the somewhat indistinct enunciation OF the
witness, Col. y. F. Grafton, in his testimony
yesterday, he was reported as taking issue
70 some extent with the publication OF Gen
Boynton In the Cincinnati Gazette, whereas
bis evidence substantially endorsed the
statements OF Gen. Boynton. After answer
Ing Mr.. Clymer in relation to what General
kiddO had said In regard to the parties
travelling together in Europe, saying that
Gen. kiddoo had not told MIN that these
parties had Travelled together in Europe, he
stated that Gen. ktddoO had informed him
that sometime previous to the morning upon
which the resolution OF Impeachment was
reported in the House that he Kfddoo) had
TOLD Mr.. Clymer that If he pulled down Bel
knsP in this matter that he must pull down
his friend Pendleton also in the matter OF
the Kentucky Central Railroad claim; that
MI Clymer said be did not have the proper
data TO investigate that charge. He (the
witness Grafton) further said that Kiddoo
had told him that he (Kiddoo) had said TO
Clymer that Mrs. Marsh would testify To
what Mrs. Belknap had said to her in rela-
tion TO this Kentucky railroad claim in the
interview al the Arlington. Grafton further
said that Gen. Kiddoo told him that he had
said 10 Clym er that IL this was not investi-

An Indian Mountain Chasm.

l went up between the Marble Rocks
in the early morning In boat, by moon
light, and hoated down in sunlight; and
as we moved slowly up that romantic
chasm, the drip Of water from the paddles,
and the wash Of the stream, only showed
how deep the silence was. A tiger had
been doing some deYastations In the
neighborhood, and one Of the boatmen
Whispered that we might have a chance
Of seeing it come down TO drink at the
entrance Of the cleft, or moving along the
rocks above, which, of course, made the
position more interesting. The marble
walls on one side, which sparkled like
silver in the moonlight, reflected so white
a radiance as almost to illuminate the
shadow Of the opposite cliffs; but the
stream itself lay in deep shadow, with here
and there shafts of dazzling light falling
upon it; and above, the moonbeams had
woven in the air silvery veil, through
which even the largest stars shone only
.dimly. 1t did not look at all like scene
on earth, but rather as If we were enter
ing the portals of another world. Com
ing down in the brilliant sunlight, the
chasm appeared less weird but hardly
less extraordinary. Large fish began to
leap at the dragon flies, which skinned
over the surface of the water; MONKEYS
ran along the banks above, and chartered
sngrily at usi many peacocks also ap-
Peared above, uttering their harsh cries;
and the large bees nests which hung every
here and there from the marble rocks. be-
gan to show unpleasant symptoms of life.
Let every visitor to this place beware how
he disturbs these ferocious and reckless
insects. They are very large; their sting
is very poisonous, and they display fury
and determination in resenting an inter
ference which makes them most formida-
BILE enemies. Two Englishmen, was
told, were once floating through the
chasm, when ball, which one Of them
ired at peacock, slanted of from the
rock and unfortunately happened to hit
one Of these nests. The consequence was
that the bees Immediately swarmed about
the boat, and stung one of its occupants,
who was unable to swim, so severely that
he died from the effects. His companion
leaped into the stream and foated down
with it; but even then 9 cloud of bees
followed him long way, watching his
movements, and Immediately attacked
his face and every portion of his body
which appeared for an instant above the
surface Of the water.-"The Abode OF
Sn0e."

but they have not fallen through the wear

power has been the cause Of this destruc-
ton. The seeds Of the peepul and ban

These have taken root; the sapling has
forced its way through the hssures Of the
stones, and in the process Of years the
whole fabric has been loosened and event.
ually brought down, and it seems prob
able that the temple Of Juggernaut will
share the same fate. At the late car fes-
tivals, as soon as the idols had been taken
from their thrones for their annual excur-
sion, several large stones from the inner
roof fell on the platform. Had they
fallen q few minutes earlier the idols
would have been shattered to atoms, and
in all probability there would have been
great loss of life. The resident magis-
trate applied to the GoveEnor for an en-
gineer to inspect the damage. This was
found to be a very difficult task, as the
temple is so dark. There are no aper-
lures for the light; Ave or six lights are
kept burning in the daytime, and even
with these nothing is visible but the idols.
Plans have been prepared, and an est-
mate been made Of the cost. It is but
very rarely that temples are repaired, and
the sound Of the chisel and hammer on
the top Of this great temple will do more
to weaken the faith Of the Juggernaut
than anything that has occurred in the
present generation. There will be no
lack Of money for any estimate, as the
priests are very wealthy and the annual
income Of the temple is said to amount to
e6S,000. The question which is agitating
all priests is, what is to be done with the
idols while the repairs are being madel
The officers Of the temples are most
anxious to have the idols restored to their
thrones. They propose that an inner
ceiling Of wood be made to protect the
idols and the worshippers; butthere would
be 80 much danger, should there be an
other fall Of stones, that the Rajah will
not consent-IRdia Cor. London TINES.

