TAYLOR'S SOFT SNAP.

G. H. j. Taylor, our colored minister
to Bolivia, said the other day to Kan
sas city reporter: "My appointment, or
rather reappointment by President Cleve-
land. will be confirmed by the senate
which cOnvenes two weeks from next
Monday. l am home now on instruc
tions from the president to settle my
business affairs preparatory to leaving
the United States the early part of De
cember will go around Cape Horn to
get to Bolivia and with my party will be
carried by United States man of war.
When l take up my official duties l will
be the first negro minister plenipOtentia-
nv in the world, and it is an honor that
the entire negro race appreciates and the
credit goes to President Cleveland, who
gave me the place without my asking for
it. The United States is the only gov
eminent that maintains diplomatic rela-
tions with Bolivia and that is done to
encourage trade and commerce with that
country, and this fact knocked out the
objection to my appointment on the
ground of my race. The only objection
could be raised is that l might not be
able to perform the duties attached to it.
President Cleveland and myself are sat
listed that | can do it and the fact that
my appointment will become precedent
makes me all the more jealous"
Taylor here stopped to recover his
breath and his dignity which he always
carries with corpulent ease, and then he
added: Il was never in doubt that
would be appointed to the place, for I
had the presidents assurance. The
story that 1 was after the place Of assist
ant secretary of agriculture was pure
fabrication. never applied for it at
all.''
Returning to the subject of the Boliv-
ian mission, Taylor SAID, while looking
drought pile of papers: II shall have
the appointment of an Interpreter, a sec
rotary at 81, 800 per year, an assistan,
secretary at 81, cooper year and a messen
ger. There is an appropriation of $1,000
a year for expenses, including rent, fuel
and other incidentals.''

A peculiar election bet was won on
Judge Maynard's defeat by Arthur T.
Sullivan of New York city. Some days
before the election he promised to pay
$50 to j. S. Page in case of Mayna1d's
election, provided Page would agree TO
give him cents for every vote in Bart
let's plurality. The wager was taken
and, as Bartlett's plurality was $4,000,
Mr.. Page was indebted in the sum Of

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The defeat in the house of the bill to
allow the State Normal School at Rock
College to admit women teachers is some
what of surprise.
The object of the bill was sim ly to
allow female teachers to have the benefit
of the summer course of instruction there
the money to keep it being donated by
DR.. Curry, trustee of the Peabody fund.
Last summer an interesting session
was held and women teachers were adj
mitted, as well as those perfecting them
selves to teach. Some of the instructors
were ladies, but the state school com
missioner was uncertain about again adj
hitting ladies, and therefore the bill
was introduced.
1t was Ia great surprise that the bill
should meet with any opposition, as it
IS only meant to give women teachers an
equal showing with male teachers, and
especially Jas the women constitute two
thirds of the public school teachers of
the state.
Dr. Curry has given 1880 to keep the
school open again next summer. 1t is
not known what effect the action of the
house will have on the gift, bu5 it is
likely Or. Curry expected all of the
teachers benefit of the summer course of
instruction.

SIR RICHARD OWENS GHOST STORY.

1t Was FEaFfuIly Real to the Ran Who Saw
the Severed Head Rolling Ia.
The late Sir Richard Owen used to re-
late remarkable ghost story. In his
early days; when he held the post Of sur
geon to the prison at Lancaster, o negro
died in Jail, and a postmortem as well as
an inquest was necessary. After the in
quest the young surgeon saw the@body
put in the coffin and the lid screwed
down, to be ready for the funeral next
day, Owen had at the time been already
attracted to the study of comparative
anatomy, and negroes heads were not
plentiful, so he made up his mind thai
this one should not be lost to the cause
of science. In the evening he returned
to the prison with black bag contain
ing brick-from his official position he
had no difficulty in getting admittance
to the mortuary, where the coffin lid was
unscrewed and screwed down again.
During this process the brick and the
negro's head changed places.
The ground outside the principal eD
trance to the Jail has @ considerable de-
scent, and the time being winter, with
snow and frost, Owen had scarcely passed
out when he slipped and fell all his length
the bag went from his hand, and the
head tumbled out and rolled down the
paved way. He got up, caught the bag,
and following the head clutched it just
as it finished it's career in small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing it into
the bag again, he vanished out of the
shop with all the speed he was capable of.
Next morning, when Owen was going
to his usual duties at the prison, he was
called in by the woman at the shop where
the accident had occurred on the previous
evening. She wished him to see her hus-
band, who was very i'll. He had had, she
said, fright the night before that caused
him to look wild and dazedlike. Theman,
it turned out, was retired sea captain
who had been in many adventures among
the West India islands when many deeds
were done that did not at that time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among these
had been the killing of negro in which
he had hand, and the transaction had
left touch of trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old captain
told of the horrible event that took place
the night before.
He was sitting in his shop. All was
quiet, and it so CHANGED that he had been
thinking of the negro. when suddenly he
saw his very head roll into the shop in
front of the counter, and it was followed
blythe devil all in black, with a black bag
in his hand. The devil snatched up the
head, and both disappeared through the
earth like q fash of. lightning. The de-
scription was perhaps not quite compli-
mentary to the young anatomist, but it
was satisfactory SO far thatit showed that
his identity had not been recognized

