mounted affair, and along the top of the
barrel, in gold letters, reads the inscrip-
ton: Presented by the Young men of
Philadelphia to Hon. David Crockett. of
Tennessee" Near the muzzle, lust back
of the bead, was the Coloners motto
60 Ahead" Many of the letters were

There is not a gun in Arkansas to-day
which will shoot truer. Tkilled hun

An old man Of Sixty-seyen years has been
subject TO scr0fulous sores five years. He
had one on his cheek as large as a silver dol

offensive matter. Another on his foot of the
same character. and several on his hands, all
of about two and half years standing. His
general health was poor. and he could Scarce
ly get about at all. He has taken two bottles
of Swift's Specific. The sores are all well,
leaving scarcely vestige of their former cx-

Offensive Partisans.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Secretary Man
ming has struck something rich in the way
of offensive partisanship. He is only wait
ing to get "a good ready" before he reveals
his bonanza to the country. In 1876
there were twenty-three state associa-
tions of Republicans in Washington.
That year congress passed into the
control of the Democrats and, as a
party measure the opposition bills
were so framed in the interest of reform as
to force the dismissal of 635 subordinate Of
fcials in the departments. The chairmen
of the twenty-three associations formed
themselves into committee and prepared a
complete roll of Democrats in each depart
ment, gathering up the information through
the secret work of their associations. The
cabinet officers were furnished with the
names of Democrats, and in nearly
every division or bureau where the Demo-
cratic congress had cut down the clerical
force the victims were selected from the
black-listed Democrats. With only two or
three exceptions these chairmen are still in
the government employ. Mr. Manning has
obtained the list and the positions occupied.
1t need hardly be added that not one of the
chairmen will survive, officially, to tell the
tale.

QUEBEC, May 22.-The bark Brilliant,
which arrived here last night from Pers-
grund, had on board the crews of the bark
Bayard, Capt. Andersen, from Drobak to
Metis, and of the steamer Mary Louisa OF
New Castle, Capt Graft, from New York
for Liverpool. Capt. Andersen of the bark
Bayard states he left Drobak April for
orders to Metis. The vessel met with vari-
able weather until midnight of the 9th OF
May, when with the weather thick and
foggy she ran into ice near the
banks of Newfoundland. The YES
sci was completely surrounded by
heavy ice. The crew. remained on board
the vessel until Tuesday afternoon, when
the icebergs came humping against the
ing in her port side. They then took to the
boats and went ON the ice, barely
ESCAPING WITH THEIR LIVES,
and saving nothing whatever. They re-
manned three days and three nights on the
ice and tell tale of great hardship and
suffering. All the clothing they had was on
their backs, and this becoming wet added
to their misery. They came well out of
the ice on Sunday, and took one boat and
pulled westward. After pulling for about two
hours they heard a steamers whistle and
soon pulled alongside, which proved to be the
Mary Louisa OF New Castle, bound for Liv-
erpool. They were taken on. board, and
the captain stated they also had struck on
the ice some time before and the vessel was
then leaking badly. Capt. Andersen had
been aboard just about an hour when the
Mary Louisa began to sink. Both crews,
numbering thirty-fve, left the steamer in
three boats and proceeded west again.
They were picked up by the Brilliant, after
having spent five days among the. icebergs
in mid-Ocean.

Origin of the Fire.

CINCINNATI, May 22.-Late last night
the boy who could give an authentic ac
count of the origin Of the fire yesterday
was found by the coroner's clerk at his
home in an extreme portion of the city.
The boy, whose name is John Meyers, it
appears ran from the building at the be-
ginning of the fire, and went to drug
store, where his wounds were dressed, and
he then went home. He said he was sent
down to the first floor yesterday afternoon
to get a tWo-gallOn can of benzine. He
got it from Orth & WiSsel, who keep dye
house on the first floor. Going up to the
second floor, he was passing along a narrow
passage beside the presses in the direction
of the elevator shaft, when in the dark, he
stumbled struck the can against press
and broke the glass. The benzine flowed
out and as the pressman had a gas light burn
ing there, the light gas almost instantly ex-
ploded. Meyers feet, saturated with ben
zine, took fire and he ran toward the stair
way, where he extinguisffedg the fire on his
person and ran down to the drug store. The
coroner will begin the inquest tomorrow.
Miss Mamie Shepherd, who jumped from
the third story of Sullivan's printing estab-
lishment and was caught on a tarpaulin, and
was thought not to be fatally injured, died
to-day. Miss Emma Pinchback, the one who
was saved by the rope, had her hands so
horribly burned that it is thought she must
lose her right forearm. The other injured
are doing well.

Montana Land Laws.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Quite large
number of land entries were allowed in
Montana, the declarations and affidavits for
which were executed before r. G. Webster,
deputy clerk of the district court
Webster was appointed by the clerk
as deputy for the sole purpose
of taking proofs of land entries. The land
Office held that the laws OF Montana did not
recognize the appointment of an officer for
that purpose, and hence the declarations
and afidavits executed before him were i'll
valid. Upon appeal the secretary of the
interior has reversed that decision
and holds that regardless of the question
whether the deputy was or was not legally
entitled to hold that Office, he was dep
uty clerk de facto and as such the depart
ment would not question the authority by
which he held the Office, and that it was
competent to inquire into the authority by
which the officer exercised his functions.

Humboldt on Top of POpOcatapetl.
Moritz Busch in Our Chancellor

MOritZ Busch in Our Chancellor.
The old gentleman used to be horribly
annoyed when he could not have all the
talking to himself. / remember that once
there was somebody at the kings who took
up the conversation, and quite naturally
for he could talk in an agreeable manner
about things that interested every one pres
ent. Humboldt was beside himself. Growl-
ing, he filled his plate with pile of goose
liver pie, fat eels, lobster tails, and other
indigestible substances--a real mountain!
It was quite astonishing what the old man
could put away. When he could positively
eat no more he could no longer keep quiet,
and so made an attempt to get the CONVEX
sation into his own hands. "Upon the
peak of Popocatepeh. ," he began-but it
was no use; the narrator would not be cut
short in his story Upon the peak Of Po-
pocatepetl, 1000 yards above" he
resumed, after coughing and raking up his
throat to attract attention; but again he
failed to get his oar in, and the narrator
calmly went on. Upon the peak of Po-
pocatepetl, ,7;00O yards above the level of
the Pacific ocean," he exclaimed
in a loud agitated voice. shaken by grief
and indignation; but all to no purpose; the
other man talked away as steadily as be-
fore, and the company listened to him and
to. him only. Such a thing had never been
heard Of. Humboldt sat downin a fury and
plunged into profound meditations upon the
ingratitude Of cOurtiers.

a child would be so preposterously in the
way as only to call attention to the outra
geousness of the fancy. Even in nature
the wing of a swallow, or gull, or any swift
flying bird, looks foolish so soon as the
creature is aground. Accordingly we find
that in art the most successful results have
been reached where there has been no at
tempt to make the wings mechanically ade
Quate, but an endeavor only to proportion
them to the size and shape of the figure,
without any regard to its weight. One may
suppose them features which, through dis
use, have dwindled to proportions possible
in art, Indeed, some of the very happiest
wings are the most rudimentary. The tiny
Cupid's wing, just budding from his cheru-
bic shoulder, seems to belong more inti-
mately to it than any other form of wing
yet invented. The Renaissance version CT
this Hedging feature is sometimes as beau
tiful as it is suggestive
