THE BUTLER CITIZEN
THE STONE BOOK.
Conies one with searching look,
To read the great Stone Ikok:
With gathered brows perplexed,
lie scans the rugged text.
The krucklrd rock he taps,
And ancient thunders lapse,
With deep imagined thud,
On beaches of the flood.
Old summers bud and bloom.
And sink into a tomb;
He sees them bloom again,
t'pen the hearths of men,
Life went with striding pace,
He hunts upon its trace;
A track —a rib—a tooth—
What birds and beasts uncouth!
Bends one with baffled look,
Above the great Stone Book,
The litle-ptge is dim,
The Finis not for him.
IN OPEN REBELLION.
Young Mrs. May field had been
married scarcely three months, and
already the scarce perceptible shadow
of coming trouble was elaikening her
life's horizon. Or, et least, so peo
ple hinted.
"Of course," said Aunt Amanda,
"she would die rather than com
plain!"
"To us, especially," added Aunt
Laura, ' 'WLen we eppos?d the match
so resolutely,"
'•She would have her own way,"
said Anut Amanda, mcurnfully shak
ing her head.
' There always was a deal of quiet
obstinacy about Hattie," said Aunt
Laura.
"But pel haps it is our duty to so
licit her confidence now?" suggested
Aunt Amanda
"Poor dear! she has no mother of
ber own,"sighed Aunt I.auia, ac
quiesiDgly,
And so the two, gentle-natured
old maids tied on their stone-colored
hats and wrapped their fleecy shawls
about their wrinkled throats, and
trudged over to the Mayfield House,
where the bride was in the kitchen,
preserving quinces, with a big cali
co aprtn tied about her slim neat
waist.
Hattie was delighted to see her
aunts, that was quite a matter of
course. But it took a long time to
make her understand the especial er
race upon which they had come.
"Confide in you!" cried Hattie in
surprise. "But I have nothing to
confide!"
"My dear," said Aunt Amanda,
impressively, "are you truly hap
py?"
"Why, of course I am happy!"
said Hattie, with wide-open eyes.
"Why shouldn't I be happy?"
"Yon have not yet tasted the M
lowness of life, then?" said Aunt
Laura.
"Not in the least," said .Hattie.
"And I can tell you, Aunt Laura,'
I don't mean my life to be hollow!'
"They tell me," hazarded Aunt
Amanda, "that Mr. Mayfield was
very strict and arbitrary with his
first wife."
"Well, be won't be with me!" said
Hattie, a certain light beginning to
scintillate under ber dark eyelashes,
and a troubled color mounting to her
cheek.
"And," funerally added Aunt
Laura, ' reports hayc reached us that
old Colonel Hopkins—the first Mrs,
Ma} field's father —is a great trial!"
"Oh, I don't intend that ho shall be
a trial to me !" said Hattie, ladling
the quinces rapidly into a row of crys
tal cleur jars'
So the two old aunts went ho«ua.
fecliig a little better satisfied about
Hat'-ie and lier happiness.
But a-Li'C the stone-rolored silk
hats had gone bobbing ljown the gar
den path, and disappearing behinJ
the hedge ol privet, young Airs. May
field Aung down tho great silver
spoon.
"llow do they know ih»t J am not
bappj ?" she asked herself. "I bav«
rigidly kept my own counsel—and
yet people look at me with pitying
faces, as it I were a martyr!"
Old Colonel Hopkins v. as reading
the paper when Mrs. Mayfield came,
all dtetttd, into the parlor. He was
a tail, rradayerous old gentleman,
with layers of wtiiie cravat folded
around his skinny throat, and glassy
light-blue eyes- an old gentleman
who always spoke with a feigb, as if
the troublffi [if the world were too
much for hitn,
"Miss Belleville's card!" stie e*-
elaimcd, glancing at a bit of paste
board on the parlor table. "Has she
isalied hfife? And I not to know
it?"
The Colonel pushed his tpeui&utes
up on bis bumpy forehead, and an*
swered, in mournful accents:
"Yes; she called. She asked for
yop."
y&at did you tell her?" Hat
tie asked.
"I said you were engaged!" the
Colonel deliberately answered "Miss
Belleville is a worldly, frivolous
young woman, whose associations
can do nobody any good!"
bit her lip. "I particularly
desired to sec he?," Bbe. "Sbe
was to tell me the date fixed tot fy
fcyrpriße-party to the Rectory."
Coionel Hopkins folded his paper
inside out.
"Yes," said be, still iu the sauto
lugubrious accents, which grated on
Hattie's feelings like a rasping file,
"sbe mentioafd some idle merrymak
ing of the sort. i told Jier y° u
couldn't go!"
"But who gave you authority to
make any such statement?" cried
Hattie, flustiiDg very re.d.
"Harriet," said the Colonei, ''you
forget yourself! You don't seem
to know that you are speaking to
yopr husband's firfet wife's father!"
"I am gaiag to the surprise-party!"
said Hattie, rapidly losing ber tem
per.
"No, you are not," said the Col
onel. "My son-in-law, I am quite
sarp would not sanction such fol
ly!"
ilattie made no verut! rj-joinder,
but she walked out of the room witu
silent diguity which spoke volumes.
"Am I mistress of the bouse?" she
said to herself, "0? is Colonel Hop
kins?"
"Harriet," the old man called after
frer, "is tbat your best gown?"
Hatti# tprned back "No,"said sbe.
"And it isn't my second best gown,
either."
"It's almost too good to wear
around the bouse every day, said
,Colonel Hopkins, scrutinizing tbe
folds of blaoj; silk through his eye
glass. "My Maria pniy qU£ of
a Sunday. I hope you will endeavor
to avoid the pitfall of extravagance
My son-in law's income will hardly
sulßce to keep you iu silk gowns every
day,"
llattic May field scarcely knew
whether to laugb or cry, when she
