ness; to prohibit the running of passen
ger trains on Sunday.
‘ The senate amended the 4th section of
the general local option bill by providing
for an appeal to the superior o-urt. Mr.
Maddox moved to amend section sth by
changing “for the sale” to “for or against

to mee. on the first Mondays in March

Kalb, made a calculation to show that
Webster would pay $4 04 of the expense.
Mr. Turner, of Troup, advocated it be

lately established in his county, and the
companies had to send off for men to
manage them, paying SI,BOO a year each.

JOE MULHATTON S LATEST.
On Feb. 11, says a Huntingdon (Tenn.)
letter to the Nashville World, we left
Huntingdon for the southwestern portion
of this county for a few days' bird and
squirrel hunt, having for our companion
A. M. Lee, the Postmaster. Being se
cutely seated behind a 2:40 (hours) thor
oughbred, wo were soon on our hunting
ground. While following a rocky branch,
known as the Gin branch, we came to
where it skirted the margin of a high
bill. Our setter, Charlie, made a dash at
the rabbit and both rabbit and Charlie
disappeared in tbc hill. The entrance
was what we supposed to be a crevice in
tho rocks, as the margin of the hill was
covered with large sand rocks. In a mo
ment the bats came pouring out by the
hundreds. The weather being chilly they
fell to the ground in a stupor as soon as
tho air struck them. Their slumbers had
been disturbed by tho dog. We were
enjoying the luu when, to our astonish
ment, several large born owls came flop
ping out. One gave a dismal hoot as
though he had not seen daylight in years,
or wished to frighten us away. Becoming
uneasy for fear our dog could not return.
Mr- Lee went to the entrance ofthe cave.
Taking a pole and probing some six feet,
he found it made an abrupt angle to the
right; the opening was barely sufficient
for a common sized man to enter; he
groped his way until it became so dark
that he returned and revealed the terrible
news that it opened out into what he be
lieved to be a large bull, and that be
could hear Charlie running around and
whining, as though he was lost and could
not find bis way out. We sent to a
neighboring house and procured a lan
tern, determined to rescue Charlie at all
hazards. With lantern in hand, we both
entered, compelled to crawl on handsand
knees for some distance before we could
walk erect; the entrances *urned first to
the right aod then to the left, in a zigzag
form; finally we met Charlie, and his
bark, as it echoed and re echoed, aston
ished us to such an extent that we raised
our lantern over our heads, which threw
a bright light atound—wo stood dumb
for a moment—wo were shocked and hor
rified—tho surroundings were revealed;
wr weie in a large room, ceiled on sides
and overhead with rude clapboards; be
fore us sat a large table with a mutilated
pack ofcards in the centre; heavy wood
en chairs around the table, a couple ol
large and rough shop-made knives on one
corner. As soon as we could collect our
senses and calm our staggered brain we
found we were in a secret cave that bad
onoe been occupied by a band of outlaws,
but who or when was the question. In
surveying the room, which was 18x18.
we found, in one corner, a black some
thingjl.oldina the light close, our blood
was chilled; it was a large black man, his
skin and flesh dry as those who in ancient
days were given passage over Charon; a
laige and rough made chair, was locked
around his ankle ano fastened to a staple
”1 tho fluor. In the opposite corner lay
the dried frame oftwo huge bloodhounds;
in an old and heavy wooden box were
found two old fashioned horse pistols with
flint locks; they had undoubtedly done
service in the revolution; there were also
several pair of handcuffs. We began to
think we were in the regions of the
damned. When looking on the rourh
wall there we saw the "handwriting;” it
was "John A. Murrell, 1828.” We were
in the great outlaw’s den; we could then
see that the man chained had been stolen
by the bold bandit—brought there and
chained until they could run him South
aud sell him. The presumption is that
when the cave was deserted ho was alive;
the doom was sure, but what agony he
underwent—chained and alone—his face
like Milton’s devil "grinned horribly a
ghastly smile." The bloodhounds had
been kept for tho purpose of recapturing
any slave that might escape. As we
were about making our exit our compan
ion Lee called our attention, in an excited
manner to another object, we turned
around and lie was palo and the lantern
trembling in his hand; he pointed under
the table, and there lay the form and
dried frame of another human being- Ex
amining closely it proved to be that of a
once beautiful female. She too was
chained. She had died a horrible death
—starved to death. Her long yellow hair
still clung to the dry skin on her head,
which hung in golden tresses over her
bosom that once heaved with the breath
of life, though now cold; her once ruby
lips were parted so as to disclose a set of
pearly teeth. How came she in a rob
ber's den? she could not have b’en a vic
tim to Cupid’s dart, it so why chain her?
She undoubtedly bad been kidnapped
and held for ransom. But our hearts
grow sick as we write. Several letters
were found of a suspicious character, but
I as they contain tbc names of people in
: Middle Tennesse, we decline to give their
J contents.
j The discovery of the deu has caused
' great excitement in the neighborhood.
Numbers have visited the place, and a
few have ventured in. Mr. W. C. Blair,
on whose land the cave is, refused to have
anything disturbed until the people could
i see it. Ho permitted A. M. Lee to re
move the dragoon pistols, which have
John A. Murrell's initials stamped on
; the barrels. Any person wishing to see
: them can call on him at the post office in
Huntingdon, where be will take great
I pleasure in showing them.

