A Hartford gentleman, who has been
in the habit of paying $50 for pew in
church, was unable to attend the auction
the other evening, and consequently re-
qucsted friend to see to it that he
should have his old seat as heretofore.
He subsequently met another friend and
made the same request, forgetting that he
had already appointed an agent At the
auction one brother started the pew at
$50; the other offered $5l; and bid fol.
lowed bid until $SS was reached. The
two agents had been bidding against each
other, as the principal subsequently
learned to his cost.

No Longer a belle.

The once most beautiful woman of
Arkansas, says Little Rock correspond
ent, is now beggar, and, though not a
literary woman, has wooden leg. She
is the daughter Of Sandy Faulkner, the
original "Arkansaw Traveller" She has
been married several times, and is now
known as Mrs. Trapnell. In the old days
of Arkansas aristocrAcy, when the ricn
planters and men of note gathered at the
Ashley mansion, Miss Faulkner WAS the
belle, petted, flattered, and admired by
everyone. Her wardrobe came from
Paris, and her lovers from everywhere.
Slave to the demands Of society and con-
quest, she was naughty, and considered
heartless.
Her sway for years was undisputed,
and when her financial decline came she
would not recognize a fact which seemed
to her 80 preposterous She married,
but her husband did not prove to be
wealthy. From this husband, if / am
correctly informed, she was divorced.
She was still beautiful, and, though di-
vorced from her husband, was still insep-
arably welded to society. But the bright
star of her life had beguh>to grow dim.
Her father died and left her with COM
paratively nothing. She still had offers
of marriage, but she declined them on
financial grounds. On one occasion large
party was forming to visit the New Or
leans Mardi Gras Festivities.
She was unable to meet the necessary
expenses. A gentleman who had heard
her express herself, and with whom she
was scarcely acquainted, remarked to her
"f you will marry me will take you tc
New Orleans" II WILL" she exclaimed
and they were married. This husband

Another wall OF sorrow is borne upon the air,
Another cry OF bitterness, another anguished

Hast thou not won thy trophies from cottage
up to throne

spared an only son?

And mothers tender yearning bud and bios

o, il human love could conquer, Death, thou
hadst been powerless!
Even childhood feels the fitting of the death

And in piteous accents whispers, "Father,
am dying now

yearns to see;
Kiss the lips IN loves last greeting, borne thro'
all eternity.

And the crown OF life is glstening on your

Yield thy claim, o, Death, forever. Jesus
Christ Is victor now.
The charm OF life IS broken desolation every

Save for the hope that whispers, II may meet

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NEWS.


From Our Own Correspondent
The past week at the college has been one OF
general mourning, occasloned by the death OF
William K. Kedzie, professor Of chemistry in
Oberlin college, and son Of Prof. X. c. Kedzie,
OF this college. Deceased was young man OF
twenty-nine years, and whose prospects for
the future we're uncommonly bright. He grad
uated here in the class OF 1870, and was then
appointed assistant in the laboratory. In 1878
he received the degree OF NJ. S. and was made
professor of chemistry in the Kansas State
Agricultural collsge. During his college course
here he improved his vacation by the study OF
chemistry at Yale college. He held his position
IN Kansas until 1875, or about two years, dur
ing which time he earned a high reputation as
a chemist and produced work on the agricul-
tural geology OF Kansas he then visited Eu-
rope and spent one year In the study OF chem
istry IN German universities. In 1878 be ac-
cepted the professorship OF chemistry in Ober-
I'm college which position he filed until few
CEASE work. The disease which occasoned his
death was nervous prostration, from which he
has suffered for some years, but was not dls-
abled from actual work until the past winter
when he was taken worse, but recovered suffi-
ciently to admit OF IA removal to Lansing some
time ago. From the time OF his arrival his
health has steadily declined until death came
to his relief. His death Is loss to hs friends,
to his alma mater, and to OberlIn college
President Abbot made few remarks in regard
to Professor Kedzie's college life, and Presi-
dent Farchild, of Oberlin, delivered . brief
eulogv on the deceased, during which he spoke
with much emotion. The remains were con-
veyed to Mount HOPE cemetery, where were
deposited the mortal remains OF one whose
life had been consecrated to the advancement
OF practical science.
Mr.. A. c. Redding, o student from Van Bu-
rem county, has, for the past week, been suf-
fering from a severe attack Of BRAIN fever,
produced by over-study. He is much better at
present and strong hopes of his recovery are
entertained, although lie IS not yet pronounced
out OF danger.
Professor Johnson's class made the first ap-
plication OF their knowledge OF stock breeding
on Tuesday of last week. The exercise was
that OF scaling, and it is somewhat remarkable
that, although Henrieas" behavior was very
credltabe, there was considerable difference in
opinion.
The students and faculty are at present much
incensed over the appearance OF an article in
the Rational Appeal, a Detroit paper, which is
an outrage on the college and libel on Pres
Abbot. The article is based on, and breathes
nothing but falsity. 1t was evidently commu-
nicated by some puslanmous atheist, who
tarough dsrespect and lawlessness has incurred
the dislike Of some OF the members Of tho
faculty, and has adopted this dastardly method
Of wreaking vengeance.
