A genllemnn from Allen County, who chanced to be In tbe city yesterday, tells a story of a . romantic runaway match which la now being extensively canvasped In that part of the Btate. ScotUville, a pretty village situated In tbe county mentioned, about fifteen miles from the Tennessee line, Is the home of souieof the moBt aristocratic peo ple in Kentucky. It Is a place noted for pretty girls and gnlltint youug men, and among all these the sweetest belle was MlssOllle Brown, and the handsomest beau Mr. Joseph Carpenter. They loved each other unto desperation. Theirs was the sort of love that always leads to marrlitge,and months ago they dctermln ed to link their destinies. In this case as in many others,the only obstacle was parental objection. Miss Brown's moth er positively declared that she was not old enough to get married, being only fourteen, and her sweetheart's entreaties were in vain. The young people made one or two Ineffectual attempts at elope ment, but they were never once balked in their determination to carry out the scheme In the sweet by and by. On hiBt Thursday young Mr. Carpenter drove In a.buggy to the residence of his sweetheart, and once more besought her mother to consent to an early wedding. Mrs. Brown was Inexorable, Miss Brown was tearful, and Mr. Carpenter excited. At last, when every prayer had been denied, the young man boldly put the question to bis sweetheart: " Will you go with me, or mind your mother and remain at home V" The girl looked up through her tears, first at her mother and then at her lover. " I'll go with you," she said at length. "Then come;" and with these words young Carpenter caught his lady love in his arms, aud, hurrying out of the house, leaped Into the buggy that was standing in front of the door. The horse received a smart blow w ith the whip and jumped away on a dead run. As soon as Mrs. Brown realized the situation she scream, ed for assistance at the top of her voice. In a few moments the little town was wild with excitement, but the volume of sympathy seemed to be with the young people, who had just whirled through the streets at a terriflo rate of speed, tak ing the road that led to Clallatiu, Tenn. The mother whose daughter had been stolen, wildly besought somebody to go in pursuit of the fugtti ves,and if possible, stop the wedding. At length Mr. Man ion, a young lawyer,and the Judge of the Police Court, consented. In a few mo ments he was mounted upon a horse of speed and bottom, rattling out of the town in the direction taken by the buggy at a pace that" would have captured the "gentleman's cup" at any fair In the State. From tbe very start it was a race of whip and spur. The fugitives were evidently making for 'Bqulre Fike's office, which Is just across the Tennessee line, and Judge Manion was hot on their trail. It was a chaBe long to be remembered by the people who witnessed it. In front a horsa flecked with foam, going at top speed, and draw ing a light buggy, in which a youth sat, with resolution upon his face, and a beautiful girl nestled trustingly by his side. Perhaps a mile in the rear a soli tary horseman, applying whip and spur, thundered along over the level turnpike. The buggy had the best of the race, and pulled up in front of 'Squire Fike's office fifteen minutes in the lead of the man on horseback. The clever 'Squire promptly adjusted his spectacles and read the mar riage license. It was all right, and the ceremony would be performed, so the 'Squire said, and he was on the point of pronouncing the words so feverishly awaited by the young people, when Judge Manion, riding like a professional jockey, bore down upon the party and signalled the officer of the law to stop. "I object to this wedding," he said, flinging himself off his panting horse. "Upon what grounds 5"' asked the 'Squre. " It is the wish of the lady's mother that she bhall not marry. I have come at her bidding." "You'll have to show something in writing," said the 'Squire bluntly. Judge Manion promptly tookhls seat at a table and dashed off an affidavit recit ing the facta. 