THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA., JUNE 17. 1871).
A Merited Disappointment.
' ' " "
TIMS train from Paris to Lyons stop
ped at the station of Jolgny, a town
upon the route, and after leaving a few
passengers again went on. The station,
for a ' moment crowded with railway
porters and lookers on, was soon de
serted by all but two Individuals. One
of them was an old man dressed In the
garb of a well-to-do farmer; the other a
youth about five and twenty, who seem
ed to be waiting for some one to come
out and meet blni. To this person the
old man presently addressed himself.
" May I presume, sir," said he, " to
inquire If you are Clement D ?"
"Yes, my good man," replied the
youth, with a haughtiness of manner ;
"and I have no doubt you are Mr.
Martin."
" At your service, sir," replied the
other.
" Well, Mr. Martin," continued
Clement, in the same tone, "I began
to imagine you Intended to keep me
waiting. That would not have been the
. best manner in which to insinuate your
self into my good graces."
The old man, instead of replying, let
hi9 head fall upon his breast, as if in
deep affliction, and conducted the new
comer toward a large old fashioned car
riage, to which a very rough-looking
horse was harnessed.
"Here Is your carriage, sir," said
Martin. " If you will be good enough
to get in, I will have the honor of con
ducting you to the Hermitage."
" That my carriage, Bir V" cried Clem
ent. " Why, I shall be taken for a
traveling peddler.
But a few days before, Mr. Clement
B., who now put on so many flue airs,
was a simple clerk in a crockery ware
house in Paris, and possessed the repu
tation of being a quiet, unpretending
little fellow. What, then, had brought
ubout this sudden and radical transfor
mation f He had become, since the
previous day, a rich man, and it may be
well understood that the possessor of an
income of twenty thousand francs a
year finds it difficult to retain the
modest demeanor of a poor clerk. On
the previous day, while dusting the
large piles of crockery under his charge,
a letter arrived for him by the post, con
veying to him the startling intelligence
that one of ids uncles, of whom he had
often heard as an eccentric and wealthy
old man, but whom he had never seen,
had just died at his residence in Bur
gundy, leaving his nephew, Clement,
sole heir to his estates, to the exclusion
of many other heirs.
The letter was from a notary in the
province, who desired him to leave Paris
immediately for Joigny, the town near
which this uncle had resided, where he
would be met by Mr. Martin, an old
confidential servant of the deceased, and
conducted from the railroad to the
" Hermitage," the name which the de
ceased had given to the estate.
Almost driven out of his senses by
such an unexpected stroke of fortune,
Clement hastened to obey the notary's
directions, and, on his arrival at Joigny,
joined Martin, as we have seen.
On jolted the queer vehicle in which
our hero had so contemptuously taken
a place, until, after a ride of several
miles, the occupants arrived at their
destination. Martin offered the honors
of the Hermitage to the new proprietor,
called all the servants and Introduced
them to their future master,' and then
conducted the latter to his own apartments.
" This was the sleeplng-Aamber of
your uncle," said Martin, as they en.
tered a large apartment, furnished in
old-fashioned style. "It was in this
room that he had died, ten days ago."
But the nephew, instead of evincing
any emotion upon being shown the
chamer of his benefactor, threw upon
all around him a look of scorn and
cried :
" Upon my word I can't say I think
much of the old boy's taste 1 I never
. saw anytning so very.ugly in all my
life."
" Notwithstanding, sir," replied Mar-
tiu, " it is the best we have here; and,
if you cannot content yourself, I really
don't know where you will find other
lodgings."
" I live here !" exclaimed the young
man. " You do not imagine I am such
a donkey, I hope ! For us young fel
lows, you see, Paris is the only place
so I shall sell this old crazy rookery at
once, and then be off."
"Sell the Hermitage 1" exclaimed
Martin, "your uncle's favorite place of
residence. 'Impossible! And we ser
vants, who hoped to end our days
under this roof, what is to become of
usV"
" Mr. Martin," retorted the young
man, " let me have none of your com.
plaints, I beg. Get me some dinner,
and afterwards you will drive mo to the
notary's."
After having eaten a hearty meal
notwithstanding be found the meats
nslpld and the wines sour, the legatee,
still accompanied by Martin, re-entered
the carriage, and the two started off.
