A TALE OF VALLE CRUCIS.
Duriii"; tiie summer of 1888, it was
the writers pleasure to accompany the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
of North Carolina on his canvass
through the wild, mountainous coun
try in the western portion of that
state. "
At night, sitting around abhuir
log fire, we were often ' entertained
by tales of mouutain life told by the
mountaineers in their own inimitable
way. The following little history of
die life of one of these mountain peo-
f' le, usually w free from anything
ike romance, told us at the little place
called Valle Crucis, in Mitchell
county, was especially interesting to
our party.
'.ledge," said an old mountaineer,
apparently 80 years of age, addressing
the guWiiatorial candidate, "thar'sar
leetle grave up ther mounting side
which I'll take yer terarter rising time
ter-inorrer. It'hev been ar mighty
long time ergo since it war made; but
even now when I sets down an' thinks
"lout ther life of ther one that lies in
that lonesome place, wharther wolves
howl an1 ther wind blows so cold, I
can't keep back ther tears; no, Jedge,
I cau'L An ther ain't none of this'
hero stuff what yer read 'bout in
books in this what I'll tell yer nuther ;
ther whole thing is true shoas the
Lord made me, ev'ry word, an' ez
nigh ez I can Til tell it ter you.
When I was ar boy long, long
time ergo, olo Squire Smith he lived at
Pig Pen Gap, 'bout ten miles down
ther creek. Ho had ar leetle gal name
Mary. She had them great big black
eyes what 'ud shine like ar buck's on
ar dark night an' them long curls that
'ud fly in ther win'. She wuzar mighty
pry"crceter. She could run an'
dim' ar tree wus'n ar squirrel with
ar dog urter him. An' cause she could
do all sich, we uns alius called her
Kildec.
"OJe Squire Pearson lived up ther
branch not so mighty fur. He'd come
thar ar good many years afore, but
nobody didn't seem to knownothin'
much 'bout him. He had ar chap
named Bill. Me an' Bill was pard
ncrs, but, Jedge, we warn't no more
like than ar pig an' ar punkin. Bill
lie war ther best feller you ever seed,
lla wouldn't hurt nothin'. If we'd
start out huntin' an' fin' some game.
Bill wouldn't want ter shoot it An'
then he didn't take no intrust in things
like me. When we'd go ter get chest
nuts an' sich, he'd forgit all 'bout what
ho come arter an' go set down ou ar
log; he wouldn't say nary a word, but
look right at ther ground. Pear'd
lil; he war thinkin' bout somethm
way off. An' ther he'd set till I'd
chuck him with ar burr an' say,
Wake up.' I'd alius lie askin' him
what ailed him, an' he'd say. 'Nothin'.'
But I thought, an' I kuowed thar was;
an so one tlay when u e were out fish
in' an Bill was settin' on ther bank.
duu forgot 'bout fish an' was lookiu' in
ther water, I went an' set down right
close ter him an' sez: 'Bill, we uns
have been tighten good chums nearly
ever since we wuz a whimperin', but
yer hain't never tol'nie wliat in ther
woi'l" 'tis you air always studyin'
'bout. Now, come, ole feller, an' tell
me what 'tis. Pullin hisself tergether,
turniu' round an' lookiu' me spang in
the eye, he sed: 'Ike, dad has alius
tolo me this yer is a treat big worl'.
an' he uster, way long time ago, live
in one of them big things what yer
call cities, whar thar's mo folks lives
tergether than thar be in the Mitchell
county two times big. An' ther folks
what live thar have got larnin'. I
ain't got no mm' as to what ther thing
be. but dad sez it am mighty good. It's
gittin' gumption in yer head. Now I'd
jes like to go tooueof them places
and git ur peep but you is the first
creeter I cvertole, an' 'Say, fellers,
I hev found a new cave ter make ar
house iu. Come right on!' Lookiii
up wo seed Kildee. When Bill seed
her his eye begun to shine (.mine too,
I speks. Jedge. said the old man, laugh
ing). Me an' BUI both liked Kildee
like she were our sister; it were ther
only thing me an' him was like in.
Jedge, yer bet we three had ther big
gest time 'round this yer ole settlement
you ever beam of. We'd play like
we wuz growed up an' 'ud keep bouse
an' all sich things. Course Kildee 'ud
be ther ole 'oman an' keep House.
Me an' Bill did the huntin' and she'd
do tho skiumn' an' cookin', 'ceptin'
oucct in ar while when we didn't kill
euough to suit her, she'd grab the ole
flint rifle, go iu ther woods, an' when
il liangcd somethin' alius drapped.
Waal, yer bet she could shoot
Things went on this way for ar
long, long time; playin' like, yer
know. But twan' so many years
afore we begun to think 'bout 'sure
'nougli.' That same kin' of somethin'
what tells leetle bars they ain't cubs
no longer begun to tell us, 'yer got ter
stop yer playm' like.'
'One uviwnin' fer the first time, we
got ter talkin' about the matter. Bill
wuz alius ready to, talk 'bout Kildee,
w wc set an' talked ar long time 'bout
which of us should liave Kildee for
his ole 'oman. Twouldn't have been
Bill if he hadn't wanted ter give her
to me, cause he were jes that good
hearted; but, yer know. Jedge, I
couldn't, I wouldn' let him do that
But ve couldn't agree on nuthin'; so
wc said we leave the whole thing ter
Kildee fer ter fix, an' we'd do jes' like
she sed, didnt make no difference
what it were. So nex' day when all
three of we uns were in Big B'ar cave
Iupsan' sez:
' 'Kildee, mean' Bill air in trouble.
An' when wc tell yer what 'tis we air
afraid you will just holler, an Till
make all sorts of fan outen us, but
we ain't a-carin'. Its jes this : we uns
hev been cubs long enough, an' now
it's time we be gittin' growed up. An'
we ain't perticuler smart, but we got
gumption 'nough to know two fellers

