A Chez rful Exile.

Among the many monarchs who have re.
tired from business, not the least interesting
is Ham Nghi, ex-king OF AMMAN, who is now
In exile in Algeria. He has been. visited by
correspondent of the Journal des Debats
who says that the king, who is only l9, is
little thin fellow OF great strength and activ.
ity, and in tho enjoyment OF the rudest health.
He lives in villa just outside Algiers, and his
establishment consists Of housekeeper, an
Interpreter, cook and IN Annamite "boy."
The monarch is an enthusiastic walker and
smoker, but he also spends much of his time
i'll writing and reading Chinese booke.
He is fond, too. of chess. His Interpreter
is OF his own age, and was educated at the
Jesuit college, at Saigon. His cock, who,
like the interpreter, is Roman Catholic. was
once chef to the Annamite governor, Chomp-'
ton. His boy" is an old COLDER who was
for fourteen years in the French service, and
who wears the Tonguin medal.
Ham Nghi is only permitted to receive visi-
tors who obtain written authority from the
governor-general, and all his correspondence
is officially supervised. The result is that
he knows absolutely nothing of what has
occurred at Hue since his extirpation. He
does not even know OF his mothers death,
or OF the disease OF his brother and success
sor, Dong Kanh.
Tho French government does not profess
to believe that he was ever a responsible
ruler. He was. of course, only tool in the
hands of the rebels and of the ex-regent,
Cnuyet; and it is quito possible that some
day, when he shall be sufficiently Frenchi-
fed, Ham Nghi will be restored to the throne
OF AMMAN. there to become firm and
friendly supporter OF French policy in the
far east. In this respect, therefore, his
prospects are more cheerful than those Of
certain other kings in exile.-London Globe.

The Sagacity OF Oxen.

Oxen do not in an ordinary way give one
the impression OF possessing any great de-
gree of intelligence, but my correspondent
"Ex.Colonist" tells me that In one respect, at
least, the trek oxen, SO largely employed at
the cape as substitute for horses, have the
inestimable advantage over tho latter OF not
requiring to be hobbled when turned loose at
night for grazing; and that II, as is some.

to the distance OF a mile or moro, their
drivers can easily recall them tho next morn

simple expedient OF few good sounding
cracks OF their enormous stock whips
"Havng regard" my correspondent adds,
"to tho trouble I have before now experi-
enced in capturing a thoroughly wideawake
pony who is allowed to be out at grass during
the summer, and is only taken up when no is
wanted TO do short journey to the station
or elsewhere, I have often earnestly desired
that his intelligence was equal to that OF
trek OK" My correspondent seems toignors
the fact that the pony is probably by far the
cutest OF the two. He thinks it out, l take

shame, hold her and moved her by turns.
The words she had heard were burnt into her
brain as by a brand of fire. They tortured
her increasingly, even though with her mem
ory came back the knowledge that after all
she had won the lover she had long deemed
faithess; he had been true, and yet they were
utterly parted-utterly lost to each other
now.
She was white, and sick with horror, as
she remembered her sisters words. That he
had been the victim OF an outrage so cruel,
wrong so great, almost turned her long-suf-
fering love to hatred. Nita had done it--no
other-and all for purpose so base-a re-
venge so unspeakably mean and despicable.
She wandered on, neither caring nor know
ing whittier she went, in her blindness and
misery. A little child stumbled against her
in narrow street, and looked up half af-
frighted at the white face and wide blank
eyes, that seemed as II they had no sight or
knowledge of aught around. There is no
one in the house, yonder," he said. II am

ways for some one who never comes"
She stopped and looked at him, not half
comprehending his words, and yet moved by
the entreaty that spoke in his accents.
"Where is it?' she asked.
He pointed to a street opposite; it was mar
row, dark, dreary-looking; but she had no
fear or suspicion, and simply took his hand
and went with him in silence. He talked on

Coains on the Hap.b args.

