ALLEN, f Kidge Inn, Mount Airy.X. C. W. J. B0YL1N, Editor and Owner. My Grandmother's Story. There lived in Auburn, N. Y., some eix jeare ago, a clergyman, an intimate friend of my crandmother. This gentleman owned an exceed ingly beautiful, fleet, and graceful sorrel mare, which bore the classic name of Diana. She was the ad miration ot the town, and the pride of the clergy man's family. But alas! one dark and stormy eight the barn was boldly entered, and the beauti ful Dana stolen from her stall All efforts to discover the clever thief. tnougn long and persevenngly con tinued were useless. . At last the family sorrowtully abandoned hope; another but inferior horse wa3 pur chased, to which, by the way, the children would not allow the occu pancy of the old stall ol their pet, for that with everything else which had benged to her they insisted upon keeping sacred to her memory. Nearly twenty years had passed, the clergyman's hair had grown white with age, and his children had become young men and women, when he chanced, one autumn, to be called on business to a remote part of the State. Having an easy chaiee, he made the trip, as wasnot uncommon in those days, by pri vate conveyance. He was riding slowly along a winding road, on the third morning of his journey, when his attention wfcs forced from the beauty ot the scenery to the strange behavior of an old horse confined in apasture by the road side. The creature seemed bent on attracting the clergyman's notice; it pranced, snorted, and beat the fence with its forefeet, keeping all the time in line with the slowly moving chaise. . Wondering a little as to the cause of such sipgular conduct, the clergy mandroro along to the end ot the pasture, and then turned from it dowd a road which branched off in the opposite direc tion. As he did so, he was startled by a cry of such human agony from the poor creature in the pasture, that he instantly stopped his horse and looked back. There, at the corner of the feuce she stood, her neck thrust desperately forward, trembling in every muscle of, her body, her eyes fixed upon him with an expression of utter, helpless mis ery, which strangly moved the tender-hearted clergyman. He now discovered that the head and face ot" the animal bore a remarkable re semblance to his lost Dana. I Im pressed by the likeness, he obeyed a 6udden impulse, and drove rap idly back to a farmhouse near the pasture, where he found the farmer just getting up from his twelve o'clock dinner. ! ''Friend," said the clergyman, "is that your horse in the field yonder?"' "1 es the mare s mine. 1 ve had her about twenty years." "Twenty years! May 1 ask wuere yon got her, friend." "I bought her of a pedler, who cheated my wite on a gingham gown, but he didn't cheat me on that horse." ! "Dana as sure as I'm alive! , cried the clergyman, starting excitedly for the pasture, folio a?ed by the as tonished farmer. He entered the field, and the moment the old mare caught sight of him, she rushed wildly ioiward, snorting wun ue light. Old and faded, rough and lame, the clergyman still unmistak able recognized his lost beauty; and oh, the joy of Dana! Tenderly she licked her masters bands and lace, lovingly nestled her head upon his shoulder, and at last with some of her old coquettish ways, took tne rim of his hat daintily between his teeth, and lifted it lrom his head, replaced behind side before, j " Never saw her do that before!" cried the farmer. It was a trick which the clergy man himself, had taught her, and which she had remembered during their twenty years of separation, to practice once more tor ner oeiovea master. The farmer consented to part with Dana for a small sum, and she was welcomed back to her old home amid general rejoicing. There she lived, tenderlv cared for, for several vears, and there she died a painlese death, expending tier last ureatu in a vain attempt to lick her master's hand. Our Dumb Animals.

Fusiou is Surely Dead. The Legislature has been domi nated all along by a few bosses ; the members were like a herd of sheep panic-stricken if ever left to their own resources lor a short while by the absence ot the few leaders. It disgraced itself in its mad efforts to create new offices and fill them with its own mem bers; it often shut off the minority from the right of speech ; it dis honored Lee and Washington and paid homage to a negro with a white wite ; it substituted a negro assistant door-keeper for a white man, and instructed him to oppose free white men in their lawlnl rights. It steeped itself in infamy all along. The two partit'8 to this lecherous political allianco now passed into history as the "fusion Legislature" broke up in an angry row at the end verifying the many early predictions of 6uch a consum mation. No house divided against itself can stand. The two parties to this mes-alliance had no two principles alike. It was simply a convenient arrangement for office grabbing. Fusion is surely dead. The Dem ocratic party in '9G will come to the rescue as it did in '70, when Vance led it to victory,, and although his final words, "Democracy is immor tal," will be the battle-cry that in spires to success.

