Washington have decided to sieze Hav-

That Nugget of Gold.
A few days since, old man, West Goos-
by, an honest farmer, who lives near the
city, while raking around in the mud,
sand and gravel, which Mr. Finn has
recently been taking from the artesian
well, discovered a nugget of gold, or
something that looked very much like a
nugget of gold. He exhibited this find
to Mr. Livingston, at the store of Living
ston & Humphreys, who purchased the
specimen for fifty cents. Col. R. C.
Cannon, our efficient city attorney, pass
ing along soon after, was shown the prize
and told the secret. He offered Mr. Liv
ingston one dollar for the nugget, and
after considerable haggling, the trade
was closed, and the colonel became the
happy owner of the valuable find.
Upon being questioned about it, Mr.
Green stated that the '‘nugget” was a
part of the old brass pump which had be
come fastened in the well and which for
some days he had been drilling out. Col.
Cannon states that he sold the “nugget'*
for sixteen dollars, but this part of the
story lacks confirmation.

- Miss Ella Alphonse*Viney is a neat
yellow girl who belongs to the congre
gation of the Rev. George W. Jones, the
likely looking pastor of the Pilgrim
Baptist Mission church of VTilliamsbnrg,
N. Y. The Rev. Jones is indeed very
likely looking. He dresses in the height
of style and wears a mustache with
waxed ends. Sister Ella Alphonse Viney
is a famous worker in Rev. Jones’ Sun
day school. She is the secretary aud
treasurer of the church and a teacher of
the Bible class besides, aud Brother
Jones says she is “so nice. ”
Mbs Viney’s mother was suspicious of
her beloved’ piaster, do she slyly follow
ed preacher and daughter on a Sunday
school excursion and found Ella Al
phonse sitting close beside Brother
Jones. She ordered the girl to “come
away from there right away.”
“I can’t, rna. Honest, I can’t,” re
plied Ella Alphonse.
Then the Viney woman had Brother
Jones arrested for hypnotizing her
sweet and innocent daughter, Ella Al
phonse.
How Would a Barber’s Polo Dot
The New York aldermen have
adopted a flag of their own with a star
for each member of the board. The
next thing is to find a flag pole from
which to fly it. There is no national,

over which it can legitimately float at
present—Boston Herald.
In a dozen different parrs of che coun
try manufacturers are now engaged in
constructing horseless wagons. The mo
tive power is in some cases electricity,
in others petroleum, naphtha or hot air.
In the race to come off in November the
first prize will be $2,000 and a gold
medal Inventors of any country may
compete for this. The second and third
prizes respectively of $1,500 and $1,000
are also open to all the world for com
petition. The hopes of humanity are
centered cu these inventors in the desire
that they may give us something which
will remove from our streets the horses
which haul the kuce freight wagons.
