If the ‘dollar of the fathers” was in reality a sacred thing (and there were not 2 few publicists in the country a short time ago who seemed to think it was) surely no extraordinary sanctity can attach to their system of trans- portation, and the rates of carriage that they were obliged to give for com- mon necessaries of life. A mgazine published in Philadelphia in 1818 gave the following in an item of news: In the course of the twelve months of 1817 12,000 wagons passed the Alle- gheny mountains from Philadelphia and Baltimore, each with four to six horses, carrying from thirty-tive to forty hundred weight. The cost of carriage was about seven dollars per hundred weight, in some cases as high asten dollars to Philadelphia. ‘The aggrecate sum paid for the conveyance of goods exceeded $1,500.000.—Alta Californian. ———__~e His Nerve Weakened.

Jefferson Davis has had a good many narrow escapes, but one of them has never been told in print, and the chief actor in the affair has never eared to }talk about it. Somewhere along in the fifties the Nobles, an English fame ily residing in P-nnsylvania, decided to move Sonthward. They selected Rome, Ga, as their objective point, and started on their journey, after making the necessary disposition of their goods. : The Nobies had some family jewels, and about $4 009 in cash. How to carry these valuables safely bothered them not alittle, but they packed the money and jewels in an old-fashioned E :glish hand chest, and took them along. The travelers landed at Charleston and took the next train for their destina- tion. Some extra fare was demanded, and in paying it they had to open their chest and expose their treasure. Sharp eyes were on the wa‘ch, and the glit- ter of the contents of the chest attract- ed attention. As a matter of precaution the chest was confided to Miss Mary Noble, who sat in asecluded section of the car with her back to the door. At Branchville, S. C., two gentlemen boarded the train. One was a young, wiry man, and the other was tall and slender, past the meridian of life, and of cistinguished appearance. When Augusta was reached the two strangers went on to Atlanta, and the Nobles discovered that their precious chest was missing. The conluctor was clamorously appealed to, and he instantly gave it as his opinion that “ihe one-eyed man had stolen it.”” “He's a bad-looking fellow,” said the conductor. The chest had evidently been snatched out of the rear window of the car, as the suspected man took his departure at a moment wien Miss Noble’s attention was fixed in some other direction. After a consultation it was decided that Mrs. and Miss Mary should pro- ceed to Atlanta and cause the arrest of the supposed thicf. while Mr. Noble and the others remained in Augusta awaiting, not very confidently, the re- sult. Mrs. Noble succeeded in tracing the two men to their stopping place in Atlanta, and identified them as soon as she saw them. At her request they were arrested and carried to police headquarters, where the astonishing discovery was made that the ‘one- eyed man’? was President Pierce's Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, and his companion was his private secretary. Mr. Davis was in a good humor, and of course the two gentlemen were at once released with many apol- ogies. Before leaving, Mr. Davis told Mrs. Noble and her daughter that he re- gretted thcir loss, and he tendered them a twenty-dollar gold piece as an evidence of his sympathy. Mrs. Noble declined to acc2pt the gift, but Miss Mary spoke up and said: “Yes, take it That is some of our money that the old rascal took!” Mr. Davis smiled and pressed the money upon Mrs. Noble, who finally took it, and carried it to her husband in Angusta. Suspicion was then directed to the conducter, but his sudden death in the course of a few days stopped further investigation. After the election of Mr. Davis to the presidency of the Southern C>n- federacy, Mr. Noble, then a prosper- ous contractor, visited him at Mont- gomery and talked with him about manufacturing connon. Mr. Davis asked him several ques- tions, and then referred to the loss of the chest. He introduced Mr. Noble to Mrs. Davis and told the story of the arrest. Mrs. Davis laughed heartily over the accident, and with her hus- hand took quite an interest in the Nobles from that time. Noble went to work and made hun- dreds of cannon for the Confederacy. Later he funded and built up the flourishing city of Anniston in Ala- Bama. In the midst of his prosperity he is stilt devoted to the ‘one-eyed man" who was once supposed to be the author of his greatest misfortune. —Annision (Ala.) Cor. N. ¥. Sun. A Gift For All.

