Freedom of a Town.

William n Riddle, ex-President OF
the Penn bank of Pttsburg. now bro
ker in this city. is one of the best close
range shots in America, says the New
York lfaH and Express. Ho is pale
and slender. and has only one lung, but
he is as quick as lightning and shoots
on the intuitive sight plan. He once
defeated Buffalo Bill and other crack
marksmen in close range contest
with rifles. About once week he
makes the rounds of the shooting gal
leries in the Bowery, and is moro pop
ular with the crowds that drop in than
anv ward politician. Taking revol-
yer or sixteen-shooting rifle, he rings
each target in succession.
One of Riddles most successful ex-
PLOTS with firearms was when he went
to California last May. After the
train had left Reno. he and Billy Emer-
son, the minstrel. had jolly time. The
train was beginning to slow up at sta
ton when Emerson spied "a chicken
ahead in front of a small house. He
bet Riddle dollar that the latter could
not shoot off the chickens head with
his pistol while the train passed. Rid
die pointed his pistol from the window,
fired. and the fowls head was severed
from its body. Emerson threw a dol
lar TO the astonished negro woman who
saw her chicken keel over as if it had
been gullotined. In California Mr..
Riddle visited mining town, and soon
had the freedom of tho place presented
to him. Many miners, scouts. hunters
and prospectors were at n shooting
match. A friend who accompanied
Mr.. Riddle TO the town said that the
slim man with him would shoot against
any man in the crowd for treat all
round. Instantly four or five cham
pion shots accepted the terms. The
Pennsylvanian hit the bull s-eye nine
out of ten times with rifle, and then,
taking his pistols, lie conferred the
bull's-eye seven consecutive times.
The people went wild over him, and
made him an honorcd guest of the
town.
Last year Riddle took jaunt through
Union county. Pa, and made such a
success as q marksman that the people
wished him to settle among them and
accept some political Office. His skill
came through an illness. For several
years he was in a hospital, suffering
from pulmonary troubles. Too weak
to take any exercise of any kind. he
amused himself by shooting at mark
all day in the rear of the hospital.

The Horses of Norway.

Laing, in his travels in Norway. says
that the horses in that country have a
very sensible way of taking their food.
Instead of swillng themselves with Il
pailful of water at draught, from the
fear of not getting any again, and then
overgorging themselves for the samo
reason, they have bucket of water
put down beside their allowance of hay.
1t IS amusing to see with what relish
they take sip of the one and mouth
full of the other alternately, sometimes
only mostcning their mouths. as a
rational being would do while eating a
dinner of such dry food. A broken.
windcd horse is scarcely ever seen in
Norway.

CHINESE NAM ES.

Some PecuIinrities of Nomenclature
Iians.
The Chinaman s ways are peculiar,
in nothing more than in naming, Ac-
cording to the period of life he is in, so
is the name of n Chinaman. for he does
not start away with II name from the
beginning of his days and continue to
bear il to the end thereof. At first the
child hears the name of his father. but
the distinguishing mark varies accord
to the province. At Pekin, for eX-
ample the children of the same family
are numbered, and describing Chang
they would say "Old Chang" Second
Chang" etc. Thus Changes two sons,
if the oldest be Chang Honest, the Sec
ond would be Chang-Honest-Honest,
and so on.
When the Chinese child goes to
school Gas nearly all Chinese children
do). it ceases to be known by its fam
lily name. being named afresh on its
first appearance before the schoolmas-
ter. Thus second Chang might be
called Quick Runner. Bright Eye or
Twinkling Star, and he is registered b.
the name thus fixed and known by no
other TO his master and school fellows.
When the youth is engaged to be mar
ried fresh name is given him, and
from that time forth his marriage re-
lations designate him by that name
only. Again, when the youth presents
himself at the public examination for
an official post, he enters himself under
name of his own choice, and for all
time to come that continues to be his
official name. The names of Chinese
mandarins. governors and officials gen.
orally that appear in print are not
names bv which these unctionaries are
known in private life-known in their
marriage connections, their own school
fellows, and their kith and kin. When
distinguished Chnaman dies, he is
therefore spoken of and remembered
] by his posthumous name.

MAY REACH $4,000.

While Mr.. House is so unstsnted
in the praise of his educational sys-
TEN in Richland county, we think it
no more than right that tax payers
investigate whether the benefits ac-
crning from it bear out the enor-
nous expenditures which the Office
of county superintendent is impos-
ing on the county under his incum-
bency. For instance, looking over
Mr.. Houses last quarterly report,
which, by the way, includes the Sc
we're winter months, when the visit
ing of schools was seriously inter
rupted by the frequent and severe
storms OF the past winter. the state
ment shows that warrants We're
drawn to the amount OF <;42G. .25,
making for the year a total Of
$1705. 40, but which must be borne
in mind will be increased considera-
bly, when the weather affords more
favorable condition for travel in
visiting the schools. So that the
probabilities are good for its being
increased to $1,000 or $4,000. The
above does not include fees received
from examinations, two thirds Of
which go to the incumbent and the
remainder to an institute fund.
And the question naturally arises:
Does the educational system and
progress made warrant such cXprn-
ditures ? Is making lots of mileage
building up schools !?
