One Thing George Didn't Know


They were walking on the hillside, says the
New York Tribune overlooking Lake Cham
plain.
George DEAR" she said, how charming ut
is to get away from the heated city and its arti-
fetal life. aud spend few weeks among these
simple rustics. What are those little green
things growing on those trees? They look like
gooseberries "
Those are apples, Mabel"
George, how absurd you are! ApplesP
Those little things! I'm going to ask this wee
country girl, and see
Nonsense, Mabel; don't display your igno-
! rance. Don't you think l know? Those are
apples, in their first stage, far from ripe, yet,
small and green. Goosebarries don't grow on
trees, anyway; they grow on bushes"
Dear George how clever you are to know all
those things. Where did you learn it all ? How
heavily the trees are loaded All but one. Look
at that one. Look at that one, George. 1t has
no apples at all On it. What is the reason Of
| that, dear?"
well, really Mabel, know a good deal
about things in general, but it's little difficult
to say just why that tree has no apples, pre-
| sumo the farmer has picked them all"
But, George, how could the apples on one
| tree ripen so far anead of the other ?"
Perhaps he likes them green. "
Then why not pick some off the other trees?'
What little tease it is said he Perhaps
the wind shook them Off perhaps caterpillars de-
stroyed the buds; perhaps a dozen things, dear.
| Agriculture is precarious pursuit About as
| safe poker. should say"
Now, George, dear, just let me see If this
little girl knows"
Little girl, can you tell me why this tree has
not single apple on 1t, while the others are
| fairly Ioadedg"
"Cauth 18th not an apple tree, man,"
And il wasn't.

Among other information, recent pri-
vate letter from the Caroline Islands, re-
ceived by way of Samoa, contains an
account of the disturbances between the
Spanish troops and the natives at Ponape.
At one battle the Spanish mustered 200
men, and the natives were not so numer-
Gus. But the Spaniards had to retire with
a heavy loss. On the island OF Ponape the
population is divided into five tribal dis
triots. Each is ruled by a king One of these
tribes is especially hostile to the Spanish gov
eminent. and the governor has issued a
proclamation that the tribe will be ami
hilated unless the members surrender them
selves and their arms to the Spanish authori-
ties. Still postscript to the letter says
that peace has been restored on the island
On board Spanish hulk at Ponape were
nine natives who had drifted 500 miles east.
They had lived at sea for twenty-three
days, subsisting on few cocanuJs. When
picked up they resembled skeletons That is
also about the actual condition Of the
Spanish authority on the islands.

That is rather gauzy and altogether i'm
probable story lately disseminated in West
Virginia by ono Gen. T. NJ HARRIS of
Richie county, a member Of the court-mar-
tIal which investigated the death OF Lincoln
and condemned Mrs. Surratt. in bis just
finished alleged history of the assassina-
tion of President Lincoln, in which he boldly
charges that jefferson Davis and certain
members of his cabinet were interested in
and encouraged the assassination of LIN
coin. Possibly some sort of a plausible
theory may be nece Isary to relieve the con-
science of the whilom assassin of a woman,
and the so-called historian of a disreputable
transaction could not be expected to rise
above traducing the memory of a dead man
in order TO shirk degrading responsibility.
What interest Mr.. Davis and his cabinet
could possibly have in the death or life Of
Mr.. Lincoln under the circumstances is not
clearly apparent.

Indians are rapidly becoming civilized.
Chief Black Bear. recently filled up on
mountain dew of a peculiarly sturdy variety
and beat his squaw, whereupon the dry
indians interposed, and when MIR. Bear had
taken another bite at his bitters and sailed
in with barytone whoop to wipe up the

of his felIow-citizsns had to plug him to
discourage him. Squire Bear Robe is said
to have done the most scientific puncturlng

quiet and orderly manner and Denver So
ciety is not greatly disturbed by the Incl
dent Still considerable animation was for
a time shown.

The Baltimore federal officers who are offer

for the Offepses Of which the civil service com

to be showing altogether needless alarm
There is no indication that the administration

Now comes on terrific struggle between
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and the Bell Telephone Company. SO
goes the announcement. When it comes
on there will probably be some startling
disclosures Of official corruption. Both
sides are fiscal giants aud the fight
may be expectsd to be all the more fierce
because the two companies have heretofore
worked in harmony, aud the chances are
that the Western Union may be able to tell
by what methods the Bell company got its
successive lucky patent office and court
decisions. 1t is only another case of friend
turning upon and rending friend when in
terest no longer oements friendship.

