Mad Stona.

Not long since, Mir. I. W. Allen, resid-
ing near Mt. Jackson, Va, showed us a
genuine maidstone. 1t belonged to
Messers. Rhesa Allen and Benz. Hawkins,
and has been IN the possession of the
Allen family for tbree-quarters OF a
century. 1t was found 10 deeT's stomach,
which they had killed formed in layers,
on account of the laurel eaten by the
deer, it is said. The stone was in deer
skin shot pouch for many years, and was
accidentally discovered by Mr. T. w.
Allen. Being OF a peculiar formation,
(oval in shape, blush grey in color, formed
in bony, shelly layers. weighing ounces)
he showed it to the late DR.. W. B. Sey-
mour, who at once pronounced it mad
stone. Applied to a snake bite on a
horses nose. the stone bee anne saturated
with a greenish poison, and fell off.
Being soaked and cleaned in milk, 1t was
applied again with similar result, and
so on until 1t ceased to absorb any poison.
Mad-stones are very rare, and the first
we're brought to Virginia about 1901, by
a near relative of the famous Capt. John
Smith, who obtained them in one of the
East India Islands. There is one in
Richmond. one in Washington, one in
Loudoun and one 10 Essex counties. this
State; one in Arkansas, owned by til q
Armstead family. formerly Of Virginia.
Mr.. Allen, also, has German mad
stone, which he bought at the late Dr..
Seymour's sale. 1t weighed two ounces,
shaped as though it were an egg fatten-
ed on the side, and has a greenlsh-black
metallic appearance.
Wonderful cures, 1t IS said, have been
effected by mad-stones; but not being up
on maidstone ology," we leave the mat
ter to a discriminating public .-Ne'

A Word to the Old Confederates Of
the County.

ZIG OO0aeJ'
The Shenandoah Camp, Confederate
Veterans, Woodstock, Va, at their last
meeting, elected me to be their Com
mander.
l look upon it as an honor, and a
marked compliment.
But feel unfit for the position and
unworthy of it. believe that can be
of more service to the Camp, in any other
position. The only qualification l am
conscious of having, is, that l love every
old Confederate and earnestly desire his
last days to be his best days.
With sincere doubt as TO the wisdom
of the choice made by the Camp, my only
consolation il In throwing myself on the
good nstured charity and patience. the
counsel and cooperation of my comrades.
The next meeting of the Camp, IS ap-
pointed for Saturday, July 9th, 1895, al
2p. IN. sharp, in the "Armory" (the 2nd
story of the Court HOuse)-The Camp
numbsrs thirty-eight upon its rolls. VIII
not every member make it point to b.
present.
Remember the date, Saturday. july
Gth, p. IN. We would like especially t.
see the members from the country.
To the other old Confederates, not ye
mem bers, We would say, come and joir
us. The objects are practical and good
and uDobjectio1able. Como to the meet
iuV, on Saturday. July 9th, aud see TO
yourselves. Let every member, bring a
recruit TO that meeting. We want tn
roll to reach Que hundred.

was taken before Justice Talbot to an :
swer a charge Of assaulting and attempt
ing to kill Mrs. Jesse Payton. The as
sault was made upon Mrs Payton and
Leonard Colnan. at the home OF the
former, northeast of Muscotah, February
q Colnan filed a similar complaint
against Mutt the day following the as
sault, and at an examination before
Justice SpangIer at Muscotah, Mutt was
bound over to the district court for trial
and his bond placed at $4,000, in default
of which Mutt has since been in jail
Mrs Payton, after lowering between
life and death for several weeks, finally
recovered sufficiently, and swore to the
complaint upon which Nutt's present
hearing is based Mrs. Payton is not
present, but her story is told by an aft
davit secured by the county attorney,
and upon which the complaint is based.
Colnan, the farm hand, to whose inter
ference Mrs. Paytoa undoubtedly owes
her life, is present, and is the object OF
much curiosity.
Mrs. Payton's statement shows that
Mutt, after emptying his revolver, threw
a chair, which struck her a glancing
blow upon the head, and that when she
appeared in the room with the ak, she
found Mutt and Colnan struggling; that
she herself struck Mutt twice with the
ak, but without much force. After Col
nan got the ak and laid Mutt out he
said to Mrs. Payton, will 1 XIII him?''
Her reply was No" and his life was

TRUE ROMANlES.
This Strange Race That Opposes the Refine
ments of Civilization.

