Commissioners Reynolds and Boett-

pear before the governor to answer his
charges against them. They will re-
sist any order Of removal, and as the
governor seems already to have his
mind made up to this end, the matter
will inevitably get into the courts.
The two commissioners will make no

In the meantime Carl Brown. va.

In Lne me1ntlmo Oorl DIoWne was
in trouble. Two policemen threw
themselves upon him, grabbed his aas
Of peace and smashed the staff, seized
him by the shoulders and thrust him
through the crowd, several hundred
feet to the sidewalks. Clubs were
seen descending upon mems shoulders
in the group, but whether Browne was
hit could not be seen.
As the two officers rushed him
through the crowd he was seen trying
to shelter his head, As though he ex-
pected blows, and could be heard
shouting; Il am an American citi-
zen; l stand on my constitutional
rights. Despite his protest the dra-
matte marshal was dragged to the
police station.
When the police had escorted Co,ey
to his carriage, hurrying him by the
shoulder, he clambered into the We
hicle where his wife sat with Legal
Tender in her lap, and as he stood
there loud cheer was sent up from
the surrounding crowd. Then the
policemen seemed to lose their heads
and falling upon the luckless colored
women, they clubbed the negroes lust

The remarkable tiuency Of Kossuth
In English. which was tongue he
only learned after he had grown to
mature years, is more surprising the
more it is explained. John A. Mich
olas writes in the New York
Sun that Kossuth told him
that when speaking in English
his mind performed three dis
tinct operations. He thought in
hungarian. translated that into
Latin, and then from Latin into
English. 1t is probably true that
most people who understand several
languages do their thinking in the
one they learned in infancy. But to
translate into two foreign tongues,
and one of these dead language.
seems to be almost Incredible.

The party which started to drive
overland from Durango. Col. through
Mexico, Central and South America a
to the Argentine Republic, may be
foolish in undertaking such a trip,
and unsuccessful in carrying it out.
but the venture will at least have
the interest OF novelty, and may re-
suit in the settlement OF many vexed
questions OF geography and typo
graphy. 1t will also have an i'm
portant bearing upon the proposed
inter-American railroad. as q route
which is impracticable for mounted
men to follow would scarcely be the
place to build a railroad, except at
enormous cost. The undertaking is
no more chimerical than the numer-
Gus expeditions to the North pole,
and its result will probably be much
less disastrous to the explorers.