If I am not mistaken," observed
Mr. Clement after an hour's ride, " we
assed this spot this morning ; and that,"
pointing to a building, " Is the railroad
station. Do we take the train there V"
" You alone will do so," reponded his
companion, speaking very gravely,
and in a manner which caused the
young man to tremble in spite of him
self. " I sir, am your uncle, and happi
ly I am not dead I Having heard good
accouuts of your conduct I had resolved
to make you heir of all I possess ; but
before doing so, I wished to ascertain if
you were really deserving of my gener
osity, and I had recourse to stratagem,
which has thoroughly exposed your
true character to me. Good bye, Mr.
Clement; return to your business, and
remember that your arrogance and In
gratitude have lost that which will nev
er again be placed within your reach,"
The old man then gave his foolish
nephew suffi clent to ideinnify him for
the expenses of his trip, took leave of
him at the station, and returned home.
The feelings of the young man may be
Imagined, but, as the yellow-colored
novels say, i they cannot be describ
ed."
This is a true story, and an apt illus
tration of the maxim, " Never hallo un
til you are out of the wood."
Chicago Outlaws.
A .Chicago exchange says: Four
masked burglars made a descent upon a
grocery store on the corner of Archer
and Western avenues, on Friday morn-
ng, and made a haul which paid them
well for fifteen minutes' work. Their
blunder consisted of about $450 in mon
ey. They got, besides this, $j3 worth ot
postage stamps, a silver watch, a revol
ver, and a small locket. The burglary
was evidently planned very carefully
beforehand, the premises had been made
familiar, and the perpetrators were so
well prepared that there was no balk in
the job. John and Matthew Larney
keep a grocery Btore at the place mimed
and sleep in an adjoining room. About
2.30 o,clock in the morning they awoke
to find themselves covered by four cock
ed revolvers.
They endeavored to rise to make re
sistance, but were admonished to lie
still with a belt or two over the head
with a bar of iron. The gang hand
cuffed them together, and, tearing up
the sheet, bound and gagged them and
went through the safe in the most
deliberate manner, taking the things
mentioned, and showing a thorough
acquaintance with the lay of things.
The work done, the gags were taken otF
and the men left. The brothers undid
the bandages with which they were tied,
and hunted up a night watchman, who
broke the chain of the handcuffs with
which they were fastened together.
They then drove to the Deerlng station
and reported the facts, and thence to a
blacksmith shop, where the handcuffs
were removed with a cold chisel. There
is no certain clue to the perpetrators,
who were closely masked.
Another Religious Fanatic
The Wilmington " Every Evening"
has hunted up a parallel to the Pocasset
tragedy. Gillie Hitchens, now living
between Concord and Laurel, in Sussex
county, one day in February, 1857, cut
his child's throat, because " the voice of
the Lord has commanded him to offer
him as a sacrifice, and no voice said,
Stay thy hand.' " Gillie was a farmer,
a blue-ey.ed, sanuy-naired man, wno
read the Bible a great deal. He had at
tended a Methodist protracted meeting
the night before the tragedy. When he
reached home his wife observed that he
was laboring under great excitement.
During the night "the voice of God
commanded that he should kill his
dearly-beloved little son and offer his
blood as a sacrifice." In the morning
he went to the woods and once more
heard the command. Then he prepared
a keen knife to slay his son a babe
eighteen months old. Taking the child
to the woods, he threw himself to the
earth by it. Soon a dog began to sniff
at his feet. Supposing that, like Abra
ham's ram, the dog had been sent to
take the place of the child, he waited
for God to so command. Hearing no
command, he slew the child. He was
tried, but acquitted of murder, and has
since lived an upright life. He has not
since dared to read the Bible.
Effect of Lightning.
V lady in Madrid, Me., wno bad on
her person a valuable gold watch was in
a house last summer when it was struck
by lightning. The watch stopped at
the time, and, although jewelers have re
peatedly examined it aud pronounced it
perfect in every particular, it cannot be
made to move. It is so charged with
electricity that watchmakers say no part
of it could ever be made to do duty if
taken out and put into another set of
works.

The Man with the Pistol.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Nash
ville " American" repeats the fol
lowing story which was told by a Geor
gian who witnessed the scene de
scribed ;
Georgia had a stringent plstol'law.
The penalty is forfeiture of the pistol
and a fine of $50, and, at the discretion
of the court, imprisonment for 30 days.
