from the Philadelphia Timet.
Tyk River Mills, Va., June 11
“Visit Grandfather Taylor, by all
means,” vociferated 'Wm from the ear
window, as the train drew out from the
little station, leaving us on the platform.
From this point we hastened on to our
destination, the little post village that re
joices in the euphouious name irorn which
ibis letter is dated.
“Visit Grandfather Taylor” was Tom's
parting suggestion, and we were prompt
to act upon it. We searched the place
over ter a proper conveyance. “Mose an’
4,8 fix ’ll take you thar, strangers,” re
plied a sawyer in answer to our in
terrogation; “but it’s a right smart
ways off.”
“Ob, the distauce is immaterial. Just
direct us, please, where we can And this
Moses and his—what did you call it?”
• Fix—anybody hereabouts can tell you
what a tix lir,” came the indefinite reply,
and the man smiled at our apparent ig
norance.
Wo found Mose, however, and found
him, also, to be a veritable Southern
negro, endowed with a prolixity of speech
amt imbued with all the subtle cunning
ami obtruding inquisitiveness character
istic of his lade. We were told that any
vehicle in Virginia below a carriage was
called a “fix,” and Mose’s “fix” was as
original in construction as it was Unique
in appearance. It was simply some
boards placed upon wooden axles, with
out springs, and boxes turned upside
down served for seats. Underneath dan
gled several bunches of fodder to feed the
anile upon during the journey. After a
little parleying Mose agreed to take us for
a stipulated sum, and. Laving perfected
our preliminary arrangements, we started
oil (or a short ramble in the immediate
neighborhood.
“SAy, boss,” called out Mose, “1 ’spose
a little spirits is yincluded in this yet
bargain, ain’t it? It done livens up so.”
We answered in the affirmative and he
skipped away at u lively rate, singing a
favorite song, to get his “fix” and mulo
ready lor the morrow’s journey.
VT THE MOUNTAIN ROAD.
The sun was just beginning to peep over
the lofty nine ltidge peaks, irradiating
the rieb, picturesque valley below In a
flood of ;• M, n light, as we took our seats
oti the and the massive lumber
,‘ilfs (.'• mountains of sawdust and the
bum anti buzz of the saws were soon left
nr oar roar and the civilized world was
for the time being forgotten. The ride up
theitimintain road was both novel and in
teresting. Occasionally we crossed a
bridge that spanned dangerous chasms,
sud bridge and road perfectly assimilated
with the wild, picturesque beauty of the
'surrounding scenery. On we jostled and
thumped, the voluble tongue of Mose re
galing tm with the traditional stories of
the marvelous exploits of the gnomes
and hobgoblins which were supposed to
Inhabit the dark, silent recesses in the
mountain lastm-ss. The barking of a dog
startled us.
"Whow, dar!” And Mose brought his
panting mule to an abrupt standstill that
nearly caused us to lose our equilibrium
nd tumble Off into the road.
“I)ar de house an’ dars do man yer
arter a sittin’ in front ob de do’a,” re
mark.d Mose, by way of introduction. “I
say, boss,” he continued, “dis yer spring
water ain’t much good up yer.” The hint
was easy to interpret, and we left him to
enjoy his “spirits.”
The- place looked more like a grotto than
the habitation of a human being. It Was
a me-story log cabin, covered with moss
Mni completely embowered in a luxuriant
ni fragrant creeping vines, and
•wan oak trees spread their protecting
over it. As we approached
[■earer an old man. slightly stoop-shoul-
with beard white as snow that c\-
ißemidi almost to bis waist, arose to meet
nShi ami greeted us with a pleasant smile
aAtiil “Glad to see you, strangers.” Wo
“Boated ourselves carelessly on the grass in
VMhe inviting shade beneath the trees and
tjjßpeued conversation at once.

A FATHER’S SEARCH.
The Queer looking Man Who is Eook
tiiS for the Heiress to a 910,000.000
Fortune.
From the Denver Pews.
