Just previous to the commencnient
of hostilities, it pained a world-wide
notoriety as the fpot where that en- j
thusiast John lirown, and his hand
ful of followers struck the blow that !
led to the four years' war. During
this war it was only known as a

rushes into the former stream, it
jKissesses natural lx-auties of a strik

dently never recovered from the
effects of the war ; its glory has de
parted. The two streets it boasts,
and which form its eastern and
southern boundaries, are lined with
scattered, roofless and dilapidated
houses. Swine revel in shady spots
in its thoroughfares, and its gorgeous
piles of rocks, which tower up like a
Gibraltar alove the town, are em

parently followed by the citizens is

That around which old associa
tion clustered and which was eonsid
ed the most valuable upon the cata
logue (not on this account, however),
was lot 1. Here stood the ruins of
the old armory buildings, and upon
a brick structure about forty feet
long by twenty wide as if to keep
the episode fresh in the minds of thc
iwople was painted in large lettters,
one letter over each of three arched
doors, "John Brown's Fort" Here
it was that on the 16th of Octoler,
1859, after a campaign of nearly a
year w ith an army of a score of men,
John Brown was driven after having
taken possession of a United States
arsenal and defied the government
of the whole country for nearly twenty-four
hours. A short sketch of the
career of this remarkable man is not
out of place just here.
His "fort" may lie destroyed, and
the ruin9 of the arsenal which he so
gallantly defended against such fear
ful odds will, in all probability, in
a short time be razed to the ground,
but the objects and aims for which
he rebelled have been accomplish
ed, and his deeds in 1859 led to
greater results tlian were ever the
subject of his wildest anticipation
John Brown was lorn in Torrington,
Conn., May 19, 1S00 ; he was a di
rect descendant of Peter Brown, who
landed from the Mayflower. Ilia
youth and manhood were spent in
Ohio. He was of strong anti-slavery
opinion, and instilled the same in
to his family of sons and daughters.
In 1S55 he went to Kansas, his sons
having already preceded him. Here
he, with his four boys, took part in
the border warfare which marked
the history of that state at that itc-
riou, ana gained a reputation as a !

mg lliem to co-operate with him, he
called a convention of the Sons of
Freedom iu Canada, in 185.8, where
a provisional constitution embody
ing Brown's opinions was adopted.
In June he hired a farm six miles
from Harper's Ferry, where he
made his headquarters, and to which j

tomary auctioneer's jokes and stories
couldn't bring more bidders. After
waiting about half an hour Judge
Rayner withdrew the lot and ad
journed the sale, so far as lota 1 and
2 were concerned. He stated to
those present that he would return
immediately to Washington, and if,
after a conference with the Secretary
of the Treasury, the projcrty could
be thus sacrificed, he would either
return or telegraph to Mr. Anderson
to complete the sale.
The Coppers Case.
Several times public reference has
been made to the tendency of doc
tors to disagree on important point,
and no doubt they do disagree from
time to time ; but nothing like the
lawyers. Here is one more judg
ment in the case of Dennis Coppers,
whose relatives want to bury him in
Calvary Cemetery, though the custo
dian of the cemetery objects to him
Ijecause he was a r reemason. This
decision settles the case just the oth
er way from that in which it was
settled bv the laet decision. Judge
etbrook decided that Dennis Con
jiers had a right to be buried in his
plot, and the full bench of judges (de
cides that he has not ; and vet it U
one of thc pretty fictions of justice
that every citizen knows the law. It
is held now by the Supreme Court
that the contract with Coppers xs to
be judged on the principles of an or
dinary contract, and that so judged
he never acquired title to the land ;
that he never held it in fee or other
wise than as a jkjw holder hplds his
pew, possessing at the utmost only a
right to its appropriate use. His re
ceipt was not a contract, but implied
a contract, and the nature of that
contract must le gathered from the

