Negroes Pathetic Grief Over the Death
of His Wife.
There recently died in Louisiana an
old negro woman named Aunt Harriet
Moore, who left to mourn her the
husband with whom she had lived
something over fifty years. Uncle
Nuggie seemed brokenhearted over
The loss, and it is thought finally had
his mind unsettled by his bereave-
ment At any rate after Aunt Harriet
had been dead ard buried several
days her husband went by night to
the cemetery and disinterred the re-
mains and carried them home again.
He was met on the road by man of
his own color, who, taking him for
ghost, fed from him. He, however,
told what ne had seen, and the neigh
bors went to Uncle Nuggie's cabin and
found him engaged in rubbing the
feet of the corpse with mustard, and
trying to force down the rigid thro st
hot whisky and water.
The old man said he had been
warned in dream that his wife was
only in a trance, and that if he would
fetch her home and use measures to
revive her she would come to life
again. His grief when the body was
again taken from him was pitiful, and
he seemed urable to attend the
second burial. But, as the coffin was
being lowered into the grave, Uncle
Nuggie suddenly appeared, and
breaking through the party about the
grave, threw himself into the hollow

Ifyou think your polished diamond

Of exceedingly small, yet not indis-

concluded that in solid, at least,
these particles would d be clustered to-

theory as applied to diamonds is i'd
correct and has been completely over
thrown by the researches and expert
mentations of Sir Robert Ball of Liv-
erpool. The facts set forth by Mr.. Ball
with reference to the structure of the
diamond are fascinating. He asserts
that were the sensibility of our eyes

suppositio that it is no more than q

but the we1l-known impenetrability
of the gem arises from the fact that,
when attempt is made to press steel

rapidly moving molecules of the stone
batter the metal with such extraor-
dinary vehemence that they refuse to
allow it to penetrate or even to mark

GEN. sICKLEs' TWO SALARIES.
Congress the Sole Judge OF the Qualin.
cations of It's Members.

WAsHISsroS CRY, Feb. 2A-Second
Comptroller Mansur. of the treasury, today
decided the case of Gen. Daniel Il. Sickles,
the question being bis right TO draw q sal
ary both as q member Of congress and a. .
retired officer of the army. The comp
troller says; 81 sum up the status Of q
retired army officer as follows: lie may
hold any civil Office under the govern
ment. save and except those of senator or
member of the house Of representatives.
which by the constitution are inhibited to
him or to any officer. civil or military,
under the United States; but he can draw
pay as retired officer and also draw the
salary or compensation OF any civil Office
or employment he may hold under the
government, assuming always that the
duties of the civil Office are performed
under and by virtue of q commission ap-
pointing him to that Office, which he holds
in addition to his rank as retired officer"
The effect Of the decision Is that con-
gress, by swearing in Gen. Sickles when Ii
knew by common report that he was an
army officer on the retired list, has decided
that he can be member of con gress at the
same time he is a retired officer of the
army. hence he can draw two salaries.
The comptroller says. in reviewing the
case:
"The question who shall hold seat in
congress is one peculiar TO congress,
which under the constitution is the sole
judge OF the qualifications of its own men,
bers, and neither the comptroller, nor the
Ildge OF any court, nor the president. nor
any official IN the land can be Judge
thereof. The house, when il admins
tered the oath TO him as a member, knew
he was q retired officer of the army and
thereby passed on the question of his
eligibility and qualification. and no other
power has the authority TO review that
decision

xINSAIRD NOT CAUGHT BIZ HER.
Pretty Kitty Marcellus Denies the Miss-
ing Lawyer Followed Her.

Pretty Kitty Marcellus Denies the Miss-
ing Lawyer Followed Her.
Kitty Marcellus, the pretty girl who
plays the queen in the "Spider and Fly"
spectacular play now being produced at
the Seattle theatsr. spoiled the romantic
story concerning her conquest of the
heart of Judge Kinnaird, the prominent
attorney who is missing from Spokane, by
declaring last evening to PosT-ISTELLI-
eENcKR reporter that she never heard of
his judgeship. She is puzzled to account
for the story that has given her so much
space in newspapers, but this is the way
it probably started:
When the company was playing in Spo-
kane Miss Marcellus met friend, who is
q prominent attorney. She was invited
TO visit at his home and did so. Some
one probably heard that Miss Mareellus
had friend In Spokane aud that he &C.
cupied a high position among the legal
fraternity. BY the time the story had
passed around few times the name of
Judge kinnaIrd mad been substituted for
that of the other attorney, and the matter
was settled. When Miss Marcellus was
questioned Friday night she had no idea
of the case in question and saw no reason
why she should tell whether her attorney
friend had followed her to Seattle. As
soon as she learned the true nature of the
case she told Matt Berry, manager of the
company. that her friend had not accom-
panied her.
Miss Marcellus was seen last evening at
the theater, just after the first act had
closed on the amusing scene OF the Mid
way Plaisance. Some women look pretty
at q distance, but very dazzling at close
range. Miss Marcellus, however, is even
prettier when in conversation than when
on the stage. She is q pleasant..conversa-
tionalist aud talked about the missing
Judge hinnaird without restraint. After
she had read the dispatch announcing the
rumor that she had won the judges heart
and led him captive to Seattle, she looked
up with an arch smile and said:
why, that is surprising. / never heard
of Judge Kinnaird. Who is be? 1
met friends in Spokane and among them
was an attorney, but his name was not
Kinnaird. / am sorry for the poor man
ing information"
When told that before the judge disap.
peared he was respondent and broke, +"
Miss Marcellus laughingly replied that ID
was unkind 10 accuse her of running of
with a man who could not pay his own car
fare.
When Manager Berry was asked IL any
one had left the company since opening At
Spokane he replied in the negative. but
explained that Dolly Raymond, one of the
chorus. was i'll in Seattle. and had not
taken part in the performances.