THE KELLYS DISPOSED OF. Latest Account of the Killing of the No-Man’s-Land Fiends. Fort Ellis, Tex., Jan. 3.—A week or two ago the story was mide pub- lic of the wholesale butcheries ani robberies near Oak City in No-Man’s- Land, said to have been committed by the Kelly family, who lived ina dwelling frequented by travelers where people journeying from Meade Center, Kan., to Beaver City, No- Man’s-Land, would stop for enter- tainment. The place was a half a day's ride from each town and so came to have a large patronage, as many drummers from Kansas City, Chicago and Wichita frequent that country disposing of their goods.

Besides, there were four bodies found buried beneath the stable, one of which was that of a woman about along- buried at a depth of not over three feet, was un- earthed the remains of a man which appeared to be better dressed than At the corner of the barn were buried the bodies of a third man and woman. whose heads were crushed as though from a blow with some heavy weapon. In the woodshed was found a blunt ax, “T've had my share of fun!” “Shall I tell?” half whispered the girl to her brother. “No.” | “Then let them find out for them- selves,” was the reply. In a moment the two bodies were hanging in the air. The ropes were tied to an adjoining sapling and the bodies left hanging while the posse rode on after the old man. Kelly by this time had disappear- ed but his trail was easily followed toward alow range of mountains. His pursuers continued for three hours when their terri ic riding gave them a glimpse of a horseman in their front. The old man spurred on his jaded steed, but soon heard the command to halt. This he re- fused to do, when a shot was fired. Still he kept on when another shot was heard and the lone rider started in his saddle for a moment and then stopped his horse. In an instant the band surrounded him. The work of vengeance was to be com pleted. With gray hairs hanging unkempt from beneath an old weath- er-beaten hat, with shaggy eyebrows u-der which two cold gray eyes glanced from one face to another, the old man stood at bay. Kelly was informed that he had but a short time to live, and any- thing he had to say would be heard. He threw a furtive glance at the speaker and asked about the rest, meaning his wife and children. The leader pointed up with his hand to the limb of atree. The old man un- derstood and commenced talking in an almost inaudible voice, being soon interrupted by the placing of the rope around his neck. In an in stant he was drawn up and the last of the notorious family had met his fate. BLINDED BY PREJUDICE. Some Striking Situations Inte Which Well Informed Persons are Led. There is no end of witchcraft ard deception. Years ago persons sus- _ pected of the “strange infatuation” ” were thrown into the water—if guilty of witchcraft, they would drown. For many years the world was shocked at such inhumanity of man to man, but if we were to declare that people are persecuted to day quite as remorselessly as were the so called witches of old, our state- ments might be received with great incredulity. But it is a fact. If you do not believe it, enter any one of the schools of medical prac- tice, and attempt to use a prepara- tion which the code does not recog- nize, or even to recommend indirect- ly any popular remedy, such for in- stance, as Warner's celebrated kid- ney remedy, and then relate your ex- perience. Then you'll admit the fact. Let us be frank with you reader We tell you that this is downright bigotry. Merit demands and is en- titled to recognition, wherever found. If geologists tell us that diamonds must always be found in sand, would you not be a fool if you found one in gravel and did not “realize” on it? Your friends would call you fool- ish. The trouble with the doctors is that they can’t cure advanced dis- eases of certain forms, and they will not allow the use of any outside proprietary medicine, which they know has cured the disease.

As the race con- tinued it was found that the villains had changed their course south to- ward Wheeler, Tex., for which point they were evidently aiming. From returning wagons on the road it was also ascertained that the parties wanted were not far in the lead. About noon Thursday last they were seen. They also discovered their pursuers, as they left the wagon and at once mounted the horses which they had been leading For two hours a hot chase was had, when the horse ridden by Mrs. Kelly stumbled and fell, breaking its own neck as well as that of its rider. No stop was made by either party on account of this accident, but soon the pursuers were near enough to the son and daughter to shoot. A cry of “Halt!” brought them to a stop, but-the old’ man, who rode a better animal, kept on his way.
