SOME MEMOIUES. Glances Backward hj Washington County Man. Continued From Every well-regulated farm has its grindstone. The one owned by the Bentley's was an 'exasperating affair, and I recall it with somewhat painful memories. It was small, requiring many revolutions to reach desired results; it was worn until the shape had lost the original symmetry; the crank was of iron, bruising one's hand by friction, albeit worn to an unnatural smoothness by generations of small boys; it uttered the most agonizing squeaks, as if complaining of its hard lot in life, and I was so familiar with these ejaculations that I always kn just when they were coming; and to make the matter yet worse, were that possible, the bench or frame wheron it was mounted was entirely too low for comfort, and one had to bend one's back to the work.

In harvest time, turning day by day this wheezr old stone to sharpen the scythes of the of the gleaners, though it made head and heart and back and arms ache I perceived something the careless harvest hands could not see, though it was within the touch of their noses the Cosmos. The drops of water, flying at a curved tangent, signified much to the one who patiently followed the lead disclosed. I took, in imagination and here is the true use of the imagination, let us bear in mind that old grindstone into the realms of space, far from the influence of the attraction or the repulsion of other bodies, and pouring water on it, sometimes turning the crank rapidly, sometimes siowly, watched the results with much interest. With an increasing speed the water seemed to run backward, but this I knew was the stone running from the water, which, as the speed became constant, would presently catch up with it: with, a decreasing speed the water appeared to run forward, due to the momentum acquired by it; at a certain rate of rapidity the water left the stone, breaking into drops, the centrifugal force having overcome that of gravitation, and. taking the spherical form the particles assembling around their magnetic centers, in obedience to the universal law these drops described a curve around the stone in an ever-widening circle until, checked by the resisting medium which is to be found in all space, they began their returu journey in ever-diminishing circles, attracted by that mysterious influence we call magnetism, and finally found a resting place once more on the surface of the stone.

Here was a revelation of the order of the Universe. As these drops of water leave the surface of the revolving stone and describe curves in the air, so also may worlds be hurled from vast revolving bodies and, given like Conditions, they will be governed by the same laws with unerring precision. Another thing 1 knew though the fact was not perceptible to the phvsical eye the drop of water, as it left the stone, possessed a motion of its own, given by the parting impulse, and turned on an axis in direction opposite to that of the stone. This is susceptible of demonstration by assuming the separation of cogwheels under like circumstances. I also knew the speed of the revolution of the drop wasa diminishing quantity, due to the friction it encountered, and, as a result of this loss of motion, that certain results would follow as a matter of course.

To make this palpable, I will assume the Earth thrown from the Sun and the Moon thrown from the Earth. The Earth, if my assumption Brevities PicJit op Road. Along the The railroads which have been enjoying such a rush of freight traffic of late will be given a little rest after today, as this is practically the last day of "the lake trade. The great lake lines are about to suspend trafiii; for the season, and and although some of the shorter ones will continue to run until forced to tie up by the cold weather, yet they do not reeeive much of their freight from the railroads of this vicinity. A special train passed here yesterday from Pittsburg, containing the officials of the Macbeth Glass Works and Char-leroi Plate Glass Company at Charle-roi.

Georgo Washington Vanderbilt gave a finishing touch to his big estate near Asheville, N. last week by fitting out a conservatory in his North Caro lina mansion with some of the largest palms under cultivation in this coun try. The palms were purchased for Mr. Vanderbilt by his gftrdener from J. M.

Hodgson, the Newport florist, and were shipped in a special freight car from Newport for Ashevilie on Tuesday. For 15 years most of the palms bought by Mr. anderbilt have taken a con spicuous place in the events of summer social life at Newport. At the ball given by Mrs. Willing of Philadelphia, the mother of Mrs.

John Jacob Astor, two seasons ago the palniB were formed into a grove towering high over the heads of the guests and making a trop ical garden the like of which had never before been seen at Newport. Cornelius Vanderbilt frequently made use of some of the giant palms, and they enhanced the attractiveness of many a dance at the Newport Casino. were last used at the ball given by two Frcnoh noblemen a few weeks ago. The statements that one of the palms weighed two tons and that the whole lot cost Mr. Vanderbilt $10,000 are far from being correct.

