A Lesson Which Should Strengthen tho
Ambition Of Every Young Man.

Lesson Which Should Strengthen tho
Ambition Of Every Young Man.
IN. Y. Cor. Cincinnati Commerciai.I
What mighty changes can come to men
In few years in this country. The mar.
riage of Miss Katie Bantz Davis to Lieu
tenant Brown, of the Navy, illustrates
this. The bright young girl who recently
took husband in Baltimore is the second
daughter of ex-senator Henry G. Davis, of
West Virginia. She is an interesting
young lady, inheriting many of the traits
of her mother, from whom she is named.
The magnificent wedding and the number
of distinguished guests who were there IL
lustrate one of the singular phases of our
American life. Not many years ago her
father was brakeman and then a con-
ductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
the President of which line stood at the
marriage feast. Then there were present
many Senators and their wives and other
distinguished people from all parts of the
country. The father, Il plain, unassum-
ing man, saw his second daughter
welded with great ceremony. Miss
Halle, his eldest child, was at her sisters
nuptials. She is the wife of Stephen B.
Elkins, and there are few more charming
women in the country than Mrs. EIkins.
Walker Blaine was one of the groomsmen,
and in the list there were several other
young men who, some time or other, may
become distinguished. The bridesmaids
are equally well known in the social world.
AS Senator Davis looked on at this we'd
ding ceremony with all its style and rich
ness, he must have thought what a change
has come over him since he married Miss
Kate Rantz at FraIaricL Nd x,,lar ~
was poor man. Mr.. Blaine once told me
that Senator Davis was in prospective the
richest man in America, and he is now in
actual possession of many millions of
dollars. He has risen to place where he
can command for his daughters wedding
the fashionable people of the country,
as well as men distinguished in every
walk of life. Yet, can remember
that when he was elected to the United
States Senate, in which body he served
twelve years with great acceptability.
those who believe that book learning make
up the sum Of education sneered at his lack
OF rhetoric and good penmanship. But
Davis set an these people aside in the race,
aud with his homely habits, grew to be o
man OF force in every position which he
occupied. Lack of schooling seemed to
bring out his strong qualities, and the de-
mands upon him developed in him greater
natural gifts than most public men can
boast after the best chances for advances
ment and education. Having known his
moods and temperament for many years in
the sunshine and shadow of his fortune, It
is easy for me to imagine what thoughts
must have filed his busy mind when he
saw many of the people who used to pat
ronize him acknowledge the great place he
has made for himself in our National life,
both financial and political.

ALL IN A HORN.
A Down-East Practical Joke-EIe citing a
Fire Warden in Come necticut.
IN Y Mercurvl

IN. Y. Mercury.1
There are in Winsted, Comma lot of
business men who like to play practic al
jokes-men who would lie awake all night
to get the laugh on their neighbors, but as
these practical jokers work one another
and let the general public alone: they get
along quite smoothly.
One of the jokers was dentist, who had
at some time known considerable and at
the date of this incident had not forgotten
1t entirely. He was an incessant joker,
and being possessed of an unusual amount
OF self-importance the boys determined to
pay up old scores and balance accounts.
The dentist, whom we will call Ames for
sake of name, was particularly desirous
OF being fire warden, and one day after
the boys had all been posted, Bill Miner
steps mp to him and in his gentle way said !:
"Ames, you're just the man for Fire
Warden, and we've made up our mind
to run you tonight. If you are elected,
as you will be, we shall present you with
trumpet at the engine house tomorrow
night, and you will be expected to set 'em
up for the boys"
why, certainly" said Ames, and he
flew back to his Office and matured plans
for alarm signals, wrote several New
York houses for estimates on goods.
rushed on the street and button -holed
everybody, telling them of his good luck,
and spent more money for cigars than he
was ever known to before.
The next day Miner met him, told him il
was all right, and that that night there
would be meeting at the engine house,
and that he would be presented with a
horn; that he must be prepared to re-
spond, and at all events to make himself
solid with the boys by bringing plenty Of
refreshments.
So Ames went and ordered an ample
supply of cigars, while Miner was negoti-
ating for the horn.
Miner went down to the tin -shop and
had horn made about four feet long.
and then had it painted green, and Ames'
name lettered on it in great stvIe. Then
procuring some curtain cord with tassels,
he was completely equipped for the even
ing's seance.
A committee was appointed to escort
Ames to the engine-house, and at the hour
designated he appeared on the platform
and was met with perfect storm of an.
plause from the boys who had been enter.
tanned by the committee at Ames' expense,
After quiet had been restored, Miner
stepped forward, and addressing Ames, in
a neat speech, presented him the horn from
the mouth Of which protruded an elegant
bouquet.
The boys were stuffing handkerchiefs in
their mouths to keep from laughing, but
Ames took it in earnest, and commenced
his reply, congratulating the people upon
their selection Of an officer, and promising
all sorts of improvements.
The boys couldn't hold in any longer
and the roars of laughter shook the room.
Some one shouted Green horn ~ and then
Ames tumbled, and with look of infinite
disgust on his face, he marched out Of the
room and was lost to sight for several
days. If you want to see man get real
excited over a small matter, Just call him
Fire Warden Ames.

