A STUDY IN STILL LIFE. \ i THE DOINGS OF ONE CLASS OF LAW- ! DEFYINC CITIZENSDesperate Moonahiners who Hold an Armed j Camp oa the Virginia-North Carolina j Border. iifew York World.j More tlian two hundred moonshiners have established a fortified ouinp in Franklin county, Virginia, and /-vrvnlv rl^fv tVif n.nf.horifips of the United States. They have over one hundred illicit stills in operation and are producing thousands of barrels of whiskey on "which no duty to Uncle ? Sam is paid. The manufacture of illicit whiskey has been carried on more or less extensively throughout the South for a good many years, but the contraband stills have been conducted on a small scale in the hidden recesses of the A , Ti _ 1 1 mountains, jli nas ax ways ueen a comparatively easy matter for the revenue officers to capture and break up these stills whenever they could locate them. The camp in Franklin county is an exception, however. Several attempts have been made within the last two years by the revenue officers to capture this moonshine stronghold, but without success. On each occasion the officers have been driven off. Success has made v\/-\lrl tk/iv 4- it Wio UVXU. JL J-Cv> JLUIVC V ^4recruits from the criminal class all over the country, and it is believed that it would require a force of two hundred men to dislodge and break up their stills. The g.mg is composed of ex-convicts, desperadoes. and the most daring and desperate o: cutthroats ever collected together. They are a menace to the community and have committed numerous outrages in addition to the running of illicit stills. The place selected tor then- operations is well suited for their purpose. Franklin county is on the border between Virginia and North Carolina. It is sparsely settled and mountainous. Encircling one of the lesser mountains near the North Carolina line are two streams boasting of the poetical names of "Shooting Creek" and "JRunnit Bag." The waters of these two creeks supply one hundred odd illicit stills of the gang. From the top of the mountain one can command a view of the surrounding country in every direction. Guards arc stationed all around the camp, and it is impossible for any one to approach within a half a mile of the place without being seen. The moment an alarm is given tne outlaws repair to the top of the mountain and prepare for a fight. They are well equipped for defensive operations. They are (JT armed with the latest improved breech loading rifles, shot guns and revolvers. They have built a small fort and are in a position to stand a long siege. It is stated on good authority that they have recently mounted two or three cannon in the tort. ?ivery person travelling through that part of the State, no matter -what his business may be, is escorted by an armed guard across this district. He is met at the borred and is not permitted to go anywhere alone until he leaves the moonshiners' territory. This attention is shown to every visitor not known to be a member of the gang. The World correspondent is credibly informed that two-thirds of the regular distillers in Virginia and North Carolina are seriously embarrassed in their business by reason of the production of so much illicit whiskey. Their sales have fallen off more than fifty per cent, and they are calling loudly on the government for protection. As t*he government officers are well aware of the existence of the moonshiners' stronghold in Franklin county the question might be asked, "Why don't they take steps to break it up'?" The revenue force isn't sufficient to enforce the lsvr, and red tape and a - scarcity of money ^prevent any decisive action by tns department at "Washington. Althou<A there is pre sumably a large surplus^ the treasury, the appropriation for tfte revenue service has nearly run outNfor the fiscal year ending June 30, ancc. there is no money available to emp^^y a large enough force to break up t'^e Franklin county camp. The revenue, officers know by experience that it is V practically useless to send a posse of fifteen or twenty men out there, as they could accomplish nothing but their own destruction. 'Tf the commissioner had any funds left at his disposal/' said a revenue officer to The World correspondent, 1 "he would authorize us to engage a ; sufficient force to break up the camp; but he hasn't, and unless Cor<5*c=? comes to our rescue we will*'be powerless to do anything, -oefore the 1st of July, when tiae "appropriation for the next fjvtfal year will be available. r~. .For t?j$ past three or four years Congress has cut down our appropriation so low that we have been compelled to reduce our force of men about onehalf. At no time since the war has there been so much, illicit whiskey made as at the present time, and it is i t ,3 j. - xi : i: uue tu tiit; cxippojLug ui j_Liternal revenue sen-ice by Congress. As long as the internal revenue laws are on the statute books Congress should make sufficient provisions to enforce them. An effort is being made in Washington now to induce Congress to pass a special appropriation to meet the Franklin county case." If the present state of affairs should continue six months longer, most of the lawfully registered distilleries in this part of the country wmiM hp comnplled to susnend. "Franklin county to-day is completely under the control of the cutthroat gang of moonshiners. One illicit distillery has a more demoralizing effect on a locality than a hundred licensed saloons. In the one case the men meet after dark in secret and drink the raw whiskey until they are hopelessly drunk. It is cheap, and they drink a great deal more than if thev went to a regular saloon. We f will not be able to capture the Franklin county camp, however, unless - Congress comes to our aid. It is hard enough to get men to go with us on raiding parties when we have money to pay them, as the government makes no provision for a man's family if he nappens to get killed or even pay his doctor's bills if he is wounded. You see the inducement to join the government forces is not very great under the most favorable circumstances." A woman, says Sheridan, may be idle, but slie is never a loafer.

