ALABAMA REVENUE COL.
LECTOR.
Appointment of Gen. Mosely to
the Position and How it IS
Received.

The Times Washington cores
pondent writes:
The appointment of Mr.. Mosely,
Jr to be collector of internal reven-
ue for the district of Alabama ter
inmates one Of the warmest contests
that has stirred up the republican
politicians Of that state since the ad-
vent. Of the present administration
Gen. Mosely is the chairman of the
republican state executive committee,
and last spring was candidate for
fourth auditor. When this appoint
ment went elsewhere it was given
out that Gen. Moscly could have
almost any other Office that the treas
ury department could extend to him
provided he would not insist upon an
authorship.
"Gen. Mosely's home is at Talade
ga, Ala, where he was once post
master. There was already candi-
date in the field for internal revenue
collector when Gen. Mosely announc-
ell himself. This candidate was Dan
iel Cooper, Of Hamilton, Ala, a
brother Of Representative Cooper,
member ofcongress from Ohio. Coop
er had 'knapsacked it into Alabama,
having been there with an Ohio regi-
ment during the war, and settling
down at Hamilton after the close of
hostilities.
"Cooper was indorsed by his broth
er, the congressman. and by Repre-
sentatives Mckinley and Grosvenor,
besides having the support of a large
contingent of the republicans of
Alabama. The fact that Mosely was
a reconstruction Confederate and
Cooper was a Union veteran made
the contest unusually interesting.
The district embraces the whole state,
and the patronage has been sufficient
to enlist all the republican politici-
ans in Alabama on one side or the
other"

Count TolstOi's Wife.

Miss Elizabeth D. Hanscom, in an interesting
article, quotes Mr.. Stead (who writes of life at
| Yasnaia POliana, the country estate of the
Russian novelist and theorist, Lyof Tolstoi) as
saying: 1.-THE dreams of the idealist are seldom
capable of translation into the prose of actual
life, especially when the idealist happens to be
married and the father of large family"
Mr.. Stead further affirms that if Count Toll
stoi had been at liberty to fully carry out his
! ideas, there would now be no Count Tolstoi
| All the world knows that he believes in liter
ally obeying the injunction to sell all and give
to the poor, that he believes manual labor to be
u necessary condition of ideal life, and that to
| possess more than the bare essentials of life
seems to him sin. Yet he and his family live
I in luxury on his ancestral estate. What all the
world does not know is that the Countess Toll
stoi Is the reconciling factor in this apparent
| conflict of theory and practice.
Nearly 30 years ago before he developed his
philosophy of life, Count 1olstoi married the
daughter Of Moscow Physician. During all
these years she has shown herself to be a
woman of unusual powers. She directs, con-
trolls, manages everything at the households at
Moscow and at Yasnaia Poliana. She assumes
the whole responsibility of caring for the fam
iy which numbers Is children, superinteuds
their education and teaches them English and
music. Her business ability is also shown by
the fact that she has sole charge of the sale
circulation and distribution of her husbands
books. Nor is she wanting in sympathy for the
Counts intellectual labors. She is both amen
uenss, revisOr ard translator. Tolstois writ
ing is illegible to most readers and his wife re-
writes his manuscripts again and again until
they suit his fastidIous taste. In this way she
copied "War and Peace" from end to end,
six times. and his last work, Life" she re-
wrote l6 times, beside translating it into
French.
When, however, it comes to a question OF
adopting his views entirely she refuses. One
of the country seats has already been sold, the
family has retired from society, the mode of
life has been much simplifed; but the Countess
Tolstoi will not consent to giving up everything,
or to living like peasant. For the sake of her
children. she insists on a comfortable life. By
the law of the land, without the consent of his
wife, the Count cannot resign all the resources
on which the family is maintained. Accord
ingly, he has retired from active participation
in the household arrangements; he is his wife's
guest, coming and going as he chooses, partak- )
ing of the plainest fare, maintaining rigid
simplicity of life, and all the time considering
that his family live in culpable luxury because
they have servants to wash their linen and to
prepare their food.

(After Hood-a long way.)
Twas on the 'one'' tn of the howery month
Death out on a ramble set,
With pack of darts to attack the hearts
Of the living things he met.
A rebel he saw who was claimed by the law
Being sentenced to dire at noon;
Death aiming his dart 1T vital part
Made him dance to { he hangman's tune
Then his bolt was driIwn 'gainst the beast that
John
In Apocalypse beheld;
And he said with a Jest it was all for the best
That the monster had been felled.
But poet mild-'twas the aesthetic Wide
All the darts of death defied.
For he lightly laughed at the erring shaft
As the skeleton aim was wide.
But the chaTer's jibe was useless bribe
10 offer the democrat Death;
With precision deft he the jester laft
In sorrow and rage out of breath.
There was one made more than he was before,
And spared by Death to sing;
For Moore had charm in his song to dis
The wrath of the grizzly king
Then he struck by stealth at millionaire
wealth.
Had its rampant round him rolled
Still he felt the sting of the railroad king;
Nothing was left but his gold.
As he homeward sped he a steed struck dead
Death spares neither man nor brute
And ever since both pauper and prince
Have trodden it under foot.
In the twilight dim for amusement grim,
In his charnel house alone,
As he JOINS the hearts into life there starts
A creature after his own.

Speaking of beggars, the late Edward Ev-

afirms that mendicity in Europe is trade
almost profession. 1t is carried on by orga,

schools; and strange as the proposition sounds,
it yields handsome income.
Mr.. Everett quotes our great American nov
elist, Cooper, as telling an amusing anecdote of
a battalion of beggars, near hundred strong,
which he recruited at Sorrento, in the Kingdom
of Naples, during few weeks sojouTn at that
delightful spot. The operation began by his
giving grano, copper coin worth about a
cent; to abeggar who daily seated himself at

one or two additional pensioners made their
appearance, and received their expected granO.

KING 0DRICKS OATH.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.

I the bear Tpulled horse and rider to the
ground. King Odrick fell down and the
horse came down on his leg, which made
him completely helpless and put him at the
mercy of the infuriated bear, who did not
wait very long to take advantage of his
chance.
But it was not to be. Just at the moment
when the bear sprang toward the young
king to tear his ht ad of, If he could, an
, arrow pierced his heart, and dead as log
he tumbled down at the side of Odrick.
The latter was astonished for a moment, but
in the next minute he was even amazed.
There, few PAGES away from him, stood a
Young girl, as beautiful as he had ever seen
in all his life, holding the bow in her
hand, which had shot the arrow into the
bears heart. Odrick was not able to speak.
He stammered few inaudible remarks of
thanks to the young lady as she came up
and extricated him from his dangerous po-
sition.
"Are you hurt?" she asked him then.
'Yes, have nv led crushed" was all he
could mutter.
The young huntress, who looked verita-
ble Diana, helped the young king on his
feet, and she led him to a cave nearby.
