FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 24, 1898.
Degenerate Families.
In a paper on "The Causes of Porer
ty," by the late Francis A. Walker, it
the Century, Gen. Walker says; "Tin
true predominant, causes of pauperism,
as of crime, have been strikingly ami
painfully brought out in tracing the
history of a few families. Three eases
will suffice. The reader remembers the
investigation of the Jukes family in
New York s-tato. Mr. Dugd ale estimated
that the members of this family, de
scendants of one worthless woman or
intermarriage rwith her descendants,
have in 75 years cost the state, as crimi
nals and paupers, $1,250,000. The his
tory of a Kentucky family founded in
1790 Ims been traced to include the
character and conduct of a host of its
members by descent or by sexual alli
ance, legitimate or illegitimate. Among
these have been 221 prostitutes. Thiev
ing and beggary have made up the lives
of most of the remainder. Those who
try to do something better for them
selves prove unable to perform hard
labor or to endure severe weather. They
break down early and go easily to the
poorhouse or the hospital. From Ber
lin we have the history of another crimi
nal and pauper family, the descend ants
of two sisters who lived in the last cen
tury. The enumerated posterity num
ber 834. Of these the history of 709 has
been traced with tolerable accuracy.
They embrace 106 illegitimate children.
IG4 prostitutes, 17 pimps, 142 beggars.
64 inmates of poorhouses, and 76 who
have been guilty of serious crimes.
Still other instructive cases are given,
in one of which nearly all the inmates
of a county poorhouse have been found
to be related in blood."
Some of the foremost women of
ITugerstown, Ind., have been engaged
for some weeks in repairing and ren
ovating the local cemetery. For seven
years weeds and briars have been al
lowed to overrun the ground. Re
sponsibility for its neglected condition
was shifted from one to another, the
town council and the lot owners each
trying to saddle upon the other the
burden of improvement. Finally the
women took the matter in hand. Under
their direction the cemetery has been
traisformed into a beautiful place.
The past year they purchased a large
addition, platted it und sold the lots,
and they now have a surplus of money
in the treasury.
A Galveston paper declares that "good
table etiquette is bound to destroy at
least 34 per cent, of the normal enjoy
ment of a meal." If it were in.- Texas
alone that such misguided notions pre
vail it would be bad enough, but else
where, alas! there are too many who
believe that etiquette is something in
uhicli restraint plays the chief part,
whereas as a matter of fact good man
ners are more in accordance with the
laws of nature than, bad manners.
Some weeks ago there was a country
dance in Union township, Madison
county, Ind. One of the guests had the
measles. Others were inoculated with
the contagion, which has spread until
it has become necessary to close the
schools of both Richland and Union
townships.
A Michigan girl eloped om a bicycle
the other day, and a facetious writer re
marks upon the probability of her hav
ing to scorch pancakes'during the com
ing winter. Possibly not. She may take
it Into her head to live on the coast.
One of the. stray shots of some care
less Maine hunters knocked the pipe
from the mouth of a man who was driv
ing with his wife near Biddeford. That
close a miss strengthens the belief that
a person won't die till his time comes.
The shah of Persia has a pipe so high
ly ornamented that it is worth $500,-
000. It. is safe to say that he does not
enjoy smoking it any more than an or
dinary laborer does his penny dudeen.
It is said that one of the single-.but
ton men of Van Bur-en county, Ark.,
when he came to get married, inter
rupted the ceremony to fix his suspen

i The Rescue at Morgantown. I
§ |
£ BY RIPLEY TIPTON. |
1 £ £
THE CROWD in Morgan town at the
opening of the Sevier trial was the
■ largest which had ever assembled in
| North Carolina, or, for that matter, iu
I the entire country south of the Potomac.
The roads were unusually good in the
j summer of 1798, and ior 100 miles around
people had ridden over the hills to hear
what the "hero o-f King's Mountain-,"
j who gloried in having been a rebel and
traitor agaiust England, would say
| when put on trial for his life on the
' charge of rebel Lion and t reason agaiust
North Carolina.
The high court did not open until ten
j o'clock, and long before that hour both
the courthouse and the square around
I it were crowded with men in every vor
! riety of costume from the uuiform of a
! general of North Carolina militia to the
I huskskin shirt of the Watauga back
woodsman.