When however Lord j Lislfe has scored a grand victory, and all the players declare themselves j thoroughly exhausted and in need of ! refreshments, Sir Adrian comes for- i ward, and walks straight up to Miss ! Delmaine, to Dora's intense chagrin and the secret rage of Arthur Dynecourt. ''You have often asked to Fee the 'haunted chamber.'" he says; "why not come and visit it now? It isn't much to i T J. _*:n I see. you Kiiow; UUt Mill, ill a ^JLUJOCijr sense" it is. I suppose, interesting." "Let us make a party anil go together," suggests Dora, enthusiastically clasping "her hands?her favorite method of showing false emotion of any kind. She is determined to have her part in the programme, and is equally determined that Florence shall go nowhere alone with Sir Adrian. "What a capital idea!" puts in Arthur Dynecourt, coming up to Miss Delnaaiiie, and speciallv addressing her with all the air o*f a rightful owner. "Charming," mutters a young lady standing by; and so the question is settled. "It will be rather a fatiguing journey, mil lrr?nnr " Ciir<; ("Vnt.liti lvinfTW'OO(1. confidentially, to Ethel Villiers. "It's an awful lot "of stairs; I've been there, so I know all about it?it's worse than the treadmill." "Have vou been there too?" demands Miss Ethel saucily, glancing at him from under her long lashes. "Not yet," answers the captain, with a little' grin. "But, I say, don't go? will vou?" "I must; I am dying to see it," replies Ethel. "You needn't come, you know; I dare say I shaii be able to get on without you for half an hour or so." "I dare say you could get on uncommonly well* without me forever," retorts the captain rather gloomily. To himself he confesses moodily that this girl with the auburn hair and the blue eyes has the power or taking tne "curi out of him" whensoever wishes. "I believe you are ai> ! of the bogies hidden in this secret chamber, and so don't care to come." says Miss Villiers tauntingly. "I know something else I'm a great deal more afraid of" responds the gallant captain meaningly. "Me?"' she asks innocently, but certaiulv coquettishly. "Oh, Captain Ringwood"?in a tone of mock injury? "what an unkind speech! Xow I know you look upon me in the light of an ogress, or a wit^h, or something equally dreadful. ell, as I have the name o"f it.. ns well have the gain of it, and so mmandyouto attend me to the * eu chamber.'" "You . ?I obey." says the captain. and I follow?I follow, though I die!'" After which quotation he accompanies her toward the house in the wake of Dora and Sir Adrian, who has been pressed by the clever widow into her service. Florence and Arthur Dynecourt follow them. Arthur talking gayly, a3 though determined to ignore the fact that he is thoroughly unwelcome to his pAmnanimv Flrvrfm-p with PTfict and haughty footsteps and eyes carefully averted. Past the hall, through the corridor, up the staircase, through the galleries, along more corridors they go. laughing and talking eagerly, until they come at last to ail old and apparently much disused part of the house. Traversing more corridors, upon which dust lies thickly, they con.6 at last to a small iron-bound door that blocks the end of one passage. "Xow we really begin to get near it," says Sir Adrian encouragingly, turning as* he always does, when opportunity otters, to address himself solely to Florence. ' JUon z you teei creepy-creepy." asks Ethel Villiers, with a smothered laugh, looking up at Captain Ringwood. Then Sir Adrian pushes open the door, revealing a steep llight of stone steps that leads upward to another door above. This door, like tha lower one. is bound with iron. "This is the tower," explains Sir Adrian, still acting as cicerone to the Small party, who look with interest abound them. Mrs. Talbot, affecting ni\rvousne s, clings closely to Sir Ad rial" 5 Aliuecu lb UCUilWIIg im her own mind whether it would be effective or otherwise to subside into a