The hour selected for the auction was II
o'clock. Half an hour before the time desg-
mated a score or more of the gray bearded
and sun-browned farmers and residents of
Chappaqua congregated at the little village
postoffice on the main street, in front of the
''Meadow farm" and discussed the events of
years ago when Horace Greeley was farmer
among them.
As the hour of ~ o'clock drew near the
little porch in front of the postoffice was
we'll filled with villagers. Promptly at noon
Miss Greeley drove slowly up TO the post
Office in a half-phaeton top-hucEy Behind a
handsome, high-spirited bay horse She was
alone, and was dressed in deep mourning
She stopped in front of the little knot of
villagers on the stoop, and every hat was
raised TO her She bowed and smiled pleas
antly upon the farmers, many of whom were
her fathers warmest and stanchest friends
ana admirers A little group of men sur
rounded the wagon and spoke to Miss Gree
lev. 1t was Immediately understood that
she had come with view to bid in the prop
ertv Mr.. Haight. the trustee then ap-
peared on the stoop and opened the sale by
reading the order OF the court and descrip-
ton of the property which consists of a
little over seventy-eight acres. When he
had finished reading, Mr. Haight said:
NOW, gentlemen, what am bid for this
property?'
Zen thousand dollars, Salu MISS Greeley,
in a clear voice, leaning forward in her buggy
as she spoke.
Good Good" exclaimed number of per-
sons. III she wants the place nobody will
bid against her. And nobody did bid
against her. although there were two men in
the group VINO would have bid $40 900 if they
had thought that Miss Greeley did not want
the farm. The auctoneer used every en-
deavor to get up an opposition bid, and, after
n knocked
the property down to Miss Greeley for $l0-
600 Miss Greeley's buggy was Immediately
surrounded by a score of bronzed men, who
congratulated her upon her purchase.
In answer to questions as to her object in
buying the farm Miss Greeley said "The old
place is dear to me. ! am the only survivor
of my fathers family and | want to keep
the property as long as | live in memory of
him." She further said that she felt grateful
to her friends, who had acted so generously
toward her in the matter and should always
retain pleasant memories OF them.

The Indiana Medical Journal for the cur
rent month contains original communica-
tons by Drs. VIM. H. Tay Tor, J. H. Berst, T.
S. Galbrath and George ]. Cook, all of Indi-
ana. There is also a spirited editorial arti-
cle--the State Board of Health and Vacci-
nation-condemning the action of the board
for its recent action leaving vaccination vol
untary with individuals, especially Sin
view of the fact that it was chiefly the en-
forcement of the compulsory vaccination
order which saved Indianapolis and the
State at large from a terrible scourge of
smallpox in 1882" The board still adheres
to the old rule that all vaccination shall be
made with bovine virus. 'The opinion of
many intelligent physicians of this and other
States that vaccination with bovine virus is
attended with more danger than vaccination
with humanized virus, and does not afford
greater protection than the latter, is not
without foundation, as witness the number
OF bad arms, erysipelatous arms, arms with
assesses, which would not heal for months,
and in some cases the deaths that followed
bovine vaccination during the threatened
epidemic of smallpox of 1882"

VIII DC credit to, the
OF that character ever erected in the state,
The Queen City Of Texas is expecting a
large number Of guests upon that occasion,
and she proposes 10 entertain them right

and the country at large that she will give
an entertainment that will surpass any
thing of the kind ever before given within
the borders of the Lone Star
state. The mixed chorus 10
hard at work practicing, meeting
three times week, and at present numbers
some eighty members. There are thirty
six active members of the Frohsinn Singing
society who are busy rehearsing for the &C.
caslon. The letters received by the secre
tary from all sections of the
country are very encouraging.
The first singing society organized in this
state was at New Braunfels, 1t was or
ganized in 1851, other places soon followed,
and in 1853 through the management of the
New Braunfels society the first sengertest
was held Mt that place, and that society
was the first one that ever carried off
prize for its singing. 1t consisted of flag,
and the same is still In possession OF that
society. The people being DESTROYS of hav-
ing more tests OF the kind, on October 10,
1858, organized the Texas Sengerlest. In
1854 the second fest was held at San An
tonic, and the singers numbered eighty
that took part in the same. May the 18th
and 10th, 1855, New Braunfels had the
third fest, and October, 1856, the fourth at
the same place. The fifth at San Anto-
Mo, October 10th, 18th and 18th, 1857, was
not as large as those previous, only three
societies taking part. The seventh iesl, and
last one before the war, was again held at
New Brauntels, in the fall of 1860, and here
the first mixed chorus lConcordia, of Fred
ericksburg,) took part. On the 22d and 23d
of August, 1869, the eighth test-the one
after the close of the war-was again held
at New Braunfels, San Antonio, Boerne and
Austin societies taking part, And We find
that the ninth fest was again celebrated at
New Braunfels, May 11th, 18th and 18th,
1873. They had the largest hall that had
ever been erected for that purpose. In 1875,
in the spring, the tenth was celebrated in
San Antonio; also, the eleventh, in 1877.
In 1879, April 10Th, 10th and 17th, at Aus
tin. Here they had the first large orchestra
to assist in making the fest success. In
1881, at Galveston, the largest fest of its
kind was celebrated, and now we have the
fourteenth at Dallas. The dates are, as is
known, May 18th to 18th, and if expecta-
tions are fulfilled, this will be the grandest
affair ever held in Texas.

That Vacancy.

WILMINGTON, April 1.-The opinion of
the attorney general on the subject OF the
presidents powers in filling the vacancy in
the post-office department, is in effect that
the president can make one temporary des-
ignation for ten days only. But, the attor
ney general further holds, however, that
the hrst-assistant postmaster general can
lawfully act as postmaster-general tor ten
days without such designation. By this
construction of the law the president is al
lowed twenty days from the date of the
creation of the vacancy in which to make
the appointment. The president will
probably leave the city Wednesday morn
ing next, for Florida, and it is stated at the
White House that no appointment will be
made until after his return.

On reaching home and acquainting his
wife with what he had done, she refused IN

was strongly in favor of Homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home the
day following, the father found the baby
still worse; and while contemplating an
other sleepless night, the mother stepped
from the room to attend to some domestic
duties, and left the fsther with the child.
During her absence he administered por.

said nothing. That night all hands slept
well, and the little fellow awoke in the
morning bright and happy. The mother
