Resisting any proffers of assistance,
he began to fill in the grave, turning his
back upon the crowd, that after a few
moments's hesitation gradually with
drew. As they crossed the little ridge
that hid Sandy Bar from view, some,
looking back, thought they could see
Tennessee's Partner, his work done, sit
ting upon the grave, his shovel between
his knees, and his face buried in his red
bandanna handkerchief. But it was
argued by others that you couldn't tell
his face from his handkerchief at that
distance; and this point remained IN
decided.
In the reaction that followed the fever
ish excitement of that day, Tennessee's
Partner was not forgotten. A secret in
vestigation had cleared him of any COM
plicity in Tennessee's guilt, and left on
ly a suspicion of his general sanity
Sandy Bar made point of calling on
him, and proffering various uncouth,
but well-meaIt kindnesses. But from
that day his rude health and great
strength seemed visibly to decline; and
when the rainy season fairly set in, and
the tiny grass-blades were beginning to
peep from the rocky mound above Ten
nessee's grave, he took to his bed.
One night, when the pines beside the
cabin were swaying in the storm, and
trailing their slender fingers over the
roof, and the roar and the rush of the
swollen river were heard below, Tennes-
sees Partner lifted his head from the
pillow, saying, at is time to go for Ten
nessee; 1 must put Jimmy in the cart +;
and would have risen from his bed but
for the restraint of his attendant Strug-
Cling. he still pursued his singular fancy :
''There, now, steady, Jimmy, steady,
old girl. How dark it is Look out for
the ruts,-and look out for him, too. old
gal. Sometimes, you know, when he's
blind drunk, he drops down right in the
trail. Keep on straight up to the pin4
on the top of the hill. Thar told
you so thar he is,-coming this way,
too.-aH by himself, sober, and his face
a-shining. Tennessee Pardner!"
And so they met.

A sAHARA sAND sToRm.

wanted to see one of those awful
storms which are said to be so violent
in the great desert that men, and some
times caravans, arc buried alive beneath
the immense masses of sand. The men
were not mistaken. The wind, which
had been blowing lightly in an east
northeast direction, began to increase
gradually, till at last it blew a perfect
gale. The sand began to fy, and the
storm increased still more. The air
soon became murly with sand which
few toward the sea like a thick fog. 1t
was a grand and splendid sight The
light Of the day had become quite dim,
because the suns rays could hardly
pierce the clouds Of sand. 1t continued
blowing for several hours. The wind
was hot my lips became parched and
my eyes sore, as in spite of my thick
veil, the sand penetrated everywhere,
Now that had seen genuine sand
storm, hoped that the wind would mod
crate. Little hilloclSs and mounds were
formed here and there, and our wells
were filed up with drifting sand. The
sand got into my clothes through every
opening in them. II filed my hair, my
nose, my ears, and even my mouth.
It covered everything in our camp, and
completely spoiled our food; but we had
to eat it as it was. as there was no choice.
Toward evening the wind gradually
calmed down, and by the time the sun
had set below the horizon nature became
quiet again. The sand storm Of the
desert was over, and | was glad I had
seen it.-DH Ch0iliif.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Chairman.
PERSONNEL OF THE SAN DOMINGO
COMMISSION.


WASHINGTON, January 19.-The San
Domingo Commission is now COM
plete. Mr.. Wade is to be Chairman Of
the Commission, and Professor An
drew White, of Cornell University,
and DIR. Samuel G.. Howe, of Boston,
notified by telegraph, to-day, that he
had been appointed, and he was direct
ed, in case of his acceptance, to repair
to New York in time to sail on Tues
day. It is understood that he has
since notified the President of his ac-
ceptance. Although General SigeI has
accepted the Sccretaryship of the Com
mission, he has since, for reasons not
given to the public, declined Hon.
Allen G. Burton, of Kentucky, who is
now in the city, was accordingly ap-
pointed in his stead, and has accepted.
He was formerly United States Minis
ter of Bolivia, and is gentleman OF
high attainments. Owing to the delay
in forming the Commission, the expe-
dition will not sail until Tuesday
The Commission, as now formed, is
generally spoken of here with favor,
and in view of the fact that the Presi-
dent has never met any of the gentle
men appointed, except Mr.. Wade, it Is
conceded that he has acted with a sim
gle purpose of having the resolutions
of Congress carried out in good faith.
DIR. Samuel G.. Howe is the we'll
head of the Massachusetts State Asy-
lums for the blind and the deaf and
dumb. In early as well as later life he
has been the friend of Greece, carrying
American contributions to that eoun-
try when struggling for independence,
serving with Lord Byron at the time,
and more recently aiding the gallant
Cretans in the same way. He is known
as lifelong Abolitionist, and was o
practical friend of the Kansas Free
State men, and of John Brown in par
! ticular. He is the lifelong friend of
/ Senator Sumner, and his appointment
gives great satisfaction to the Massa-
| chusetts delegation. Senator Wilson
and others declare that no man could
have been nominated in whom the
! people of this State, as we'll as the
| country, would have more confidence.
DIR. Howe is known to be an excel
/ lent Spanish scholar, and accompanied
1 by his wife, Julia Ward Howe, has
spent much time in Cuba and other
West India Islands, Washington Dis

GovERNORsHIP or ONO.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January H.
There are a number of candidates for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor Of Ohio. and the question is one
in which the Ohio delegation in Con-
gress and other politicians from that
State, now in Washington. take an ac-
tive interest. General Garfield will not
accept the nomination, and General
John Beatty also declines, preferring to
remain in Congress. to which he is elect
ed for a third term. Representative
Welker, who is not returned to the next
Congress, is understood to be a candi-
date. Mr.. Stanley Mathews, of Cincin-
natl, Hon. Samuel Galloway, of Colum-
bus, General Ralph Buckland, of San
dusky, and General Jno. c. Lee, the
present Lieutenant Governor, are also
supposed to be in the field. The Con
vention will probably be called for an
early day in June.

MISS WINNIE RRAMs' STATUE OF
LINCOLN

Has been formally accepted by the
of the Interior, and placed in
charge Of the architect of the Capitol.
The uncouth scaffolding that conceals it
from view will be removed in a few
days, and the public win be invited to
witness the unveiling of the statue. Miss
Beam wishes it to remain permanently
in its present position in the rotunda,
but it will probably be placed in the old
Hall Of Representatives or in one Of the
many vacant inches with which the
Capitol abounds. The inches at the foot
of the grand stairway leading to the gal
lery on the western side of the House
wing is thought to be the most appropri-
ate station Washington DiSbafch.