prj iceful swoon within his arms. "YonQen is the door of the chamber," continues Sir Adrian. "Come let us go up to At." They all ascend the last flight of stone stairs: and presently their host opens the door, and reveals to them whatever mystery may lie beyond. He enters first," ana they all follow him, but as if suddenly reeolleeting some important point, he turns, and calls loudly to Captain Ringwood not to let the door shut behind him. "There is a peculiar spring in the lock," he explains a moment later: and. if the door slammed to. we should lind it impossible to open it from the inside, and might remain here prisoners forever unless the household came to the rescue." "Oh. Captain Ringwood. pray be careful!" cries Dora falteringiy. "Our very lives depend upon your attention!" "Miss Villiers, do come here and help me to remember my duty." says Capt. Ringwood, planting liis" back against the open door lest by any means it should shut. The chamber is round, and has, instead of windows, three narrow apertures in the walls, through which can be obtained a glimpse of the sky, but of notmng eise. inc-se apertures are just large enough to admit a man's hand. The room is without furniture of any description, and on trie boards the dark stains of bluod are distinctly visible. "Dvneeourt. teil them a story or two," '-alls out Ringvvood to Sir Adrian. "They won't believe it is veritably haunt-*-! un<rss you call up a ghost to'l'righle:; l. -in." But they ;iil i?r?;Ust in a bodv thai if] jit i/iiey uu nut wisu iu iirin ?uiv stories, so Sir Adrian laughingly refuses to comply with Ringwood's request. "Are we jar from the other parts of the house?" asks Florence at length, who has been examining some writing on the walls. "So far that, if you were immured here, no cry. however loud, could penetrate the distance," replies Sir Adrian. "You are as thoroughly removed from the habitable parts of the castle as if you were in the* next county." "How interesting!" observes Dora, with a little simper. "Tlio servants so afraid of this room that they would not venture here | even by daylight." Sir Adrian goes on. : fcYou can see now the dust of yeivrs is j on it. One might be slowly starved to j death here without one's friends being j a bit the wiser." lie lausrhs as he says this. but. lonpr i afterwards, his words come hack to his ! listeners' memories, filling:their breasts i with terror and despair. "I wonder vou don't have this dan- ; gerous lock removed." says Capt. j wood. "It is a regular trap. Some day : you'll be sorry for it." Prophetic words! "Yes; I wish it -were removed," re- ! BTwnds Florence, with a strange quick j shiver. Sir Adrian laughs.

There is that in Arthur j Dynecoiirt's dark and sullen eyes that < strikes her cold with terror and vague forebodings of evil. It is a wicked look that overspreads the man's face?a , cruel, implacable look that seems to freeze her as she gazes at him spellbound. Slowly, even while she m atches him. she sees "hi w turn his glance from her to Sir Adrian in a meaning man- \ ner. as though to let her know that the vile thought that is working in his brain and'is betraying itself oh his face j is intended for liiin. not her. And yet, with this too, he gives her silently to , understand that, if she shows any treachery toward him. he will not leave it unrewarded. Cowed, frightened, trembling at what she knows not, Dora staggers backward, and. laying a hand upon the wall beside her."tries tevregain selfpossession. The others are all talking together, she is therefore unobserved. She stands, stili panting and pallid, trying to collect her thoughts. 1 "Only one thing comes clearly to her. filling her with loathing of herself and an unnamed dread?it is that, by her j own double-dealing and falseness to- < ward ? iorenee. f=ne nas seemeu iu eutei into a compact with this man to be a . companion in whatever crime he may 1 decide upon.