The Hauteur Of English Servants.

get on charningly with the English
nobility and sufficiently well with the
gentry, but the upper servants strike
terror to my soul. There is something
awe inspiring to me about an English
butler, particularly one in imposing
livery. When I call upon Lady de Wolfe,
say to myself impressively as l go up
the steps: ''You are as good as butler,
as well born and well bred as butler,
even more Intelligent than a butler
Now, simply because he has an unap-
proachable hautiness Of demeanor, which
you can respectfully admire, but can
never hope to initiate, Go not cover be-
meath the polar light Of his eye; assert
yourself; be woman; be an American
citizen!" All in vain.
The moment the door opens l ask fer
Lady de Wolfe in so timid tone that
know Parker thinks me the parlor maids
sister, who has rung the visitors bell by
mistake. If my lady is within, follow
Parker to the drawing room, my knees
shaking under me at the prospect Of
committing some solecism in his sight.
Lady dc Wolfe's husband has been no.

course knows it and perhaps affects
even greater hauteur to divert the atten-
ton Of the vulgar commoner from the
newness of the title.-Kate D. Wiggin

Town of RendSVille.

At a meeting of the Rendsville AL
lance held Feb. %, 1893, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That we do not approve,
but we severely condemn the action
of the board of county commissioners
and F. W. Heller in particular, "a man
who poses as an Alliance man and a
reformer in the expenditure of public
money!, in voting to raise the salary
of the superintendent of schools-in
giving away the peoples money. We
say give away, because at last election
when there were three candidates
looking for the Office, there was no
complaint on account of salary, though
the present incumbent knew we'll how
much he was then getting. Such &C
ton on the part of an Alliance officer
is contrary to Alliance doctrine.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be published in the Morris
papers.

Ganr 10 Death.

Tho way the thing happened was this:
Our section lad been fighting it alone in
peach orchard until the other members
of the battery joined rs. when we moved
forward and had quite brisk engage
ment with tie enemy. Our ammunition
expended and our men worn out, we
halted at spot in the woods to rest and
to replenish our ammunition.
The lighting was going on all around
us, and stray bullets were coming along
past us every now and then. don't be-
ieye was ever SO tired in my life as !
was after that engagement. 1t was alb
solutely necessary for me to take a rest,
and perceiving a huge tree near by
concluded to plant myself along side Of
it. So / leaned against it with my back
to the enemy's line, stretched out my
feet and was havinga splendid rest when
12-pound shot came bounding along
and struck the tree plumb on the oppo-
site side from me and at point just be-
hind my head.
Well, sir, didn't know what struck
me. The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusalem! But didn't run from under
that tree, looking sideways up and ex-
pecting momentarily to see the whole
enormous mass of wood and leaves come
crashing down on me. didn't know
what had happened till Isaw some of the
boys dancing around in high delight,
clapping their hands and yelling at me.

The Announcement ofLeanes.

The general arrangement Of the leaves
on limbs and stalks Of trees and plants
secures between each sufficient space to
prevent one leaf from interfering with
another. And not only are leaves SO ar
ranged as to exist independently of each
other, but in q general way they have
taken upon themselves the forms best
adapted to secure the maximum of SUM-
light as it is showered upon them in diff
ferent ATTITUDES. at the equator, where
the suns rays are vertical, we find large
fiat leaves, like those Of the banana,
plantain and the various species of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine
"needles" are founds Then, again, note
the popularity of the Australian gum
tree-instead Of exposing their broad
faces to the sun the edges only are so
turned. Were it otherwise the sun
would rob them Of all their moisture, it
being well known fact that the gum
tree grows in the driest region on earth.

Theodore Hooks INDECENT Daughter.

"By a curious coincidence" says an
English Journal, attention has been
called to the existence, in very poor cir
cumstances, of an aged daughter Of
Theodore Hook, just at time when
proposal is on foot to commemorate the
brilliant humorist by a stained glass
window in the porch of Fuiham church,
in the pretty Gods acre Of which he
lies buried. Hooks only surviving child
has, alas fallen on evil days, and at up
ward of 70 years of age finds herself IN
sorely Strengthened circumstances.
ut is not, happily, our custom to allow
the children of those who have won
fame to suffer unaided the penalties OF
unavoidable misfortune, and it may be
taken for granted that the same spirit OF
respect for a distinguished name which
has led to the collection of funds for the
memorial window and for the restora-
ton Of the famous writer's tomb will
secure material help to his daughter III
her poverty and old age So far as he
odore Hook himself is concerned, we
may be quite sure that no posthumoUs
honor that could be offered to him would
compara-could he but know OF it-with
the timely aid which is asked for his in.
digent and almost friendlcss daughter.
