As every one knows, North and
South Carolina were Of the thirteen
original States of the Union. aud for
many wears after this nation became
free the twin Commonwealths grew
and prospered. In the early part of
the present century, however, Il cloud
no larger than two mems hands appear
ed upon the Carolina horizon, and
grew until it threatened to wreck the
social fabric VI the two States. The
Governor Of North Carolina quarreled
with the Governor OF South Carolina.
Tie Executive Of the Tarhee State
publicly stated that his colleague of
the Palmetto Commonwealth was "no
better than he should be" This, as
may ne imagined, aroused the wrath
of the Governor of South Car plina,
and he issued i manifesto declaring
the Governor Of North Carolina
would be better if ne were not worse.
Thereupon grave complications arose,
and for !. time an internecine war was
threatened. The people greatly re
| grettcti the quarrel, aud the most able
and skillful diplomats Of the two
States bent their utmost energies to
the pacification Of their now maddened
superiors. Finally, after months OF
strenuous effort, a meeting was arran
| sed between the two Governors with :;
view of settling the difficulty

The Ghost Of The allaDDTa.
~ JENNIE PORTER ARNOLD.

Fred Hazeltine had been my college chum, and
my most intimate friend for years afterwards until
business changes separated 1t had been ten
years since met, and for the last five neither had
heard directly from the other For about eight
years / had been in San Francisco, engaged in
banking business, and for the first time, since
my removal there, | had come east for a visit.
Upon my arrival in New York, almost the first
person saw, whom had previously known, was
my old friend He met me with all his old friendly
cordiality, and insisted upon my accompanying him
home an invitation which very willingly accept
ed. He had been married about six years, and had
two children, so he told me-speaking OF wife and
children with great pride and affection. On
arrival at his house his wife absent; would
return in about two hours" the servant said in
answer to Fred's inquiry. There was so much of

lives, that not sorry for the opportunity for

four, and little girl still in the nurses arms
were brought in and really proved more worthy
of my friends enthusiastic affection than | had
expected.
After their return to the nursery, we settled
down to a long talk of our respective histories
since we last met. My own life had been quite
commonplace and uneventful; | had been fairly

Elepha nts on the xVar Path.

An elephant stampede, Is reported from Riga. Eight trained elephants have lately been exhibited at tho Salamonsk circus. few evenings ago one of the animals, instead of going quietly through tho performance, raised his trunk sud- denly and began to trumpet. His com rades at once became unruly and made for the door. Ono of tho grooms closed it, but tho first of tho elephants burst 1t open without trouble. A lady who at tempted to run across his path was seized gently round tho waist by tho ami malls trunk and safely deposited on one side.
 The huge quadrupeds burst through another door into a passage and found their way to the box office. This seemed to excite their curiosity, and they exam ined it minutely They then entered a small courtyard and began q regular war dance, uttering piercing cries as they pranced about in their wild antics. Even tuauy they were mastered and walked of to their quarters. Two of them, how ever, again got away, and, curiously enough, trotted back toward the circus. They missed their way and rushed into the yard of neighboring house, to the terror of the inmates, who were reused from their slumbers by the elephantine assault. It took several hours to re- capture the fugitives.-London Truth.

Marriage by Surprise.

An extraordinary occurrence has taken place in one of tho principal churches of Madrid, in tho parish of Santa Cruz. A priest had nearly finished his mass, and was in tho act of pronouncing the sacra- mental words, ''Ite, missa est" when a young man, aged twenty-onc and a bcau- tiful girl of twenty suddenly approached tho altar railing with three middlc-aged mon, and tho young couple cried aloud, ''We wish to be husband and wife. Here arc our three witnesses"
 Now, it seems that under tho canoni- cal laws still regulating marriages in Spain, Roman Catholics can thus claim to be considered married ,.by surprise if they arc skilful enough to do so just after the priest has uttered tho benedic- tion at tho closo of the mass. Formerly this stratagem was, as in tho present case, resorted to by young people whoso parents opposed their union. When this occurred in the Church of Santa Cruz q scene of confusion ensued. The priest retired to the sacristy, and sent for the police, who conducted the offenders and witnesses into the presence of the muni~ cipal judge. He declared the marriage valid, much to the delight of tho young couple, and to tho intense disgust of tho parents of both sides, who had resisted the union.-London Times.

