That Thorn.

If the BOurbOns lay the fiattering
JUNCTION to their souls that Parsou
Massey accepted the second place
on the ticket simply with the hope
Of presiding over the Senate they
will be very much mistaken. Mr.,
Massey is looking to the United
States Senate, and hopes to be able
to defeat both Barbour and Daniel.
He recognizes that it will be a
close contest, and if the BOurbons
should carry the Legislature by a
small majority it is his calculation
to have enough personal friends of
tue old Read usters to hold the
balauce of power. In that event
he will compel his own nomination
by the Bourbon caucus. lie has
sense enough TO know that he was
nominated for Lieutenant Cover.
nor, not from any love or respect
for him personally, but for fear that
he would kick in the traces, and

that would be by no means pleas

vigorous canvass himself, get rs

ture as possible, and should the
BOurbOns have a majority to have
both his revenge and satisfaction
out of the situation, in the defeat
of both Barbour and Daniel tor the
Senate, and the election of himself.
That is the way it looks now, and
that is the condition that BourbOns
of the Barbour and Daniel stripe
will have to consider. Massey will
certainly be a thorn in the side OF
the BOurbOns.

Twenty years ago a prominent
citizen OF Raleigh purchased an old
desk. He after a while ceased to
use it, and a few days ago broke it
up. TO his surprise he discover
ed a secret drawer. Out ofthis fell
piles of money. Some of the bills
were moth.eaten and dingy, while
others were fresh and clear. There
were thousands of dollars of the cur.
rency. 1t was in many cases issu-
ed under the authority of Congress,
in session at Halifax, N. G. The
denominations of the bills were
from 81 to $50. In some the value
was expressed in pounds, shillings
and pence. 1t was all what was
known as continental currency
and must have been placed in the
secret repository during orjust af.
ter the revolutionary war. A re-
porter was shown quantities of the
money. Raleigh On. c., News.

JUMBO DEAD.

ST. THOMAS. ONT., September 16 -
Ahout 9 o'clock Last night as Barnum's
$500, 900 elephant Jumbo and the little
trick elephant Tom Tuumh were being
led along the track by the keeper, on
the way from the show grounds to the
car to be loaded, an incoming freight
train came uoon them unexpectedly and
caught and killed Jumbo and broke one
OF Tom Thumbs legs. There was o
siie track ON the north OF the @sin track
which contained all OF Barnums empty
cars, and on either side there Was an
emhankment eight feet high.
When the keeper saw the train coming
he tried to get Jumbo down the south
hank. hut Jumbo seeing no danger, re-
fused H. then tried TO get him between
the si lie track and NAN line, but only
partially succeeded, the locomotive
striking Jumbo just as bis f,releg had
lef, the track, striking bin in the right
siie and providing him against the Car
on, the siding.
The great beast was carried with the
engine about one hundred yards. He
was so tightly wedged that when be
could be carried no further his body
crowded the locomotive to the south
side, throwing it off ,he track. HI
lived but tti-ty minutes.

since they lie on The road to nowhere in

OF the arcl % 'logist they are interesting
in the extreme. Certain Dutch naviga.
tors, who visited them nearly genera
ton ago, returned to Europe with won-
derful stories concerning the gigantic
ruins that had been discovered on some
OF the smaller islets at the eastern end
Of the archipelago; but it was not until
1883 that anything approaching to
systematic survey OF the group vas un-
,iertaken In that year the British ship
E,piegle touched at many of the islands; |;
and those ,lficers who went ashore
found that the magrificence OF the re
mains had not been exaggerated.
The most impt sing ruins are at Me-
talanim Harbor, in Ponape. and at Cha.
brol Harbor, in Kusaie; and an idea OF
their grandeur may be formed from the
fact that some of the ston' s OF the bull
dings measure as much as thrtv.five fee,
long by twenty feet broad and fifteen
feet thick. They are ornamented With
rude sculptures. which bear family re-
semhlance to the we'll known sculptures
