An Indomitable Interviewer,

The Capital has, in a former issue,
referred to the Sierra-Nevada-like pro-
portions of PulitZer's ''cheek. This flo
ure is feeble, but true. Ex-Mayor
Oakley Hall was approached by him on
Six separate occasions when he was in
office for an interview. Hall gracious
ly. butsuccessfully kept out of his reach.
Then Pulitzer set about the task with
seriousness. In less than two DAYS he
found the mayor at Long Branch and
followed him on the beach. o. H. saw
no escape except by plunging into the
ocean, until he luckily espied the open
door of his bath-house and darted into
the edifice. Pulitzer was too quick for
him, and half an hour later when both
emerged, the mayor was limp and pale,
while Pulitzer retired radiant and load
ed with notes. Bennett heard of the
joke on Hall at his cluD the next day,
and within six hours the Austrian was
corralled and added to the interview
staff of The Herald. Pulitzer is the man
who first succeeded in interviewing
Grant. He found him in a palace car
en- route for Chicago. He asked a prom
inent man who was talking with Grant
to give him his seat a moment, as be
wished to speak to the general. Pu-
liter then had Il broken accent. The
man vacated the seat. Pulitzer tackled
Grant, who took him for a foreign no.
blemen in search of facts about the re.
sources of the west. So Grant told
him all about his st. Louis farm, and
after giving him fifteen minutes of sol
id nonpareil, closed his conversation
with his ideas on American politics.
The page interview with U. S. Grant
tn at appeared in German newspaper
in St. Louis the next day paralyzed
Grant and the entire press west of the
glorious Wabash. And this is the ge-
MUS who goes to Italy for a count to
handle his hot chestnuts. - Washington

Getting the Laugh on a Society Beau

A charming grass widow, who sings,
had asked gentleman friend to bring
her a list of new songs to the kettle
drum, and when they met over cup
of tea she reminded him of his prom
ise.
Holding his cup in one hand, he pro-
ceeded to take a folded paper from his
side pocket with the other, and as some
girls came up to offer flowers and bon
bons, he hurriedly handed the paper to
Mrs. --. She opened it, of course,
but what was the result? A suppressed
scream and a prolonged litter. OF
course all the girls clamored to know
what was the matter, and then the men
joined in the chorus, or, as one of Bal
fours young men said: whats the
row?' Mr.. - had made mistake,
and instead of giving list of songs, as he
supposed had, handed her a list of fholiday
presents he int>nded giving to the young
ladies of his acquaintance, and the cost
of each set down opposite the names,
with comments like this:
"For Mrs. So and So, holiday book
$50; rather steep, but | have dined
there so often l must do it.
''Miss --, a fan-S10; know where
l can get one cheap.
1.-TWO Misses, gloves; get doz-
en- good, and ditto inferior quality; mix
together, best on top"
And so on, ad lib.
Poor fellow! He tried his best to re-
over the paper, but Mrs, ,-- holds
on TO it, declaring it was a bona tide Of
fering. l think it is rather mean of her,
but then I'm not 4 bit sorry for him, for
he's real mean old thing and has been
going through society since before ma
was married, and he's such gossip
himself, its nice to see the tables turned
once in while. Francisco NeWs

One ofAtorgan's Raids.

Yes, Morgan was much greater sol.
dier than he is generally considered" :"
said COL Thomas II. Hunt, of New Or
leans, the other evening to represen-
tative of the Picay,,,e, after rambling
confederate generals. ''He was far
more than a raider, and had in him
all the elements that make up a great
leader" ..
''Well, colonel, know you led one OF
the most gallant Kentucky regiments in
the southern army, and are familiar
with the country in which Morgan gain
ed his fame; were you ever with him?"
was the query.
Eyes, sir; it was my good fortune to
be under his command when he made
the attack on Hartsville in 1862. That
has been pronounced by able military
critics the most brilliant achievement
of the war, and was SO impressed with
the military genius Of the man on tina.
: occasion, that l shall never cease to re-
gard him with the highest veneration."
Upon being pressed the colonel went
on: Sin the winter of 1862, while the
confederate army lay in camp at Muir
freesboro. Tenn, Gen. Morgan got ex-
act information of the position of the
enemy across the Cumberland, and de-
termined to strike one of those quick
and decisive blows for which he was ia
nous. Gen. Harlan's division of eight
thousand men was encamped at Cassil-
ian Springs, while force of two thou
sand federals were posted eight miles
below him. The problem was to cross
the Cumberland, whip, and, if possible,
capture this latter force, and escape be-
fore Harlan could come up.
''He asked for two regiments of in
fantry to accompany him, and mine,
the 9Th Kentucky, was chosen as part
of the force. The boys were ragged and
many shoelcss, and after an inspection
selected those who were well shod and
comfortably clad. 1t was bitter cold
and the men must have suffered intense
ly.
''When wefeached the Cumberland
council of war was called, and when
was informed of the position, suggest
ed, of course, that Harlan would come
up as soon as he heard firing and capt
ure our whole command. No. said
Morgan, 'he will not He will get his
troops in line and wait for courier to
inform him of the situation, and l will
take care that the courier shall not reach
him by posting q line of scouts across
the country This was an exhibition
of one of the highest qualities of gener-
alship-knowledge of what the enemy
would do under certain circumstances.
Well, sir, he accomplished his purpose.
With force of 1900 men he marched
fifty miles in a deep snow, crossed tn.
Cumberland twice, captured two thous.
and prisoners and much plunder, and
brought them into camp, all in thirty
hours"
"What did you do with the prisoners,
colonel?"
''They were paroled the next day and
permitted to 60 home. As we were re-
crossing the river at ford below Harts-
vile, Morgan ordered the cavalry to
carry the prisoners over behind them
on horseback as the thermometer was
far below the freezing point. The men
in blue crowded around him and ex-.
claimed: "WelI, if we had caught you
we would have treated you to rope, but
we known now you are not as bad a man
as we thought

