II was during the autumn of 1885 that
spent a week in Washington, that beauti~
fut city of marble and asphalt and
courteous citizens. The fact that the
humblest appearing visitor in Washing
ton may be close to men of vast influence
seems to secure for all consideration at
the hands of passers-by that is seldom
experienced in New York. So when
asked stranger on Pennsylvania avenue
If the president was in town, he not only
informed me that he was, but also of the
days and hours of his receptions and a
variety. of other matters tending to en-
tighten me as to the things worth seeing
In the immediate neighborhood of the
White House.
That very afternoon saw me admitted
to the great East Room, where cosmo-
politan crowd of hundred or more was
awaiting the privilege of shaking the
executive hand. Presently Mr.. Cleveland
appeared in the doorway, and there was
rush in his direction. With the modesty
of my sixteen years, stood aside and
watched the attendants form the visitors
in line, SO that was the last to approach
the doorway. The president smiled
slightly as he extended his hand-proba-
bly, with relief that / was the last-so
ventured to say: 1--WE must tire your
hand very much, SIR"
ga little, my boy" he said kindly,
"but when 1 am very old and you are
president, think how proud l shall be to
have met you SO long ago!"
In perfect fever of boyish delight
found myself again on Pennsylvania
avenue, without exactly knowing how
got there.-C. w. H., in N. Y. Recorder.

Lecfured the KIM

A certain American lady lately had .
curious adventure while visiting Wur-
temburg. The king of the country, like
the kaiser, is a very Indifferent whip, and
while entering the Stuttgart Schloss
nearly drove over lady who was cross
ing the road.
She, however, with the sangfroid char
acteristic of the daughters of the West,
promptly seized the horses heads, and
told the king in pretty strong terms
what she thought of his conduct.
The young lady was unaware that she
was giving the length of her tongue to a
king until the next day, when she re-
ceived letter from one of His Majesty's
chamberlains begging her acceptance Of
the royal photograph as souvenir of hi
clumsiness and her escape.

A Story of Old Times.

A young English woman was sent to
France to be educated in a Huguenot
school in Paris. A few evenings before
the fatal massacre of St. Bartholomew
day she and some of her young COM
panions were taking walk in a quiet
part OF the town where there were SEN
tinels placed. One of the soldiers, as the
young ladies passed him, besought them
to have the charity to bring him a little
water, adding that he was very ill, and
that it would be as much as his life was
worth to leave his post and go and fetch
it himself. The ladies walked on much
offended at the man for presuming to
speak to them at all, but the young En-
glishwoman, whose compassion was
moved, leaving her party, procured some
water and brought it to the soldier. He
begged her to tell him her name and place
of abode, and this she did.
Some of her companions blamed and
others ridiculed her attention to COM
mon soldier, but they soon had reason to
lament that they had not been equally
passionate; for the soldier contrived
on the night of the massacre to save the
Englishwoman, while the others in the
house were killed.-Irish Times.

PATHS INTERESTING FAN,
1t has Royal autographs and Many 9th
ers That Are Valuable

Some of the Partisan newspapers
say that Adelina Patti has an unique
fan fan with vellum leaves decorat-
ed with gold. On the leaves several
European sovereigns have written SEN
timents over their autographs.
The Gar wrote 60 Nothing brings
peace like your song"
William l., Emperor of Germany:
6 To the nightingale of all time.
Queen Christine ITO the Spani-
ard, Queen who is proud to count
the number of her subjects
Patti was born in Madrid in 1S43,
but her father and mother were Ital-
lans.
Queen Victoria wrote on the fan,
. If King Lear says truly, A sweet
voice is a precious gift to a woman"
you are, my dear Adelina, the richest
Of women"
The Emperor of Austria and the En-
press Elizabeth were content to afiix
their signatures, the Queen Of the
Belgians, with her royal hand, traced
the first lines of " II Baccio."
Theirs wrote "Queen of song letme
clasp thy hand" and signed himself
Monsieur Theirs, President of the
Republic"

Music In Machinery.

Engineers judge of the condition of
their machinery by the tone it gives out
while running. Every engine, whether
stationary or locomotive, has particular
tone OF its own; the engineer becomes
accustomed to that, and any departure
from it at once excites asuspicion that all
is not right. The engineer may not know
what is the matter, he may have no ear
for music, but the change in the tone Of
his machine will be instantly perceptible,
will be instantly reoogu lied, and will
start him on an immediat& investigation.

Considerable establishment was recently
excited over wide area in Sweden and
Russia, comprising the towns of Stock
holm, Pinsk, Koono and st. Petersburg,
by the appearance in the air and the
eventual deposit on the ground OF large
clouds Of powder of peculiar appearance.
This dust was analysed by a number Of
Swedish metallurgists, who have COM
municated the results of their investiga-
tions to the Stockholm Geological Soci-
ETY.. According to these scientists the
various samples contained numerous crys-
tails, together with magnetic iron ore
mica, metallic iron, and some diatoms.