had safely escuped lrom the presence
of this terribly old Cerberus. Here,
theD, was the secret of her troubles.
Little petty annoyances, such as she
could not relate to the good old aun
ties, nor yet to the nearest neighbors,
but which, nevertheless, stung her
sometimes into absolute madness.
Col. Hopkins was prying and dicta
torial, Maurice May field was despotic
and stern—and Hattie, who bad al
ways bed her own way as much as
any butterfly which soared through
the sunshine, and the chaffiing of
these invisible chains something al
most unendurable.
DicDcr WUB ready when Mr. May
field returned from his office in the
maiu street of the village, and Hattie.
with a rose pinned in her hair, sat at
the table, smiling a sweet welcome.
M r. Mayfield glanced at the board.
'•Poultry, eh?" said he.
' Stuffed duck and olives," said
Hattie. "And a dish of scalloped
( oysters. I hope you'll like them,
Maurice, for I made themself."
"My dear," said Mr. Mayfield,
'•isn't this rather elaborate for a fami
ly of three?"
"Three don't want to be starved
anv more than thirteen," said Hattie.
"My Moiia never bed poultry ex
cept on Sundays." said Col. Hopkins
"Our table nowadays is terribly ex
travagant! Look at those olives!
Aud see the plum tarts! 1 tell you
what, Maurice, there has got to be a
reform, or we stall be in the poor
house."
' Ob, by the bye," said Mrs. May
field, ignoring the remarks of her
husband's lathc-r-in-law, "have you
heard anything about the surprise
party at the Rectory ?"
"Yes," said Mr. Maypeld coldly.
"But I declined to have anything to
do with it."
"Did you?" said Hattie, with rising
color. "I am sorry to hear that, be
cause I am going there."
"J think not, Hattie!"
("I told you 6o,") said the
Colonel, in an audible aside.
"But I am," 6aid Hattie, "The
rector's wife is my nearest friend. I
am the one who proposed the whole
affair, and I intend to go."
"Not with my permission," said
Maurice.
"Without it then," said Hattie.
"Harriet!" said Colonel Hopkins,
sepulchrally "Harriet! recollect
yourself!"
"Maurice," s&id the young wife,
with a quiver in her voice, " may I
not go?"
"No !" said Mayfield, sternly; "I
do not intend that my wife shall be a
village gad-about !"
"I will go!" cried Hattie, excitedly,
"We snail see about that," said
May field.
"My Maria would never have re
belled in this way against her hus
band's authority," croaked Col. Hop
kips. shaking his head slowly to and
fro. " " "
Hattie was resolute. Mr. May
field, in his way, was equally obstin
ate, and, when fehe dressed herself to
go to the surprise party and found the
door loefced on her, she quietly open
ed the window, made ail
ladder of the wisteria vine, and trip
ped away across the meadows.
"There!" said she; "I'll stay in no
houss where J an not the mistress!
We'll see how Maurice and the old
Colonel will get along together—es
pecially since they dismissed the
hired girl because 'My Maria always
did her own house-work!' '
For Ilattie'is spirit was aroused at
last:
"Since Harriet baa chosen to leave
us in this way," said Mr. Mayfield,
sternly, "she may remain away until
Bhe returiiS iu a prPE er °f u "
militv and repentance."
' Very right, very right," said Col.
Hopkins, "my Maria would never
have dreamed of setting martial
authority at ueuan.ee ip this manner."
As for Hattie, she went cheerfully
to yisit her old aunts.
"1 will not go back qntil I can go
back on my own terms," said she.
"Affairs had got to come to a crisis
sooner or later, and perhaps it is just
as well that I eloped on the nigbt of
the surprise party."
The garrison held out brayely for
three days. At the end of that time
Colonel Hopkins fell sick of rheu
matic fever.
"j wish Harriet was here," he
moaned, "M'obouy u&s 3/cr nursed
me so well as Harriet did when 1 had
that carbuncle on my neck."
The intfficient "belp" who had been
installed in the kitchen departed with
most oi the family silver—two of Mr.
May field's college onuma uauie to
visit bim without notice—r.nd Maur
ice knew not which way to turn.
"Go after Harriet," said the poor
old Colonel, who was twisting and
among his pillows.
'•phe wiii not f fear," said
Maurice, despondently, f'ljnWsa
stipulate to let ber do as bhe pleases
for the future."
"Stipulate anything!"groaned Col.
Hopkins. "Tell her I won't meddle
any more! Say you've seeu the folly
of yo M r ysys' Oh, dear! why did
we persist in tormenting iier, J can
see it all now poor child! We were
pp.mpletely in the wrong, you and I.
We'weie a pair of tyrants'"
"I am afraid we were." said Maur
ice. "But, in asking her to return,
we shall be seriously compromising
pyr dignity, shall we not?"
"Diguity bs iiange:}'" said the Col
onel, as a particularly keen paug
searched through his bones, -'Harriet
is the sunshine of the house! We
can t gat 7/ithout her. We
must have her back again."
Mr. Mayfield went to bis wife.
Hattie ran to meet him with a smile
and outstretched hands.
"Jlattie," said he, "we want you
to come home again.'*
"And I want to come," said Hat
tie. "If "
' Ob, ' precipitately interrupted Mr.
Mayfield, "it will be all right. We
!>a; r e made a mistake, the Colonel and
I. * But it suail not happen a^ain."
"You don't think 1 did" wrong,
Maurice?" said Hattie, wistfully.
"No," said Maurice, "I think you
did perieutJy ?iffht."
And this ended Mrs. MayUeld's re
bellion. She had won her freedom
and that was all she wanted.

