a storv of Two Cattle Barona.

One of the stories of the rapid rise and
decline of the COW baron owes authorship
to Colonel Jim Britton- In the days Wnen
Texas had railroad commissionership,
with only ornamental functions, Colonel
Britton was appointed to fiji 1t. While he
was commissioner, Colonel Br1tton went
out to Abilene The time was the flush
period of the cattlemen- Millionaires were
thick At one of the exchanges" OF ADJ
lene Colonel Britton was a witness 20 a
controversy between two OF the new mill
lionaires. These cattle barons had just re-
TURNED from their first trips to New York,
where they had gone to get rid of some of
the profits and TO have royal time.
"Jim," said Jake, that's pretty fine
watch you've got there"
"Yes," replied jim, IL got the ticker OF

"Cost me $780," answered jim, with
triumphant grin.
Jake was blue over the discovery tndU He
didn't own the costliest watch in Abilene.
He stood holding the now despised chro-
nometer in his hand and looking at It
Bracing up after a few moments he said;
"There amt much difference between 'em.
But I'll bet lean throw mine farther than
you can yours"
Everybody laughed and looked at Jim.
The latter was not to be blufed. Quick as
q flash he replied. "I'Il just go you one on
that"
The crowd went out into the rocky
street. A scratch was drawn. 1t was
agreed that the man who threw his watch
the farthest should have what was left OF
both watches. They threw, and the fellow
who won led the way back into the Elk
change and set up the drinks.

Britton, concluding the narrative, Il was

EX-PRESIDENT GREVY. reer. When law
student, he took part in the revolution
of 1880.
On the restoration of peace he returned
TO his books, and after admission to the
bar almost Immediately gained repute as
an advocate He participated in the up
heaval of 1s4s, and later on, as member
of the constituent assembly, opposed the
designs of Louis Napoleon. The latter
recognized his activity by putting NJ Grevy
in fail, where he remained for several
months. From the time of his release I'M
til 1868 he figured little in public affairs,
and consistently refused to take the oath
of allegiance to the empire.
In the year named, however, he yielded
to the established order" and was at
once elected member of the corps legis-
latif from the department of the Jura.
Upon the fall Of the empire his chiefest
period of political activity began. From
1871 TO 1879 his parliamentary career was
distinguished by all the tact and ability of
a great statesman. Subsequently as presi-
dent of the republic he gave France eight
years of peace and prosperity. Then came
the scandal of 1887, which forced him into
retirement. Wilson, his son-in-law, was
charged with having sold decorations of
the Legion of Honor, and Grevy at once
resigned the presidency. The remainder
of his life was passed in retirement.

Curiously enough, Mr.. Carlisle has met
more of the Republican politicians of New
York and the east than he has of members
of his own party He has surprised those
Republicans whom he has met by his per-
sistency in seeking information respecting
men and measures from the east. He has
been particularly interested in learning all
that could be told him regarding Governor
Hill, of New York. He knows Mr.. Cleve-
land well, and probably understands that
mans intellectual character as well as any
politician of either party, and it is delight
to hear Mr. Carlisle analyZe those qualities
which have in his opinion made Cleveland
strong, and discuss Cleveland's career,
both in its successes and its failures.
But Governor Hill is new quantity to
him, and he has been very much interested
in Hill, and is anxious to know what are
the qualities which have made such ca
reer as Hill has enjoyed possible. The
other day, while sitting on the piazza OF
! q Narragansett Pier hotel, Mr.. Carlisle
said that he was wondering whether Gov
ernor Hill knew that even ex-presldents
when they entered the senate, were ex-
pected to begin at the beginning. When
Andrew johnson, Mr. Carlisle said, en-
tered the senate, after he had served as
president, he went into the primary class.
The senate is no respecter of persons, and
that was the reason, Mr.. Carlisle declared,
why, when he had an earlier opportunity,
he did not go to the senate.
1t was ALWAYS matter of wonder why,
when Mr.. Carlisle was serving his first
term as speaker, he did not accept an OPP
| portunity to be chosen member of the
senate. His friends in Kentucky sent him
word that he could be chosen without
| trouble, and he replied that he could not
take the Office. The reason, he said, was
this: The speakership is the most impor-
tant Office next to the presidency, and
aside from the duty he felt he owed his
| party to serve out his term, he did not be-
| lieve that he should, as a politician, resign
| an office where he was supreme to take an
other where he would have to go to the
foot of the class, as he expressed it. That
was the reason why Mr.. Carlisle was not
chosen senator in 1884, and why he waited
for five years before ACCEPTING the high
honor.
When he was elected senator another
man than he was to be supreme in the
house of representatives. So he said that
| going from post of so great power as the
governor of the state of New York to seat
in the United States senate was very much
like stepping from the speakers chair in
the house into the senate chamber; for, nc
matter what a mans prominence may be-
or his political influence when he first
enters the senate, he goes TO the foot of the
class. Even Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Carlisle said
found this to be true. HENRY ERBEN.

