The Latest About kissing.

PIttsburg Dispatch.
Men have often remarked on the fer
tility of woman's mind. Psychologists
declare she never reasons, but as an in
stinctive creature she often reaches a
correct conclusion much quicker than a
man. If they lack the intricate process
of tatioSeinati0n they have the happy
faculty of walking straight through
mental difficulties like somnambulist
in sleep.
The fellows who discuss is Wharfage

have wondered lately how women reach
their cute noses with a handkerchief
since the advent of the new-fahgIed
veil. 1t covers the greater part of the
face, ard IS as ornamental possibly as
protective.
Two women yelled alike met yester-
day. 1t was evident they hadn't seen
each other for some time, and they
rushed together in warm embrace.
The inevitable kiss came next. Both
essayed the attempt, but the wells rem

one of the ladies turned the side of her
face to her companion, and the latter

below the ear. This was satisfactory,
nd then followed the usual storm of
quick womanly calculations.

wish the ladies would all stop it,"

CIVIL SERVICE SLAMS.

Secretary NOBLE is a reformer on
paper only. His recent order, suspend
ing removals in his department until
he was first satisfied that good cause ex-
listed for the removal, won for him the
most generous applause from all over
the country. But scarcely had the ink
been dried on the order to which the
secretary had affixed his signature until
he was around among his subordinates,
telling them to 60 ahead with the guillo-
tine operation and whack off the head
of every Democrat in the department.
He gave them the tip that his order was
intended exclusively for public effect,
and not to repress the extreme partisan
ship which had been manifested by
Corporal TANNER and others whom he
had appointed to the head of the various
bureaus in the interior department.

AN UNLUCkY VALENTINE.
A Father Who Did Not Speak to
His Daughter for Fifty Years.

A Father Who Did Not Speak to
His Daughter for Fifty Years.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Fifty years ago James Martin, we'll
TODD farmer living near Ballietyille,
refused to purchase his fifteen-year-old
daughter a dress that she very much
coveted, on the plea that he could not
afford it. 1t was few days before ST.
Valentines day. The daughter was a
quick-tempered girl and took her
fathers refusal to purchase the dress
much to heart. On st. Valentines day
Farmer Martin took from the village
.postoffice valentine addressed to him
III his daughters handwriting. 1t was
a rough caricature, representing a
money. There lived in the neigh Dor
hood a man of that kind. He had a.
niece whom he treated brutally. When
Farmer Martin looked at his valentine
he showed it to his wife, simply re-
marking that he had not expected such
bitter and uncalled-for insult from
their child.
Mr.: Martin took the girl to task about
1t. The daughter at once declared that
she had not sent the valentine to her
father, but on the contrary, had mailed
MIN very complimentary one entitled
The Honest Farmer" it having been
her custom ever since she was a little
child to send him valentine every
year. The old miser's niece had OBJ
tanned the valentine Farmer Martin re-
celved to send to her uncle. Farmer
Martins daughter was with h when
she bought it. The two girls had sealed
their valentines at the same time, and
the Martin girl took them both and adj
dressed them. In doing so she got them
mixed and sent the miser's valentine to
her father.
In spite of all explanation, Farmer
Martin could not be brought to believe
his daughters story. From that day he
never spoke TO her. She married and
lived on a farm adjoining her fathers.
With her husband and her children
Farmer Martin was on the kindest and
most familiar terms, but he never mo-
tlced his daughter. Last week he died.
He left an estate valned at $4,000. To
his aged widow he left $500 To his
sOn-ln-law he bequeathed the remainder
of the estate, provided he survived his
wife, the farmers daughter. If the son-
in-law died first then the $4,000 was to
be divided among his three children.
To his daughter Farmer Martin be-
queathed "a package to be found in his
trunk, tied with green ribbon and
sealed with green wax When this
was opened it was found to be the I'M
fortunate valentine that had caused the
extraordinary enStrangement of the
farmer and his daughter fifty years
ago.

GOV. oRDwAY's RETURN.

