His Soul Is Marching On.

The talent of the average Bourbon
Democrat for laundering was never
more conspicuously illustrated than it
was in the open attack made in the
Senate by Senator Vest, of Missouri, on
the memory of "Old John Brown" {"
the hero of Harper's Ferry, Senator
Vest is Democrat of small stature, but
large capacity for hating. He was
nodded in small pattern, has revolved
in q narrow sphere, and mistakes his
malignity for genius. He served in the
Confederate Congress for two or three
years, and on that bloodless field alone
won his title of Colonel" as well as
his right to abuse Old John Brown.
But perhaps we should admit that he
draws his latter right from higher
source-the indefeasible right of Bour-
bon Democrat to make q fool of himself.
The question before the Senate was
that of appropriating q sum of money
to pay the Clerk OF the Territorial Leg
islature of Kansas, in 1855, for compil-
ing the slave code enacted by Demo
cratic Legislature. The laws never be-
came the law of the State, and were
publicly burned after the State was
admitted to the Union. Senator Cock
rell urged the allowance of the claim
Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, opposed it
and explained its true character. SEN
ator Vest jumped into the discussion,
and, according to the Associated Press
report, said; .......
HE did not propose to revive the questions
Of that terrible period. Slavery was dead
and he had no wish to bring 1t to life. Buthe
could not refrain, since the subject had been
brought up, from saying that violence begat
violence, and outrage provoked outrage. The
people sent out by Plymouth Church, and
other pillars of God and morality, headed by
that old sOOundrel, John Brown, who after
fold ut Harpers Ferry, were responsible for
much of the violence OF that unfortunate
time"
1t is rather late in the day for Sena-
tor Vest, of Missouri, to be attacking
the memory of John Brown. If the
name of Senator Vest has ever been
identified or connected with any Ma
tional, patriotic, humanitarian or phi
lanthropic movement, we are not aware
of the fact. Born and bred under
slavery influences, he has never been
other than defender of that institu-
tion and its logical sequences. 1t fol-
lows, of course, that he took part in
the rebellion against the Government
Relieved of his political disabilities, he
has, by the grace of the Bourbon De-
mocracy of Missouri, found seat in
the United States Senate, where he
makes use of his position to attack John
Brown.
Who was John BrownP A man whose
Senator Vest was never
worthy to unloose; a man who grasped
the problems Of a century and the in
terests Of posterity. In the quiet Of
private life he absorbed the doctrines
Of a statesman and the ideas of phi
lanthropist. A born patriot, he became
a developed hero. State lines and State
laws, fused in the crucible of his great
soul, left nothing but human rights,
and to this idea he devoted himself and
sacrificed his life. Subjected to the
blazing light of his rugged intellect,
slavery was simply the sum of human
the aggregation of human

wrongs, and as such he attacked it..
Attacking it he died, q victim of an
accursed system of laws, hero Of ali
time. John Browns soul is marching
on. His work is done. His name has
been echoedin a thousand battle-songs,
and will be repeated with reverence
when that of Senator Vest shall have
been forgotten. In view of the facts,
how puerile and contemplate appears
the attack of the beetle-eyed little Sen
ator from Missouri upon the memory
of the hero of Harpers Ferry.-Indian-

Three impossible Things.

~ To escape trouble by running away
from duty. Jonah once made the ex-
pertinent, but did not succeed. There
fore manfully meet and overcome the
difficulties and trials to which the post
assigned you by Gods providence expos
es you. (2) To become Christian of
strength and maturity without under
going severe trials. What fire is to gold,
such is affiiction to the believer. 1t
burns up the dross, and makes the gold
shine forth with unalloyed luster. (3)
TO form an independent character ex-
cept when thrown on ones own resourc-
es. The oak in the middle of the forest,
surrounded on all sides by tall trees that
shelter and shade it, runs up tall and
comparatively feeble; cut away its pro-
tector, and the first blast will overturn
it. But the same tree, growing in the
open field, where it is continually beaten
upon by the tempest, becomes its own
protector. So the man who is compell-
ed to rely on his own resources forms an
independence of character which he
could not otherwise have obtained.

How He told the Time.

A GOOD STORY, told at the expense
IA of well.known ex Judge, is going
the rounds of the lawyers offices, and it
is heartily appreciated by those who
best know the irascible but good hearted
disposition of the old gen tleman. 1t was
an admiralty case, where he is most at
home. The deposition of a sailor, who
was soon to die, had to be taken at his
bedside in Brooklyn, one day last week.
How long" the ex-Judge snapped out
at the first question on cross-examina-
ton, "do you think it was after the YES
sci left the wharf before the collision
occurred?
The sailor was himself something of
character, and not so near death but
that appreciated the vital Importance
of "getting back on'' cross.examin-
ing lawyer.
WAL" " he drawled out, "'bout ten
minutes sd judge"

A Curious Snake.

Along the Upper Brazos and in West
ern Texas, where flourishes the horned
frog, is the strangest snake known to
naturalists. He is sometimes called the
glass snake. He is from two to four feet
long, with a striped back. He is not
poisonous. His way of defending him.
self when attacked by powerful foe is
similar to that of the 'possum or skunk.
Instead of figh ting back he breaks into a
dozen pieces, and every piece, distinct in
itself, lies apparently dead on the ground.
Sometimes the pieces are a foot apart.
When the foe disappears, the pieces
gradually come together, unite into one
snake and crawl off. The naturalist
will naturally ask if the pieces are en-
tirely separated. L answer they are
No film or tendon holds them together !;
you can chop the ground with an AK
between the pieces. Mr. H. Edwards,
whose post office address is Montgomery
Alabama, showed me one of these snakes
at Waco. He has it still alive, and will
prove by the living snake or by answer
ing q letter from any naturalist the accu-
racy of this story. The glass snake
which Mr.. Edwards showed me had
lost the tip of its tail. When I asked
the owner how that happened, he said !:
"The snake went to pieces one day and
before it got together hungry king
snake, which still have, swallowed the
tall" Mr.. Edwards has several king
snakes. Like the glass snake, they are
not poisonous; still they kill the largest
snakes in the bottom. They make a
spring at large snake or rabbit, coil
instantly around its neck and strangle
it choke it to death. A kingsnake
five feet long will strangle dog or q
rattlesnake. When the kingsnake
springs at glass snake, the glass snake
breaks into pieces and its foe might as
well try to strangle basket of clothe:
pins or pailful of sardines.

