- This legend
has given rise to innumerable super
stitious. and from time immemorial the
stones have been worn as amulets by
those living in the vicinity in which
they are found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginis's history
known as 1.-The boom" Then her SUI
perstitions and sacred traditions, along
with her other comodities. became OBJ
jects of barter. Speculation fixed its
calculating eye upon tie fairy stone.
and it was taken from its native bed
and experimental with an order
that it might be rendered mar
ketable. 1t was soon discovered
that no tedious process was
necessary for its development A large
instrument passed along the outline
stamped upon its surface converted
the jagged stone into q symmetrical
cross, a little polishing and plunge
into bath of boiling oil gave the re-
quired smOothness and the rich ma
hogany color one sees in the stone Of
commerce. A tip Of gold at the four
extremities and ring to which a chain
might be attached gave the finishing
touch to it, and when thus simply
mounted fairy stones sold for one dol
lar apiece.
The traditions concerning their won
der-working power are as inexhausti-
BILE as the beds from which they are
taken, and would furnish endless
themes TO writer's of fairy tales and
folklore stories. They are supposed
to ward off evil and bring good luck
to their possessors, but in order to do
this must be worn around the neck

to Serve on the Police Commission.
Policeman Lee Cone insists that
Mr.. HuSsey is not fit to be member
of the board of police commissioners
and he gives his reasons for thinking
SO.
He says that Husey and Lee Taylor
and himself went over on the Walnut
river last Summer to fish. Lee says
Hussey got full of chiggers and in the
morning when he awoke Husey was up
and had a.big slice of fat pork greaS-
ing himself all over to kill the chiggers.
Lee says that Husey did the cooking
and he washed the dishes. They had
bacon for breakfast that morning and
when Lee was washing UP the break
fast dishes HuSey came around and
with regret pictured in his face inform
ed Lee that he had made a great mis-
take and cooked that piece of chigger
bacon and that he Gone had eaten
it.
Lee says in about half an hour he
was in bed sick with wet towel tied
around his head. Then Husey came
around and told him that he found the
chigger bacon out on the chair by the
fire and that it had not been cooked at
all.
Now what do you think Of Governor
Morrill, for appointing man like Husey

Attendance Increasing in Numbers and In
terest Growing.
The meeting last night in the Y. NJ. G.
A. building was the largest in point of
attendance and decidedly the most in
teresting of the series, SO far. y spirit
of deep devotion pervaded the great
audience from the opening to the close
of the services. The discourse upon the
theme 1.-The Hypnotic Power of Satan
while not long was most eloquent and
impressive. The speaker, Mss Hill, drew
a very vivid parallel between the pow
er of the hypnotist to control the minds
and actions of those who place them
selves under his influence, and the pow
err of Satan to cause men and women to
commit sin, even in opposition to their
better natures and against their JudS-
ment.
The methods Of the evangelist in con-
Quoting the meetings are very simple
though original and impressive. The
earnestneSs and pathoS with which she
engages in the work carry with her
every word and act of conviction of alb
solute conservation which makes most
profound impression upon all who at
tend the meetings.
Two persons made public confessions
at last nights meeting, and two others
were elected to receive the ordinance OF
baptism.