Pension Points
The annual report of the Commis
sioner of Pensions for 1887, just is
sued, will afford an interesting study
to the curious, outside of its recom
mendation for the betterment of the
service and its details of operations
for the year From the great mass
of figures presented a great many
curious things may be learned con
cerning the way in which Uncle
Sam's bounty is distributed. There
are eighteen pension agencies, and
the sums distributed by these aggre
gated $74,815,485 85. $3,088,278 29
of this having passed through the
bauds of the agent in this city The
total number of pensioners of ail
classes on the rolls June o0."18S7,
was 400,007, a gain ol 40,224 over
the rol for the preceding year. There
were dropped from the pension list
during the year 17.077 persons, by
death, re marriage, legal limitation,
etc., 2,278 of these being men and
women whose claims were based on
service in the war of 1812. At the
Pittsburg Agency2o,62opersons draw
their pensions. The number of
claims for pensions tiled during the
year was 72,465, of which 55,194
were allowed. The smallest number
of claims for pensions allowed in any
year since 1802 was 4, in 1875 and
1878, and the largest number 09,404,
in ISBO. Since 1871 the amount of
pensions growing out of the war of
1812 has been $34,039,991 00.
The proportion of pensioners to the
number of men furnished for the L'n
ion army by each State during the
war of 1812 and the rebellion is in
teresting. Thus, Alabama furnished
2,556 men, and has 975 on the pen
sion list; Arkansas, with 8,289 men
in the army, has 2,557 pensioners;
California,ls,72s men and 3,552 pen