A Trribl ErtcpnntPr.
The following is from an intorert-
inn luocrai.hical notice of AWandcr
i ll' -" i"ll,ir, ' 1 ,
York Time: During Mr. Stephens
Congressional service, and pending
thc campaign of 148, he returned
from Washington to Georgia. He
was fresh from the great debates on
the acquisition of California and
New Mexico as United States tern-
tones, ami for having taken, against a qU-u.t and far-away look m
the wishes of a majority of the;, ,.,, ,i..rt eves: "Poor Cone!
Southern members, a most Tronn -
nent bart in omwsition to such ac -
quisition, he was met with much ad
verse cnticism. Judge lone, wno
was at the time one of the leading
politicians of Georgia, was particu
larly severe in his comments upon
Mr." Stephens' action, and was re
ported as having publicly denounced
him as a traitor to the South.
Hardly had Mr. Stephens reached
his home when these and similar
report? were conveyed to him. At
first he did not credit them, but as
one kind friend after another inform
ed him that Cone had called him a
traitor, and advised, in the true
Southern spirit, that he" owed it to
himself to demand what is called
"satisfaction," the fires of pugnacity
in his nature, which were alwavs
smoldering, blazed up, and he de
clared that if Jupge Cone would ad
mit having called him a traitor to
thc South he would slap his face.
Not long after this he met the Judge
at a numerously attended Whig
gathering, and "going up to him
quietly, said :
"Judge Cone, I have been told
that you, for reasons of your own,
have denounced me as a traitor to
the South, and I take this opportuni
ty to ask vou if such rqorts are
true."
"Xo, sir," was Cone's reply, "they
are not true."
"I am very glad to hear you say
so," said Mr. Stephens cordially,
and in the same friendly tone 'con
tinued: "Of course, I "do nit de
sire to le in any way offensive to
you, Judge Cone but in order that
we mav have no further misunder
standing through the misrepresen
tation of others, I think it right to
tell vou that ' I have said I wonld
slap your face if you admitted
having used the language attributed
to vou."
Upon this the Judge again dis
owned haying spoken disrespectful
ly of Mr. Stephens, -and so for the
time the affair ended. It was the
subject of much discussion all oyer
thc State, however, and the general
verdict was that Judge Cone, a very
jKiwerful man by the way, had
shown the white' feather to "Little
Aleck Stephens." In such a com
munity no public man resting under
such ii charge could hope either
for political prcfenncnt or popular
respect Cone, of course, knew this,
and. very much heated and annoyed
by the comments which were being
made upon him, wrote to Mr. Ste
phens demanding an immediate
and public retraction of his threat.
In reply Mr. Stephens wrote that the
threat of flapping the Judge's face
had been contingent upon the tmth
of reports regarding hun which he
(Mr. Cone) had pronounced to le
untrue, and that such, being the
case there could le no cause for of
fense or angry feeling on either side.
Unfortunately this letter was not re
ceived by Judge Cone. Three or
four days after it was written, how
ever, hie met Mr. Stephens on the
piazza of a hotel in Atlanta, and
disregarding thu gentleman's friendly
greeting said, in a very offensive
tone: .
"Mr. Stephens, I demand that you
make an immediate retraction of
your threats regarding me."
Sick and weak though he was
Alex II. Stephens could allow
no one to speak to him in thc fashion
descriled. Judge Cone was a very
giant in nize and mascular devrlojH
ment, yet the frail man whom he
addressed, with aggravating jiolite
ness, and without hesitating a
moment, replied, "Pardon me, air, I
have already written you fully on
that subject ; I must decline to dis
cuss it further."
"Am I to take this as your
answer?" asked Cone, excitedly.'
"It is the only answer I have to
give you," was the calm reply.
"Then I denounce you as a
miserable traitor," cried Cone, mad
with excitement The last words
had hardly left his lips when a light
cane, wielded by the hand of the
man he had insulted, left its red
scar across his cheek.
Willi with pain and passion, with
out uttering a word, he drew a keen
pointed dirk-knife and made one
furious lunge at his weak little ad
versary's heart Instantly as he did
o, however, Stephens, seizing a stout
Ubrdj!a which he held in his left
hand, interpwgd, it as a defense, and
was able for a wwLni to hold him
ai arm s lengin. 1 ne kitli $hort
of its mark. Once more it was
thrust at Stephens, cutting a deep
gash in his left arm, but reaching 1I0
vital point' eighteen times it cut
deep into his breast, arms and body
but still he did not fall. Then he
c&uid Jiold out no longer. No cour
age, no spirit however firm and un
yielding, could U,s withstand such
an attick. Cone was determined to
finish his work. He threw' all hU
great weight ' against the umbrella
which held him away from thc man
he had determined to kill it broke ;
Stephens, half fainting, fell upon his
baV' The giant Cone was at his
throat in'a moment ; his head by a
grip of iron was 114 agaiat the
floor; the keen blood-dripping knife
was held aloft before him ready for
the last fatal thrust, but still the
poor, pale face of the little hero was
set and defiant his black eyes still
flashed undauntedly.
"Retractor 111 cut your cussed
throat!" hissed Cone.
"Cut! IU never retract!" gasjn-d
the almost lifeless Stephens.
Like a flash the knife came down.
With an almost superhuman oirort
the prostrate man caught it in his
right hand. Clean through the
muwlcv, tendons and bones of the
hand it cut, then stuck fast and
touched no vital part With desper
ate strength Cone tried to wrencn it
free. With a grasp, almost of death,
thc horibly mangled and mutilated
hand still held it fast In the strug
gle Stephens was-once more dragged
to his feet : his hold unon the knife

