Gambling on His life.

The gambling instinct is strong in
most men, but it is seldom that one
hears of a man with sufficient nerve to
bet sum Of money ON his own life. A
wager of this kind has leaked out IN
which two prominent members of a
Philadelphia club are concerned These
two men have been close friends for
years. One is doctor and the other a
lawyer. A year ago the lawyer, who
had previously enjoyed the best of
health, began to complain of feeling run
down. He consulted his friend, the doc
tor, who, after minute, thorough ex
animation, told him frankly that his
lungs were affected, the action of his
heart was impaired and that he wouldn't
live year. The lawyer, who is a man
of indomitable pluck and will power,
was naturally stunned for u moment
After the first shock had passed off his
true nature asserted itself. 'I'll bet you
81, 900 you are wrong and that do live
over a year." he exclaimed. The doctor
was positive that his diagnosis was cor
rect and was forced to accept the bet
The money was placed in safe deposit
vault, and the lawyer went abroad. In
six months he returned. The year was
up last week, and he won his wager.
And, what is more, he says he is open
for more bets of similar nature. -

A Pomological wonder.

A queer case of natural cross fertili-
cation is reported from Anjou, France.
A grapevine, which grows in close
proximity to large apple tree of the
russell variety, has developed full
bunch of small apples ON the stem
which is usually set with grapes. There
are 80 of these queer grape apples" in
all, and they are SO thickly set upon the
stem that many of them, all, in fact,
except those growing at the ends, are
mashed ont of shape, SO that they are
almost as angular as corn grains. Each
of these freaks has its blossom end"
like true apples. and in the fine speci-
mems which have been examined IL
poorly developed apple seeds were found.
The pomologists of Europe are greatly
excited over the publication of the facts
relating to this queer case as they ap-
peared in La Nature, and many who
have never attended meeting Of the
Imperial Pathological society will do so
this year in order to hear the curiosity
discussed. Those who have ever paid
any attention to fruit culture and know
how entirely dissimilar the blossoms of
grapevine and apple trees are will nat
urally doubt the genuineness of this
freak St Louis Republic.

Lowell's friendship with Poe was not
destined to good fortune. There had
been mutual good will and respect, with
kindly offices ON both sides. The con
nection Of Poe with Briggs in the edito.
rial conduct Of The Broadway Journal
was the occasion of an exchange of
views and facts between Briggs and
Lowell which left Poe's reputation very
much impaired in Lowell's Judgment.
Poe's admiration for "the author of
'Rosaline, ON the other hand, did not
survive the lines in 'The Fable For
Critics, " in which his own portrait was
not inaptly drawn. After Briggs ceased
to be his coeditor Poe attacked Lowell
as plagiarist, and the latter expressed
his resentment at length in passage to
be found in his published Letters. {"
Lowell, too, had lately met Poe, Just
recovering from a spree, and the inn
preston then received was sufficient of
itself to terminate their relations.
A short time after, in October, 1845,
occurred the public scandal of Poe's
visit to Boston to read poem before
the Boston lyceum, which confirmed
him in his lifelong dislike of the Bos-
tonians. Later, in an unpublished letter
to Mr.. f. w. Thomas early in 1849,
Poe denounced Lowell with some con-
tempt and made public disclosure of
his changed attitude by an unfayorable
review Of '"The Fable For Critics" in
The Southern Literary Messenger in
February Of that year. --Scribuer's Mag
azine.

A Delaware Marriage Formally That
Struck Terror TO One bridegroom.

A Delaware Marriage FormaIity That
Struck Terror 60 One bridegroom.
To get married seems an easy thing
to the young man whose fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love, but when il
comes to the actual ceremony there are
Thousand and one terrors which sur
round and threaten to overcome him.
Marriage in some states is easy. In
others it is difficult as obtaining a di.
vorce.
A well known Philadelphian was
about to be married to a beautiful
young woman who lived in the state of
Delaware. He had no idea that the mar
riage laws of that state were of an ap-
palling nature. He had secured his H.
cense and thought that was all that was
necessary.
Have you filed your bond yet?'' said
fome one to him the day before the we'd
ding
WHAT" gasped he.
Your bond, " repeated the question
CT. "You know every man who is mar
ried in this state has to file bond for
the projections of the state. {"
The bridegroom was rather dubious,
but was finally persuaded that this was
fact.
"I'n see lawyer about it in the
morning." f" said he. So he went to a
friend, who was legal light. and said:
"See here. They tell mo I have to
give bond to the state when get
married. "
Certainly. Haven't you done sos'
in surprised way.
mo; b never heard of such thing
before. What kind of bond is it?''
'Oh, any real estate will do.
but l haven't any real estate.
The lawyer looked at him a moment.
Then he solemnly said:
Haven't you any friends who OWL
property"
None that care to ask to bind il
up that way. can't ask my brides
relatives. you know
His friend looked at him pityingly.

