broken, and forming twos, we went on.
We knew nothing of any one being IN
sight. but the news of our saluting the
flag went faster than we travelled, and
appeared to be known almost spOntane-
ously all over that Tuckaleechee Cove.
We were never treated with more hos
pitality and kindness by any people, at
any time, in any section of the country
than by those mountain people. They
prepared us dinners of the best they had,
fed our horses. took US into their homes,
and were lavish in their acts of kindness.
But they did not bring out their guns, and
we could not find them.
I'VE afterwards learned that honOring
the old flag had saved us from n bloody
reception, where it would have been al
most n miracle if any of our party would
have been left to tell our side of a san
culinary contest, and instead had led us
to most kind and hospitable treatment.
AS we stood around and saluting the flag,
without our knowledge, we stood inside Of
the trap ready set, and all that was need
ed was for us to spring the trigger. by
any insult that we might offer to that
banner"

Gentlemen" said the Judge, II am

the difficulty we had in securing a jury.
You saw talesman after talesman elude
our most vigorous efforts, and you remem-
Der your own frantic attempts to escape.
You have heard the witnesses bullied and
browbeaten with an energy and skill which
| have rarely seen equalled during my long
professional career. You have witnessed
the tits between counsel and listened to
their spicy and interesting personalities.
You have listened also to their able and
eloquent speeches and TO my own learned
and lucid charge. And yet you come here,
after only IA hours deliberation, and say
you cannot agree.
Gentlemen, it is your duty to agree. 1t
is the intention of the law that juries shall
agree. OF what use would be our boasted
system of jury trial. this boon of Magma
Charta. this palladium of our Angio-Saxon
liberties, if juries never agreed? Reflect,

Comrade d. S. Brown. formerly Ser
geant- Major Of tho 7th Ohio Cav, who
has retired from business and now resides
in Los Angeles, CAL, devotes some Of his
leisure time to writing sketches of army
life. The following story is told by Maj
Brown of a member of his old regiment:
''Bill" Mccoy, Of Go. Q. 7th Ohio Cav.
had been detailed with the Chicago Mer-
camille Battery of our brigade. One day
he came over to the camp with his right
hand done up in huge bandage.
What's the matter, Bill?" one of the
boys asked.
Burnt it on our cook stove" he said.
The idea of having cook stove in
camp at that stage of the war made us
all laugh, and that laugh made Bill mad.
Come over to the battery he said,
''and I'll show it to YOU
We went over, and there stood the
stove.
Coming along the road the other
Il was settin' on the caisson beside Joe
Day. BY and by we passed house with
the kitchen door wide open. There was
breeze blowing and the sweetest smells
you ever smelt came floating out of that
door. We were more than half starved,
and the smell of roasting goose and sweet
potatoes was mighty tantalizing. Look
ing in the door we saw n cook stove with
big. fat nigger woman cook bending
over it.
:" joe 1 says to the chap on the cais-
son beside Inc. Joe, that cook stove is
just about the right size for our mess /
says.
Right you are says Joe.
Without wasting any more words we
two jumped off the caisson and started
for that kitchen. On the way through the
yard we picked up big two-inch plank.
''rhe old nigger nanny cleared out
when she saw us coming. We opened the
oven doors, ran the plank through the
stove, and just fairly picked up the whole
outfit. In minute we had it loaded ON
the caisson, with the fire still going full
blast, and were driving along again. As
We went round the turn in the road the
old black cook came TO the door of the
kitchen and started to wiring her hands
and cry.
'Clar' to goodness she called. All
nah dinnah am done gone wifi dem
Yanks.'
by the time we got back to camp that
dinner was cooked just right, and | never
tasted anything half so good as that
goose. Ask Joe Day if he has ever tast-
ed anything sweeter. And there were six
of the best pies ever tasted in that oven,

Henry Clay as a Criminal Lawyer.
lCourier-Journal.)

MIR. James Sandusky, IN old and we'll
known traveller of Chicago, who in his
youth lived in Henry Clay's district at the
time when Clay was at his prime Us a
lawyer, has related an interesting story of
the great Kentucky statesmaR
"A man was once being tried for muir
der" said Mr.. Sandusky, "and his case
looked hopeless indeed. He had, without
any seeming prOvocatiOn, murdered one of
his neighbOrs in cold blood. Not lawyer
in the County would touch the case. 1t
looked bad enough to ruin the reputation
of any barrister.
THE man, as last extremity, appealed
to Mr.. Clay to take the case for him.
Every one thought that Clay would GER
tainly refuse. But when the celebrated
lawyer looked into the matter his fighting
blood was reused, and. to the great sur
prise of all. he accepted.
Then came a trial. the like of which
have never seen. Clay slowly carried on
the case, and it looked more and more
hopeless. The only ground of defense the
prisoner had was that the murdered man
had looked at him with such fierce muir
derous look that out Of self-defense he had
struck first. A ripple passed through the
jury at this evidence.
''The time came for Clay to make the
defense. 1t was settled in the minds of
murder in the first degree. Clay calmly
proceeded. laid all the proof before them in
his mastery way. Then, just as he was
about TO conclude, he played his last and
master card.
"'Gentlemen of the jury he said. as

A law passed by the Austrian Parlia-

took effect. The object of the law is to
protect the producer against unfair COM

The artificial butter made from oils and
suet which has been sold by retail dealers
as genuine butter can no longer be dealt
in except specifically and distinctly as
margarine. All preparations of or from
margarine must be labeled so as to show
exactly what they are. The sale OF mix

Ten Miles Through One Corn Field.
louisville Courier-Journal.)

ffsHI.T
In Harrison Township, near Monroe
City, there is an area 1Ox1 miles in extent
that is now an unbroken ocean of corn,
which will yield from so to 100 bushels
per acre Until recently this area was an
undrained, marshy wilderness known as
Montour's Pond. Robert S. Johnson, one
of the managers Of the pond farm, recalls
that after the civil war the place was a
wilderness, densely timbered, and as late
as 10 years ago wildcats, reptiles and
other animals inhabited it.
