Tact.

A wealthy lady had issued invita-
tions for dinner party of twelve,
and on the morning of the appointed
day, when comforting with her head
servant, she discovered that one Of
the twelve silver shells, in which
scalloped oysters were to be served,
had been misplaced.
Rigid search for the missing article
having proved unavailing, the lady
decided that, sooner than give up
that particular course, she would
simply decline oysters when they
were handed her, and so the eleven
shells would be sufficient.
But when the servant handed her
the oysters at dinner she was inter-
ested in conversation, and mechani-
cally took them.
If the servants heart fell in con-
sternation at this, he gave no exter-
nal sign OF 1t, but, speaking In terms
distinct though low, said, respect
fully;
excuse me, madam, but you said
was to remind you that the doctor
forbade you eating oysters"
His mistress laughed, and returned
the oysters, saying in explanation to
her guests:
81 am so absent-minded that l
have to engage Thomas to remember
things for me sometime" which, in
deed, was literally true,
Afterwards the lady told the story
against herself, as a striking instance
of tact on the part Of her servant.

MEMORY'S ANGELS.

When the crystal heights of silence
Are with starry splendors crowned,
And the nights stupendous shadow
Wraps the dreaming world around.
Through the purple gates of twilight,
Flushed with sunsets dying glow,
In the days departing footsteps
Silent angels come and go.
Unforgotten deeds of kindness,
Gentle words that Frightened care,
Clasping hands and cherry greetings
That have blessed us unaware;
Hopes whose rainbow light of promise
From unclouded ether shed,
Arched our morning dreams with splendOr
In the spring-times that are dead
Love, that lured us with a vision
OF a nobler life than this,
Where the souls incarnate ideal
Dwelt in apothess;
Faiths--long cancelled-that were blighted
To the friends OF other years,
Touch the sealed springs of feeling
And unlock the fount of tears
In the silence, palpitating
With the sense of unseen things,
We can feel their phantom touches
Hear the measured sweep of wings
Catch the fleeing, shadowy fragrance
OF unearthly roses shed
By the fair, uniading garlands
Wreathed about each shining head
Ii our souls some sleeping sorrow
Wakes the throbbing life again;
Smoldering grief to keener passion
Leaps beneath their touch of pain,
Lost delights-unstable pleasures
Dreams that died and made no sign
Shadowy ghosts Of Joy departed,
Our departing hearts divine.
Now they feel the frutless longing
OF unsleeping memory
For the loved yet banished faces
We no more on earth shall see,
Or, with tender hands they lead us
Back by pleasant paths of yore,
To the lowly grass-grown threshold
Weary feet shall pass no more.

Why Twelve Men Constitute a Jury

The why and wherefore of the rea-
son for twelve men on a jury has not
received a definite explanation that
we know of, other than under the old
Jewish dispensation the twelveseem-
ed to be a sort of mystical number, as
we read of "The Twelve Apostles"
'"Twelve Prophets" There were also
twelve JEWS Judges, twelve pillars
in the temple, twelve stones in
Aaron's breast plate, twelve months
in year and twelve signs in the
zodiac, and hence following the Gus
toms the number twelve has become
engrafted on the new land.

trated in the official exhibit of the
State an hour would convey more in
formation than a hundred Columns
Of description. But it is well to call
attention to the matter, because New
Orleans has a heavy stake in the pres
ent and future development of Ten
nessee. The coming readjustment of
American commercial relations will
make it important for us to look to
the vast products of this valley COM
mOnwealth, which has shown such a
community of interest with LOuisi-
ana. But for the steady backing of
Tennessee's energetic and enterpris-
ing commissioner, who is also presi-
dent of the Southern immigration
Society, it is doubtful if New Orleans
could have been established as the
headquarters and entrepot for all
Southern immigration and there are
many directions in which the inhu-
ence Of the Tennessee delegation at
the Exposition has been felt in the
promotion of Southern interests in
broadcast scale. Among all the peace
full embassies sent by our sister States
to the great congress of progress and
education, none have made a more
striking record none is more truly
entitled to honor than that from Ten
npSSee.

Successful farmers, whether dairy
men, fruit growers or stock raisers,
are those who consult the require
ments of the market rather than their
own inclinations in the matter. Con-
sumers who pay their money will al
ways demand a voice in the style and
variety Of goods they purchase. Thus
it is the breeders of grade draft horses
meet a ready demand andgood prices
for all the good heavy horses as soon
as they are old enough for market.
The markets of this country and all
Europe are eagerly calling for more
good draft horses and of a heavier
type. They are equallyready to pay
the increased price for the extra
heavy teams when they can find
them, and so of the best stock of beef
and dairy cattle and hogs. The high
grades and full blOods pay best for
the strong competition Of the world.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Examination OF the Accounts of the u.
=. Treasurer-A RumOr Concerning the
First Assistant Postmaster General
Examination in the Pension Burean.
WASHINGTON. MAY Is.

