She € nitre mm • i BKLLEPONTE, PA. A Race For a Kiss- I low a Nevada H'MIM.I (\ Tt'd Her Unban! qf Tippling. From tho Virginia City Euti-rjiriar. A butter peddler from Honey bake relates, with great glee, how a neighbor of his was cured of too frequent tipping the gin bottle. This neighbor married a young, liaudsomo and spirited lady, and for a month or two all went well in the house and about tho farm ; then the husband fell back into his old tricks. The wife remonstrated, and, for a time, the husband reformed. IVesontly, how ever, she becamo satisfied that tho "hot tie-tipping" was again going on. When sho spoke to her husband about tho matter he swore that tho "arotna" she detected was that of :w colic medi cine lie was taking, ho having develop ed a most intractable colic, lor tl.e re lief of which he hud brought homo and paraded a bottle of medicine. The wife was confident that there was kept somewhere about the promises a considerable store of a very dillerent kind of medicine. She kept her own couusel, and, at the same time, strict watch. In a day or two sho discovered unler a manger in the bam tho secret hoard. She said nothing of tho discov ery to ber husband. Soon after the husband had business at a neighbor's some two miles away. l>n his return he was somewhat surpris ed at seeing a note pinned upon his front door. He hastily advanced and read as follows: . RES: You will find the key of the house where you keep your colic medi cine. I have taken Kitty pnd goue home to my mother. Father and brother Bob will come to-morrow for the trunk in which 1 have packed my things. NELLIE. The husband rushed to the barn. At a glance he saw that Kitty, his wife's mare and the side saddle were gone. Harting to the manger he hauled out his corpulent demijohn of gin, and sus pended from its neck fouud the key of the house. Securing the key, he sent the demi john whizzing and crashing against the post of the barn. Rounding forth, he ran to and mounted the horse he had left standing in front of the house. Away he dashed. It was ten miles to the house of his father-in-law, and he was determined to overtake his wife be fore she could reach it or kill a horse in the attempt. Said the bnHerman : "Now I seed Ren's wi(p come over the bill, half a inile south of my house, on her little mare Kitty, and begin to perform some queer abolution*. After she'd got over the brow o' the hill she paced up and down the road for a time ; then she rid up and looked over the ridge for a while. After lookn' a bit she turned about and rid up and down the road a few times ; then went up to the brow o' the hill again. So she kept doin', and once or twice she got otl' and led Kitty up to the top of the hill. "I was puzzled as wheth ß r she was waitin' for somebody or had lost some thing while on her way to her father's place some four miles beyond my house. I was just about to walk out that way when I seed her wheel Kitty round < from the brow o' the hill and began to , ply her whip. "In half a minute she was flyin' past my place like a wild woman. I stood at i my front gate by the roadside, ready to ; holler out at her to know what was up, but, bless you,she never looked towards me. Her eyes seemed sot in her head, her face was pale and at every jump ■he let into Kitty with a whip. I swar. her ridin' skirt fairly cracked as she bounded peat. .fiat then I heard a tremendous ciat ter behind me, Turnin'about, I seed Ben acomin'over the pitch of the hill on hig big black hogs, like a wild Coman che. He was ridin' with loose reina, leanin' away for'ard and diggin' his big spurs into his horse like he'd rip his in ■ides out. "He paased by, with hair and coat tails saliiin'back in the wind,and never turning his head to right nor left. I thought I seed murdar in his eye. I tell you, a million thoughts went through my brain in a second. All sto ries I'd eve( heard about jealous hus bands went through my head in a lump, and I do believe if I'd my gun in my hand I'd have taken a wing shot at him on suspicion. I seed Nell look hack once and then lay the whip on Kitty hotter'n ever. Ben was goin'like the wind. 1 know ed Nell was headed for her father's and I seed plain as day that Ren would gat her 'fore she was safe landed. "At last he was upon her. It was then Deck and neck for a time, with Ben reaching out for Kitty's bridle. At last he got it, and the two horses gradu ally slowed up until they finally stopped. I mounted my gate post all of a tremble, i expectin' to see something' dreadful < happen. t "They atoppcU in theroa, and Playtri—• I ■ < Itv'tJ ' I hu 7' Zi'./yi. >i !.

Ho would come in, ait there for an hour and chat, and very often go through the stage entrance into lm box, ait there quietly and unobserved, aeo the perfor mance, and then go back home. He always expressed himself a* delighted to get away from business ami take an hour of recreation at the theatre. The characteiistics of the man were so noble so simple and grand! He teemed to enjoy, when ho came to the theatre, his freedont from business and cares of state. I remember,'" lie ran on, "one night we were playing 'Pocahontas,' a burlesque, with Mrs. John Wood. In those days, when they caught a pick pocket in the street* here the soldiers would placard him, 'This is a pickpock et and send him around the streets to the tune of the 'Rogue's March,' so the people would know him, and we were hurle-qumg that on the stage. Little Tad Lincoln, the son of the president - he is now dead, poor boy ! a jolly little fellow, every body liked him -came down very often with his father, and he was there that night. He was hang ing around the stage, and for the fun of the thing 1 put him tit a rgged dress and set him on the stage in the mob in one of the Irenes. Mr. Lincoln, who was m his box, saw the boy. Well, be laughed heartily and long, threw his hands up in the air, snd let one of them drop over the side of the box. The audience saw the hand and recognized it. There was no hand in the world like Mr. Lincoln'#— no long and bony. I hey recognized it and shouted for him. He had to come to the front of the t>x and bow. When Tad went into the Imi Mr. Lincoln threw hi# arms around him and the scene between the father and the boy was most delightful. The pleasure, the afTectwn of thb father was so intense, so spontaneous, and it was glorious to see him. Why, at that time if any body had wanted to seize Mr. Lincoln they could hare done it reeeon there three months, and traveled over every part of the line of tho proposed canal. f the 7,000 men employed, only -•) are in the hospital of the company. '•( these, only fifteen per cent, were seriously ill." "Work will be carried on from loth sides of the isthmus, will it not ? ' "Yea, in a week or so the Franco- American I'redging Company will have dredges at work in I'anama. Though excavating and dredging i„ now going on with all po.sible rapidity, it will be a year before the work will begin to lo >k like a canal."

"You'll find it a hard ea#e —a hard cane, my friend," replied the Judge with a solemn wink.