An Ugly Face-Butl

The following story is told of the
Duchess de Berri;
She was extremely fond of Dieppe, and
passed great deal of her time there In
summer; indeed, it Is said that the. town
owes to her fostering patronage the es-
tablishment of the workshops for the pro-
duction of those exquisite ivory carvings
which are well known to every stranger
that tarried at Dieppe.
One summer evening a fisherman met a
plainly-dressed lady walking alone on
the beach. He ventured to accost her.
saying that he had a petition which be
wished to present to the Duchess de Ber-
RI, but that he did not know how to pro-
ceed in order to do so.
"Did you ever see the duchessl asked
the lady.
"No," was the answer; t'but am told
that she is very ugly.n
''Give me the petition at all events, y
said the questioned, sand 1t shall be
placed in the hands Of the princess her
self"
The fisherman complied with the re-
quest, and few days later he was sum
moned to the villa Of the duchess. What
was his dismay, on being introduced to
the presence of the princess, to find that
she was the person to whom he had givf
his petitioni He commenced to st
forth some incoherent excuse, but
Caroline interrupted him.

Newspaper False Pretenses.

II has long been q matter Of notoriety
that certain newspapers, priding them
selves on their moral and religious tone,
have been selling their opinions for the
purpose Of leading the people into safe
sPeculAtions. On Friday the charges
against one Of those journals was proved
IN Philadelphia. Mr.. Edwin NJ. Lewis,
the assignee Of Jay Cooke & Co., testify
ing before 4 commissioner Of this State,
that Mr.. Henry o. Bowen entered into q
contract with that house to publish ed
itorial articles In bis newspaper advising
people to exchange United States bonds
for those Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. We are glad that this exposure
has come In official form, for nothing
can bo more dangerous than corrupt
and subsidized press. When a newspaper
sells its opinions for money it becomes .
public enemy. There will be no safety,
even In matters Of business, If a popular
ournal Is permitted 10 misrepresent the
condition Of a corporation like the one In
question with impunity. From the be-

A PERSIAN SoHooL-A Persian school
is very funny affair. The room is gen.
orally open to the street. Looking in, one
sees lot Of boys squatted on their heels
on the noor round a Mollah, all rocking
themselves to and fro, and all repeating
aloud the tasks they have to commit
To memory. The result is q little
Babel of sounds tumble, to those who
understand the language, Of verses from
the Koran, drinking and love songs from
Hahz, and heroic lines from Firdousi.
These are the books most studied; and a
Persian's education is pretty well COM
plete when he can quote freely from them
and talk little Arabic. Haaz is the ia
lvorite poet and he is quoted and recited
by all classes, as was Tasso some years
ago BY the gondoliers of Venice.

A GovERNoR WITH NO NONSENSE
ABOUT HIM.-An anecdote of Governor
Peck has just come to our ears which
shows his contempt for false pride and
his kindness of heart, as we'll as q
good deal of muscular activity in per-
son of his advanced years. Near his
home in Jericho live poor old couple
to whom the struggle for life Isl hard
one. Recently the husband was laid up,
BY accident, and as Governor Peck was
passing by the house, the other day, be
saw the old lady endeavoring TO saw and
split some wood, furnishing the piteous
spectacle a woman always does under such
circumstances and achieving the degree
of success usual when the softer sex
stoop to conquer a wood pile. The Gov
ernor promptly interfered, attacking the
wood with the impetuosity and vigor of
q youth of twenty, and sawed and split
large quantity, to the intense delight and
happiness Of the aged couple. It is rare
that large wealth, exalted position, pro-
found learning and innate kindness Of
heart are united 50 happily as in Cover
nor Peck Vermont Paper.

TIE Burlington Sentinel says; The
second steamboat ever built in the world
was the Vermont, which was launched in
Burlington in 1908, just one year after
fulton had successfully steamed up the
Hudson or North River. The boat was
built BY James and John Winans, just
west Of the old Nye store, and was 100
feet long with 20 feet beam, with an en-
gine rated at 20 horse power. The boat
was wrecked near st. Johns in 1918.
