How He Swnre or Smoking.

Until 1883 General Butler smoked a
great deal, says the Boston Globe. In
the fall of 1882 he confiled to his pri-
vate secretary that he thought the habit
OF smoking had grown on him to-
strongly, and he was beSinning to think
his will might tie weak Mug.
On the day after the first of January,
1888. he sent for his private secretary
to come into the Executive Chamber of
thu State House. The private sccre-
tary came and seated himself at the
desk that he usually occupied.
Hand me that paper-weight, sail
the Governor, pointing to q heavy glass
weight on the desk.
1t was done. and then Governor But
Ter quizZically inspected the private
secretary's desk at long range, and said
in TIE low grumble which was charac-
teristic of him.

there?"

secretary.
"Well, l don't want you to throw any

that l would smoke no more while

This resolution, as everybody knows

Sunk Several Feet.

The other night Ito eoplc OF s,nes nte.

the rocking OF the houses and loud rum
blinSs undergrou. d Walls split, ceilings
fell foundations sunk and roofs fell. AS
the inhabitants fed T. the streets they
found large rents in The gro uId and were
almost ove-comc by n ,Nit us vaporS Every
body supposed that the tosn was being
shaken by an earthquake. and as the
rumbling continued hundreds fed In a
panic to the Iearcst towns. A few re-
manned tchind to remove their fur n;ture
from the falling houses. Soldiers and citi-
zens worked for two hours in moving the
most valuable roperty from the louses
and in erecting tents in the fields about a
mile outside the town for the women and
children. At the end OF that time the
rumbling had ceased and investigation
was made In the town by the commander
of the troops and several citizens. They
found that the ground on which sand
gate stan Is had sunk several feet. and
a less subsistence had cXten led throughout
the surrounding district. affecting In all
about a square mile The gas mains had
teen broke n and the connection OF water
pipes had been disturbed so that supplies
of both gas and water had been stopped.
Many cottages had been wrecked COM
pletely, and the better built houses had
been cracked and thrown ont OF plumb so
that they could not lie occupied with safety.
The phenomena were repeated several
times during the day and the town Is now
practically deserted. The cause OF the
subsidence IS unexplained. No lives were
lost.

Another Mans Legs.

At the Capitol in Baton Rouge is a
portrait of Zachary Taylor with which
is connected an amusing reminiscence.
While General Howard, the author Of
Taylor's recent Life, was looking at
the picture, an old resident said to him:
Why, SIR. that is Zachary Taylor's
head and body, with another mans
legs.'
How is that, my friend:"
oh, the old e ntleman would not sit
as a model. When he little thought
what was being done, the artist sketched
his heal and body, but as the Gen
eral declared he could not afford the
time for further operations, the painter
was obliged to finish with another man. :"
The result is said to be fairly good
1t is a well-executed picture, though the
face is neither SO firm nor SO strong as
that of other portraits. and the figure is

the law chair at Palo Alto University.
There has been considerable doubt a, to
whether Mr.. Harrison would go to talifor-

his practice of law in indianapolis He
would probably have adhered to this nten-
tion had not domestic Affections changed
his plans The annual trip to California
will be pleasant diversion for him. and
as his time there will not be spent
in idleness. the place he has ac-
ccptel will be particularly pleasing. lie
will go to California in October to deliver
his course and 1t is expected that he will
spend some time in sightseeing. His
salary has not been maze public, but it
will be large enough to save him from
working if he is not so disposed. Senator
Stanford was greatly pleased when he re-
