“Kentuck" in Nashville Banner.
For many years prior to the late war
there lived upon the bank of the Ohio
river, and opposite the town of Branden
burg, Ky., one David Bell, whose only
occupation, so far as any one knew, was
that of a ferryman. He had a small patch
of land, upon which was a good and sub
stantial house. He kept good horses
always had plenty of money, and it was
the wonder of every one (who knew him)
how he made it. He had three sons, and
when the gold fever broke out in ’49 he
equipped the two eldest, John and Horace,
for the overland route to California, which
was quite expensive in that day and time.
It was not an unfrequent occurrence for
slaves to make their escape from their
masters in Brandenburg and the surround
ing country. Many were caught by men
in Indiana and returned to their owners
for the rewards offered, while many made
good their escape into Canada. An under-
§ round railroad was supposed to be work-
ig, but no one could detect it, but many
had suspicions of the route.
About the year of 1865 or 1856 a very
valuable negro belonging to Dr. Ditto
made his escape into Canada, and the Ditto
family, being quite numerous and the pos
sessors of many slaves, they set to work to
ferret the matter out. A detective living
in Indiana was employed, who soon found
that David Bell and an old free negro
named Oswald Wright, living near
Paoh, Ind., were the secret agents for the
underground railroad. He represented to
Bell and Wright that he had seen the
Ditto negro in Canada, who had furnished
him money to steal his wife from Brau-
denburg and convey her to him in Canada.
They readily fell into the trap and the
arrangement was made for the detective
to go to Brandenburg and have the wife
in readiness some dark night upon the
bank of the river, for the Bells to come
over and get. Or course the object of this
was to catch them in the act and on Ken
tucky soil. At the appointed hour old
Bell.and the negro, Wright, remained at
Bell’s house and sent Charles Bell over in
a skiff, who was met by the detective and
woman, but was immediately arrested by
the sheriff’. They then event accross the
river and got old Bell and Wright by some
means tolcome down to the water’s edge,
where the sheriff' would have jurisdiction,
and they also were arrested and lodged in
jail. This occurred in the fall of 1857, and
the two Bells were held to bail in the sum
of $10,000. John and Horace Bell wore
supposed to be rich in California, and that
they would come and bail their father and
brother out and take them away; but when
they came they failed to give bail, and the
following summer of 1858, when a great
many of the people of the town were in
the country to a barbecue, the two brothers
crossed the river, and, under pretense of
carrying a carpet-bag of clothing to the
father and brother, overpowered the jailer
and liberated them. Horace had
been an officer in the Peruvian
army, and was considered a dare
devil. He remained at his father’s
house in Indiana, but kept out of reach of
the Kentucky authorities; but the Ken
tucky slave-holders were exceedingly anx
ious to capture him at least. They offered
Yankee Bligh, of Louisville, $500 for his
arrest. Horace had a girl in Louisville,
and she would go to New Albany to meet
him. So one day Bligh and his men fol
lowed her over there, and when Horace
came down to the ferryboat with her in
the evening they kidnaped him, and
landed him in the Brandenburg jail, thirty
miles below, before the next morning.
The excitement was unbounded in New
Albany over the kidnaping of a citizen
by Kentucky without lawful authority.
Indignation meetings were held,
and a steamboat was procured and
loaded with volunteers to rescue the
prisoner. They came to Brandenburg, but
the whole county rose in arms to repulse
them. They had a cannon on the steamer,
and in case they were compelled to sur
render the town Bell was taken out of jail
