He Fails t" Establish His Identity and
Loses Twenty Dollars.
The other afternoon, when the shadows
were growing longer in the streets and
the day was taking ON a somber hue, a
little group of politicians sat in the city
hall regaling each other with We stories
OF We olden time. Among those reeled
on was the following regarding an ex-
p%erlence Of William II. Seward, who was
then governor Of the Empire State. 1t
seems that while travelling around
through the rural districts and making
sure that his political fences had no very
bad breaks in them, he came one even
ing to the humble abode of a farmer.
1t was too far from the town where
he was stepping TO go back that night,
and so he asked permission to stop there.
This was cheerfully granted, and after
partaking of an old fashioned country
supper the old farmer invited his un-
known guest to take a ride across the
country with him, he having an errand
to do in a neighboring village. With
all the suavity for which Mr.. Seward
was justly famed, he accepted the invi-
t~ation, and as they drove along in the
gathering twilight he entertained the
old farmer with all manner of campaign
experiences and stories.
The old farmers native shrewdness
caused him to wonder why the stranger
should show him SO much attention, and
at last he blurted u
"Say, be you a book agent:'
GENn+ +lo+ + $780, y $3.50. H. .ox-
ernor's smiling rejoinder.
perhaps you're a lightning rod man,
eh?'
"NO, sir; you are wrong again"
Then you're a sewing machine man"
No, sir"
"Well, then, by gosh, you must be a
politician"
Mr.. Seward at once acknowledged the
soft impeachment, and then informed
the inquisitive old fellow that he was
the governor Of the state of New York.
This quoted the old fellow for awhile,
but at last he could hold in no longer, and
he quietly informed Mr.. Seward that he
thought he was a liar. Mr.. Seward,
however, insisted on the truth of his
story, and the dispute finally resulted in
a wager of twenty dollars. The money
was placed in an old lantern hat was
carried in the wagon to be used in case
of emergency, and it was agreed that
the first person they met was to decide
as to the ownership of the money.
Should he fail to recognize Mr. Seward
as governor the former was to win, and
vice versa.
The test soon came. Driving by the
shop of a wayside blacksmith, the pro-
prietor himself stood in the doorway.
The farmer stopped his wagon and Mr..
Seward said:
my friend, my veracity has been
questioned by the gentleman with me,
and should be pleased to have him con-
WINGED as to who 1 am. Will you be
kind enough to tell him."
The man of Drawn and muscle peered
at Mr.. Seward long and earnestly. Then
turning to the farmer he said, in awe
struck tones:
"He's all right, Bill! 1 know him!
He's ThUrlow Weed, by goshw
The farmer took the twenty dollars
and Mr.. Seward was poorer by that
amount han when he started out.-Chi-

The March of Death.

Whoever has read the "Wanderinp
Jew will recall Mr.. Sues graphic &C
counts of the terrible plague that follow
ed the footsteps of this heaven-accursed
man, in his wanderings that should have
no end.
wherever he appeared death leveled
the human ranks, as flowers fade before
the whitening blast from Etna.
The demon of death is again abroad in
Europe, and all present indications point
to the worst epidemic that the country
has had in years.
In Russia the deaths average nearly
5000 daily, and the disease is spreading
slowly but surely. ALREADY cases have
been reported from nearly every State in
Europe. In Galicia it has appeared in
two districts, which is occasion for great
alarm for the reason that the Galicians
carry on such large smuggling operations
as to render it impossible for the author
tiles to bride the disease and it NAV
spread rapidly.
A number of cases are reported in
Breslau, Germany, and Dimazera. Hun
gary. 1t is slowly working along toward
the upper Danube, and if it once appears
on the upper reaches it will be almost
impossible to check it,
The authorities are exercising all their
powers to isolate cases. They maintain
a strong Gordon around all infested dis
tricts, but just when they think they
have it in hand it breaks out in other
localities.
The greatest apprehension is felt by
the authorities. Count Won Taafe, Aus
trian prime minister, says the outbreak
in Galicia means the spread of the dis
ease throughout all Central Europe.
Under these conditions the American
government cannot exercise too much
caution, and vigorous measures should
be adopted to prevent the Importation of
the plague to this country.

The cLOyEN F0oT.

The Third party in NORTH Carolina
has formerly rendered its services to the
Republicans of that state and invited
them to cooperate in the overthrow Of
the Democracy.
What spectacle is this fer Southern
men. Organized ostensibly for reform
and relief to the farmers, the Alliance
movement gained almost universal re-
spect and sympathy.
When some of its ambitious leaders
thought to make a third party out of
the organization the best element de-
cilned to go with them, but with patri-
Otto zeal remained in the Democratic
fold.
While the alliancemen made their
fight on the line of Democratic nrin
clples men respected them. When a
part of the body organized a Third par
ty, Democrats became suspicious and
when they openly invite Republicans
to join them they forfeit the last re-.
naming vestige of respect and become
the avowed enemies of all true Southern
men.
