years since, on the same charitable errand.
The sesd thus sown among % have since
terminated. Steps are now taken Tor one
within our borders.
Nine years ago We had tho pleasure OF
spending an evening with her. She then
said ifher life was spared, she intended to
beseech every State where there was no
asylums for the insane, for the erection OF
one. Seven States since then through her
iesssumsntaliiy and perseverance, have er-

committed to the project, with promise 10

Mr.. Brown loved to draw the coppers
from Cyrus Butler's huge purse. He would
rive away thousand dollars 1t any time
foe charitable purpose, provided . like
amount could be obtained from bis friend
B., millionaire, who was noted niser.
Nr. Brown beaded the subscription with

that the institution was TO take the name
Of the largest subscriber. He thought 10
that way Do would entrap his friend Butler
"a larger sum than he had put down. He
succeeded.
Miss Dix repeatedly called on Mr.. But

without using his pen. She had learned
his character and determined to importune
the old bachelor until she obtained noble

FRIED MUsKMELoS-The following ex-
tract Of dialogue from the Horticuturisl
is something quite new to US. Fried musk
melon! Il reads badly, but they say i,
tastes delightfully."-.
Here is the extract:
Editor.-What is to be done with these
small green melons. which see your man
gathering in his basket It is 30 late now
that they will not ripen, and they are the
perquisities ofthe pigs, doubtless.
STANDARDIZATION never made greater
mistske. For the pigs! No, il they were
Westphalia oil over. Why, that is the
most delicious vegetable we have at this
season Of the year. SHUTTER would not
melt in your mouth" more quickly than
that vegetable, as you shall have il served
yyon my table today.
Editor.-Pray, what do you mean?
Subscrber.-That these tardy after-crop
musk-meIons, trampIed under foot and fed
to the pigs are the greatest delicacy Of the
season.
Editor-Fricaseed, ! suppose; or "cut
and dried" for winter usei
Subscriber.-By no means; bat simply
cut 10 slices, about the fourth Of an inch
thick, and fried exactly ia the same man
ncr as elephants. Whoever tastes then,
30 prepared, will Immediately make mem
orsndum that egg plants are thenceforward
salooed, and that melons, brightly under
stood, " are as melting savory in their ten
der infancy as they are luscious md sugary
ia their ripe maturity.
An INCIDENTAL few days since, when
il was doubtful who would be elected off.
GERS Of the Pennsylvania State Senate, a
venerable old man. Capt. VIM. P. Brady,
for the two previous years, .ho faithful
WING messenger of that body, entered with
log Of wood 10 his arms, which he com
menced placing in the stove.
Al that moment Gen. Packer, Democrat
ofLycoming, started to his feet as if moved
by galyanic battery, and addressed th.
Speaker 10 an appeal on behalf Of Capt. Bra
dy; "Sir," said MIR. Packer, ssCaptain Bra
dy has seen better days--he is nephew O
General Hugh Brady Of the United States
Army. He was gallan. soldier the wal
Of 1872, and participated in solne Of the Sc
verest conflicts that occurred on the north
western frontier. He was wounded i:
tie memorable action Of the 10th Of Sep
TENDER, 1912, on Lake Erie, and here Sit
(holding up aiarge silver medal,) is the med
al presented 10 him by the Legislature {
Penney lyania, for his bravery on that oe
casion. He now asks bet to make you
fires, and minister to your comfort, and cal
you refuse him?" The effect Of this nppea
was electrical--the sympathetic chord i
every Senator'S bosom was touched. Cap
Brady was retainedypend every mar fe
that ct least one act Of justice and kins
sess bad been done on that day."

Col. R R. M. johnson.

The Frankfort correspondent Of the Louis
vile Journal, in his letter Of the 2lst inst:
has the following brief sketch Of the main
points in Col, Johnson's history: IN .;a5,
The mortal remains of Richard M, John
son were on yesterday deposited in the States
mound in the Frankfort cemetery.
Col. Johnson was born in l779, He re-
ceived his education at Transylvania Univef-
sity, The law was chosen by him as his oc-
cupation, and the study of it commenced by
him under Col Geo Nicholas, but he died be-
fore the completion thereof, and Hon. James
Brown was his last preceptori Col. johnson
commenced the practice of the law in Scott
county, and was elected to the Legislature be-
fore he was 81 years old. At "a he was cleo
ted to Congress. When the war Of 1912
broke out he was a member Of that body, but
left for home, raised battalion and marched
to the frontier. He was disappointed in an
opportunity for an engagement and returned
to his seat, On the adjournment Of Congress
he raised d regiment and marched to the Dor
der of the Ohio. In 1913 this regiment with
the Colonel at its head, aeteda distinguished
part in the battle Of Thames. In 1914 he re-
sumed his seat in Congress. In 1919 was e.
lected 10 the u. S. Senate, and on the expira-
ton of his term was unanimously reelected.
In 1886 he was elected Vice President Of the
United States, On the expiration Of his term
in that distinguished post, he retired to his
farm in Scott county, and remained un-
til he was elected, in l84l, to the Kentucky
Legislature, and again in 1850, without oppo-
sition. In the discharge Of this last duty he