and carried to the country, and the gentle
men from Indiana were informed that if
the town was iired upon Beil’s head would
fall from his shoulders. A flag oi truce
was sent on shofc from the steamer, which
was met by the good citizens, and it was
finally agreed' that Bell should be brought
back, tried, and given bail, all of which
was done. And thus ended what seemed
to be a very serious matter, hut was noth
ing more than a large sized farce.
THE NEW AND YOUTHFUL LEADER.
J.oril Jt»lidoI|ili riniri'lilll hi Hi'- Xi'ii I’osilhiii.
Tin' Hal on in Affair.
London Cablegram.
Lord Randolph Churchill shows great
zeal in his new position. By the aid oi the
government whip and Dod’s Companion
he is busily becoming familiar with all the
members of the house with whom lie lias
not been personally acquainted. His ar
duous duties, however, are telling visibly
upon bis physique. During his recent im
portant speech lie resorted several times
to the brandy and soda by his side, and
perspired so freely tha{ two handkerchiefs
were saturatedjin mopping his lace. His
manner in the house recalls in some par
ticulars that of Disraeli. While a member
was commenting upon his speech the other
night lie sat appaiently unconscious of
what was going on, and unheeding certain
sarcastic references which seemed to afford
the house considerable amusement. Sud
denly he proved his real attentiveness by
jumping up to correct a quotation in wh ich
the speaker had made a trilling blunder.
The effect was to disconcert the orator and
spoil the effect of his speech, while dis
playing to good advantage the coolness
and self-control of the new and youthful
leader. , . r , , ,,
M. de Gier’s.stiff reply to England pro
test against the closing of the port of La-
toum lias produced a painful impression,
which is not likely to pass away until some
action is taken by the government to suit
ably maintain England’s dignity in the
matter. The linn ness oi Lord Rosebery
in making the protest is universally com
mended, but it is feared that the c/ar,
smarting under the reproaches conveyed
therein of bad faith, may go to,even great-
er extremes. It is said in well informed
circles that the czar’s perpetual tear or
bombs has developed in him a temper nor- ,
dering upon insanity. He has taken tue
control of the foreign affairs of the empire |
into his own hands entirely, ami tin.-, is
really the explanation of the clumsy and
bungling way in which the Batoiun affair
was conducted—so different from the usual
Russial policy of concealing the iron hand ,
within a velvet glove. His ministers fear
to remonstrate, and the whole outlook tor
eastern diplomacy is decidedly tf' ( jomy. n
is considered certain that the conflict long
recognized as inevitable is now soon to re
precipitated. __
The Fourteen (Jrent Mistakes.
New York Star.
Somebody has condensed the mistakes
of life, and’ai'rived at the conclusion that
there are fourteen of them. Most people
would say, if they told the truth, that
there was no limit to the mistakes oi hie,
that they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands of the shore fn number,
but it is well to be accurate. Here then,
are fourteen great mistakes: It isa great
mistake to set up our own standard ot
right and wrong, and judge people
accordingly; to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own; to expect unifor
mity of opinion in this world; to look
for judgment and experience in youth; to
endeavor to mold alidispositions alike; to
yield to immaterial trifles; to look for per
fection in our own actions; to worry our-
and othen with wAnt faaaot b«
remedied; not to alleviate all that needs
alleviation as far as lies in our power; not
to make allowances for the intimities of
others; to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe only
I what our finite minds can grasp; to expect
1 to be able to understand everything.