Thefollowing is an impartial and very
moderate statement of the scope and
purpose of the Force bill, which dis
4racted the Fifty first Congress, and
alarmed the freemen of the United
States from ocean to ocean.
The country beheld defantly devel-
oped in the Fifty-irst Congress and in
the forms of proposed law the most
daring and desperate plot against the
liberties of the people that could posi-
bly be conceived. AT no time in the
history of English North America was
any assault upon the rights of free
election so direct and crushing as this
one, even contemplated by any gov
eminent. however distant or hostile
In all the controversies with the moth
err country the right of the colonies to
conduct their own elections for repre-
sentatives in their own assemblies re-
NAMED unassailed. The imperial gov
eminent sent among us very insolvent
agents, but they did not assume to
supervise the suffrages of the people
or to ascertain and certify results ac-
cording to their pleasure. 1t quartered
troops among some of the inhabitants,
but it never proposed to distribute
them to the polling places, or to put
them in platoons under the orders of a
multitude of Tory emissaries in the
pay Of Tory administration.
The Force bill, matured and urged in
the last Congress, with every prospect
of success. was certainly without par
allel in the ANIMAL of English-speaking
countries. 1t would have overthrow,
as it was intended it should, our entire
constitutional system, leaving but a
skeleton and mockery of the instItu-
tons our forefathers supposed they
had established for all time. 1t would
have erected stupendous political
machine, with almost unlimited means
of corruption and intimidation, paid
from the public funds and welding the
public forces, with arms reaching into
every election district and fingers into
every election precinct. and even into
every household. 1t would have faint
ed and prostituted the federal Judiciary,
assigning to it an unjudicial function,
and exacting from it participation in
the basest partisan service. 1t would
have quartered political party upon
the common treasury and betrayed its
campaign expenses from the proceeds
of the common taxation expenses
moderately estimated at S15. 100000
or 500, 1000 ,OOO..Chauncey F. Black

THE WAY TO SUCCESS.

A successful business man was
asked by Cincinnati Inquirer man
the other day the secret Of his success.
Well.n said he, sit is all due tosome
good advice given to me by an old
man when was boy. got out OF
a lob one time and went to my old
friend for sympathy and advise. lie
drew his chair up to NINE, and, TAX
ing one Of my hands closely IN his
own, said My boy, never be dis
couraged. Have some confidence IN
your own ability to tustie with the
world. Be independent. You must
be like a tramp that is in New York
and wants to get to Chicago. After
a good deal Of trouble he gets into a
freight train, near the engine, maybe.
He doesn't ride far before he is seen
and put off. Does the tramp give up9
No, he gets on in the middle Of the
train, and if put off again goes farther
back until at last he is put off the ca
boose. Then what does he do ? Why,
he simply waits for another train and
tries it over. Now, if you have little
troubles, just bide your time and crawl
back into favor. If your employer
should discharge you, that is no evil
dence that you have no ability or that
YOU cannot succeed. 1t may be the
best thing IN the world for you. Just
get into the next train and you will
get there all right sometime"

JUDGE Il. BOYD FAULKNER.

There have been but few men in this
county, perhaps. who have enjoyed the
respect and confidence of the communi-
ty accorded the subject of this notice
For years past he has moved in our
midst as a learned and accomplished
lawyer, unpretentious i'll his manner,
yet possessing personal magnetism
that is irresistible He bears an envia-
BILE reputation as public speaker, and
stands distinctively successful bust
ness man. His appointment to the
judgeship was but just tribute to the
merits of distinguished and deserving
citizen, while his discharge of the du-
ties of that high Office has demonstrat-
ed most clearly his peculiar fitness for
executive positions. Endowed with
all the qualifications of mind and per-
son that go to make up the high bred
gentleman, and possessed of that re-
nnement OF taste ana manner which
ever characterizes an accomplished
scholar, he will bring grace and digni-
ty to the bench of this circuit Nomi-
mated by reclamation by his own party
to succeed himself, and there being no
other candidate in the field, of course.
renders his election an assured thing.
Our republican friends paid him fit
ting compliment in their refusal to
make a nomination against him. 1t
is matter of surprise to many, how
ever, that Mr.. Faulkner would consent
to give up large and lucrative law
practice, with the political prospects
before him, to accept a position at
tended by so much labor and response
bility with so few emoluments. The
district will show its appreciation of
his sacrifice at the polls in November.

How to Hold n Pom.

The cramping of the hand from con-
slant use OF the pen can always be pre-
vented by charging the holder. Some
men prefer to wrap string around the
wood, but the best holder is made by get
sing bit OF rubber tubing at the nearest
rubber store and running the handle Of
the pen through it. 1t enlarges the holder
to the requisite size, and furnishes soft,
easy grasp, which cannot possibly distress
the muscles BY any amount Of use.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The two YES
sells for whose construction proposals,
were issued recently by the Navy De-
partment will make an important adj
dition to our naval feet. In armor
armament, and equipment these two
proposed ships will equal, if not sur
pass, any ships of similar type in exa
istence. Their fighting powers will be
of the first order and their great speed
will enable them to run away from
ship superior to them in fighting abili-
ty.
Fully equipped and ready for com
mission the two ships proposed to be
built will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 Congress, in the naval
appropriation OF the last session, au-
thorized the construction Of these YES
sells, but made no appropriation for
them The battleship will cost, ex-
elusive of armament, nearly 81, 900 900,
and the armored cruiser about the
same amount as her prototype, the

tic seaboard, will be recommended;
also school on shore. These schools
