John YOUNG BROWN, former con-

mer governor Of that great common
wealth, is said TO be dying at his home
in Henderson. When still a young man.
the name Of John Young Brown was
known from one end Of the country to
the other. Since he retired from the
sovernorship to private life he has not
been prominently before the public. but
many men are living who remember the
speech that made him famous.
1t was in the Forty-third congress.
and Benjamin F. Butler of Nassachu-
sets was forging chains for the south
when Brown, then comparatively un-
known, delivered his famous philibpic
against the then congressman from
Massachusetts, That speech has gone
into the records Of congress as the most
mastery bit Of invective ever delfv-
cred there. It came from a heart burn
Ing with the knowledge of a great
wrong, and it is said to be the only
human utterance that ever. touched Ben

FALlSEHOOD THE SEVENTEENTH,
This befeH an uncle Of mine in
Napa county, California, a few years
ago" said the Native Son. He was a
gentleman who could take several
drinks. and let liquor alone after he had
reached his ultimate capacity. He had
reached this condition when the Incl
dent I am about TO narrate took place.
He lived on a ranch some miles out
from town. For some reason liquor
would not keep at the ranch. so my
dear uncle was forced to ride to town
when his system required stimulation.
Well, he went in one day and got slim
uiated until his eyes stuck out He
reached an Unoccupied ranch about half
way home at nightfall. NY dear uncle
was wearieG and concluded. to rest at
the ranch that night. He found a lot
of old blankets on a bunk inside and
rolling these about him, went to sleep.
He did not rest well, he stated at home
next day and explained il by saying:
That old shanty is just alive with
heas. They simply chawed the liver out
of me last night He exhibited several
scars on his person in proof OF his as
sertion. Must have been mighty
husky feas,' one of the family re-
marked They were all of that said
my dear uncle I thought at one time
they would throw me out Of the bunk
The incident was dropped then. but a

and TOOK a look at the bunk He shook
