A Very Fortunate Lord.

Lord Northampton is vastly FORUM
ate parsonage. In 1879 his eldest son,
the late Lord Compton, borrowed e10,-
900 from the National Life Assurance
society on the security Of his reversion-
airy interest in an entailed estate, but If
he died before his father Gas happeneO
Of course the security was worthless.
The society proceeded to insure Lord
Compton's life for e34, 600, the under
standing being that it was to pay the
premiums and add them to the amount
Of the loan, and the policy was to be
transferred to him If ever he paid of the
debt. He died three years ago, by which
time his debt to the society had risen to
e14,00 The society therefore congrat-
ulated itself upon having made profit
Of nearly 100000; but, 10 and behold,
Lord Northampton as executor Of his
deceased son demanded the balance Of
e34, 900, and in spite.of the agreement
between the society and Lord Compton
his claim has been sustained by the court
of appeal. The result is highly satisfac-
tory for Lord Northampton, who gets
nearly e20, 900 from fund which neither
he nor his son nor any of his family
paid penny to create.-London Truth.

A rAIs WIN a Moral.

A special six inch gun has just been
made at the naval ordnance foundry at
Washington. and the ordnance officers
are tickled half to death over the fact
that it has been constructed in fifty-two
days. f.i!.-. -g -a-fr- 7o1 4lg sid7.
It is a small gun, as guns go nova
days, and it wouldn't be worth much
for defense against a first rate power.
But if such power should attack us il
would take at least fifty-two days to
make another one like it. i-s
And in ffty-two days from the declara-
ton of war foreign feet would have
bombarded New York and Boston and
Baltimore and Charleston, and sailed
away again. In these days nations don't
wait year after declaring war before
beginning to fight.
The obvious moral is that we must
prepare for contingencies while there Il

EVIL r.lund AntseOsti.

The island Of Anticosti has always
held an evil reputation to mariners lying
close to the course of navigation to the
mouth Of the St. Lawrence. Its long,
low shores were the scene Of many disas-
trous wrecks, and thesuferings Of sailors
who succeeded in gaining the land were
grievous and terrible from the absence
Of water and means Of subsistence. Since
it has been properly lighted its dangers
have been greatly diminished; but from
the fact Of its desolate and lonely posi-
tion and its absence of population the
island has long been the resort Of char
acters who have found there a refuge
from justice.
2 It is evident that of late years this
criminal population must have been
largely increased, for we now hear that
the wreck Of the Idaho has been taken
possession Of by gang Of pirates, up
ward of 100 strong, who have set at de-
fiance the Canadian cruiser Wakeham,
and that it had been necessary to send
her majesty's steamship Comus from
Halifax to cope with them. It may be
hoped that her operations will result in
shs complete breaking up of this gang Of
i desperadoes, who constitute serious
danger to the crews of vessels that may
be cast upon the coast.-London Stand

Blunted His Dignity.

Fountaine, of hartford, is a name Of
worthy associations in the minds of Nor
folk men, and one which must be famil-
lar to all readers of Swift's correspond
ence, but its present hclder's latest
achievement has certainly not added
anything to its luster. Mr.. Fountaine,
Of Narford Hall, is justice of the peace,
deputy lieutenant and master Of the
West Norfolk foxhounds, and he appears
to have been under the impression that
these accumulated dignities entitled him
to the privilege of having an express
train stopped whenever he pleased for
bis especial convenience,
The station master at the little station
Of Eastwinch not seeing things in this
hight, Mr.. Fountaine stepped out atonce
upon the four foot way, and by gesticu-
lating and throwing his arms aloft con-
trived to stop the train for himself. The
driver not unnaturally inferred that
something serious was the matter until
he pulled up, on which Mr.. Fountaine
coolly climbed into first class carriage
and gave the word to proceed. This
curious escapade has imposed on the
magistrates Of the Swaffham quarter
sessions the, painful duty Of fining q
brother Justice and deputy lieutenant
Gg5, and binding him over TO keep tie
peace. The punishment cannot be said
to err on theside of severity. london.

set out to lead it nine months ago.
they have made q terrible mess OF 1t,

Smiths and Browns in New York.

Who is there in this great metropolis
that isn't acquainted with some one
named Smith? And yet there are not SO
many Of them as is generally believed.
II one were asked to guess the number
Of Smiths in the city it would be quite
natural to place the figure ashigh as 1O,-
600. To be sure, the new directory de-
votes thirty-five columns to the distin-
g1ished family, but there are only 1884
of them. OF these 113 are plain John
Smiths, and 122 are John-with-an-initial-
Smiths. The Browns number 1889, and
there are so Brownies. This is decrease
of Z compared with last year, when
there were 81. The decrease may be
taken as an indication that the final e is
going out of fashion. New York Times.

Girls ON Race Horses.

John c. Moore, rancher near Moore
Station, permitted two of his daughters
to ride couple of race horses he owns,
one Of them, Gold Dust, being well
known for speed. The girls rode with
surcingles only, but the horses became
unmanageable Being two Of them and
supposing themselves matched for race,
the high bred animals dashed away with
their inexperienced riders. The girls
were soon thrown off and dragged a
short distance. One had her arm broken,

untrue the reports that elections 10 Missis-

and fraud. He admitted that there were
cases of that description here and there,
brought about by peculiar circumstances
but these we're only exceptions to general rule
of fair and rescesble elections. He further de-
clared that he cancelled to the negro the same
right to life and liberty ard property that the
white man enjoys. bit he denied that the negro
had the right to destroy tho civilization Of Miss
issippi, and that right he was unwilil to accord
10 him. The speaker then reviewed the col NIT.
tees report on suffrage section by section, and
closed by appealing to the convention to save
Mississippi, TO rise above local or personal eju-
dices and consider the question presente in 8
spirit of patriotism.

John Clinton, aged about 10 years, ap-
peared before Justice Lambert and made
complaint against two brothers named Ker-
needy, whereupon warrant was issued for
their arrest. The young man was most
fearfnlly bruised about the face and body.
His statement CT the cause of the Ii Jury was
that the Kennedy brothers became incensed
at him while working at thresher on
Eureka fiat, near WallaW ALA. because OF bis
refusal to join In game of cards with them.
After some words had passed between them,
and bis continued refusal to play, the broth
ers suddenly attacked and overpowered
him. Icing rope was procured and his
hands and feet bound, rendering him per-
fsctly poweress. The brotbera then led an
uuruly horse to within short distance OF
the PROSTATE boy and securely tied one end
Of the rope to the animal. The other end
was fastened to the body of Clinton. AS
soon as all was occurred the horse was
started on a wild run across the fat. Clin-
ton was dragged quarter of mile When
found he was unconscious. The rope had
slipped from the tall OF the horse, thus saw
ing the young mans life.
