The New York Hcrald's special Washing
ron correspondent makes the following re.
ference to the appointment of our fellow
citizen to the Central American mission:
The President on Saturday appointed
Colonel George Williamson. a native OF
South Carolina but for many years resi-
dent of Louisiana, to be minister resident
to the Central American States. and his
commission was made out and sent to him
at New Orleans. This mission is composed
of Guatemala, Costa Rica. Honduras. Sal
yador and Nicaragua, and the appointment
is made in conformity with the act OF Con-
gress of MAY -. 1872, which provides that
from and after June 80 of this year there
yhall be but one minister resident accredited
20 those places, to reside az some place there
in to be selected by the President. Here
tofore there have been ministers resident
at these places as follows: Silas 4. Hud-
son, at Guatemala; Jacob b. Blair, at
Costa Rica Henry Baxter. at Honduras;
Thomas Dibole, at Salvador, and Charles
N. Riotte, at Nicaragua. each OF whom re-
eeives all annual salary OF SI5o0 The new
minister to the consolidated States Will re-
eeiye a compensation of $4,000. and the
old ones retire from Office June 80. thereby
ga, pg S27 800 annually on the diplomatic
appropriation. Colonel Williamson during
che war was an ardent defender OF the
South and commanded a regiment under
General Kirby Smith in the trans-Missls-
sippi campaign. Since the war he has, like
General Longstreet, not only accepted the
situation" in good faith. but has heartily
supported the Republican party The Presl-
dent takes great interest in fostering
friendly relations between the lT'ted
States and the Central American States.
and his election of Colonel Williamson
was not only on account OF his reported
skill as a diplomatist, bu: because he
believes he would be instrumental
in encouraging more intimate commercial
relations. The State Department is equally
confident that he will so conduct affairs as
to IT fleet credit upon our country. Under
instructions from the Secretary of State
Colonel Williamson will first go to San
Jose, the capital Of Costa Rica; thence to
Leon, Nicaragua; thence to San Salvador.
the capital OF that confederation; to Camf y
aqua, Honduras, and thence to Guatemala,
thence making tour of all the States and
will then report to the Secretary the city,
IN his opinion, most suitable for the perma:
nent establishment of his mission. Colonel
Williamson. whose appointment Is lndorsed
BY Senator West and all the Congressman
elect from Louisiana, will leave tor wash
ingtop in few days to receive final instruc
Sions. lie will then proceed to New York
cake the steamer for Aspipwall. and enter
Npou the duties Of his Office without delay.

it was regarded by the family as a relic
too interesting to be lost, and on We'd
nesday last Mr.. johnson, son of the
ex-President, arrived iii Bristol in quest
of If, and found it safely locked in one
of the A., M. and o. cars, and snugly
billed for distant Virginia town, to
which the aforesaid tailor had already
removed. There was no use for a war
rant detinue, for the service could not
be made, and, as both table and tailor
were in Virginia, an attachment could
not be served.
Did the pursuit end there? Not bit
of it. Learning that day that many OF
the Virginia cars are backed across the
State line to the Tennessee switch in or
der to get them on the proper track,
Mr.. Johnson procured from justice
on the Tennessee side writ OF replevin,
and when this ar was being switched
for it's Virginia journey, there was pres
ent a Tennessee officer, who very dex-
terously switched the table out of it, and
turned it over to the son of the ex-Presi-
dent, who now has it again in Green
ville.-BriStOl (7enn.) NeUs.