Justice Grny's Fine Physique.

Justice Horace Gray. of tho supreme court, always insists upon doing his own marketing. Justice Gray, by tho way. Is an unusually conspicuous figure in Wash- ington wherever he goes on account of his great height. He must be at least six feet four inches tall. and many a smile has been caused at receptions where he has met men of small stature. like President Harrison himself. The effect of their mutual greeting is very much like scene from comic opera.
 The justice iS a keen expert on all mat ters pertaining to tho market especially in the selection of game. It Is said at stalls there that he waits before purchas- ing bird until the feathers havo begun to drop out and fall upon the floor. Then it Is f4pe and goes into his basket at any price. Press.

ODD KINDS OF LEATHER.
KanHaroos', Porpoises'. Monkeys'. Alia.
 gaeors', and Horses Hides.

It has been demonstrated that all sorts of skins may be tanned. Beasts, birds, fishes, and reptiles have been alike brought to tho tan yard, and the prices of their skins arc regularly quoted in the price current of tho Shoe and Leather reporter Alligator skins havo long been favorite material for the manufacture
 of pocketbooks and satchels. The high price which the first product commanded soon induced manufacturers to produce
 limitations. These are merely embossed leather. Tho peculiar scaly nature of tho alligator's hide is successfully imi- tated by means of steel dies, which leave a durable impression upon the leather so perfect a resemblance to the gonnine al- ligator skin that only exports can tell the
 difference. Tho same process is used to initiate other fancy skins, so that there is no novelty that is not initiated within three months of it's first appearance. Tho alligator skins werc first put on tho market in 1Si6
 Kangaroo skins have only been on~the
 market about three years. Tho skin of the porpoiso has lately been used for shoes. and is we'll considered. because
 of the fine grain, making it waterproof. It resembles goat skin. Tho skin of the seal has also been made into leather
 and sells for about $40 a dozen skins. One of tho latest novelties is rattle snake leather, which Is used chiefly for
 making pockctbooks. The mottied ap-
 pearance of the finished skin makes Il
 pretty leather, and it is rather fashion
 able. Tho imitation skins, made of en-
 bossed sheep skin, arc already on the
 market. The skin of tho monkey has
 also been tanned and used for making pocketbooks. Boar skins have long been used with the hair on for caps and coats, and the hides have also boon used for fancy trade. During the past few | years the hides of horses have boon suc- cessfully tanned and put upon the
 market as a standard article of leather. American kId is now taking a promi- nent place in the leather market, and is | preferred to French kid by many manu- | lecturers, who find it quito as soft, | pliablc, and durable, and much cheaper It is declared that American kid at p
 cents a foot is equal to French kid at

A Lucky Dog.

Baron de Jouarre. who died in Paris few months ago. boqueathed the whole of his fortune, amounting to S3O. 900, to Tiger, his faithful Danish mastiff. Ac- cording to the provisions of the will, family residence Is to be purchased in one of tho suburbs, in which the dog is to take up his quarters. A malo attendant and charwoman are appointed to look after the dog and keep tho house in order and will be paid for their services an annual salary of S4o0 each, together with free lodgings.
 Every little contingency has been pro- vided for. X small sum has boon set apart for the apothccary and the vete- rinary surgeon. Every year Tiger Is to be furnished with q new rug, and in spring and summer with fresh collars of elegant design. At tho demise of the noble animal S200 arc to be spent on q gravestone, and the house and the eapi- tai to become the property of the society for tie protection of animals.-N. Y. Star

PREMATURE BURIALs.

