Still a MY stery

L, New YORK. July The mysterious
story relative to Joseph Muir, senior
member of H. Muir & Sons, is still a
mystery. Henry Rich, New York agent
of the firm, was seen on the subject this
morning. and said the matter looked
mysterious, but was susceptible of such
explanation as would soon set it at rest.
The published story, be said, was a
mistake, the telegram referring to
something of no general interest. Muir
had never shown signs of mental weak
ness. Rich avoided direct questions,
saying he would be better aole to speak
On the subject when expected advices
had been received from Philadelphia.

Old Rot.

The debate in the house of Repre-.
sentatives brought out string of old
"chestnuts" that would reach from
Montpelier to Pownal, many of them
so old and decayed that they could
properly be designated as "old rot"
Eldredge of Middlebury was color
bearer for this fossilized brigade.
Among other foolish things that he
said he wanted to know how the adj
vocates of this bill would like to have
their wives chosen listers, and tramp
ing about in the March mud while
they stayed at home and dosed the
baby with soothing syrup? 1t would
be rough on the baby, we admit, to
leave such fellow as Eldredge to
dose it with soothing syrup, for it is
hardly possible that he would know
that article from blue dye. If this
fellow has wife (heaven forbid that
he has), and she ever gets him home,
she should soak his head at least six
months before she allows him to 90
out again among men.

we would make small fortune in few

sickness lasted six months, and because
OF poor food and weakness the baby died.
After that things went on from bad to
worse, until Nellie sickened with the con.
sumption. Then | cursed tho country

my wife went like the baby, and since
she's gone, sir, I'm all broke up,"

KANSAS.

During the probationary period Of
the pivotal territory of Kansas the
squatter sovereigns of the North
backed by the solid South, instigatec
and sustained the border state OF
Missouri in the unhallowed attempt
to kill and starve out the free state
settlers before they could vote against
the purposed crime of making it a
slave state.
The Republicans of the North held
"Kansas aid" meetings, in which SER
vice my time was taken, and while
never soliciting aims for myself, as
kossuth said Of his country, | was
not ashamed for ''poor Kansas" to
beg from door to door. From the
widows mite thus obtained to the
munifcent requests of Gerritt Smith
and old Zach Chandler, of SIS, 900
each, supplemented by Eli Thayer
with saw mills, and by New England
with "school m'ams," we sustained
the free state settlers in their cabins
until they could, and did vote down
the enemy armed with Missouri rifles.
AS we now look back over the
spanned chasm of 80 years, and be-
hold Kansas as the premium state in
the Union, with her more than $4,000
Republican majority, we most devout-
ly return thanks to the giver of all
mercies, that our labors and sacrifices
for our country and for poster ity, have
been crowned with so glorious a con-
summation.-D. E. Nicholson in
Rutland Herald.

The School bill which has passed

The School bill which has passed
the lower branch of the legislature,
and will probably become law, is a
very comprehensive measure. The
duties of the State Superintendent is
somewhat enlarged. The office of
town Superintendent is to he abolish
ed and instead School Supervisors
for each county are to be appointed
by the Governor, with the approval
OF the Senate, each of whom is to
have immediate supervision of the
schools of his county, the condition
OF the school houses and other lesser
details. The qualifications of teach
ers are to be determined by certif-
Gates issued by the Board of Trustees
of Normal Schools and by examina-
tons in questions prepared by State
Superintendent. Women are given
the same right as men to vote in school
meetings and to hold office. Each
town is required to sustain one or
more schools, and when divided into
school districts, school in each dis
trict. Provision is made for graded
schools and for instruction in the
higher branches. Text books are to
be selected by county boards and are
to be supplied to pupils at 10 per
cent. above the publishers price. No
public money can be distributed to
school district which has not MAIN
tanned school for "a weeks, and the
distribution is made in proportion to
the sum raised by the district. The
Dill contains nearly 800 sections.

eooLD SEE HIS sTooP SHOULDERS HEAVE
Here he stopped, and it seemed to me
that he gathered his failing powers to
gether, as If he were about to give ex
preston to great thought. Then he
blurted out:
An she were good woman, sir, an ]
loved her!"
And what have you been doing since
her death?" said l.
"Oh, just knockin' around dom an odd

Because I'd die afore he'd know the
shape I'm in
BY this time we had reached the door
OF one OF those modest and unconven.
tlonal eating houses where the menu is
painted on board and set outside the
door We entered and he sat down at a
table His unexpected good fortune had
paralyzed him, and the prospect of a
square meal had robbed him Of speech.
When the frowsy waiter asked him what
he would have he couldn't reply, but sat
gazing at the waiter dumbly as sheen
might look at its executioners. Then i
ordered for him big dish of vegetable
soup When it was placed before him
with islands of potatoes, carrots and cab,
bage floating in it, the savory steam arose
and dilated his nostrils and wolfsb
glare came into his onion colored ewes
So faclished was he that, there being no
spoon handy, he seized knife and
plunged it into the mess, and willie he
ate there seemed to be lump in his
throat which prevented his swallowing.
While he was busy with this dish | or
dered big plate of roast beef and the
waiter brought two cuts which looked as
II they had been taken from the forehead
OF the critter. This was flanked by a
dish OF mealy potatoes, bursting their
brown jackets, and bowl of coffee al.
mosr big enough to take bath in.
AS Misery gazed upon this feast, which
IN his estimation was plenty good enough
for the gods who sat upon Mount tOlym-
pus, his eyes filled again and this time the
tears fell. When l asked for the bill the
proprietor handed me check for the mu.
nificent sum of 20 cents, which | discoy.
cred was scheduled rates.
We'll old fellow, must 60" said l.
after settling the bill, as l reached out
my hand for aparting shake He reached
out grimy fist, and when it left mine
there was silver quarter in his palm.
He was just about paying his respects to
the roast beef, but this princely gift
choked him up SO that he laid his head
upon the arm of the once blue blouse. l
could see his stoop shoulders heave, and,
although there was no sound there were
plenty of signs of an internal commotion.
On Thanksgiving day, a year later, |
was seated at table in Fourteenth |
street restaurant. Opposite to me, at the
same table, sat a respectable looking man
81 about 40 years. He wore neat suit
Of cashmere and was clean and wholesome
IN appearance. l noticed during the
course of the meal that he watched me
very closely, and just as rose to leave
'he restaurant he touched me on the
shoulder and said:
Excuse me, sir, but didn't have the
