To the Editor of the Eagle:

! To the Editor OF the EaSie:
The coroner question, over which the
Beacon has been stopping over so much
gush and would have the people believe
that | was holding on with death grip,
has been settled. / did not want the office,
! neither did | ever claim it. The question
was question of law, whether | could
! legally turn over the office to one who was
! not legally qualified to receive it. The
question with me was not so much as to
whether he was legally qualified to hold it.
as to whether | could legally turn it over
to him, when the constitution of the state
says: "Any person who has voluntarily
borne arms against the government of the
United States is debarred from holding
office in this state without first having his
disabilities removed by the legislature. "
Being satisfied in the matter | at
once decided to give him the keys to
the Office, and would have done so last
"Wednesday evening had | seen him
before | saw him on Thursday morning |
saw the uncalled for article in the Beacon.
which mad me mad, unfortunately / met
Mr.. Percy soon after when | told him if he
got the Office he would have to get it by
law, when he left and | have not seen him
since. Thinking better of it in few
hours l sought Mr.. Percy failing to find
him, and learning that Messrs. Carlisle.
Cook * Carlisle were his attorneys | at
once turned the keaS of the office over to
Mr.. Carlisle, and did so cheerfully As
stated before there has been no occasion
for any loud tolk as Mr.. Percy was out
only two days and there has not been a
thing TO do in the office during that time,
had there been the matter would have
been settled very quickly, hence | fail to
see wherein any one is or has been dam

The church has been greatly quickened,
backsliders have been reclaimed, and
many have entered into the experience of
Thus far the congregations have not been
as we either desired or expected. No doubt
the intense cold has had something to do
with this, but indifference to great sub
iect has had more to do with it, However,
the interest is increasing, and no doubt
the house will soon overflow with curious
and anxious hearers. Rev Wilson is a
forcible and instructive preacher He is
intensely earnest, keen analyzer of hu-
man motives, and a fearless exponent of
the most practical and searching truths
Like the old prophets, he comes to the peo-
pie with burden" and is in agony of soul

benefited by his preaching, but the un-
converted are especially invited to come
out and hear this wonderful man and be
convin ced that he is teacher sent OF God.

Bad for the Blondes.

DIR. Beddoe is responsible for state
ment which is at once novel anu sur
prisinr. He declares that the chances
of dark women obtaining husbands are
to those of fair women in the proportion
of three to two; and that this conclusion
is proved by statistics, Certainly TINS
is in opposition to the general Idea up
on the subject. For every dark nero
Inc of q novel there are twenty lalr
ones; while, although a few poets may
have sung the praises OF dark beauties
those who have celebrated tho charms
OF fair ones are vastly more numerous
Among the lower classes of English, in
deed, there is n general prejudice
against dark-haired women, 1t being a
fixed idea that they possess infinitely
worse tempers than fair women. were
DR.. Beddoe's theory correct that three
brunettes marry to every two blondes,
1t weuld certainly be found that almost
every Unmarried lady past the age oil
thirty belong to the latter category,
which is certainly not the case. AT the
same time the fact that the hair OF the
people of this island is becoming dis
tinctly darker than il was is one that
can not be denied. Persons who can
look back half a century will be ready
to admit the change inthis respect. For
every red-haired person to be c now
ten would have been met with fifty
years back; and if the change continues
at the same rate in another half century
r%cd-haired people will have become so
uncommon that a red-h0ired lady will
be n of the most attractive figures in
a country show. From what cause this
we are unable to say; but We a
not think that DR.. Beddoe's theory that
three men out of every five prefer dark
to fair is a correct onc.-Lon-
don Standard.