He was a queer looking genius. Below
the medium height, thin and emaciated;
lace brown and wrinkled; black, beady
eyes; scanty gray beard over all his lace;
bti6hy, black eyebrows; iron gray hair,
thin and long, with just the suspicion of
a tuck to the ends. His clothes were
black, shiny, seedy iiuil ill-littlng. His
hat was a relic of by-gone days—a cross
between a bell-crown and a sawed-off
Derby. His shoes turned up at the toes
ami down at the heels. The queer look
ing old gentleman was “Professor” Rich
ard Belvau, a gentleman who announces
that he will give private instruction at
night to persons who have not had the
advantage of educational facilities.
"It it is as you say, that you are making
a good living out of your business, why is
it, if a fair question, that you do not dress
in better taste?”
“I have had that question often asked,
and as often nave i refused to answer, but
by giving my story publicity it may help
me along, and 1 will tell it to you. lam
saving my money to tiuil my daughter.”
“Where is she?”
“1 have asked that question thousands
of times. L feel assured that she isn’t
dead. 1 have searched the world over for
her once and will sea-eh it over again. I
will find her yet. To make my story as
brief as possible, twenty years ago I was
living in London, England, with my little
girl, who was then 5 years of age. Her
mother died about a year before. I was a
bank clerk, getting a good salary, and
was laying by a little for a rainy day. 1
had a brother in India immensely wealthy.
He had promised to make my daughter
his heiress when be died, and he kept his
word. I was ignored in the will, and
such were its provisions that another
person than myself was appointed to take
care of her property until she became of
age. I didn’t care much. 1 was making
enough to support tis.
“Well, the whole thing in a nutshell is
my daughter was stolen, and frußi that
day to this 1 have been searching tor her.
I expended my savings in searching Eu
rope. 1 went hack to London and worked
until I hail saved enough to search Asia,
Africa and Australia, and did so.
“1 returned to Europe. While in Milan,
Ualv, I went broke. Being a good linguist
and having noticed an old man writing
letters for the peasants, I set up in busi
ness for myself and made money enough
to come to America. Since in this coun
try I have supported myself in the busi
ness 1 am in uow. By rigid economy 1
manage to save enough money every two
or three years to continue my search. I
have been back to Europe five times since
i came to America, and will go back in
July.”
“Have you ever got trace of your
child?”
“Never. But I shall not give up the
search. Something tells me she is yet
alive. 1 don’t know why she was stolen.
Her money is untouched. There are up
wards of A‘2,000,000 to her credit in the
Bank ot England. No onecau touch it,
and if she is not found 1 suppose it will
go to the crown,”

A QUEER STORY.
A Cousin of Quoon Victoria Dying In Ob
scurity and Secretly Burled.
From the London Truth.
A few days ago there died in Preston,
at an ordiuf.ry cottage house In a street
ou the northern side of the town, a woman
of royal descent—a second cousin of
Queen Victoria, it is distinctly asserted,
and, so far as the town is concerned, she
went down to the grave, at the age of 80,
“unhonored and unsung.” The only
mourner at tho graveside was her son,
whose life has been of a most, checkered
description. For particular reasons we
purposely suppress names; if references
were plainly made the living might lie
injured in material prospects. This per
sonage, true to the vow she had made,
gave no general clue to her character or
lineage. So well whs this vow kept Unit
only a limited favored number wore able
to penetrate tho secret. Descended from
a royal stock ot peculiarly historic re
nown, the woman referred to passed her
vouthful days in the vicinity of Balmoral
I'aßtle. A brow Hootch laddie, well edu
cated, hut with no tine ancestry to boast
of, wooed and won the maiden. They
were married, but the marriage was not
approved of in cert ain high quarters and
the wedded couple afterwards took their
departure and located themselves iu il
neighboring Scottish town. * * *
Great secrecy was observed ns to the fam
ily character and associations of the de
ceased and it was only three days ago we
ascertained, through quite a special chan
nel, that she had lived and died at Pres
ton. A short time before her death she.
