Bonnie Tells His Best Girl How He
and 1.-TWO COIlidge Chaps Performed
the Job.
Ed and Tom are two years along in col
Iege, says the Boston GLOBE. When COM
mencement week was over they felt ''all
tagged out, you know" and went into the
country for vacation and rest. They tar
ried at the house of farmer who had a
son, Bennie, of about their age. At the
end of a week, in which they got ducked,
scratched and stung after approved meth
DDS, they found themselves rested enough
to go home, and went accordingly. The
night after their departure Bonnie went
over to see his girl, and told her about
''them coolidge chaps as was staying at
our house,"
''They be mighty strange acting boys,''
said he, ''and yit they baint no fools,
neither. That day, we went out abiding
woodchucks, the puny one, the fellow
tother one called Ed, acted for all the
world like a horned Iiiut for's much as
five minutes, but he's got grit in him for
all that.
''You see it was like this" resumed
Bonnie, sit was real late afore we went
out, and when we come to the clover
patch the woOdchucks were in their holes
bin to breakfast and turned in, you
know-so l see, SEE l, Its mighty warm
diggin', boys, and it won't do to go home
skunked, and let's drownd 'em
OUT They didn't know how
twas worked at fust, but told 'em, and
we begun to lug water from the brook in
pals and pour it into a hole where
knowed there was big black one lived.
We kept at it and lugged an poured am
poured an lugged, until it seemed IS if
we'd toted a whole well full am still the
chuckker didn't come up to blow. Then
we got some more pals and went at it
agin, and jist as we was pouring a triple
Scotch mist, when every drop was
bucketful, in on that hole, out comes Mr..
Woodchuck, a-drippin' and a-winkin' and
a-blowin'.
''See, he bobs up serenely,' said Tom,
standing there and letting the beast run
away without oferin' to kill it,. / waited
till seed they warn't going to do any,
thing, and then / took my club and made
for him. Do you believe me, just as soon
as / did that, little Ed stepped in front of
me with his fist doubled up, and SEE:
"'If you hit that woodchuck I'll bit
you.'n
"He was little fellow, am l could have
ct him; but didn't want no row, and SO
the woodchuck got away. When / come
back to where they was standing asked
them how they was going to have emmy
fun acting like that. Then the little one
come up and put his arms around me just
like this reaching out and clasping his
best girl to illustrate how it was done },
an SEE to me, SEE he: You seen, Bonnie,
l was broughtup in the Baptist faith, and
when l saw that poor animal coming up
ont of the water, looking so meek and
pitiful, couldn't let you kill him. You'd
had to kill me first.'"

little hopes are entertained of his re-

HERR Pilot, the husband of Mmc. Janau-

the German war navy. He was married to
Janauschek in 1852 and came with her to
America in 1878, when she read in German at
the old Stadt Theatre, afterwards the Wind
sor. He had visited this country with her on
her frequent professional tours, and only a
year ago was taken very i'll and thought to be
dying. He was man of scholarly attain

eight languages. He was a high liver, and
was very fond of wine. He was a sufferer
from hereditary rheumatism.

and hustled and a kind of engaging look
about the face, he looked like the well-fed
Beecher of to-day. He wore a straw hat
with black band and his old black swallow
tail suit. Scattering cheers were raised for
him. The stairways were crowded, and wO

Confederate and Federal Memorials
Ofthe Civil War.

Confederate and Federal Memorials
of the Civil War.
A committee of three gentlemen, rep
resentatives of the Army Of Northern
Virginia and Of the Army of the Tennes-
see, have been appointed by the manage
ment OF the Southern Exposition at Louis
Vile. XIV, which opens on August 16 and
closes on October 25, to collect specimens
of all articles of manufacture, either for
war or domestic purposes, arms, uni
forms, flags, books, newspapers-in fact,
everything used or produced by the South
during the war, together with portraits or
photographs of distinguished citizens,
and manuscripts or papers that will rep
resent the genius and herOism which has
given birth to the energy Of the New
South Of to-day.
The Southern Exposition is to be con-
Quoted on a much grander scale than
it was last year, and it is proposed to
make these Southern relics of the war a
feature OF it. There is a great deal scat
tered about the South, which, if collected,
would tell the story of the trials, triumphs,
sufTerings and patriotism of the war period
more elOquently than it has ever been told
with the pen. The committee which has
charge of this matter appeals to all per-
sons who have such articles, whether they
reside in the North or the South, and are
willing to loan them, to communicate with
the committee. There is a similar COM
mittee on Federal memorials, which will
endeavor to make collection similar to
that of the committee on Confederate me-
MORALS. The two collections can hardly
fail to attract great attention.

v The convention does not work rapidly.
The outlook for an early adjournment is
not promising. Five candidates-Bay-
ard. Mcdonald. Thurman, Carlisle and
CIeveIand-were put in nomination yes
terday, and it is probable that others
viii be named to-day or later in the
week. There will hardly be any
balloting to-day. No ballot is to be taken
until the Committee on Resolutions makes
a report. When that committee viii re-
port is very uncertain. A subcommittee
Of eight 10 frame a tariff resolution was
appointed OILY last night. 1t is certain
never TO agree. Butler, Burke, Davis and
Converse are protectionists, and OF the
other four Morrison and Watterson, and
perhaps Morton. are for tarif-for-rev-
enue-only. Hewitt is a tariff reformer,
but he is not in full harmony
with either the prOtectionists or the
revenue tariff members. It is not I'M
probable, therefore, that the suD-com-
mittee will present to the full committee
three tariff resolutions. The revenue
tariff men claim to have two
majority i'm full committee on
the tariff issue. If they have
the report to the convention viii be in IA
vor Of a tariff FOR revenue without any in
cidentaI protection nonsense. But whether
they have or not there is pretty certain to
be a minority report, and it is not improb-
able that there will be three reports and
that the convention will have to under
take the job Of framing a tariff plank.
II the convention becomes engaged IN a
tariff discussion there is no telling when
balloting will begin. The Tamma-
nyites still keep up their fight
on Cleveland. Evidently they think that
delay is damaging to him. The West and
South are by no means satisfied that he
can carry New YORK, but enough
delegates from those sections may
be secured for him by the
arguments of his New York hackers
to give him the nomination. He certainly
leads all the other candidates at present,
but it isn't safe to predict that he will be
nominated.

electors, the Democratic party has nominated
one SimOn-pure eXpedlent, two military
chieftains and one politician Ofthe first order,
and the politician was the only candidate it
elected. From this fact we may justly appeal
to the common sense of our representatives

always greater than the probabilities of salts