A Romance in Ebony.

Before the war it was common for neS
groes who were married, When sold and
taken to distant points, to remarry. This
led to some remarkable complications One
OF these is reported from Pitt County.
Amos Darden, Of Greenville, married Eliz-
abeth Jones long before the war and lived
with her twenty five years. His wife was
purchased by a man in Wilmington, and
she and Amos had to part. Soon Amos
was in double harness once more. With
wife No. he lived twenty five years,
when she died. Amos tried celibacy and
1t pleased him not. Hearing that wife No.
was still in health at the age of seventy.
he wrote her to share once more with him
the pleasures of matrimony. Tuesday FL
der Tom Moore joined them, and they are
now basking in the genial sunlight Of
each others smiles. The groom is iusA
seventy seven years old.

An interesting abduction story was
brought to light yesterday by habeas COR
pus proceedings which were commenced
in Judge Murphy's Court. Mrs. Kate Hol-
land, by her attorney, J. d. Sullivan, sued
out writ for the purpose of recovering
possession of her son Joseph, thirteen
years of age. The petitioner arrived in
this city few days ago from Gothic, Col,
IN search of her lost boy, who was stolen
from his home in Leadville in the latt er
part of August, 1882. She ascertained
that his whereabouts was known to Super
intendent Dooly, of the Boys and Girls
Aid Society. He was summoned to give
testimony in the case, and made his ap-
pearance in court at two O'Clock. He
stated that the boy was received from the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children on the 18th of May, 1888. He
came from Colorado with a blind beggar.
whom he WAS compelled to lead through
out the mining camps in the interior of the
State for the purpo of procuring aims.
Upon their arrival in this CITY the pair
attracted the attention OF Secretary
Hunter Of the Society for the Pre-
yention OF Cruelty to Children.
The beggar frequently became in
toxIcated. and treated the child in such
cruel manner that the latter was taken
from bis possession The unfortunate lad
informed the authorities that he came from
Colorado. but did not remember the loca-
ton of any relative. About two months
afterward he was sent to work for a man
who kept milk ranch near the Presidio,
but owing to the fact that he was nee
properly cared for he was again brought
to the home of the society. About six weeks
later be ran away, and was not again heard
from until the 21st of February, 1884. On
this date he was found in the City Prison :,
ragged and covered with vermin.

A well-known real estate dealer of De-
troit has for several years driven a slab
sided old horse before one of the worst
looking buggies on wheels. The harnesg
is never creased, the vehicle never washed,
and the long-haired equine hasn't been
tickled with a curry comb for years The
other day some friends of the agent de-
cided on an Improvement. The rig was
taken from in front of his office TO q livery
stable, where the horse was brushed, the
harness blackened, and the buggy washed
and oiled. 1t was then returned without
the owner being the wiser. Along toward
night he came out of his office, started for
the horse, stopped and looked around, and
presently called policeman across the
street and asked:
"Do you know my rigfn

observed the officer.

He united the horse, climbed in and
started of, but all of a sudden the animal
shook his head, made break for the side
walk, and the buggy brought up against q
hitching-post with the loss of a wheel.
Luckily for the agent, some one caught the
horse before he could do further damage.

Yesterday afternoon, when the crowd
was greatest around the Dime Museum
office, an old man, whose sflvery white
hair hung low over the worn and faded
velvet collar of a well brushed broadcloth
coat, stepped up to the ticket-selIer and
asked for ticket. He received It in his
trembling and wrinkIed hand and went
directly into the museum, where for the

While the repeal of the presumption
laws would no doubt be an unwise meas
ure and would rctard the development of
the country by the settlement of the pub
lie domain, the injury it would work would
not be irreparable, as the class of lands
generally taken under its provisions would
in the course of time be entered under the
homestead laws. This il not the case
with the desert land act. Its repeal might
leave, in the three states and eight terr't)
ries TO which its provisions apply, a vast
area of land, now absolutely worthless but
which under the strict enforcement of the
law would soon become productive, adding
to the wealth of the country and support
ing an increased population. That frauds
have been perpetrated, though not to the
exaggerated extent claimed, does not alter
the main fact that it is the only feasible
means of securing the reclamation of that
portion of the public lands, which in its
present condition is of no account either
to the government or to any citizen and
which, it is entirely safe to say, without
such a law will remain just as it is forever.
There is not a thoughtful citizen in this
territory who does not regret the prospect
of its repeal and recognize the certain in
jury such measure must work to the gen
eral welfare. 1t is HOPED that there arc
in the senate men of thorough informa-
ton and wide views, capable OF appreciat-
ing the demands of the situation and that
the law may be modified instead of being
repealed, that whatever frauds have been,
may not prevent the benefits which might
be. Certain it is, that if the honest enc
mics Of Tie law were thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the regions TO which it applies,
they would not only lose their fears of
cattle syndicatcs but would recognize. the
fact that to repeal the law would be abso-
lutely to turn over to them the whole
country in order to prevent their obtain