It would be quite a treasure to Lady Betty Trefeld. who raves over the early Britons. It seems rather thrown away upon us. Captain Ringwood, you iJok'as if you had been suddenlv turned into stone. Let me pass, plew.e." "it was uncommonly friendly of Ringwood not to have let the door slam, and so imprisoned us for life," says sir Adrian, wnn a laugn. i am sure we owe him a debt of gratitude." "I hope you'll all pay it," laughs Ringwood. * "It will be a'nice new experience for you to give a creditor something for" once. 1 never pay mv own debts; but that doesn't count. I feel sure you are all going to give me something for my services as doorkeeper." "What shall I give you?" asks Ethel corjuettishly. "I'll tell you by and by." he replies, with such an expressive look that for once the saucy girl has no answer ready, but. blushing crimson, hurries past'him down the stone stairs, where she waits at the bottom for the others. As Florence reaches the door she pauses and stoops to examine the lock. "I wish," she says to Sir Adrian, a pti-niffQ cuViz-ltm,!

She had been looking round her in the dimly lighted stone passage, una ;i;is discovered anorner j door tixed mysteriously in a corner, that has excited her curiosity.

By an Act of the last Legislature the law in regard to rates of interest was so amended that no higher rate than S per cent, per annum may be charged for the hiring of money, the legal rate remaining seven per cent, except upon special agreement. The law did not take effect until the first of March, 1890. Tlie following is a copy of the Law in question: -No greater rate than seven per centum per annum shall be charged, taken, agreed upon or allowed upon any contract arising in this State, for the lining, lending or use of money or other commodity,except upon written contracts wherein, by express agreeuient, a rate of interest not exceeding oight per cent, may be charged. No person or corporation lending or advancing money or other commmodity nr>on a greater rate of interest shall be allowed to recover in any court of this State any portion of the interest so unlawfully charged; and the principal sum, amoimt or value so lent or idvanced, without any interest, shall be deemed and taken by the courts ?f the State to be the true legal debt yr measure of damage to all intents md purposes whatsoever, to be re covered without costs: Provided, that :he provisions of this Act shall not ipply to contracts and agreements entered into, or discounts or arrangements made, prior to the first Df March, 1890."

The Ancient Teutonic Custom as It Still j | Flourishes at Hanover. I i This week there has been an oppor- I tunity to see a market-fair in Hanover, j which occurs oniy thrice a year, and j lasts but two or three days, says a correspondent of the Hartford Courajit. j In fact. I am just returned from wan- j dering about town id a. urizzuug i.uu, , bumping umbrellas in the crowd of j chaffering Hanoverians, and receiving an occasional curse from some booth- j owner because of the unintentional \ but none the less wet stream of water j which my umbrel!a-tip plumped down upon her cakes or candy. The stalls and booths for the display of the wares were to be found in various parts of I the town, according to the nature of the sales: thus live stock was to be had in one section, books in another, "notions" in the third, and so on. To-day I spent my time in the old portion of thecitv, and here the center of bustle and interest was the ancient Market church! From the square upon which this church stands the lines of booths stretched up the streets, radiatiugrigDt and left from the Market square. These booths were hastily rigged affairs, built of boards, with their tops covered with canvas against the rain, so that they looked like a row of Indian wigwams. Every conceivable article, and some inconceivable, were to be purchased along these rows, behind which stood men and women crying up their wares or doling out small portions to the peasant buyer. Before 4 o'clock of this rainy after fw-ay-n flml UUUU LUC Uii liiiUMo n V4V flnred picturesquely in the wind. Through the middle of the streets surged the crowd of buyers, many of them country folk, who had come in solely for the fair. They clattered over the cobble-stones in their sabots and beat down prices with high heart and volubility. Above rose the gray old houses and high over all the venerable and massive church, under whose walls for live centuries humanity was bought and sold, iiveu ana cuea. j.l was a scene for a Dickens and I sighed for his insight and his graphic power of description.

