The express robbery at kendallvil!e,
lad, Tuesday morning, pales into inSig-
iificance the exploits of the western
banditsi. Occurring under the shadows
of the great city of Chicago the sup
position is that the robbers will be ap-
pretended and captured in short order,
but it is doubtful that it will be done as
expediiiously and completely as was
done in the case thas occurred In this
city few weeks ago. The United
States Express Co., seems 10 lie the
special meat of The robbers and it may
find 1t necessary TO maintain an armed
guard with treasure shipments as mat
Ter of self defence. While the full
amount of the last loss is not stated il
is no doubt sufficient to pay the expense
of a competent body guard on that run
for year at least.

A curious box was recently found
amidst the ruins Of Pompeii- The box
was marble or alabaster. about two
inches square and closely sealed.
When opened It was found TO be full of
n pomatum or grease. hard but very
fragrant The smell somewhat re-
sembled that OF roses, but was
much more fragrant What the per-
fume was made of cannot be conjec-
tured now, but it is singular that men
in the nineteenth century should no
able to regale their noses with perfume

"Whom the Gods would destroy they
first make mad" The English house of
lords, largely made up of hereditary
dudes, vetoed the viii of the English
people by killing the Gladstone home
rule bill. The house of lords by that act
is doomed. The English people blindly
worship aristocracy and idolize their
great fat good natured Dutch Queen,
still the English people are willful to
bulIheadedness and Mr.. Hairpin Lord
Lad better look out.

Personal Interest Above Party.
From the Kansas City Gazette.
At recent meeting of the Democratic
employees of large manufacturing es-
adjustment in the east, it was decided
to send delegation to Washington to
protest against any lowering of the
duties on the goods manufactured by
them. 1t was expressly stated that the
employers were not consulted or in
cluded. The movement was confined to
the WOrkmeu.

POPS GO IN STYLE.
From the Leavenworth Times.

From the Leavenwortl Times.
The Populist state officials started to
Chicago Sunday in great style. They
went free in a special train of Pullman
palace cars over the Rock Island, with
tie western passenger agent in attend
ance. Many people wonder how it is
that the heads of a party who profess to
be SO inimicaI to railroads should receive
such favors from them. Possibly the
fact that the state toard cut the Rock
Islands assessment down $17S, 000 had
something to do with it. l. may be that
it had not, but it is just possible that it
had.

The indications are that most of the

that the Indians allowed allottments in

been five years in. its history when it
paid off SO many debts, as during the

A Mule With q Record.

FREpR1cLsBURa, VA, May 20.-Mr.
Philip S. Honey, a former, who lives In
Stafford county, a few miles from this
city, is an ardent Confederate and still
the proud owner of the mule, now thirty
eight years old, he rode all through the
war, as member of the Ninth Virginia
Cavalry.
He traded horse for this mule soon
after entering the army, when the mule
was seven yeaas old, and from that time
until the close of the war he and his faith
full beast shared many harships, They
were together at the boz ,s Of Gettys-
burg, Cedar mountain, Brandy Station,
Charlottesville, Wilderness, Richmond,
Petersburg, stoney Creek and other en-
gagements of less prominence, and sur
rendered at Appomattox. The mule
shows the marks of time; but notwith-
standing her advanced age, is still strong
and active and eats we'll. She does light
work regularly, but is blind in one eye,
and some Of her teeth are gone.
There is no question as to the identity
of this mule. That is thoroughly estab-
lished, and the animal and its owner, be-
tween whom there exists strong at
tachment, have been objects of interest
to the people of this section for years.
An effort is being made to induce Mr..
Honey to take the mule to Richmond by
rail and ride her in the parade when the
remains of Jefferson Davis, the dead
Presiden. Of the Confederacy, will be in
TERED in beautiful Hollywood cemetery
of that city, May 2lst.
There has also been some talk of tax
ing the mule to Chicago and exhibiting
her in tent during the Worlds Fair,