WASHINGTON, May Is.
The report of the committee appointed to
examine the assets and books of the United
States treasurer, shows a complete verifica-
ton of the books and accounts of the late
Treasurer Wyman. The verifcation of the
correctness of the balances reported to the
credit of the public disbursing officers, how
ever, was not as complete as the committee
would prefer, and therefore the accounts
were written up to April 80, last. and sent to
the several depositors for verifcation and
report.
1t has been rumored that the first assistant
postmaster general, Hay, who is in Philadel-
phia for the benefit Of his health would be
unable to assume the duties of his office, and
it has been stated also that the Pennsylvania
democrats, believing that he would resign,
were already urging the appointment of ex-
Congressman Mutchner to succeed him.
Postmaster General Villas, however, says the
rumor is incorrect
Commissioner of Pensions Black has re-
Gently made thorough examination Of that
branch of special examination division of the
bureau known as the Army and Navy Surviv-
ors' Branch, which is charged with the duty
of securing and placing on file, the names and
addresses of the ex soldiers and sailors of the
Union with the object of aiding the applicants
tor pensions to secure evidence necessary to
the final adjudication of their claim, as well
as placing the Office in communication with
reliable men as protection against fraud.
As result of his examination Commissioner
Black has decided to enlarge the scope of
work committed to it and TODAY issued an
order organizing 1t into a new division of the
pension bureau. He has appointed a. its
chief, Major Frank II. Bates Of New Y ork,
who served throughout the war in the 47th
New York Veteran Volunteers, and who is
the originator of the work of the division.

BURTON AND CUNNINGHAM.
Both Found Guilty and Sentenced to
Penal Servitude for Life.

LONDON, May Is.
The trial of Cunningham and Burton at the
Old Bailey, was brought to conclusion to-
day. The court room was crowded with peo-
pie. Among the notables present were the
Lord Mayor and u. S. Minister Phelps.
There were many ladies in the room. The
prisoners were anxiously looking forward to
Judge Hawkins charge. The drift of the
charge was clearly against the prisoners. He
analyzed the evidence, calling the jury's at
tention to the fact that Burton's statement
was not made under oath. and therefore en-
titled to very little credence. If there was
any truth in the statement, said the judge,
it was astounding that no witness was called
to support it. The Judge drew attention like
wise to the fact that Cunningham and Burton
had frequently been seen together, and dwelt
upon their connection with the trunk, what
they had told their landlords concerning il,
and the unsatisfactory explanation Cunning
ham had since given Of his relations thereto.
The jury then retired They remained
out not longer than fifteen minutes and re-
turned with q verdict Of guilty against both
prisoners. The court at once sentenced both
men to penal servitude for life.
The announcement of the sentence was re-
ceived by the spectators with applause. which
the court suppressed. Cunningham main
tanned self composure, but Burton broke
down and sobbed when the verdict was rem
dered. When the prisoners were asked If
they had anything to say why the sentence of
the Law should not he passed upon them,
Cunningham protested that he was innocent.
He said he was willing to accept penal servi-
tlde for life, but they could not touch his
soll. Burton simply declared he was inno-
cent.
Burton, in protesting his innocence, said
that the whole power of England and the
United States has been brought to bear
against him, and he hoped the day would
come when he would receive justice.

LONDON, May Is.
The government has ordered dry dock
capable of holding the largest ironelsd to be

The hitch in the negotiations between Eng
land and Russia caused government securi-

steady rise during the week.
The Hicdoo Patrol. published at Calcutta,
describes the Fenjdeh affair as an insult thal
England would never have tolerated from
any other power than Russia, except perhaps
native Indian papers deplore England's sur.
render to Russia.
Calcutta, May Is.
An Englishman learns that Yakoob Khan
considers the cession of Penjdeh to Russia q
fatal error on the part Of England and the
Ameer.
The Times, referring to the Afghan pa
pers, says much useless correspondence and
mischievous irritation would have been
avoided If the government had discovered
earlier that the Ameer did not want Penjdeh.
LONDON, May Is.
A suggestion of further difficulty with
Russia is furnished by report that is to the
effect thar the Russian government has de-
manded and obtained from Persia the release
of Ayoub Khan. This veteran intriguer. the
luEmcT huccT OI AtkuouIbtSu, WAS HIteeVtu
early last month by the Shah at the solicita-
ton of the British consul at Tehersn, who
had information that Ayoub was about to be
employed by Russia to ferment a rising
against the Ameer, with 4 view to Ayoub's
ultimately occupying the throne a. Russian
tool. Ayoub has been detained as semi
prisoner at Teheran since April IL, notwith-
standing one or two mild protests by Russia.
The latest report indicates that Russia has
got tired of protesting, and that being salts
fed that England's complacence will stretch
to any limit, she has altered her tone to one
of command. If it be true that the Shah has
released Ayoub upon Russia's demand, il is
significant as proving that British prestige
among the Asiatcs is crumbling.
The House of Commons this evening, in
the committee of supply, considered the vote
of credit.
Lord Randolph Churchill moved reduc-
ton Of two millions, for the purpose of call
ing attention to Saturdays blue book on the
PeDjdeh incident. He said the indignation
aroused by the perusal of the dispatches was
not confined to the Tory party. but was
shared by the country at large and even by
the liberal newspapers. He maintained that
M. De Giers had said nothing to justify
Gladstone's statement in Parliament that it
had been agreed that no further advance
should be made on either side. He declared
that Gladstone's statement of March l3 WAS q
fiction and phantom without the smallest
justification.
After some further discussion Lord Ran
dolph asked leave to withdraw the motion.
Mr.. Biggar insisted upon decision on the
motion.
LONDON, May Is.
1t is authoratively stated tonight that Rus
sia demands the Maruchak and Zulibakar
Passes, the possession of which points the
