However unjust may be the attack of the
attorney general of Illinois upon the charter
of the Pullman car company that corpora
ton will excite ridicule rather than sym
patby by assuming the position of philan-

not to afford poor people homes but
as part of the plan Of great

Orono people are feeling quite elated
over the prospects of Massachusetts parties
erecting large pulp mill in that town. 1t
is understood that the site occupied quite a
number of years ago by a saw mill, short
distance from the Orono station, is the one
wanted for the pulp mill and that the priv
lege has been bonded. If such mill as
proposed is put up, about half million
dollars will be expended which will be a
great boom for Orono and lasting benefit
to the town. Orono now has pulp and
paper plant combined besides the Webster
paper mill, but there is plenty of room for
more.

America which has yet been discovered.
It is a mound-builder's skull and was OBJ

A Portland lady reports the following re-
markable occurrence. She was alone in the
house and heard noise down stairs. She
went down. In the room " hence the noise
came there was, a sideboard, on which sat q
large punch bowl. just above was large
picture Of General Washington. This pic
ture had fallen down. 1t was lying face
up,in front ofthe side board on the floor, and
on the glass, bottom side up, was the punch
bowl. The glass of the picture was shat
tered, but the punch bowl was unbroken.
How the picture in its fall struck the punch
bowl and tipped it on top of itself, and how
the punch bowl escaped unbroken is GER
tainly ine1plicable.

PARTICULAR ABOUT SEED,
A Dako.ian Writes a Peculiar Letter to
His Congressman.

A" wing ioonuluu'
Washington Post.
Rather Il funny letter was read in
the House yesterday by Representative
Picker, OF South Dakota, while the
agricultural bill was under considera-
ton. Mr.. Picker has a constituent
nlmed James Wells, living at Britton,
), d., and Mr.. Wells, or rather his
wife, wants some garden seeds. So he
made his appeal in the following
words
II would like some Today corn, and
II the new administration has any
new silver seed that will produce
standard silver dollars, or ever Mexi-
can dollars, in about 60 days, | would
like some of that. Or land is well
adapted to the raising of silver. We
would like something that would yield
1000 bushels to the acre and sell for a
dollar a bushcl. W. have not farmed
much, but are looking for anything
new or profitable.
Some OF our friends say German
carp is IA GOOD crop. We will put in a
few acres OF carp as a starter, if we
can get the seed. Some of our kind
friends recommend ostrichcs, but they
grow so few in a hill that we will not
venture to try them.
'Ihcre'S a small lake near our farm,
and my wife is anxions to raise some
gOndolas. They are an Italian bird,
l believe. The climate here is severe.
but she thinks she could raise them
by keeping them near a hard-coal
burner in the winter season. II Mr..
Morton could be prevailed upon to
send US a pair Of young mes we would
esteem it IA great favor. We could use
some canvas-back duck seed to good
advantage.
I'VE want to try some hard-coal
seed this year, as we have paid $40 a
ton for coal about as long as we care
10. One OF my young sons has a de-
sire to raise a pair of elephants to
break our land with. Do you think
Mr.. Morton would be willing to send
us a couple of elephant eggs to try the
experiment? Some Of our advanced
thinkers advise me to raise u crop of
plug tobacco. In selecting seed l wish
you would send Spear Head, Climax
or Star. The climate is too dry for
fine cut. If the department has any.
thing new in jack rabbits | would like
Il few vines that would bear the sec.

HIS B0DY FILL OF PINS.

A Georgian's Curious Ailment, the Result
ola Wound on the Battlefield.
Another pin has been taken out OF
General Clement A. Evans, OF Geor.
gia. Southern people, Georgians par.
ticularly, have frequently heard of
the general referred to as 1.-THE Pin
Cushion" That nickname "Shanks,'
which the newspapers used, probably
belonged once to some other Evans
certainly not to this me-. his friends
say, not because it is inappropriate,
but because the other is more appro-
pirate. The general is literally a pin
cushion. His body was once full of
pins, and for several years he was
greatly annoyed at intervals by the
working out" Of pins, head foremost,
point foremost, and all sorts OF WAYS.
Most of them have been taken out
now. lie hopes that they are all out.
lie was rather surprised recently, in
fact, to learn from the familiar symp-
toms that there was still another one.
1t was fortunately Il straight pin.
The incident that gave the general
his nickname occurred on the battle
field, says the New York Advertiser.
He held a e paper of pins in his
breast pocket. In leading u charge he
was shot from his horse. The bullet
had struck the paper OF pins and gone
through his body, carrying a number
OF pins half way. Most OF them, of
course, were bent-some like fish
hooks. The general was thought to
be fatally wounded. lie recovered,
however, in time to do more fighting.
His convalcscence was retarded by the
pins, OF course. Some Of them had
been picked out by the surgeon soon
after the wound was inflicted ; others
ncccssitated subsequent operations
before the surrender and others still
have struggled out at discretion. The
general is tall and spare in figure, long
legged enough to suggest the name of
"sllanks" to a stranger who had never
heard the story Of the pin cushion.
He was a lawyer before the wal and
has been a Methodist minister ever
since. He is in no sense a politician.
being as frank and as affectiOnate as a
child, and as modest as a woman. He
is not an eloquent preacher, nor a
deeply learned one, but is earnest and
true in his religion, and is universally
popular among his neighbors and the
old soldiers. His rank in the rebel
army was won by the hardest sort OF
fighting. He was promoted step by
step, after John b. Gordon. The per-
soma. bravery Of the preacler-candi-
date made him the idol of his men.
