Str. Greenwood Running Throug to
Coal Valley.

through to Coal Valley, the head of nav
1gation on the Kanawha river. The
boat was prevented from going up the
stream that far, IN several trips, on
account of the government being en-
gagged in hanging a new set of gates at
Lock No. 8. Coal Valley is % miles
above Charleston. Captain Gordon
Greene, of the steamer Greenwood, says
that the scenery from Charleston to
the headwaters is the finest along the
stream. The winding hills start al
most from the edge of the river banks,
and at times the mountains look as if
they were penetrating the clouds.
Beacon Lights Must be Kept Burning.
The government pays light tenders
living along the banks of the Ohio river
from IS to $13 a month. Some have
only one light to attend to, while 9TH
ers have two, three, four and five. Four
times a year the light tender steamers
make the trips in their respective dis
tricts, supplying the tenders with oil,
wicks, candles, matches and pay sala-
ries for services. The light must burn
every night. Not only when the nights
are pleasant, and lighting the lamp is
a cheering task, but every night, though
the river rage and winds blow, they
must be kept burning, in order to guide
river vessels in a safe channel. So the
lights burn every night-winking their
bright eyes from shore and swamp,
from floating buoys and ends of bikes,
night In and night out and through
weeks and months until the last ven
turesome steamer is gone.
More Coal Shipped Than Ever Before.
Close to So, 900, 900 bushels of coal
have been shipped down the Ohio river
since navigation opened last December,
which eclipses all former records for
coal shipments in the same length of
time. bout SO per cent. of this fuel was
sent south by the Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Coke Co., the
other 2 per cent. being shipped to the
south by the Independent coal compa-
mics.
During April and May, "a, 1888, 900
bushels of coal were sent out. From
the time navigation opened, until March
81, Of this year, there had been shipped
67,578,132 bushels. Adding what went
out during April and May, it makes the
total shipment 50. 916, 1872 bushels. Many
lows of coal that departed are not in
cluded in the figures given, for the rea-
son that a number of steamers passed
the Davis Island dam at night. How
Ever, So, 000, 900 bushels is considered to
be q very close estimate.

Grass is the forgiveness of Nature
her constant benediction. Fields tram
pied with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts of cannon, grow
green again with grass, and carnage is
forgotten. Streets abandoned by traf-
ic become grown like rural lanes, and
are obliterated. Forests decay, har-
vests perish, flowers vanish, but grass
is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its subterrane-
an vitality, and emerges upon the first
solicitation of spring. Sown by the
wind, by wandering birds, propagated
by the subtle horticulture of the ele-
ments which are its ministers and
servants, it sOftens the rude outlines
of the world. It's tenacious flores hold
the earth in its place and prevents its
sOluable cOmpOnents from washing
into the sea. 1t invades the solitude
Of the deserts, climbs the inaccessible
slopes and forbidding pinnacles of
mountains, modifies climates and de-
termines the history, character and
destiny of nations. Unobtrusive and
patient, it has immortal vigor and ag-
gression. Banished from the thorough
fare and the field, it bides its time to
return, and when vigilance is relaxed,
or the dynasty has persisted, it silently
resumes the throne from which it has
been expelled, but which it never abdi-
Gates. 1t bears no blazonry Of bloom
to charm the sense with fragrance or
splendor, but its hOmely hue is more
enchanting than the lily or the rose.
1t yields no fruit in earth or in air,
and yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world.-John J. Ingalls,.

THINK HE IS CRAZY.
Attorney for Hardman Will Try 20 Prove
the Prisoner Insane Owing TO His
Erratic Career as a Criminal.

1t is understood that an attempt
viii be made to have Sam Hardman, in
Jail charged with grand larceny, de
clared insane. The attorney for Hard
man bases his belief that the prisoner
is mentally unbalanced owing to the
fact that he is charged with four fell
onies in as many different counties in
the state. If conviction is secured on
all these counts it means a long term
in the penitentiary.
]. NJ. Hardman, of Hill City, father
of the prisoner, is in Goodlahd, accom-
panied by H. J. Harwi, an attorney of
that place, who viii look after Hard
mans case, and attempt to prove him
insane.
No one here believes for a moment
that the prisoner is insane, but AttOr-
ney Harwi has the reputation Of being
''resOurseful" and the scheme he is
here to work to deliver his man from
the meshes of the law is the insanity
dodge. It may not work.
Hardman Released on Bond.
Sam Hardman was released from
Jail Wednesday on bond for $500, his
father, J. NJ Hardman, and NJ. @. Inflow,
of Hill City, and II. ". Lister, of this
county, as sureties.
Attorney Harwi was very persistent
and tried all day Tuesday and until
late Tuesday night to bluff County
Attorney Andrews into an agreement
to let the prisoner be brought before
the probate court here on the insanity
plea, but without success. He even
threatened that he would make it cost
the county several thousand dollars if
the county attorney persisted in his re-
fusal. He resorted to other proposals,
one to have the elder Hardman ap-
pointed deputy sheriff and the son
turned over to him. All these ridicu-
IOus proposals were of course rejected.
Then he proposed to offer bail, with the
elder Hartman and Mr.. Inflow as sure
ties, but the proposition was refused
unless a surety residing in the county
was on the bond. Finally it was agreed
to release him on $500 bond, the elder
Hardman and NJ. c. Inflow, of Graham
county, and H.W. Lister, of this county,
being sureties.
1t is thought Attorney HarRii will
try and have Hardman pronounced in
sane by the probate court of Graham
county.

NEW STAMPS HERE.
GoodIand ONCE Gets Supply of Pan =
American Variety-Same Shape
as the Columbian Stamps.

The GoodIand postoffice has received
a supply of the new Pan-American ex-
position postage stamps and the stamps
are now on sale.
The exposition stamps are as hand
some a series of stamps as was ever Is
sued by the government. They are
the same shape as the Columbian
stamps, but not quite as large.
The one-cent stamp is green with
black medallion picture Of steamship.
The picture is labelled East Lake
Navigation" The two-cent denomina-
ton is red, and the picture on the
medallion is ''The Fast Express" On
the four-cent stamp is an automobile.
The medallion is black, and the border
red brown. The fve-Cent shows the
bridge at NiagaraFalls on the medallion
and the border is bright blue. The
eight-cent has a lavender border, and
the black picture is called "Canal
Locks at Sault de Ste. Marie" On the
ten-cent stamp, which is the highest
denomination of the series, there is an
ocean steamer. The medallion is black,
as in the others of the series, and the
border is light terra Gotta.
1t pays to find one of these stamps
with the medallion turned upside down.
Some mistakes of this kind are liable
to occur, and stamp collectors pay big
prices for such errors. a man named
Gray, living in Massachusetts, offers
500 for a sheet of stamps with the in
verified medallion. 1t is likely, however,
that any errors Of this kind can be
sold for many times that amount. In
1869 the government issued a series of
stamps which had black medallions,
and stamps Of this issue with the
medallion inverted, can be sold easily
for from s1OOto $500 apiece.
