Ht one of the hotels the other day,
a drummer went TO settle his weekly
bill, which he thought amounted 70
seven dollars and half. The clerk
told him it was only seven dollars.
"Ain't your rates seven dollars and
half PEI week?" asked the drummer.
"They are"
don't you advertise your rates to
be seven dollars and hslf?" inquired
the drummer.
ave do"
'Then why don't you charge me
seven dollars and a halt? l don't
want to live for less than any one else.
The house is footing my bills, and
there is nothing mean about me"
Seeing the drummer so angry, the
clerk took off his diamond and ex-
planned:
"We are charging you the same as
any one else."
"Then why isn't 1t seven dollars
and half?'
because you were away from din
ner the dav before yeterday, and that
takes off fifty cents, the regular re-
due"
But a dull thud interrupted the
clerk, who looked around and saw the
drummer stretched dead on the floor
He will play on his drum no more
Subsequent investigation proved thai
the man had formerly resided in &
metropoliton boarding house; and the
jury rendered its verdict accordingly
giving it as its opinion that he died o.
excitement superinduced by sudder
surprise.

ST. Louis, April l6.-A dispatch
from Williams Ranch Texas, tells an
astonishing story of the fall of a gil.

tants were startled by loud roaring

conceivable velocity and made the air
so hot that the people were nearly
stiff1ed. Not more than thirty sec
onds elapsed from the time when the
roaring noise was heard until the me.
teor struck the earth with an awful
crash. 1t fell fairly upon the house
of M. Garcia, of Macon, utterly de-
stroying it, and annihilating Garcia,
his wife and five children. All the
houses in the town were shaken and
every window broken. The meteor
was ar Eparently a hundred feet or more
in diameter, and when it struck the

the terrified people were scarcely able
to breathe, and ran away into the
woods. The air was hot and filled
with suffocating odor. 1t is now
twelve hours after the fall of the me-
teor, and 1t is still smoking. No trace
remains of the Garcia family. The
matter caused the greatest excitement
Nothing like it was ever heard of be-

with the basket of medicine under his

suddenly parted, door slammed, and,
boxing up, the future biologist saw
what he thought was an enormous fig.
ure in white, with arms outstretched,
looking down upon him. He turned
around trembling, and against the wal
opposite stood another figure in white

patients in Lancaster Castle got nc
medicine that night. But when he re-

"Old Ben Was a Soldier Every Inch.

Speaking Of army days." said Fogg,
"there was old Ben Pluckard, as brave
chap as ever drew bead on fellow

could always depend upon Ben. Did
l ever tell you about that time he was
on picket? No? Well, dye see, it
was down in front of Fredericksburg,
an awful night-black as a stack of
black cats, and raining like fun. Ben
was walking back and forth, wet to
the skin and almost dead for sleep,
when he thought he heard something.
Ben pricked up his eyeballs He
couldn't see or hear anything at first,
but bimeby he heard a footstep, and
in another instant the unmistakable
outline ofa man loomed out of the
mist and darkness. Ben brought his
piece down with jerk and hollered
out, who goes there? Friend!
came the answer Ben demanded the
countersign, but the man didn't have

A NEW SPECIES of sheep, which may be
termed the beaver-tailed variety, has been
received at Montgomery for a farmer liv-
ing near that city. The popularity of this
sheep is its tail, which is nearly foot
long and a solid piece of flesh, fiattened in
shape and something like broad troWel.
The tail is covered with short wool. This
species of sheep, it Is stated, were I'M
ported from the Cape of Good Hope, in
South Africa, and often grow to very
large size.
The STRONGEST argument against the
enfranchisement of women is, according
to Mr.. Labouchere, the power it would
throw into the hands of the clergy. "Of
course,'' he says, ''the ladies who so ener-
getically advocate the cause OF their sex
upon public platforms would not be par
ticularly amenable to this influence. But
the vast majority of their weaker sisters
would undoubtedly have recourse to their
pastors, not only for ghostly counsel and
advice, but also for political principles.
Pulpits would more than ever resemble
electiOneering platforms, and recent ex-
periences have gone far to prove that the
less clergymen have to do with politics
the better.''

MONTGOMERY Blair.

Tho announcement of the death Of Hon.
Nontoomerv Blair will be heard with
some surprise, as he was understood 10
he i'm a fair way of recovering from his
last attack. Mr.. Blair was a son Of the
late Francis Preston Blair, long the editor
of the Washington Globe, the Washing
ton organ of the Democratic party. He
was born in Franklin county, Kentucky
in 1903. He was educated at West Point,
graduating in 1885, and served IN
the Seminole war. He resigned
from the army and began the practice OF
law in St. Louis. He was appointed
United States District Attorney in 1889,
and from 1s43 to 1S49 was Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas. In 1852 ne
removed to Maryland, where his father
resided, and was appointed United States
Solicitor in the Court of Claims.
Up to the repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise he had been a Democrat, but
afterwards became a member of the
Republican party, in the organization OF
which his father took large
share. Mr.. Blair was accordingly
removed from office by President
Buchanan. In 1857 he appeared as cOun-
sci for the plaintiff in the celebrated bred
Scott case. He presided over the Mary
land Republican Convention in 1860, and
in 1861 was appointed Postmaster General
by President Lincoln, This office he held
till 1864. Since that time Mr.. Blair acted
with the Democrats. His brother Gen.
Francis Preston Blair, Jr., ran for Vice
President with Hon. HOratiO Seymour in
1868.
Mr. Blair was a thorough politician, a
profound lawyer and prominent figure
in the conventions of the Episcopal
Church. His last important move in poll
tics was his entering the Maryland Legis-
lature in 1878, where he moved the famous
MARYLAND resolutions, the object OF
which was to test the validity OF
the title of Hayes to the Presidency. The
resolutions, however, came to naught.
Mr.. Blair ran for Congress on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the Sixth Maryland dis
trict last fall, but was defeated, after an
exciting contest. Despite his weight Of
wears. Mr.. Blair retained his vigOr and
strength of intellect until the last.