A very curious custom OF the Vienna Hot
burg was brought before the public by the
death OF Grown Prince Rudolph. On the day
after his death a large undertaken at Vienna
received the order for an oak coffin, TO be do.
iivercd on the same day. The man asked for
IA little moro time, but the order was that the
coffin must bs delivered tho same day, other
wise it would be Of no use What was the
reason for this haste? The crown prince lay
already in his CONN, and no one had died at
the Hoiburg.
Presently, however, the reason was given
that it is the custom to have always coffin
ready at the imperial palace. When the
terrible news from Meysrling came to Vienna
the oak coffin which had been in readiness
ever since the death OF Archduke Franz Karl
the father OF tho present emperor, was sent
TO MeyerRng to receive the remains OF the
dead man and, according to tradition, the
imperial house must not be without it's
empty coffin for twenty-four hours. in order
that the inhabitants of the Hofburg may have
always an opportunity of comparing the vast
halls, which are now their dwelling place,
with the narrow bed which will be their last
resting place.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Terrible Tale or the Sea

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. 21.-The seven
survivors of the steamer Earmnoor, which
foundered at sea when 300 miles off Turks
Island, arrived in this city to-day. They
tell terrible tale of suffering. The Earn
moor struck IA terrible gale on September 4,
which increased in force, and at ll:30 A. NJ.
on the following day the vessel gave lurch
and foundered.
As the steamer sank the port life boat
fioated off from the ship. The second Off
Ger, second and third engineers, four sailors
three fremen and the cook clung to the
boat and scrambled in. An effort was
made to save the rest OF the crew and a
drag was made of the painter, but the boat
was blown away and the oars wrested from
the hands Of the men, so that 10 more could
be saved.
The cries of the DIR owning men as they
were dashed about by the mountainous
waves conld be heard by the men in the
boat The boat drifted into the Gulf Stream
and the air was warm, but this increased
the intensity of their thirst.
"The horrors of hunger on the second
day became awful" said Carl Crane of the
survivors to day, ''and il increased az time
wore on. We managed to pick up seaweed
which gave us little nutriment, and on the
third day a flying fish was caught. This

Butler county is RepuoHCan W "e 49,

ESQ. our candidate for District Attorney
is a young man of ability and integrity anC
worthy of the support of every Republican
in the county. Raised on farm in Worth
Twp. he, by his own energy and persever
ance. obtained good education and now
occupies an honorable position on the rol
of attorneys of the Butler Bar.
The Democracy hope to capture this i'm
portant office-not by their own votes, FOL
they are in the minority-but through
over-confidence on the part of the Repub'
licans.
Republicans of Butler county, will you
by staying away from the polls permit tb'
Democrats to capture this important office
Let your answer on the 5th of November
by your presence at the polls and your bal
lot-be an emphatic No.
The Democratic politicians of Butler are
doing everything in the power to eiec'
their nominee. not that they care for hin
personally. but because his election would
give them greater hopes Tor next year, "heH
the Court House is to be filed. They have
already. virtually, nominated some OF their
candidates, and in order to make sure that
they would stay nominated, did, at the
late meeting of their County Committee,
and without the knowledge or consent OF
their party, change their method of making
nominations from the popular vote to the
delegate system. They are said to be
using money in this campaign, and to be
trying to buy Republicans to work for them
on election day.
Mr.. Moore has neither the money to
spend in such business. nor inclination to
do SO if he had the money. He is an hon
orable man, secured his nomination fairly,
and should receive the hearty support OF
the party next Tuesday, week.

The New Pension Commissioner

President Harrison has profited by the
long delay in selecting pension commits
sioner to place in this important post a
man of the first ability and the widest ex-
perience.
General Green Il. Raum served in the
war and enjoyed an enviable record. He
was conspicuous as member Of Congress.
He is familiar with all the political pitfalls
which beset official service in Washington
at the head OF a bureau. AS commissioner
of internal revenue be handled for years a
revenue as large as the largest annual ex-
pcnditure Of the Pension Bureau. He was
called on TO select, manage and maintain
in efficient action large force Ofcollectors
scattered over the country and erposed m
constant temptation 70 neglect The inter
esis Of the Government. Lastly, the com
missioner Of internal revenue, while an
executive officer, is required to decide q
large number Of semi judicial issues in the
Interpretation of mixed questions OF law
and facts presented in the working of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
This experience covers duties closely
similar to those Of the commissioner OF
pensions and gives Mr.. Raum an unusual
preparation for a difficult post. The Pen
sion Bureau has doubled its outgo in the
past ten years and increased the number
of cases demanding attention in the same
proportion without alteration in its meth
ods OF improvement in its machinery Mr..
Raum's experience and ability ought to
enable him to prepare and execute a plan
for the reorganization of the present sys
tenn which will do justice to the soldier
without despoiling the Treasury -Phila