1,G93 pensioners; Connecticut, 55,864
men and 5,519 pensioners; Delaware,
12,284 men and 884 pensioners;
Georgia did not contribute a single

nished to the Union army by all tbe

and the entire number of pensioners

variation t'up nerperjta-e of pen
sions to soldiers furnished among the
several States, one is led to infer that
some troops were more exposed to
dangers of all sorts than others.

BUTLER, l'A., FRIDAY, OCTOBER T, ISbT
The Republican Campaign.
j It is no longer to be doubted that
i the organized liquor element in Pa.
!is this year going into politics with
| a unity of purpose neverbefore under
j taken. Its purpose, if possibla, is to
j defeat the Republican State ticket
and to make a fight on Republican
i local tickets wherever it may be
i thought that anything can be accom
; plished. The State Convention of
i brewers at Harrisburg recently resol
j ved to subscribe a large suai of rnon
j ey for this purpose, and the President
j of the State Liquor League is pledg
led to aid it. There is every proba
j bility that a considerable proportion
of the Democratic campaign fund
will come from this source.
These men do not contribute large
sums of mouey to help one political
party and aid in the defeat of another
without a direct and personal motive.
In this case the motive is undisguised.
If the Republican party can be de
feated this year by the alliance of the
organized liquor men with the Dem
ocrats it will give that combination a
prestige with which they will enter
next year's campaign in the hope of
securing the Legislature then to be
elected. They will then support can
didates pledged to the repeal of the
Sunday liquor laws, the High License
act, and to yote against the submis
sion of the prohibitory amendment to
the Constitution to the decision of
the people. That is the openly de
clared purpose for which large sums
of money will be put into the hands
of the Democrats this year by the
liquor people —save the few who ia-
Vv>r high license —to help in the fight
agaiust the Republican party.
The reliauce of the liquor organi
zations that a Democratic Legislature
would repeal the High License act,
together with the Suaday liquor laws,
and prevent the submission of the
Prohibition amendment, is a safe one.
The attitude of the Democratic party
in last year's campaign was wholly
agreeable to the liquor interest. It
then accepted aid from that interest
to carry on its campaign, and it
sought in every way to harmonize
itself with the desires and interest
of the liquor men. The combination
then more strongly indicated than
ever before has now been made prac
tically complete. The liquor organi
zations look to the Democratic party
for help to repeal those laws to re
strict their traffic which were passed
by a Republican Legislature, and the
battle of the Republican party is
against this alliance, with its control
of national power and its almost un
limited money resources, drawn from
the liquor busineab.
It is. therefore, very evident that
the Republicans must this year fight
a battle against the field, and it is a
battle that is not to be won without
the best effort. With the Demo
cratic party etrqggling rq retain itp

The ordinary slate pencil, says the
Pittsburg Telegraph, used in the
spools is perhaps, the cheapest article
which goes to make up the outfit of a
vouugster attending school.
The soapstone variety, in addition
to being used for writing and cypher
ing, has not infreouently been used
by penaiv-e maideiib as an article ol
diet, aud has also sometimes been
used as a weapon, offensive and de
fensive.
But of t!ie vast army of children
and others who use siate pencils how
many know where and how they are
made? The only manufactory of
slate pencils in the United States is
located in the northwestern part of
the town of Castleton, Rutland coun
ty, Vermont. Ti»e stone as it couiea
from the quarry is first sawed into
blocks from four to seven inches wide,
according to the length desired for
the pencils. These are split quite
easily with a chisel into slaba a little
thicker than the finished pencils;—
aay alb of an inch. These are pass
ed through a planing machine and
over an emery belt to make them flat,
smooth and of a uniform thickness of
about 316 of an inch. Next day

"crocodile," which consists of a pair
of steel plates, in the under one of
which are six rows of curved knives,
each set so as to cut a little deeper
than the one that went before it.
These plow out parallel grooves half
way through the slab, which a man
then turns and lays on a steel plate,
having ridges which just fit these
grooves. This slides back under the
six rows of teeth of a second croco
dile laying in wait alongside, wbjch