The purchase included 21 palms and tree ferns, the value of which was 1,500. The palms averaged 15 feet in height and 200 pounds in weight. The collection includes 1 5 tree ferns which Mr. Hodgson imported from Australia years ago. The long dark green leaves of the finest specimens reach 20 feet into tho air.

The others are sago palms of botanic-ally called Cltamrerops exrelsa, tho leaves of which are made into palm leaf fans. Tho leaves of one plant of the latter variety oasure nearly five feet in diameter. Mr. Vanderbilt has transplanted several immense palmetto palms from South Carolina, and when he has finished his palm collecting the young bachelor millionaire will doubtless be able to boast of possessing the finest private conservatory in tho United States.

Frances Willard He-elected. Tuesday's feature of the Woman's Christian Temperance union convention in session at Cleveland was the electi of officers. Miss Frances E. Willard was re elected president by a vote of 30 out of a total of ZW. Representatives of the town of Church- ville, and county of Monroe, then presented Miss Willard with two silver bound gavels made from the house where she was born.

One of the gavels was for herself and the other for Lady Henry Somerset. Miss Willard made a touching reply in which she incorporated a glowing eulogy of motherhood. Mrs. Thurman, a colored woman from Jackson, then presented Miss Willard with a bunch of yellow and white Queen chrysanthemums and made a pretty little speech, connecting the flowers with the loved president of the union. Mrs.

hurman said it was the intention of the women of her race to organize a colored W. C. T. U. and Miss Willard wished them God speed in the work.

A Few Words From Finleyville. Special Correspondence. As already noted, the movement to incorporate Mingo village and territory adjacent, into a borough failed, the Grand Jury refusing by a small majority to sanction the movement. The residents of Union township were considerably divided in their opinions as to the justice of this verdict. A great many of the farmers were outspoken in their sympathies.

On the other hand some of the coal operators were decided in their opposition, aided, it is said, by some outside political influence. Quite a large number of people attended the hearing before the Grand Jury from the township, and all speak highly of the able and gentlemanly manner in which T. Jeff Duncan, conducted the case for the people of Mingo. What the promoters of this scheme will now do is not known, they are a pretty determ ned lot, and may make another effort. There is a growing opposition in this township to the present existing management of affairs, and a citizen's ticket is quietly talked of for the spring election.

be the true one, must turn on its axis in opposition to the like motion of the Sun, and the Moon must have an axial motion similar to that of the Sun. The Earth, turning from west to east, and with diminishing speed, the waters on its surface must flow toward the east, and there should be a difference ia the levels of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, for instance, at the Isthmus of Panama. The diminishing motion will also result in the contraction of the globe, and there will be constant read justments and movements of its crust as a necessary sequence. Ihis means earthquakes innumerable; the wrinkling of the crust into hills and valleys running at right angles or north and south to the line of pressure, which is greatest at the equator and least at the and the constant modification of the spherical form of the Earth; the development of ocean currents to ward the east, deflected by wrinkles or ridges at the bottom of the seas from their normal trend; the ebb and flow of tides, now thought to be due to the attraction of the Sun and the Moon and doubtless affected by this, in part but which may be coincident only to the position of these bodies; and, in passing. I will say there is another thing which complicates the consider-tion ofthis question the retarding influence of the attraction of the Pole Star, and perhaps other bodies, which causes a twisting of the globe, the south end moving faster than the north but this theory I will not at present discuss.

iTo be Continued I A Missing Kinst Story. It would be diflioult to find in tho pages cf fiction anything to equal the following prosaic fact, which has just happened in Scot land: A Captain Heath-cote rents a moor from year to year. Last year while out shooting he lost a diamond ring. This year ho was reminded of it by the anniversary of his loss, and sitting by tho fire and taking up a piece of peat to put on he had scarcely uttered tho words, "It is a year today since I lost my diamond ring, i than his companion was surprised to hear the words quickly followed by "and hero it it. Tho peat had been cut from the very moor where the less had occurred, and honco its recovery.

No other account of extraordinary recovery of diamonds could equal that unless perhaps that of a lady who dropped a diamond into a pond and found it sonio months after on the leaf of water lily which had borne it upward iu its growth. Leeds (England) Mercury. At 12 o'clock Monday night the Citizens Water Company shut off the water in the mains, and for some time Washington will be without a regular water supply, as the effects of the drouth of the past summer and fall have not been obliterated by the recent rains and snows, and the supply is not equal I to the demand. 4 vKwmumMti tM.
