TWO BUTTONS LEFT.

A wedding coat made by Andrew
johnson will be shown in the Tennes-
see exhibit at the New Orleans Exhib-
iiion. The coat was inade in Johnson's
little tailor shop in GreenviIle, Tenn,
in 1888 or 1889, for Mr.. A. L. Price OF
that town. The garment Is made of
the best navy blue cloth, cut i'll the old
fashioned .'claw- w-hammer" style. The
collar and IapeIs are very broad, and
there are five large buttonholes OIL each
side. when the coat was made there
were twelve large brass buttons, five
on each side and two behind, beside
the small ones on the cuffs OF the
sleeves. All the buttons are now miss-
ing except two on the right breast.
With the exception OF the loss of the
buttons, the coat is in good state of
preservation. None of the seams ever
ripped and there is not hole worn in
the cloth.

LICENSE LAW IN IOWA.

The Davenport Democrat, with u
view of ascertaining the effect OF the
prohibition law in Iowa, cent circulars
10 the mayor of each city in the state
asking if the law was being observed
In regard to the selling Of liquor, the
number of saloons, comparison OF
drunkenness and arrests with the period
when licenses we're granted, and num-
erous other questions relating to the
matter. The answers were published
tonight, and eighteen of the larges,
cities show an increase In the number
Of saloons and great loss in revenue
No successful attempts are reported to
enforce the law and the general opinion
prevails that it should be repealed. In
Davenport it is shown that where there
were l30 saloons under license sys-
tenn there are now l40.

DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY.

From the n. Y. Chronicle-Advertiser.l
We enjoy political blessings of which
we are scarcely conscious, and the
source of which we too easily forget.
Among us a speedy trial is secured to
every man by the constitution. A
hundred years ago, no such safe-guard
existed except in this country and
England. Men languished in French,
Italian and Spanish prisons, and did
not even know why they were in pris-
on. A piece Of news from Africa
should help us to "think OF our mer-
cies." The Sultan OF Morocco has
issued an order that lists De made OF
all the persons in his dominions who are
confined in prisons, with a statement
OF the reasons for their confinement,
and the length of time that they have
been imprisoned, in order that those
unjustly confined may be released. II
Is said that many persons are in Moor.
ish prisons who never had a trial OF
any sort, and that some of them have
been deprived of their liberty since the
reign OF the grandfather Of the present
Sultan.

THE MARRIAGE OF BEATRICE
From the Pail Mall Gazette. !

The last of the Queeli's family is GO
lug to b., married next year, aid every
one wishes Princess Beatrice and her
accepted suitor all the joys that spring
from a happy marriage. There is
pathetic element in the spectacle of the
last fedgling leaving the almost de-
serted nest, and the Queen, it is said,
feels il so much that she siipulates as q
condition Of the marriage that her new
SON. in law must reside III close prox-
nifty t, her Majesty. This arrange
ment seems TO the Daily Telegraph to
constitute the acme Of human felicity,
another illustration, we suppose, OF
how far royal persOnages differ from
other mortals. Outside the charmed
circle q stipulation that man must
live with his mOther-in-law is hardly
deemed a matter for enthusiastic con-
graduation on the part of his friends.
BY this marriage Princess Beatrice be-
comes sister-in.law of the Prince of
Bulgaria, and what is more curious.
sisier-in- law to her own niece. Princess
Alice's daughter married the elder
brother of Princess Beatrice future
husband. The brothers Battenberg
have married the daughter and the
granddaughter of the Queen of Eng
land, aud, oddly enough, the grand
daughter fell TO the lot of the elder
brother. 1t is Interesting to compare
the different ages at which her Majesty S
children have been married. The
| Princess Beatrice is now betrothed in
her twenty eighth year, the Princess
Royal married in her eighteenth year,
the Prince of Wales was married when
in his twenty-second year, the Princess
Alice in her twentieth year, the Duke
of Edinburgh in his thirtieth year, the
Princess Helena in her twenty-firs
year, the Princess Louise in her twen-
ty-fourth year, the Duke of Connaught
in his twenty-ninth year, the Duke OF
Albany in his thirtieth year. The
united ages at marriage Of the five
royal princesses makes Ill years; the
united ages at marriage of the four
princes makes Ill years. BY striking
an average one finds that princesses
are married at % is years and princes
ct 27-3-4.

The funeral of Judge Walter King

Judge King died in this city on Sunday
at the residence of his brother, Hon.
Edward L. King.at 272l Clark avenue,

He was graduate of the University

ture from Ray county, one term before
the war and one since. In the war be-
tween The states he served as colonel
of the IN rd Missouri state militia. On
the expiration of his term Of service
he was appointed judge of the fifth
Judicial circuit by Gov. Fletcher.
RE held that the Drake test oath was
unconstitutional, and did not require
lawyers and jurors to take the oath
and on indictments being found against
lawyers, jurors, preachers and Others
who were required to take the oath, he
refused to sustain the same, in conse-
quence Of which he was iiupeached BY
the legislature of 1868. He was turned
out OF his judgeship, but he afterward
served in the legislature from Ray
county, and was on the committee tC
settle with the auditor and treasurer
and first made the discovery of the

amendment. Judge King was man
scholar and a great historian, few
persons having larger stock of gen.
eral information. He leaves wife and
two daughters, the latter attending
school in Kentucky.

A QUEER ULOOK.

In China they have a funny way OF
telling the time OF day by the eyes OF
the pussy cat. They use kitty's eye for
the dial face, ,and tell the time OF day by
the dilation OF the pupil. In the early
morning the pupil of the eye is very
large, and at noon it is very small. All
animals who can see best at night have
their eyes thus protected in the day
time from the glare OF the sun. China
men may enjoy thus catching cat
when they want TO know the time, but
do you not think it is much more sell.

piece?
