Brady's Jump.

John p. Ccwan wrote up Brady's Bend
for last Sundays Gazette, and winds mp
his interesting article 40 follows:
-Four miles from the river IL the
hamlet Of Kaylor. A few months ago
this place could boast only OF store
and blacksmith shop. Since the com
ing Of the railroad and the building OF
the coal tipples Its population has In
creased TO almost 1000.
Everywhere there are evidences Of
prosperity. Many OF the houses that
have been vacant for decade have
been rebuilt by Mr.. Dewey and are be-
ing rapidly picked up by tenants.

lation 10 the sCjourner who delights to
get away from the maddenipg crowd

has hts own version. Down on the
bank Of the river, while sitting In "a
skif that ID used to ferry the romantic
stream, boy pointed ont q Uniting cliff

jumped off when the Indians chased
him. He jumped clear down Oft the
top Of that rock into the river and

The story IN good one but IL would
be rank heresy TO repeat II In Beaver Co.
where the people point out one OF their
hills and tell the same tale. Neverthe.
less the youngsters up here like to relate
the incident and ] suppose IL does them
some good-with humble apologies to
the good people Of Beaver.

In review of the realty situation in

Press OF Sunday quotes broker az say
ing that he expects to see the prices OF
coal lands soar a great deal higher, in
the next two or three years Ii was
pointed out that the sales in the last
year or two had been SO enormous as to
CAME shortage in the supply There
are, but few big blocks in the market
anywhere in the Pittsburg district The
Pres says that this view of the situa-
ton should be Of value to owners OF
coal and they should act wisely by hold
fng on to their land and awaiting de-
velopmenfs. This advice can be taken
for Hbat it is worth by the farmers OF
Butler county who have not yet sold
thei1 coal. The fart remains, however,
that those who have waited have realiz-
ed much more than those who let go OF
their holdings when the first purchaser
came along. The value Of coal lands in
the greater Pitfsburg district OF which
Butler county Is an important part will
continue to increase in value and it is to
the material interests Of the owners of
this property and Of the county that
they should realize from this enhance

A Fashionable City Church

attended q fashionable city church one
Sunday morn.
Feeling half sick and all forlorn,
Seated myself in the pew
As many others were wont ~ do.
The choir struck strain,
IL reached to the clouds then came back
to earth again.
The singing was grand. the people said,
/ almost wished were dead.
They never lived In Butler county like
me,
To hear the warbling birds and hum
ming bee.
/ love harmonious sounds.
From the singing birds to the baying
hounds.
This church choir sings for pay.
Every BLESSED Sabbath day.
The preacher made prayer;
He prayed for every saint and sinner
there.
He prayed for the whole world, which
was nice.
Even the heather Chinee who kill mis-
sionaries and eat rats and mice.
The deacons numbering eight,
Passed around the collection plate.
The preacher would have us know
The money 10 foreign land would 40.
The preacher announced his text, be re-
fsred 10 rome old sinner who had
God defied.
He should OF preached Jesus Christ cru
Gifted.
This theme the people love to hear,
Every sabbath In the year.
Those old sinners are long dead and
gone.
The worst the sun ever shone on.
Why they reserrect them at the present
day
IL beyond my ken would surely say.
This In what the preachers are prone TO
do
Holding their bad deeds mp for the
young 10 view.
They should let their bad deeds DC bur.
led In the dreary past,
They will be brought TO light mt last.
On the dread judgment day
We will NIL hear what they have 10 say.
Perhaps they had temptations we know
not Of,
We read Of some who we're deeply In
love
This will make Of any man fool,
II In a lesson that IL never taught In
school
David fell In love with Uriah's wife:
He placed Uriah In the midst Of tho
strife.
He knew In the battle Uriah would
surely fall,
At the present day we would say he had
great gall.
There was Noah and many more.
And Solomon who had wives by the
score.
IL man has only two wives Mt the
present day
There is u grand kick and the duce TO
pay.
II the preachers would take the new
Testament and drop the old,
They wonld gather more lost sheep into
the fold.
Say 10 old and young. grcat and small,
Jesus Christ died for all.

Gen. Clay Declared Insane.

One of the final scenes of n remark
able romance was enacted in the court
room at Richmond, Kentucky, last
week when Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay, aged
SO, was declared insane. A week pre-
viously Dora Richardson Brock, the
divorced child wife of the aged Ken
tuckian, had declared her intention OF
going on the stage. 1t is alleged Gen;
Clay has been insane several years, and
his mad love for 16-year- old girl. who
was 13 when she married him, Is held to
be largely responsible for his condi-
ton. At the time of the marriage
Gen. Clay was 80. He was cultured.
a man of repute in the affairs of the
Nation, the scion of famous family
and the possessor of wealth. She was
illiterate. untutored in the ways of the
world. content amid her lowly surround
ings.
Gen. Clay treated his wife as child,
He bought her dolls, picture books, toy
furniture, and many other things which
have been made TO amuse children. FL
nally The old man purchased his young
wife doll about 90 inches long and
filled with mechanical contrivances that
caused it to talk, and cry, and laugh
The generals attempts TO educate his
wife were futile She read little and
wrote little, but she had no taste for
books and art. After few months she
ray away with a farmer youth, whom
she married after Gen. Clay secured a
divorce.
The girls second husband, whose
name was Brock, died in short time
The love of the aged soldier and diplo-
mat for the young country girl then
sprang to life again. and he sought to
have her return to Whitehall, his coun-
try seat. as his wife in as ardent a
fashion as when she first left him to go
back to her brothers humble shack in
the woods. His children interfered,
however, and prevented a reconcilia-
tion. By the proceedings i'll the insane
court they have also blocked his plan to
leaye his whole estate to Dora Richard
son. He is now confined to his home
with a nurse and guards. His health is
poor, and it is feared he cannot live
long.
1t is said Dora Richardson will make
her first stage appearance neyt month
in Boston, and that she will be advertis
ed AS the child wife of Gen. Cassius
NJ Clay"
Gen. Clay died suddenly, yesterday.
He was famous abolitionist and author
in his day; ana was President Lincoln's
ambassador to Russia.
