sKiFPED Our.
A Teacher In Humphreys BADLY
Wanted BY Divers Creditors.
Waverly journal.

WefoAJ ao1AuhAs
Professor James Waggoner, who
had been teaching school at different
places in this county for the last few
years, skipped out from these ends O.
the earth some ten days ago. He has
a history. Ii seems that during biz
voyage through lille he had sojourned
at several places 10 different States il
this country before his destiny led
him hither; and whittier he went frou
here 10 one seems to know or to have
been informed by him. 1t is said
that partings and parting salutatiOns
OF friends on these mundane shores
are always tinged with more or less OF
sadness, or simply a sad significance
The Professor doubtless appreciates
this, and his fine aud tender sensibili
ties did not allow him to subject his
friends to the ordeal of leave takings,
or to break to them the announce
ment Of the distant, strange land the
star Of his destiny pointed him to
But, like an angel or an Arab-his
mission here performed-he disap
peared or quietly stole away. 1t is
supposed, however, that he went with
the tide of emigration, westward. He
was a preacher as we'll as an educator
of the youth, and is said to have led
many into tho fold of his (the Chris
tiln) church. He was als,, Q a while,
sur erintendent of Public SCHOOLS; but
for some alleged crookedness in that
position, the County Court called on
him to rise before a committee and
explain, and rather than do this he
resigned.
With his titles of Rev.. Prof. and
Supt. he purchased on a credit extern
sive and expensive school apparatus.
He also got credit with n of our
Waverly mercantile firms for about
500 worth of goods. And he was
not one of Shakespeare bad fellows"
with no more music in his soul"
He had music in his soul, and he
purchased a fine parlor organ from a
house in Nashville on credit. The
contract was, it is said, that the or
Gan was not to be his until paid for.
But the Rev. Prof. ex Supt. col
lected all that was owing to him, and
packed all his goods and ohattles-
including the school apparatus and
parlor organ, etc, and shipped them
and himself to some other part of this
moral vineyard, without leaving any
estate behind to be administered, and
without as much as notifying his con
6ding creditors where his future ad-
dress would be.
Since writing the above, we have
learned that the Christian church, at
B ,kerville, dismis Cd or turned Prof.
Waggoner out Of that church, last
spring, for refusing to pay a debt it
was thought he should pay, and that
he afterwards gained admittance to
membership in the Methodist church
and held such membership at the
time Of his hegira. We have not
learned whether or not he took with
him a letter from his church CON-
mending him to his brethren where
he may pitch his tent and cast his lot
in the land far away toward the Gold
en- Gate and setting sun, whittier, at
last accounts, his curse was tending.

The superlative tramp of the world
died near Sydney, New South Wales.
2 few weeks ago. He was Christian
Frederick Schaefe by name and by
Dirth a Hesslan. Though afflicted
with a spinal complaint and a delicate
constitution, he was a wanderer upon
the face of the earth To an extent
which the Wandering Jew never
conceived of, and he must serve for ali
time as a model in his line He never
asked for or wonld accept money.
sayingathat he had no use for il "a
long as he could beg food and clothes
1t Is supposed that he had walked
more than 100000 miles in maxine
successfully the tour Of Germany
France, Spain, Northsrn Africa
turkey, Italy, Greece, England. tbe
Unlted States, New Zealand and
Australia. Occasionally, when abso
lute necessity required, as for instance
on shlpboard, he would do a little
work, but his apparent feeblenese
always excited pity and saved him
rom hard labor. he was honest and
harmless; thousands of people, The
world over, thought kindly Of him.
when he fell sick he was tepjerIy
nursed, and when he died his body
received a decent burial. Itis though,
that he was a little wrong in the head

An Indian youth and maiden be-
longing to one Of the tribes of British
Columbia who had intended to post
pone their marriage until such time as
the instructions of their missionary
should have fitted them to 90 through
the ceremony after the manner of

the Princess Louise arrived in their

TO be married in the presence Of their
great white mothers daughter" and
the Princess cheerfully acquiesced.
The friends of the contracting parties
we're arranged 10 two long rows facing
each other, the chiefs, the bride and
groom and the nearest relatives occu
plying a cross seat at the head of the
two rows. The father of the bride
made az address, in the course Of
which he said that he was giving his
daughter to he young man and that
hereafter she would be the same as
dead to him. Thereupon a large dish
was placed upon'the ground, into which
the friends of the groom cast money
to compensate the old man for his loss.
This consylatoiy offering occupied
considerable time, aud when the count
was made the dish was found to con.
tain $500. The ceremony ended with
a feast.