They talked, laughed, jostled, dis
puted and apologized to each other after
the fashion of a region where you might
jostle a man as much as you pleased
without fata! results, provided you were
sufficiently prompt in expressing regret
for having done it.
The four "groggeries," which were
ample for the needs of the town on ordi
nary court days, vyere swamped with
custom, and nothing but the liberal sup
ply of such "pocket pistols" as our colo
nial ancesters canned with them on
such occasions prevented a deplorable
epidemic of thirst.
As it was, the crowd kept in a good
humor. There had been only one fight
during the morning, and it was all too
brief. A landed proprietor from one
of the tidewater counties had been
promptly knocked clown by a "buck
skin" from what is now the state of
Tennessee for asserting that the whole
country across the mountains was
dominated by outlawed rowdies who
ought to be hanged on general princi
ples.
In the crowd which hurrahed fop this
fight, and for every other which too'k
place during the day, there was "a tall,
lank, uncouth-looking young man, with
long locks of hair hanging over his face
and his back hair done up in an celskin
cue." According to Albert Gallatin, his
mime was Andrew Jackson and he had
stopped to hear the trial, intending to
proceed afterward to Roberts-oa's
colony on the Tennessee side of the
mountains. Gallatin savs "his dress
was singular and his manners those of
a rough backwoodsman." This is un
doubtedly true, but It lias never been
definitely proven that, he was the same
Andrew Jackson who afterward ox
changed shots with Sevier on the road
to Knoxville.
It. is not necessary for the purpose of
this bistor3' to dwell on that point. Tt
is enough to say that he had a keen rye
for horseflesh, and when three stal
wart backwoodsmen rode up with a
led mare whose slim flanks, cleam-cut
limbs and erect head showed her aris
tocratic blood, be was alert at once.
"I want ahorse to ride over the moun
i tains," he said. "Will you sell or trade?"
! "This is not my day for trading!" said
I the tallest of the three backwoodsmen,
: as he dismounted and gave the reins of
i his own horse and of the led mare to a
I young man, who. as if by prearrange
in cut, pushed out of the crowd to take
them.
"I will give you a hundred for heir!"
"I tell you it's not my day for trad
ing," said the backwoodsman in the
hunting shirt, briskly. "Come, gentle
men."
With his companions he pushed
through the crowd to the courthouse
door with the air of a man who had busi
ness there.'To offers of "a hundred and fif
ty," "two hundred," "two hundred and
fifty" for the mare he paid no attention
whatever. The young man in the eel
skin cue, who had followed him half a
dozen steps to make them, returned to
the youth who was holding the mare
and began to question him. At first
uncommunicative to a degree, the
I young man finally relaxed and said,
j half humorously, half fiercely:
J "If 3*ou want to know who those men
i are I can tell 3-011. They are Maj. Jim
! Cozby. Capt. Nat Evans and Capt. Jack
j Gibson. They were over ill this part
• of the country once before when the
| British were licking you people, and
; now they have come back to see you
I hang my daddy. John Sevier."
"Allow me to shake your hand, sir!
I am pleased to meet you. sir, oir any
other relative of Col. Sevier," said the
North Carolinian. "The truth is, sir,
that the gentry, who never were any
thing but half tories nt best, have taken
possession of this commonwealth, and
are trying to run it on royalist rather
than republican principles. In the
courthouse there now. yoivr father—the
friend of Franklin, sir. and the upholder
of the rights of man—is being arraigned
before a judge who wears an imported
London wig and gown warranted to be
of the exact pattern worn on the king's
bench. And the sheriff has just gone
into court with a mace and sword car
ried before him as if lie were the lord
j mayor of London. Republican inetitu
i tlons will go to the devil, sir, if it is not
I stopped, and stopped soon."
! Having delivered himself of this har
angue without seeming to care whether
I it would please the bystanders or not,
1 the tall young man shook hands twice
with young Sevier and turned toward
the court house, followed by a cheer
i from the "tackies." or plebeians, as he
i would have called t hem in the language
! of the volume of Plutarch he carried in
i his saddle bags.
; lie had away of his own in getting
I through n crowd, and a few minutes
I later he was in the court house und in
-1 side the railing, talking in low tones
to two other jounjp men whose conver
saiion showed that they were law stu
dents und fierce republicans like him
self.
I "Silence in the court!" said the high
| sheriff, sternly, and the under sheriff.