then he wanted me to hev her too. The

He hed begged and begged me ter go

of ther ole folks, and keep my eye on
Kildee fer him. He didn't hev no
inin' as ter whar he wargoin', qut sed
he wur goin' 'till he found ar
city. When he sed good-by, we
couldn't tell why, but ther tears begun
ter sprout in our eyes. Bill sed: 'ike,
keen good keer of Kildee till I come
back. We maybe growed up then,
but we uns will stiU be ther same ole
Ike an' Bill.'
"After he left, me an' Kildee kep'
up our frolics, but 'twaru't like it

afore many years an' then we'll be so
happy again.'
" 'Bout ar year arter, there come
past here some men what called them
selves surveyors. They went up ter
Squire Smith's an' asked to put up ar
few weeks.
"Kildee war 'bout 18 then, nigh ez
I recall, an' a puttier or pearler gal
never slapped foot on the ole Blue
Ridge. Thar wuzar young buck in
ther gang what wore a white shirt an'
talked soft an' putty like. From the
fust he 'neared ter like Kildee. He'd
ask her ter go long an' help drag his
ole chain. Every tune I'd go ter see
Kildee she'd be gone down ther ravine
or somewhar with that thar f oiler.
One day ez I was goin' home I tlrmght
I heard somebody talkin' soft lko up
among the bushes. I stopped, listen

ther noise. Thar set Kildee an' that
feller. He hed his arm 'round her an'
was talkin' mighty intrusted like. An'
every now an then Kildee's eyes
would shine an' she'd laugh an' say,
'Yes, yes.' I stood and watched them
for ar while but didn't say ar word . I

ter suit me. 1 knowu he was up ter
some devilish trick.
"Nex' mawnin' 'bout sun up, while
I was feedin' pigs, I seed somebody
walkin' mighty brisk like down the
road. When he got nigher I seed it
wuz ole Squire Smith. He wuz ar
cussin' an' rarin. I knowd somethin
wus up.
" 'Waal, Squire, what's ther fun?' I
asked.

