A good story is told of a Scotchman
residing in San Francisco who had all
his wits about him. He was the most
argumentative and the caimest of men
says the Indianapolis Sentinel They
use firearms rather inopportunely at
times out there, and early one mornir G
when the Scotchman (whom we VIII
call Mr.. McGregor) was returning
home. he was thus accosted by an
American citizen, suddenly holding up
a pistol:
Throw up your handsr'
'Why?" asked McGregor calmly
Throw them up!'
But what for?"
Put up your hands," insisted the
footpad, shaking his pistol. will you
do what 1 tell you?''
THAT depends said Mr.. McGregor.
IF We can show me any reason why
l should put up my hands, I'll no say
but what L wull: but your mere re-
to do so absurd thing. Moo, why
should you, a complete stranger, ask
me at this 'oor O. the mornin' on pub

And so Mr. McGregor marched his
man to the city prison and turned him
over to Capt. Douglass.

him in a strait-jacket." he said, serene
ly, to the officer. There's little doot

GUERILLA DURING THE WAR.

Tennessee claims to be the birthplace
of a man who has for many years peen
renowned throughout the world as the
ablest general and most redoubtaole
fighter in the Ottoman empire. Osman
Pasha, the hero of Plevna during the
Turko- Russian war in 1877 and who
now commands the Turkish forces IN
Greece, is native of the state that is
now celebrating the centennial OF its
existence. 1t has recently been ascer-
tanned by George McHenry, an eX-Con-
federate soldier of good reputation, that
Osman Pasha was once known to the
residents of East Tennessee as Bob
Crawford. He was born and reared
at Rogersville, and many of his rela-
tives reside there at the present day.
1t is some sixty three years since
Robert Crawford was born. His father
was a school teacher, an excellent
scholar, particularly we'll versed in
mathematics. His son was also a fine
mathematician and an apt scholar gen.
orally, but early developed a cruel, NAL
evolent disposition that caused him to
be greatly disliked and feared by his
companions. This led to his departure
from home before he had reached the
age of sixteen. He had a genius for
cruelty, and seemed to take an insane
delight in causing his associates pain.
In illustration of this trait In Bob's
character, Mr.. McHenry relates an in
stance in point. II remember one day."
he says, II was On my way to school,
which was at that time taught by q
widow, Mrs. Jane Garden, and in going
to her house passed along the road in

the summer and the old man only kept
school during the winter season. Bob
was sitting on the woodpile, busily en-
gagged making a cedar bow with his
jackknife; he was an artist with
knife even then, and L stopped and
eyed the bow enviously.

just closed failures have been only ST.

1892. Last month was the first for
four years of which the volume of the
business reported by clearing houses
was larger than in the corresponding
month of 1892, and the Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the country
this week show gratifying improve
ment. This is partly due to a large
yield of wheat and good prices, though
other farm products are realizing good
prices also.
1t is the wrong season to expect
much from industries, and yet there
has been material increase in the
number of hands employed in the iron
manufacture, because of the satisfac-
tory adjustment of the wage dispute
with the Amalgamated association and
the opening of numerous establish

the coal miners strike seems each dav
