" Editor News—Please allow me
a short space in your valued col
umrs, to sét at naughi sente
speculative talk relative to: my
position concerning county coni
missioners. .. ; ;
' T have been informed thdt some,
who oppose the establishment of
gounty commissioners, say that
we who favor the {‘establishment
ol the same, are doing o 0 for the
sole purpose of;gpifiking a fight on
the Ordinary, and that the fight
is agitated by John Boon and my
self. I wish to'say that I have
heard of na one who John' Boene
bas undertook to change' his o
pinion, and as for myself,interro
gate the nuinerojs citizedts who
call at my ‘office daily and you
will not find & dozen with whom
I have discussed ¢ounty commis
sioners. - ‘
‘ We have not made a campaign
for the establishiient of a board
of county commissieners, but
have rested the matter with the
recommendation of our Grand
Jury and our able representative
‘who favors their establishment.
We who favor .county commis—|
sioners, have pure motives,® and
are justly entitle Yo our epinions.
Again, if is said that John
Boone and 'Arthur Herrington
was the '‘Tax payer” replying to
/'Citizen” in" their controversy
about commissioners. . I deny
this for (pardon ‘'me for being
egotistic) either of us could make
it interes%:xng for ‘‘Citizen.”
However “Tax payer” gave him
a good dose. But let usnot for
et reason and remember that
each of ug is a part of what it
takes to make a govefient for
Jeff Davig county and that we
will move'along if we get com
missioners or if we don’t get
them. Arthur J; Herripgton.
Among the many cepies of the
‘Bpecial edition we have sent out,
one of them fellin to the hands of
& farmer in North Carolina. This
farmer js anxious to come to Jeff
Davis county to lige, for he says
in a letter that he wrote to a rel
ative Rere; that'he was “tired
turning over those old ; rocks up
there, %ryipg to make 3 living by
farming,” ai;ld he wants to make
achange. 'He wantsa one or
two horse farm in this county,
aund he wants tolive op it one
year and cyltivate the land, with
' the privilege vs buying it attheend
of the year.. Now, to %hose who
have a farm of this size to séll,we
gould advise them to confer witly

The Labkey Whé Changed Places With
+ i Hie Former Mastér,
Bome’ years ago & remarkable occur
rence transpired at Nice, which 1s very
pear 'to Monte’ Carlo. A notorious
babitue: of the cdsino, who had made
bis money principally there, had set
up an English vehiclo, a pair'of horses,
“tiger” aud all,’gnd cut quite a swell
driving in the neighborbood, says Il
lustrazione, Oune ddy¥®he was riding
i{n-the eunvirons of the'town when his
servant, sitting upon ‘the ralsed box
behind, who had been feeling some
what uneasy at not recelving his
wages for some time, seelng his master
quite alone, ventured' to ask him
throdgh the back winddw if he ‘Would
pbt make it convenient to pay him.
The master was in a good 'humor and
aaked: . P, &
‘*How much ¢ it, La Fleur?'
*One hundred and twenty-five lt&ree,
fi*y it please you, monsieur.” .
“Very well; here it 10,"“ sald the
master, spreading the sum in paper
currency upon the seat of the vehicle.
“Now, La Ileur, have you & pack"'ot
cards with you?”’ _ :
~ mcertainly,” answered the obsequious
lackey. “I always carry them, mon
- gleur,” producing the cards at once. ~ ¢
| . “That 1s well: Now; I will be bauk;,
‘ér, and you shall play against me. ‘1
will take the front scat, the back one
shall serve for our table, and you can
look through this back window™
"The lackey assented to this, amused
at his master's condescensiotf. Luck
was rather on the master’s side, but
both- men became quite eager in, the
game, thinking of that, and that only.
Little by lttle the footman’s mongy
went until all that was left of his
wages was § livres. He began to feel
anxious, when suddenly his luck
turned, and he won the whole sum
back, with every sou his master had
about him. N 4
~ Piqued at his loss, tlhe master wa
gered a horse, which the lackey won;
then its mate, next the barness and
lastly, the carrisge itself. Luck ran
al¥one way, and the servant, La I'leur.
won everything. The master took out
his watch and put it do%m against a
given sum. The cards were shuffled,
and the lackey won. : |
“f have nothing more, La Fleur. You
have cleaned me out,” sald the halt{
desperate gambler. . 5
The servant was in high spirits‘at
his strange run of luck. | ‘
, “Here are a hundréd livres, monsieur.”
I will stake them against your posi-
Hon. If you win ihey are yours. If.J
you lose we changé seats.” . 4
. “Agreed!” . : i - |
‘The cards .were shufiled. La Fleur
won, and the.vehicle returned to Nice}
with its former master occupying the
servant’s box behind and-La Fjeur sit

.In the little yillage of:St. Paul. near
Penzance, there is a mgnument erectedl
to the memory of Doll, or Dolly, Pent-l
reath, who attained the age of 102‘
and was the fast woman who ispoke
the Cornish tongue. This 1s the in
seription: “Here liethsinterred Dprothy
Pentreath, who died in 1777, caid to
have been the last.person who con
versed in the ancient Cornish, the pe
culiar language of this country from
the earliest times till it expired in
the eighteenth century in this parish
of St. Paul. This stone is erected by
the Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, in;
union with the Rev. John Garnett,
vicar of St. Paul, June, 1860." .‘Hoiwr{

* When thé great French chemist Che
vreul attained his liindredth birthday
he was entertained 4t a public dinner,
at which his son, a high official in the:
department of justice, sixty-seven years
old, was also present. The old man
mede a speech and in telling dn anec
dote made a slight slip, which his son
corrected. 01d Chevreul turned around
quickly and satd in & sharp tone,
“Hush, youngster, when I am talking.’”
‘And the “youngster” held his tongue.
i An Cdd Perquisite.
One of tlie most curious perquisites
in connection with English corona
tions is tle right of one of the peers
to claim the bed and bedding used by
the heir apparent on“the night preced
ing the coronation. In olden times
this ‘was 1 perquisité of considerable
value, as the “bedding” :usually com
sisted-of riehly embroidered coverlids
of velvet or silk, with priceless hang
ings of clcth of silver and: gold. s