Most people have an lndetinable horror of being buried alive, and many give directions ill life to be followed after their death that will certainly insure them against the awful fate. The re- cent case of Mind Reader Bishop, involv- ing as it did the possibility of his having been buried while in cataleptic trance, and several other cases of persons com ing out of frances while being prepared for burial that occurred last week, are again calling attention to the much dis cussed and always dreaded question of premature burials.
 There is little doubt that ill the course of year persons i'll considerable num- bers are buried while yet the breath of life remains. We will not dwell on the awful horror of ones waking up in his coffin, or the terrible despair that seizes him as he finds himself shut in by the closed lid and the the fearful struggle that such one makes for his escape from his living tomb. These things are too horrible for anything but the most morbid imagina- tion to feed upon. We would call at- tention, in the seeming inability of med ical sc fence always to determine whether death has actually occurred, to the need of some law that would effectually pre- vent premature burial and so free people from the ever gnawing fear that the awful fate of being buried alive may possibly come to them or theirs. Could not bodies be ordered kept for certain time, perhaps until symptoms of modification, which doctors tell us is the only infallible sign of death, appear and make it certain that the subject has passed away? Or could not the knife be applied in such a way that the assurance of death would be given? Possibly change of earth burial to cremation would effect the desired object, though the horror of being burned alive migh, not be less than that of being buried alive. In any event, with the number oi premature burials that occur each year and the number of cases of trance ol suspended animation that are reported there seems need of some regulation whether scientific or legal, that will re duce to minimum the awful possibility of premature burial.
 There is great field here for our scien tific and legislative investigators.

APOLOGY is an unenviable condition for great political party to be in; yet that is the condition of the republican party at the present time. Apology for its president, apology for the failure of it's policy, apology for its disregard of platform promises, apology for every thing connected with it. And we be- ieve that in 1899 it will be apoloygzing g for going before the country after it's failure under Harrison.

We have received number of com plaints regarding this nuisance from citizens who think their ears and nerves ought to have some protection from the air-splitting shrieks of the locomotive. Most of these complaints come from Brooklyn and points in that neighbor- hood where citizens bitterly declare that they are regularly robbed of their sleep by the screech of the locomotive. One gen. tleman asserts that he has not had a full nights undisturbed rest in many months. and that he knows others who have been regularly deprived of the same luxury. During the small hours of the morning, when nature is resting and the tired populace is at rest, the engin- eers running the iron horse in that delight in testing the lungs of their chargers and assaulting the patience of the sleeping households. Fretting chill dren, nervous mothers and worn out men are reused from slumber by the footing whistles which are in most cases blown off in order to let off the superabundant spirits of the engineers. Perhaps the whistle relieves the monotony and eases the long vigils of the wakeful train hands, but it is death to the sleeper in his house who is trying to recuperate his energies for the morrow's toll. It is to be hoped it does anyway, for the troubled citizen can see no other reason or object of the continuous serenade with which he is afflicted every night. There would certainly seem to be no need of whist ling during the small hours of the night, for in a city where there are so few stir ring after midnight there would appear to be little need of warning pedestrians or others off the track. And then, too, the rumbling of the wheels would con- vey all the warning that would be need ed to tell belated travellers of the loco motives approach.
 Certainly whatever necessity may exist for locomotive whistling during the day-and even then it is nuisance of no small dimensions-there is no reasonable excuse for it during the clos ing hours of the night. Engineers who will toot their whistles when there is no need of it ought to be made to stop it. A little discipline on this point would be exceedingly grateful to the people of Waterbury.

WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS is being mentioned for the Berlin mission. His chances, however, are regarded as some what lessened by the fact that he is not a working editor. At the same time he is not related to the Harrisons or the Scotts or the Saunders or the McKees. Mir Phelps claims may therefore be con- sidered as lacking a prime essential.