'Squire Fikes read it, and, much to the discomfiture of the run aways refused to proceed with the cere mony. The young people pleaded, but all to no purpose. At length Mr. Car penter said in very simple language : " We will go further. Get in the buggy, my dear. ' Judge Marlon you may prepare for another race. We are olTfor Gallatin." The youug man meaut exactly what he said, and In a few minutes the race was renewed. The distance to Gallatin was eighteen miles, but the buggy horse was staunch and true as the love of the young couple he was drawing. lie leap, ed nimbly away from the string, and once more got the best of the start Judge Manion, nothing daunted, again took tbe t-addle and put spurs to his fall Liful courser. For four miles the race was neck and neck, neither entry for the grand prize flagging; hut at the finish of that diHtance the horse under saddle cast a shoe and stumbled to the ground completely exhausted. The buggy glided unaccompanied to Gallatin. Judge Manion picked himself up, deter mined to carry out his mission, and walked along tbn road for three miles, when he procured another horse, this time a Borry plug, and started once more on a run. In the meantime, however, our young people had arrived at Gallatin. A preacher was secured and the wedding was performed at the principal hotel in the presence of a dozen specially Invited guests. Judge Manion galloped into town on his worn-out hack just In time to congratulate Mr. aud Mrs. Carpenter, which he did with the best grace possi ble. It will be interesting to the readers of the Courier-Journal In Louisville to know that the bride la the daughter of Mr. Itobert L. Brown, formerly a well kuown merchant of this city. She Is also a couslu by marriage of Gen. Ell II. Murray. She Is but M years of age. Courier-Journal. Curious Eye Si y tit . ONE day lust winter a gentleman liv ing near Litchfield Mich., took with him to a sleigh ride hla daughter, who Is Just past sixteen years of age. It was a very bright sunny day, but cold. The glistening snow which had fallen the night before was bright aud almost dazzling. The man to protect his eyes, wore a pair of glasses shaded blue, but the youug girl had nothing to protect her eyes from the intense glare, Noth lug was thought of it at the time, but upon arriving home the girl complained of her eyes paining her. Her mother bathed them with cream, thinking that in the morning they would be all right, but when morning came they were much worse, and continuing to grow still more so they called in a physician, but all to no purpose as he could do nothing to relieve the paiu which her eyes gave her. To make the story short the girl was obliged to be kept in a dark room where no ray of light could enter for six long weary months. From time to time other physicians were em ployed, but none could give her relief. They Anally came to the conclusion that she would eventually become blind. In this way she remained a close prisoner in tills room, as a slugle ray of light, either from the sun or from a lamp, pained her eyes, which were relieved when the room was darkened. One day last week, while she was sit ting there all alone, she felt a new sen sation about her eyes which she had not experienced before as she described it: " It seemed as if my eyes were running out, or part of them. Putting my hand up to my eyes I could feel something coming out over my lower eyelids, which I took hold of and pulled out. It gave me some pain to do so, but almost immediately my eyes felt better in stead of a smarting sensation when I winked they felt cool and natural and it was a pleasure to wink them. Then came the thought, Why, my eyes are better, and I believed I could bear the light, which thought so impressed upon my mind that I was determined to try. Hesitatingly I opened the door, when to my great joy I found I was able to bear the light as well as I ever could. The feeling that came over me at tbe mo ment that I found that I could once more Bee the glorious sunlight again was so overpowering that I gave one scream of joy and theu fainted away." Now comes the strangest part of the story. Her eyes, which six months ago were straight and natural, are now what we call cross-eyed, but the girl pays no attention to that. She sees things just the same as she always did, but let her close her right eye and look ou t of only her left eye and she can see a distance of eight or ten miles and distinguish things as well as an ordinary person can only sixty rods away. She is able to look clear to tbe lake, a distance of three and a half miles, and identify any one, de scribing their dress, even seeing a Ash pole in their hands, and can tell when they catch a fish. The distant hills are brought close to her and she can see the farmers getting in their hay, even count ing the number of heaps, which in an air line are seven miles from her. To test her we procured tbe largest Aeld glass we could get and her sight would far out reach any object we could see. If she closes her left eye and looks out of the right, then she cannot see anything ex cept close to her, but that eye is a perfect