THAT SETTLED TT.

Editor PICAYUNE.-I am reminded of story, for the truth of which, however, will not youeh.
 About forty years ago, a strolling teacher taught district school in the pine woods of North Carolina. The natives knew little of books, and were amazed at the many branches this strange man prOfessed to teach. Among other things, he said he knew Geography and would like to teach q class. To display his parts and provoke admiration, he delivered a 'ectufe before his school on Geog- raphy, which his patrons had been invited to attend. The rustics with open mouth listened to his wonderful ''larnin' '' He said among other wonderful things; "The Mississippi is a great river of the West it flows northward through the Territories as is stated by all the authorities on ge- ography that are of reputation. His hearers applauded. But one man present knew positively that the Mis- sissippi had southerl y course, and was surprised that all the Geogra- phers taught differently. He wrote to professor in another part of the State to inquire if these authors did teach such falsehood. The Profes- sor wrote a reply stating of course that the teachers statement was un- true; that he must be stupidly ignor- ant or worse, and then quoted from the textbooks in general use, from Adams, Olney, Smith and Mitch el, paragraphs to the effect that the Mississippi had q southerly course. This letter of the Professor was printed in the county paper. Where upon the teacher came to the front, in this way: The Professor quotes the authors and proves my assertion false but l don't care. Let him come down here and we will dispute before my school. will affirm that the Mississippi rises in Mobile bay and flows North emptying into lake Superior, if he will affirm that the Mississippi rises in Hudson's bay and flows South, emptying into great Salt Lake. We will dispute a day on each of these propositions and if l can't down him will call in the teacher that larnt me geography and he can down anybody if he will dis pute here. The first proposition is what l believe and teach, the second is exactly what the Professor believes and teaches. My name is Jim"
 The Professor laughed heartily when he read this, and gave it no more attention. The school-teacher hourished like green bay tree in his district, and his critical neigh bor, let him alone. J. II. RIGGIN.

The Man Intrusted with Uncle Sans
Business in Chill.
The United States Government de-
mands from that of Chilli an expla-
nation Of the bloody attack on Amer
lean seamen in Valparaiso and repa-
ration for the injuries inflicted, and
Patrick Egan, United States Minister
in Chilli, is the man who has present
cd these demands. His appointment
to Office was make in March, 1889.
He has had an uncomfortable time on
account of the civil war in Chilli.
Mr.. Egan is an Irishman by birth,
a native Of the County Longford,
where he first saw the light in 1871.
His father was farmer at Ballyma-
hon before the troublous times be-
tween 1916 and 1849 compelled him
to give up agriculture and remove to
Dublin for the chance of making a
living. In that city young Patrick
received his education from the Chris
tian Brothers. He took great in

was one of the first Home Rulers and
an early member Of the council at the
head OF the organization. Foremost

Ready Answers.

Most Of us are able to supply rep
artee IL we are given time to think 1t
over. but repartee half an hour after
the occasion for 1t has passed Is like q
blank cartridge. IT is the readiness of
the retort that makes IL effective. The
great Russian soldier, Marshal Suvoroff,
was In the habit Of asking men diff
cult questions, sometimes foolish ones,
and bestowing favors on those who
showed presence OF mind In answering
them. On ono occasion General of the
divis on sent him a sergeant with dis.
patches, at the same time recommending
the bearer ID Suvoroff notice. The
marshal, as al, proceeded to test him
by series Of whimsical questions.

1.-TWO Of your excel ency's forced

"If your men began to give way In a
battle, what would You do?"
"I'd tell them that just behind the
enemys line there was n wagon load Of
good things to eat"
slow many fish are there In the sea?"
"Just as many as have not been
caught"
And so the examination went on. till
Suvoroff, finding his new acquaintance
armed at all points, at length asked him,
rs final poser:
"what is the difference between your
Colonel and myse!f?"
THE difference is this" replied the
so der, COO ly. "My Colonel cannot
make me Captain, but your excellency
can"
Suvoroff, struck by his shrewdness,
kept his eye on the man, and soon after
ward gave him the desired promotion.

What a grand phantasmagoria, a
pot-pourri OF misplaced affections and
mixsd-up matrimonial alliances this
place is, writes correspondent from
Sioux Falls, S. ID. While throughout
the length and breadth of the con-
tinent 1t has become known as the
spot par excellence for the securing of
divorces, and many queer ideas may
have gained possession OF the peoples
minds as to what it is like, none of
them, queer though they may be, can
do justice to the situation. Here
December wed TO May, old mems dis
appointed darlings and young mems
slaves, young men with elderly affini-
ties, unrequited love, budding hope
and dead passions, all figure together
in one fantastic show, which must be
seen to be properly appreciated.
Sioux Falls has population of 49,
900 and the occupations Of her people
are varied, but the chief scene Of in
dustry is the divorce court. While
this is in session-which is nearly all
the time-a steady stream of human
ity passes in one door, each one with
an application for a divorce in hand,
and cut the other with the granted
divorce. The majority Of the appli-
cants are women, but there are some
men. The women are all young
many less than % and few over 30
and the greater number Of them are
pretty. Some Of them are very beau
tiful.
The most prominent of the colon
lists" is Mrs. James G.. Blaine, Jr.
Her household consists, besides her
self, of her beautiful little boy,
Jamie" his nurse, and the house SER
wants. She has a handsome little
cottage situated in the midst Of a
pretty lawn, dotted and bordered with
flower beds, and is surrounded on two
sides by low-roofed, widespread
piazza, which gives quite an air of
comfort and beauty to the house. In
