AN UNSELFISH STEED,
Remarkable Unselfishness Of a
Clergyman's Horse.

Remarkable Unselfishness of
Clergyman's Horse.
A doctor and clergyman were ex-
ercising their horses one morning in a
country lane, when an argument arose
between them as to which Of the ami
mails possessed the sweeter DISPOSE
ton.
"1'll wager that if their respective
tempers could be tried" said the doc
tor, ''mine would be far away the
better"
Chats all nonsense, retorted the
clergyman. "My mare has the best
temper of any horse in the nei,hbor-
hood" E
"Well, here's a stiff hedge, let us try
their leaping capabilities" suggested
the doctor.
Right you are . agreed his friend.
The doctors hunter quietly refused
to jump, although put at it again and
again. The clergyman's little mare
also refused, but at the same time put
back her ears and exhibited consider
able ill-temper. When repeatedly
urged to jump she finally accomplished
a clever back-jumping feat, which.
threw her master over the hedge.
Strange to relate, the reverend gentle
man was unhurt, and, scrambling to
his feet, commenced to scrape the
mud from his broadcloth, whilst the
doctor laughingly remarked
Perhaps you are convinced now
that my animal has better disposi-
ton than yours" AZ, l3
"Not at all, y replied the clergyman.
My mare is such an unfelfsh little
brute that though unable to take the
fence herself, she had no desire to keep
me from going over. In fact. she
facilitated the mode of my transit.
whilst your horse displayed dog-in..
5the-manger temperament by not going
himself and not allowing you to %
either. .

BABY's FOOT.
1t Is Said to Greatly Resemble
MOnkey'S

1t Is Said to Greatly Resemble a
Monkeys.
Chow many people have ever taken
notice of a baby's foot, except to
admire it's pinkness and prettiness?"
said a well-known scientist. "And
yet to the anatomist tits arevelation.
Take, for example, the tootsies Of a
child Of 10 months that has never
walked or stood alone. 1t has a
power OF grasping to some extent and
is used instinctively like a hand. The
great toe has certain independent
working, like a thumb, and the
wrinkles of the sole resemble those OF
the palm. These markings almost
entirely disappear after the pedal
extremity has come to be employed
for purposes OF support and locomo-
ton. -....
"The hands and feet of a human
being are strikingly like those of the
chlpanzee in conformation, while the
gorllla's resemblance to man in these
respects is even more remarkable.
The higher apes have been classified
as 'quadrumana,' or 'four-handed,'
because their hind feet are hand
shaped; but this designation is very
improperly applied, because the apes
posterior extremities are not really
hands at all. They merely look like
hands at the first glance, whereas in
fact they are but feet adapted for
climbing: The big toes can not be
opposed to the other toes as thumbs
are to the fingers, but simply act
pincerwise for the purpose ofgrasping.
"Now, funnily enough, the Infants
feet have this same power of grasping
pincer fashion, and the action is per-
formed in precisely the same way.
Advocates OF evolutionary theories
take this to signify that the hum an
foot was originally utilized for climb
ing trees also before thespecies was SO
highly developed as it is now. Also
they assert that the fact Of the art OF
walking erect is learned by the child
with such difficulty proves that the
race has only acquired it recently

lines in order to visit friends in the

was SO poorly matured that when
either told it it would not hang to-
gether, and there was little resem-
blance between the accounts which the
two gave. The arrest SO completely
confounded them that they were never
able afterward to recover from it.
The unfortunate men made no COM
plant at the severity of their punish
ment, except that they deprecated the
ignominy Of being hanged. They were
too we'll informed not to know that
upon conviction Of being spies, they
must suffer death, and hence they ex-
pected it and made no complaint.
Colonel Orton, who recognized
Colonel Watkins as soon as he saw
him, told him that he barely escaped
with his life when the arrest was made
that he had his hand on his pistol
to kill him and escape. Had it been
any one else he would have done so.
Colonel orion delivered his sword
and pistols to Colonel Watkins and
told him to keep and wear them. He
also presented him with his horse,
which he valued at SIS, 1000, and asked
him to treat him kindly for his sake.

terview to-day the Hon. Beverly W. Hill,
mayor OF this place, said that Asheville
parties would visit Hot Springs during
the week to negotiating Tor options on
timber along the proposed route OF the
Spring Creek railway. There are about

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Nearly 500 station
agents and railway telegraph operators
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul railway will quit work to-day or
tonight, throughout Illinois, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebrasks. Grand
Chief Thurston, of the International
Order of Railway Telegraphers, is in
charge to direct and enforce the strike.
He claims the strikers will direct and en-
force the strike He claims the strikers
will be backed by the entire order in the
United States and morally aided by the
other labor tederations.
The trouble is the result of the recent
change in the wages of agents and oper-
ators. 1t is said by the officials of the
company that the change is an attempt
to equaize the wages paid i'll the cities
and smaller towns along the road. A
committee had three days conference
with General Manager Earling which
ended yesterday with refusal on the
part of the company to concede the de
mands Of the men.
Chief Thurston asserts that 100000 q

NOT POLITICS.
Mr. Deaver Says HIS Backers are
MIR. BlantOn's Friends.


W. H. Deaver, whose suit against the
city has caused so much talk, was
shown this morning the printed report OF
Asheville's receipts and expenditures, is
sued July /, 1890, and covering period
of one year.
II know" said Mr.. Deaver, "every-
thing is temized there. We do not charge
crookedness in the city government, but
carelessness. Money has been spent al
most lavishly without any apparent in
vestigation as to the good that would
result to the city by such expenditure.
The report says, for instance, that $780,
900 were spent up to July 1, for street
Improvement. Now, where has it been
used The streets are very little better
now than they were two years ago.
The city has, it is true, put in perhaps a
half mile of curbing, and that is about
all that can be noticed.
"All we expect to do is to restrain the
city from borrowing money and in this
way put stop to the indiscriminate ex-
pcnditure of the taxpayers money. All
we have to fear is that the present session
OF the legislature may legalize this bor-
rowing by the aldermen by an amend
ment to the charter. In that event we
can do nothing. The mayor is now i'll
Raleigh, and he may perhaps be looking
into that matter now"
AS to the political aspect of the case,
Mr.. Deaver said that the gentlemen as
sociatcd with him in bringing the suit
were personal friends of Mavor Banton
and had voted for him at the time of his
election.
There is nothing political in it," con-
cluded Mr.. Deaver, land we only want
to stop the apparent waste of the peo-
plcs money" "
