Ex-Associate Jade William Collins bas ion; enjoyed a reputation among bis friend in the legal profession as a story-teller of no mean ability. On court weeks, when tbe doctor was a member of the court, and not etigsged on Use bench, his society was al ways sought after by members of the bar, and others who enjoyed lirtecing to the good things that came from his store boose of anecdote. Here is one that deserves a wi der circulation than the doctor ia able to give it without the Hexalb's assistance : " Before I removed to Somerset, and long before I aspired to ait as a judicial officer in a court of justice, said the doctor, " I wai engaged in practicing medicine in tbe moan tains above Trsina. in a section known to it's denisens as " Hexeberger.' I numbered all k inds of people among my patients, b it the one of whom I wish to speak waa certainly a ni pnuriM. He was a tall, lean aad lank moaitaineer ; bis hair as reefed as a carta plaat, and bis clothing f-eral degn worse ; be devoted all of bis t.roe to bunting foxes, minks, and such other wild animals as inhabit that section and on which there is a premium paid by the county. He waa tbe possessor of a double-barreled shot -gun, two or three dogs, and a wife. One day I waa sent for to visit tbe man ; I found him writhing in pain on a bench in his shabbily furnished home, bis gun gaug ing on pegs above bis bead, and tbe dogs cro ached at bis feet. Before I bad time to inquire into the cause of bis misery and pain be begged me to write his wilL Think ing that possibly the sufferer was already far out on the dark river, and desiring to ease bis dying moments I agreed, know ing perfectly well that be bad nothing of value to leave behind him. " His wife, a very dirty and disagreeable looking woman, banded me pen and paper, and I began to write . " I , being of sound mind, and in the fear of God, do make this my but will and testament. I do devise and bequeath " Here T paused and said that I waa wait ing for bim to indicate how he desired to dispose of bis property, having first read to bim what I had written. " ' Well, Doc,' said the sufferer, ' I want to leave yoa my gun, providing yoa agree to take care of my wile duriag her natural life.' " I wa somewhat startled and confused at this request, and resolving that I would not accept nnder the will, I wrote it down and requested bim to proceed. "Have yoa got that down? asked the misereable man. " I assured bim that I had. " ' Read it to me, Doc' be said, " I read it to bim very slowly and distinct ly, and then waited for him to indicate what he wished written next. " ' Doc,' gasped the apparently dying man, ' suppose yoa write that down again.' " I proceeded to do so, and when I had finished writing he looked up into my face, and aaid : ' Sow, Doe., read me what you have wrote." 4 1 read it to him, and then to my sur prise, tbe patient sat up, and said : " " Well, Doc, I haven't got much else to leave except the dogs, and d d if I doa't believe I'll keep them myself.' " Ail rigbt," I replied, and wrote down, " the testator reserves the dugs," and then I said : " Now, Mr. , before yoa affix your signature to this instrument, I desire to insert a provision that in case of your re covery you will vote the Republican ticket as long as you live. The patient held his head between bis hands for a few momenta, as if trying to think, ana then, with a mighty etXjrt, he whispered ; ' Agreed, Doc. ; put that down, too.' ' T'nder my skillful t seat men t the patient recovered in tor course of a week and he kept tbe agreement till the day of his death, twenty years afterwards, but It most have been a pretty bard thing for him to do, be cause he was a Fayette county Democrat, and they are as steadfast as tbe hills."

It is now nearly three years since anything of importance bas appeartl from ber pen, bat no one bas believed that the exceptionally brilliant tnthor of "A Brother to Dragons" bad finished her career as a writer. A recent paragraph in tbe dally papers announced the fact that Mrs. Rives Cbanler wa hard at work upon a new novel destined to arouse the entire literary world by its artistic merit and bold originality. There have been many conjectures advanced a to the probable source through which tbe new novel would be given to the public. Notwithstanding tbe high prices which Mrs. Chanter demands for her manuscripts, it v.as known that many publishers were in tbe field in competition for h-r latest work. While many rumors were afloat, the Cotmo polUan jftig-izlui bad quietly secured it and placed it in the hands of a ramoos artist in Paris for illustration. It is announced now that the first charters wi! ar-pesr in the August number of the 0-"fii i, and mat, tn tu estimation of cntica woo are most competent to judge, this last story will be the most finished, as well as interesting, product of this versatile Southern pen.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's Surame Excursion-Route Bock for the season of just from the press, is undoubtedly one of the most el-bo rate reference compendiums issued by any railroad in the world. Tbe company this year has used new illustra tions, printed on a very high grade of paper, while a decided departure from the old cover heretofore binding the work is seen in the new one, which is beautifully illuminated, and would do credit to the brush of a Rossi, so cleverly French is it in every detail.