But if you want berth, dare say you
could get in here, for I'm getting too
big, and they want little fellow like
you.
"Oh," said Johnny, who was begin
ming to get ever his desire for circus
business, and was now only anxious to
get out of it politely and be off home,
I'm sure I'm very much obliged to
you, well-you know couldn't
go without asking my father and
mother"
"Oh, oh ! " said Billy, with a mis-
chievous twinkle in his eye, which
Johnny couldn't see in the moonlight I;
you're coming the virtuous dodge, are
you? But don't you know that when
circus men want "A chap pretty bad they
don't wait to ask either him or his dad
about it? There bound to get him
away. Hank What's that L guess
they're after you now"
There was little commotion near the
tent door which Johnny did not wait to
see the reason of. Frightened out of
his wits, he ran toward home at the very
top of his speed. Every noise he heard
behind him he fancied was made by his
pursuers, determined to carry him of
and make him circus boy IN spite of
himself. At last he stood under his
window, his heart beating and his
breath quick, very thoroughly cured of
his desire to become one.
Billy lay on his straw, chuclIling in
great glee over Johnny's sudden flight.
I've done the little rascal good
turn, and had a right to joke on him, y
he said, as he curled himself up for a
nap, while Johnny crept into his bed
with wholesome feeling that he might
be much worse off than he was.
The next day he had the bravery tC
tell his mother the whole story. She
was sorry to hear of his wrong-doing il
going out at night without leave, but
thought the lesson might prove of bene
fit to him.
81 suppose the most Billy told yor
was true, she said, "but L think he
was playing joke on you, making yor
think they would steal you. Circus
boys see great deal of hardship anC
toll, and III some cases sntfer grea
cruelty. And they see a great deal o
wickedness, and are led into committing
1t themselves. l want my little boy t,
to grow up to be wise, good man, anC
would rather see him most anything
than a circus boy. "-Chitdren'S Hour

A New Ell Dorado.

A Denver dispatch says Thomas X.
Cree, Secretary of the Board of Indian
Commissioners, arrived here to-day.
he brings with him copy of the Bru-
not-Wright treaty, signed by the Ute
Indians. In company with six Indian
chiefs, Mr.. Cree spent a week i'll ex
ploring the Brunot purchases. They
visited the San Juan mining region, and
report it immensely rich in gold, silver,
copper, lead, iron, and coal. Five hun
dred valuable leads have been located,
and one mine, the only one fully tested,
is yielding, with poor machinery, 81, 900
in gold per day. This mine, the Little
Giant, sold without legal title to a Chi
cago company for $500, 900, and since the
treaty is valued at 81, 100000. 1t is ex-
pected with the improved machinery
now en- route that it will yield $50, 200
gold per week. A mine with better
indications, on the same lead, is being
negotiated for at S450,00O. The ore
from this lead yields from $1,000 to
So, 900 per ton. Another gold lead, I'M
developed, yields $4,000 per ton. The
country is equally rich in silver ore, the
lead being very rich in vein, six feet
thick. There are numerous veins OF
copper cropping out on the surface,
none of which are taken up. Iron and
coal lie in close proximity, the latter OF
superior quality for smelling purposes
Fifty town lots were located on the
news of the treaty being signed. The
country is immensely rich. and, with
capital to develop, is good for 500, 900,
600 of precious metals.
Mr.. Cree and party spent seven days
days in the saddle crossing the tire,
main ranges of the Uncompaigne an(
San Juan mountains, crossing at alti
tudes of II, 500 to 1900 feet, in opel
air, riding through rain and snow, owe,
steep trails and through fallen timber
swamp, and rocks. They report tn,
country the grandest in the world TO
mountain scenery. At one point the,
saw hundred peaks $4,000 to 1900
feet high.

A Strange Duel.

Col Lay (rising with a profound
bow)-Yes, Colonel, L have been en-
gagged in forty-two affairs of honor as
principal and second, and 1 concur with
you fully in your suggestions. 1t is the
duty of second to prevent a resort to
arms if possible. Irecollect in one of
the first duels / ever fought 1 came very
near losing my life by having a fool for
a second. He allowed me to fight the
best swordsman in Europe with rapier.
1, at that time, was not SO proficient as
am now in the use of that weapon, and
considered my life as good as lost, but
met my antagonist, and after parrying
few of his thrusts, was compelled to al
low him to pass his sword entirely
through my stomach, the point coming
out at my backbone. AS L stood thus
transfixed, it occurred to my mind to do
an act which have never heard of be-
ing equaled before or since. l, with my
left hand, with remarkable presence of
mind, GOODNESS and firmness, seized my
adversary's blade, holding it so firmly
that he could neither turn it or pull it
out, and in that position plunged my
sword entirely through my adversarys
left breast up to the hilt, just one inch
and a half above his heart and, what is
remarkable is, that we both recovered.

