ted "Uncie Alex" the leader
OF the colored people of the
town.

Mr.. EditOr:-Who in this region
has not heard of the town in which
every lot in it was doomed as a
"corner lot?' Such was the report
of the said town, as / was on my
way to it Jan 4th, l asked another
who had been there, "How much of
town is it?" He replied, "about
half a dozen houses" Was it not

stone walk along its extended sides

the conveyance WIS not an or
rickety Virginia vehicle, but nice
car drawn by "a Dummy Engine.
Such is the style of the carriage
that conveys all visitors to Big
Stone Gap, to and from the cars.
Upon entering my room, i looked
out to see the six houses composing
the far-famed city, and to my sur
prise | saw streets here and there
regularly laid out with good walks,
and large brick buildings,' which
soon proved this town was not on
paper but upon solid ground. Here
was town of 800 voters and 2000 in
habitantS. Only few minutes
walk from the Hotel is residence
costing 100000. Other nice homes
are there. A little above the city
is twin furnace with capacity of
of 100 tons of iron Il day. On the
ono side, packed with iron ore is the
Waldron Ridge, which begins at
the town and extends to Chatham
nO0ga. A mile across the plain
upon which the city is built is the
the Stone Mountain, having in it
Dal which centuries will not ex-
haust. All about lies lime stone in
immense quantities. so that it
would seem in due time, the N. &
l.. and G. A. & o. r. Rs, will have
long trains of coal aud iron going
dailyto distant markets.

of free stone water, with a supply
for 5000 inhabitants, is pouring its
delicious beverage into the homes
of the little city, constantly ready to
extinguish the devouring flames in
any dwelling without the aid of fire
engines. The water is of the puresi
quality and so cool in Summer that
no ice in it is needed. A stream oil
that water the size of a common
pencil falls with such force upon a
small turbine wheel as to furnish
power to run printing press. An
almest indefinate number of small
industries requiring five or six
horse power, can be supplied from

only few dollars a year. Two
streams of water, forming the Pow.

town furnishing perfect drainage
from the streets, with abundant
water for manufacturing purposes

Tho willing Blacksnake.

A Barberton man, who goes to church
regularly, was one day walking along
the banks of Concession creek, in Bech-
uanaland. eating sandwich, and on
account of the usual disparity between
meat and bread he threw the redundant
piece into the water Immediately a
swarm of yellow fish bubbed around it,
fighting for the mouthful. The man
searched his pockets for fishing tackle
but all in vain, and he was just begin
ming TO die of despair. when his eve
lighted on a backsnake. AT that mo-
ment he remembered how his father
used to tell him that blacksnakes We're
very expert in catching fish. He there
fore grabbed the reptile by the tail,
carried ii TO the river and held it over
the struggling fish. The snake proved
itself a born angler, and in the course
of an hour the man had captured forty
fish. a few days later, as he was walk
ing in the same place. he felt some
thing rub against his leg, and, looking
down, he saw his friend the blacksnake,
eager for more sport.--Rangoon Dur

tempts by Americans TO get married
abroad are illustrated by case of re-
cent occurrence. A young lady residing
temporarily in Paris with her aunt was
engaged to young man living in Ohio.
She was to come home at the end of a
twelvemonth and marry him; but when
the time arrived the aunt decided that
she wanted to stay abroad two years
longer. Obviously, it was not practi-
cable for the girl to cross the ocean
alone. SO her fiance determined to go
over and marry her in Paris. He dis
covered presently, however, that he
could not marry her under the French
law without a years previous residence
in France. This was too long a post
ponement for an ardent lover. so he
hired clever young Washington law
yer to find some way out of the diff
Guilty.
The first idea that suggested itself
was to secure credentials of residence
in Ohio for both parties and have them
forwarded through the department of
state al Washington to our legation in
Paris, where the ceremony could be per-
formed. But it was found that the
Ohio laws required months residence
to establish citizenship. Unfortunately,
the young lady belonged in Iowa. This
plan being upset, 1t was next decided
that residence could be made out for
the girl in Colorado, where she had Wis
tied her brother The lover thereupon

procured the necessary papers from the
courts there. These We're duly certified
by the governor of the state and for
warded to Washington. The lawyer
here had them certified again by the de-
partment of state, with Mr. Blane's
own signature All difficulties being ap-
parently cleared away, the young man
started for Paris. He took the docu-
ments to Whitelaw Reid, at that time
our minister. Mr.. Reid said they We're
no good.
The upshot of the whole matter was
that the young man went TO London,
spent four weeks there, had the banns
cried in church. and in due time went
back TO Paris to get his fance. They
returned to London, together with the
aunt and "A maid, and We're happily

very expensive, but it was accomplished
