sey that he had violated confidence during
his term of Office, said: San answer is not

falsehoods from beginning to end, except
ing one solitary fact-that objected to
any secret examination. Before entered
the cabinet Of President Garfield, Dorsey
painted me in very unfavorable colors. If
I was as bad as he represented, why did he

with this confidential business. Every

The DEVILS Tramping Ground.

In this county, about three miles from
the Randolph line, is place that has
been known to the oldest inhabitant and
his grandparents as the "Devil's Tramp
ing Ground" Situated III the woods
and surrounded by giant trees, princi-
pally read oak and short-leaf piLes, is q
circle about twenty five feet in diameter
as perfect as though drawn with COM
pass, the circle being marked by path
as clean cut as though used every day !;
through the center another path, equally
as clean, about one degree to the east of
north of south /; no paths to and from,
and none except cow-paths in the neigh
borhood. The soil of the country is red
clay, thickly strewn with rocks, and no
grass except short scrub blades that
struggle rather unsuccessfully for exist
ence. The soil within the circle is sand,
mixed with clay, and covered with q
thick growth of long wire grass (not an
other bunch of which grows within
eight miles of the place., and which
never crosses the path that marks the
circle, and though large trees have grown
and rotted to the ground at the edge of
the plat, not one has ventured to intrude
within the ring. The natives have all of
them superstitious dread of the place,
and it was with difficulty L succeeded in
getting one of them to visit the place
with me for the purpose of digging into
it, and after getting down about three
feet and finding nothing, he was so i'm
pressed with the supernatural origin
that he refused to go any further.-Guif

A lucky instance Of this kind was the
discovery OF the principle OF the tele
scope.
Nearly 800 years ago, there was living
In the town OF Middelburg, on the islanc

poor optician named Hans Lippersheim
One day, in the year 1908, he was work.
ing in his shop, his children helping
him in various small ways, or rompinp
about and amusing themselves with the
tools and objects lying on his work.
bench, when suddenly his little girl
exclaimed
"Oh, papa Sas how near the steeple
comes |"
Half-startled by this announcement,
the honest Hans looked up from his
work. curious to know the cause of the
child's amazement. Turning toward
her, he saw that she was looking through
two lenses, one held close to her eye
and the other at arms length; and, call
ing his daughter to his side, he noticed
that the eye-lens was plano-concave Cor
fat on one side and followed out on the
other), while the one held at distance
was plano-convex Cor flat on one side
and bullying ON the other). Then, TAX
ing the two glasses, he repeated his
daughters experiment, and soon dis
covered that she had CHANGED to hold the
lenses apart at their exact focus, and
this had produced the wonderful effect
that she had observed. His quick wit
and skilled invention saw in this acct
dent a wonderful discovery. He imme-
diately set about making use of his new
knowledge of lenses, and ere long he
had fashioned tube of pasteboard, in
which he set the glasses firmly at their
exact focus.
This rough tube was the germ of that
great instrument the telescope, to which
modern science owes so much. And it
was on October %, 1908, that Lippers-
helm sent to his Government three tel
escapes made by himself, calling them
instruments by means of which to see
at a distance"
Not long afterward another man,
Jacob Adriansz, or Metius, of Alkrnaar,
q town about twenty miles from Amster-
dam, claimed to have discovered the
principle of the telescope two years
earlier than Hans Lippersheim and it is
generally acknowledged that to one of
these two men belongs the honor of in.
venting the instrument. But it seems
certain that Hans Lippersheim had
never known nor heard Of the discovery
made by Adriansz, and so il Adriansz
had not lived we still should owe to
Hans Lippersheim's quick wit, and his
little daughters lucky meddling, one OF
the most valuable and wonderful OF
human inventions. Nicholas.

SINCE 1860 the proportion OF Ameri-
can immigration to the native-born pop
ulation has been steadily maintained at
close upon 13per cent, but the division
of the nationalities seeking homes in
the United States has fuctuated consid-
erably. After the terrible famine in
Ireland in 1S4S, Irish emigration to
America was greatly stimulated, so much
so that the island furnished nearly half
of the increase of the population of the
republic from without. But there has
been decided diminution of the Irish
arrivals as compared with those from
other countries. In 1850 the Irish con-
stituted 1875 per cent. of the foreign
born population in 1860, 3S. 8 per cent. I;
in 1870, 1873 per cent. The statistics of
the census of 1880 are not complete in
this regard, but from obtainable data it
is estimated that the proportion, so high
in 1850, has fallen to about ~ per cent.
of the whole. Germans and Scandina-
VANS are taking the ascendant The
Irish continue to arrive in great num-
bers. but not as plentifully as even the
English, and not near so numerously as
the Germans.

The public no doubt remembers the
famous express robbery at gainesville,
Ohio, in 1878, or more properly the
famous loss of $2l 1000, for the express
messenger and agent, although arrested
and under cloud all the time, insisted
that the money either fell from or was
taken out of the express wagon while
going from the Office to the depot. After
no end of detectives and experts worked
for about year on the case twas given
over for time to solve the mystery of the
loss. In 1881, Martin Noonan, a teams
ter, in moderate circumstances, living in
gainesville, loaned some money, which
got into the hands of o. p. Quiggle, of
Chardon. He noticed that the bills
smelled musty, and stuck together as
though they had been packed away for
some time. He informed an officer. The
money was traced to Noonan, and he was
arrested. In straw bed in his house,
in tin box, was found Sc, 800 in bills,
which were identified as those of the lost
express money. 1t was shown that
Noonan, on the day Of the loss of the
money, had been hauling lumber over
the road over which the express wagon
passed. 1t is supposed the bag fell from
the wagon, and that Noonan picked it
up. No suspicion had attached to him
previous to his loaning the money re-
ferred to. Nearly one-half of the 81, 900
is still unaccounted for. Noonan was

duced in the Senate joint resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution of the
United States that will allow the people to
elect the large army Of Federal office
holders commissioned by the President. SEN
atcr Saunders is q member Of the Committee
on Civil-Service Reform, and he says that, after
studying this subject carefully, he Is satisfied
that his resolution embodies reform in it's most
practical shape. He claims that to make these
officers elective by the people would relieve the
President of much of the annoyance and
vexation that now attaches to his Office.
and would also be great relief to members
OF Congress. He says that half the time OF q
Congressman is occupied in attending to the
distributing Of Federal offices, and that the
President complains that the duty Of filling the
petty Offices of the Government imposes
the heaviest burden upon him. Mr.. Saunders
thinks this can be remedied by giving the peo-
pie power to choose their own officers, and II
they make any mistakes they will
soon remedy them. Senator Saun-
ders' proposed constitutional amendment
will enable election to be made by the people Of
Postmasters, United States Marshals, District
Attorneys OF United States Courts, Collectors
Of Internal Revenue and other officers whose
duties are to be performed within the limits of
any State or part of State, except Judges OF
the Supreme and inferior courts and provides
that all civil officers Of the United States,
heads OF departments, and officers whose du-
ties are temporary in their character, shall hold
Office for term Of four years, unless a longer
term shall be fixed by Law. The amendment
empowers the President to remove any officer
elected for any cause affecting thu incumbents
character, habits or other qualifications, ex-
cepting political or religious opinions the Off
GERS mentioned to be elected in such manner ~
the State Legislatures shall prescribe.