A short time after this law went Into
effect Judge Lester waB holding court In
one of the mountain counties of Geor
gia, and right in the midst of the trial of
a case, he asked the attorneys to sus
pend a few moments and told the sheriff
to lock the court house door and let no
man pass out without permission from
him. Then, said the judge, in a Arm,
decided way :
"Gentlemen, I saw a pistol on a man
in this room a few minutes ago and I
cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty
as a peace officer to let such a violation
of the law to pass unnoticed. It may
be that it is my duty to go before the
Grand Jury and indict him, but if that
man will walk up to this stand and
lay it and a fine of one dollar down here,
I will let him off this time, otherwise I
will go before, the Grand Jury and tes
tify against him."
The judge paused and an attorney
who was sitting down before the stand,
got up, slipped his hand in his hip pock
et and drew out a neat ivory handed
Smith & Wesson six-shooter and laid $1
down before the Judge.
"That is all right," rema'rked the
judge, " but you are not the man that I
saw with the pistol."
At this another attorney, sitting im
mediately in front of the j udge, got up
and, drawing out a small Colt's revol
ver, laid it and a one dollar bill upon
the stand.
" This is right again," said the old
judge, " but you are not the man I
speak of."
Thereupon a large man just, outside
the bar walked around, ran his arm into
his bosom and, drawing out a huge old
army pistol, laid It and one dollar on the
stand.
" I declare," said the judge, " if this
don't beat all ; you are right, my man,
but you are not the person that I saw
with the pistol."
This process went on until nineteen
pistols and $10 were lying on the judge's
stand. Then there was a pause and it
appeared as if the crowd were pretty
well disarmed ; at least u tnere were
any more pistols in the house their own
ers did not seem disposed to give them
up.
"Gentlemen," resumed the judge,
"here are nineteen persons who have
acted like men in this business, but the
man I saw with the pistol has not come
up yet ; and now," he continued, pulling
out his watch and looking toward the
far side of the court house, " I will give
him one minute to accept my proposi
tion and if he does not do it in that time
I will point him out to the sheriff and

and order him to take him into cus
tody."
Immediately two men from the back
part of the house began to move toward
the judge's stand. Once they stopped
and looked at each other, and then com
ing slowly forward, laid down their pis
tols and their dollars. As they turned
to leave, the judge said :
" This man with the black whiskers
is the only one that I saw with the pis
tol."
Then Judge Lester gave a short lec
ture upon the cowardly, foolish and
wicked habit of carrying concealed
weapons, and assured his audience that
in the future the- law would be strictly
enforced. The court proceeded with its
regular business, and it is needless to
add that in that county the habit of car
rying pistols was broken up.
About Dreams.
A very remarkable circumstance, and
an important point of analogy, is to be
found in the extreme rapidity with
which the mental operations are per
formed, or rather with which the mate
rial changes on which the ideas depend
are excited in hemlsporical gangalia. It
would appear as if a whole series of acts,
that would really occupy a long lapse of
time, pass Ideally through the mind in
one instant. We have in dreams no true
perception of the lapse of time a strange
property of mind I for if such be also
its property when entered into the eter-
nal, disembodied state, time will appear
to us eternity. The relations of space
as well as time are also annihilated, so
that almost while an eternity is com
pressed into a moment, infinite space is
traversed more swiftly than by real
thought. There are numerous illustra
tions of this on record. A general
dreamed that he enlisted as a soldier,
joined his regiment, deserted, was ap
prehended, carried back, tried, con
demned to be shot, and at last led out to
be killed. After the usual preparation, a
gun was fired ; be awoke witn tbe re
port, and found that a noise in the next
tent had at the same moment pro
ducd the dream and awakened him. A
friend of Dr. Abercrombie dreamed he
crossed the Atlantic and spent a for-
night in America. In embarking, on
his return, he fell into the sea,and awak
iug in his fright found that he had not
been in lied ten minutes.
Haunted Me.
Debt, poverty and suffering haunted
me for years, caused by a sick family
and large bills for doctoring, which did
no good. I was completely discouraged
until one year ago, by the advice of my
pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and com
menced their use, and In one month we
were all well, and none of us have been
6ick a day since ; and I want to say to
all poor men, you can keep your families
well a year with Hop Bitters for less
than one doctor's visit will cost. A
