Liberal subscriptions have been made
by the people Of Norway toward the
fund for building and sending "A Viking
ship across to be exhibited at the World;
fair. 1t is intended to row and sail t4
vessel the entire distance. Not less than
thirty rover will be required to man
the ship. 1t is intended, however. as far
as possible to accept the services of none
but educated men, who may be able 10
take part in the compilation of an ac-
count of the voyage. Another literary
project in connection with the interest
ing experiment is the Issue Of Il pamphlet

Carr-Seale, Of Salinas City, Cal, they
were simply overwhelmed with amaze
ment.
His most intimate friend did not sus-
pect him of being II ladies' man, and
very few knew that he even enjoyed
her acquaintance. but twenty-five years
ago he knew her well and loved her
ardently. She is a daughter of Jesse d.
Carr, long known as the Sage of Sal
linas' on account of his wisdom in
guiding Democratic councils. On his
first visit to California the two met,
loved and were betrothed. But trouble
arose, no one knows what, and they
parted in anger. She married Mr..
Scale and he a Minnesota lady.
His wife lost her mind by reason of "a
long illness and drowned herself in
Lake Minnetonka, leaving one child, a
daughter. Mrs. Scale became a widow,
but years passed before they met. 1t
was by the merest chance they did meet,
but the old love was soon rekindled:
they were a second time engaged; he
went home to prepare for the event, and
Mrs. Scale was i'll hourly expectation of
a telegram that all was ready when
there came instead the news of his
death.
After the melancholy romance comes
the unpleasant prosaic fact. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Won Wedelstaedt, of Minneap-
oils, was pleased with the prospect Of
having Mrs. Scale for a stepmother, but
objects very vigorously to her as heir
of half the estate. She will contest it
to the bitter end, and if Mrs. Scale per-
sists a very interesting lawsuit will re-
suit,

Of those accidents liable to occur at any
time in "a state with a large foreign born
population. There was a school law

pearance of a big Republican majority,

A Valuable Opal.

The most famous opal Of history was
that which was worn in u ring by Non
ius, the Roman senator, in the days of
the triumvirate. In size it was scarcely
larger than the average hazelnut, yet its
beauty was such rs to render it the mar
vel Of its time. The "money changers
and goldsmiths of Rome set its value
down at 81 100000. Mark Antony made
overtures for its purchase, intending, it
IL believed, to present it to Cleopatra.
Upon the death Of Nonius history loses
all trace of it, there being no record of
its transfer from him to any member Of
his family.

1t has been the generally accepted idea
that govt is a disease peculiar to lazy,
sluggish minded high livers who have
nothing in the world to do but live-and
eat. But there is a new light, and DR..
p. Smith says it is not the result Of al
coholic drinks, for it is rare in Scotland;
nor do wines s~uperinduce it, for it is
rare in Spain and Italy, and the beer
drinkers OF Munich and Vienna know it
not. According to him it is a proud dis
tinctiOn, for it 'belongs to the most CIV
ilized times and nations, to the stronger
sex, to the most vigorous period of life,
to the higher classes Of society and to
the most able" And so another popular
delusion is attacked, if it is not yet de-
strOyed, and the CONT must be classed
with William Tell and Lucrezia Borgia.
1t will be remembered that DR.. johnson
once wrote DR.. Taylor as follows, my
opinion is that | have drunk too little,
and therefore have the govt, for it is Of
my own acquisition, as neither my fla
Their had it nor my mother" At the
same time johnson was iminoderate in
all things. aud he acknowledged that he
was "a hardened aud shameless tea
drinkcr.

The convention itself bids fair to be
II of the most exciting III the history
of the Democratic party. At the outset
there will be II vigorous contest over the
delegation from New York. The adher-
ents of Grover Cleveland have taken the
position that the February convention at
Albany did not fairly represent the De-
mocracy of the state-that it was called
too early to obtain an honest expression
of the will of the people and that its
action ought TO be ignored. At the Syr-
acuse convention On May 81 this senti-
ment found formal expression.
Senator Hills supporters. on the other
hand. insist that the midwinter conven-
ton was regular in every respect, and
that the date was agreed TO by the
Cleveland men on the state committee.
They will stubbornly resist any recog-
milton of the contesting delegations, and
a very hot and bitter fight is expected
both in committee and on the floor of
the convention. The outcome will have
II very important bearing on the selec-
ton of Il candidate. Should the regular

Don Carlos Buell's Visit to Major Ander-

Document Never Before Published.
The great generals of the late wal are
rapidly passing away, and there are now
living very few who achieved any on
siderable distinction in the fearful strug-
gle between the states. Major General
Don Carlos Buell., although seventy-four
years of age, is still enjoying excellent
health at his home in Muhlenburg
county, Ky. General Buell's connection
with some of the great campaigns of the
civil war has passed into history, but the
following statement of a fact which had
an important and direct bearing upon
the momentous events of the four sue
ceeding years, is herewith published for
the first time:
Early in December, 1860, about one
month after Lincoln's election us presi-
dent, a cabinet meeting was held to con-
slider the situation in Charleston harbor,
where Major Anderson occupied Fort
Moultrie with a garrison of but 101 men.
1t vas decided to send a discreet and
able officer with verbal instructions to
Anderson. In the very nature of things,
Anderson's conduct in the future was to
be large discretionary. The mission was
of the most delicate nature. and it was
