After attending school at Ann ArbOr
he returned to New York and was
graduated from Union College with
high honors.
When % yeass old Mr.. Morton went
to Nebraska to assume the editorship
of the Nebraska City News. He and
his wife began housekeeping on a
quarter section of land. To them were
born four sons. He was twice elected
TO the territorial legislature, and in
1858 became the acting governor of
Nebraska. He was nominated for
governor of the new State in 1866 by
the democrats. The campaign was a
hot one, but he was defeated. Mrs.
Morton begged him to refuse to run
for Office again and he complied with
her request until after her death in
1881.
The next year he ran for governor
| on tariff-refOrm platform and was
| defeated. Two years. later he was
| again candidate and received double
| the number of votes cast for him in
| the previous campaign. Last year he
was fourth time the candidate of his
| party for the same office and made {
| spirited but unsuccessful campaign.
For years, at what he calls ArbOl
| Lodge, Mr.. Morton has had under cul
1 tivation the finest orchards in the
! State and he has been the champion
| of all movements for the preservation
of the forests.
Though Mr.. Morton is about 60 years
. old he has the vigor of man of 80
His frame is very large and he bear
n close resemblance to Governor Boie
or Iowa, who refused the portfolio Mr.
Morton has accepted.

was candidate for attOrney-g general
of Massachusetts, only when the NOM
nation was a mere compliment ms
party being in hopeless minority.
He has, however, served one term in
the lower house of the Massachusetts,
legislature.
He was born in Oxford, Mass, Sept.
10, 1885, and was graduated from
Brown university in the class of '56.
He studied at the Harvard law school
and entered the law office Of Judge
Benz. F. Thomas in Boston in 1888.
In his chosen profession he advanced
rapidly. He was for many years coun-
sci for the Eastern Railroad Company
and after the consolidation he was re-
tanned as counsel for the Boston and
Maine, a position which he still holds.
He is also counsel for the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroads. He
has twice declined place on the su-
preme bench of the State, and it is
said that he has invariably supported
the Democratic ticket except when
General Butler was the candidate for
governor, when he 'bolted with en-
phasis.n Socially he and his family
are well equipped for the position
they will be called on to fill in Wash
ington. 1t is also pleasing fact that
though his selection was quite unex-
pected it is warmly approved by New
England congressman, and it now
transpires that his name was urged
upon President Cleveland for the place
of Chief Justice of the United States
at the time Judge Fuller was APP
pointed.

cepted the portfolio of agriculture, was

A TRANSPORTATION.
DR.. Trousseau's Napfha Launch
Made Over Into Il Sjo0p.

The naptha launch formerly the
property of DR. Trousseau has been
transformed into a sloop. 1t will
be remembered that an expensive
boiler was built for the little steam
er, but the owners changed their
minds and sold the vessel to Mr..
John Ena for $500 An order came
from Mr.. Waller to fix the vessel
up for use as a missionary vessel
to ply among the Tahitian group,
but the order was. countermanded
later. The steamer was converted
into a trim-looking sloop by ship
wrights at the |. l. S. n. Co.'s boat
shop. A new deck house has been
built, and beneath it is q roomy
cabin capable of comfortably ac-
commodating over twenty people.
The builder remarked that the boat
had cost over $4,000 during the
various transformations from a nap
tina launch to a steamer, and then
again into sloop yacht. The YES
sci is now almost ready for launch

THE KING OF BEASTS.
He Is Merely Big Cat, After All, and .
Coward at Heart.