I who held the royalistic mace which
i had helped to occasion the "Jacobin
ical" outburst, brought the handle of
it down on his desk in a series of
menacing thumps.
As the noise ceased the judge looked
over his spectacles at the prisoner's
dock. "The defendant has heard the
indictment charging him with high
I treason against the sovereign common
wealth of North Carolina, by the grace
of God free and independent. Let him
stand up before the bar of this court
and plead whether be be guilty or not
guilty."
Sevier rose slowly. He was smooth
ly shaven, and his face, still unwriukled,
gave him the appearance of being ten
! years younger than he really was. He
bad dressed himself carefully in the
full regimentals of a continental colo
nel, and when he rose to plead the
, crowd outside, seeing him through the
j windows and being safe from the anger
; of the bench, gave its verdict in the case
j by a lusty cheer.
! The judge frowned, and the sheriff's
i mace once more pounded the desk. As
i the cheer died away Sevier began:
| "If it please this court—
; But he never finished his sentence.
The taller of the three men who had
: ridden up outside with the led mare
pushed forward before him and bowed
! to the judge.
"My name Is James Cozby, if it
please the court!" he said. "1 am
deputized by the people of the Watauga
settlement to represent the defendant
by challenging the jurisdiction of the.
court to try him. When the court
; wants him again, let it send to Wa
-1 tauga for him!"
In the breathless silence which fol-
I lowed this astonishing* utterance an
! other backwoodsman, almost as stol
wurt as Co/by, grasped Col. Sevier's
arm, and with the third of their party
in frbnt of them they forced their way
j toward the door, pushing the crowd to
the right and left with an energy
which sent more than one man to the
iloor. As they reached the door Maj.
Cozby released Seviei s arm, drew a
pistol from under bin hunting shirt,
and shouting: "Sevier, Sevier, a res
-1 cuel a rescue!" thrust aside the under
sheriffs around the door and made way
for his party through the crowd,
j Fifty yards away across the square
stood young Sevier, holding the horses.
"MY NAME IS JAMES COZBY."
While Judge Spencer was still speeeh
i less with surprise and indignation the
j fugitives were mounting, and before
; the sheriff had made his way to the
door of the courtroom they were clat
tering down the Watauga road, fol
i lowed by one uftcr another of the wild,
high-pitched cheers, learned from the
! Cherokees and famous in after times
as "the rebel yell."
Through the whirlwind of summer
dust which rose around the reckless
riders it could be seen that the "led
mare," on w hose back Sevier had been
forced by his companions, was already
j in the lead by a dozen lengths, and
! that she was gaining a length in every
i 20 she covered. More than one of the
cheering "tackles" recognized her as
; Sevier's thoroughbred "Bonnie Kate,"
I who, when first imported, had come
| near bankrupting the habitues of every
j race track in western North Carolina.
' It was fin Ily three minutes before the
sheriff and his party of a dozen depu
ties had made their way to the "hitch
ing racks" which flanked the sides of
i the square. On reaching them it was
only to find that every bridle was tied
; lo the rack poles in doubled and twisted
hard knots. Swearing and perspiring
with their efforts three of the sheriff's
party did manage to mount and give
I chase before the fugitives were cut of
sight, and the others straggled after
them as soon ns they could cut and
piece out their bridle reins. But the
chase was so hopeless that its failure as
! * spectacle exasperated the crowd into
i yells of derision.
The tall young man with the celskin
| cue had mounted the top of a gate
j which commanded a view of the road
until it disappeared around the hill a
1 mile from the courthouse.
! "They ore half a mile ahead already,
| and It is no race at all," he said. "No
i race at all, gentlemen; no race at nil!
j They will win in a canter. If they
! ever come back over the mountains to
' this courthouse it will be with a thou
sand men behind them. And, by the
eternal, if it is necessary to defend re
i publican principles against the British
aristocracy of North Carolina, I will
b# one of the thousand!"—-Globe-Dem

FOR THE STAMP FIEND.
Last year there was only one pneu
| tnatic postal tube in operation in the
i country—that in Philadelphia. Since
then four more contracts have been ex
ecuted in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, and between Brooklyn and New
York.
Victoria has followed the example of
New South Wales aud issued Jubilee
*tam,ps. The leading collectors advise
that the stamps be boycotted, but it is
useless. The average collector must
have them, no matter what his opinion
is as to merit.