MR. SWEENEY AND THE SPOOK.
The leading topic of conversation yes
terday afternoon in a little coruergrocery
on Na’oma Street was the spook that had
appeared in the bedroom of one of the
oldest inhabitants of that cosy street.
James Sweeney, who had seen the ghost,
was not reticent in his description of the
apparition. "We was not more than an
hour asleep, whin the ould woman woke
me, and tould me there was something in
the room.”
“Faith, thin, a nice job she must have
had waking you, Jim, if you had your
usual allowance of beer," remarked one
of Mr. Sweeney’s neighbors.
‘‘Beer has nothing to do with it,” said
Mr. Sweeney. “I was cowld sober when
I wiot to bed, and ’tis alwayscowld sober
I'd be, Tom Darcy, if I was waiting fbr
you to treat.
This eally turned the laugh on Mr.
Darcy, and he offered no further inter
ruption to Mr. Sweeney's narrative.
"Git up, Jim,” sez she, "there’s some
wan in the room.” The lamp was burn
ing, and, when I looked out, sure enough
I saw a black animal skipping across the
flure. "’Tis only the cat,” sez I. And
faith I knew well that it wasn’t the cat,
or the dog either, for that matter. "Git
up,” sez my wife, "and don’t be a dirty
coward.” "Would you have me git my
death of cowld, driving out the cat?" sez
I. “ ’Tis not the cat," sez she; "'tis the
devil himself (the Lord be good to us); I
kin swear to the horns." “If 'tis the
divil," siz I, "why don’t you pray? that's
what you go to mass for, to learn your
prayers. How could a poor laboring man
like me be expected to drive out the div
il?" You might think by this that I was
joking, but I was thrimbiing like a lase,
and, afther the first glimpse ofthe spirit,
I kept my head undher the blankets, and
so did the ould woman. Then I purtin
ded to go to sleep, but ’twas no use. I
was awfully scared. “You’re a white-liv
ered snipe," sez the ould woman, “if you
won't get up and drive it away. Will you
pass me the holy wither?” “Thry a
prayer first," sez I, “and it that don’t do
any good, I’ll get the holy wether for
you. But where is it?” ‘On the win
dow,” sezshe. “Then ‘twill stay there,"
sez I; .“for if the divil should nip me by
the foot, who’d look out for you and the
child?" With that she got so mad that
she jumped out of bed herself, gave a
scream, and than a sort of laugh. “Be
dad,” sez I to myself under the blankat,
“the divil has got the ould woman at
last;”but I had hardly got the words out
of my mouth, when she pulled the clothes
back, anti slung tho spirit into the bed
with me, shouting, “Ate him. Beelze
bub." "Murther, murther: nnd what
did you do, Jim?” "I fell back stone
dead,” said Mr. Swaeney; “and whin
the ould woman brought me to, 1 lammed
the stuffing out of little Jimmie, for dar
ing to keep his little pot kid in the only
decent room in the house."— Son Fran
cisco Alta California.
THE SHAVE ENDED IN SILENCE.
The barbers were all busy during the
hottest of tne hot days last week in an
uptown shop when a visitor entered. His
cheek bones were high, his mustache was
o’ the color of wet straw, and his hair
was plastered down on his forehead in a
style that stamped him from alar. He
was on dress parade, and fill 'd with pride.
From highly polished boots to his bril
liant blue tie he was resplendent and
new, He swaggered into the shop with
the air ol a conquerer, and the foreman
rested the lather brush in his victim's
ear while ho leaned over confidentially
and whispered:
"That’s Charley; you've heard me
speak of him, bain't you?"
“Well," said the large man in the
chair, "if there is anything under heaven
or on earth that you haven't spoken of
“Yes,” said the foreman hurriedly,
"but this here boy is the dandy masher
of tho universe and is known all over
New York, Why "
“You needn't shave off my moustache." i
"Ah, there, Charley,” catching the I
visitor's eye and smiling with a pleased
expression, “Low are all the dear girls?"
“Well, they’re as expensive as usual,”
answered the visitor, with an affectation
of carelessness. "Gimme a light for my
see-gar, please.”
Four of tho barbers left their chairs
at once to get a match, and four of the
customers sat upright in their chairs and j
looked around with lathered and expres- j
sive faces at the very popular German
with the blue necktie. The expression
on the face ofthe large man, whose ear
had been lathered, was not kindly.
"Charley," said the boss, "what's be
come of that millionaire's daughter in I
Brooklyn that was t unning after you?”
“What, C. 8., the millionaire's daugh
ter on Clinton Avenue?”
“No," said the boss, with a very con
fidential wink. "I was referring to M.
N. F., the sugwr refiner's daughter.”
"Oh, I chucked that over long ago," i
said Charley, strutting up and down with
a face that was adorned by a look of inef- j
fable complacency aed an unusually ag
gressive barber cigar, while the large man
rose np perilously under the razor and
stared bard at him.
“How’s the little actress, Charley,"
ventured the foreman insinuatingly.
