81 hear you have little sister at
your house ?" said a grocer to a small
boy.
"Yss, sir, replied Johnny.
"Do you ike herr" was the grocer's 8
next question.
81 wish it was boy" said Johnny,
"so I could play marbles with him, an
ball, an all those things when he gets
bigger"
well, said the grocer, why don't
you exchange your little sister for a
boy ?"
Johnny reflected for minute, then

A Lawyer and a Farmer Too.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun writes
Philetus Lipscomb, an old resident
of Tucker county, W. Va, died few
days ago. He was lawyer as well as
a farmer, and not unfrequently left
the farm to try a case in court.
This led sometimes to ludicrous
mistakes.
Once finely dressed and polished
stranger dropped into Tucker county
and swindled some Of the citizens. He
was arrested and indicted and his trial
came on. He employed LipscOmb as
hi. attorney, and by good management
was acquitted in two cases. He ac-
cordingly had great respect for Lips
combs ability as E lawyer, and when
some months after he got into similar
trouble in Virginia he sent for Lips
comb to come and defend him.
The case was called, and two stran-
gers appeared before the bar OF the
dignif.d old Virginia judge. One OF
them had the appearance Of a farmer
with grizzly hair and unkempt beard.
By his side sat a smooth-looklng indl-
vidual, a typical Yankee lawyer IN
appearance, with bold, classic face.
When the case was called the Judge
inquired whether the defense was
ready or had any statement to make.
The bewhiskered individual arose and
started to make statement, when the
dignifed Judge, in his seyerest tones,
ordered him to sit down. He again
INQUIRED whether the defendant had
anything to say or was ready for trial
Again the rebuked stranger arose and
began to address the court, but the
Judge more sternly than before ordered
him to take his seat. With % good
grace as possible the order was obeyed,
When the Judge put the question the
third time and the same individual
arose again and began making state
ment the Judge, patience was exhaust
ed and he fairly roared "Slt down,
you scoundrel, and let your counsel
speak for you
Ono Of the attorney, at the bar, who
saw the error the Judge had made,
arose and in suave manner said /:
your Honor, see, like myself, can
not see as well without glasses as he
could in days gone by, consequently
h. did not recognize Colonel Lips
comb, the celebrated farmer lawyer
from our sister commonwealth beyond
the mountains.
The Judge appreciated the situation
instantly, saw that he had mistaken
counsel for the prisoner, and placing
hir sp.ctacles on with great delIbera-
ton, drew himself up to full height
and again looking across the bar said:
"Ah, I see we will take a recess
until after dinner" although it was
scarce 10 o'clock in the morning
Then, coming down from the stand,
he took Colonel Lipscomb by the arm
and the two sauntered off together to
take drink Of old Virginia apple
toddy.
When court convened that after
noon the trial came on, but IN order
to make amends for the injustice he
had done the distinguished lawyer
from the daughter State" the Judge
was partial in his rulings throughout
the case to the prisoner, or rather bis
attorney, and when the jury brought
in their verdict and the seal was bro
ken on it by the clerk there were
found only two words, Not guilty"

A Relic Of the Confederacy.

The following item Of local interest
We take from the daily papers of re-
cent date, having been sent out as
press dispatch from Wheeling during
the convention of the United Daugh-
ters OF the Confederacy;
One of the most interesting as well
as valuable historical relics ever seen
in this city is now at the residence of
Col. Robert White, major-general COM
handing the West Virginia Division,
United Confederate Veterans. This
souvenir Is the original of the great
seal Of the Confederate States Of
America, the property Of Mrs. PEN
dleton, OF Shepherdstown, vice-presi-
dent Of the Daughters Of the Confede-
racy Of West Virginia, who is the guest
OF Mr.. and Mrs. White. Col. Alexan-
der +. Boteler, father o! Mrs Pendle-
ton, was a member OF Congress from
Virginia before the war, and was also
a leading and influential member OF the
Congress of the Confederate States.
He was appointed memberand chair
man Of the committee appointed to de-
sign great seal for the Confederate
government. Colonel BoteIcr was
one day walking toward the monument
to Washington which stood in front of
the Capitol at Richmond, and u
thought took possession Of him that be
had there the central idea for the
great seal Colonel Boteler commun-
icated his idea to the committee. and
in due time a design was drafted and
sent to London, to celebrated artist
and engraver named Wyatt, who re-
produced the design in silver, and in
due time 1t was returned to Richmond,
where it was greatly admired and
promptly approved 10y the Confederate
Congress. From the original silver
design, now at Colonel Whites, bronze
or copper dies were made for actual
use, while the original design IN silver
was presented by Congress to Colonel
Boteler IN reorganization of his services
and the appreciation Of them by the
authorities Of the Confederate govern
ment. At Colonel BoteleI death the
seal became the property of his
daughter, Mrs. Pendleton, and on COM
ing to Wheeling for this visit she
brought 1t with her, that Colonel
White and others might see and adj
mire it, The seal Is Of solid silver,
about three and one-hslf inches in
diameter, and is exqusitely engraved
in high relief.