RESPONSE OF COL. THOMPSON TO Till
ABOVE TOAST AT THE HE L'NJOti
BANQUET, SEPT. 21, 1887.
To write the history of Penusyl
I vania soldiers in the war would be tc
write the history of the war itself
There was not a weary march tc
: reach the foe, a charge of a brigade,
a battle, scarce a camp-fire shown in
the enemy's front, in which Pennsyl
yania soldiers were not present
From Bull Run to Richmond, in the
swamps beneath the cypress, on Look
out Mountain with Sherman, above
the clouds, on the rivers and the seas,
the sons of Pennsylvania bore au
honorable part. And so nobly fought,
so gloriously died as Pennsylvania
soldiers upou ber soil at Cemetery
Ridge aud Little Round Top. Upou
her crimson bosom, her sons f»ll at
Gettysburg, and there the richest
blood of her children was poured like
water, and there Lee and his army
found their Waterloo, and the Con
federacy its grave, and the Nation
was saved and a race redeemed. Of
our grand army, the bravest and
truest that ever stood beneath the
sun, the Reserves and other Penns
sylvania troops constituted an im
portant part, and upon the soil of the
Keystone State covered themselves
and their State with unfading glory.
To Pennsylvania soldiers, ;their
laurels yet fresh upon them, we do
homage to night, and iu honoring
them, we none the less honor our
selves. They left home, wife, chil
dren, all that bouud them to life, to
endure the toil of weary marches, the
dangers of the battle field, nay more
to bear without a murmer, that cli
max of human agony—the horrors of
Libby, Andersonville and Belle Isle.
Open the volume that records the
triumphs of human bravery in all
ages, that sings in stately verse, the
praises of heroes and demi-gods in all
times, and Gettysburg, Belle Isle,
Fredericksburg and Petersburg, and
a score of other bloody but sacred
spots rise like gleaming stars in the
ray less vault of night. Thermopohe.
Came and Flodden field have lost
their prestige, and our battle fields
have beoome the synonyms of bravery
—the Mecca of the world.
The crimson garlands, gathered on
a hundred battle fields, have been
borne in triumph, with songs and re
joicing, and laid upon the world's a'-
tar, the most precious heritage of un
born millions—they fought in every
battle and died on every field—died
for man, to save that flag of liberty,
nay liberty's self for all coming time.
"As Christ dieJ to raake men better,
They died to make uien free."
As you marched to-day I noted
with pride your martial bearing—that
even, regular, swinging step—the
same that took you to Antietam and
victory, in days gone by. But I
saw, too, the step of age, the bait, the
soars of battlo, the empty sleeve, gray
hairs and the marks of time and suf
fering, and I wept that in a few m ire
years all would be over and you for
gotten. No! Not forgotten. That
flag you saved still floats in the
bright skies and while its starry folds
kiss the brpfZi you will n'»t be for
gotten. You live iu every star and
speak in every 'old, aud in th« hearts
of the people, where-ver a heart throbs
for litie-rtv, you live and speak in the
childreo who will survive. V<>u will
thus live and speak, warn and cheer,
march and conquer, till the Augel
pounds the assembly of the world
That flag will still float, its stars are
there, the emblem of all that dies, the
symbol of all that lives.
Although time and scars of battle
dim your sight and rob you of the
aUengtta of youth, all is not lost, that
indomitable courage that caused you
to smile at danger, that overcame all
opposition on the field, that carried
your standards in triuepphg to aud
iVo,u Appomato* survives. Should
danger again threaten our land, or dis
honor that flag, we would hear the
scarred veterans a3 the rally once
again shout as of old :
"Sound the trumpet—let oi',r bloody solars
.Wfi-
And either victory or a graye.
Glorious men! Immortal heroes!
Men who "count it death to falter not
to die." After tired marches, bloody
battles, after unknown horrors of pris
ons, triumph and victory-.-.- Peace, tk.&
toils or battle are over, the cannon's
dumb, the drum silent, your bloody
flag, folded and laid away to rest.
"Perchance to dream."—to dream
of the battles storm, of the bugle
blast of pharge, shout, yfiotoi-y.
The trophies of flags, won on many

blood, rest also iu peace amid the
honors of those who bore them from
the field of battle—let them rest p,nd

now your friends, and you are theirs.
You honor them for the bravery dis
played in the wickedest war that ever
scourged the world. They honor you
for the brayery yot} displayed iq the
kolipsit in which man ever bled
or died- Your laurels are green and
undying, and yet the brightest leaf in

