A gentleman by the name of Expert

Though his charges are exorbitant. he
never lacks an audience.
The editor returns thanks to Mr.,
Tom Burton for three celluloid collars.
We are now Offering two of them in
exchange for an article to wear with
the odd one.
There has been no railroad wreck
within the last half hour, but the town
is full of life insurance drummers, and
there is no telling what the morrow

We hope hal the commencement
agony is at an end now, We think we
witnessed the last one Monday night.
The old man commenced on him in the
parlor, and the closing exercises were
held at the front gate.
AS we drew a chair up to the table
and sat down to enjoy our humble
meal yesterday it went to pieces with
us and we were precipitated to the
floor. Straightway the landlord raised
the board on US. remarking that the
fare was 10 fattening for the money.

whispered:

Miss ANIMAL"
His eyes apologized amply for this
inquiry, and | went in search of the
men and their charge.
They followed me eagerly, and we
unconsciously fell into q procession
and moved through the door with
"Miss Anna" in our midst. 1t must
have been a strange sight, a half
dozen men and a goat marching sol
emily up the aisle of the rude cabin,
but to the credit of human nature, be
it said, nobody laughed II seemed to
observe the humorous side of the
situation.
Miss ANIMAL"
The voice broke like a sob across
the stiffness, and the faithful friend
pressed close to her masters side.
The strong men who had faced death
so unfinchingly all day quivered and
shrank before this new phrase. Orp-
hee looked l~ongingly into the dying
face as the white lips murmured OF
bygone days, of baby hands and ten
der, wifely kisses.
"AIiss Anna" the voice began
again, weakly, 'Fthe boys all know
and love her." and then suddenly rec
ollecting, he turned his eyes on the
manly bearded face around him, and
noted theirmOist eyes, then with the
old frank smile of appreciation he
muttered: dying tonight, dying
tonight. Sing it, Orphee."
The river rushed and sang, the
wind sighed airiIy through the Or
rowful pines, but distinct and clear
rose the voice of Orphee, that sweet
high tenor, thrilling with tears and
pathos. 1t quivered and fell as it
reached the chorus, and the "dying
tonight" was sObbed out on his
knees as he held the poor, cold hands
close to his breast. The wounded
men turned on the rough floor, the
surgeons desisted from their work,
and one little fellow, his breast shot
to pieces, crossed himself involunta-
rily, stirred by the sorrOWful sweet
ness.
Again Parsons spoke:
"Be good, boys, to Miss Anna
No better, truer sweetheart could
you find. Say with me now, God
bless Miss Anna"
And we said it with him.
"Amen," he answered solemnly,
and with a spasm of pain he was ly-
ing there quite still, smiling tenderly
as of old, with 'Miss Anna" close to
his breast.
"And Miss Anna?'" asked the host.
"Was shot down the next morning
inthe first charge"
There was silence for a few minutes.
and then Harrison raised his glass
and looked wistfully around. In an
instant the glasses were refilled, and
with reverently bowed heads and
hushed tones the whole room drank
to the memory OF "Miss Anna."-

put the ship two hundred miles off her right

THEY YIELD TO THE LAITY AND PROMISE TO INVITE
THE CoLoREp BRETHREN TO GO.


Charleston, s. c., May (Special.-The Bishop and
most Of the clerical delegates tho recent Diocesan
Convention have returned, but like the sccedcrs they
are reticent The Bishop Is reported as saying that
the whole matter Will have 60 before the General
Convention, which meets in 1890 There are no pros
poets Of a settlement here. The clergy have
dered TO the extent Of consenting to a separation Of
the races in the church organization but the colorcd
churches will not consent. Hence there arise addi
tional complications. In an address to the laity the
Bishop said
In this contest the privileges order which
has been so bitterly waged for long time have good
reason to believe that you have real objection
privilege claimed, but that the Of stubborn
opposition Is that consequence Of the exercise Of
this privilege persons Of color admitted to seats
our convention. Now matter Of fact agree with
you perfectly that the association OF OF
legislation is very Objectionable and to be avoided posi-
bic and therefore, while insisting clerical privilege
we Will DO all in TO obviate this consequence
OF 1t TO which you srenuously object and which
selves depore We believe that the colored churchmen
themselves concur in this view and while we cannot
compel them TO form separate organization, will In
vite them to do So and believe they viii comply.

OVER $4,000 MISSING.
THE AMERICAN EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK
ROBBED.
4 PACKAGE OF NOTES SENT TO THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT FOR REDEMPTION TURNS
OUT TO BE BUNDLE OF

BROWN PAPER.
Washington, May ga discovery was made as
the Treasury Department to-day which 1t Is
thought points to a defalcation at the American
Exchange National Bank Of New-York. The ex-
press company in making its usual deliveries OF
National bank notes forwarded for redemption,
submitted package from the bank named. 1t
bore the usual label and seals and porported to
contain $4,000.
In handling it, however, one OF the Treasury
experts found that it was not altogether right
and it was temporarily laid aside. Packages con-
tanning notes for redemption are usually made up
in the most compact manner bet this particular
one while of the right size for the amount it pups
ported to contain, did not seem to be closely
packed and yielded readily to hand pressrre 1t
was subsequently opened in the presence OF ofii-
GERS Of the express company and found to contain
nothing but brown paper.
An examination Of the scaled label also dis
closed the fact that it had been neatly cut from
its original place and pasted on the bogus pack
age. The Treasurer refused to receive the pack
age, and ifeormed the bank accordingly. The
impression at the Department is that the bank put
up the money for transmission to the Department,
but delayed forwarding it, and that while in ita
custody the package was distracted and another
put in its place bearing all the marks and ap-
pearance of the original package
