Their Repartee.
There is a small boy working in a
merchantile establishment in this town
who is not likely TO be hanged while
he stays in New York state and the
present laws stand as they do. More
than this concerning this young man,
says the New York Recorder, it would
be rash TO prophesy.
Now, the merchant who employs
him to do "A great many things very
badly is large, red of face, pompous and
dignified. He was once in the senate
gallery at Washington when Roscoe
Conkling sat down, metaphorically
speaking, on a statesman from jim
town or some other place. Since that
time this merchant has been Conkling-
esque. particularly when rebuking an
employee.
Now, the small boy. who may be
called James, succeeded the other day
in performing some especially villain
Gus actions that drew down upon him
the wrath of his employer. So he was
called into the presence. The digni-
fed merchant expanded his chest
frowned and proceeded to annihilate
the small boy with a look. The small
boy would not annihilate.

There can be no apology for sucfi

merchant ia still thinking the matter

kENruckYs MUSICAL WONDER
A Five Year Old Pianist or Danville At
tracts Much Attention.

tracts Much Attention.
One of the most remarkable cases
OF musical precocity ever known in
Kentucky is that of little Walter j.
Simpson. the ive-year-old son OF w.
c. Simpson, superintendent OF the
nee hanical department. OF the state
deaf and dumb asylum located at
Danvile. says the Chicago Herald.
He is musical prodigy in all that the
word implies. lie plays the most diff
ficult compositions on the piano or
organ with as much ease as trained
musician could The first time he at
tracted attention TO his great natural
talent was when he was about three
years OF age, and shortly after his
parents had purchased an organ. His
mother. upon entering the room one
day, was surprised ut seeing the youth
full musician standing at the organ,
working the pedal with one foot and
executing as we'll as his baby fingers
would permit one of the familiar re-
ligious hymns which she herself had
been playing. The little fellow was
encours ged and made rapid progress.
Shortly alter the discovery a local
pianist happened to be at Mr.. Simp-
sons house and the childs playing
struck her as being 50 remarkable that
she offered TO instruct it in all the
branches, but the parents would
not consent preferring to wait
until Walter was more matured At
the teachers advice, however they
hn fAin
and the new instrument seems TO suit
the youngster much better than the
other. Another remarkable thing
about the boy is his memory for tunes.
He goes to church with his parents,
hears hymn entirely new to him, and
with few hours practice reproduces
it upon his piano. He enjoys his tai
ent very much and is never happier
than when perched upon a piano stool
and playing some of the bright catchy
airs that he hears on the streets. His
surroundings also conduce to his spend
ing much OF his time at the piano. His
home is situated within the enclosure
of the deaf and dumb institute and
Walters playmates are only the little
victims of an unkind nature. Walter
says they cant talk VIII their moufs ="
and that he prefers playing his piano
to playing with his afflicted neighbors.
He is wonderfully bright Intellectual
ly. and is very handsome child, hav-
ing almost classical face surmounted
by dark brown locks. His sparkling
blue eyes light up his striking face,
and his robust frame and general
healthy appearance indicate the max
ing of strong man. His only pet is
a beautifully marked shepherd dog
that he calls Quiz" He and Quiz"
are almost inseparable, and when his
master is playing the dog seems to en-
JOY the music as much If not more
than Walter.

PIzARRo.s BODY REMOVED.
The Leader OF the Peruvian Conquest
Finds Ills Last Rcsting Place.

The newspapers OF Lima Peru, con-
tain elaborate accounts OF the removal
OF the body OF Francisco Pizarro. who
led the conquest of Peru. from a vault
under the altar of the cathedral at
Lima to the chapel of the viceroys in
the same building. The body was
subjected TO u careful examination and
found to be admirably preserved. al
though il has been $50 years since
Pizarro died.
The Peruvian Mail refers to tho mat
ter rs follows: Tho two hands and
all of the toes with the exception OF
two, are missing; but this is evidently
due TO populations by visitors to the
cathedral, which were facilitated by
the body having been kept in an open
coffin. All the signs OF the wounds
received by Pizarro during his life
time are distinctly visible--one being
in the neck. ono on the arm and an
other in the head, the latter being an
indentation which is said to have been
caused by blow administered with a
silver jug full OF water. The body is
one meter and seventy-lve centimeters
in length The doctors who conducted
the examination are OF the opinion
that at the time Of his death Pizarro
was at least 20 years OF age"
The Nacion Of Lima commenting
upon the state in WHICH the body was
discovered, after referring to the fact
of its having been found in an open
coffin says that it is well known that
Pizarro was buried in complete armor,
and wonders how the authorities can
consent TO receive tie body in its pres
ent condition. Tho Diario OF Lima
explaining the absence OF the armor
says that it was taken out of the colin
and put on exhibition in the museum
formerly existing in the headquarters
of the artillery corps at Santa Catalina
and was stolen by the Chilians when
they entered Lima. On the other
hand, Ricardo Palma. in the Concrete,
declares that Fizarro was buried with
out his armor his assassins no. giving
him time to put ii on Palma adds
that the body was given seputure in
great haste in ordor to prevent its be-
ing dragged through the streets.

Ihe Two Lovers.
CnNn

Love is often deaf to those
Who love her deeply;
Deaf and blind as death may be
To grief or gladness.
All, that love should hold q heart
At best but cheaply!
Such a heart as none can lure
10 cruel madness.
Love, alas is born of earth,
And drifts supinely.
Now she fluids q bitter Joy
In vulger measure.
Now she sings with open throat,
And sings diyinsly,
Passion-sweet in all her dream,
In all her pleasure.
Oh! when Love meets Love in guise
Supremacy tender.
just as crystal song meets song
In PEI fleet blending,
Then She scars among the stars
To her surrender
There is neither pain for her
Nor ending.
