What u Tammany.

Of the thousands who, pnor u
election, talked sagely of Fam
many" and its influences, hov
many really knew what they wer'
talking about?
The Tammany society, or Col
umbian Order, is secret, benevo
lent and patriotic society founded
shortly after the Revolution in op
poeition to the Order of Cincinnati
ito keep alive the watch fires of ths
Revolutiton"i in the interests of ths
common people. EARLY in the cen
tury. when each of the Democratic
organizations in New York city put
Eforward the claim that it was the
Irregular" one. the dispute was re.
Fferred to the Tammany society, and
it rented its hall, the old Tammany
hall, to the one that it considered
the regular county organization.
From that date to this, whichever
party in New York city secures the
possession of the han of the Tam
many society has claimed to be the
regular organization.
There was a time, early in the
seventies, when the members Of the
Tammsny society, at its annual
meeting when the hall Mas TO be
leased, counting noses, found that
the Republican members outnum-
bered the Democratic members, and
the proposition was Immediately
put forward to lease the hall to the
Republican county committee and
make the Republican party the
Tammany hall party of the city.
The Democratic members, by dila-
tory motions, stayed off action un-
til they could send out into the
highways and byways and bring
in enough members to defeat this
action and continue the lease of
the hall to the regular Democratic
committee. The Tammany hall
Democracy Of the city has no more
connection with the Tammany 1so-
ciety than-the-Republican county
committee. The Tammany Dem
ocracy Of New York is simply the
regular Democratic organization OF
New York county and part of the
state organization. It is organized
essentially in the same way as ev-
cry other Democratic county COM
mittee in the United States, and in
exactly the same way as the Re-
publican county committee of the
city. It is very powerful county
organization, because it has behind
it over 100, 900 voters and comprises
thirty assembly Districts, instead of
one, or a part of one-but it differs
in degree, not in kind, from every
other.-Spokane Chronicle.

A Face In 9 Hand.

A very strange freak of nature is
reported from Roseburg, S. C. It is
a three. weeks-old baby, whose right
hand bears the imprint Of a human
face. The face occupies the entire
palm, and is as clearly outlined as
though painted on porcelain. 1t is
the countenance of little child
three years old lying asleep, with
the eyelashes drawn in fine dark
lines on the full cheeks. The mouth
seems to be slightly parted. and
the lips are delicately tinted.
The baby whose hand contains
this singular portraiture is the child
of Clarke Osborne, a merchant of
Roseburg, and Mrs. Osborne de-
clares that the face in the infants
palm is that of a little girl she lost
about three months ago, Relatives
and intimate friends profess to be
able to see a strong resemblance to
the dead child. When the baby was
first put into it's mothers arms she
looked at the hands, and with a
loud cry she tainted away, but on
coming to herself exhibited the lit

ants, who saw at once the strange
likeness to the dead and gone sister.

Californian Hermits.

the mountains of California there
are almost enough men who for
years have led a life of utter soli-
tude to disapprove the generaliza-
ton. These mountain hermits can
be found scattered through the
Sierra and Coast Range from one
end of the State to the other. They
are particularly numerous through
this region, centering about the
Yosemite Valley and extending far
back into the high Sierra. Some
Of them were once guides in the
valley, others have been miners
and some again seem tohave taken
up the life of solitude simply be-
cause they like it. To this class
belong old F. r. Gibson-sOld Glib. y
as he is generally called-who lives
on q mountain ranch not far from
here. He is seventy-seven years
old, but is possessed of as much
physical strength and endurance as
the average man of half his age.
He came here thirty years ago from
Tennessee, where he left a wife and
a large family Of children. One of
his sons came to see him recently
and tried to induce him to visit his
former home, but "Old Glib" stead
fastly refused to leave his little
ranch and solitary cabin. He has
never seen railroad, and the stage
drivers from the nearest station
try their utmost to persuade him
to go down to town and at least to
look at train of cars. But his in
answer is, "Do you think
| am going down there to be blowed
up by one of there them blamed
engines? Not much"
Nearly all the men who live this
life of solitude very long get a bit
queer in the head, and "Old Glib"
IS no exception to the rule. He has
} rigmarole description of himself
which declares that he is "the best
nan in the United States or adjoin-
ing territories, either directly or in
financially, commercially,
enthusiastically or unchurehified."
The old man is hard worker, and
when he is not busy on his ranch
ne is working energetically making
Shakes" that is, clapboards split
and sawed by hand from big pine
trees.
Old man Lambert, who has
claim in the high Sierra, some 20
Or 80 miles back of the Yosemite, is
another of the mountain hermits.
He has neither ranch nor mining
claim, but lives by what he shoots
and by an occasional few dollars
,arned from camping parties. He
has lived alone in that same spot
for years and years, and will in all
likelihood stay there till he dies.
There are months at time that he
does not see another human being.
A party of campers last summer
;ound him making a huge stone
wall that seemed to have no pur-
pose whatever. In surprise they
asked him what he was piling up
hose stones for.