Aaron Burr as a ss-Examiner.

A writer thus describes the conclusion
of case in which Burr was one of the
lawyers: The evening session opened
and Burr resumed his cross-examina-
ton Of the witness. 1t was test of the
profound skill and subtlcty of the
lawyer, the self-posscssion, courage and
tact of the witness standing on the very
brink of horrible gulf calmly and in
tepidly resisting the efforts of the ter
rible man to topple him over. At last,
after dexterously leading the witness to
an appropriate point, Burr suddenly
seized q lamp in each hand, and holding
them in such a manner that thcir light
fell instantaneously upon the face of the
witness, he exclaimed in Il startling
voice, like the voice of the avenger Of
blood: "Gentlemen of the jury, behold
the murderer!'
With u wild, couvulsive start, a face
of ashy pallor, eyes starting from their
sockets, lips apart, his whole attitude
evipcing terror, the man sprang from
his chair. For \" moment he stood
motionless, struggling to recover his
self-possession. But it was only q
momentary- struggle; shaking every
nerve with paralyzing fear. Conscious
that the eyes of all in the court room
were fixed upon him reading the hidden
deeds of his life, he left the witness
stand, and walked shrinkingly to the
door of the court room. But he was
prevented from making his escape by
the sheriff. The effect can be better
imagined than described. 1t struck the
spectators with silent awe, changing the
whole aspect of the trial in an instant,
overthrowing the hypothesis of the
Attorney-General, which he was con-
vinced would send the prisoner to the
gallows, saving an innocent man from
the deathful hands Of 4 bold and skill
full perjurer. The false witness was ar
rested, two indictments were found
against him, one for murder, another
for perjury. He was acquitted for
murder, but subsequently convicted for
perjury and sentenced to long term of
imprisonment.

Scripture Revision.

The following is genuine extract
from the composition of q little native
African girl, Is years old, q wild savage
only a few years ago, now 4 pupil in
the orphan school at Cape Palmast.
Do You know what is history? His
tory, as you know, teaches us what is
happen in the past event, and geogra-
ply shows US where the garden of Eden
is, which continent and which division,
history tells US that Adam was the first
man who was created, and while he
was sleeping God took out one of his
ribs and made Eve. After awhile Eve
went to walk among the trees of the
| garden; conversation took place be-
tween her and the devil. The devil
| told her to eat some kind of fruit which
| God had told her and Adam not to eat.
| She took it and ate it. Also she took
some for Adam, her husband. When
Adam saw it he did not take no time to
ask Eve where did she get it from.
History, geography and the earth
just do 90 together, one tells us about
that. and one about this and so forth.
Histories are interesting to read indeed
they are.
1t tells something about the whale.
The whale is the largest animal in the
sea- The whale is spoken of in the
bible.
When God sent Jonah to Ninevah to
preach to the people about their sins
Jonah refused to 60. He went into q
ship with some people. He just went
in there to hide from God but God caused
great storm to take place. The ship
went from this way to that way. The
people was afraid indeed and they be-
gan to cast lots and the lots fell upon
him.
They took him up and threw him in
to the sea. While he was going to the
bottom of the sea he met with this ami
NAL, so the whale said: ''My friend,
where are you going?' Jonah answer
ed and said II have disobeyed my
God and l am trying to hide from his
face" The Whale: ''Well, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself. Don't you
know that neither You nor can hide
from Gods face"
Jonah: "Oh, Whale, am afraid I
don't know what Pm doing or saying"
The whale said: Jonah, o Jonah,
harkeu unto me and take heed unto thy
self for in l will swallow you soon."
"Have mercy on me, 0 whale, and if
its Gods will he will carry me safely
to the land so may obey Him."
The Whale "Jonah, put your head
In my mouth and get ready for your
life.'' -...
"Jonah: ''Whale, think you had
better swallow me because l see there
is no use in talking"
The Whale: Jonah, the idea of
your running away from God! You
will have to bear the consequence, that
is all have got to say"
At the same time the whale swallowed
him up. Jonah thought the whales
belly was his grave and end. He did
not think he would get to the show any
more, therefore he offer q prayer to God
for his sins and if he should die before
he should get to the show, if it was
Gods will carry his soul to heaven. ~
The whale did not rest day after day,
night after night, SO after three days
the whale went to the show and yom-
tied Jonah up. Jonah was just like
drowned rat. s....s..