microscope. She is able to distinguish things that the natural eye cannot see. The point of a needle looks as blunt as a a crowbar, and it iswonderful to hear her describe the beautiful colors of Ales and other insects. To hei the hairs on your bead look as large as darning need les and in the finest piece of linen she can count the threads as easily as any one can count beau poles. . Tbe mo ment she opens both eyes they assume the cross-eyed expression or shape, and then she sees again as any other person. It is the intention of her father to take her to New York at no distant day to let some of the celebrated physicians there see thin wonderful phenomenon. - --- A Woman In a bad Fix. .The Cleveland Leader says: Last evening the particulars were learned of a distressing occurrence at Euclid. There lives within the limits of the town named a middle-aged farmer nam ed Henry Goodplower, who, although honest, is not addicted to the careful ob servation or tbe Biblical Injunction to keep holy the Sabbath, which Is indica tlveofaplous man. On Baturday Mr. and Mrs. Goodplower attended the clr cus and the lady remarked with feelings of admiration and astonishment the contortions of the India rubber man who placed his feet on the back of his own nck wltlf manifest ease and grace. The circus ended, and the Euclid dele gation returned home Mrs. G. deeply thoughtful. Yesterday the farmer, who, as stated above, Is not a member of any religious denomination, accohipanied by his hired men, betook himself to the oats Aeld to make up for lost time. Af ter the man had departed, Mrs. Good plower sat down on the Aoor to carry out a plan which she had been turning over In her mind. She Is of a very emulative nature, and the more she thought of the India rubber man the more she became Axed In the belief that she could dis count Bonio of his eflbrts. The first feat attempted was putting her feet back of her neok. The right foot was adjusted with circumstantial ease. All attempts to get tbe other one up fulled utterly aud dismally. Finally, concluding that the day was not a good one for playing cir cus, Mrs. G. tried, to get her right foot down, but was unable to do so. Fin ally, realizing her desperate condition, Mrs. Goodplower's efforts were little less than superhuman, but they were no good ; the foot would not come down, and at length tbe unfortunate woman gave over her fruitless exertions. In the meantime the cheerful hus band and hired man were breaking the Sabbath and making the oat Aeld look sick. All the morning they tolled, and as noon came on they looked anxiously and expectantly toward the house, but no signs that dinner was ready were received. At last the shadows and yearning stomachs convinced the reap ers that dinner time was long past. The farmer led the way to the house, and on entering the door his startled gaze fell on the form of the wife of his bosom colled up on the Aoor like a sec tion of hose, the Are out and the dishes unwashed. The horrified man thought it was an attack of green cucumbers, but on attempting to raise his help-meet discovered the trouble and proceeded to straighten the woman out. No more circus for her. Luclfers by The Million. Edward Prince, splint manufacturer of Horseshoe Bay Buckingham town ship, is authority for tbe statement that there are in the United States and Cana da, about twenty-two match factories, and that the daily production and con sequently dally consumption is about 25,000 gross per day. It may seem a queer statement to make that 100,000 hours of each successive day are spent by the people of the two countries in strik ing a light, but such is undoubtly the case. In each grops of matches manu factured there are 144 boxes, so that 25, 000 gross produces 3,600,000 boxes. Each box, at least those made in the States, where a duty of a cent on every box is levied contains 100 matches, so that the number of matches produced and used daily amounts to 8(10,000,000. Counting that it takes a second to light each match and it is questionable whether it can be done in less time than that, while some men occupy several minutes sometimes in trying to strike a light, particularly when boozy to light the 800,000,000 would take just that number of seconds. This gives 6,000,000 minutes, or 100,000 hours. In days of twenty-four hours each it figures up to 4,16Gj, and gives eleven years and Ave months, with a couple of days extra, as the time occupied during every twenty, four hours by tbe people of North Amer icanot figuring on the Mexicans in striking matches. Figuring a little further, it gives 4,159 years' time