—the brightest jewel in the crown of

Macadam Roads.
McAdam's plan was to thorough
ly drain the road bed , properly shape
it, sloping it each way from the een
, tre, so as to discharge water, and not
crowning it by a greater thickness of
stone in the middle.
On this bed is placed, oa a dry
day, q pqating or three inches of clean
broken stone. A rooler is then used,
or traffic allowed upon it, until
well packed. If traffic is admitted,
men must be on band to rake in all
ruts as soon as formed. The second
coatiqg qf thrae inches is added at
a wet time, as moisture helps tbu
consolidation. This coating is treat
ed as before, and a third coating is
then added, and finally a fourth, if
necessary.
Tlje stQpo Id to be clean, nothing
being laid on for so-called "building."
Clean, broken stone will oombine by
its own angle into a solid surface.
A heavy roller will help the con
solidation. One made of a hollow
cylinder, with several chambers,
which can be filled with sand, and so
increase its weight as the road be
comes packed, ig most excellent,.
A roatt just completed requires
careful attention for some time, and
all ruts and ridges must bo removed
as 8 3on as formed, until the materials
become thoroughly consolidatad.
Ail the stone used must be small

like McAdam's, were then to put on,

The old local history of Pennsyl
vania, contains the f jiloi-> < anv
dot", which gives us a tie v incident
iu Washington's !iie :
During the "whiskey insurrection"
in Western Pennsylvania in 17D2,
the leader, Bradford acquired a pow
erful influence over a wealthy fanner,
named Mitchel, and drew him deeply
into the cjnspiracy. Mi'che! wa-> a
young, enthusiastic man, with a
beautiful home, a wife and one child.
The conspirators believed that in
formation ot their plans had been
sent from the little village of Wash
ington, in Pennsylvania, to the Pres
ident. Bradford persuaded Micchel
that the letters containing this infor
mation was in the mails, and must
be seized as an act of military neces
sity.
Robbery of the mails was then an
offense punishable with death, but
Mitchel, convinced that he was risk
ing his life to serve his country, join
ed by two other men, stopped the
wagon on a lonely road between
Washington and Pittsburgh, and
carried the mail bag to Bradford's
house. It was opened, the dama
ging lettters taken out, and the rest
were returned to p m-oftL-j at
Pittsburgh.
W r hen the insurrection was qu-li
ed, all the leaders; escapad excepting
Johu Mitchel, who rode into camp,
and finding General Morgan, gave
himself up
''l have been a fool." be said. "I
see ihat plaiuiy. lam readv to bear
the punishment of my folly."
General Morgan, who knew that
ho had been deceived bv Bradford,
was annoyed that he had not made
his escape with him. He believed Mit
ehel to be at heart an honest man,
and, with the rest of the county lik
ed liiid respected him ; but knowing
that if he was brought to trial, the
punishment would be death, he de
termined to give him a chance to es
cape
"You cannot be tried here," he
said. "I will give you a pass to
Philadelphia. Report yourself there.'
"I am to have a guard ?"
"No, none."
The General turned on his heel
and walked away. lie intended
and expected Mitchei to fly as soon
as he had reached the wilderness, but
the the yonng farmer's honor was a
stricter guard than soldiers would
have been, and drove him unflinch
ing to his death.
He bade farewell to his wife and
child, and started alone on horseback,
to Philadelphia It was a three
week's journey, at any part of
he which could havo tseaped. He
reported as aprisoner, was tried, con
victed, and sentenced to be hanged
When the news reached General
Morgan, he sent a special messenger
to the President, with an account of
the facts in the case. Washington it
was said, was deeply touched, and
at once sent a full pardon to Mitchei,
with a messa<re to return to his wife
and child, and to keep clear of conspi
rators fop the rest of his life.
The Latest Departure.
The little city of Parker was start
led from center to circumference on
Thursday last when it became known
that W S, Gephart had left for parts
unknown to prevent being re arrested
for embezzlement. Inquiries were
made and it proved too true ; he bad
quietly left his wife aud five little lit
tle children and hied himself from
the clutches of the officers.
Mr. Gepbart was arrested several
mouths ago at the instance of Mes
srs. Leonard and Graham, adminis
trators of the late John Laonard es
tate. The friends of Mr. Gepbart
were assured by him that he was in
nocent of wrong and could show a
clear record. It apppcars that some
years back James Leonard placed in
the haads of Mr. W, S. Gephart certi
ficates representing about 8,000 bar
rels of oil and when it was called for,
to settle up the estate, only 3.000
barrels were obtainable which were
delivered. The balance wa3 promis
ed from tiiao to time, but not being
forthcoming he was arrested on a
charge of embezzlement and held to
bail for his appearance at Court.
The case was postponed to the Sep
tember term. During the interim
Mr. Gephart attended to his duties
fegilarly and his friends believed
him innocent of all guilt. At the
trial his attorneys perceived that the
indictment was faulty, the time not
being stated when the accused had
embezzled the said funds, and asked
on that ground a discontinuance of
the case which was granted, thereby
releasing Gephart and also his bonds
men. The parties returned to this
city Friday, S.eptoui'oer 9, and the
following day Gephart left for Rrook
ville, since which time he has not re
turned, thereby preventing the ofti
cers serving now papers and rear
resting him.
Mr. Gephart resided in this city
for about eleven years, during which
time he has been engaged as clerk for
the pipe-line, and of lata with the
Keystone Natural Gas Co., He has
held several important offices, for
years acted as Treasurer for the City
and School, also for several secret so
cieties, and his accounts were accury
ately kept and the funds promptlv
paid over to his successors. He liv
ed within his means and his accounts
with home merchants wore promptly
lie attended to the duties of
ihe ohqrch and Sunday to which he
seemed particularly attached, and to
whatever position he was appointed
gave universal satisfaction as an effi
cient officer. But this last act of
which he is accused and his
escape from the town for
of being re-arrested
darkens a heretofore spotless record.
No doubt he is alone to blame in the
matter, but being a man of very few
words and one who seemed to have
no confidants nothing could he learn
ed, further thau ftia avowed state
ment that he oould prove himself in