Tney are so called because it is their singular habit to 'follow the leader in single tile, Indian lashion. The eel hooked by Euripides was of the tandem variety and he was heading the procccsion. When Euripides jerked his line the second eel, true toits name and instinct, darted alter the hooked fish, and, finding it be ing rapidly drawn away from him, seized its tail with his mouth. Eel No. 3, also obeying the 'tandem' instinct, made fast to the tail ot No. 2, and 60 on until Euripides, pull ing them in hand over hand, found that he had an endless, wriggling cable of live eels. He hauled in arid coiled 'em on the bank of the creek until his stteogth gave out. Then he cut the rope and ran for assistance. The neighbors hasten ed to the fcene with their big farm wagons. They loaded the :tandems and found that the total weight was 936 pounds." Philadelphia Record.

Un derwood, of Kentucky, passed through Atlanta to day on his re turn frooi Savannah, on his way to New Orleans. He is in Atlanta tor the purpose of arrangii.g for floral tributes to be sent to Chicago on the occasion of the dedication of the Confederate Monument to be unveiled in Chicago on the 30th of May. The fund for the building of this monument was raised chiefly through the instrumentality of Col. Underwood, a prominent ex-Confederate soldier of Kentucky. Sev eral of his immediate family were in the Federal army, and several years ago Colonel Underwood con ceived the idea of the erection of a monument in Chicago in commemo ration ot the Confederate dead buried in Northern fields. North ern and Southern men joined in contributions and after $12,000 was raised the monument has been com- Eleted. The Federal government as appropriated a battery of guns captured during the war, for the ornamentation of the grounds around the monument and distin guished Federal and Confederate generals will participate in the ex ercises of dedication. A carload of flowers will be sent from Savannah, Atlanta, New Orleans, and other Southern cities will make contribu tions. Col. Underwood is enthusi astic in speaking of the arrange ments for the dedicatory exercises and says that it will be the most notable occasion in commemoration of the fraternization ot the sections that has occurred 6ince the war. j What Fusion Has Done. Increased the taxes on $100 worth of real and personal property from 41 to 45. Established two new criminal courts which will cost tho 6tto $104,000. It paid $3,262.37 to contestants tor seats in the legislature. It appointed a committee to in vestigate the case of Mrs. Pattio D. B. Arrington, who alleges the law yers and judges defrauded her. This will cost the state money. It taxed every keeper of board ing houses 50 cents for every bed, which falls hard on poor widows and women striving to make a lvmg. It appointed three magistrates in every township in the State which mikes ar. army of 3,591, there be ing 1197 townships. It gives every one of the above magistrates $7.50 worth of books which cost the state $20,932.50. It put a tax of $10 on every doc tor in the state, and many doctors who do much charitable practice and are poor, will keenly feel the miserable grasp of fusion. It put a tax on lawyers which will almost exclude poor young men in the 6tato from the right to enter this profession because of the lack of means. Tho legislature of lS93cost $05, 97G.78.

Make Your Own Town. A writer who evidectly knows what he is talking about, gives this wholesome advice which is always good for any kind of a town: "If yon want your town to im prove, improve it. If you want to make your town lively, make it. Don't go to sleep, but wake up and work for it, talk about it and talk favorably. If you have property improve it. Paint your house, clean up your alley and backyard. Make your Borroundings pleasant and you will fel better; your property will be worth more in the market. If you are doing reasonably well, ad vise your friends to come and invest near you. Work steadily for your home dealers. Keep your money t home as much as possible, and it is likely to help you in return. The successful towns have been made by property owners pulling togeth er. Public improvements is an in vestment that pays. Don't waste your time over quarrels, and hold back your aid for good objects through spite, but work for some good and yon will find yourself ben efited." ; Knights of Ihe Maccabees.