In some cases some magic sign i like "Aus Itaiien" was hung in front j of the booth, and there you are sure to find cheap jewelry, tawdry paintings, or bizarre honse ornaments, those behind the improvised counter being dark, sallow, and melancholy eyed, and wearing large rings in their ears after the manner of their race. There seemed to be no congruity here in the arrangement of the successive stands: beside one exclusively devoted to worsteds would be another where the succulent sausage and the malodorous but beloved limburger reigned, supreme, ami a nine larwui on the to}*s of childhood hobhobbed with a murderous array of knives,' big and little, ranging from the tiny nailtrimmer to the long, keen blade of the hog-killer. The motley sales and sights only made the scene richer and a characteristic picture of foreign street lifoI am told that the articles to be bought at these fairs, though cheap, are shoddy and unreliable, and are avoided by the wily citizens, the chiof proiit accruing from the open-mouthed couutry bumpkins who judge by outside show and the oily assurances of the proprietors. DUTIES OF LADIES' MAIDS. \vnat New York .Society Women Require at Their Hands?Their Compensation. "NTaw YnrL- lot tor to t ho. Xew Orleans Picayunc: The duties of a lady's maid, says one of them, are almost constant, if seldom heavy. One may have leisure for half a day or scarcely get a breathing' spell of ten minutes in twenty-four hours. There is not a great deal of variation. I get up at 7 in the morning and am through my bath and toilet in time for breakfast at 8. Immediately afterward I take a pot of chocolate and the morning papers to my mistress and while she drinks the chocolate I read from the papers aloud. Her mail is brought up at 9 and I manicure her hands while she reads it. Then I prepare her bath and afterward arrange her hair and dress her for her 10 o'clock breakfast. While the chambermaid is doing up her room I arrange her toilet brushes and boxes and get out her aftei'noon dress. I have my dinner at noon. If my mistress feels like napping after luncheon I read her to sleep. If she goes shopping I usually accompany her. At 3 I dress her for her afternoon drive, and at 6 for dinner. I have supper at 7, and the evening is generally my own, but I go to bed early when my mistress is out, because when she comes home I have to undress her, brush out her hair, give her a cup of hot bouillion, and read her to sleep. Brushing, mending, and making over Anilinfr tn )ior* on/? IICJl tv iivi u*?\a looking after her linen take up most of my spars time. Sunday afternoon I always have to myself, and altogether I am very well satisfied. Ladies who require the attendance of maids have to treat them with a certain degree of consideration in order to keep them. Once I lived with a woman who would not open her eyes in the morning until I had bathed them with rosewater, and who compelled me to brush her feet for her. I found out that before her marriage she did all the housework for her father and a family of several children, ana tne discovery so irritated me that I soon coujurcd up a pretext for leaving her. The lady's maid in most households ranks with the housekeeper and butler, and is not required to eat in the kitchen. Her average pay is $25 a month, but if she fulfills all requirements the very weakhy often give her $50, or even more. If she is a capable dress-maker and milliner it is a positive economy to retain her at high wages. English maids who have lived with the aristocracy are the first choice with New York women at present. They are able to give points. All the YanderWlts hnvA maids whn havft lived in the families of English noblemen, and as much may bo said, with slight limitations, of the Astors Lorillards. and other families. Mrs. William Waldor! Astors personal attendant formerly waited upon the queen of Italy and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt had one who served Lady Churchill. Recently a lady's maid was discharged because she was mistaken for her mistress when tiie two wore out together. Another was sent flying because she accidentally pulled her mistress1 hair while brushing it. A third discharged herself because her mistress insisted that she should administer a hypodermic injection of morpMue every night.