even iViuj he believed the next

men came to Ins Jxsiw. 1 he mad

The Manojfprie In Xew York Central
lrk.
As thc days grow wanner pleasure
seekers flock to Central Park, says
the Tribune, and thc animals attract
much attention. They are generally
in fine condition. Many of them
that were here during the winter
belong to P. T. Bamum, and now
they are "on the road" with him.
But enough remain to make a good
show. William Conklin, -the Park
Director, recently gave the Tribune
reporter the following facts concern
mg some ot tne animais
exhibition:
now on
"Barnuni has left his elephant,
Emperor, here," he said. "I think
he was afraid to take him, since the
animal killed those two men the
last one in Boston in 1S7D.. One of
the keepers was leading him into a
freight car, and as the man got oj
posite the edge of the opening, Em
peror threw his whole weight on him,
crashing the poor fellow into a jelly.
A few years ago we had trouble with
him. He broke loose and ran for
one of the keepers, who, seeing the
danger, seized a red-hot iron that
had l(cen placed on the stove for just
such an emergency and struck him a
blow over the trunk ; this hurt him
so that he easily subdued him. The
older an elephant gets thc more
i trouble he causes. His vicionsncss
increases wun nis age. r.mjK'ror is
twenty-five years old. Some of them
live to be a hundred years old. but
they arc usually killed when about
in their fiftieth" year, for after that
age it is dangerous for a man to go
anywhere near them. Our camel

weeks ago. At times camels are

danger
him. Seeing the man's
I seized a pitchfork that
stood near and plunged it into him.
That saved the man. A few weeks
later 1 had forgotten the occurrence.
One morning one of the keepers
came into my office to tell me that
something ailed the camel's foot.
Without hesitating a moment I went
into the stable, and walking up to
the animal, knelt down to see what
ailed him. All at once it struck me
that I was in a dangerous position,
and I attempted to rise; but before
I could do so the creature seized me
with his teeth in the small of my
back, and lifting me up. shook me
as if I had been a rat. My clothing
gave way and I dropped to the
ground. He then jumped upon me,
breaking my leg. The heavy cloth
ins I had oh undoubtedly saved my
life. .
"The tiger 'continued Mr. Conklin,
jointing to a jHiwerful, fierce looking
animal, has taken a great dislike to

five years ago. We paid a dealer

kept him in camp for some time,

Old Dourlxn.
"Old Bourlon" is a name given to
the whiskey made in ItourlNin coun
ty, Ky., in the times gone by, when
there was but little made elsewhere.
Then every well-to-do farmer con
verted all his surplus grain into
whiskey, which was mashed by
hand and boiled in two little cupper
stills; nice, clean water used, and all
tho grain used selected with the
greatest regard to soundness; con-!
sequently, when ripened bv ai;e, it
was eagerly sought after, and acquir
ed a world-wide reputation, and
ncarlv all whiskies now are brand-
eci jiouriKin.' mere is no
more of that kind made now. Small
houses have all been ruled out Then

