account of his disbursement, of the
secret service fund. This fund, he cX-
planned, could not be expended by di-
rcct'on II the president, and he asserted

anywhere, or by anybody, which i'm
putcd p"rycrsi"nS, misapplicatlon or
waste oi the public funds, Us committed
or made by HIM while secretary of state,
were utterly groundlcsS and false. Who
ever charged him with having either
mi>applird the public fund while in the
state department, had either seen the pa
pcrS or had, in some other way, obtained
knowledge upon the subject, or he had
not. Ii he had seen no papers, or had

purely wanton and SiandcrouS. If had

then he would state what he kncw-if
he knew anything which would sustain

Silence, under such circumstances, was
conclusive that he knew nothing. be

An Indian Love story,


The Indian, true To his traditions. is
full OF romance. Wien Miss Alice l..
B0niEc, one of the clcvcrcSt teachers at
the Lincoln Institute Indian school at
WAYNE, Pa, WAS returning from Rose
bud agency in Dakota, after selecting Il
lot of Indian girls, she stopped with the
party IL Il house on the plains waiting
for girl who WAS to br brought to her
at that point. There also happened to
he waiting there from another territory,
on his way east, Edwin Ashley, the
young son of an Indian chief, who was
going TO the Indian school at Hampton,
to he educated. The moment he laid
eyes on her Edwin fell desperately in
love with Hattie Choncula, one of the
biggest girls i'll the party, and 10y strange
unanimity she fell desperately i'll love
with him. They We're very much to
gcther all the way coming east, SO much
SO that Miss Bonine had to interfere.
When they separated it was with evi-
dcnce of distress on the part of both,
and they have corrcSponded regularly
ever since. AS neither of them has pro
greSsed very far i'll the mastery of written
English, they have recourse to modiii-
cation of the traditional picturc-wrtng
of their savage ancestors. Since her ar
rival, Hattie has been strangely afflicted
with loyeSickness. Ii appears that with
an Indian this is Il malady of more CON
sequence than usual. Anyhow, one
night Hattie having meantime refused
to eat or study, declared that she must
die, and, carrying Il brcad-knife with her
from the table, declared her intention to
cut her throat. This was going too far,
and discipline had to be rcsto ed to. She
was given good shaking and told if she
talked OF suicide again she would bc
thrashed. This appears to have had
the desired effect, and she cllmed down,
but says she will not be happy until she
has Edwin, her brave Hattie is
about /, years old and Edwin few
years her senior.

Printers Circular.

Far away beyond the plains of Meso-
potamia, on the banks of the river Tigris,
lie the ruins of the ancient city of Min
cveh. Not long since huge mounds of
earth and stone marked the place where
the palaces and walls of the proud capi-
tai Of the great ASSyrian empire stood.
The spade. first Of the Frcnchman, then
of the Englishman, has cleared all the
earth away and laid bare all that re-
mains of the old streets and palaces
where the princes of Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshiped and the
books they read have all been revealed 10
the sight of wondering world.
The most curious of all the curious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Ninevch. The
chief library of Nineveh was contained
in the palace of Konyunjik. The clay
books which it contains are composed OF
sets of tablets covered with very small
writing. The tablets are oblong in
shape, and when several of them are
used for one book, the first line of the
tablet following was written at the end
of the one preceding it. The writing on
tiiS NuS, VI COulSt, toilt W iifI
the clay was soft, and then it WAS baked
TO harden it. Then each tablet, or book,
was numbered, and assigned to place
in the library, with corresponding
number, SO that tho librarian could
easily find it, just as our own librarians
of to-day number the books we read.
Among these books are to be found
collections of hymns Ito the gods), de-
scriptions of animals and birds, stones
and vegetables, as well as history,
travels, etc. The Assyrians and Bah
ylonians were great students of as
tronomy. The method of telling time
by the sun, and of marking it by an in
Strumcnt called the sun-dial was III
vented by the latter nation. None of
our modern clocks and watches can be
compared to the sun-dial for accuracy.
Indeed, we have to regulate our modern
inventions by the ancient Babylonian
system.
