request that he furnish her with poison

brother, Of whom she was ensnored, and
herself might together enjoy the insurance
Of 81, 500, which the husband carried. After
making an appointment to meet both at his
Office last evening, the doctor arranged with
the police and several interested insurance
men to be present, but concealed, at the In.

$50 or 500 and then he walked upon the

and behold! there was no man in II. The

The adventures Of Mr.. Bsrnum's daring
agents In their pursuit Of white elephant,
regardless of expense, form one of the most
thrilling chapters in recent advertising. How
the agent was rebuked for his basphemous
proposition by an aged uncle of the King OF
Siam; how he afterwards bought . white
elephant secretly from Siamese nobleman,
still regardless Of expense, only TO have it
poisoned by jealous Buddhists; how the be-
roic Barnum csbled 10 double the price, and
how, after months of diplomacy and large
brides TO courtiers, the King of Burmah was
Induced to sell bis best white elephant, send
Ing with II q certificate Of character under
his own hand and seal-all this has been
duly set forth. The interesting inform alton

Origin of the Term John Ball"

DR.. John Bull was the first Gresham Pro-
fessor Of Music, and organist and composer
to Queen Elizabeth. John, like true Eng
lishman, travelled for improvement; and
having heard of = famous musician at ST..
Omers, he placed himself under him as .
novice. But circumstance soon convinced
the master that he was inferior 10 the scholar.
The musician showed John . song which he
bad composed In forty parts! telling him al
the same time that he defed all the world 10
produce person capable of adding another
part to his composition. Bull desired to he
left alone, and to be INDUCED for short
time with pen and ink. In less than three
hours he added forty parts more TO the song,
upon which the Frenchman was so surprised
that he swcre, in great ecstacy, he must be
either the Dera or John Bull; which has
ever since been proverbial in England.

sketch Of the Msssach usetts Constitution
Boston GlObn

Boston Globe.
Mr.. Benjamin Kimball spoke on "The
Constitution OF Massachusetts" This docu.
ment, he said, was developed independ IDENTIFY
OF any idea of relationship to . nation. II
was made distinctly for al independent, SOW.
ereign State. As early as May, 1775, Mass..
chusetts asked the Continental Congress for
instructions concerning the form and provis-
ions OF local government. Congress practi-
cally evaded the question by advising the
colony to retain the general provisions of the
original charter; but In the following year
the Congress advised that oil forms Of royal
authority be abandoned. Consequently the
General Court drew up and submitted con.
stitution TO the people, upon which. they
voted In TITS. Boston voted unanimously
against this instrument, and IL was rejected
throughout the State by about 10000 TO 81.
600. The general objection to II was that
the Legislature was not the proper body to
draw up such document. Accordingly In
ITO the General Court submitted two ques.
lions TO the people: First, whether new
constitution should be framed; second, should
. convention Of delegates be called to frame
IL.
Both questions were answered sffirmatively,
and In September, ITO, the convention as
ssmbled at Cambridge. The following
members were appointed q committee to
draft an instrument for consideration: John
Lowell, James Bowdoin, John Adams and
Samuel Adams. The actual work Of author.
ship devolved upon John Adams, and the