Especial Correspondence.
BOSTON, March 18.-There has al
ways been somewhat of a question as to
whether the so called gypsies of Amer
lea are true Romantics or not, and the
recent death at Providence of prince
Williams will no doubt start the dis
cussion afresh, for it is averred on very
good authority that he was just plain
Englishman and no Romany at all.
1t was in the times of the Tudors that
the gypsies lis the word a corruption of
EgypUians?) crossed over from the conti
nent to the British isles, because of rig
id DEGREES of expulsion promulgated in
Spain, Germany and France. They met
a rather cold welcome, but were never
theless allowed to stay on the earth and
practice their peculiar methods of win
ming livelihood, to the great disgust
of the English people, as is clearly
shown from the epithets applied to the
nomads by the writers of those early
days.
One old record says of them that they
wandered uppe and downe and met
once year at a place appointed, some
times at the Peaks hole, at Derbyshire,
anu db OIu6E WHI16S ny hGtDIOOA, az
Blackheath. - Another English writer
spoke of them as ''vagabonds, masterless
men, ydle, vagraunte, lOiterynge, vi
disposed persons, going aboute, usynge
subtitle and unlawful games or plale, "
but in Scotland they were after time
received as decent and law abiding col
onists and for awhile were treated with
consideration. In few years, however,
when their true character became
known, an act was passed for the sup
preston of Egyptians, bards, minstrels
and vagabond scholars. "
Finally Johnnie Faw, the earl of
Little Egypt, ran away with the daugh
ter of a countess, and hundreds of gyp-
sizes were wiped out in the fight that
followed, and the woman was imprison
ed for life at Maybole, Ayrshire, in
tower built for that purpose. Yet not
withstanding this and other slaughters
of gypsles there are plenty of them IN
the United Kingdom yet
Instances of the kidnapping o. women
by gypsies i'll America are not wanting,
and one such was reported in Missouri
last year. Early in the eighties, when
the drama of 1.-The Romany Rye" was
having its successful run in New York,
a special attraction lay in the fact that
the part of the gypsy princess was play
ed by Marie Lowell, the daughter of the
chief of band that used to rove over
New Jersey. Two years ago, when this
girl, who was really quite pretty, was
we'll grown, she eloped or was abducted
from the gypsy's camp. and Chief Lowell
raised great to do about it. Whether
she was ever found by the sorrowing
Romantics that made up the camp
never heard, but for months after her
disappearance old man Lowell prowled
about the country with a gun looking
for her and the man she went away
with. J. B. PARKE

The instinct of self-preservation is
strong and automatic. 1t works indie
pendently of reason and knowledge,
but even against their teachings. The
Cincinnati Enquirer tells a story which
illustrates these assertions: A man on a
Lake Huron steamer had the only spec
linen of black rattlesnake I had ever
met with. It was about the size of an
ordinary gartersnake and very vicious.
It was confined in strong box covered
with thick plate glass. When anyone
would touch the glass with his finger
the snake would strike the under side
opposite the finger as quickly as a
stroke of lightning. The experimental
would always jerk away as suddenly.
There was not a man on board, how
ever muscular and free from nervous
ness, who could keep his finger to the
glass when the snake would strike, al
though knowing that it could not pos
sibly touch him. Strong men would
try it again and again, certain of their
ability to endure the test, but with the
same result.

SHOWS CASE DECIDED.
A Receiver is Granted But the Injunc tiOI
is Denied.

Judge Hazen in the district court this
forenoon decided the somewhat famous
case of State Printer E. II. Snow against
his partner in the state printing firm, c.
B. Hamilton.
The decision is not a complete victory
for either side. Mr.. Shows application
for an injunction to prevent Hamilton
from disposing of the plant. was denied
The application for receiver however,
which was asked for by both Snow and
one of the stockholders in the company,
was granted, and the receiver will pro-
baby BIZ named tomorrow.
In his decision Judge Hazen was brief
and spoke without consulting his notes.
He denied the injunction because the
evidence had failed to show any fraud,
or how Hamilton's disposal of his own
plant would infringe on the rights of
Mr. Snow.
The proposition of Hamilton to sell
out was made to Major j. K Hudson,
the state printer-elect, and the price sug
gested was 20 per cent less than the last
purchase price of the plant Judge Hazen
held that this was fair business PROPOSE
ton and expressed great confidence in
Major Hudson's disinterested testimony
The application for a receiver was
granted because the relations between
Hamilton aud Snow are so strained that
it would be difficult to manage the affairs
of the firm without one. Judge Hazen
said he would not allow the receiver on
the request of Snow alone, but since
Stakeholder Sears had joined in the ask
ing, it could not well be denied. Judge
Hazen told the lawyers in the case,
Gleed, Ware & Gleed, J. D. Mcfarland
and David Overmyer, to get together
and decide upon their own receiver. In
case they are unable to agree upon any
person Judge Hazen will name one.
