FINE TESTIMONIAL.

On last Saturday evening Mr. Geo. e..
Spalton, manager of the Lombard Mort
gage company-who resigns to go 10 Europe
in the course of few days, ami who will be
succeeded by Selah S. King, was sent for in
great haste to come down to the bank build
ing. Arriving upon the ground he found the
mortgage company's force and the bank
force in possession OF his office. Without
deisning any explanations Mr.. Kos Harris
opeDed up i'm the name of those present In
one of his most taking speeches, at the con
clusion of which he handed Mr.. Spalton a
magnificent gold watch of splendid design
and finish with his monogram beautifully
chased on the diverse side. Mr.. Spaiton
never lacks for happy response, which IN
this instance was feeling one. Lindsay,
Humphrey, Skinner, King and Harris and
Miss MAY Skinner we believe were the donors
of the magnificent testimonial OF worth and
appreciation What happened after the
speech making and after the ladies had with
drawn may only be guessed at. but it was a

TO BORE FOR & AS.

Mr.. j. W. Heath. OF Clarendon, Fennsyl-
yania. who wrote the EAGLE few weeks
ago touching a proposition to bore for
natural gas III Wichita, mention of which
was made at tie time, arrived in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Heath is an expert and the
owner of gas well machinery. While a
strongly flowing well of natural gas would
be worth million dollars to Wichita. he
SAYS he nor anyone can tell whether it is
here or not before test is made which would
cost considerable money. The hole put
down here, which was eleven hundred feet
deep would, he says, decide nothing, as we
would have to so below sea level for gas IN
all probability. The fact that this is out
side of the coal III aaSures cuts no figure as q
majority OF the best wells are found outside
of those measures. We hope that onr peo-
pie or at least some representation commit
tee may be gotten together to hear Mr..
Heath. who not only comes well recon-
mended, bu. who is known away from home

Emperor Kwang on His Travels.

EfhpeToF ANahS on HIS travels.
When the emperor Kwang Su loft
Peklhg lately to visit the eastern ton bs
there were at least 30, 600 persons in the
procession. The emperor was borne in
a chair with sixteen bearers, who are
trained to their work, and all tall men
OF the same height, and are forbidden
to smoke, cough or spit, nor must they
utter even a whisper. The emperor sat
in glass chair. There is a single large
sheet of plate glass on each side, through
which he could be seen distinctly. When
the procession left the palace gates i.
entered upon carefully lcvelled road,
covered with yellow earth on which
not stone or a stick could be seen,
A troup of about fifty horsemen, distrib-
uted before and behind the emperor.
rode on in good order, there being no
sound heard but the tramp of the
horses feet. No one was allowed to be
in the streets except persons having
duties connected with the imperial
progress, but all along the way small
holes were perforated through the shop
shutters, and a thousand eyes were
watching to catch sight of the Son Of
Heaven and Of the empress in their yell
low chairs. To those outside the city
more liberty is allowed. The people are
permitted to look on, but they must
knecl at a distance of not less than
twenty or thirty yards from the emperor.

Had Been in The Preserves Too.

A certain widow lady owned a parrot,
and being absent from home one day,
the said parrot got into her jar Of pre-
serves, and ate them all up. The widow
on coming home, discovered the mischief,
and was 50 indignant at the "Pretty
Poll' that she caught up kettle Of hot
water and threw it upon it. The opera
ton robbed it Of its bright plumage, and
left it in state of nudity.
1t went skulking around for several
days, quite despondent and ashamed
when presently the widows bcau-an old
widower, who like ''Poor old Uncle
Ned, had no hair on the top of his
head, =" came to see her.

9aae and most estceme | citizens of
Washington Their glaces are for life,
and they receive $4,000, having the
privilege Of retiring at 20 with continu-
alton Of the same salary. This freedom
from an uncertainty about the future and
removal from any temptation to dabble
IN politics doubtless have much to do
with their amiahleness and serenity.
judge Bradley Is 10; judge Miller is 20;
Chief Justice Waite and judge Field will
be 20 in November, so that President
Cleveland will have it in his power to
appoint their successors, provided they
retire This fact causes the Supreme
Court to be a source Of unusual interest
Just now to many lawyers all over the
land. The judges enjoy excellent health
= they average 200 poun Is each, Bradley
being the only thin man among them
and have, as whole, been remarkable
for longevity. There have been but

Justices. The government has already
paid them more than 200, 600 in sal

ease, comfort and dignity, no political
position in the republic equals that of a

WINGED sea,engers of lhe Soulh.

1t IS against the law in almost every
Southern State to shoot turkey buzzard,
says Georgia letter 10 the New York
Sun. There are two excellent reasons
for this prohibition: the buzzards arc
the scavengers Of the South, and there
is no telling what sort of pestilence a
dead turkey buzzari would bring on if
anybody should kill one.
The turkey buzzard is a knowing
bird. He knows he is not good 10 be
caten-though his knowing this docs
not imply that he has superior knowledge
and he is not Shy Of mankind. lie
hovcrs over the market places in the
Southern cities waiting for business to
close; and when the crowd Of purchasers
has departed the buzzard deseends and
feasts upon the odds and ends that have
fallen from the butchers and fi-hmonr-
ers' knives. The scarcity Of hash, mince
pie and fish chowder in the Southern
States is something for which the buz.
zard should have credit. In Charleston
there is big public market down by the
water, and the buzzards always clean up
after business hours. The wisdom Of
the turkey buzzard is shown also by one
OF his expedients for getting rid Of work.
He goes to the mouths Of rivers, where
the connecting forces Of current and tide
deposit on the banks a considerable pro
portion of the carrion and other unwhole-
some things that are borne toward the
sea on the rivers flood, and there he ac-
commodities his not very fastidious APP
petite to the movement Of the tides. All
animals that perish inland are found by
the buzzards. 1t is even said that focks
Of these birds will hover for days and
nights over a horse or COW that is ON its
last legs.
The turkey buzzard, despite his for
midable look, is a harmless bird. Not
only does he never strike a creature till
it is down, but he hardly ever strikes it
till it is dead. Buzzard's eggs arc not
edible. Indeed, it is as much rs a parent
bird can endure to sit over them while
Matching them, with only two eggs in
the nest at that. Even under those
conditions the male bird has to take his
turn on the nest part Of the time in order
to let the m aternal buzzard go off and
get some fresh air.
