ANOTHER JIM BLUDsoE


Seldom have the pleasures of the
Christmas holidays been so sadly marred
by disasters of fire as this year. But it
Is a satisfaction to record the fact that at
least one hero has arisen through the
smoke and flame of these awful calami-
ties. This is brave Jim Givens, who was
poor deck-hand on the steamer John
II. Hanna that was burned near Pla-
quemine, on the lower Mississippi, Christ.
mas Day.
The blazing steamer, 1t seems, had
been brought to shore by her regular
pilot who, at the moment she touched
the bank, escaped, but from some cause
she bounded off into the stream, and
then it was that jim Givens saw that
every soul on board must surely perish
unless she was brought back. In
moment lie was at the wheel, having
rushed through the burning walls of the
plot house, and by few turns brought
the head Of the steamer around toward
land, and then locked the wheel tight
and fast
The boat touched shore again and
Giyens sprang through the fiery furnace
once more, falling senseless in the mud.
lie was dragged out more dead than
alive; both eyes burned out and other.
wise terribly injured.
He now lies in New Orleans hospital
with no hope Of recovery. Giyens is
another jim Bludsoe. 1t is but another
illustration of the fact that the truest
heroism may be found amidst the most
humble and lowly surroundings
A NUMBER or Southwestern Democrats
who did not leave Washington for the
holidays are said TO have evolved a
theory that Harrison will invite ex-
Senator Davis of West Virginia into his
Cabinet, Davis becoming q Republican.
The Herald this morning has two
column double'leaded special dispatch
from Albany containing what it terms
'the inside history Of the Chicago con,
vention' and detailing the various fac
uonal iutrigues and quarrels which led
up to the nomination of General Harri
son. The information contained in thu
dispatch, the Herald says, is given by {
gentleman who had good deal to dc
with Harrison's nomination.
This gentleman is emphatic in the
statement that in the selection of tn,
Cabinet the President'elect is pledged tC
none, and that the movement at Chicago
which concentrated the forces tha
brought about the nomination was sucl
as 20 preclude the appointment of eitheI
Blaine. Platt or Wanamaker TO positions

Harrison, the dispatch says, owe
nothing to Senator Quay, and that gen

amounts TO uaught.

Separation Sought.

Mrs. Lizzie Taylor of Bangor, by
Calvin Cross and w. n. Cook, her
solicitors, seeks legal separation from
her husband Harvey +. Taylor, alleg-
ing a. valid reasons therefor that, dur
ing the past three years, the said
Harvey has treated her with extreme
cruelty, by indulging i'm violent sallieS
of passion and in abusive language i'm
the presence of their children, friends
and neighbors, and that without any
cause on provocation; that he has wan
tonly and cruelty refused and neglected
To provide for herself and children, and
that they have been compelled To rely
upon their friends and relatives for
maintenance and support; that he has
repeatedly struck her violent and cruel
blows with his fist, ut the same time
swearing at her and trying to push her
upon the hot stove, and that he has
been guilty of other extreme cruelty
toward her.
She also alleges that her husband is
an unfit person To have the care and
custody of their minor children and
alleges that she fears he will take them
from her unless restrained by order Ot
the court, and prays that an injunction
may be issued restraining him from SO
from so doing.
An injunction was granted pursuant t.
such prayer, and Il subpoena was duly
issued commanding the said Harvey t.
appear and answer To the charges on
file against him.

The Consumption of Peanuts.

an increase of 400, 900 bags over the pre-

ton OF five years ago by more than ,000,-

that represent in money!"
''Well, in round numbers, it means the
consumption of 100 GOO, 900 quarts, and
at the regular price charged by retailers
and vendors, which is ten cents per quart,
IL shows that peanut eaters paid $40, OO0,-

half Of this large sum is clear profit TO
the retailers, as the value of the crop to
the growers is estimated at less than

Gone day man whom l met, said the
Chicago man, chad occasion to go from
his home to the county seat He was a
man of more intelligence than most of his
fellows, but he had never in his life been
away from home before. He had never
seen town. The nearest approach to one
he had seen was the collection of houses
about the store where he sold his truck
and bought his bacon. When he got back
from the county seat asked him what he
thought of what he saw. Well said ne,

Flat Headed indiana.

The custom of fiattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. 1t was done in in
fancy with a hat made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
1t has been so often described by numer-
Gus writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here
have been unable to see any difference
between the intellect of those whose heads
have thus been flattened and those which
are natural. Some of the Indians, how
ever, believe that it has caused numerous
headaches among them in after life. Very
few infants are thus treated now.-Cor.