threw down the corn I was feedin. an'
sez: 'Come on. Squire, we'll ketch him

"Afore we hed gone fer we met ole
man Pearson and askt if he hed seen
them. He sed they had passed his
house the evenin' afore, but he didn't

if they were, 'tain't no use ter try ter

Jedge, it war like somebody had
died round hyar arter that leetle gal

Smith did die afore long. She uster
set an' cry an' say she'd never see her

Well, Jedge, one day I wuz settin'
down there; it war where me au' Bill
sed good-by. I wus thinkin' it had
been ten long years since we parted.
an' how things hed

that the house and everything had to

tickets are not printed is tho fact that

Did she scream or faint? No; she did

NAMES IN A rANKEE TOWN.
rialalynaa Hi a sally Daatilailea rrettt-
la the little aad exceedingly rough
coaaty town of Wolcott, which b .osdy
six sailes long and four wide, there are
twenty-eight localities which had espe
cial names given to them by the colonists
who settled there, and which have clung
to ( them to this day. There were vol
umes in some of the names to the pio
neer. The custom illustrates forcibly
the good Yankee habit of having a aaate
for everything and of giving everything
a name. The list runs like this: .
"Red Adder Meadow,' where in for
mer days one of these serpents was kill
ed every year in haying time. Near this
meadow stands an old bouse, into which,
at milking time, while the family was
absent a red adder crawled and bit a
young chQd that had beea left alone.
The child was found dead with the ser
pent in its breast
rifJsck Ledge" coataiaajiMjoave waert
Indian Jack lived with his squaw for
years, tie rerused to dwell in a bouse.
"Beaker UiU. said to be the spot
where the pioneers drank a beaker of
wine together, after viewing their new
found country.
"Spindle Hill," where the broom and
basket stuff were cut, ax bandies were
made and hickory spindles turned out
for the spinning wheels of Wolcott
'Clinton Hill," named after its first
settler, is the highest land in that part
of Connecticut.
"Chestnut Hill," a ridge running north
and south, and smothered in old chest
uut trees.
"Bald Hill," on the summit of which
the soil is so poor that there is no vegeta
tion. "Wolf Hill," which was riddled with
wolf holes. The colonists were 100 years
exterminating the pests that lived inside.
"Tame Buck," a vale liaunted by a
buck which became so tame that he
would come out in sight to eat
"Woodtick," a settlement so named
because in old times, when the wood
choppers laid down their clothing, it was
quickly infested with these pests, which
had to be cut out of a person's body to
be successfully got rid of.
"Misery Hollow," containing a well

SHE CHANGED HER ADDRESS.
Aad Then relt
Where the
Iasaltea
Xaw Ha
Asked
Was.
We have often thought we should
like to 'tend bar in the counting room
of a newspaper. A man in this posi
tion gets so much general information.
The other day we were hanging'
around in The Post's counting room
trying to make it appear we were the
business manager or cashier or some
body worth while, when a very dis
tinguished looking lady entered and
said to the engaging young gentleman
who politely offered his services:
"Will you be kind enough to
change the address on our paper "
"Certainly," said the young gentle
man, taking his pen from over his ear
and reaching for the address book.
"Thank you," she said, and turned
to sweep out
"Excuse me, madam, but you did
not give me the address."
"Didn't I? I thought I did. Are you
out CI
"Perhaps I didn't hear it"
"Maybe not, but lam pretty sure I
gave it to you."
The young man politely waited.
"Oh! You want to know where to
send the paper. Yes, yes ; I didn't un
derstand you. You see, lam not very
familiar with business. My husband
almost always attends to such things,
but he is hanging the pictures in the
new house this afternoon and, as I was
coming down to do a little shopping,
he asked me to attend to this."
"Yes'm," said the young gentle
man, resuming his waiting attitude.
"It will come to us all right now,
will it?" she asked, turning to go.
The young gentleman courteously
inquired her name. She looked a lit
tle insulted, then a trifle dazed, but
presently she smiled and said :
"Oh, 'you want my name so that
you'll know whom to send it to. Of
course, how stupid I am!" and she
blushed and seemed confused. "You
see, I've become so accustomed to hav
ing all the gentlemen with whom I
do business know who I am that I
never once thought"
She gave her name and the young
gentleman wrote it down.
"Where has the paper been deliver
ed, please?
'Wharajt QuroliflAce. We just
moved yesterday. The out nouse waa
very comfortable and we should have
staved there, but our what do yoa
call it? lease is that iti"
'Probably."
"Yes; our lease expired ou the first
of the month, and the man who owns
the house has coucluded to live in it
himself and let us have the new house
he has just built It is a very nice
house and has more conveniences
than the old one, but after all the old
place was a good deal like home to us,
we had lived there so long. Still, the
new place is much nearer lo my hus
band s place of business, and 1 think
it is in a little more desirable quarter
of the city, too.''
"What section Is it in?" asked the
young man. with commendable stra
tegy. "Oh, the northwest section. I
wouldn't move from the old place to
go. to any other thau the northwest
section, for 1"
. "And what street it it in?"
She gave the name of a fashionable
street '
"And what is the number?'
She looked as if she were not quite
sure this was not impertinence, but the
young gentleman's polite nianuer re
assured Iter and site told him the num
ber. "Where have you been living?" he
asked.
She certainly thought that he was
a very inquisitive person her counte
nance showed that much but she an
swered his question, not, however,
without a resolution to put a stop to
his inquiries, for when she had given
tho number of the old place somewhat
icily, she turned and rather strode
than walked from the office. Wash