Coward at Heart.
If we quit heraldry for fact and go by
the testimony of travellers and hunters,
it is very doubtful whether the lion de-
serves his magnificent reputation. It is
his appearance, no doubt, which has
gained for him the appellation of liking
of beasts" with all the regal honor per-
tanning to it. Certainly he looks every
inch king" Nothing can be finer. The
fancy itself could conceive nothing more
ffttingly representative of majesty than
the full grown male lion, gazing with
great yellow eyes, which seem to know
no fear, and the ample honors of his
shaggy name wrapped round his massive
front and forearms. He looks like the
embodiment by nature Of loneliness and
magnanimity, and he has been adopted
as such in all literature and poetry from
Homer and AZschylus down to the Lion
comique" Of our music halls. Yet he is
only cat--a great cat-after all, and
those who know him in his native wilds
give a very different character Of ''felis
leo from popular conceptions.
We do not wish to calumniate crea-
ture SO intimately connected with Brit
ish story and so dignifed in bearing and
behavior, for nobody can deny that the
lion is a great gentleman in his manners.
Nevertheless, African sportsmen relate
that he can show himself as cowardly as
he is cruel; that he will abandon his
cOnsort and cubs in a moment Of eX-
treme danger, and that he scarcely ever
charges straight home upon anybody
who, armed or unar1aed, has the pres
ence Of mind TO await his onset. He is
described as very nervous and very cum
ming, ana dreading beyond everything
the superior proves of the white man.
The early Dutch settlers at the cape
speak Of lions proving round the fort
at night in such numbers as though
they would take it by storm" Now one
must 90 very far into the African
''veldt' to see q lion, and strange fact
is that he has learned the craft # silence
and is seldom or never head u LIT up
his mighty voice except in the far wilder
ness, where the hunters have not come
except singly. Thus 1T is written in an
African guidebook: Though his foot
prints may frequently be seen near the
mountains of Lokaron and Boatlanama
and he will sometimes venture to carry
away an OK from a wagon span there
abouts, he rarely or never makes his
presence known by his roar, having
learned apparently that it will only have
the effect Of frightening off the few timid
antelopes upon which all hopes Of re-
plenishing his larder depend, or, worse
still, Of betraying his position to his in
veterate enemy and prosecutor, m..l.'-

India. is in the region of the famous
Golconda diamond fields. Three centu-
ries ago hordes of robbers-at one time
an army of 10000 of them-descended
there. and the inhabitants, many OF
whom were afterward killed, hastily
buried all their treasures. The literature
of India is full of references to this de-
scent of robbers on Golconda.
"The rate of exchange today between
the United States and India is about
three rupees TO dollar, and some years
ago a rupee was valued at a United States
half dollar. The suffering among fami
lies of officers and soldiers of the British
army in India was some time ago SO
great, owing to the depreciation of sill
yer, that the government made up the
difference to them. While silver is the
currency of India, the people also use a
currency of shells. Two hundred of
these shells are in value equal to our
cent, and yet these people manage to live
and trade with such currency!

Do Swans sing Before They Dieq


The story that tells Of swans singing
before death is very old, and of course is
founded upon fancy. The idea has been
brought down from ancient myths. The
voice of the swan is extremely harsh
and disagreeable, without a single mu-
steal note in it, and no good reason can
be found for likening some Of the worlds
sweetest poets to this unmelodious voiced
fowl.
The only approach to verifcation
we have ever seen is the following,
clipped some years ago from a Virginia
newspaper:
"a sporting friend, recently returned
from foray upon the Potomac river,
below Mount Vernon, was the guest of a
venerable and highly intelligent lady,
who has always lived on the Potomac.
Speaking Of the swan, she gave it as her
decided opinion that this bird was in the
habit of singing or making a plaintiye
noise when dying. The reason she gave
for entertaining this belief was that on
very many occasions in the last 90 years
she had been awakened at night by a
sweet and exceedingly sad noise some
thing like the tones of fageolet coming
over the water, and that on every sub.
sequent morning a dead swan was found
to be floating on the water or to have
been washed ashore, Pittsburg Dis

In answer to a correspondent a news

In answer to a correspondent news
paper says: 1.-The deluge mentioned in
the Bible was threatened in the year
1855 B. c., and began on Dec. Z, 1856 B.
c., and continued 377 days. The ark
rested on Mount Ararat on May 6, 1866,
but Noah did not leave it until Dec. IS
following" Any reader who imagines
that it would be an easy task to figure
these details from Biblical account can
find basis for his calculations in the
seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis.
