A story of Hannibal Hamlin.

The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of Bang
or. Me-, while attending the Grand
Army encampment. told a good story,
which has never before been published,
about a countryman who didn't know
him. He was passing through West
Market Square, Bangor, one morning,
when he saw load of very nice oats,
and made Il bargain for them with the
owner. Having paid the price, he gave
the countryman directions as TO how TO
find his house. But his bucolic friend
was not quick enough to understand
him. and finally said Look here, mis-
ter, you get up here with me and show
me where your house is" Uncle Han
nibal accepted the invitation, and when
the barn was reached he even assisted
the driver in disposing of his load,
which only about half filled the bin. lie
therefore ordered another load at the
same price, and it was brought the next
week. In the meantime the farmer had
learned who his purchaser was. When
he reached Mr.. Hamlin's house with the
second load the farmer at once began
an apology for his jocular rudeneSs, as
surfing the Vice-Presdent that if he had
known who he was he would surely not
have asked him to ride on a bag of oats.
"Well. my friend" said Hamlin, Il
didn't hurt the oats, did ~
mo. but
"Well, the oats didn't hurt me, so
don't see as there is any chance for usto
complain
Uncle Hamlin has no more ardent adj
mirer in Maine to-day than that raiser
of oats.

Jerelers' Recie'r.

1cNttcFh HtttW.
Travellers who have penetrated into
casternmost parts of Southern Russia
find some strange beliefs as to the power
of fish charms. Many fish found in
those countries have two small, hard,
round bones on the side of the head.
They are believed to have the power
when worn by the owner to prevent
collie. and they are termed collie stones.
The more wealthy Of the peasants have
collie stones mounted in gold, and they
are worn upon the neck as valuable
addition TO necklace.
The bones of the common bullhead
are much used among the Russian peas
ants as a charm against fever. Among
European nations in the middle ages
doctors of medicine had faith that two
bones found in the head Of the tench
virtues. The bones were
applied to the skin in cases OF fever.
The tench is a European fish, and the
United States fish commission are en-
to introduce it in American
waters.

THAT GREEN SCANDAL.
Something More Of 1t from Hampton, Va
She Swore Falsely.


II would seem that the people Of Old
Point, Hampton, and vicinity are still talk
ing of the very remarkable marriage OF the
married man Green TO the divorced
woman McCrea, which occurred at the latter
place on the Sd of the present month. The
following interview With ex-Judge now
Clerk Booker is from the Hampton Va)
Monitor:
"Mr., Green came into my office. and
asked for marriage-license. told him
he could not get it because the lady was
not q resident of this county, and sent hun
to Judge Peek and Mr.. A. s. Segar, Com
monwealth's attorney. He drove away,
but failed 10 find either Of these gentle,
men. After some time he came back and
said it was all right-that the proposed
bride was resident Of this county: Judge
Booker then went down to the carriage and
questioned Mrs. McCrea closely, and she
affirmed most emphatically that she was
resident.
In reply to the question il she was over
twenty-one years OF age, she replied
she was widow. The Judge then
swore her and she stated under oath that
she was widow and resident OF the
county.
After issuing the license Mr.. Green asked
Judge Booker how long it would probably
be before the marriage license would DO
made public, and said he would like to
have it kept secret for awhile, If possible.
The Judge replied:
"If there is any investigation il will be
discovered Immediately. but If not. 1t may
be some time. In March / make up an
account of all my marriage-licenses and
send them to Richmond and there they are
recorded" Mr.. Green left after this and
that was the last he saw of the parties.
la an interview with the deputy clerk.
Mr.. Walter Holt. he said: 1.-The mar
riage certificate was left with me, OF rather
given TO me, and dropped it into the box
with the other certificates. l did not in
| quire what certificate it was and Shorts
did not say anything about 1t. l did not
think ANYTHING about the matter and was
not aware the certificate was IN our Gus
tody until Shorts informed Us. Went up
TO his house several times to get the cer-
tifcate. but Shorts was not in"

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Chicago Gets Knocked Out Before the
Committee.

(By telegraph to tho DispstchI
WASHINGTON. February lS.-The House
Committee on the Worlds Fair held long
session this morning, and after many skir-
mishes for advantage finally decided upon
a resolution which was presented III tho
House this afternoon by Chairman Cand-
Ter. This resolution is in the nature OF
compromise, and received the. unanimous
vote OF the committee. though there was
with the result that Chicago was defeated
by the combined opposition OF the other
contesting cities.
IL was evident Immediately after the
meeting of the committee that the Chicago
men were in favor Of forcing the fight IN
the House 10 speedy termination, and
that the other cities, particularly st. Louis.
preferred that some time should elapse be-
tween the present action Of the claims OF
the several cities and the balloting upon
the choice OF O site.
Mr.. Hutton. ON behalf OF chicago, pro,
posed that only one day should be allowed
for debate and that the vote should Do
taken the same day. or if the debate occu-
pied too much time that the ballotlng
should be begun the next day. Objections
were raised to this by representatives Oh
other cities based on the ground that time
should be given for reflection and that the
matter should not be rushed through the
House. On division the Chicago men alone
voted in the affirmative.
Mr.. Flower. of New York, proposed that
Wednesday and Thursday should be given
mp to debate and that the voting should
begin Friday.
Mr. Frank suggested that a provision
should be made for taking the sense OF the
House on the question of whether or not
any Worlds Fair should be held in 1892,
and that this being afirmatiyely decided
the ballotlng should begin the following
week.
After considerable discussion the resoiu-
tion for debate on Thursday and Friday
and the balloting on Monday was unsni-
mously adopted; Mr.. Hill, however, Sc
curing compromise of that part OF the
resolution which proposed vote on the
question of holding any Worlds Far at
all. the form of the resolution being
changed at his instance so as to leave this
with the House.