A ghost at banquet could not be
more unwelcOme than Gov. ORDwAY'S
return is to some of the senatorial aspi-
rants up in North Dakota and all the
more so because his heroic services in
securing the admission of North Da-
kota on an equality with the other ter
ritories are likely to be recognized by
the good people of that embryonic state.
The governor stopped over in st. Paul
yesterday, on his way from Washington
to Bismarck, long enough to tell the
GLOBE that he still has his washing
done in North Dakota-which, accord
ing to all American traditions, fixes a
mans residence-and that his temporary
exile was a self-imposed martyrdom in
the interest of Dakota statehood. Hav-
ing borne the cross, he is now going back
to wear the crown.
The ex-governor furthermore informs
us that the glamor of official life has
lost its charm for him, and that his
highest ambition now is to aid in giving
North Dakhta good state government,
such an one as will commend it to the
favorable notice Of the outside world,
capital and population to the new state.
His ideas in this respect are eminentIy
correct, and we are gratified that his in
t1uence is to be eXerted in behalf of
such a pralseworthy object. AS the
governor suggests, it is not the work of
framing resolutions for ward caucus
or platform for political party that
nQQnla nf ttGl tyun no in,
hand. 1t is more serious business, no
less than framing constitutions for two
great states, which have within them
selves all the elements of empire, and
of starting them on their career of state
hood in a way that will give assurance
that they are the products of high
civilization.
at the same time we caution the SEN
atorial aspirants up in North Dakota to
sleep with one eye open. and to keep
that eye on Gov. ORDwAY. We do not
question his sincerity in saying that
official life has no attraction for him,
but we have suspicion that the people
OF North Dakota will need the services
of a broad-gauged. enterprising man
like Gov. ORDwAY to be one of the first
representatives of their state; and it
seldom happens that when a senator
ship is thrust upon man he de-
clines it. Atall events, Gov. o RDwAY's
return to his Bismarck home just at
this time will prodnce a cOmmotion in
the political camp, and will probably
lead to reformation of political lives
and the creation of new combinations.
Time will develop how near we have
guessed the truth.

A STRANGE AFRICAN STORY.
How the Discovery of New River
Was Coupled With an Unusual
TRAGEDY

Was Coupled With an Unus
Tragedy.
New York Sun.
The report from Africa that Lieut..
Clerc, of the French navy, has been the
first to visit the head-waters of the Cas-
SIM river, calls to mind one of the
strangest stories of African explo-
ration ever written. In 1855 the
French merchants in Senegambia be-
came aware that the coast towns were
being flooded with spurious 5-franc sill
yer coins bearing the effigy of Louis
Philippe. 1t could not be found that
these coins came from Europe, and it
was soon evident that they originated
somewhere down the coast. Finally
some natives were found who said they
received the coins in exchange for ivory
from two white men who had trading
post on the Cassini river. Nobody had
ever heard of the Cassini river, and
Lieut.. WALTON, now an admiral in the
French navy, was sent with a small eX-
petition to find the mysterious stream
which was reputed to be the source of
the counterfeit silver.
The party coasted for 200 miles south.
entering many an inlet on the way. and
at last they came to that complicated
system of water ways known as the
Rivers of the South. One of these rivers
the natives called the Cassini. and the
travellers at once assembled it. Not many
miles from the mouth they saw some
large huts, and two white men pres
emily appeared to see who was ap-
preaching their retreat. AS the boat
party was landing. the white men,

THE DIFFERENCE.

There is no objection to the men
named by the president for postmaster
and collector of New York, but the lat
ter displaces Democrat whose term
has not expired, and the former takes
the place of Republican who had held
the position four years undisturbed by
Mr.. CLEVELAND. His removal is a
black eye for civil service reform and
the mugwumps. Mr.. CLEVELAND also
allowed the Republican he found in
the collectors Office to serve out his
term. The new men are appointed as
representative Republicans, and furnish
conspicuous evidence that the party
pledges are not to be redeemed. Civil
service and business principles may be
remembered in dispatches officially in
spired, but are not to be dominant in the
organization of the public service.

he put it into his mouth in order to bite
its head off. The fish, however,

clumsy attempt at decapitation. vigor-
ously essayed to make other arrange
ments. i'll which it was partially sue
cessful. Gifted with sliminess which
made it very difficult to hold, it slipped
through the mans fingers into his
mouth and conveyed itself partly down
his gullet. The situation now was bad
for the fish, but still worse for the man;
for. owing to the sharp fins on the back
of the fish. it was not possible to with
draw it. The man died in great agony
WITHIN an hour.