MIR. Darwin, in speaking of the won
derful difference in size between what is
regarded as the brain of the ant and that
of man, says: Ants communicate in
formation to each other, snd several
unite Tor the same work or games of
play. They recognize one another after
a long absence; they build great edifices,
keep them clean, close the doors in the
evening and post sentries: they make
roads and even tunnels under rivers:
they collect food for the community, and
when an object too large for Entrance is
brought to the nest they enlarge the
door, and afterward build it up again;
they 20 out to battle in regular bands
and freely sacrifice their lives for the
common veal; they emigrate in accord
ance with a preconcerted plan; they cap
ture slaves"
Dr. Lindsay, in speaking OF the white
ant, says; They exhibit foresight in the
construction Of long clay chimneys for
communication with air, land, or both,
during foundations. Their edifices or
constructive works include galleries and
corridors, magazines, nurseries, royal
OiiScss ofulilhfl TOOuls anu
egg rooms, floors and ceilings, pillars and
other appurtenances.'
OF the agricultural, or harvesting
ant, Or. Lindsay says: 1T not only stores
up seed, but cultivates the plants which
are to provide it, and carefully gathers
in its crop at the right season. In the
wet season the seed in the ~granaric are
apt to get wetted and to sprout; and, nc
eordingly, on the first fine day the ants
bring out all the damaged grain and set
1t In the sun to dry, returning to the
store only such as is uninjured. These
ants may truly be said to cultivate their
estates. They have grass paddocks.
From their fields they clear all the herb
age save aristidee ~stricta, n grain-bear
ing grass, called by DIR. Lincicum ant
rice, and they sow the seeds OF the same
grass. Sarah f. Titcomb.

ut is surprising" says Mr.. John II.
Sulliva-, what a trihing thing will start
a stampede that may cost many lives and
the loss of hundreds of cattle before it
can be controlled. / was coming up the
Texas trail once with a party of other
cowboys. We had 1000 cattle in the
bunch. One Of the boys opened his
tobacco-pouch to get a chew. The wind
blew n shred or two of the fine cut out of
his fingers. The tobacco floated away
and lodged in a steers eye. In n moment
the eye began to smart, and the steer got
wild. Its antics started others, and in
ten seconds the whole herd was surging
and dashing about, out Of all control. 1t
was two days before we got the herd
working quietly again. Two of our best
boys were trampled to death, and scores
of cattle were lost Exchange.

ANY crank holding Confederate bonds
may present them before the committee
on war claims and ask for payment. This
cannot be helped, and will continue SO
long as there is such a committee. But
it requires no wisdom to know that even
II the committee were mad enough or
foolish enough TO recognize such "A debt,
any appropriation to meet it would BIZ
unconstitutional and absolutely without
power to move a cent from the treasury.
Yet journals that know The impossibility
of the slightest danger, are thrown into
spasmodic Apprehension by the presenta-
ton of such a claim and forcbode all sorts
Of dire things from a Democratic admins
tration. This is foolish enough even in
campaign times when it is permitted even
to the wise journalist TO make a TOOL Of
himself occasionally, but now such pre-
tended fear is glaringly absurd. Besides,
as everyone should know the confederate
debt has not become due, nor will it until
after the ratification of a treaty between
the Confederate States and the United
States Nevertheless, no less than three
Republican exchanges seem to be in an
agony of fear on the subject.

THE Philadelphia 7in,eS thus ably sums
mp the result of the great strikes:
The first impressive lesson of the great
railroad strikes in the West was read AID
commented upon some weeks ago. 1t
told the old, old story of strikes precipitat-
ed without reason. All the strikers,
amounting to a dozen thousands, were
idle for two full months at a loss of not
less than two millions a week in wages
alone; and when the strike ended, half
the places of the strikers were filled, and
Blk or seven thousand men, who left
work without complaint as to wages,
hours Of labor or manne of payment,
could get no employment at all. In
>@loIt, they suffered two months OF idle
ness andNarvation only to find more than
half their labor accepted by bette and
wiser men, and when they would gladly ac
ccpt the labor and wages they rejected,
they could not obtain them. In a%ldiftfUn

ploying power of the railroads they SO
wantonly crippled in their business. and
