J. Bancroft Davis, the new assist
ant secretary of state, began his ca
reer in diplomacy very early in life
as secretary Of legation in London,
where he served from 1S49 to 1852.
lie became assistant secretary of
state in 1869, when Mr.. Fish took
control of the state department.
MIR. Davis had large share in the
negotiations preliminary to the SET
Element of the Alabama claims, be-
ing secretary as well as member Of
the high commission which conclu-
ded the treaty of Washington in
1871. In the same year he became
the agent of the United States before
the tribunal Of arbitration at Geneva,
where again bis services were of
great value. On his return he re-
sumed the place of assistant secreta-
ry of state, and in 1874 was appoint
ed minister to Berlin. He is at pres
ent Judge of the court Of claims.
Mr.. Davis has had, it will be seen, a
long and honorable diplomatic ca
reer, and is familiar with almost ev-
cry question likely to arise between
ourselves and other countries.

Music in the Far West.

The musical critic Of Denver
paper heard Emma Abbott sing, and
in lengthy report he says:
AS singer she can just wallop
the hose off anything that ever wag-
ged jaw on the boards. From her
clear, bird-like upper notes she
would cater away down on tho bass
racket and then cushion back to
sort Of spiritual treble which made
every man in the audience imagine
every hair or his head was golden
string of a celestial harp, over
which angelic fingers were sweeping
to the inspiring tune of "Sally Put
the Kettle On" Here she would
rest awhile, trilling like an enchant-
ed bird, and then hop in among the
upper notes with git up and git
vivacity that jingled the pendants
on the chandeliers and elected
a whoop of applause from every
galoot in the mob. In the last
act she made a neat play and
worked in that famous kiss of hers
on Castle. He had her in his arms
with her head laying on his shout
der and her eyes shooting streaks ol
! galvanized love right into his. AL
at once her lips began to twitcf
coaxingly and get into position, and
when he tumbled to the racket hi
drawed her up easy like, shut hi,
eyes, and then her ripe, luscious lips
glued themselves to his and a thrill
of pleasure nabbled hold of him ane
and shook HIM till the audienc'
could almost hear his toe nails grinc
against his boots. Then she shu
her eyes and pushed harder, and
Moley Hoses!-- the s'smack" tha
followed started the stitching in CIV
cry masculine heart in the house
She's thoroughbred right from tn
start, and the fellow that takes il
her kisses is more to be envied tha
the haughtiest monarch that eve
. squatted down on a gold-plate
throne.

Boynton and Miss Sitting Bull.
Fort Randall Cor. New York Hsrsld.


Bull asked very anxiously il I
could give him any news regarding
some twenty or thirty families Of
his camp who remained behind in
Canadn, and said he would be un.
easy until he heard what had be-
come of them. He also inquired as
to the truth of n rumor that two hos
tiles had fought a duel at Standing
Rock. The process Of interpreting
being slow and slightly tedious. dur.
ing the conversation Capt. Boynton
quietly retired from the teepea and
amused himself hy flirting violently
WITH Sleeping Water, the tiNugifscf
of Sitting Bull and belle of the Sioux
nation. The two were standing so
close to the side of the teepee that !
could hear fragments of the CONVEX
satson distinctly. Flower of the
forest" said the captain, you al
most Tempt me TO desert my bachcl-
orhood. | have heard your beauty
praised all over the land, and I am
not disappointed" Then followed
dead silence and another flowery
address in mixed English and Sioux.
The captain evidently despaired of
touching the heart of the maiden in
the ordinary way. for ! heard him
suddenly cease his eloquence and
say, "Do you chew tobocco?o and |
crawled out of the teepee just in
time to see Sleeping Water put
away under her shawl d large plug
OF tobacco which Boynton had pres
ented her with. l am sorry to act
in the role of an iconoclast, but the
poetic name by which Sitting Bulls
favorite child is known is q mere in
vention. Allison interprets Sleep
ing Waters name as Her Many
Horses. When her warlike father
returned from Canada she deserted
the "buck" with whom she had pre-
viously elopcd, and the latter is liv-
ing with hostiles at Standing Rock,
not daring to follow his sweet heart
into the camp Of the Uncapapas at
Fort Randall. She is rather q come
~ sirl, but is by 10 means remark
ably beautiful.

