What MOSby Says.

Mosby, the ex-Confederate general said re-
Gently to Philadelphia Times reporter:
Il do not think that the Democratic politi-
clans of the North have accepted in good
faith and with loyal sentiments the results of
the war. My candid opinion is that they have
accepted the amendments to the constitution
for the purpose of getting rid of them. do
not wish in this respect to reflect in any way
upon the integrity of the Southern people, for
with them am in deep sympathy. It is the
politicians upon whose sincerity, or rather
insincerity, l reflect. The attempt to solidify
the Southern political forces is going to make
solid North against the South. l think,
too, that the good faith of the Southern peo-
pie will always be suspected while they re-

Troublesome beauty.

Ladies are willing to bear any of the dis
comforts connected with rare beauty, for the
sake of the distinction it brings and the
power it confers. But a few cases are on
record where beauty was really troublesome
to its possessor. Horace Walpole speaks of
a London family of girls, named Cunning,
who found it difficult to walk the streets, be-
cause great crowds gathered to look at them
wherever they passed. The fame Of Il young
lady is still fresh in Edinburgh, Miss
McLane, Scotch beauty of 1919, whose
charms excited the wonder Of all beholders.
She could not 60 into the streets without at
tracing a mob, and was obliged several
times to take refuge in shop from the vio-
lent admiration of the crowd Twice in a
theater the people in the pit, carried away
with her beauty, rose in their seats, took off
their hats as poof of sincere respect, and
called on her to come to the front of the box
in which she was sitting, that they might
look at her. An American crowd would
never violate their own self-respect by max
ing such an impertinent request, but it was
spontaneous tribute to beauty. A celebrated
French beauty, long the admiration of Paris,
said she first realized that she was growing
old when she found that the bows in the
streets did not turn around to look at her,

4 Little Game Of Pool which Wau Lee
Did Not Understand.
TCleyeland Leader. ]

Wau Lee had long wanted horse with
which to collect and deliver his . laundry >
work about the city, and during last week
came to the conclusion to buy one. On
Wednesday evening while aimlessly strolling
by the kennard House, he heard the pool
seller shouting "How much for Fullerton,
gentlemen how much for Fullerton? l am
offered $40 for this horse the Maid sold for
800. Who says $45 for Fullerton p
Now Wau, in his travels, had heard some
thing about fast horses, and knew that Full
lerton was no ''slouch," as the saying is. So
when he saw chance to buy hlm-as it
struck his heather intelligence-tor only $45
he concluded he had better close with the
bargain at once, and secure a horse Which
could whisk his delivery wagon around at
lively rate With rapid nod he conveyed
the knowledge to the seller that he would
give $45, and as there were no higher bidders
the purchase was made.
Wau edged up to the stand and asked:
"When me payee, and when me getee
hoss?'
"Pay now," said the hurried clerk, and
come around tomorrow for the chance.
''Alle light" said Wau, as he unrolled his
pig tail, extracted his hard earned money,
and departed with the card which secured
him the pool as far as Fullerton was con-
cerned.
Thursday night he was at the Kennard at
the appointed time, and when be saw the
pool clerk, pushed his card forward and said:
''Alle light nOw-me wantee Fullerton.
Fullerton" said the clerk. ''He didn't win.
Smugg]er took the pool"
''NIe caree nothing about the pool-me
wantee hOss."
"You have no horse here You paid for
your chance and lost.

"Whatee you mean? You dam thief? You
payee me forty-fve dolce or goe to fleece

''You will get nothing" said the clerk.

w. mt for policeman and explained
When he learned that his forty-fve dollars
were gone forever, he shook his fist toward
the Kennard House and started for home,
scattering Chinese oaths along his path at the
rate of about a thousand to the minute.

Clearing Land with Dynamite.

Experience at cleaning lands, both in re-
moving stumps and large bouders, with dyn-
amite, in Scotland has proved successful.
The following account is given Of late tria
in an Edinburgh paper: A spadeful OF earth
was removed from the side of a stump, and a
hole driven into the stump with a crowbar
Into this huie cartridge Of dynamite was
pressed by means of wooden ramrod; then
a detonating percussion-cap, with Black
ford's fuse attached, was squeezed into a
smell cartridge or primer of dynamite, and
inserted into the hole in the trunk, in contact
with the charge. The hole was filled up
with loose earth, about fOOt-length OF the
fuse being left bare. A match was next ap-
piled to the fuse, and sufficient time was
taken for the powder to reach the percussion
cap to allow the operatives to retire to safe
distance. When the explosion occurred the
trunk was literally blown out of the ground,
some of the fragments weighing nearly twen-
ty pounds, being thrown to distance OF over
hundred yards. The destruction Of the
stump was complete. In breaking up big
bowlder stones, the dynamite was simply pla-
ced on top of the stone, covered with wet
sand and fixed with the fuse in the ordinary
way. The result was the reduction of the
powders to fragments the size of walnut.
It was effectually proved by the experiments
that land can be speedily cleared of forn>id-
able distractions to good cultivation by the
use Of dynamite, and the committee Of the
society who watched the operations expressed
themselves as highly satisfied with the results.