Joe Grimaldi, The Clown.
j It was well kaown that Grimaldi.
the celebrated clown, was in the hab
it of receiving his salary every Sat
urday night from the Sadler's-Wella
threatre, and driving home with it ia
a to Finchley, about midnight.
One night he saw, as he rode
al.ing. -i:ting on a mile stone, on the
L<ondon side of the Finchley side of
the turnpike, an old woman' with a
basket. She seemed to be so fatigued
that Grimaldi pulled up and said:
"What's the matter, mother?"
"Oh !', said the old woman, in a
feeble voice, "I am ill, and I am
afraid I cannot walk to Finchley."
' Jump ia," said the good-natured
Joe.
c Actors have sharp eyes, and it
struck Grimaldi that the manner in
which she got into the gig was not
i the way in which a woman does that
t j "kind of thing."
- j When she was in she put the bas
ket which had a cover to it, down at
j | her feet. Grimaldi having his sua
picions aroused, resolved to draw her
1 out in conversation. "Hello!"
i , thought Grimaldi, "I am doomed to
| bn robbed, and perhaps murdered;
; this it a pretty go. I cannot attack
i this man or woman on mere suspic
ion, while he can choose his own
time to overpower me." In this un
• comfortable state he drove for a few
, miuutes, when an expedient pre
; .-ented itself, which he resolved to
put in practice. In appearing to
whip his his horse he flourished his
■ whip over his head, and managed to
kuock his hat off. Pulling up his
horse, be cried :
"Mother, lam sorry to troable an
old lady, but my horse is restive and
I dare not trust the reins out of my
own bauds. Just get out, and pick
up my hat for me."
The woman, after some little hesi
tation, complied, but the very min
ute she had got out Grimaldi whip
ped his horse, and flashed off at full
speed. A volley of oaths in a most
unmistakable manly voice, convinced
Grimaldi that his conjectures were
right, and that he Lad just had a
very narrow escape.
Upon examining the basket, a pair
of pistols, ready loaded and primed,
was found.
Grimaldi thus exchanged his hat
for the pistols.
A Circular That Recalls the

A Dangerous Gun.
Lieut. Zalinski of our Navy, has
invented a dynamite gun whieh pro
misps to revolutionize coast defenses.
It was tried the other day at New
York with much satisfaction. The
gun used by Lieut. Zalinski was a
comparatively small one, and yet
two shells at long range were suffi
cient to knock an old vessel to pieees
at a distance of one and a half miles.
A more powerful gun with dynamite
shells containing 600 instead of 100
pounds of explosive compound would
have imperilled the mightiest of the
turret-ships of the English Navy;
and no engineer can yet conjecture
the limit which is set to the size and
destructiveness of projectiles of this
class.