AN EMPRESS IN THE KITCHEN.
8h Loots Aner It. SapertateaOa Every
thing. aal It la a Weadeefel Place.
The empress of Austria is the best
royal housekeeper in Europe. She is
as thoroughly acquainted with the de
tails of the imperial Austrian kitchen
as her husband is with the details of
the imperial Austrian government
She superintends the household af
fairs of the big palace at the Austrian
capital with the greatest care. She re
ceives personally, reads and acts upon
reports from cooks, butlers, keepers
of the plate and keepers of the linen.
Cookiugdevices which have become in
convenient or antiquated are abolished
only at her command. New methods
of preparing or serving food are
adopted only at her suggestion.
Chauges in the personnel of the estab
lishment are made for the most part
only in obedience to her orders. Con
sequently a person can eat drink,
sleep and be served better in her
house than in any other in Europe.
The kitchen in which the food for
the bluest blood of Austria is cooked is
a huge room with all the arrange
ments at each end for preparing fish,
fowl and beast for the table. Fifty
chickens can be cooked at once ou one
of the big whirling spits. Against the
side walls from floor to ceiling stand
scores and scores of chafing dishes.
In these dishes, ail of which are self
warming, the meats aie carried to the
carving room, whence they are re
turned to tho kitchen ready to be
served. The boiling and baking and
frying and carrying and cutting oc
cupy a small regiment of servants.
Twenty-five male cooks, in white
clothes, dress, spit season and stuff
the meats. As many female cooks
prepare the vegetables, the puddings
and the salads. A dozen or more
boys hurry the birds, fish and joints
irom uie aiicneu 10 me carving room,
where long lines of carvers slice ant
joint everything laid before them.
The kitchen utensils fill a big room
opening into the kitchen. This room
is the ideal of German housewives.
The high walls are covered with pans,
kettles, griddles and covers, which
shine as only German hands and Ger
man muscles can make them shine.
There are soup tureens in which a big
boy might be drowned, kettles in
which twins could play house, and
pans that could bold half a dozen
Hanses or Gretchens. In short, about
every culinary utensil ou the walls is
of the heroic size, suggestive rather of
the Missouri barbecue than of the
feasts of crowned heads anil diplomats
at one of the first of courts.
For days before the gieat court
festivals the whole Austrian court
kitchen staff, from the "head court
cooking master' down to the
youngest scullion, work like mad.
The chefs hold repeated consultations
iu their council chamber, often debat
ing hour after hour with all the ear
nestness of a parliament or congress
concerning the best methods of pre
paring fowls, sauces, cakes and soups.
The menu, as selected by the chefs, is
submitted to the master of the provis
ion department so that he may imme-1

The Austrian court dinners are fa
mous on the continent The delica
cies which result from the protracted
meetings in the council chamber of
the chefs are often so fine that fa
vored guests not infrequently ob
serve the old German fashion of tak
ing a choice bit home to their friends
in the name of the empress and with
her best wishes. All that remains of
a court feast or dinner is sent to the
Viennese hospitals. On the days just
after the banquet the empress is very
busy looking over the reports and in
ventories of the frau head keeper of
the napkins, and the fraulein head
keeper of the tablecloths, and the
head guardian of the imperial china,
and a dozen other like functionaries
with jointed titles. She reviews all
these communications with conscien
tious care, and orders with strict at
tention to minute details the replace
ment of all that has been lost, broken
or defaced. New York Sun.