with her son, went specially to London
anil stayed there for a week, certain ar
rangements being made during tbeir so
journ in the metropolis. In her last ill
ness she called her son to her bedside,
gave him good counsel and advised him
to be content with his present station in
life, as any departure from it might lie at
tended with inconvenience to his huppl
ness. During her lifetlnio there were
from time to time communications pass
ing between London and Scotland and the
deceased, which inclines in to think that
the so-called error of her marriage was
viewed in a by no means very harsh light,
and the events which subsequently took
place strongly confirm this view. The
deceased was a ripe scholar, a good lin
guist, possessed a well-balanced mind,
and left behind her many things bearing
upon her royal descent. These, we un
derstand, are about to be, if they have not
already been, sent to a certain quarter. A
voluminous correspondence has been
committed to the llames by order of cer
tain authorities and a diary kept by hus
band and wife has shared the same cruel
fate. Many of the books bore marginal
notes in ink, and these, too, have been
subjected to the same fiery ordeal. In ac
cordance with instructions officially giv
en, all manuscripts and letters have been
destroyed, while some articles have been
sent off to London and Scotland.
GOING BACK TO AN OLD FORM.
An Action for Detinue in the City Court
-The Old Wager or Law
From the Baltimore American.
Mrs. Margarotta K. Perkins, by Charles
J. Bonaparte, her counsel, some time
since entered suit in the City Court
against Thomas J. Mason to recover two
gold chains, valued at SSOO, or their
value, and SI,OOO damages for their de
teution. It is the general custom in such
cases to replevy tho goods, in which case
bond is given ami the Sheriff seizes the
goods at once, or to bring an action in
trover and recover the value of tho goods
alone, the title to the goods then remain
ing in the defendant. The form of action
in the present case was that of “detiuue,”
and ii is the first time in the history of
the State, so far as the records show, that
such an action has been brought. The
Court cf Appeals decisions extend hack
to 1658, and in none of them does such a
cuse distinctly appear. Mr. Wei. S.
Bryan,counsel for Mason, demurred to the
declaration, arguing that the action of
detinue, although known to he an old
English form of action, was obsolete. The
“wager of law” was one of
the incidents this form of ac
tion, which was that if the defendant
came into court and swore he had not de
tained the goods sought to be recovered,
and twelve of his neighbors came in
with him and swore they believed him, it
defeated the action. Mr. Bryan said that
as the “wager of law” would not lie per
mitted at the present time, and as It was
an incident to the action of detinue, and
the court, be thought, bad no power to re
vive the action without all its incidents,
it would seem the whole matter was anti
quated and obsolete.
Mr. Bonaparte argued that the action
was a common law remedy, and, while it
had never heretoiore been used in this
Mate, it was perfectly competent to use it
if any person so desired. The “wager of
law” could not be invoked simply as being
contrary to the constitution of "the State.
Judge Phelps, in his opinion, mentioned
an old English case, decided 1817, where
the “wager of battle” was chosen and
was granted by the court, although this
method of trial bad not been used for 300
years. In the “Wager of battle,” Instead
of swearing the case away, as in the
"wager of law.” each side chose a cham
pion, and they fought it out. This case
caused the abolition in England, by set of
Parliament, of both the “wager of law”
nml “wager of battle.” Jud e Pheipsde
ciiled that, although unused heretofore,
the action of “detinue” was still in force,
and that the Court of Appeals, in a case
decided in 1302, had recognized detinue as
a possible form of action. He therefore
overruled the demurrer. Tl.e defendant
then pleaded that he held the chains as
collateral security for a losnol s2si>,which
was still unpaid, uud on this plea the case
will be tried.

Dr. Kennedy’s‘Favorite Remedy’ cured her.
This was t wo years ago.”
We are not In the Habit of Fulling any
sort of patent medicines in our column*, but
we happen to know Dr. David Kennedy, of
Itondout. N. Y., and can personally testify to
the excellence of the medicine which the Doc
tor calls “Favorite Remedy.” And if a word
of ours will persuade anvlsidy to use it and
thus find relief from suffering no professional
etiquette shad hinder us from saying that
word. For diseases of the blood, kidneys and
lidwels it has no equal. We would not be,
without it for five times the dollar that it
costs .—Daily Time t, Trov , V. J’,