Klali! Willi a Mml Snake.
A Wellsville (Ohio: man, on going to his
ice house one evening last week, saw at
the foot of a post two fell-sized copper- I
head snakes. He describes them as look- j
ing very beautiful in the sunlight, as in
playful glee they would wriggle and twist j
around the pole, and seemingly would at
tempt to climb it. He got a long pole and j
attempted to kill them, but they escaped 1
down a hole. Coming along a little later j
he saw them going .through the same
antics, and managed to kill them with a
long pole. Then, turning around, right at
hand he encountered a large “mud snake,”
which was not so easily dispatched. He
fought bravely and with the venom and l
determination of a tiger, occasionally jump- i
ing ns high as a man’s head, and, when op- 1
portunity offered, would wind itself around
the pole. Finally, however, it was safely
dispatched.

Mr. D. I. tVileoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky.,
says he was, for many years, badly afflicted
with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains
were almost unendurable and would some
times almost throw him into convulsions.
He tried Electric Bitters and got relief
from first bottle and after taking six bot
tles, was entirely cured, and had gained in
flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively

When the lion. M. L. Joslyn, the Mc
Henry county lawyer, was in the Illinois
senate he was one day advocating some
sort of a measure, ostensibly in the inter
est of the fanners, and took occasion sev
eral times to refer to “us farmers,” and
what “we tillers of the soil” deserve at the
hands of the legislature. When he had
several times spoken in this manner of
himself as a farmer, Senator Fosdick, who
was a little hop-o’-my-thumb sortofaman,
with a slim, squeaky voice, popped up,
and pointing his doubled finger at the
grizzly senator from McHenry, said:
“May I ask the senator what he raises
on his farm?”
“Certainly, sir,” said Joslyn. “I raise
h—1, and if you don’t sit down I’ll tell
where you were last night.”
Senator Fosdick wilted into his seat, and
didn’t breathe for a few moments for fear
he would blow himself away. He with
stood every temptation during the rest of
the session to interrupt “farmer” Joslyn.
Advice to Mothers.—Mrs. Winslow’s
Soothing Syrup should always be used
when children are cutting teeth. It re
lieves the little sufferer at once; it produces
natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as
“bright as a button.” It is very pleasant
to taste. It soothes the child, softens the
gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty-
five cents a bottle. jel7 d&wly

Misses Sallie Miley and Lizzie Peer killed
a horned snake on Sunday last in the cellar
of Mr. James II. Hoover’s house, on the
river, a few miles south of this place. The
young ladles were putting away the even
ing’s milking when they discovered the
hideous reptile, and at once attacked and
killed it. It measured four feet in length,
and had a horn on tlie tail three-quarters
of nn inch long. These snakes are said to
be deadly poisonous, and have a vicious
and aggressive nature.—Shenandoah tVa. )

Constipation, the curse of our sedentary
life, Dyspepsia, our national disease, and
Rheumatism, which comes from acid
stomach and from the sudden changes in
our climate, are quickly ciycd by taking J
one or two Brancfrelh’s Pills every night
for a month. Persons are now living, en
joying most vigorous health, who have
taken one of these Pills a night for over
thirty years. Chronic diseases are cured
by taking from two to four of Brandreth’s
Pills every night for a month. They
purge away the old diseased body. This ■

The country is flooded with bogus medicine
men, and in a few cases, a heavy capital is all
they have to sustain their prestige. Numerous
cleverly concocted certificates are forced upon the
unsuspecting, purporting to have “snatched from
the grave” some poor victim of blood poison, or
other disease, when to our knowledge, the identi*
cal persons lay grouning in agony while the pub
lic were reading of their remarkable recovery.
Another serious offense is the publication of
erroneous statements concerning various drugs,
such as are daily prescribed by our best phy
sicians. declaring them to he deadly poison.
Iodide of potash, which seems to receive their
greatest condemnation, whdn prescribed by phy

This company holds hundreds of genuine certifi
cates from persons who have been cured of vari
ous diseases arising from an impure state of the j
blood by the use of B. B. B. The question now is. j
if iodide of potash is such u terrible enemy to j
health, why is it that the Blood Balm Co. have j
made within three years the most gigantic sales

WONDERFUL ULCERS.
Atlanta, Ua„ June 5,1880.
In 1878 there came on mv hand what was
thought to be a carbuncle, which ran its course
several months, broke and finally healed. The
next spring knots, or knodes, came on my arms,
which were thought to be rheumatic, and I took
gallons of medicine from the best physicians ill
Cuthbert, Ga„ where 1 then resided.
About ibis linn‘ my left limb below the knee
commenced swelling at a fearful rate, and finally
came to a head and broke. Both arms were sore,
and I could hardly bear my weight standing, and
hardly know how l managed to live through it
all. About this time we moved from Cuthbert
to Atlanta I began to despair of ever getting
well; the sore on my limb was a regular eating
ulcer, now about three inches in length, two
inches in width, seeming to be down to the bone
and discharging about u cupful of pus (matter'
per day, my arms still running, my sleep dis
turbed, and I sometimes thought J would lose my
reason.
A friend recommended B. B. B. I commenced
its use. and I saw an improvement from the very
first. I have now taken 8 or 9 bottles, and my
arms are entirely well, and the large ulcer on my
limb has healed. I now feel like a new person,
