pleasure of once more meeting his
master was too great to be enjoyed
all alone so he quickly turned his
course in the direction of his companion
in the woods, and in full speed made his
way to the tree, and communicated to
the large dog the fact of his young mas
ters arrival home; when in an instant,
both dogs we're making for the house
with all their might, the larger one, who
remained at the tree, taking the lead,
and not Stacking his speed until he
bounded into the room where Sidney
was. The strange part of this story con-
sists in the fact that the small dog not
only communicated to the large one
that Sidney had come home, but in some
way told him the identical room in which
he could find him as he ran around the
house and in at the very door where Sid
ney was sitting, without ever halting or
even turning his head toward several
other doors which he had to pass IN
making the circuit.

piled the river villages with provisions.
These were found for miles, wrecked in
company with barrels of pork, -four.
whisky and such other articles as would
float. The crews of these were in all
probability many of them lost. and it is
known that a Tennessean' wife and
seven children were all drowned, himself
barely escaping by plank, after the
boat capsized, while another family
named Gascock-six in all-perished
miserably in the storm at Island l6. In
correspondence between Prof. A. ID.
Hager, of St. Louis and Mr.. Lesieur, in
1871, on this subject, the latter gentle
man states there were indications on the
surface of the ground that there had
been no earthquakes previous to 1911, or
at least not for centuries. Old chiefs of
Shawnees, Cherokees and Delawares had
been questioned on this point, and all
agreed that they had no traditionary
account of any such visitations.
Within the past six months, the river
front has fallen in more rapidly than
in any preceding six months in the past
ton years, as an evidence OF which the
river at one point has encroached one
hundred aud twenty feet in three weeks.
The result is, that the residents who
have been moving back for years, con-
tinue to do so, to location which
called the park, one-fourth of mile
from the river bank But they are used
to it, those good children Of New Madrid
and its vicinity, and are justly proud of
their earthquakes.

CIinching a nargaIn.

The scene is laid in San Francisco.
The merchant is calmly waiting for Gus
toners to drop in, when there appeared
in the street long column Of All Sins
and Chang Loos. Arriving in front Of
the store, slowly and with measured
tread, they ranged them along the sides
Of the apartment, when the following
conversation ensued:
Chang Loo" Have you got any cot
ton twinee2
Merchant" Yes
How muchee charger
A dollar pound.
l givee fifty cent"
Git out.
And without another word being said
on either side they departed as they had
come. In about an hour the same per-
formance was exactly enacted.
Have you got any cotton twinee|
"Yes."
How muchee chargee3"
" A dollar a pound.
II givee seventy FIVE cent.
"Git out
And with charming decorum they i'm
medately got out Now the merchant
was used to this sort of thing. The evil
was one Of long standing, but the remedy
was simple and easily applied Sending
out to neighboring butcher shop for the
loan of cleaver he serenely awaited the
appearance of that happy band, for he
knew they would come; oh yes, they
would certainly come again. Sure
enough he was not disappointed. But a
little while, and all unconscious that
they had been in that store before, or
had ever in the course Of their natural
lives set eyes on that merchant, Chang
Loo, with winning smile, interrogated:
Have you got any cotton twineeY
YES" with wrath
How much chargeeY
(Brandishing a cleaver,) A dol"
Il takee fifty pound, and the trade
was consummated.

A tri color flag on the summit Of Metz
Cathedral, which had been a constant
eyesore to the Germans, was recently
removed, a reward of seventy five dol
lars having been offered for the feat,
which was attended with considerable
danger, as, after the top of the Gothic
tower was reached, two balls had to be
sealed to reach the flagstaff. A man
named Demange, a house painter at
Metz, lately made the attempt and
brought down the obnoxious emblem of
French rule, substituting therefor Ger
man flag of black, white and red. Pre-
viously seven Germans had tried to ac-
complish the task, but two lost their
lives and the other five failed.

Another Case OF VindicatiOn.

