planned that the St. Louis Transportation
Committee Influenced them to go to Kansas
by telling them that 81, 600 ZOO had
been subscribed by the people for their
benefit, and that upon their arrival in Kan
sas they would be well taken care of. He
further stated that he had good reason to

steamboat companies. An investigation of
the charges was promptly made, which re-
suited in the removal of the Committee
named, and their commissions have been
revoked by the Mayor. an A branch

purpose of paying the expenses of all in ii :.

" strong Jamie."

The Berwickshire journals in 1874,
gave much information concerning this
remarkable man. Though short of
stature, he possessed prodigious strength,
which earned Tor him the familiar cog
nomen OF Jamie Strang," or Strong
jamie" A writer in the Berwick i'd
verttser said: 1--WE have heard him
state that the greatest weight he ever
lifted from the ground was los stone,and
that he had lifted eighty-five stone with
one hand. When the Foriarshire mill
tia were encamped at Eyemouth, he
went to see an acquaintance among
them. While there, daneing-master
was boasting much OF his strength,
whereupon one of the soldiers, knowing
Stuart, engaged to provide drummer
who would lift more than the boaster
could. Stuart, dressed as a drummer,
was brought in. A piece OF ordnance
WIS lying before them which the dane
ing-master raised to the perpendicular,
and then allowed to fall. He asked the
drummer whether he could do that.
Stuart pretended that he was not very
sure that he could but placing his arms
round the cannon, he raised 1t entirely
| from the ground, and carried 1t TO some
distance. At another time, when at
| Velvet Hall, near Berwick, some
countrymen were laboring to get cart
laden with hay out of miry hole into
which by some accident it had stuck
| fast. Stuart was appealed to for assist
ance. He desired them all to stand
aside, and, going underneath the Cart
removed it with its load to the opposite
side of the road" This extraordinary
man Git is averred in many quarters)
actually went fiddling about the country
till nearly ia years old. A small sum
was then collected for him, toward
which the queen and the late Sir Robert
Peel contributed. Stuart declared that
he " "hadna been sac Weel off this hunder

A CeremOnIous NabOb.

have told you, writes an English
traveller, very little about the nabob
(of the Carnatic), although no day
passes without mes sengers from him
in the morning to inquire how / slept,
and in the middle of the day to present
gift OF fruit and flowers. He insists
on my seeing these messengers with
great silver sticks and returning my
salaams by them, which is a great and
grievous bore twice a day. After my
first visit he sent me dinner of at least
fifty dishes. each of which was brought
on the head of a black damsel. This
feast was displayed on the floor Of the
colonnade, and was brought forth to
see the embroidered covers taken off, and
to admire the cook-shop.
made my salaam, and the repast was
devoured by Lord illiam's body guard
The present of dinner is an established
custom in the East. The nabob is a
very fat, thick-bearded person, about
thirty. At my first visit he received
me at the door of my coach, having bar
gained that / should do the like when
he returned my visit. He embraced rue
as soon rs l was out of the coach with
most affectionate hugs, saying each
time: Chow dye do, governor

seemed less neat and appropriate at my
departure 9, when, at the coach door, he
repeated the four embraces, with How

again.
During the reception he sat on sofa
in a great hall, in which was also the
musnud or throne, on his right side,
Lord William on his left. Then our in.
terpreter made us mutually happy by
assurances of each others perfect health
aud the nabob returned thanks to God
for the health of the king, the queen
the Prince of Wales and the princes
and princessess, the court of directors
the house of peers, and all the member:

of whom assured him had left in the

We were then still more deeply

each other, and by the singular felicity
of beholding each others faces. Many

about the mother and daughters, Alex
thought; they were so cordial, so intel
ligent, so unaffectedly fond of enc an
other. Little by little he gathered the
facts Of their history, net from any for
NAL revelation. but by chance hints
and casual illusions. Mrs. Ashurst,
as he conjectured, had been left slen-
derly provided for on her husbands
death, and with far-sighted wisdom had
used her little capital in giving her girls
first rate education in Europe, with a
view to their becoming teachers. They
had but lately returned, and were not
yet thoroughly at home in their own
country; but already Miss Ashurst was
instructing large classes in French and
German, and Amy giving music lessons
to a number of pupils. Their evenings
they kept free for the enjoyment of each
other and of the little home which they
so valued; and entering into the spirit
OF this life, so bravely busy, yet so tran
gully content, Alex realized fer the first
time what the charm of home may be,
where each inmate has Independent oc-
cupation, but where all interests are
shared and united as only they can be in
those homes where love is lord and
king.
He dined duly with "the other Ash.
ursts," and duly paid his "digestion
visit" but there the acquaintance
rested. The insipidity of mere fash
ionable intercourse struck him SO
keenly, as contrasted with the domestic
life he had just learned to understand
the elaborate graces taught to worldly
schools seemed SO poor and shallow
compared with the mind, the music,
breathing in the face" of Amy, that ii
struck him as sheer waste of time to
devote his hours to them.
"Who would care for doll, though its clothes
were of lace,
And its petticoats trimmed in the fashionl"
he hummed to himself, as he walked
home after his second call at 1914; and
from thenceforwarJ he gave himself up
with heart and soul to the cultivation
of his "happy accident" Uncle Nat
was grievously disappointed when his
favorite nephew, after a stay in Phila
delphia so prolonged as to justify his
most sanguine hopes, wrote to announce
his engagement to an entirely wrong
Miss Ashurst. :" A girl without penny,
sir, l give you my word" and it was
long before the old gentleman could
forgive the outrage. He never did for
give it, in fact, till Mrs. Alexander
Ashe came to Boston in propria persona,
and then she made such conquest OF
Uncle Nat as left him nothing to say in
his own justification or to the reproach
of his nephew. He lived to thank
heaven for his own bad handwriting.
For" as he would explain, "a if the
tails of my SIS had been one whit less
indistinct than they are, you would
never have gone astray. in Hemlock
street that night, my boy, and we should
never have had this little jewel of ours
for our own, and sad thing that would
have been tor us all-hey. now. wouldn't

To which Alex Ashe replied. with
emphasis: Rather !"-H HdYper'S Bazaar