"Ten minutes Ten minutes ~ ex-
claimed the lawyer, jumping up. "Man,
how long do you thing ten minutes to
be ~
Just about ten minutes,'' was tue
unruflled reply.
g How do you generally measure ten
minutes Y" persisted the lawyer
The old sailor turned slowly in bed
aud eyed bis questioner. Then he turn.
ed slowly back again and said indiffer-
emily: Waal, sometimes wild a watch
and sometimes wild claack."
This made the old man little mad
He jerked his watch from his pocket
and said in a querulous, high. pitched
voice: " Oh, you do, do youp Well,
I'll tell you when to begin, and you tell
me when ten minutes are up"
The sailor slyly winked at the lawyer
on the other side, and he took in the
situation in an instant and made no OBJ
lection. The ex-Judge stood with his
back to q mantle on which little clock
was quietly indicating the time to the
sailor, who lay facing it.
Aye, aye" the sailor said, and re-
mained silent.
After three minutes had passed the ex-
Judge became impatient and exclaimed,
"See here, are you going to keep us
here all day? But the sailor made no
answer. AS five, six and seven minutes
went by he became almost wild in his
assumed anger at the man for keeping
them so long beyond the time. But not
until the hand of the clock was on the
exact notch of ten minutes did the sail
or speak. Then he said carelessly /:
"Guess the time mus be bout up"
The Judge put up his watch and sank
back in his chair, "Well," he said, " of
all men, dying or alive, that ever saw
you can measure time the best.''
1t is said that the ex.Judge does not
even yet know what made the other
lawyers double themselves over with
laughter as they did at the last remark
of his.

A Collision.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. Strain No. 3
on the Racine and southwest division
of the G. NJ. & St. P. R'y, when an
preaching Fulton Junction from the
east, about 1920 A. NJ, ran into a
freight train on the C. 4 N. w. road
approaching from the west. The en-
CINE of No. 2 struck the third car from
the head of the freight train, COM
pletely wrecking three cars. Station
Agent, John Flanagan and little child
who were standing near by, were in
stantly killed by the freight car, it be-
ing thrown on them. His wife was
also standing near by, but escaped in
jury. The engine No. 2, was badly
wrecked.
The cause of the accident is attrib-
uted to a failure Of the air
breaks to work. Mr.. Bliss, the
engineer of the passenger train,
has been in the employ of the COM
pany twenty years, and one of the
most careful on the road. No blame is
attached ito him. Mr.. Flanagan had
that morning just returned from Free
port from the funeral of his father.

their annual meeting yesterday,
Robert c. Winthrop, president of the
board, in the chair. Ex-President
Hayes was present. The annual report
spoke favorably Of the advancement in
educational matter in the south, and
reviewed at length the work accom-
plished, which was great and gratifying,
as had been the progress both in the
public sentiment and educational
system. The report said it must not
be concluded that free schools were es-
tablished beyond the possibility of re-
peal or destruction. The instruction of
the board, to app y a greater portion
Of the income fund hereafter to the

schools, has met with general and de-
,ided approval. The income distribut-
I'd since February l, 1881, amounted

dow They Salt a Claim.
Laramie Boomerang.

81 wish you would explain TO me all
about this sailing of claims that | hear
so much about" said d .,eek-eyed
tenderfoot to a grizzly old Inner, who
was panning about six ounces of pull
verized quartz. ~ don't see what they
want to salt a claim for, and / don't
understand how they do it,"
"Well, you see, a hot season like this
they have to salt claim lots of times
to keep it. A fresh claim is good
enough for fresh tenderfoot but old
timers won't look at anything but a
picked claim. You know what quartz
is, probably?"
NO" ......
Dwell, every claim has quartz Some
more and some less. You find GU
how many quartz there are, and then
put in so many pounds of salt to the
quart. Wild cat claims require more
salt. because the wild cat spoils quicker
than anything else.
Sometimes you catch sucker, too,
and you have to put him in brine pretty
plenty, or you will lose him. That's
one reason why they salt a claim.
Then, again, you often grub stake a
man"
But what is a grub stalker"
'Well, y grub stake is stake that
the boys hang their grub on so they
can carry it. Lots of mining men
have been knocked cold by blow from
q grub stake.
What 1 wanted to say, though, was
this: You will probably at first strike
free milling poverty, with indications
of something else. Then you will no
doubt sink till you strike bedrock, or
a true assure gopher hole, with traces
of disappointment.
That's the time to Put in your salt.
You can shoot it into the shaft with
double-barreled shotgun or wet it and
apply it with whitewash brush. If
people turn up their noses at your
claim then, and say it is snide, and
that there is something rotten in Den
mark, you can tell them that they are
clear Oft. and that you have sailed
your claim, and that you know it is all
right"
The last seen of the tenderfoot he
was buying doubIe-barreled shot gun
and ten pounds of rocksalt.
There is no doubt but mining camp
is the place to send young man who
wants to acquire knowledge and fill his
system full of information that will be
useful to him SO long as he lives.
