Ths Lott Heart.

From the London World: The heart
of the great Marquis of Montrose"
was embalmed and presented by some
OF his admirers, who had possessed
themselves of it, to Lady Napier, the
wife of the marquis nephew, Lord
Napier, of Merchistoun, To whom he
had declared his desire that it should
be given.
IL was placed in n steel box about the
size of an egg, made out of the blade of
Montroses sword, which was placed in
gold filigree casket, while that in
turn was deposited in n silver urn. !.
This relic was lost or stolen while
Lady Napier was in Holland previous
10 the restoration. and the silver urn
was never recovered
But the heart i'm the steel box and
gold filigree casket was discovered in
curiosity shop at Antwerp or Amster-
dam, and. being returned To the
Napiers, continued in their possession
until 1t was presented by Lord Napier
10 one OF his daughters who had mar
ried Mr.. Johnston, who was In tho
Indian civil service, with whom she
went Ia India.
At Madura, in Madras, the station
where they resided, the heart, box and
casket were again stolen and were sold
as talisnan of enormous efficacy to a
native prince, the velli Murdoo, one Of
the feudltorles Of the Nabob OF Arcot.
From him they were again recovered
by the well known Sir Alexander John
ston, the son of Mr.. Johnston and Miss
Napier, and restored by him to them,
But in i702, his father and mother
being In France, and the revolutionary
government having requisitioned all
Ihe plate and iewelry in the country.
Montrose's heart, in its box and casket,
was confided To person named
Knowles, who resided ut Bologne, and
who undertook to conceal it until it
.ould be transmitted To England.
But before this could be done
knowles died, and what become OF
Montrose's heart nobody knows unto
this day.

THOUSANDS STARVING,
Great Suffering in Northern Louisiana..ti Help
Needed Immediately.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 1O.-Four thousand
people in Concordia and Cathoula par.
ishes, in the northern portion of Lou.
isiana, are on the verge of starvation.
Information received from that section
shows that the people are in pitiable
plight. and unless relief is given them
at once many deaths from starvation
will result. The floods of last summer
destroyed their crops and the water re.
mained on the earth so long that Il
was not possible to plant cotton or any.
thing else beyond some quickly matur-
ing vegetables. The people bore up
bravely as long as possible without ap-
pealing to the outside world for assist
ance. Hundreds moved away, hut
thousands were unable to leave. Those
remaining have subsisted during the
winter on wild game, but as much
game has been destroyed they have
nothing to keep body and soul together.
The presidents of the different ex.
changes in Memphis, vicksburg and
New Orleans have called meetings OF
their organizations to raise funds foy
the sufferers. The New Orleans board
of trade heads the dist with 5000.

TO BE AN ISSUE.


The Idaho Senate has put to
sleep by indefinite postponement the
bill 10 create the county Of Lake
out of portion of Bear Lake county,
thus dashing 10 earth the high hopes
and aspirations of horde Of hungry
office hunters who had hoped To
feed from the public crib But
they are not the only ones doomed
to disappointment, for there does
not seem to be probability or pos
sibility of there being new county
formed during the present session,
for the Democrats and populists
both declare they will not cast a
vote i'm that direction unless the
people can choose by election their
own county officers. 1t is intended
to make IT an issue during the cam
paign of 1894. and the Republicans
will find it about the hardest propo-
sition TO combat they have yet en-
conntered. The American people
have been taught from infancy that
the public officers should hold their
trusts by the votes of electors and
not from the dictnm of any ont
man. Any deviation from this rule
will be regarded as blow aimed al
nj the electors If the State.

COUNTY WARRANTS.

There is bill pending be fore the
legislature making county warrants
receivable for taxes. To have pass
cd il as originally introduced would
have had the tendency Of seriously
embarrassing some counties that
have large amounts Of such obliga-
tions outstanding, and the effect
might have been TO deprive them Of
all available cash. Monday last an
amendment was adopted in the
house making it unlawful for the
collector to take warrants, in pay
ment for taxes, that had not been
received from the county by the
person who offered them in liquida-
lion Of such claim. Even this is
subject to serious objection. If war
rants command cash value Of but
twenty-five cents ON the dollar the
person furnishing supplies or per-
forming service regulates and IL
allowed his charges proportionately
to the worth of the script in market.
and thus obtains an advantage over
other taxpayers. The bill has pass
ed the house, but ii is not likely to
meet with So much consideration in
the senate. Most counties in the
State are not at present in condi-
ton To run chances of any expert
mental legislation. They have the
interests on bonds to pay as well as
other demands that require cash,
instead of promises TO pay, and the
amount of prospective receipts
should be matter that can be com
puted with a great degree of Ger
tainty.
