DR.. Cornelius Logan. the generals
brother, who represented this country in
various capacities in South America,
and finally as minister 10 Chill, chatting
with me about the instruction in Uru-
quay, told me an incident of his expert
ence in 1882 at Panama. He had been
to call on the representative of the gov
ernment then in possession at Panama,
when the question of the stability of the
government had come up. He was told
that there had been no instruction for a
long time, and there were no prospects
of another for years to come.
Stepping back across the public square
to reach the hotel, the doctor was sud-
denly surprised to see at the upper end
of the street leading into the plaza a
large number of men with arms in their
hands rush out from the houses and
form into line, level their guns and fire
n volley point blank across the square.
Then they scuttled away like vermin in
a cellar from an approaching light. The
bullets whistled around his head, and
how he escaped he declares is a miracle.
When he got to his hotel, being unable
to understand the affair of which he was
a witness, he made inquiries and found
out that this was the beginning of a new
revolution. The doctor told me that this
is a fair sample of the stability of the
South American countries.-Cor Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

Many people fall ill of disease simply
through fear of it. The imagination has
a powerful influence on the human body.
One can very easily imagine himself to
be catching cold at the sight of an open
window, wien if he had not known the
window was open, or was not afraid of
its effects, he would escape the cold.
Doctors understand this secret, but they
do not impart it to their patients. Most
invalids, real or supposed, would be
angry if a physician would say to them,
Nothing ails you, you only think so.r
They prefer to think themselves sick,
and in time they really become SC, for
nature, though she struggles hard, can
not stand everything. Too many drugs
will finally destroy her healing power.
These people who love to have a box of
white pills in bottles, and n little book,
all kept in some handy place, SO that
when a friend who has eaten too much
dinner says, "Oh, l am f~earfully nerv-
ous!" they may run for the little book,
look for nervousness" and administer
so many pills of bryonia. When they
have a headache, instead of dieting or
eating more moderately. they take
several drops of some nice poison. They
trust nothing to nature, but call in a
doctor for every little ailment, when
fresh air. exercise, and strict temperance
in eating and drinking is all they need.

WINGED scAveNeeRs OF THE SOUTH
Fundamental Facts as to the Nature an,
Utility of the Turkey Buzzard.

Fundamental Facts as to the Nature and
Utility OF the Turkey Buzzard.
The so-called turkey buzzard Is not n
buzzard, but a vulture. BY insisting
upon his distinction the buzzard tribe
could improve its reputation for cleanli-
ness. 1t Is against the law in almost
every southern state TO shoot u turkey
buzzard. There are two excellent reasons
for this prohibition; the buzzards are the
scavengers of the SOUTH, and there is no
telling what sort of a pestllence n dead
turkey bnzzard would bring on II anybody
should kill one.
The turkey buzzard is a knowing bird.
He knows he is not good to be eaten
though his knowing this does not imply
that he has superior acknowledgement he is
not shy OF mankind. He hovers over the
market places in the southern cities, wait
ing for business to close; and when the
crowd of purchasers has departed the buzz
zard descends and feasts upon the odds
and ends Tint have fallen from the
butchers and the ~fishmongers' knives.
The scarcity of hash, mince pie and fish
chowder In the southern states is some
thing for which the buzzard should have
credit. In Charleston there is u big pub
lie market down by the water, and the
buzzards always clean up after business
hours.
The wisdom of the turkey buzzard is
known also by one of his expedicnts for
getting rid of work, which is ~fatiguing in
the southern states. lie gees to the
mouths of rivers, where the conflicting
forces of current and It'd deposit on the
banks n considerable proportion Of the
carrion n other unwholesome things
that nre borne toward the sea on the
rivers flood, M there he accommodates
his not very fastidious appetite to the
movement OF the tides. All animals that
perish inland are found by the buzzards.
IL is even said that flocks of these birds
will hover for days and nights over n
horse or cow that is on its last legs. a
northerner was driven out of southern
Georgia last winter by some one telling
him that the buzzards were beginning to
keep an eye on him. Last summer the
sheriff of n county In Florida disappeared
in the woods after having loaded up n big
revolver, and told his wife he was going
10 shoot himself. Some little effort was
made to learn whether he had kept his
promise, but after "A day of searching in
the cypress swamps the searchers sat
down in the shade of their houses and
said they would wait three days, when
the buzzards would find him, and then
they would find the buzzards.
The turkey huzzard, despite his formid-
able look, is n harmless bird. Not only
does he never strike a creature till 1t Is
down, but he hardly ever strikes 1t TIL II

Concerning tho so-Called Century Plant.
Not a bit. replied the garrulous old
gentleman, who no longer posed as a
century plant expert o that he was in
the presence of a genuine pulque drinker;
but how about this century business?"
You Americans have invented the
century plant name. We do not call it a
century plant in Mexico. 1t is not a cen
fury plant at all, though I observe that
ninety-nine out of every hundred people
who come up here to see these
mezcals seen to think that the plants
bloom when they are just 100 years
old, and l heard one old man telling a
young woman hat in Mexico they al
ways put a stone beside the plants, with
the date of their birth carved thereon,
so that succeeding generations may
know when to expect the flowers"
Here the old gentlemen WINGED, for it
was he who had just been telling that
story to a bevy of young girls in white
dresses and Folsom hats.
1.-THE fact is" continued the swarthy
man, that the so-called century plant
some times blooms in ten years, and usu-
ally in about fifty years. Much depends
on the region in which it grows. In hot
climates and under favorable conditions
it grows quickly and attains its perfect
state. In a climate like this, where it is
cultivated as an exotic. perhaps a hum
dred years may be required to bring out
the flowers. 1t is another popular error
that after the plant has once bloomed it
will not bloom again for a hundred
years. As soon as the flowers fall the
plant withers and dies. "-Chicago Herald.