The Harmon Murray Reward.

1t is stated in some of the Florida papers
that the colored boy Hardy, who killed the
desperate Harmon Murray, has not yet re-
ceived the promised reward, and that there
is hitch somewhere which prevents him
from getting it. 1t is to be hoped that there
is no intention to deprive Hardy of what 30
Justly belongs to him. The reward was
offered for the desperate alive or dead.
That the desparado is dead, and that Hardy
killed him, there is no doubt.
For months a large section of Florida
was terrorized by the Desperate. He killed
seven men and committed numerous other
crimes. Many attempts were made to capt
ure him, and even at the time that he met
his death parties were hunting him. When
his death was ANNOUNCED there was great
rejoicing His slayer. Hardy. was con-
graduated on all sides and Landed as q
hero. He was told that he would get the
$4,000 reward without doubt.
1t is difficult to see on what ground there
can be hitch in paying the money. All
the conditions have been complied with g,
and a failure to pay it would be breach of
good faith that would not be oreditable to
those who offered the reward.
The money should be paid at once. A
failure to pay it. or an unnecessary delay in
doing so, would create such feeling of
distrust that little effort would be made in
future to earn rewards offered in the state.
Next to Balmaceda there is probably no
manknown in the late Chilean unpleasantness
who is so much ard so generally disliked as
Mr.. Patsey Egan. who is an alleged rep
resentative of the United States in that
South American republic. Chiefly he was
a professional lriShman here. But other
Irishmen of reputation and prominence say
that he is not a representative Irishman,
nor a representative lrish-American. That
should be considered creditable to both
races Certainly his conduct has not shown
him to be a representative American in any
sense of the word. Not satisfied with ex-
posing his vain pretensions and apparent
trickery the Irish leaders make mysterious
illusions to certain shady transactions
leading to the loss of 100000 to the Irish
land league through him. What we need
in Chile is a real representative.

Russian newspapers at st. Petersburg ex-
press confidence that. in view Of the entente
cordiale between France and Russia, the
powers will hesitate to protest against Tur-
keys concession to Russia, as regards the
Dardanelles, for fear of raising thorny ques-
tions regarding Bosnia, Cyprus and Egypt,
while Turkey, strengthened with the knowl-
edge that the Franco-Russian entente is a
counterpose to the dreibund, will not be
easily intimidated. Thus, these papers be-
lieve, peace is assured. So Turkey has
cause for thanksgiving that it has escaped
being the bone of contention this autumn.
Were Maj Moses quite as Handy with
his wits as he is by name and reputation he
would have found less difficulty in persuad-
ing the suspicious Russian police that he
was Christian. That is to say in the
common acceptation Of the word. When
the Muscovites discovered that he was a
member of the Philadelphia Clover Club
and bore a Semitic front name they were
somewhat justi6able in doubling that he
was Christian. But be managed finally
70 satisfy them that he was born a Chris
tian even though he is not working at it
now.

Talking about swagger, too much OF
this commodity has lately brought to
grief a certain member of well known
third rate London club. This gentle
man is one who, so far from admitting
that anv member of the upper ten could
nv any accident be unknown to him, Is
ALWAYS ready to boast of close and lnti-
mate friendship with every one happen
ing to have either rank or position. his
failing is notorious; and three humerists
determined to give him a lesson. Ac-
cordingly, in the club billiard room, one
of their number, Mr.. C, casually said:
care you going to Lady LIS to-
night"
"No." replied the victim. Her lady

said Mr. c..
Aghast at this unlocked for PROPOSE
ton, but unable now to retreat from thu
position he ha. taken up, the only re
; ioinder of Mr.. j was feeble:
Thanks; | wish you would"
! Half an hour later, just as the tri
! were about to leave the club, unhapp.
, Mr.. j drew Mr.. c. aside, an
after some beating about the bush wa
at last obliged to confess that he did no
know Lady l., and begged Mr.. C