It has been rumored that the portrait
of Seward would be substituted for
Grant on the five-cent stamps, because
| of the great interest taken in Alaska,
of which Seward was the parent. The
rumor is absurd. Seward may be en
titled to honor for his foresight, but it
must come in some other way.
The contract for supplying the gov
ernment with postage stamps will ex
pire July 1, 1808. As a number of the
lower denominations are booked for a
, change in color, it would, not be sur
: prising if an entire new issue should
; make its appearance at that time.
1 There has been increased demand for
the incased postage stamps of the 1801
! issue, which were used during the war,
jin the dearth of small change. Col
lectors should be on their guard, how
ever, ns there is a great chance for
| fraud in these stamps.
ITEMS ABOUT PEOPLE.
| Henry de Windt, the famous globe
; trotter, says: "I have roughed it for
| the last 15 years in Siberia, in Borneo,
and in Chinese Tartury, but I can safely
describe my climb over the Chilkat pass
as the severest physical experience of
j my life."
Bruno Steindel, of South Germany,
; played two of Mendelssohn's most diffi
cult compositions on the piano, before
an audience of musical experts, before
he was five years old. Many expect that
he will become one of the greatest mas
ters of modern times.
Ex-Gov. Northen, of Georgia, says
that he is in favor of four reforms in
the state; first, textile training schools;
i second, any policy which will teach
; scientific farming; third, good roads;
i and fourth, a reformatory prison for the
I detention of youthful criminals.
I Mrs. Ann J. Stiles, who erected Stiles
! hall at a cost of $31,000, for the religious
and social uses of the students of the
University of California, died recently
in Berkeley at tllie age of 84. Mrs. Stiles
was born in Milbrac, Mass. She has
lived in California since 1556.
It has ever been the one dream of
Queen Victoria's life to undertake a
pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and at
one time during the early years of her
widowhood she was on the point of pro
ceeding thitheT with her friend and
spiritual adviser, the late Dean- Stan
ley, as cicerone.
INTERESTING ITEMS.
! It is estimated that there are 400,000,-
' 000 guns in the world.
British postal correspondence with
the United States last year was 41,000,-
t)00 letters, etc., against only 65,000,000
with Europe.
It may not be generally known that
the original idea of the Chinaman's pig
tail was that it formed a convenient
handle by which, one day, he would be
lifted up to paradise. This curious be
lief is still to be found among the na
tives.
The largest bog in Ireland is the bog
of Allen, which staetches across the
center of the island eastof the Shannon
and covers nearly 250,000 acres. Alto
gether there are nearly 3,000,000 acres
of bog in Ireland.—that is to say, about
one-seventh of the total area of the
country is bog.
Perhaps the most remarkable art ex
hibit in the world is that of the lunatics
in the Ville-Evrar asylum in Paris.
Most of the patients in the asylum have
been painters or designers, and the phy
sicians in charge inaugurate a "salon"
of their works. The effect on the minds
of the patients is said to be excellent.
THINGS TO KNOW.
Mix stove blacking with vinegar;
this will make it stick better and also
give a better polish.
To cool a hot dish quickly set it in
j cold water and salt; this will cool it
i far more rapidly than if it were stood in
i cold water only.
j After washing lamp chimneys rub
them with dry salt, which will give a
j brilliant polish to the glass,
j Grease stains on a carpet may be re
| moved in a variety of ways; one of the
simplest is to take a piece of blotting
| paper, lay it under the grease mark, and
a similar piece on the top of the mark.
Then press the part with a hot iron;
this will cause the grease to be ab
sorbed by the blotting paper. Another
i method is to add some borax to warm
J water in which soap has been dJs
| solved and well brush the stained pari
! with this mixture. Ammonia is also
useful; it should be diluted with water
and rubbed on the carpet.
FUN FOR THE TABLE.
At a musieale and supper Mrs. De
forest suggested that the watermelon
might aid the chorus. Scooping it out
would make it holler.
"Pa," asked Johnny, "what grows in
p beer garden?" "The head, my son,"
groaned Mr. Jagvvay, applying some
more pounded ice.
There is only one thing which is scid
j to be worse than being called upon un
, expectedly to make an after-dinner
l speech—that is to prepare an after-din
ner speech and not be asked to de
liver it.
In a Taris cafe, rays a writer. T asked
the maid whet lief she did not think the
name on the menu: "Demi taese cafe
au la it fruppe a la glace," was very in
