The Brussels Conference.

Several friends of silver coinage in
the Senate claim that they have had
positive assurance from President
Cleveland that he will send delega-
ton to Brussels in May to represent
the United States at the International
Monetary Conference, and that he has
already taken steps to notify the va
rious nations taking part that our
government will be pleased to have
them again represented. Allison and
Teller are reported as having received
these assurances, and it is not i'm
probable that Teller will take the
place Of Of Jones, Of this State, as the
representative Of the free silver re-
publicans on the delegation from this
country. Allison has refused posi-
tivoly to return to Brussels and
Jones does not desire to 20.
The President will designate a
Democrat in accord with his views on
the silver question to take the place of
Allison. Among the names men,
toned as his possible choice arc Ed
ward Simmons, a prominent New
York banker, ex-Controller w. L.
Trenholm and ex-Secrotary FAIR

A Trying Ordeal.

Authentic reports were received at

About noon, Monday, March 18th,
Mr.. Watti's horse slipped on the Ice
and fell on him breaking one leg and
badly injuring one arm. Being alone
on wild mountain trail he startad
to drag himself to Mr.. Addington's
hay ranch, which was fourteen miles
distance, where he arrived Thursday
noon in pitiful condition. He was
more dead than alive when he was
discovered as he had been without
food and wuter for three days and
nights and the weather was cold and
stormy most Of the time.
His hands and knees were bruised
and swollen and bloody trail was
loft to tell the terrible fate of his
lonesome travel of fourteen miles in
three days. tine. Owing to the long
distance to Geographic facilities it
was impossible to get medical aid to
his assistance until Saturday morn
ing. There is strong hopes OF his re-
covery after one ot the most trying
ordeals that a human being could
suffer. Mr.. Watti says that a pack
OF bowling coyotes followed him near
ly all the way and gave him warning
that they were ready to devour him
at q moments notice, and the awful
thoughts of such a death gave him
more courage to hurry on his painful
journey.-Reno Journal.

o. X. is a popular American abbre-
Walton meaning "all right" used not
only in current talk but in serious bust
ness, as in the marking of documents,
etc. 1t is plausibly held by the Brook
Ign Eagle that in early colonial days
the best rum and tobacco were inn
ported from Aux Cages, in San Domin-
go. Hence the best of anything came
to be known locally as Aux Cages or O.
X. The term did not, however, pass
into general use until the presidential
campaign of 1898, when the very much
supposed illiteracy of Andrew jackson,
the democratic candidate, was the stock
in trade of his wing opponents. Seba
Smith, the humorist, writing under the
name of Major Jack Downing" started
the story that Jackson indorscd his pa
pers o. X, under the impression that thew
formed the initials of "Oil Korrcct." It
Is not impossible that the general did
use this Endorsement and it was used bv
other people also. But Mr. Parton dis
covered in the records of the Nashville
court, of which Jackson was Judge be-
fore he became president, numerous
documents Endorsed o. r., meaning or
der recorded. He urges, therefore, that
it was n record of that court with some
belated business which Major Jack
Downing saw on the desk of the prcsi-
dental candidate. However this may
be, the democrats, in lieu of denying the
charge, adopted the letters o. X. as n
sort of party cry and fastened them on
their banners.

DICKENS LEARNING THE POLKA.

Ho Would Practice Gravely In - Corner
Without Music or Partner.
"My father insisted that my sister
Katie and 1 should teach the polka
step to him and Mr.. Leech," writes
Mamie Dickens in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "My father was as much in
earnest about learning to take that
wonderful step correctly as though
there was nothing of greater impor-
lance in the world. Often he would
practice gravely in a corner without
either partner or music, and I rcmem-
Der one cold winters night his awaken

the step so strong upon him that, jump

he was once more secure in his knowl-
edge.
mo one can imagine our excitement
and nervousness when the evening came
on which we were to dance with our
pupils. Katie was to have Mr.. Lecch,
who was over six feet tall, for her part
ncr, while my father was to be mine.
My heart beat so fast that could scarce
~ breathe, was so fearful for the sue
cess OF our exhibition. But my fears
were groundless, and we were greeted
Mt the finish of our dance with q hearty
applause which was more than com
pcnsation for the work which had been
expended upon its learning.
MY father was certainly not what in
the ordinary acceptation of the term
would be called good dancer" 1
doubt whether he had ever received
any instruction in "the noble art" other
than that which my sister and I gave
him. In later years remember trying
to teach him the schottische, n dance
which he particularly admired and de-
sired to learn. But, although he was
SO fond of dancing, except at family
gatherings ut his own or his most init
mate friends houses, never remember
seeing him participate"

TAKING THE HUSBANDS NAME.
Tho Custom Originated with tho Ancient
Romans.

Romans.
The pracrice of the wife assuming the
husbands name ut marriage, it is said,
originated from q Roman custom, and
became the common custom after the
Roman occupation.
Thus Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey and Octnvia Of
Cicero, and, in later times, married
women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of."
Against this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth and even at
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury the usage seems doubtful, since
we find Catherine Parr SO signing her
self after Ghc had been twice marricd,
and we always hear of Lady Jane Grey
mot Dudley and Arabclla Stuart (not
Seymour.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the S3riptural teach
ing that husband and wife GRO one.
1t was decided in the case of Bon vi.
Smith, in tho reign of Elizabeth, that n
woman by marriage loses her former
name and legally receives the name of
her husband.
