The Story of a Railroad Kiss.
Chicago Evening Telegraph

Croker VS. Northwestern Railroad
Company. In SO Wisconsin, 657, it
is held that it is unlawful for a rail
road corporation to kiss q female
passenger against her will. The
plaintiff was a school teacher, about
twenty years of age. Being the only
passenger in the car, the conductor
naturally snpposing that she would
be lonely, sat down by her and en-
gagged her in conversation. The rest
of the affair she thus narrates He

Giants in Olden Times.

The giant exhibited at Rouen in
1880 measured nearly eighteen feet.
Gorapius saw girl that was ten
feet high.
The giant Galabea, brought from
Arab at Rome, nisler Claudius Ca-
sar. was ten feet high.
Fannum, who lived in the time of
Eugene II, measured eleven and a
half feet.
The Chevalier Scrog, in his voy-
age to the Peak Teneriffe, found in
one of his caverns ofthat mountain,
the head of the Gunich. who had
sixty teeth, and was not less than
fifteen feet high.
The giant Faragus. slain by Or
lando, nephew of Charlemangne.
was twenty-eight feet high.
In 1914 near st. German, was
found the tomb of the giant Isolent,
who was not less than thirty feet
high.
In 1890. near Rouen, was found
skeleton whose skull held bushel
of corn, and who was nineteen feet
high.
The giant Bacart was twenty-five
feet high; his thigh bones were
found in 170s near the river Of Mo-
deri.
In 1928, near the castle in Dau-
phine, tomb was found thirty feet
long, sixteen wide, and eight high,
on which was out in gray stone these
words, 'eKentoloehus Rex" The
skeleton was found entire, twenty
five and fourth feet long, ten feet
across the shoulders. and iye feet
from the breast bone to the back.
Near Palermo. in Sicily, in 1916.
was found the skleton of a giant
thirty feet high, and in 1859, an
other forty -four feet high.
Near Magrino, in Sicily. 10 1915,
was found the skeleton Of a giant
thirty feet high, the head was the
size of hogshead, and each of his
teeth weighed five ounces.
We have no doubt that there were
"giants in those days" and the past
perhaps was more prolific in produ-
cling them than the present. But
the history of giants during the old
en- time was not more remarkable
than that of dwarfs, some of whom
were even smaller than the Thumbs
and Nuts Of our own time.

Grants Mistake.

Without doubt Grant will go into

that the great mistake of his Admin

the Cabinet such men as Bristow,
Jewell and Taft. With such per-

liams, Belknap, Robson. he got
along without any trouble. The
revenue thieves were not molested.

TRUE INWARDNESS.
What Republicans Thought of
Gov. Hayes a Year Ago.

Gov. Hayes a Year Ago.
The following ought to enable tru-
iy independent voters to make up
their minds how much stock to take
in Gov. Hayes fine words and prom
ises:
Boston Daily Advertiser, June 4, 1875.
We are not yet in full possession
of full information concerning the
reasons that actuated the Ohio Re-
publican Convention to nominate
ex-Gov. Hayes instead of Judge
Taft, but some of them, and perhaps
there were no others, lie on the sur
face. IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY THE
WORK OF THE SMALL MANAGERS OF
LOCAL RINGS, acting in conjunction
with the men Of better character but
no more tact, who insist that a cam
didate shall be of their opinion or of
no opinion concerning the merits of
their private and particular hobby
horses. Judge Taft, although a
man of conspicuous ability and va
rious accomplishments is not poll
tician. Although often consulted
by, and of strong influence among.
the thinking men of the party, he
has never consorted with the work
ers." and they were uncertain of
their standing in his regard. The
Ben Eggleston ring of Cincinnati
was dreadfully afraid of him. not
without reason. HAYES THEY KNEW.
He HAD BEEN GOVERNOR TWO TERMS,
AND THERE NEVER WAS ANY DANGER
THAT HE WOULD INSTITUTE ANY RE-
FORMS TO HURT. He is a man Of
fair ability, good nature, correct in
his personal habits. honest, sound
in the Republican faith, but WITH
OUT MUCH FORCE OR INDEPENDENCE.
Wilkie Collins description of Mrs.
Vesey is applicable to him. "HE
POSSESSES ALL THE CARDINAL vIR-
TUES, BUT COUNTS FOR NOTHING"
After serving as Governor four
years, distinguished by no special
brilliancy of administration, he yield
ed to Gen. Noyes. Once since he
has been defeated for Congress.
X X Before Judge Taft's name
was brought forward Gen. Hayes
had publicly and positively declined
to be a candidate. The day before |
the convention the Cincinnati Gazette
published an extract from a letter
written by Gen. Hayes, in which he
said II wish you my friends to
know that / WILL NOT. UNDER ANY

when the convention

WITH HIS CONSENT, and at |
all events he Immediately telegraph

PHILADELPHIA. June 25. = The
Plymouth pastor paid us a visit last
week, and remained in our midst for
upward of three or four days. His
presence upon the ground attracted
staring crowd whenever he pre-.
sented himself. Mr.. Beecher with
several friends was engaged in max
ing an inspection of the interior of
the main building when he happened
to meet Commissioner Durfur of
Oregon. Recognizing Mr.. Durfur,
whom he had met on q former occa-
sion, DIr. Beecher, in his usually
pleasant manner, raised his hat to
the Commissioner, at the same time
remarking:
''How do you do, Mr.. Commits
sioner? This is Mr.. Dnrfur of Ore
gon, is it not?'
"Yes," replied Durfur. ooh, yes.
and this is Mr.. Beecher!''
Il am glad to meet you again. -
answered Mr.. Beecher. You see
I take great interest in your State
of Oregon. L believe they did me
the honor to name enc of their town
ships Beech-Town.'
"Oh, yes, / believe they did," re-
sponded Durfur; ''but you see, Mr..
Beecher. they have changed the
name of the town since that time -
'What!" calculated Mr.. Beechcr.
looking rather surprised. "You
astonish me; | never heard of that
before. To what name, pray, did
they change it?''
We'll, Mr.. Beecher, you see they
call it Elizabeth now.''

on as an apprenticeship to domestic

~ Tennessee is moving forward
in the way Of internal improvements
and can now boast forty cotton mills,
with 56.958 spindIes, consuming A.
453 bales of cotton annually. As
these will increase in the South we
will find them going into bankruptcy
in New England. Indeed some Of
their largest works have already sus-
pended on account OF Southern pro-
dress. and there is 10 conceivable
reason why cotton goods should not
be manufactured in the producing
