Practical Completion of the Plan for Con-

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The plan for con-
solidating the internal revenue collection
districts, in accordance with the action
OF Congress at its last session,
has been practically agreed upon
by the President and the Secretary
of the Treasury. The reorganization of the
service has been blocked out in all the States
except two, in regard to which there is some
doubt. 1t is expected, however, that the
matter will be settled finally next week.
While no definite information can be OBJ
tanned, it is believed that Ohio is one of the
States whose service is still under considera-

NASHVILLE, June 16.-This city was thrown

Story, rather notorious character. The
scene of the murder was located on the N,

and the cause, quarrel over woman OF ILL
repute, Minnie Helm by name. Beaver and
the woman were sitting near the track, wait
ing for a train to pass, when Storey ap-
preached, and the two quickly got into a
fight over the woman, in the course of which
Beaver was knocked down, whereupon he
drew revolver and shot Storey through
the hand. Putting it back in his pocket,
he again resorted to his fists, but
soon called on the woman to get his revolver
out of his pocket again, and as she did so
Storey grabbed 1t from her and fired two
shots at Beaver from the effects of which he
died in few minutes. Beaver lived about
two miles south of Fayetteville, in Noble
township, on the county line. He was a
man of family, about thirty-eight years of
age, and well related. Storey was arrested
by Detective Carr and his son, Grant Carr.
He has been In innumerable scrapes, and is
known for his general worthlessness. Squire
Guire shot at him while trying to arrest him
a few years ago, on peace warrant and it
is alleged that he has been in the peniten-

Dealing In Riddles.

Charles Reade tells one tale of the
romance of fddle-dealing which is
charming. There was certain precious
violoncello at Madrid. It was a gen
uine Stradiyarius. The local maker,
one Ortega, had put in a new belly
and sold it, keeping the old belly in his
shop. III. Chanot, " the best Judge of
vioIins left, now Tarisio is gone, "
lighted upon the old belly and bought
it. Tarisio then discovered it and
pestered Chanot till he sold it for 900
francs, and told him where the remand
er was to be found. The owner was
persuaded to part with It for 1000
francs, and Tarisio started exultant for
Paris with the Spanish bass IN a case.
He never left it out of his sight. The
pair were caught by a storm In the Bay
of Biscay. The ship rolled; Tarisio
clasped his bass tight, and trembled

There was also an epheneral insect
called Luigi Tarisio, who would have

no impression on his mind. De mini

these mysteries, called Vuillaume, with
the help CT a sacred vessel, called the
giuepot, soon rewedded the back and

now just what it was when the rufian

A Beggar'S Ruse.

4 man Of genius, but somewhat seedy
and negligent of apparel, called on an
old friend, an insurance agent down
town, whom he had not seen for several
months, and after the usual greetings
the conversation, by mutual consent,
dropped into matters literature and
philosophy.
by the way, remarked the genial
visitor, there's good thing from En-
erson. You know, when good thing
strikes me, 1 iot it down. It exactly
fits my case in the present instance.
Taking a scrap paper from his
pocket; he read. 4.
IF you visit yo.5e friend, why need
you apologize for not having visited
him, and waste your time and deface
your own act? Visit him now. Let
lin feel that the highest love has come
to see him In thee-its lowest organ Or
why need you torment yourself and
friend by secret self-reproaches that
YOU have not assisted him or compI-
mented him with gifts and salutations
heretofore? Be a gift and benediction.
Shine with real light and not with the
borrowed reflection of gifts. Common
men are apologists for men; they bow
the head, excuse themselves with pro-
lix reasons, and accumulate appearances
because the substance is not.
How keen, how philosophic, how
true!" exclaimed the visited.
"The genius Of truth" added the
visitor.
Then, buttoning his coat, he arose
and prepared to go. AS he approached
the door he turned back, and, with a
nonchalant air, remarked.
ooh, forgot. You haven't a dollar
about you, you are not going to use for
an hour or two, have you?"

sympathetic answer. Indianapolis

John C. Calhoun.

