General Paragraphs.

Duluth, John Proctor Knott's. Du-
luth, which the entire country laughed
at fifteen years ago, now holds up its
head as the third grain-receiving point
in the United States, ranking st. Lou
is, Milwaukee and Toledo.
Drexel, Morgan g. Co., deny that the
Northern Pacific owe them any money.
On the contrary, the company has on
deposit nearly $1,000, 900, of which
$950,0O0 is held on account of future
interest, rentals etc., and $347 1000 on
general account.
Chicago Tribune: Russia has con-
tracted with Bridgeport Conn., firm
for 100,000,O00 metallic cartridges, and
England has ordered 50, 900 900 from the
same factory. We care not who makes
peoples songs SO that we make their
ammunition.
Among the ships lying in "rotten
row" at the New York Navy Yard
is the dismantled frigate Colorado.
When she was built she was considered
the finest piece of naval architecture
and the most formidable man of-war
ahoat. She was sent out to the China
station with picked crew and O set
OF officers selected for their wealth and
good breeding. She was the pride Of
the American squadron in the seas and
filled the fleets of other nations there
with admiration and envy. From Co.
rea to Singapore she was known as
'labelle frigate.' % But that was years
ago. Now her glory is departed, she is
a ruined hulk, and the Government
can't even sell her for old timber.
Trees have been found in Africa
which were computed to be 5, $50 years
old, and cypress in Mexico is said to
have reached a still greater age. The
oldest indiv idual specimen of any soe-
cies-in fact, the Oldest living thing
upon the globes probal y the cypress
OF Santa Maria del Tule. in the Mexican
State of Oaxaca. If estimates of tree
ages are to be relied upon, the. life of
this venerable forest monarch may
have SPAWNED the whole period Of writ
ten history. At last accounts it was
still growing, and in 1851, when Hum
bolt saw it, it measured AZ feet in di-
ameter, 146 in circumference, and 1872
feet between the extremities of two
opposite branches.

Personal Paragraphs

There are twenty persons whose gifts
to colleges aggregate over, s23, 000, 900.
Three of these rich, men Stephen
Glrard, John Hopkins and Asa Packer
gave over $14 ,O00, 900.
D. G. Marshall, to satisfy his own
curiosity, went through aBates' History

Of the Smiths that we're in the civil war
from that state. Theresult shows over
5000 (of whom 19S;were field, staff and
commissioned offcers), or enough for
five full regiments. officers and all.
The college graduate is apt to COM
plain to sympathizing friends because
he finds it so hardito "get into journal
ISM" But every managing edi>>r in
the country will tell you that it isn't
the thousandth part SO hard for the col
lege graduate to. get into journalism as
it often is to. get the first principles of
journalism into the college graduate.
Rev. DR.. E., L. Magoon, pastor of the
North Broad street Baptist church, of
Philadelphia has rendered his resigna-
ton, to take effect one year from date,
with the understanding that lie serve
during the interval without salary. He
is in his 18th year, and has been pastor
OF his present charge quarter of a cen
fury.
CHARLES Lamb always held Byron
lightly, and in letter recently publish
ed for the first time he is particularly Sc.
we're. "A line of Wordsworth is lever
to- Lift the immortal soul" he says, but
Byron's can only move the spleen. He
was at best a satirist; in any other way
he was mean enough. I dare say I do
him injustice, but I can not love him nor
squeeze tear to his memory.
Mrs. Sallie Ward Lawrence Hunt
Armstrong, who has been known for
forty years as the most beautiful woman
in the south, was married for the fourth
time recently at Gait House, Louisville,
Ky. The groom was Mr.. G.. F. Downs,
wealthy gentleman of high social
position, who is seventy-fve years OF
age. Though the court ship has lasted
six years, the wedding is surprise, and
will cause great social sensation. The
bride is fifty eight years old, but does
not look over forty-fve.
The King Of the Belgians, who has
spent nearly $500, 900 ofhis private for
tune IN the exploration and develop,
ment of Africa, is said to have remarked
lately, II am a very small man among
kings, but I do not see why I should
not be great man among geographers
and cizilizers." He has fairly won
great name for himself, and the State
he is planning will be monument te
his royal generosity. From the selfisf
and greedy scramblers after territory il
is indeed refreshing to turn to monarch
who seeks nothing for himself or fol-
his country, but who has done more
than all the European governments
combined to open the gates of Central
Africa, to curb the slave dealer and the
liquor seller and to lay in righteousness:
the foundations Of mighty African
empire.