Yankee Methods in France.

Sara Bernhardt's French advertising
agent can give odds to the one she had
in this country. A Paris illustrated pa
per was recently publicly forbidden to
publish the copy of Il photograph which
Sara had taken of herself in coffin
The paper was threatened with the law
and with contiscation, if it had offended.
But as it had never so much as thought
of such a thing it quickly understood
that it was an advertisement for the
actress. She went so far rs to have the
police at the newspaper office. 1t is
not known whether the newspaper paid
half the expense, for it got half the
benefit Of the advertisement. Other
newspapers are anxious for similar fav-
OrS from her.

"Qld Wildey.

viz V1luUys
You must know that Old Wildey was
a wild duck that, four years ago, came
one fine day in December to the mill
pond, among the other ducks, and swan
with them until they got almost to the
place where Grandfather fed them;
then it was afraid to come any nearer
and would fly away again, and thus it
happened that every night when he
called the tame ducks to the shore to
feed them. Old Wildey came a little
nearer and little nearer. till one night
she came to the grassy bank and looked
at the other ducks eating up the grains
of Indian corn that Grandfather fed to
them.
''But, as she was wild duck, and
did not know that Indian corn was fit
to eat, she just stood looking at them
eating it. Well, one night she walked
up among the other ducks, and turned
her head to one side, and looked at the
grains of corn with one eye; then she
turned her head to the other side and
looked at the grains of corn with the
other eye; then she took single grain
up in her bill, and held it moment and
then swallowed it; then she carefully
picked up two or three more grains, and
ate them and flew away. This delight
ed us grandchildren very much. The
next night she seemed to have found
that corn was as good for wild ducks as
rs it was for tame ones; SO she walked
up among the other ducks, and when
Grandfather threw them down the corn
she ate it up as fast as ever she could.
In the course of few weeks, when
Grandfather called the ducks she would
fly out of the water, and would be the
first one that would come to be fed,
and before spring came she would eat
out of his hand. So it went on till the
early part of May, when the leaves
were out and the meadows were dotted
over with golden dandeiion, and blue in
spots with tufts of violet. Then we all
noticed that Old Wildey would OCCASION
ally leave the other flock and fly away
out of sight, and after awhile return
again, until one day, about the middle
Of May, she disappeared and we saw
her no more. However, about the first
of November, flock of seven wild
ducks were seen on the lake, and when
the tame ducks came home to be fed,
one of the wild ducks left the flock and
came Ap and ate corn with them. It
was Old Wildey! An so it has been
every year since. About the middle of
May, when the ice begins to break up
in the Northern lakes, Old Wildey leaves
her winter home to 90 north; and every
autumn, about the first of November,
she returns to her old home in Pennsyl-
vania. Each year, Grandfather and
Grandmother and the aunts and grand
children, wonder if Old Wildey will come
back. This time. when aunt Hannah
came in and told Grandfather that Old
Wildey had come back. he put aside his
newspaper and went to the feed-room
for some corn and called out, ''Come
along home, my duckie,' when Wildey
just flew out of the water and came up
to him and ate the corn out of his hand.
Although she had been away for six
months, she had not forgotten the voice
that called her, or the hand that had
fed her during the winter.-H E. S. N
st. Nicholas for February.

Central America Antiuuitie.

According to M. Charnay, the statues
and inscriptions brought over are inval-
liable, especially from his point of view,
as they establish his contention in res
gard to the Toltec origin of early Amer
lean civilization and the comparative
modernness of the Toltec work. He
has found nothing over seven centuries
old, and he thinks that the fact of his
having found anything at all is conclu-
siye on the question Of age. Most OF
the ruins are in excellent preservation,
and if they were much earlier in origin
this would certainly not be the ease.
The climate and the soil and the man
ner of building are not calculated to
preserve them. Paris Cor. Of NeaO York

More farm machinery is injured by
needless exposure to weather than by
use. A machine that will last ten years
with careful housing will be ruined in
three seasons if left out during the win
ter season. A coat of paint, first we'll
oiling wood work, will greatly add to
the durability of farm implements.
Every farmer should procure some
paint and learn to use the brush during
leisure hours. This is especially inn
portanti in the case Of wagons which
need repainting, at least so far as the
wheels are concerned, every spring.
The paint from wheels is rapidly worn
off by ice, snow and mud in winter.

APOLOGETIC

The publishers of The Daily Enter
prise have waited long and impatiently
Tor the arrival from St. Paul of ma
terlals necessary for the publication of
their paper. The presses and a portion
OF the type was received some days
since, but consignment of equally
necessary articles has been delayed
beyond all expectation or explanation.
Rather than remain longer in idleness,
we have concluded to place before YOU
this apology for newspaper. We may
be forced to issue similar sheet to-
morrow, but not later than Wednesday
will place before the public The Daily
Enterprise in regular form. Until then
we ask the sorbearance of our patrons,
as they may readily understand that
the enforced delay is a greater source
OF annoyance and damage to the pub
fishers than to any other person or
persons.
