-Four out of FIVE of the Democrats on
the Pan Electric Telephone Investigation
Committee submit report that completely
exonerates Mr.. Garland and all concerned.
One Democrat files a separate report, be-
cause he is not willing to admit that trad
ing upon official names is ever justified,
but after most exhaustive review Of the
case, he, too, acquits the defendant proper,
of wrongful intent. The four Republicans
of the committee condemn Mr.. Garland,
and find him to have permitted COM
mereial speculative company to trade upon
his official title and position. The investi-
CATION was at least exhaustive. On that
score there is no ground for complaint
whatever. All the facts are before the
people in 1,200pages Of printed testimony,
and no belief remains that any conceal
ments were made The dispatches advise
that the resignation Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral is in the hands Of the President, and
that it is not unlikely that it will be ac-
eepted. But Mr., Garland is out with the
declaration that his possible retiracy has
no relation to or connection with the late
investigation, concerning which matter the
people viii prefer to judge for themselves.
Put it as they may, General Garland's
friends will be driven to admit that the
investigation has not left him in wholly an
enviable light. 1t has failed to show, on
the basis Of the majority report, any specific
and intentional wrong doing on his part,
that should expose him to the execra-
ton of men; but it mas developed that his
name and position were used to boost into
prominence a speculative scheme that sadly
needed some such props, and that the in
terests of rival scheme of inventive
genius was exposed to unusual risk by the
action of the Department of Justice, while
its head was interested in the opposing
speculation, and thus an implication j;
raised rejecting upon that officer.

THE ERA OF THE URN-When LeMoyne's
furnace at Washington, in this State, was
used in December, 1876, to burn up the
body of Baron Palm. the novelty of the
proceeding caused great CONSERVATION and
not little excitement, and many man
threw up his hands in horror at the thought
of such barbarous and shocking cere-
mony. But since that time so frequently
has the operation been repeated at Wash
ington and at other furnaces which have
been set up in various parts Of the United
States, that the public mind has become
familiar with the idea, and converts are
made to it every day The time is gradu-
ally coming when the Funeral Directors
as the undertakers are now calling them
selves, will have to give their attention to
the construction of furnaces and urns
rather than to collins and grayes.-PhlG-

All through these vetoes there seems to run
the fallacy that the power OF Congress TO grant

done by the Pension Office under the general
law 1t is difficult to write in that rudimentary
way upon the nature of pensions and the
various grounds of compensation, charity and
public policy which is necessary in order to re-

being could not descend, under full
power of gravitation, hundreds of feet,
and amid broken rocks, without caus-
ing instant death. The red hermit di-
vined my thoughts and he said:
II have told you that the lovers
planned to deceive the Dakotas, and
they did. Winona secreted a long,
rawhide rope under her shawl and
dropped it where her lover was secreted
without stopping to speak, as had been
planned. When darkness came Little
Coon went to the top of the bluff and
making a moose on one end of the long
rope, he laid the circle at the edge OF
the rock, put the thong around pro-
jecting point of stone, and lowered the
end to the earth below, and then went
down to await the coming of Winona.
when he heard the death song from
the young squaw's lips, he grasped tho
rope firmly. Winona wound her shawl
around her breast and then put the moose
around her body under her arms, and
was ready for the leap. A wild cry
rang out and Little Coon, who was a
very stout young brave, held tightly
and let the little squaw down.
cat the same time he pushed with
his foot large, round stone from its
resting place, and it went splashing in
to the waters of Lake Pepin. AS soon
as Winona touched the earth she and
her Chippewa lover ran to the water
where the canoe of Little Coon was
lying, and they padded away. The
long rope was taken with them. They
swept quickly up the smooth surface
of the pretty Pepin, and when the light
came they were hidden in a thicket
where Little Coon had left some food.
"When the sun went down again
they hurried away from the big river
to the east and when light came they
hid again. After long journey they
came to another river and when this
was crossed they were in Canada
Here they lived with new names and
became friends of the whites and no
| one knew the trnth. The Dakotas
knew Winona was dead and the Chip
pewas thought Little Coon killed at the
hands of the enemies. I have heard
the story many times.
''And did they never return to the
MississippiP' I asked.
mo, they never went back to their
people and their people never knew
they lived. p"
'Where did Winona dwellp"
''The pretty squaw and Little Coon
lived eighty years together in this grand
forest. They led the free life of the
red man, and but a little time ago Wi
mona died, leaving her old and feeble
companion alone. She died in this very
lodge, and is buried beneath the pines. :"

A Remarkable Bird.

A well-known centenarian has just
died in Paris. His name was Lenoir,
and he was one hundred and three years
old. Lenoir was a parrot. He was
born in the reign of Louis Seize, and
never quilted the house where be first
saw the light, having been handed down
by will to the different owners of the
house. Lenoir was capital talker, and
knew number of phrases, which he
often brought out nal a propos. Since
the reign of Charles x. there was a
good deal of difficulty in getting the
bird to learn any thing new. However,
servant with Radical sympathies
taught him in few weeks to say; "Vive
Gambettap This he occasionally varied
with "A bas Robespierre!' which he
had been accustomed to say during the
Reign of Terror. The last words of
this remarkable bird were, it appears;

Some of Their Strangely Interesting and

Now that oysters are off-that is,
away on a vacation-some instances of
the peculiarities of the insects may be
proper to relate.
1t is a fact that they are lazy and
shell-fsh. They make their beds
where the pure waters will lave them,
and never leave these till forcibly
assisted therefrom.
AS they are apt to grow more she'll
fish while doing in their beds, so they
become quite grabbed, and acquire a
crusty nature.
When taken from their seaside
resorts, among associations of refined
gentlemen and delicate ladies they
exhibit a propensity to get into broils
and stews, which causes these persons
to run them down severely.
The shuckers are foes to the peace
of the oysters. After a tussle with
these the bivalves frequently find
themselves in pickle. 1t is war to
the knife between them. Individual
and family ties are ruthlessly sundered.