Emerson and Margaret Fuller.

Ralph Waldo Emerson had returned
from Europe, had recovered his health,
had married a second time. had settled
at Concord, and he and I gotten over
being shy with each other; but he had
not gotten on as we'll with Margaret
Fuller. Margaret wrote poetry. and
people laughed about it, and said she
wrote it in fits Of exaltation, which she
called s'intense times" This gave Mr..
Emerson, who was very simple and
natural, prejudice against her.
One day, when visiting at his house,
I expressed the wish that he could know
Margaret better.
Mrs. Emerson, who is the soul of dis
interested kindness, proposed at once
that Margaret be invited to come to
their house.
''Oh, no." cried Mr.. Emerson; 81
don't want to know lady who has sin-
tense times, and writes poetry in them. -
Then I went on and told how I had
the same prejudice; how it all melted
away when I conversed with her, and
how, in talking with me, she had made
the whole universe look larger. At
this assurance Mr.. Emerson's face sud-
denly lighted, and turning to his wife,
he exclaimed:
eyes, Queenie, you are right. Invite
her by all means. Let us welcome any
young woman whose converse can make
the whole --:verse look larger to u.s."

The LARGEST Telescope.

The largest telescope in use is the
great reflector OF the Earl of Rose, at
Parsontown, Ireland. The instrument
weighs twelve tons. The speculum is
six feet in diameter, and has focal
length of about fifty-fve feet. The larg-
est and most effective retractor tele-
scope in the world now in actual use is
the one in the Naval Observatory in
Washington, constructed by our coun-
trymen, Alvin Clark & Sons, Cam
bridge, Mass. This is the instrument
which has been rendered famous by the
discovery of the two moons of Mars.
An instrument of one-inch greater aper-
ture has just been mounted in the I'M
perial Observatory at Vienna, the one
at Washington having an aperture of
twenty-six inches, and that at Vienna
twenty-seven. Two still greater re-
tractor telescopes have been ordered,
one for the Imperial Observatory at
Pultowa, Russia, with glass of thirty
inches diameter and focal length of
forty-five feet, and another, of equal or
greater dimensions, to be mounted in
the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamil-
ton, near San Francisco. Calico is
regarded as the inventor Of the tele-
scope, although before he exhibited his
instrument at Padua, Italy, in 1909
Hans Lippershun, OF Holland, had in
rented the convex object glass, and
Ga;ileo is said to have got his idea from
hearing Of discoveries made by Metius,
2 Hollander, through combination OF
lenses.

Keep 1t To YOurSen.

You have trouble, your feelings are
injured, your husband is unkind, your
wife frets, your home is not pleasant,
your friends do not treat you fairly, and
things in general move unpleasantly.
Well, what of it? keep it to yourself. A
smouldering fire can be found and ex-
tingujshed; but, when Goals are scat
tered, you can't pick them up. Bury
your sorrow. The place for sad and
disgustings things is underground. A
cut finger is not benefited by pulling off
the plaster and exposing it to some
hody's eye. Charity covereth null
titude of sins. Things thus covered are
cured without scar; but once publish
ed and confded to meddling friends,
there is no end to the trouble they may
cause. Keep it to yourself. Troubles
are transient; and when sorrow is
healed and passed, what a comfort it is
to say, ''No one ever knew it till it was
over"

Aann Dickinson and Rem Rvt,er

heard good story to-day, writes a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press.
concerning Anna Dickinson and Gen.
sets. When Butler Tplaced New Orleans
under the rigor of military rule in 1862
and issued his famous order against the
women of that city who showed their con-
tempt for his officers by splitting in their
faces, there was howl raised North and
South, and he was described
by such pet names as
<sBeast Butler,'' spoons But.er.' etc.
At that time Anna Dickinson was the star
of the lyceum, speaking nightly in the
principal cities of the Union, and having
made herself familiar with the circum-
stances of the New Orleans affair, she bold
ly championed the cause of Butler, claimed
that by his splendid administration he had
preserved New Orleans from pestilence
and disturbance, and that his order simply
meant that women who misbehaved on the
streets by insulting his officers should be
placed under arrest. Nothing but South
'ern venom and Northern cowardice,
she said, accuse him of anything
else; and she boldly declared from public
platform in Boston, in the presence
of an audience that hated Butler, that, in
stead of being attacked and maligned, he
should be honored as brave soldier who
had done his duty fearlessly. In those
days 1t was worth something to be cham
pioned by Anna Dickinson, and to receive
praise from her lips. that were SO accus-
toned to criticize, would have touched the
heart of one less capable of appreciation