Saheb Den Dhobey waaa prison offi
cial of proved courage and magnifi
cent physique, who was brought from
Jessore to Alipore to take the place of
head warder. It was bis duty to visit
the patrols between the surrounding
walls every night between the hours
of 13 aud 2. On one occasion, after
he had been only a few days in the
jail, he set out on his rounds as usual,
but some time after 2 a. m. it was found
that he had not returned. Time wore
on, and at last mere wondering why
he was so lata gave way to anxiety,
and a search party waa organised.
They carried torches, and at last came
upon the insensible form of Saheb Den
Dhobey. He was lying prostrate on
the ground close to the hospital gate,

taat from the gnuowp.
earned to taeoflkdars
marten, and thereafter a tune, by
the application of water and other re
storatives, he was brought around.
The following waa the tale he told:
He had been going his rounds aad
bad stooped down to adjust one of his
shoes, when he felt some one spring
upon him from behind and commence
belaboring him between his shoulders.
The concussion forced him on to his
hands and knees, and he first thought
that it was a prisoner trying to escape.
Not very much aUrmed, for he had
confidence in his great physical prow
ess, he tried to grasp his assailant by
Ktting one arm behind his back; but
could feci nothing, yet the blows
continued to rain down upon bira,
and he felt himself pressed, down to
the earth by a great weight At last
a voice addressed him: ''You dare
come here, do you, to defile by your
presence tha territories of Uoviad
Brahmiu?' Aud with that iheaaan
felt himself bodily lifted up, and then
dsahed face forward on the ground.
He remembered ao more till heawoaw
to consciousness in the guard room.
When he had finished this strange
story, the aged head warder, who was
about to retire, came up and put the
question: "Wbatistfiis that U being
said about Govind Brahmin?" This
led to explanations, and the old
warder told now a uoted budmash of
that tiauic, who had committed sev
eral eold blooded murders, and had
been hanged iu Alipore jail six-and-twenty
years before. "But." pointed
out one" of the auditors, "SahebDen
Dhobey was attacked a good distance
from the gallows. We found him
close to the hospital gate." "Ah!" re
plied the old man impressively, "the
scaffold in those days stood on the
very spot where you found the pros
trate body of Saheb Den Dhobey.'
The latter listened with blanched
face; then he threw himself back on
tho couch on which he lay. "My
hour has come." he said. "It must
have been the spirit of Govind Brahmin
that attacked and beat me. My heart
is broke, it is certain I must die."
And die he did in two days' time.

A Iaa of Tattles.
A correspondent of a Ceylon journal
gives some interesting information
about the turtles on the coast in the
neighborhood of Jaffna, in the north
of the island, which are said to be in
numerable. They are of three species,
called sea, milk and pariah turtles re
spectively. The ordinary or sea tur
tle is generally large in sue and is met
with everywhere at sea around Jaffna.
Two tiny islands, called Iranativu, are
literally swarming with them. The
islands themselves are sterile, and al
ways exposed to inundation; the in
habitants are poor and ignorant of
agriculture, and live chiefly on the
turtles. They use the shells of the
large ones as seats. In the town of
Jaffna the ordinary turtle is always
procurable, and is a favorite article of
food with the people. The milk turtle
is small iu size, and is to be found only
in wells and banks. It is not an article
of food except with the poorer classes.
The pariah turtle has a high back and
a shell which somewhat resembles that
of the tortoise. It is found iu marshes
aud ditches. It is not an article of
food, but is highly valued by native
medical men, because the flesh and
blood are supposed to be a panacea for
ailments peculiar to children. New
York News.
A Precious Slag.
The diamond signet of the ill fated
Charles I of England is of immense
j intrinsic and artistic value. It was
supposed to be the handiwora of the
monarch himself. He was known as
a skillful artificer in gold and silver,
and much of his leisure was devoted
to this congenial occupation. On the
seal was the graven coat of arm1 of
Great Britain and the monogram of
the king.
At his demise it liasswd into the lms-
! session of his dethroned son, who, dur-
mg tt:e time of his banishment in
France, became in such straitened
circu instances that he wan forced to
part with the precious relic. It was
purchased by the well known French
traveler, Tavemier, who shortly after
ward made a jouruev to the far ori
ent. He exhibited the jewel at the
Persian court and the shall offered
him a fabulous price for the unique
treuie care iu the treasure vault of the
oriental satrap. Pros.

itself trying to look after people who