VERMONT SPRUCE-GUM.
A Chat With the Most Prominent Dealer
in This Commodity.


Ten miles from Bennington, Vt,
lives Lou Bishop who is something of a
celebrity in that neighborhood. He is
a spruce-gum merchant and talked as
follows of his business to correspond
emit:
II gathered 600 pounds of spruce
gum last season. I've been in the
business thirty years and have sold
good many tons of gum in that time.
I've pretty near sold out my supply
this season already, and haven't morn
1000 barrels Left.
80, the barrels ant big ones" he
explained, when some surprise was ex-
pressed that he should have 1000
barrels left out of total stock of only
500 pounds. ''The barrels run about
six to the pound, and l sell 'em at six
for dollar. The storekeepers sell
'em for 35 cents apiece. Then there's
another size that retails at 25 cents,
but most of 'em are six for q dollar" !"
Some sample barrels were shown,
and they proved to be small in size and
made upon lathe, each out of a single
piece of wood.
The spruce-gum farmer pointed with
pride to the vehicle which bears him
upon his business journeys over the
Country, for he is his own travelling
salesman. 1t is a two-wheeled affair
which years ago saw its best days. A
box-seat mounted upon heavy springs
was amply filled when its owner was on
the road, and the bulk of his travelling
stock in trade was contained in large
old-fashioned valise carried in suspen-
sion below the axle of the vehicle.
When on extended journeys Mr..
Bishops son forwards re-enforcements
of barreled gum to his father by rail.
Il sell gum all through this country
and down in Massachusetts, said the
gum-picker. "My best customers are
the dealers in the factory towns. Fac
tory girls are mighty fond of gum,
Judging from the demand in those
places. 1t kinder keeps their jaws busy
when they are to work, and can't talk
among themselves.
There's only one kind o spruce
gum, though they advertise medicine
made from red spruce gum, just as if
there were blue gum or any other color.
There's no use talkin', spruce gum is
good for the stomach, an I advise
everybody to chew it. 1t don't need
any preparing, only just scraping the
bits of bark of, an then it s ready to be
sold and chewed. Spruce trees is get

A Siamese Kings Amusing Story About
One of His Pets.
The Siamese, says Forbin, obtain
considerable service from their ele-
plants. They use them almost as do
mestics, and especially for taking care
of children. They take them up with
their trunks and put them to bed and
rock them to sleep, and when mamma
wants them she has only to order the
elephant to go and bring them to her.
Numerous instances which testify tc
their intelligence and docility are well
known. Can anyone believe this. which
Siamese King reported of one on
which he was mounted? asks Victor
Meunier in his thrilling "Great Hunts. y
s'This elephant had not long since q
groom who half famished him by de-
priving him of a portion of the food al
lotted to him. The animal had no other
means of complaining but by his cries.
and made such horrible noise that he
could be heard all through the palace.
Not being able to divine the cause of
his crying so loudly, but suspecting
the real fact, gave him another
groom, who being more faithful and
having given him, without wrong, his
full measure of rice, tine elephant
divided it into two parts with his trunk,
and when he had eaten one-half he set
up his cry again, indicating thereby to
all who ran to see what was the matter
the infidelity of the first groom, who ac-
knowledged his crime, for which |
caused him to be severely chastised. -

A MONSTER VESSEL.
Design of q Steamship Which is to Cross
the Atlantic In Eighty Hours.

Design of q Steamship Which is to Cross
the Atlantic in Eighty Hours.
And now comes Prof. R. Fl. Thurston
with a paper suggesting that ship
can be built that will cross the Atlantic
Ocean in little less than three and a
half days. the average speed of the new
ship being forty-seven miles per hour.
The leviathan suggested by Prof.
Thurston as the ship to cross in eighty
hours, he makes 800 feet long, so feet
beam, of 25 feet draught and $4,000
tons burden. To make the speed of
the Oregon, such . vessel, under rule
of naval architecture, would require
35. 900 horse power, as against $4,000
in the smaller steamer. The law is
that to double that speed, or raise it to
40 knots, eight times the power needed
for 20 knots would be required; but in
asmuch as the law of resistance becomes
much more favorable at these higher
rates of speed, Prof Thurston fixes the
limit of the probable power required at
100000 horse power.
The weight of the steam machinery
for the new ship he estimates at 1909
tons, or the total tonnage of the Oregon,
and the consumption of coal at IT'S tons
an hour, 5000 tons a day, or 10,500
for the voyage. The weight of fuel
and machinery would therefore be
$4,000 tons. Allow $4,000 tons, or,
according to the present construction,
about one-third of the total displace-
ment, for the weight of the hull, and
5000 tons would be left for passengers,
crew and cargo.-Goodaps San.