time since party of English soldiers

of them, named Maxey, suddenly grew

"Hush!" responded Maxey, turning
deadly pale.

about ostart up.
IF you value my life, sit quiet!" said
Maxey, in thrilling whisper.
We exchanged looks. He continued
"Remain quiet. I have cobra ca
pella round my leg"
Our first impulse was to rush away
but poer Maxey lmplored us not to do
so. His countenance assumed ivid
hue; the words seemed to leave his
mouth without that feature altering its
position, so fearful was he lest the
slightest muscular movement should
alarm the serpent and hasten it's fatal
bite.
We were in agony little less than his
own during the scene.
HE is coiling rouDdw murmured
Maxey, II feel him tighten. For
mercy's sake, call for some milk! Let it
be placed on the ground near me; let
some be split on the floor"
Churchill cautiously gave the order,
and servant slipped out of the room.
Don't stir, boys" This can't last
long. My fate will soon be decided -
whispered Maxey. II have wife and
children in England; let them know
died blessing them
The milk was brought and carefully
put down; few drops were sprinkled
on the floor, and the affrighted servants
drew back. Again Maxey spoke:
"No, no, it has no effect! He is clasp.
ing tighter; he has uncoiled his upper
fold. dare not look down, but am
sure he is about to draw back and give
the bite. 0 Lord, pardon me! He has
undone another fold and loosens him
self. Can he be going to some one else ?"
We involuntarily started.
For the love of heaven. don't stir,
or I'm dead man! He still loosens,
and seems to be falling off,"
At that moment Door Maxey ventured
to look down. The snake had unwound
himself and was making for the milk.
Il am saved! sayed!" cried Maxey,
leaping from his chair and falling sense
less into the arms of one Of his servants
In another instant the snake was killed,
and our poor friend, more dead than
alive, carried to his room He never re-
covered from the shock. Brave and
fearless on the field of battle, he was
frightened into an early grave by a
serpent.

Mankato, Mimi, on the 18th. He ar
rived on the Milwaukee and st. Paul
Road from the East at 10 o'clock and
taking his satchel in hand he said he
would walk to the Omaha Depot, half
mile distant. He was passing
through Mankato on business trip, as
he has large business interests in the
Northwest. On arriving at the Omaha
Depot he entered the waiting room, set
his satchel down and stepping over to
the wlndo~ looked out People in the
depot noticed that he looked pale and
bresthed fast, as though he had walked
rapidly, but otherwise he appeared in
excellent health. After gazing out of
the window a short time he returned to
his seat and sat down, crossing his legs.
In moment the agent and what few
passengers were in the depot were star
tied and alarmed to see him fall sud

assisted by passengers, dir everything
they could for the unfortunate man,

South and North.

An impression prevails, and the idea
is frequently expressed with confidence,
chat the internal revenue taxation is
more burdensome and it is felt more
grievously in the Southern States than
in the North. With view of ascer-
tanning what the fact really is, we have
examined the records of the Internal
Revenue Department, and find that
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1888, the tobacco manufactured, cigars
made, and spirits produced in these
two great sections Of the country,
emitting unimportant quantities were
as follows:
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1885-01-16
CIGARS AND CIGARETTES.
SPIRITS.
Total Product, 74,ols,aos Gallons.

These figures show that, while in
manufactures of tobacco other than ci-
gars and cigarettes, the former slave
States exceed the former free States by
about 80 per cent, the production of
cigars and cigarettes in the North is
about 700 per cent. greater than IN the
South, and of spirits about 2S0 per
cent. greater.
1. is evident, therefore, that, while
the taxes on these two great products
may bear more oppressively upon the
Southern States, by reason ct their in
ferior ability to pay them, yet in actual
amount the contributions to the revenue
from these sources are very much
greater in the North than they are in
the South.
But the reason for abolishing these
taxes is national, not sectional, and
they ought to be wiped out, without
regard to the question whether they
are more inconvenient. of payment in
one part of the country than in anoth-