Skipping.

Boys, | want TO ask you how you
think a conquerer would make out
who went through country he was
trying to subdue, and whenever he
found a fort hard to take, left it
alone. Don't you think the enemy
would buzz wild there like bees in a
hive; and when he was well into the
heart of the country, don't you fam
cy they would swarm out and har-
ass him terribly?
Just SO, want you to remember,
will it be with you if you skip over
the hard places in your lessons and
leave them unlearned; you have
left an enemy in the rear that will
not fail to harass you and mortify
you times without number.
There was just a little bit of my
Latin / hadn't read" said vexed
student to me, ''and it was there the
professor had to call upon me at
examination. There were Just two
or three examples I had passed over
and one Of those ] was asked to do
on the blackboard"
The student who is not thorough
ia never well at ease; he cannot for
get the skipped problem, and the
conciousness Of his own deficiencies
makes him nervous and anxious.
Never laugh at the slow, plodding
student; the time will surely come
when the laugh will be returned.
1t takes time to be thorough but it
more than pays. Resolve, when
you take up study, that you will
go through with it it like success

point.

might not be SO great a matter fol

and the habit will grow with years.

The Cause of Rheumatism.

One. of the most remarkable things
in medical science is a discovery re-
Gently made by a Philadelphia ply
sician. When SO many hundreds oi
years pass over without any new
discovery being made, and when one
is made, like vaccination, and they
are not dead sure whether it
amounts to anything or not, a new
discovery that the discoverer will
swear by is big thing. This Phil
adelphia doctor has discovered that
rheumatism is the direct result OF
cold feet. There is no discovery
that has ever been made in the hu,
man anatomy that stands 10 reason
any more than this. Many thous-
ands OF men are going around Grip
pied and bent with rheumatism,
and suffering untold agonies, and
they have never known what caused
their bones to ache. OF course they
knew that their wives had cold feet,
but they had no idea that, every
time those No 2 icicles were placed
in the small of the back to get warm,
they are sowing the seeds of rheu-
matism. We presume there is 100
pounds of male rheumatism to every
square inch of cold female foot, and
the Philadelphia doctor should be
thanked by men of rheumatic ten
denotes as well as by women of Arc
tic pedal extremetics, for his timely
discovery. There is no woman who
enjoys seeing her husband in the
throcs Of rheumatic pains, and, now
THAI they know that their cold feet
have brought about SO much suffer-
ing, we trust they will try and lead
different life. OF course we do not
expect any woman is going to bed
and leave her feet out on the floor.
or under coal stove. This could
not be expected. But they could
adopt some method to soften the rig
ors of a hard winter. They can
paint their feet a nice warm color,
or have summer sunset painted
on the instep, or fire place on the
bottom of their feet. Anything
that vii! make their feet seem warm
Will be q relief to their rlloumatic
husbands. A pair of zinc overshocs
to wear in bed would help some
very cold feet several degrees. Men
are too valuable to be crippled up
with rheumatism just for the tempo
rary comfort they can confer upon
their wives by allowing the small of
their backs to be used in lieu Of a
CRATE fire. We trust that the cold
footed portion Of our female popula
tion will look at this matter in its
true light, and if necessary leave
their feet in the porter's room at
bed time and get check tor them.

What Constitutes q Colonel.

Colonels are so abundant south of
Mason and Dixon's line that it is in
teresting to have an authoritative
showing Of what state and condition
Of man justifies the assumption Of
this title. A correspondent Of the
Kasoo Herald puts it in clear light:
Il left Jacksonville in the afternoon,
and staid all night on Mound Bayou,
with Colonel Tom Lee. never
met him before, and never heard any
one say he was q colonel, but /
know he must be. He has q big
plantation, big house with a pian-
ner in the parlor, beautiful grown
up daughter, and q windmill TO his
well. Ifa man like that amt a
colonel, where are the liberties Of the
American pcople?n
