Ilow >>» A Uniiiy Min eil I pon Hnnidmliurii With « lloiif.loiHl of M«<ti mill a Cminou. “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.

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. StlllMl Ills l.lft.. 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.

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.

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. ) Herald.

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.
