OKford's Refusal to Endorse.
New York World.

Sir William Vermont IIarcourt has been
singled out, as it was pretty plainly init
mated some time ago that he would be,
to play the part of political skeleton at
Mr.. Gladstone's too brilliant festival.
The good people of Oxford have declined
to indorse him on second trial. and he
must find a seat somewhere else if he is
to act as one of Her Majesty's Ministers.
There is nothing particularly imortily-
ing in this to Sir William personally. for
his great chieftain went through a simi.
lar experience on former occasion. But
1t points a needed moral for the tri-
umphant Liberal, not few of whom
secured their election in the general vic
tory by margin narrower than that
which has now been overcome at Oxford
In the case of the Home Minister. The
provisions of the law under which the
constituents of member must be al
lowed an opportunity of showing by
their votes whether thev are or not will
ling that their representative should
hold an office of profit from the Crown
date back to the reign of Queen Anne,
though they have been modified by
more recent statutes.

The Fat Mans Friend.
st. Louis Republican.

When a man accumulatcs a sufficient
quantity of adiposc tissue to be noticed
b. the public and inconvenient 10 him
self, his intimate friends are apt to in
quire, "Why don't you 'bantp' Unless
somewhat familiar with what may be
termed the science of ponderous corpor-
osity, he is not likely TO knoy what they
mean and probably a majorit of the
inquirers themselves are more or less
ignorant of the process they recommend
and not one person out of hundred
knows anything the individual from
whom its name Is derived. For the
benefit et our readers-thin as well as
thick-we propose to supply this def

the material therefor from curious lit.

LITTLE yALONEy's NEW GOAT.
How a Naturslisrs Discovery Brought a
Small Boy to Grief.
San Francisco Chronicle.


A small put sparselv freckled Natoma
street boy sat in the Police Court dock,
weeping bitterly. lie was charged by
his father with disturbing the peace and
leading dissolute life. His name was
Molony His father was contractor
who, at the expense Of the city managed
TO earn an honest political living. They
took a newspaper. and the unfortunate
boy read an incendiary item 10 the effect
that Frank Buckland, the naturalist, had
discovered that goat was an excellent
thing TO keep in a stable along with
horses, as it would face fire and the
horses would follow it through flames.
He thought ii over. He wanted to show
his father what thoughtful and con-
siderate boy he was. Besides, he want
ed goat. He went down on Rincon
Hill and found one. Ii was goat OF
Irish proclivities and ownership and of
the male gender. Would it face fire? 1t
would. 1t wasn't expensive to keep. 1t
had lived for a month on shingle-nails
and oyster cans and the different ropes
with which it had been tethered. Would
the man sell it? He would give this one
away because he liked the little BOYS
looks. And the poor. unsuspecting little
boy started for Natoma street. down
First, the goat leading the boy. He felt
pretty good for a goat. Whenever a
horse went by or dog hove in sight he
would get up on his hind legs and walk
Spanish, while the dogs let out for the
Mission and the children on the front
piazzas had fits on an average of about
eight to the block. Finally the goat got
an idea, and ricochetteJ up Mission
street in jumps that would have sprained
the ankle of any goat but him. The boy
acted as mdder and steered him TO Nat
oma street. It was after dark. There
was hay in the stable visable through
the open door. The goat debated the
matter for a while and then went in.
The boy said nothing about the in
yestment to his kind and loving parents.
Fortunately his father was down at the
grocery and knew nothing. He would
come home so full of politics that he
couldn't tell goat from a siX-bit UNI
brclla unless the goat had a chance to
explain. He hoped tnat his father
would not go to the stable. lie prayed
that he wouldn't. lie bad faith and
confidence in his father, but he doubted

struck ! | and he krew by that that it
was ll:l5, and that the old man would
be along shortly. He heard him coming.
Heard the gate slam and then, first
tremblingly and then in anguish, heard
his fathers footsteps going toward the
stable He heard the paddock rattle,
heard the door swing wide open, and
then he heard whizz, spasmodic puff
as f a small balloon had bursted. and
then a skifiing noise as the heels of his
fathers boots slid along the planks and
fell backwards in the mud about eight
feet and tlree-quarters from the door
lie raised the window and looked weep
ing and silent on the scene. lie knew
what the goat could do, and it was hard
to hear dear f. ther gasp like gold fish
as he tried to initiate himself again
Finally he forced down enough wind fol
meagre conversational purposes. He

story OF young. woman of twenty.a'Lne 'ne
who had engaged TO marry an Old ,On ne
of slxty.three. After making n norh man

the engagement off merely because La
was bald and toothless; his purse was mo

twenty years more than she had snS

An Hawaiian Heroine.

Honolulu &. l.) AdNefuser.
Passing along King street last week
we noticed a gathering of natives in the
center of which was middle-aged man
of rather a sickly aspect and a girl OF
some sixteen to eighteen years. Draw
ing near we found it was one of those
who had been washed overheard from
the Waioli and the girl was his daughter.
lie was relating their experience while
overheard, about an hour and half.
When thrown into the sea the man had
on heavy sea boots and thick clothing.
After swimming awhile he began to find
it difficult TO keep above water and told
his daughter that he must soon give up
his heavy boots would sink him. She
encouraged him 20 persevere and she
would try and rid him of his boots she then
dove beneath him, and after several at
tempts actually succeeded in removing
the heavy boots. which, of course, fitted
very loosely. She dove again and re-
moved his thick woolen pants, which
impeded his swimming, and then assist
ed him in getting off his pea jacket.
Thus lightened he was able to keep his
head above water until at length the
vessels boat came along and picked
them up. Was not this Hawaiian he
roine?

How TIRE ARMY WORN TRAvEIS-ConsIder-
able excitement exists in Maryland over the ap-
pearance or the army worm. They first ap-
peared in the wheat fields and wherever found
have eaten the beard entirely of, aud have
otherwise injured the wheat They are now
leaving the wheat and are seeking the younger
and more tender grains. The first corn fields
attacked were those OF John \. Mitchell aud =.
\. Hyde and soD near Baltimore and as far as
the march had extended when discovered the
fields are entirely bare. Concave bitches were
at once eug through the fields and a panel
progress in that direction. The farmers are
now digging bitches around their corn fields.
Every few yards In these bitches pits are sunk,
Into which the worms fall in their efforts TO
closs. In those pits can be seen great masses
OF the worms. and as the pits nil up the worms
are burnt and thrown out to make room for
others. They begin TO march about noon. and
curing the afternoon the roads adjacent TO the
fields where they are is covered with the moving
arIpy.
