rushed up and grasped him by the hand,
with well, Senator, old pard, how are

The man thus addressed took in the
situation at glance, and determined to
make the most of it. He extended his
hand with a cordial grip, and said:

Mrs. GARFIELD has approved of the ele-
CANT bronze plate received from Tiffany
& Co., to be attached to the bronze
coffin containing the remains of the
President. The plate is of heavy, solid
design, and possesses such intricacies of
carving that over three months were con-
sumed in its conception. Its size is 18
by s inches, and bears in raised letters
the inscription, Garfield, 1881" The
carving, to an Impractical eye, presents
simply bas-relief of leaves and acorns,
and at each end an open lily; but each
stem, twig and leaf is emblematic of the
life and character of the dead President.

HUNTERS SUPERSTITIONs.
E%ie of the Men Who Shot a White
peer-Singu ar Incident Seeming
40 Bear Uat an Old Belief.



It has always been a superstition among
the hunters Of Pike county, Pa, that to Kill
a white deer would take away all good luck
from anyone so thoughtless as to fire the
fatal shot. White deer are among the rare
animals that roam the woods They are so
rare, In fact, that many people believe them
to he myths. Old buuters declare that they
have seen deer as white as snow bounding
over the Pike county ridges IN wears gone
by, and relate instances Of the fate which
overlook them who were so rash as to kill
them. A wesl-known resident OF the county
expresses his sacred belief in the supersti-
tiOD, and relates a singular incident to show
how well founded 1t It.
"White deer" he says, care all gone from
our woods now, the last one having been
killed IN 1872 Oy HOrnbeck Sinner aud two
others That deer was well known to all
the old hunters, but Of course none OF them
ever raised a gun against It. Hornbeck
Sinner moved away from this county about
the time the war broke out, made some
money in the army and bought the Ex
change Hotel property in WilkeshsrTe. In
1872 he was worth $50 GOO. He was a good
hunter, having learned how when he lived
along the LsokswsEsn.
"Whfle camping 10 on the Shohola in
the fall OF 1872, with L z. Bevans, Of Pors
Jervis, and Henry Frank, tn nix Dis name
was, Of LuZerne county, they heard that
the white deer had been seen over near
6reeniBg's. In spite Of the protests OF the
lOcsl hunters with them, they determined
70 drive the ridge for the deer and kin it.
They succeeded in starting the deer, and
all got shot AZ It, killing it, and bringing
It into camp. Not long afterwsrd Sinners
health began to fail, although be was
rugged and strong as an OK before and
still young man. He died a lingering
death two or three years afterward.
You all know that be was brought TO the
old homestead up the river and buried. It
was found that within year or so he had
become involved financially. He died 10 the
midst OF domestic trouble, aud out OF the
fortune he had in 1872 there was hardly any
thing left. His property in Wilkesbarre was
all run down and was scattered at public sale.
In 1874 Henry Frank failed in business, and
dled OF malignant disease, with scarcely
enough money to bury him decently. l.. z.
Bevans, one of the merchants in Port Jervis
II 1872, soon afterEard became q bankrupt.
He was never the same man that be was be-
fore. and the other day he blew his brains
out in Port Jervis."

That troublesome thing, the German
alphabet, will probably soon be dropped
in Germany to give place to Latin char
acters. The former are shown to be
easier, requiring less strokes of the pen
in writing and better for the eye, the
German characters, from their resem-
blance to each other, being productive
of near sightedness. The German letters
have been maintained simply from a
feeling of patriotism, but the Roman
characters are slowly but surely coming
into practice. The Roman text is now
used in commercial circulars, on railway
tickets and currency, and to a greater
extent than ever in books and pam
phlets.