Blind Japanese shampooers.

To this day all towns and villages In ia

clans become professional story tellers
The higher official grades, which were al
one time opened to the blind, were eagerly
sought after. Those who held them were
provided with special marks of their Office
and during civil wars blind musicians were
frequently employed as spies.
The art of shampooing as praeticed By

Romans Often Ignorant of Their Roles


What we are in the habit Of seeing daily
soon ceases to make deep or sharp i'm
preston on the mind, and to many of
the Romans, even of the better class, who
are ignerant of history and have no liter
ary training, the very names of the relics
and remains of antiquity, which SO deeply
impress the stranger, are often unknown.
An odd instance of this occurred on the
first visit of the queen of Italy to Rome.
AS she passed for the first time through
the Corso and caught glimpse in passing
of the column of Aurelius, she eagerly
turned to the gentleman who accompanied
her (who was one of the gentlemen of the
court) and asked, "What is that column?
"Ah, that" hesitatingly replied the per-
son addressed, ''that-ohl that is the
eolonna of Piazza Colonna-"-W. w.

Yesters yssa Shoot.

While some of the individual scores at yesterdays shoot of the Gun club were not as good as on previous days the general average of all the mem bers was better than at any previous shoot. Marks, who three Sundays ago, run his percentage up to seventy five and then the following Sunday advanced it to ninety per cent. and tied Waite for first place yesterday dropped down to sixty per cent. and to second place in the seasons shoot. Frank Andrews brought his score up yesterday, while J. NJ. Aitken who, for the first three or four shoots, was experimenting with patent cart ridges and smokeless powder, which resembles sago in appearance, and as a consequence confined his score to a single figure, has settled down now to black powder and cartridges of his own loading and has brought his score up to a two-fgure proposition, tieing Waite yesterday with score of thirteen birds each. In the shoot of of the tie Aitken won. Curry went to scratch yesterday with a bran new gun warranted to never miss-if held properly. He had been out practicing at stationary targets during the week and the gun gave perfect satisfaction. To use his own language yesterday on the way to the grounds, "I am going over to pepper them to-day" When asked how many he thought he could get he answered about eighteen" A wager of S1 was offered him on ten birds, which he covered and lost, as he brought up at the tail end of the score with five birds. As the season progresses interest in the shooting Increases, and it is no even bet on any one member yet as to his winning the JoURNAL-MINEn medal. The crack shots have their of days ap- parently when their scores drop down, while few, Morin and Liv- ingston particularly, keep up an even steady gait of little over fifty per cent. at each shoot. The JoUR- NAL-MINER has no favorite the only object in offering the medal having been already attained, that of get ting up an increased interest in the weekly contests.

A Rival Claimant. .

Col. D. K. Allen has been explor- ing the country south of Yuma and has succeeded in finding so many thousand mud volcanoes and other natural and unnatural wonders there that a poet signing himself Colonel Budge Fudge publishes the follow ing in the Yuma Times: If I had but a quart of gin,
 Or better, half a gallon; Volcano yarns, I too, could spin,
 As we'll as Colonel Allen. If he must have a sulphur bed,
 He should not claim Andrade's, But find one for himself, instead,
 In the thermal belt of Hades. Volcanoes scarce a yard in height
 Excite our widest wonder; When they insist, all day and night,
 In belching mud and thunder. I too, can scratch and raise a din
 With busy beak and talon; 1T had but quart of gin,
 As we'll as Colonel Allen.
