tions, arc many Russian name: OF places
in Alaska, which are simplified by the
omission of useless letters, as Amchltka

A Snake With Two Tails and No Head.

'Talking ABOUT snake storics,' re-
marked Mr.. w. F. Dowden, "reminds

"(tueral, here is snake with two tails
and no head" General Marmaiukc and
several members of his staff stopped their
horses to get better view Of his snake
ship. Upon close examination it was
seen that what appeared to be one snake
was really parts of two. That they were
about the same size aud one had partially
swallowed the other had swallowed it
too far TO disgorge bef,rc discovering
that it was a physical impossibility to
swallow it entirely. "This is true

Dlunders of Good Writers.

A writer recently SAID Of DR.. Johnson
"Invariably late down for breakfast, he
did once happen to be so soon as to have
to wait for others" This fairly rivals
George Saiutsbury's "constantly right in
general" and surpasses, il possible, the
Characterization of a politician as "rather
radical in tie extreme"
Treating of the French, an author oh
served that "the decline of the material
comforts of the working classes had now
reached to an alarming height" A ply
sician once boasted 81 was the first to
discover Asiatic cholera and to commu-
nicatc it TO the public" The buyer of
a horse was once warned "that he might
find himself saddled with a worthless
animal" Many of the mistakes that oc-
cur in newspaper Offices arise from faulty
chirosraphY.
A Brooklyn paper relates now some
manuscript of DR.. Talmage came to its
Office at one time in which occurred the
words, "My text finds toe Lord" When
the words appeared in print they were
neatly transformed TO read, my tall
friend, our Lord Horace Greeley's
manuscript was puzzle to most people,
and, therefore, it is not to be wondered
at that when he wrote, " 'Tis true, It's
pity; pity, It's, It's true" the types made
him say Tis two, It's fifty; yes, It's
fifty-two."
On Rochester daily few years ago
a reporter wound up sketch of little
boy who had died from the effects Of an
explosion of firecrackers, which he car
ried in his pockets, in these words "Hi3
afflicted and bereaved parents will have
the sympathy" etc. The announcement
as it appeared in print was an oier OF
sympathy to "IIis afflicted and burned
pants. '-HisI Times.

A Master of Tongues.

One of the finest linguIsts in the coun-
try is the fifteen year-oId son Of Max
Dieulatait, Baltimore, NIL, whose pow
ers are described by the papers OF that
city. The boy is very intelligent lad,
with mania for acquiring languages
and nov speaks eleven, including Eng
lsh. His parents arc Of French and
German birth, 81 tdat Henri has spoken
the native tongue Of both since chilo.
Latin AMI Greek he learned at school,
while an intimate friend, an Italian,
taught him that language. Visiting the
Indian Territory for the restoration OF
his health, after a severe illness, he
learned to speak Choctaw anl Cherokee.
Spanish was taught him by Il tutor and
Portuguese by SAILOR employed as a ser
want at one time by his father, while
from Polish music teacher ne acquired
Russian. Young Dieulafait claims that
it is no trouble for him to master a
tongue and that it has never taken more
than three months for him to acquire any
of those he speaks so 1uensiy. His pa
rents, who arc very proud Of his attain
mcnts, propose sending him on an cxten-
sive tour through the civilized world that
he may further crafty his Linguistic
taste. Tie boy is modest, well.bc-
havci lad, inclined to be studiou', but
exhibiting fine business talents and de-
voting only such time to his hobby as he
would give to any other recreation

The delegates Of the labor convention
met in this city on Friday last and trans
acted considerable business pertaining to
the state organization Of the Knights Of
Labor. Besides the members Of this or
ganization, there had gathered here rep
resentatives Of the Farmers Alliance,
Good TemplaIs, trades unions, and other
orders, and on the following day q third
party was organized. A parade was held
in the afternoon and the line Of march
was through the principal streets to
Switzer's hall, where the body was called
to order and elected Con Lynch, Of King
county; chairman and R. Bridges secre-
taIy. The usual committees were ap-
pointed and forty-one delegates received
credentials. An address Of welcome was
delivered by Mayor Nichols, which was
well received. The convention in the main
was q harmonious one, and a new party
was organized under the name Of the
Peoples party Of the state Of Washington.
E. B. Sutton represented the state TEN.
perance Alliance and endeavored TO have
q prohibition plank embodied in the plat
form, but in this he failed. He also offered
q woman's rights resolution, which also
failed to carry. The platform favored an
eight hour law, an income tag, the sub
treasury scheme, and the abolition Of ma
tionsl banks. The Cincinnati platform
was heartily endorsed.
By resolution, the Oregon improvement
company, Col. &c. Haines and Governor
Ferry were condemned for their action in
the King county mining troubles.
The state central committee chosen con-
sisted Of DOlph Hanna, Con Lynch and
NJ. Wilson.
A state ticket is to be placed in the
field and the state assembly Of K. Of L.
will'be held next year at Tacoma.
A mass meeting, at which q number Of
strong speeches were made, was held in
the evening and presided over by VIM.