The country is getting a little impatient
to know what is to be the result of the
Sanborn INQUIRY. The Committee on
Ways and Means devoted great deal OF
valuable time to the matter, made many
curious discoveries, and presented report
in which the three principal officers OF the
Treasury Department were censured III
very severe terms. But surely the case is
not to stop here. Investigations are trOu-
blesOme and expensive things, and if moth
ing is to come of them except the collec-
ton of materials for the history of Gov
ernment they may as well be dispensed
with for the future. The work OF ferret
ing out obscure facts can be more appro-
priatelv performed by newspapers than
by committees of Congress, unless the
Government means to use the facts for
some practical purpose. 1t surely was not
necessary to spend weeks in the eXamina-
ton of witnesses in order to find out that
the Sanborn contracts ought TO be resclnd-
ed; that much was evident from the start.
The purpose of the investigation was to
discover whether any public officer was at
fault. and to open the way for such RENE
dies and such penalties as the facts might
suggest. -.re
The President, however, who might be
supposed to feel some concern in the con-
clusions of the committee, pays no more
attention to the report than if it had been
a verdict in the Tichborne case He Is
understood to declare that nothing has oc-
CURED to shake his confidence in Mr..
Richardson, and that Mr.. Rich
ardson shall remain at the head OF
the Treasury as long as he chooses
to stay there. We do not know
that we ought to be surprised at
this. An Official confidence that survived
the esilver-resumption scheme is doubtless
proof against any disclosures OF incapaeity.
Gen. Grant looks upOn Mr.. Richardson,
not as a public functionary who has lost
the public confidence, but as a personal
adherent, who has claim upon his pro
lection MFR. Richardson is an honest
man, who does as he is bid and makes
himself acceptable to his chief, and SO
long as am satisfied says the President,
. Congress and the people have no right
to complain; let them mind their own
business" At the bottom of this stub
born resistance to the unspOken demand
for Mr.. Richardson's removal, there is a

The CiYil-Rights Bill.
ITS EFFECTS UPON THE PUBLIC SCHOOL sYs
TEN OF TENNESSEE.

80 A1tEO OION iHE BLU SOhbOL > -
TEN OF TENNESSEE.
NASHVILLE, TENN.. May 2S.-The fol-
lowing circular appears in the morning
papers:
STATE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. NASH
VILE, May y, 1S14.-TO County Superin
tendents and Public School Directors through
out the State of Tennessee: The Civil-rights
bill, now pending before the United States
Congress, in its provisions concerning public
schools, is in direct conflict with the laws of
Tennessee under which the public system of
the State is managed, and by which its Off
GERS are governed. 1t is furthermore in con-
nh,t with the twelfth section of article eleven
OF the Constitution, which provides that no
school established or aided under this section
shall allow white and negro children to be
received as scholars together in the same
school. So that what the bill commands, our
State Constitution and Public School law for
bid. That bill has already passed the Senate,
and all Indications point TO its passage by the
House OF Representatives.. In view of the
fact that in many of the counties the schools
nov closed are expected to be reopened, for
a ssnnmer session. in the month OF June, and
! inasmueh as it is desirable to avoid, as far as
possible, the embarrassments that will neces-
sarily follow the enactment of the CiVil-rights
bill, deem it the part of prudence to suggest
that for the present and until further advised,
no new contracts with teachers, for either
white or cOlored schools, be entered into by
school directors. BY observing this suggeS-
ton much complication and unnecessary eX-
pense may be avoided. Should the Civil
rights bill fail to pass, then no serious harm
can have resulted from this admOnitiOn.
Should it become law, in its present shape,
then further instructions from this office will
become necessary, and will be promptly
given. Respectfully,
ISigned JOHN NJ. FLEMING,
State Superintendent.

chivalrOus feeling which we cannot help
admiring. But every one, except the
President, sees that it springs from a false
and dangerous idea of the personal nature
of our Government-an idea that the Pres
idency is not public trust but private
dignity and privilege. -.-
After all, Gen. Grants not to- be blamed.
His party has encouraged him in these
mischievous tendencies, and applauded to
the echo some of their most remarkable
manifestations. 1t has gone quite as far
as he has in "yindicating leading states
men who happened to be found out. If
the President vindieated Tom Murphy
with letter of recommendation and Boss
Shepherd with promotion, the Senate
promptly disposed of the Carpenter scan-
dal by electing the picturesque Senator
from Wisconsin its temporary presiding
officer. And now that Messrs. Richard
son. Sawyer and Bantield have been eX-
amined by committee of Congress and
pronounced incompetent for the places
they fill, Gen. Grant ouly follows the es-
tablished precedents of his party when
he - 'vindicates " them by resolving that
they shall not be remOved.-N J. Tr55-
