When he learned that Council had ad :

enough to recover his breath and "kick"
himself because he had not stayed at
home, but his colleagues so unmerci-
fully guied him he was forced to depart.
Mr.. Ratledge, who represents Silver
brook, had not arrived at sos o'clock,
and If he did arrive it was after the
lights had been put out.

The irony of fate was never more
strikingly exemplitied than ut Selma, a
| few days since, when lie town site Of
Cahaba, once the capital of Alabama
and the centre of an opulcnt slave
holding aristocracy, was sold for taxes
and bought in by Henry Freeman, an
ex-slave, for five hundred and fifty dol
lars. On tho property are dozen or
more houses, two Of three brick stores
being among the number, but these will
be torn down.
Situated as 1t was at the confluence of
the Cahaba and Alabama rivers, Ca
haba was at one time one of the most
important inland towns in the South.
II is said to have been Il most
beautiful village. Surrounded by the
beautiful and fertile plantations that
lay along the banks of the stately Ala
bama, Cahaba was the home Of the
mobiles of the State. Here they built
their lovely dwellings in the arrhitec-
lecture of the South OF that day, with
broad verandas, wide halls and multi
tude of windows, Extensive grounds
surrounded each. The choicest flowers
bloomed in the gardens. Magnolias,

and myrtle grew into trees In the flower

1t was ideal living these good worthless

such was Oahaba when the Confed.
eracy was born at Montgomery, 100
miles or SO up the river. Cahabas men
went to the front TO fight and her
women wept at home. The capital had
been removed to Tuscaloosa shortly
before. In its place tall, grim stockade
was erected, it being the southernmost
prison OF the lConfederacy. The battle of
Selma, few miles away, was the near
est that actual war came, but never
theless the war was a death blow to
Cahaba. When the strife was over the
merchants and business men restOcked
the empty shelves of their stores, daily
newspaper was issued and everything
possible was done to restore the old
town to this former Importance, but
Selma, her rival, had railroads and
river, too, and the trades people and
their cotton floated on to that city. At
last, by a popular vote, the county seat
was transferred thither and hegira
soon followed. Many of the costly man
sions were torn down and reconstructed
in the successful city. Most of the bal
ance were left tcnantless. Year by year
the population was diminished by death
and removal until gradually the old
town was deserted and finally obliter-

Romance OF Cora and Chaska Set Forth
In Prose with the Jim -Jams.

In Prose with the Jim jams.
Nebraska State journal.
When Cora Belle Fellows was welded
TO Chaska and came with her dusky
hege lord to Nebraska, the skies seemed
nedecked with a constant aurora, and
the little log hut seemed u palace to
Cora. Months passed and cloud
grew above the horizon in the form of a
squaw, and those women are pizen.
Her eyes were as dark as the dismal
hereafter and her hair was as straight
as 2x6 raf:er. The stout heart Of
Chaska succumbed to her graces, for an
Indian knows what an elegant face is;
ana they met when the moon the calm
atmosphere mellows, nor cared for the
heartache of Cora Belle Fellows.
One night when the storm king the
coal scuttle looted this Chaska put on
his red blanket and scooted away to
the North with his maiden, nor tarried
TIL he and fair Minnekadinctum were
married, And Cora she waited and
bore his abuses and hoped he'd return
to his wife and pappooscs, but weeks
rolled BY till the looks of her cupboard
reminded her sorely of Old Mother
Hubbard. Then Cora disheartened,
disguised and gaunted, deserted the
home that her Chaska once haunted,
and mingled once more with her friends,
broken hearted, and Cora and Chaska
forever are parted.
A moral this tale bears to girls, who,
through folly or strange love of re-.
nance, imagine it jolly TO cast their sad
lot with the sons Of the wildwood and
seek q divorce from the friends Of their
childhood. The romance is short, as in
this case related, for Cora now knows
she was sadly mismated and has, with
the rest, the unhappy reflection of duty
70 half breeds that need her protection.
The question of Indian civilization in
wolves not the horrors of mixed pro.
creation. An Indian has to be dead to
be decent, which fact has been known
long time-is not recent-and history
shows, from the best observations, that
half breeds are worse than their tribal
relations.
| weep for poor Cora and both her
pappooses; shudder to think what a
gosling a goose is; | feel indignation
that Chaska should leave her and skin
with another and basely deceive her,
and think that the law should receive a
few patches to shut off these semi-bar-
barian matches,

Strange Comedy of Errors in a Michir,

"A funny thing happened at the hos.
pital the other day" said the doctor to a
Detroit Free Press man. "The princi-
pal surgeon of our staff called up the
superintendent by telephone and said;
II have sent Mrs. Brown over to the
hospital. I will be over there in an
hour to operate Oh her. See that she is
bathed and ready

"Twenty minutes later a quiet little
woman came IN and seated herself in
the, reception room. The superintendent
had been busy over other matters, but
as soon as che saw the visitor she re.
membored the message. Putting aside
her papers, sLe stepped into the next
room.

and so to the third floor, where the
Superintendent, calling the head nurse
aside, said in an undertone:
"'This is Mrs. Brown. See that she

Step this way said the head nurse.
and the quiet little woman followed her
into the dressing room adjoining the
bath.
The superintendent had just rung
for the elevator, when she heard rue
ton in the bathing department. Hurry
ing In, she saw the quiet woman, minus
hat, coat and some. other garments, in
an attitude of defence, and the nurse
dancing around for an opening.
"'Why, what is the matter, Miss
Smith," cried the superintendent in
amusement.
This lady refuses to take BATH
but she must take BATH replied
the superintendent.
= Why should l take bath l bathed
this morning, said the quiet woman.
The rules require it. You cannot
go into the operating room without a
bath, responded the superintendent.

SURPRISE IN CECIL.
The County Commissioners Ignore
Law in Appointing a County Irensu

me county commissioners Ignore tho
Law in Appointing County treasurer.
ELKroN, Md, April 12.-To-day the
county commissioners appointed MANLY
Drennen of Elkton, son Of Thomas
Drennen, county treasurer for the period
OF one year, TO succeed BENJAMIN Nj.
Crawford, whose term will expire July
LIST next
At tho last session of the Legislature
OF Maryland the law was changed and
an act passed making the treasurer of
the county clerk to the county commits
sloners and authorizing him to appoint
an assistant. The act named John
Banks OF Chesapeake City, treasurer, to
hold his office from the LIST of Nav. 1894
until the general election in 1896, when
the treasurer is to be elected by the
people and thus take the appointment
out OF the hands of the county commits
sioners. The commissioners ignored
this law, their counsel, William S.
Evans, having rendered an opinion. in
which he declared that the act was in.
operative and unconstitutional. AS the
act OF Assembly made John Banks
treasurer after the first of May next,
and the commissioners appointed Manly
bremen to the position, it will result in
a legal battle before the courts as to
who is rightfully entitled to the posi-.
ton OF county treasurer.
The commissioners also ignored the
act passed at the last session Of the
Legislature regulating the appointment
OF physician to the Jail. The act au.
thorlzed the sheriff to make the appoint.
ment, but the commissioners refused to
recognize the law and appointed ply
stefan.
Mr.. Drennen, the treasurer.elect, Is n
young man Of 30 years, and at present
engaged IN the insurance business. The
appointment was unsolicited, and was
surprise to himself as it was also to the
citizens Of Elkton. The office pays
$1,000 year. ~