4 Plea for the Poor.

Poverty puts fearful strain on n
mans honesty. The poor man who
lives an honest life is entitled to more
credit than the man of wealth. The
one is forced to fight against tempta-
tons, which come to him under the
guise of want and necessity the other
has no motive except greed or ambition
to tempt him from the path of rectitude.
Yet when the poor man sins against the
laws of the land how few sympathize
with him, or seek to shield him from
the penalty incurred. He has no
friends, and the heaviest punishment
that can be inflicted is considered light
enough for him. When the prison
doors close behind him, hope is shut
out forever, for he knows that the par
doning power will never be asked to
interfere in his behalf. But the rich
criminal is looked upon as simply I'M
fortunate he is lionized. Justice bows
in his presence, and seems to ask his
pardon for the unpleasant relation
which it bears toward him. If he is
convicted it is an exceptional case; his
sentence is made as light as possible
his prison life is ightened by pleasant
employment and cheerful assurances
that his confinement will be short and
soon he walks forth, the recipient OF
executive clemency. This is wrong.
If any distinction is to be made in the
treatment of criminals, we would favor
leniency to the poor and severity to the
rich. The one may have been driven to
the commission of the crime by cruel
want the other has no reasonable ex.
cuse. AS Poor Richard" says, cts
hard to make an empty sack stand up.
right" This describes the condition OF
poor man perfectly. An empty stom
ach, starving family, a forlorn garret
or cellar, are serious obstacles to per
feet integrity. If we would repress
crime among the poor, we must frs
seek to better their condition; affort
them means of obtaining an honest liv
ing, and few will prefer from choice t.
seek dishonest one. The poor MAJ
should receive good wages for his labor
and should not be robbed, as too man,
now are, by the wealthy and avaricious
We believe the largest per cent. of hon
esty is found among the poor of the land
Remove the causes which induce Grim
among the lower classes, and the pen
centage of crime will be extremely small

An Ugly Customer.

The San Diego World tells of ter
rible combat between California
lioness and Jake Bergman, a Supervisor
of that county. One day last July Berg
man was aroused by the peculiar noises
of his stock. He looked down the val
ley and saw his cattle grouped together
in a hollow square, the calves in the
center. A rampant of horns was pre-
scented to whatever danger might
menace. He left the house without
arming himself, and in passing a clump
of trees was attackedbya large California
lioness. The ferocious animal mastered
him, and tore his breast and arms. An
Indian servant arrived to the rescue
The honess pounced on the Indian. and
was mangling him fearfully, when Berg
man struck the beast on the head with a
heavy club, killing it. The lioness
measured six feet from the nose to the
tip of the tail. On being cut open its
stomach was found to be empty, leading
to the conclusion that it had been made
unusually ferocious by hunger.

The Foot of a Horse.

The human hand has often been
taken to illustrate divine wisdom-and
very WELL But have you ever examined
your horses hoof? 1t is hardly less
curious in its way. It's parts are some
what more complicated, yet their design
is simple and obvious. The hoof is
not, as it appears to the careless eye, a
mere lump of insensible bone, fastened
to the leg by Joint. 1t is made up of
a series of thin layers, or leaves of horn,
about five hundred in number, and
nicely fitted to each other, and forming
lining to the foot itself. Then there
are as many more layers belonging to
what is called the "coffin- and
fitted into this. These are elastic.
Take quire of paper and insert the
leaves one by one into those of another
quire, and you will get some idea of
the arrangement of the several layers.
Now, the weight of the horse rests on
as many elastic springs as there are
layers in his four feet-about four thou
sand ; and all this is contrived, not only
for the conveyance of his own body, but
for whatever burdens may be laid on
him.

A Wife Shoots Her Husband.

Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch Hill, of Worces-
ter, Mass, walked out by themselves on
Sunday week, and on their way engaged
in an angry discussion of certain un-
pleasant domestic relations. Their talk
continued ill-natured until they had
arrived within but short distance of
their home, when Mrs. Hill asked her
husband to take her sun-shade, and,
having given it to him, she put her
hand in her pocket, took out pistol,
unnoticed by him, and said, "Let me
kiss YOU" AS she said this she reached
her arm around behind him, and, with
the pistol but few inches from his
back, fired ball into his left side.
Both the husband and wife were indus
trious, intelligent people, and bore ex-
cellent regulations in the community in
which they lived. The shot has not
proved fatal as yet, but fears are enter
tanned that the man cannot recover, as
the ball has probably lodged in his left
lung, beyond the reach of probing.