Thp <rala dresses are not startling, t Here is a dignified old gentleman arrayeil in a second-liaaa tunic of a fj marine, in much the surne plight us to buttons as its owner is to teeth: near him stands :i Hue young village policeman. whose official gravity is not enhanced by the swallow-tailed coat of a nigger minstrel, while the background is taken up by a bevy of village maidens clad in gorgeous velvet pinafores, who are g'g^ling after the manner of their white sisters until they are fixed by the stern gray eye of the chief policeman, WHICH turns men cajjacosion into one of that preternatural solemnity they wear in church. The court-house, a native building carpeted with mats, is now packed with natives, sitting cross-legged, only a small place being reserved in front of the table for the accused and witnesses. The magistrate takes his seat, and his scribe, sitting on the lloor at his side, prepares his writing materials to record the sentences, j.ue uiguiiv >vuh nu^u the old man :uljusts his shirt collar and clears his throat is a little marred when he produces from his bosom what should have been a pair of pince-nez, seeing that it was secured by a string round his neck, but is, in fact, a jewsharp. With the soft notes of this instrument the man of law is wont to beguile the tedium of :t dull case. But, although the spectacle of Lord Coleridge gravely performing on the jewsharp in court would at least excite surprise in England, it provokes no smile here. The first ease is called on. Refiomnok And Timothe UUIU.IUU wUl 10 1V1 uviu produced two meek-faced youths of 18 and 19, who, sitting tailor fashio* before the table are charged with fowl stealing. They plead "not guilty," and the owner of the fowls being sworn, deposes that, having been awakened at night by the voice of a favorite hen in angry remonstrance, he ran out of his house, and after a hot chase, cr.pt ured the accused red-handed in two senses, for they were plucking his hen while still alive. Quite unmoved by this tragic tale, Vatureba seems to listeu only to the melancholy notes of lis jews-harp: but the witness is a chief a:xl a man of influence withal, and a period of awed silence follows his accusation, broken 011I3' by a subdued t\vfln<rin?r from the bench. - ' ?o o But Vaturebsrs eyes are bright and piercing, and "they have been lixed for some minutes on the wretched prisoners. He has not yet opened his lips during the ease, and as the jewsharp is not capable of much expression, it is with some interest we await the sentence. Suddenly the music ceases, the instrument is withdrawn from the mouth, t-ie oracle is about to speak. Alas! he utters but two words, "Yula i tolu" ("three months), and there peals out a malignantly triumphant strain I from the jewsharp. But the prose- I cutor starts up with a protest. One of the accused is his nephew, he explains, and he only wished a light sentence to be imposed. Three months for one fowl is two too severe; besides, if he has three months he must go to the central jail and not work out his sentence in his own district. Again there is silence, and the jewsharp has changed from triumph into thoughtful melancholy. At length it is withdrawn, and oracle speaks again: "Bogi tola" ee days.)?CornkilL Magazine. The Terrible Tcherkesses. The Teherkesses?the term now most used in Europe to designate the different Caucasian tribes?are a wild, bellicose, and rapacious nation. The Tcherkess is a warrior in his very soul, 1 sly. cruel, and blood-thirsty. The sufferings of an enemy awaken in him ' only a sensual smile of enjoyment. He tortures his prisoner, kills him, and mumaies miu lerrimy. now uaauj loved comrades have I found with their arms twisted out of joint, and other parts of t heir bodies cut off and stuck in their mouths! The Tcherkess is not a fanatic, but be is a great fatalist; and now he is in the Russian service he attacks with the same ruthless ardor and blood-thirstiness the Mussulman with whom thirty years ago he used to fight side by side against the Russians. He alwa}*s seeks to attack his enemy on the sly, but when he does not succeed in surprising him, he dashes upon him and displays prodigious courage.. Tcherkess boys are trained from their I tenderest vears to ride and handle I weapons. The Tcherkess horseman will rush at full gallop into a small court-yard, and not turn feis horse until he strikes his nose against the wall. In the same way he will gallop toward a precipice, and turn his horse only when his forefeet are over the abyss. All the Tcherkess games and dances are of a warlike nature. One of the most picturesque sights one can imagine is a Tcherkess fete, when these tall, dariv-skinned men, handsome and mnconlor wifh thoir a\tr#vr/1? and rw">n?. iards drawn, execute their favorite dance, the "Lesginka," around a lire, which, with its red glare, lights up their strong features and illumines the surrounding woods and roc?s. A favorite game is to leap on horseback over the tire when the flame is at its highest. All the natives of the Caucasus can';,' arms up to the present day. and the Russian government linds it prudent rot to iuterfere with this usage. Still it must appear strange to one who travels for the first time in the Caucasus to tind himself surrounded by people who are all armed to the teeth. Doubtless che Caucasus is pacified, but travelling there is not completely safe. The Tataros aud Kurds in the southern Caucasus, and the Jangouches in the northern districts, often indulge in brigandage. Iu European warfare the Tcherkesses are very useful on outpost duty and as skirmishers. Even in open battle they can make very successful charges. In e last Turkish campaign it happened ;oe that a trench occupied by the i'urks was attacked by a battalion of infantry, but the deadly fire prevent ing thein from reaching ihe intrenchments, order was given to the Jangouche militia to mount to the attack, and they simply dashed upon the enemy like a hurricane, leaped over the defences, and massacred the Turks inside.?Harper's Magazine.