Mr.. Calhoun spoke like college
professor demonstrating to his class.
His position was stationary, and he
used no gesiculation. His pale and
livid countenance indicated the cloister.
His voice was silvery and attractive, but
very earnest. His eyes indicated quick
perception. Starting with the most
plausible premises, he would carry you
nresistibly along with more plausible
reasoning until you would be puzzled
to know how much back-track it was
indispensably necessary for you to take
to avoid conclusions which would make
it difficult to tell the difference between
your views and those OF a South Carolina
Secessionist. After having heard all
the Senators speak, if stranger should
select. the one, irrespective of doctrine,
who came nearest saint, he would
select Mr.. Calhoun, and such he Is held
to be through most of the South to this
day. College professors in the South
were his great admirers, and taught his
doctrines to their students. Educated
clergymen and all fashionable society
there lost no opportunities of manifest
ing their admiration of him. "Have You
seen Mr.. Calhoun?" do you think of
leaving without seeing Mr.. Calhoun ?"
were questions invariably asked by
Southern Congressman of their con-
stituents visiting Washington. And Mr..
Calhoun's prestige was SO worked up that
Southern visitors, both gentlemen
and ladies. were as much expected to
call upon him as upon the President.
AT She time of his death he was gaining
a strong foothold among the scholars OF
the North, who seemed incapable of re-
sistirG the seductive reasoning OF his
perceptive, comprehensive and analytic
mind. Senator John ?. Hale, of New
Hampshire, once came to my seat and
said: Il am going to astonish you. Mr..
Calhoun has Just brought me letter,
which he said he had just received from
President Nathan Lord, of Dartmouth
College, and asked me great many
questions about him and the college. He
left me, asserting that President Lord
was one of the ablest thinkers and pro-
foundeSt reaSoners In the country.
At that time President Lord was not
only the head of the college, but of the
Congregational denomination IN New
England With bravery worthy OF a
better cause, he followed Mr.. Cal
houn's doctrines to their natural Sc
quence, and he had to give up his posi-
ton. No man ever exerted the mt1u-
ence upon this country that Mr.. Cal
houn did All the calamities of the, late
war were the legitimate outgrowth Of
doctrines of which he was the father.
and to which the sincerity of his devo-
ton was manifested by his advocacy Of
them in his dying hour. = RemiaeiS.

A New England HuSkis% Bee.

When the guests have all arrived. the
boys go to work and pull great armfuls
of hay from the NOV, which they spread
around the heap of corn. Then each
seats himself by his favorite girl, draws
bundle of husks into the hay between
them, and the husking begins. Work
is by no means suffered, however, to
interfere with play. The merry joke
goes round: the stolen mitten travels
about the circle and back to its owner
at last. If girl happens to pull the
husk from a dark-red ear, she must for
felt kiss to the lad nearest or quickest
to snatch it. As fast as the ears are re-
moved from the husks they are thrown
into separate piles, one for each party,
on opposite sides of the heap; and there
is sure TO be deal of pleasant rivalry to
see which viii have the larger heap of
corn when the husking is done. It is
wonderful to see how fast the mountain
of unhusked corn is lowered, though
the farmer and his boys keep bringing
fresh basketfuls and piling them on the
heap. A perfect storm of the golden
ears keeps raining on each pile Of corn.
AS the supply of material fails, the con-
test wakes warmer. The girls throw
off their hoods and shawls, and the boys
fling aside their overcoats. The warm
blood of health rushes to each cheek,
and the faster the hands fly the bright
er do the faces grow, and the last few
ears are scrambled for by the contend
ing sides, and with shouts of merriment
the husking is finished. The victorious
side is first furnished with refreshments.
Great platefuls of doughnuts and 'frit-
ters," and slices of snowy cake, pie cut
in generous pieces, cider and apples,
nuts and homemade candy are passed
around The "old folks" come stamp
ing in by twos and threes, and are i'm
meliately assailed with conflicting sto-
ries of Individual prowess and associate
achievement, and then stuffed with
good things to stop their laughing. BY
Il o'clock the festivities are over, and
tie merry company disperses, two and
two. The farmer takes down the liant
eIn, closes the big born, and retires tC
the kitchen to smoke his pipe and cal
eyllate how many bushels of corn he vii
have when it is "off the ear Troy