“Which, the one at the Bijou?" asked
Charley, turning away from the mirror,
where he had been gazing with undis
guised delight at his puppy like mug.
"Ob, no, I mean the one at Casino.”
"Oh, I got a letter from her last night;
she's a stieker from way back."
Onoe more the large man sat up, and
when he lay down again bis voice rose
plaintively: "Charley, you make me very
weary."
The barbers looked around in surprise, •
and the visitor ceased curling bis mous
tache and turned around.
“In fact, Charley,” continued the rear,
“you are about the worst specimen of a I
smooth-bored, bevel-edged, and cheerful
liar that lever heard.”
Then the large man lay back in his
chair, and the shave was finished in abso
lute silence.— N- /. Sun.
A FUNNY BRIDAL TOUR.
The sight of a blushing bride, in
full bridal costume, sitting in an open
buggy on Baltimore street, met the
eyes of all passers by yesterday after
noon. The bride, who looked old
enough to know better, wore a
wreath of orange blossoms and smilax,
and veil, while her hands were encased
in white kid gloves, and her feet in
white kid shoes. At her bosom she
wore a large bunch cf orange blos
soms. The white contrasted greatly
with her raven black tresses, which
fell in ringlets about her neck. Iler
husband wore a full suit of store
clothes and a straw hat. He had great
difficulty in steering the poor horse,
and the buggy looked as if it would
fall to pieces. The bride and groom
rode up and down Baltimore street,
much to the amusement of the crowds
on the street, and in vain tried to find
a photographer who would take them.
At last they found one near Gay street.
When the groom found the place he
had much trouble in getting the horse
and buggy up to the cuib, and atjlast
had to get out and lift the buggy into
position. Then he lifted his wife out,
and she stood on the pavement in Jail
her bridal glory and finery, the ob
served of all observers, but she did
not mind that, and seemed to care
more for the safe disposal of a band
box and a lace shawl than the crowds
who watched her. The eouple went
into one gallery, but there they could
not be taken large enough, and so they
came down again and went into an
other. The groom put on his white
kid gloves, and they had a perfectly
'‘scrumptious time ’ sitting tor their
picture in bridal costume. Several
plates were used before a good nega
tive was secured, because the groom
insisted upon kissing the bride every
time the photographer’s back was
turned. After the “ordeal’’ the bride
took off her orange blossoms and veil,
and opened the bandbox and got out
a white bonnet and put it on. Then
the couple left. The groom went in
to the middle of the street, and after
taking off the steamboat haws.r that
lied the horse to tho hitching post,
turned him “off” so the wheel would
tiot dirty the bride's white dress, and
the lady, unassi-ted, hopped into the
buggy- He followed her, and soon
the vehicle and its precious load went
down the street and out of the city to
wards Philadelphia — Baltimore Ameri
can.
ENGINES TAKING WATER.
The New York Central engines em
ployed on fast freights are soon to take
water while under motion, the same as
those of die Pennsylvania, instead of'
making stops at ti e tanks. The point
at which this will done is west of Pal
atire bridge. The tanks or troughs
from which this will be done are of
east iron and laid between the rails.
They are about five or six inches
deep, and from six to eight inches in
width. A notch or groove is cut
crosswise the ties midway between
the two rails of the track. The trough
is placed iu this groove, which serves
to hold it in place. The locomotives :
■to be supplied with water from the I
I trough are furnished with a sort of
scoop, connected with the tendor, of
about of the inside of the ■
trough. This is ‘controlled by the
engineer, who, when the trough is
reached, can drop the scoop into it.
The momentum of the train forces the
water into and through the scoop
with great velocity, and tho water,
> striking a valve of the locomotive,
I opens it and flows into the tank. Just
I before the other end of the trough is
■ reached the scoop is raised, and the
| flow of water into the tank being stop
j ped, the valve drops back into its
■ place, and the water above bolds it
I there.— Buffalo Courier.
HOW TENDER-HEARTED!
It was the day before her marriage; she
was seated on the rustic bench iu the back
garden, and tears were stealing down her
I rosy cheeks. A friend approached, and,
after placing a bunch of lovely flowers on
her bosom, said: hy do you weep,
i Ida dear? your future husband is one of |
the most kind-hearted men in the world-” I
"1 know it," she abswered; “but I can't
help feeling sorry for the poor devil. My
| heart is so tender that it ma kes me cry to
I think how I'll boss him round. The poor |
man has no idea what he is going to suf
fer at my bands;" and once more the eyes I
of the kind-bearted girl were filled.

