mated Jos. r. Moore for the Senate in OBJ

vored Miller moved for the adoption of the

Moore's nomination before the convention

by a vote of 81 against As for Miller.

and chagrned at the result of the vote and
declined the nomination for the House of

HNHE universal satisfaction given by this
DRILL in the past warrants us in the
assertion tina, il is the best Drill now on the

he seen also that the wheels are high and have
broad tires tina, the hoes have more curve
or pitch by which they are enab led to run
much steadier and take hold more efIectually
than the ordinary hoe; that the hopper is
located slightly in the rear of the axle, which
secures perfect balance in 'front.' whereby the
horses necks are relieved of any weight,

profits Of small investment in sheep. On
the Both of August Mr.. Ambrose M. White,
who lives with me, bought from Mr.. VIM.
S. Brooke ten ewes, for which he paid him
$35 cash On the Wednesday night follow
ing, less than ten days, he had seven Of
them killed by some worthless ours, the
eighth one is very much crippled. 50 he

The Weather.

''My memory is regular date back" observed MT. Smiley, as he held up his his head to get 8 chance at tying his cravat, s'but I'll be buttered and dried if ever I saw another such fall O the year as this. You can't tell what is the matter with the weather. You put on your overcoat and walk block and you're roasted; you go without your overcoat and you're froze. I can't make it out at all. Hannah, how long before the coffee is ready? All out O coffee? How in thunder did that hap pen? Don't buy coffee every few days ? But I was talking about the weather" ....-s -... -
 ''So you was and so you always are, " remarked Hannah, sputteringly. 'sI've lived with you forty-two years, and every single day you have talked wealth CT, wet weather, dry weather, windy weather, lowry weather, cloudy wealth CT, hot weather, cold weather. corn growing weather, potato rotting wealth CT. good weather to dry clothes, and every other sort of weather that was ever heard of. If ever get married again I'll marry man that don't know one kind of weather from another, SC there!

WOmen's Rights in Burmah.

An English paper says King Thee baw, of Burmah, the biggest bully and brute in the world, has at last found his match in a woman who can assert the rights of her sex. The Queen was re- gently confined af her third child, which proved daughter. Now King Thee baw desires to have an heir to the throne, and he resolved, therefore, like Napo- leon, to provide himself with another wife. Indeed, he .bettered Napoleon, for he took two new wives, one of them the granddaughter of the Kan-Pat Menghee and the other the daughter of a minor official. The Queen soon heard of this, and, as she was unable to go to the King, she sent him peremptory order to put away his new wives at once. King Theebaw replied that he should do nothing of the kind-that he was tired of Her Majesty, inasmuch as she only presented him with daughters, and that he was determined to free himself of her control and be real king. Seven or eight days were passed in angry mes sages, but at the end of that time the Queen left her apartments and went to those of the King. Arrived there, she seized the monarch, carried him off to her own rooms, and locked hi1a stlo s0ith the ba6y. She then went off and at. tended to affairs of state, her first act being to cast the two new wives into prison and to have them heavily man. acled. 52

The Romantic Story of a Mine.

The mention in the Star that the Mexicans had taken possession of the San Feliato mine and driven the Ameri- can company, which was working 1t, away. recalls to writer for the StGr the romantic story told her by prominent New York physician in September. He said that twenty years ago he was in Chicago, and was called to attend the death-bed of an old Mexican. The doc tor remained faithfully at his side until he drew his last breath, and just before he died the old man said: ''Doctor, may God reward you for your kindness to me. I have no money to give you, but I can tell you secret known to me only, which may some time prove valu- able to you" In faint voice he then told of how he had become possessed of the knowledge of the exact locality of one of the lost mines in Mexico, which had not been worked for more than a century, and he gave the physician the maps showing the situation. which he had been carrying about with him, be. ing too poor himself to use the knowl- edge for his own advantage, but always hoping to find some one to buy his val uable secret. The physician thought little of the matter at the time, or until many years afterward. Within year he has been there with partner and bought the land where his maps said the mine would be found without disclosing why he wanted that tract. The mine was found, has been successfully worked, and has proved one of the richest mines in Mexico.- Washington Star.

The Pension Frauds.

Second Auditor Ferriss, of the U. s. Treasury Department, in his annual re- port says that during the last eleven years the number of claims for arrears of pay and bounty rejected and disal- lowed is more than double the number allowed and paid. The amount paid out was SIC, 2S7, ,9S9.O5. The amount of the rejected claims was about $2O, ,S91, | 51256. A large proportion of the dis allowed claims are cases in which the claimants had been paid in full, but after a lapse of a few years had filed new claims, with afidavits that they had never been paid and had never made any previous applications. The investiga- tion of some of these cases has devel- oped very remarkable instances of for getfulness. During the last fifteen years very large number of officers and men of the late volunteer forces have been charged with overpayments and double payments, ranging from 40 cents to several hundred dollars, and only 6 small proportion has been or ever will be recovered. Many persons are now in the receipt of liberal pensions who are indebted to the United States on the books of the office. Auditor Ferriss thinks that the time has arrived when all
 claims against the United States grow
 ing out of the late war should be barred by 8 statute of limitation. ...

No Locks Needed.

Writing of safe locks, Boston news paper correspondent says: It is the only place know of on the sacred soil of New England where you may see man shut his house door without turning the key and calmly go about his business, satisfied that no prowling tramp or sneak thief will make free with the con- tents in his absence. I went down with a friend last summer to Provincetown, and when we came to his house he simply turned the door knob and walked in. asked him who kept house in his absence. He said nobody. He is 8 bachelor, and spends most of his time in Boston. He says nobody ever bothered his property in his absence, and seemed to think 1t an itsult to his community to hint at the use of locks and keys. There was good deal of valuable property in his house, too, but Provincetown knows not the ubiquitous tramp. It requires more energy than the average gentleman of that leisurely profession possesses to trudge a hundred miles or so along the sandy peninsula which joins Provincetown with the rest of the world. hope am not giving hint to any such peripatetic indi- vidual; but if I am, can qualify it with the caution that they are not en- tirely gu1leless dwellers by the seq down there. They are peaceful and law abiding, and about the most de, termined specimens of physical man. hood to be found in the country. Any
 body injuring them or their property would be likely to get harpooned and bomb-lanbed into eternity before he ha6 time to get far with his plunder.

"Oh, by the way" said cashier Baldwin in bis confession to the directors of the Newark bank, "I have been running behind a little for the last dozen years or so, and can't make my cash balance by two or three million dollars. It's very awkward and I SUD- pose I ought to have spoken to you about it at the time, but didn't think it would make any particular difference to you and so it slipped my mind from day to day. Besides I thought you might be asking about it, and that would put me in. mind of it. But l suppose you were too busy to look after +rihes like that"