Blaine and Tiluen.

Twenty thousand people listened to Mr..
Blaine at Xenia, 60. }, and one of the things
he told them was this:
In the speeches have made during the
campaign | have refrained from any refer
ence to the gigantic scandal in regard to Mr..
Tilden's unpaid income tax. have never
been in the habit of making attacks on per-
sonal character in my political speeches,
though few men in public life have had more
provocation to do so. But hold in my hand
semi official letter from an officer ia the
Treasury Department, wholly unsolicited
by me, but especially authorizing me to state
publicly that from the best information pos
sessed by the Department, Mr. Tilden owes
the United States to-day from $150,00O to
$3.50, 900, on account of unpaid income tax.
and this semi-otficial letter authorizes me
further to state that, by recent decision of
the United States circuit Court at Providence,
r. l., it is believed the whole of this vast
sum, amounting to probably quarter of a
million of dollars, can be recovered for the
benefit of the United States Treasury Ihave,
of course no personal knowledge of the sub-
ject; but make this statement on the best

EyartS ut Home.

Hon. William NJ. Evarts has a very pre-
tentious summer home up in Windsor, VT,
according to correspondent who has lately
visited the place. Evarts' summer household
is a large one Besides his immediate family
which consists of his wife and eleven child
ren, the place is Holland house for guests,
transient and otherwise. Instead OF bringing
them under one roof, rooms are assigned IN
the different houses, while all gather for
meals-saye when the number goes beyond
control-in the dining-room OF the house
which Mr. Eyarts calls his own. Here, TOO,
is the gathering place for music or reading,
the whole house appearing to act as sort or
public parlor to the rest-the homestead, IN
fact One of the dwellings is given up ex-
clusively to Mr. Evarts' bachelor friends. A
billiard table occupies the room which would
otherwise be used as dning-hall, While
throughout the house are evidences that the
abode of woman is not there. In the vicin-
ity IS a greenhouse, supplemented with
t1ower-garden, whose walks are hedged with
high pointed hemlock, as symmetrically
trimmed as the less brilliant arbor vitas. Back
of this is the kitchen garden, which over
looks MIR. Evarts' farm of 600 acres. Of the.
600 acres nearly 200 are under cultivation,
the remainder being pasturage and woodland.
At one time Mr.. Evarts had 500 sheep, but
this number has been reduced about One-half.
In the private stable are eight horses, and
vehicles from the four-in-hand drag to the
basket phaeton. There are large barns capa-
BILE of holding 100 tons of hay. When ques-
toned as to whether he should send stock to
the county fair this year, Mr.. Evarts replied
that having secured all the first prizes last
year be did not know but that it was best to
rest upon his laurels So it seems that con-
siderable attention must be paid to the rails
ing of fine stock, although Mr.. Evarts dis
claims any intention of becoming ''model'

ion to the Yellowstone as follows:
Oh Yellowstone! My Yellowstone!
The time has come when we must part,
And candor bids me frankly own
How few regrets oppress my heart.
Through dreary hills of sterile clay,
Long may thy tawny waters roll;
But distant be the day
When sight of thee shall vex my soul.
To ravlng wolf and numbering Sioux
Thy desolation consign,
And every curse that Cromwell knew
Forevermore be theirs and thine.
Damned be thy sage and cactus plains,
And douby damned thy ghastly hills
Where nameess horror lives and reigns,
Fruitful of naught but nameless ills.
May every power that rules my fate
Keep asunder, thee and me-
And tuneful lines of cordial hate
I'll daily dedicate TO thee.

BROKEN vows.

Broken ties. All, who can ever
Think on them without pain
When two hearts in rashness sever,
They may never meet again
They may strive, they may endeayor,
In their wild hours to forget;
But, believe me. they can never
Danish from the heart regret.
Loves fond vows, too lightly spoken
In an hour of childish glee,
From remembrance, loves own token,
Never can the he art get free.
For the VOWS that once were cherished,
Like the tcndrills of the vine,
Round the love that now hath perished
Will at moments still entwine.
Broken hearts! What abject sorrow
Shrouds the mind IL loves decay!
Not cen lfe's returning morrow
Fer can chase that gloom away
We may tread the paths of folly
TO alleviate the pain.
But mrths short, and melancholy
Worse than ever will remain.
Broken ties. Then who can ever
Think on them without pain.
When two hearts too rashiy sever,
They may never meet again.
They may strive. they may endeavOr.
TO cyade one fond regret;
But, believe me. they can never
All their broken vows forget.