THE PARSON TOOK A HEADER,
A minister in Cleveland rode to church
last Sunday on a bicycle. As he swept
up to the sacred edifice, a large New
foundland dog, belonging to the senior
deacon, came lumbering out to greet the
pastor. The bicycle, under a full head
of steam, struck the dog on the bead, and
run him down with a shock that was very
perceptible to the naked eye' The rev
erend gentleman took a beader, and jam
med Lis silk hat down over bis ears so
tight that he bad to crawl through it to
get out of it. The scattered leaves of a
seven-head sermon flew around the ave
nue like a theological snowstorm. The
dug made Rome howl with his wails, and
attracted a crowd cf 300 people. The
parson’s coat was spit down the back,
and his trousers ripped across the kneos.
He pisned up the knees, and had to wear
a pepper-and-salt sack coat which the
sexton loaned him. When he appeared
io the pulpit iu thia garb the congrega
tion smiled; and when he announced his
text, II Kings, xii , 6: "But it was so *
* • the priest had not repaired the breach
cs—."there wasn’t a dry eye in the bouse.
—Kings County Wheelman.
The other night, after a thunder show
er, Jones dropped in on a neighbor, and
found about a dozen people assembled.
"Well, wel'. you look cheerful after such
a close call," growled Jones as be remov
ed his hat. "What close call?” "Why,
lightning struck the barn in the alley not
100 feet away." "Ob, dear!' said one of
tbc women, "but 1 knew it all the time.
One of my arms has been numb ever
since." "And it affected my foot,” said
ano'her. "Aud it set my heart to palpi
tating.” “And mp' eldow has felt queer
since." Every one in the room re

By and by a boy, who had been thinking
deeply, gushed out: "Why, there’s no

cauH The Evils aud How
Restored.
I n this age of bustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take a high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
ican people are fast, under these influences!
developing into a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quali
fications ; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
adveriised for this wide-spread complaint,
but none of the c have been so successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by Dr. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him Pekun a.
Mr. S S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep
sia for several years; that he was induced
to try Peru.na for his complaints, and
that alter using three bottles of the medi
cine he was greatly relieved. It braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to Peruna, and says it
is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus &Co., Springfield, 0.,
writes ; “ We are having a good sale for
PtKUNA. It sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac
tion.”
Mrs. G. W. Needham. Newtonville,
Clermont County, Ohio, says: “ I have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
•even years, with general debility and
change of life. I was very much reduced.
I have taken four bottles of Peruns, which
I has restored me to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA a safe and
I grand medicine.”
I’e ku-na is sold by all dmagist*.
I Price $1 per bottle, six bottles $5. It
you cannot get it from your druggist, we
will send it on rec-ipt of regular price.
We prefer yon buy it from your druggist,
but if he hasn't it do not be persuaded to
try something else, but order from us at
once as directed