Here's a rather good snake story
John Greenert, a prominent farmer of
Cherry Run neighborhood whose ve.
racity has never been doubted, tells Of
a wonderful species Of winged snake
seen by him aud farmland on his
place. He described the snake as
about three feet long and the wings
consisted Of membransous substance
which, when the snake was in a dor.
mant condition, remained folded up
under the body and were not noticed
by them until on their approach.
With a spring it raised from tho
ground and sailed through the air at
terrific speed The snake is ss
black as charcoal and has very re.
pul,ive appearance, especially when
flying through the air.

The motive power department Of
the B. &. o. system is now making an
experiment on making long runs with
their passenger engines. About two
weeks ago the frat engine made the
run from Cumberland to Benwood and
return in one day, which has been kept
up since and it is found to b. a success.
The same plan was inaugurated be-
tween Parkersburg and Cumberland.
Now the management is arranging for
an engine to make the longest run ev-
er made on the system. In a few
days one Of the large class passenger
engine, will leave Philadelphia with
a train through to st. Louis via Graf
ton and Parkersburg. The result Of
this long trip will be watched with in
terest by the railroad men in all parts
Of the country.

The Path to Divine Love.

1t is not they that never knew
Weakness or fear who are the brave:
Those who are proud. the knightly few
Whose joy is sull TO serve and save.
But they who in the weary night
Amid the darkness and the stress
Have struggled with disease and blight;
With pitful world-weariPesS;
They who have yearned to stand among
The free ard mighty Of the earth,
Whose sad. aspiring souls are wrung
With starless hope and hollow miTth;
Who die with every day, yet live
Through merciless. unbrightened years.
Whose sweetest right IS TO forgive
And smile divinely through their tears;
They are the noble. they the strong,
They are the tried the trusted ones.
And though their way is hard and long
Straight to the plying God It runs

Though the mills Of the gods grind

turned down the application Of gen.
tleman for postmaster at some town in
Connecticut. The other day the ex-
President wa, in that vicinity trout
fishing and when he had found de-
sirable spot and began to catch some
fish, the owner came along and ordered
him off. It turned out to be the dis
appointed applicant for the postoHics.
Upon being informed who the trespa8s-
er was, the gentleman only replied,

Cleveland's disappointment was, no
doubt, fully as great as that Of the

The practice of allowing Tom, Dick and harry to carry around in his pocket qua Of various minds and sizes, should be stopped. There is law against the carrying of concealed weapons, and it should be strictly enforced, During the past week there has been two or three instances where gun plays have been mace, and had it not been for by. islanders serious results might have fol. lowed, The class of people that are now residents of our city is not euch that it is necessary to go around armed to the teeth for fear of being waylad, robbed
 or sandbagged in broad daylight. A gun in the hands of hot headed man is liable to cost him his life and perhaps some one elses, while if he did not have it in lis possession at the time lives would be spared. The peace officers should do their utmost to enforce the law in regard to the carrying of con. ceaed weapons, and every time one is displayed the party pulling it should be arrested and fined promptly, or given fifty days. ,,.- .,-..... -.- .- ...... -

Rounded Up.

The band af cattle and horse thieves that have been making themselves too numerous in the Sulphur Spring valley and in the vicinity of the Swisshelm and Chiricahua mountain, by appropri- ating cattle and horses belonging to the ranchers in that section, suddenly came 10 grief, and for few short months at least will be placed where taey cannot enjoy their freedom as in the past The complaints were becoming frequent, and in order to put stop to it the sher- ifs office decided to have round up of their own and see what strays they could find.
 Monday morning Deputy Sheriff Sid Mullen passed through here on hia way to the scene of the depredations. He was accompanied from here by Con. stable Lewis, and from the Erie ranch by Foreman Roots and one or two of his men. The party made their way to the den of the rustlers in n>the Chiricahuas, where they succeeded Tn capturing three of the men, who were taken to Tomb stone today.
 The evidence against them is said to be exceedingly strong, and they will un- doubtedly be held to await the action of the grand jury under heavy bonds, with good show of spending few winters at the Arizana health resort, Yuma.
 The systematic stealing of horses and cattle has been going on in different parts of the county for nearly a year past, and all efforts to locate the guilty parties have heretofore been futile, and we sincerely hope the right parties have been apprehended and will be severely dealt with, which will be n warning to others that the laws of Arizona protect the cattlemen against band of rustlers and horse thieves.
