Yesterday at 10 a. M, a. j. Stenson, a
railroad brakeman, boarded the

He hsd the conductor to examine

remarking that he thought he would
have q fever that day and that he was
going to lie down and have some
sleep. No particular attention was
paid to him, only it was remarked by
the trainmen and passengers that he
snored rather loudly and was an eX-
traordinary sound sleeper. The con-
ductor tried to awaken him, but not
succee ding, passed on about his du-
ties. AT Jacksonville, "a miles east of

and being attracted by Stenson's

closely and found the pupils of his

Blue Eyes Going Out Of Fashion.

As O rule, the first thing lady does
when she meets stranger is to notice
what the color of his or her eyes may
be. This is somewhat eccentric on the
part of the ladies, but it IS fact, new
ertheless.. Now there comes the state
phonse de Candolle, to the fact that
blue eyes are becoming rarer as time
rolls on. He has for long time been
studying heredity i'll the color of the
eyes in the human species.
1t occurred to him, he says, in inves-
tigating, that the color of the iris of
fered the best outward visible sign. Ii
is conspicuous. 1t can not be made by
artifce. After early childhood it does
not vary with age, as does the color of
the ball and the character is, on the
whole, distinct. For, according 10
him there are only two sorts-black Cor
rather brown eyes and blue-gray eyes
being recognized as mere varieties of
the blue.
From the working up of the Stats
tics, in part from the series of observa-
tions made for the purpose, it appears
that, when both parents have eyes of
the same color, 1874 per cent. of the
ChhuIcu lOlOW tHolr PARENTS III bnlB
feature, and of the 1l.6 per cent. of
children born with eyes other than the
parental color, part must be attributed
to avatism, that is, to intermittent
heredity. But the curious fact comes
out that more females than males have
black or brown eyes, in proportion,
say, of 40 to 40, or Al to 80. Next, it
appears that, with different colored
eyes in the two parents, $50 per cent.
Of the progeny follow the fathers in
being dark-eyed, and 1851 per cent.
follow their mothers in being dark
eyed. An increase of per cent. of
dark-eyed in each generation of discol-
orous unions must tell heavily in the
course of time. 1t would seem that,
unless specially bred by non. colorous
marriages, blue-eyed bellies will be
scarce in the millennium. Thus the fate
of the "blue-eyed beauty" may be cal
culated by any OF the possessors of
that slowly vanishing variety. -Hart-
ford Post.

Butler, Of South Carolina, and Edmunds.

One day last year in the executive
session the sour-minded Edmunds took
occasion to make bitter and CALLING
attack upon q certain South Carolina
official for his conduct in court in try
ing one Of the election cases brought
by the Department of Justice. Ed
munds was so savage in his denuncia-
ton of the man that Butler felt called
upon to demonstrate. Edmunds would
accept no explanation. Butler plainly
limited that the official was under the
influence of LIQUOR, and therefore not
responsible. Edmunds refused to lis
ten to Butler in the debate. A moment
after the subject was changed. Ed
munds left the seat and began walking
up and down behind the desks. But
Ter got up and walked up to the Yer
mont Senator. He said: "Edmunds,
I can say to you here what did not
care to say to you in the debate. That
man was drunk, and you are the last
man in this world to criticise another
for anything done by him under the in
fuence of liquor" Edmunds looked at
him moment and then said in his
mildest manner: "Why didn't you tell
me this before?" He took great pains
after that to avoid any further criticism
of the South Carolina official--Er.

to evacuate the left bank of the Kooshk,
which they were occupying contrary to
agreement. This they refused to do, upon
the advice, as they averred, of the English
officers. Gen. Komaroff then moved toward
them, hoping that they would retire, but
instead of that they opened fire ON him
and compelled him 10 accept combat, the
result of which is known. 1t is sufficient
to say that the Afghans went back in hurry.
If this statement is correct the Russians
were clearly in the right and were justified
in driving the Afghans back; and it is on
the correctness of this statement that the
war question now hangs. The reports
thus far received from the English
and Russian officers are conflict
ing. In order TO get at the facts
from an official source the English Gov
eminent has autographed Gen. Komaroffs
statement to Sir Peter Lumsden, with in
structions to make his report as early as
possible and TO inform the Government as
TO the correctness of the Russian Generals
statement. Pending the receipt of an
answer, of course, no action will be taken.

RUSSO-BRITIsH WAR QUESTION.

The statement of Mr.. Gladstone in the
House of Commons shows that the ques-

hangs upon the accuracy of Gen. Koma-

with the Afghans. That the rea der may have
clear understanding of the point at issue
it is necessary TO refer to the Russian state
ment In his dispatch TO the Govern
ment Gen. Komarof states that the 25th OF
March as he approached Dashkapri he
came upon an Afghan intrenchment, and

miles away from their position. The next

There is no abatement in the excitement here
The war feeling runs high as ever, and any news

are both playing waiting game. neither wish

The War Office Is overwhelmed with offers
of service sent in by army, militia, and volun-

and the provinces are daily besieged by men
anxious to enter the military service in
view OF the prospect of war with Russia. Suita--

can be arranged. All the Admirals OF the Brit

why Hoosier Owls Have Stump Toes.

Representative Cabbage will be re.
membered in Indiana annals for all
time to come for his owl bill-a brave,
but Intellectual effort to protect the
barnyard bird from the savage bird of
night. Years ago Uncle Jimmy Fra
zier, of Pike Township, this county,
was, like Representative Cabbage, the
unrelenting foe of the owl. He both
cred not with statutory amendments.
He pondered, and, as he pondered, his
chickens diminished and the owls in
creased. One day happy thought
came to him. He took down his scythe.
and all one long summer afternoon
played symphony upon il with an
lold-fashioned blue milestone. When
he finished, it was of razor-edge keen
ness. Placing ladder against the
chicken-house, he nailed the scythe
high aloft, its keen edge skyward--a
most inviting resting-place. The old
gentleman had calculated rightly. and
half q hatful of owls toes were found
next morning under the scythe. This
continued for several days, fresh crop
rewarding the early riser each morning.
After while, some owl, wiser than the
rest, must have discovered the practi-
cal joke. At any rate their visits ceased.
though to this day all the elderly Pike
Township owls are distinguished bv