iss from the overwhelming
of actual sadness.
These pasture-fields, too, are allowed
to go on producing noxious weeds'for
a seri6s of years, without an effort .to
get rid of them by the surest mode
known to the observant fanner
frequent cultivation Then again
we see the same proiKtrtion of
wcttds in many fields from which the
I cattle hay is to !c cut, and this is
j done year after year, just as though
cows and other cattle would eat the
weeds any more readily dry than
green.
It is as apparent as the sun at
noonday that to whatever extent
weeds are allowed to grow to that
extent is the land wasted ves, worse
than wasted. Now, that this can be
avoided is clear; and tliat it can be
profitably avoided in most cases
scarcely admits of a doubt. And
what is true, ot the pasture nelds is
the same where the herbage is left to
become hay. The good, clean field
is the exception. Not only thc ox
eye daisy, but sorrel and plantain,
and asters of different kinds, which
cattle care no more for when dry
than green, constitute thc bulk of
what is to be hay ; and it is tolerably
good stuff which has but one fourth
of extraneous matter.
We have before suggested that
our agricultural societies, which give
so many and high premiums for
fast trotting horses might at least
share a little for the encouragement
of food which the noble animal is to
eat. Premiums for well grown hay,
clean hay, hay from improved
grasses and well managed hay fields
would surely be objects worthy of
the attention of even a "State Agri
cultural Society," and we think that
it will become so if the press will
unite in commending the subject to
general attention.
Surely there is no greater eyesore
than a field looking as if it might
produce thirty bushels of wheat,'
seventy-five of corn or from two to
three tons of first class hay to the
allowed to be covered with
mU)
i throuirh a rural section, and see these
i myriads of oxeye daisy flowers, will
almost invariably ask why they are
there, and if they cannot be exter
minated and good hay and grain
raised instead. Oenmntown Tele
graph. Juries and Judge.
The following curious facts are
mentioned in a recent lecture by
Chief Justice Ilorton, of Kansas, be
fore the Atchison Institute :
Four hundred years ago, at least,
the present jury system was adopted.
An old tract says the jury of twelve
was adopted because, the prophets
were twelve, there were twelve Jew
ish judges, twelve pillars of tho tem
ple, twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes
pf fairael, twelve stones in Aaron's
breastplate, twelve gates of Jerusa
lem, twelve months of the year, and
twelve signs in the zodiac. In all
times the numlxr twelve has been
regarded as an important number.
In the early ages the oath of twelve
persons was necessary to convict
When juries were first established,
thc judge took the jurors around
with him in a cart until they agreed.
If they didn't agree, they were fined
and imprisoned. William Penn
was onee proaeoutiid, in London, fin
street preaching. The jury was lock;
ed up without meat, drink or fire, to
to find a verdict. They declared
Penn not guilty, and the judge sen
tenced each of them to pay a fine.
Juries arc not now compelled to
agree.
An Ohio judge was a fatalist, and
used to determine perplexing cases
by chance. An Indiana judge once
hail a number of cages to paw upon,
and ho gave decision turn abo,ut for
plaintiff and defendant, declaring
afiertyard that they were tho best
decisions ho ever made, as every one
of them was sustained by the Su
preme Court, flen. Rela M, Hughes
told an anecdote of David R. Atchi
son, who was a Hcnator from Mis
souri and Vice President of the
United States. He was a district
judge in Missouri before he was a
senator, and was noiuing a term oi
court in a frontier county. The
lawyer for thc plaintiff quoted Black-
stone. Ihe opposing counsel, in
reply, said that he was astonished
that his learned brother should
quote from an English law book,
written by an English nobleman, in
an American court of justice a book
written by a man who had kissed
the bloody hand of George III. At
the close of his speech, Judge Atchi
son declared that he was surprised
at such a proceeding in his eolirt.
He gave judgment for the defendant.
and declared that if the attorney for
the plaintiff ever again read in his
hearing a book written by a red coat
ed tory he would fine iim for con
tempt. Afler Years of Dobilily."
