An Exciting Elopement.
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.
