typical soldier of fortune as ever Lever imag-
ined. had gone from st. Louis to Grafton
sixty miles above on an excursion, to witness an
eclipse of the sun. On the boat returning to
the city there was dancing in the cabin, and as
stood watching the dancers | observed man
staring at me. He was typical southerner in
appearance, tall, handsome and striking look
ing, His gaze annoyed me so that left the
cabin.
Returning again, he renewed the stare, and
finally found him standing by my side. He
said: i beg pardon, but you don't know me,
see No said. 4 don't 4 know you,' he
replied. In 1851 you were lieutenant in the

I'll tell you story. In 81 l was a boy of 20; l

AFTER the war, he continued. L drifted
down into Mexico and joined Maximilian's
forces, where was captured and came within

1t is reported that the new edition Of
Chambers Encyclopaedia is to contain auto
biographies of great men, instead of arti-
Giles about them written by other people.
This is new departure that may be made
very interesting. Autobiographies spread
out into book are sometimes very dull
reading, but any great man should be able
to give an interesting and instructive ac-
count of his life, if compelled to do so
within the limiSs Of an article intended for
use in an encyclopedia. In that way every
man may manufacture the details of his in
dividual greatness according to the dictates
of his own conscience, and arrange the mag
nitude to accommodate the size of the uni
verse and the credulity of mankind. Future
generations may then open their encyclo-
pedias and gaze upon solid greatness that
will make them stare in wonder. Possibly
that's the scheme the ancients used to work
on us, which may reasonably account for
some of their marvellous performances. Still,
that's cheap and very pleasing way to
make an encyclopaedia. Give Col. Shepard
the first whack at it.

Another Big Land Grab.

Another great grab at government land
is soon t. be made by the AtcaisOa. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway Company. With
the completion of that road ami the IN
finished portion Of the Atlantic and Pacific
betweea SEQ -epa and Alb1querqus viii be
sp-ung one Of the largest legal sensations Of
modern times. Il is nothing less thaa the
claim on the part Of the Atchisoa TO over
10000 90 acres Of land, being alternate
sections for ten miles in states and twenty
miles ia territories on each side Of the track
for the whole distance. 4 large part Of this
is in what is now the richest part Of Cali
fornia. This grant was conferred in 1866
by the government. The terms were that
the Atlantic and Pacific should build
the road. and that the government would
extinguish the Indian title. survey and
open the land TO settlement in advance OF,
or at the same tine with, Constructions.
This the government did not do. except in
part. Neither did the Atlantic and Pa
cifc build all of the road, but it built sew
eral hundred miles through territory not
even yet surveyed, and over which the In
dian title still hangs. By act of congress,
July 6, 1886, the grant was repealed. The
Atchison has procured opinions from some
OF the leading attorneys in the country, aud
they all agree that the repeating act was
unconstitutional. The road failed to carry
out its contract. but the government had
previously failed to carry out its
share. AS a consequence, the burden,
according to legal talent, falls
on the government Congressman
Springer Of Illinois, who is an unusually
well informed man upon such affairs, is
said to have expressed confidence in the
railway company'S claim against the land.
Such an award as the government made
was certainly in the nature of contract,
and if tue company can show that it has
fulfilled all the conditions devoIving upon
it, then, under the supreme court decision
that ''any enactment tending to impair the
obligation Of contract is unconstitutional
and void" it would seem that the company's
title is clear.

One of the best known of Greek anti
quarians was NJ. Simonides, of Athens,
who recently died. He had chiefly devoted
his profound learning to supplying the
market demand for antiquities by means of
forgery. His skill, though greatly abused
was such that he succeeded in deceiving
some of the most learned scholars. only to
have the frauds detected by others. He did
a great amount of mischief, however, BY
throwing doubt upon all kinds OF newly
discovered ancient writings, with some OF
which he had nothing to do. There are now
so many of these deity manufactured anti
q titles offered that only skilled antigua
rian may safely venture to buy such things
at present.

all that successfully; and it seemed to i'm