While lying on his sick bed a few days ago ho grew reminiscent, and among the stories ot his adventures were tie following: "In 1S73 I built tho First Madi son Square Garden in New York, and opened it with tho Congress of Nations. The costumes cost mo $10, 000, and I used 1,500 people in the chariot race and Roman games. I ran this for four years, when I con ceived the idea of an aquarium, and went to Europe to find out what had been done over there in that direction. On my return I wept into partnership with Heury Reiche, the dealer in foreign ani mals. Reicho and myself put $500,- 000 into the aquarium and tho Co ney Island place, aud brought the first white whale to this country. When the aquarium was opened we gave a grand banquet, which was attended by all tho noted scien tists of the day. Tho menu of that banquet consisted of fish from every body of water on the globe. For that I was elected an honorary member of tho United States Fish Commission. , "The aquarium was one of the greatest successes of the day until the subject of Sunday opening came up, which aroused a bitter fight against us by the clergy of the city. Reiche wanted to open on Sunday and I opposed it, and it was impossible for us to agree, and 1 said to him one day that one of us ought to quit, lie thought so, too, as we couldn't agree, and ho asked how we would settle it, and I said: 'Let's flip up a penny, tho one who wins gets the wholo thing and the one who loses gets out.' I had every cent I had in the world invest ed in tho aquarium, and so had he. It meant poverty to one. He turned a little pale, thought a moment and then t aid all right. I took a cop per cent from my pocket and told him to call it while in the air and the first toss would decide it I tossed it up and he called heads. It fell and spun aiound for a few moments, while we stooped over.it. There was just $000,000 at stake. Thero wasn't a witness present. Finally tho penny began settling. I saw that I had lost. Before it settled I picked it up and told Reiche that ho had won." When the veteran showman died that identical copper waa in the pocket of his trowsers hanging in tho hospital room. Ho had carried it constantly since 1S70J With the exception of Dan Rice, Coup was tho oldest showman in the circus or "tent show" basines?, and had Ecen the longest continuous service. He had many nps and downs, but died a rich man. Eight Lives Saved by a Dog. Some years ago a vessel waa driv en on the beack or Lydd, in Kent, England. The sea was rolling fu riously. Eight poor fellows were crying for help; but a boat could not be got off, through the storm, to their assistance, and they were in constant peril, for any moment the ship was in danger of sinking. At length a gentleman came along tho beach accompanied by a Newfound land dog. He directed the animal's attention to tho vessel, and put a short stick in his mouth. Tho in telligent and courageous dog at onco understood his meaning, sprang into the sea, and found his way through the angry waves toward tho vessel. He could not, however, get close enough to deliver that with which he was charged; but the crew understood what waa meant, and they made last a ropo to anoth er piece of wod.and he immediately seized that which had been thrown to him. and then, with a degree ot strength and determination scarcely credible for he was again and again lost under the waves he dragged it tlirough the surge, and delivered it to his master. A lino of commu nication was thus formed with the vessel, and every man on board waa rescued.

About tho close of tho war a man by the name of John Uobson from tho Eastern part of this State married Phoebe Handy, near De hart, thia county. They went east to Uobeon'a home and staid some time. They finally moved hack to Dchart where they lived together for some time: but owing to some trouble Hobson left his wife and had not been seen in this county for probably twenty years, until last week. An old man called at the house of William Have, who some 15 years ago married Mrs. Ilobson. Mrs. Hays, npon seeing tho 3d gentleman exclaimed, "Great God, there ia John Hobeonl" lie ( Ilob son) called Mr. and Mrs. Hays out and said Mrs. Hays was his lawtul wife. He talked Scripture to them and said they were living in adul tery and that he loved his wife but did not wish to harm thera. He said he would stay in tho county until after court. Just what Jlr.