Refused a Pardon.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, May 15.-Robert
Robinson, better known as "Old Bob," q
life convict in the Northern Prison, died
Friday night al the age Of 80. Robinson
was notorious throughout all the north
ern part OF Indiana among the thousands
of excursionists who annually visit the
prison as perhaps the first one on record
who positively refused O pardon, and
regarded the prison as an acceptable
home.
Robinson was sent to the prison at
Jeffersonville, Ind, in 1857, from Wayne
County to serve life sentence for MUIR
der. After serving two years there he
was transferred with others to this city
to assist in building the Northern Prison.
After this labor was finished he worked
on contracts until he grew cid and then,
during the wardenship Of the late Charles
Mayne in the seventies, he became a
'trusty" and farm hand. AS he advanc-
ed in age his oddities grew upon him.
Early in his prison career be formed
strong attachment for dumb animals and
made pets of dogs, rabbits, squirrels and
foxes. He also developed into great
hunter and trapper, and would frequently
turn his skill to financial account. Once
during the Mayne regime Bob got lost
while hunting In Porter County, west OF
the city, and actually hired man to
bring him-ba to prison.
In 1877 Governor Williams offered
Robinson pardon, but the prisoner re-
jected it. Another time, when James
Murdoch, of Lafayette, was warden eight
or ten years ago, Bob's conduct was par
ticularly disagreeable, and the warden
threatened to have him pardoned upon
the occasion of certain visit of the
Governor to the prison. When the Gov
ernor arrived Old Bob became so indig-
nant that he called his dog and went to
the woods until the executive had depart
ed.
Bob never missed circus that came To
town. On such occasions he enshrouded
himself in long, heavy ulster to conceal
his stripes, and notwithstanding the
high temperature. the man extracted his
full measure of enjoyment from the show
1t was only when be was particularly
pleased that he would speak in Other
than monosyllables. but when any one
talked circus or dog to him he would be
affability itself.
The dead prisoner had outlived all his
known relatives, and the funeral viii! be
held at an undertaking room in this Lity
The service will be public, and will be
conducted by the prison chaplain. The
prisoner left about $50, which he secured

COLUMBIA, May 22.-It is understood
that the South Carolina and Richmond&
Danville roads will in few days file their
suits against the sheriffs for tying-up
their trains during the recent tax fight.
The Richmond g. Danville will make its
damages for $33, 900 and the South Caro-
lima road for $4,000. 1t is asserted that
these figures are based on the actual loss
es of the roads by the holding of their
trains. Mr., Crawford, the special lawyer
engaged In these cases, will probably en-
ter the suits. He went to Charleston
this afternoon in company with Receiver
Oakman. They will 60 from Charleston
to Atlanta, where the fight for the remov-
al Of Receiver Conner is to be made. At
torney General Townsend has not yet re-
ceived any intimation about the damage
suits and thinks that the railroads had
better get through with their other cases
before they begin on new tack.
Sheriff Nance has not yet paid his fine
to the Court, and the Court will no doubt
in few days order an execution against
him OF his official bond. Governor TILL
man does not expect to give the record
breaking sheriff any financial assistance
and be will have to help himaelf out Of

An appeal to the cotton planters of the
South to "reduce the cotton acreage" this
year was made by the Cotton Dealers
Convention held in Memphis. A similar
appeal was made last year, and also the
year before but not one Of these sue
cessive appeals has been needed by the
planters. From the cotton crop report
of the department ofagriculture for May
we get information about this years
planting.
The acreage planted up to the opening
of this month IN eleven of the Southern
States was well up to the average of pre-
vious years, and the acreage was in
creased in six OF the States, The plant
ers everywhere appear to be willing,
year after year, to take the risks Of a sur
plus crop and q falling market. In the
appeal Of the Memphis Convention they
we're reminded of the low prices that
prevailed during the greater part of last
year, and of the ever-increasing compe-
tition between the cotton planters of this
country and those of other countries
They were also urged to raiee their own
supplies of cereals, meats and hay In
stead of buying them in the Northwest
But these cotton planters continue to
plant all they can, in the belief that they
understand their own interests, and in
the knowledge that 1t 10 not easy to make
those changes which have been repeated
ly suggested by the dealers.-Naw York