The late John Kelly introduced some
new ideas into journalism whem he had
control of The New York Star. His
home was some distance from the city.
and there he had a complete little print
ing office, including a small job press.
Everything he wrote was set up in this
establishment, and the proofs corrected
and revised until they were entirely free
from error. Then IA final impression
was struck off, and this was the shape
in which his copy" arrived at The Star
office. 1t absolutely shut the door on
any excuse for errors.
In addition to this his private print
ing office was used for typographical ex-
periments, the result of which appeared
from time to time in the columns of The
Star. Any change in the style, as the
heads. was always first thoroughly tested
in this way. Mr.. Kelly was very seldom
seen about the office. / worked there
for a year and did not even know him
by sight. He knew very few of The
Star people personally. but used to mark
articles he liked in the paper and in.

As TO

In expressing its belief that Hon. NJ.
4. Post should be appointed governor as
the choice of a large majority Of the De-
mocracy and Of the people of Wyoming,
THE LEADER had no reflection to make
upon other candidates, whom it did not
regard as SO generally acceptable; nor did it
think proper to cast a slur upon any por-
ton of the territory. When it becomes
necessary to promote the interest Of
Cheyenne, or to enhance the reputation Of
Cheyenne's citizens by detracting from
any other community or by aspersing any
other men, THE LEADER will retire from
the contest.
The Buffalo Echo in the warmth of its
advocacy of a johnson county man for
governor and another johnson county
man for delegate-both estimable gentle
men in whose behalf a fairer course of
reasoning might have been adopted
takes occasion to say:
But the great underlying argument,
the reason of all reasons why Mr.. Beck
should not be favored, is, in the minds of
the Cheyenncse (but not in their papers,
Of course that he is a resident of North
ern Wyoming and consequently of the
opinion that Cheyenne does not comprise
the whole of the territory"
In the next sentence the reader is as
sured that THE Echo does not advocate
Mr.. Beck's appointment on purely sec
tional grounds"-an assurance which
would be wholly unnecessary were it not
for the readiness to impute to Others the
motive disclaimcd for itself. Yet few
iournals-beside the Echo-are better
than the opinion they entertain of their
class. In this instance, Mr.. Beck's advo-
cate can easily clear itself of sectional
motives, inasmuch as considerations of
that character would be of equal weight
in determining the preference of its local
contemporary, the Big Horn Sentinel,
which i%ncliues to look Upon the subject in
a wholly different light.

The history Of Guernsey furnishes n Gu
rious and perhaps instructive instance OF
the kind OF uses that paper money may
serve. 1t was determined TO build a meat
market, and $4,000 were devoted to pay
the cost. Notes were issued by the nu-
thorities for that amount, and were guar
anteed on the whole of the property OF
the island, said to be worth four Millions
These notes were worthless outside of
Guernsey, and so they were never export
ed. They were one pound notes, and We're
numbered from l up TO 1000. With them
the contractor was paid, he paid his work
men in the same money, and those that
supplied him with materials. Tradesmen
took them for goods, Landlords for rent
and the authorities for taxes.
I'm due season" to quote from iona
than Duncan, 1.-THE market was complete.
The butchers stalls, with some public
rooms constructed over them, were let for
an annual rent OF e400. AT the first year
OF tenancy the states called In the first
batch Of notes, numbered from l to 400,
and with the fi00 Of real money received
for rent redeemed the fi00 OF representa-
tive money expressed by the meat market

notes were redeemed through the applica-
ton OF ten years rental; and since that
period the meat market has returned q

The California Legislature is now in
special session called to provide for the
defects In the irrigation laws, which have
been practically annulled BY a recent de.
cision Of the supreme court to the effect
that all the water in streams not navigable
belongs to the riparian proprietors. This
doctrine overturns the fundamental prin-
ciple Of the whole system of water rights
as applied to irrigation, though it is in
accord with the rule of common law. 1t is
probable that the legislature will provide
a remedy by declaring the common law
not applicable, or submitting a constitu-
tional amendment to that purport.

There has been much holding up of
hands and shaking of heads" writes
James Payn from London, "over n love
affair in the Black country, where two
young men fought with fists for three
quarters of al hour by n Wednesday,
clock for the possession of a fair damsel
who had promised to take as her bride
groom the one who proved himself the
better man; yet in the good old times
nothing was more common, and such an
incident was held to be full of romance.
The whole difference lies in the fact that
in the one case the combatants were
knights in Milan steel, and, in the other,
workingmen in their shirt sleeves; and |
am inclined to think hat n good deal OF
the chivalry OF the middle ages would
disappear if the Milan steel were scraped

A COMMISSION has been appointed by
the secretary of the interior to negotiate
with the Indians for the reduction of
resery a atoms in the state of Minnesota and
several of the territories, but Wyoming
does not appear in the list. Though but
one Indian reservation has been establish
ed within the territory yet its extent is
far in excess of any present or future re-
quirements Of its occupants. 1t may be,
however, that the authorities at Wash
ington are of the opinion of our evening
contemporary, that The Shoshone reserva-
ton is in Montana.