in each year. The fact may eem amazing but is undoubtedly correct. A Sharp Dog Trap. The Lynchburg Virginian describes an ingenious trap devised by a Virginia farmer to capture sheep killing dogs. Having Buttered severely from thedepre dations of dogs upon his Bheep fold, be built around a number of sheep tbat dogs had killed an inclosure of rails twelve feet high and about ten feet square at the ground, tbe sides of the trap sloping inward until an opening was made about five feet square. Any dog could easily climb such a sloping fence and enter the pen, but not even a greyhound could jump out of it. In three nights the farmer captured forty six dngs, Including fifteen or twen ty he bad never seen before In tbat neighborhood. This, after there had been a public slaughter of all the dogs suspected of Bheep killing, save one, whose master could not lie convinced of his guilt. The trap was built for his especial benefit, and It caught him the first night. Shoeing Maud S. Ordinarily the shoeing of a horse Is not an attractive spectacle. But when it is announced that a famous trotter like Maud 8. is to have new shoes, the mere mention of the fact is sufficient to draw a crowd of spectators. Such an announcement.says the Hartford Timet, was made yesterday, and Prof. Hule, the well-known shoer of this city, was ' selected for the Job. The mare was driv en to the blacksmith shop of Hule & Dart, In an open buggy by Mr. Balr, her trainer, accompauled by C. Stone. At the blacksmith shop there was such a crowd gathered that it required the united eA'orts of two policemen to keep tbe room clear during the operation of Bhoelng. There were a great many of these people who wanted a shoe, but they were disappointed, for every shoe, every nail, and also hair from the tail and mane of tbe famous mare are saved to be given away as souvenirs to the friends of tbe owner. Professor Hule performed the job In his accustomed style, for he Is noted among horsemen for the excellence of his work, and has shod more of the famous race horses in the country than any other man. Mr. Balr watched every nail driven. The new shoes put ou are of the finest steel and of the best finish. The forward ones are plain concave, aud weighed 15i ounces. The hind shoes are convex and weigh 8 ounces. A Cat Story. In the year 1783 a merchant who re sided at Messina, in Sicily, bad, it is said, two favorite cats, and their man ners one day aiarmed him. The two animals were anxiously endeavoring to work their way through the door; their master, observing their fruitless labors, openeu me uoor tor inem. At a second aud third door, which they found closed, they repeated their efforts; and on being Bet completely at liberty, they immedi ately ran straight through the street and out of the gate of the town. The mer chant, whose curiosity was excited by this strange conduct, followed the ani mals out of the town into the fields,' where he saw them again scratchingand burrowing Into tbe earth. Soon after there was a violent shock of an earth quake, and many of the houses, in the city fell down, of which the merchant's was one, so he was indebted for his life to (he singular forebodings of these do mestic animals. A Stubborn Deacon. A story is told of a self-willed deacon, who was always on tbe wrong side, and ludicrously stubborn. When the tem perance reform was in full feather, and the question was discussed in the church, of which he was an officer, as a matter of course he opposed it. He would not consent to its presentation In the Sun day school ; he also objected vehement ly to the distribution of tracts. One day, in the presence of a full house, one of the members of the church made the case of the deacon a subject of prayer. He said : " O, Lord! if thy servant, our brother, continues his opposition to us, wilt thou, in thy tender mercies, remove him from the church militant below to the church triumphant above?'' "I won't go!" thundered the indignant and obstinate deacon. Saved his Money. Mr. William Hughes, of Fayette county, stopped a few nights ago with a relative named Sbadxick, In Alle gheny township, Somerset county, and during the night had a somewhat excit ing adventure. He hadfSOO with him and did a little indiscreet blowing about it. Some time in the night a burglar entered his room, which was on tbe first floor of the house, and a desperate combat ensued, ending in a victory for Mr.. Hughes, who escaped with his life and his, money. He received several ugly wounds, however. A Lady's Wish. " Ob, I do wish my skin was as clear and soft as yours," said a lady to her friend.
