AFTER THE STEEL PLATES.
Demand Made For the Warrants and
 Ensravings by an 0ncer.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. Especial Off, cer W. J. Burns of the secret service bureau at Washington called on Gov. Stone and demanded the steel plates from which $200,0 ,000 of Mississippi special warrants were issued, and also the warrants made'from the plates. The governor replied that the plates were not then and never had been in his pos session, but were in the custody of w. ". Stone, auditor of public accounts; that he was satisfied the auditor would refuse his demand and in such action would be sustained by him.
 Officer Burns then called on the audi tor of public accounts and made the aame demand, which was likewise re- fused.
 Burns was acting under instructions of the United States district attorney at St. Louis. The plates and specimens made after they were cancelled were wanted there, it is supposed, to use as evidence the officers of which were ar rested Tuesday.
 Burns, who has been here for the last week working up evidence in the case, will wait other instructions before talk ing further action.

 Sot long after he had seated him. solf a rather pretty girl who wore q mink Waiste and had nice red cheeks aua clear. blue eyes, and who looked fo be not over r, came and sat down ,ext to him. The man who was waiting for his wife took a eausnal look at the girl and went back to his paper
 Pretty soon ans ther pretty girl, who also wore pink waiste and had blue eyes and a fresh complexion and all that sort of thing, came along. and stopped in front of the fret girl The second pretty girl looked as if she wanted to cry. She saIa with tremnlous voice: Why, Natte what do you think? The fares adollar
 A dollar, and she told us it was oIly 50 cents and haven't got enough fo get the tickets, and Oh aear don't know what we will ao.
 She sat down beside Nettie, and the two booked at the floor with very solemn faces. Presently Nettie loeked up and said:
 Fl will take walk around the room Perhaps there is someone here know
 she made tour of the room and came back gloomier than before
 Nobody here i ever saw before, s slle said brokenly.
 The other girl sprang to her feet
 n m going 10 tell the ticket man iNst how 1t is, she said Perhaps hell take what we've got and let us seHd him the rest.
 She came back with tears in her eges
 He won't, ' she said, sadly.
 The man who was waiting for his wife heard all this. His heart was touched so he leaned over and said: l beg ysur pardon, but ladies-I that is-Will you allow me to help yon in your hour of tronble?''
 The pretty girls started and looked at tte man with frightened airs.

berlain's was the most popular station
on the road. The men freighting over
the mountains always strove to reach
that hating place. Until long after
dark the sound of bells was heard on
the pine bordered road, and the huge
prairie schooners came rolling in. Aft
er supper found the immense barroom
almost filled with the teamsters, and
more were still arriving, for full moon
was lighting up all the mountains.
The men were all talking horse and
mule" and my head being filled with
thoughts of mines and gold, paid but
dreamy sort of attention to the con-
versation. Presently, however, one of
the teamsters said, with a good deal of
emphasis, II tell you what, Johnny, if
you hadn't "a hitched onto mo and
helped me up that air last hill, I'd "a
bin at the foot of it yit!'

though it had been seven years since !
had heard that strange, mild oath
though heard it then for the first time
and had never heard it since-I at once
recollected where and under what cir
cumstances l had before heard it.
soon had the man who had sworn by
the beard of Balaam safely cornered at
some distance from the main throng of
guests. | then asked him if he remem-
bered having assisted poor, wrecked
emigrant family out of desert over in
Nevada seven years before.
do l remember that? Well, sir, |
rather guess do! Yes, sir, and mighty
little chance now of my ever forgetting
it. But, stranger, how do you happen
to know about that? You amt the
we'll, by the beard of Balaam! Yes,
you are! You are the very fellow that
came out on the road and got me to go
down into the desert after the family!
Give me your hand!''
Having recovered my hand from John
Henderson s fearful grasp and straight
ened out my benumbed fingers, l said:
II did not remember your face, Mr..
Henderson, for now you are bearded like
the pard, but recollected your peculiar
style of oath. You used it once that
day down in the desert. The moment

was introduced by Henderson, as Rob

one of the boys you saw on the desert. "
After some talk about the great

told me that Bob was driving one of

Tardy Lord Palmerston.

A political friend, who knew Lord
Palmcrston intimately, relates that he
was not always to be depended on in
keeping appointments. He once fixed
7 o'clock to dine with the officials Of a
provincial town, but failed to turn up,
When 1 0 clock struck and he still was
absent, the company in sheer despera-
ton sat down and had reached only the
second course when the great man ap-
peared. All expected an apology for
the delay that had spoiled their dinner,
but Palmerston, with the blandest of
smiles and an assumption of the mos:
cordial and forgiving aspect, quietly
said, II am so glad you did not wait. y

ments | stood gazing on the really dis
tressing scene, yet no one broke the sor-
rowful silence. They seemed persons
who had seen so little of kindness and
who had received so little aid or SYM
pathy from any one that they had lost
faith in their kind.
At last | went up to the man seated
on the small bowlder. l touched him
on the shoulder and said, Stranger,
you appear to be about at the end of
your string here"
Yes, sir. Clean done fort Clean
done for!" giving mo a single mourn
full glance, then turning to pick alb
stractedly at thread in Il blue jeans
patch on the knee of his butternut
trousers.
At first felt like laughing as gazed
upon the lugubrious faces all about me,
but moments reflection showed me
that, as the man said, they were clean
done for, " sure enough.
Not a man nor team was in sight
in any direction. All about lay the
sterile, waterlesS alkali waste, covered
or rather made ragged by sparse
growth of sagebrush.
Have you any money, my friend,
with which to buy another horse:" at
last asked, though felt that it WAS an
idle question.
Money" cried the man, us though
startled and shocked at the question,
and he turned and looked me full in
the face for the first time with wide
open eyes. Money? No, sir. Not d
cent, sir-not the first red cent! That
thar team was all totch from ole Mis-
souri, with met was my only hope.
Again he rclapsed, hung his head and
resumed picking at the patch on his
knee, just as though having said all
that could he said in regard to the sit
uation it was useless to waste breath in
further talk.
| stood hesitating for II moment and
then again shook the man up: "Stran-
ger, what do you think of doing? If
you stay here, all hands of you will
perish. This is IA terrible place, my
friend!'
"Wa-al. KANT somehow think what

his head. I'm or tryin ter think, hut

"Oh, sir. said Mary. we want to go

But to what part of California?
California is Il broad state. ~
Mary hesitated, looked confused and
finally answered, II don't know, sir
we only started to go to California.
Thomas was appealed to and said:
Don t know, mister, Of any pertic'-
Ter part-we only jist started to go to
CalefOrnv."
"Oh, Mumford! Oh. Mumford."
groaned the old lady.
Henderson started at this second out
break. gazed curiously at the Mumford
look that said more plarlly than any
words, Rum old gal, ain t she:'
"Well, " said Henderson, gazing from
face to face and addressing the family
collectively, 'as you don't seem bound
for any particular port. by the be- |
of Baalam! III just bundle you all lap,
take you in tow of the Red Wing and
land you all on my ranch in Sacramen-

Nobody offered any objection. The
short and emphatic speech made by
Henderson seemed to have settled the
whole matter.
The kind hearted teamster was now
all hustle. He stirred Thomas up, tell
ing him to do this and do that, and
even found something for the small
boys to do. All the valuable contents
