BeethOyen's Last Piano.

The "Beethoven's House society,"" :"
Bonn, has recently acquired Beethoven's
last piano. 1t was made by the court
piano maker, Konrad Graft, who died at
Vienna in 1851. He went to that city in
the beginning of this century, and soon
gained reputation by the excellence of
his pianos. The instrument in question
was expressly ordered from him by
Beethoven. In consideration of his deaf
ness, it was made with four strings to
each key, instead of the usual three.
Owing to the strength of its tones,
Beethoven used it almost exclusively in
the last years of his life. After his death
it passed into the hands of the bookseller,
Franz WINNER, of Vienna: and, after
the marriage of his daughter to Swiss
clergyman named Widmann, it became
the property of the Widmann family in
Berne. Its genuineness is proved by
documents, and confirmed by the au-
thority of Johannes Brahms. 1t is now
in the house in which the great COM
poser was born at Bonn. - London

A peculiarly pathetic incident marked
the closing of the life of Alonzo E. Stod
dard, the well known Boston baritone
who died with typhoid fever. AS he lay
on his cot in the hospital breathing bis
last, sudden inspiration seemed to re-
vivify him, and, to the wonder of all, he
sat upright in his couch and began to
sing in his familiar, robust voice one of
his favorite operate solos. He never
sang with more feeling or with more
beauty of tone. The song was sung
from beginning to end, the last notes
died away, and just as they ended the
singer fell back in his bed, ,dead.-Peoria

OLD CLIO HALL

These literary societies in most colleges are
usually obsolete affairs, which have been re-
placed in spirit, if not in form, by the Greek
letter societies. In Princeton the literary
societies have been protected by the faculty
by X sping up constant warfare against
the Greek letter societies. There are nc
chapters OF Greek letter societies in Prince
ton acknowledged; consequently, if they ex-
ist, they exist under a disadvantage.
Away back in the last century there were
two hteraZy societies in old Nassau hall, at
Princeton, the Well Meaning and the Plain
Dealing societies. Out of the Well Meaning
society came Clio hall in 1865 From the
Plain Dealing came Wing han four years
later. The founders of these halls were men
in middle life decade later, and were among
those who founded the American republic
Judge William Paterson, the founder OF
Clio, was a delegate 10 the provincial CON
gress and was the author Of the famous
Virginia plann for forming the Union.
James Madison, who built up WhiS hall, pre-
sented to the same convention the New

Bunch Grass.

''The bunch grass which grows so lux
uriantly upon the western plains Is a
curious plant" said ranchman yestar-
day. at grows everywhere throughout
the west wherever there is the slightest
rainfall, and in the greatest luxuriance
along the river bottoms. It's godsend
10 the grazing industry, and although a
homely plant, possesses more of the fat
tening qualities than the far famed blue
grass OF old Kentuck. Indeed, much of
the fast horseiesh Of the mountain dis
trlcts owes its staying powers to a diet
upon this succulent grass. Spokane, for
example, took its full allowance of bunch
grass IN his coltish days. Bunch grass
grows In thick hummucks, or punches,
as the name would indicate.
Half a hundred sharp pointed spears
often arise from single hump, and often
to height of eighteen inches. In the
spring it is delicate green, but later on
dries up, but cures to perfection upon
the root. During the winter cattle dig
with their noses for this grass concealed
beneath the SNOW. However, if the
snow is covered with a crust, steers are
thus cut of from their usual food and
die off in large numbers, as it is pecu-
liarity of a steer that it never uses its
hoofs in removing the snow from the
familiar pasturage. Horses, however,
break the crust with their hoofs, and
thus stand the hard western winters bet
ter than cattle. The buffalo always
makes use of the hoofs in uncovering
the food, and somewhere down in Kan
sas there is stock farm where this fac
ulty of using the hoofs is being devel-
oped by judicious crossing of buffaIoes
with the native cattle. - Minneapolis

TRIED TO KILL A PRIEST.
Mysterious Attempts on the Life OF Fattfe,
Kelly, of Oneida, n. Y.

Mysterious Attempts on the Life OF Father
Kelly. of Oneida n. Y.
For several weeks the people of the thriv-
ing agricultural village of Oneida In Madison
county, New York state, have been greatly
excited over series of mysterious crimes
The first of these was an attempt to poison
with arsenic a pair of fine horses belonging
to Mr.. John F. Ryan, young coal dealer.
The would be poisoner went about his ne
farious work by placing in the managers Of
the horses apples cut ia half and tied together
with small twine. The inside of each half
was followed out and the cavity filed with
arsenic. The horses did not eat the apples,
and so no harm resulted. Although Mr.
Ryan discovered that an attempt had been
made to poison his horses, he said nothing
about it except to a few friends, and it is i'm
probable the matter would ever have become
generally known bad subsequent events not
given the work of the miscreant greater
Importance.
These events were two attempts on the life
of Father James A. Kelly, pastor Of st.
Patrick'S Roman Catholic church at Oneida.
Father Kelly Is great friend of Mr.. Ryan's,
and II NS known 10 many that he has at vari-
Gus times proved his friendship by lending
money to the young coal dealer. 1t was, in
fact, with money borrowed from Father
Kelly that AIr. Ryan bought the horses that
the poisoner practiced on with such poor sue
cess. 1t was these facts which made friends
of Father Kelly establish a connection in
their minds between the attempt to poison
Mr.. Rysn's horses and the subsequent at
tenpts to take Father Kelly life.
That the latter should have occurred is
surprise to the people OF Oneida, for Father
Kelly is dearly beloved by his congregation,
and he says that so far as he knows be has
not an enemy in the world
St. Patrick's church was not completed
and ready for occupancy until Nov. "a Of
last year, and from April, 1888 when the old