WHAT" fairly shrieked the unfor.
tunate.
''Of course, of course not, )" said the
legal light soothingly. But the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, old man.
I'll tend to the matter for you. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it. +"
The young man about to be married
grasped his hand. He could not speak
for moment, and then he poured forth
his thanks. He picked up his hat in a
relieved sort of way and walked to the
door. Then he turned.
by the way, forgot to ask you how
large is the amount of the bond re-
quired?"
Fifty cents, y said the lawyer.

1t Meant Mutiny.

One morning a British man of-war
was seen entering Hongkong harbor
with the ensign inverted, which is the
usual sign of ''mutiny ON board. - I'm
mediately this was noticed couple of
man-of-war cutters put out, full of blue
jackets, and dashed across the harbor
toward where the newcomer had anchor
ed. Perhaps it was a little regatta en-
thusiasm, or perhaps it was purely the
spirit of duty which stimulated them,
but anyhow most exciting race ensued
lin fact, there was a narrow escape of
bad smash as they reached the vessel.
There the officers and some of the crew
were at the taffrail, shouting themselves
hoarse and beckoning to the two boats
to come ON faster. At last, half dead
with their exertions, yet eager for the
fray with the mutineers, the tars
tumbled on board and were warmly
complimented on their rowing pace. 1t
must have blown them badly. Would
they have drink?
"A what? Where is the mutiny2'
gasped the senior officer in charge Of
the boarding party. "Mutinyi There's
no mutiny in this ship We are al the
best of friends, was the reply. "Then
why did you want us? You yelled loud
enough. " 1--WE thought 1t was Hong
kong regatta day and We're cheering the
winners. I" Staggered for moment the
officer pointed inquiringly TO the ensign,
still Haunting its appeal for MD that
was not required. "Oh, d---n the boy

STORIES OF CRUELTY.

Details OF a horrible state az
affairs existing in the mining rs-
gion OF the Indian Territory have
been brought to Fort Smith, Ark,
by evicted miners. The stories
the men tell OF oppression, hard-
ships aud cruelty to themselves
their wives and Children by tho
Deputy Marshals and Federal
troops are similar TO those which
sometimes come from Siberia.
The men say that when it became
apparent that they could not earn
living at the reduced rats OK
wages and starvation was stsring
their families in the face, power
was given the Deputy Maishals to
eject them from the company's
houses, and the work of eviction
began.
Many OF the men we're thrown
bodily from their homes. their
wives and children bruised aud
beaten and their furniture and
personal effects destroyed, after
which they were loaded into box
cars like cattle and shipped out OF
the Territory. The stories of
brutality told by the men from
the Haftshorne district are revolt
Ing In the extreme.
August Smith, one Of the Harts-
horne miners, says that lsat
Thursday troops came to bis house
and arrested him. They would
not allow him to put on his shoes
and coat aud refused to lot ths
family eat breakfast. The soldiers
threw his furniture into q wagon
and then asked Smiths wife II ahs

Slmilsr stories TO the above are
told by many of the evicted nens
In one instance family OF four
were evicted near Anderson. The
wife of the svicted miner WAS

Mexico has passed mining law

When the gold in the ore peters
out the privilege is Withdrawn.
But the grantee gets exclusive
privilege to prospect in the district
allotted him. This lasts him only
six months, however, and cannot
be renewed for two years. Mining
utensils pay no import duty and
taxes are remitted for ten years.
But half q million must be sx-
pended by the prospactor in three
years with another such sum
two years thereafter. A $4,000
bond has to he deposited as secur-
ity, subject to release on the ex-

Senator Teller's proposed high
tariff on diamonds is causing a
sensation in London, where the
Rothschilds have recently bonded
100000 pounds sterling (neafly
$4,000, ,000) bonds for the South
Africa dismand trust. The pro-
posed high tariff would produce q
great fall in the valus OF the i'm

dends TO holders OF the trust stocks,

Title to Mineral Lands on Rail-
road Grants In Washington, MAY
26, the supreme court gave it's
decision on the long pending Bor-
den mineral land case, which is a
test case involving the title to a
large tract of land claimed a. q
part of its grant by the Northern
Pacific railroad company. The
opinion OF the court was delivered
by Justice Field, and was against
the contention of the railroad COM
pany, tkat the exemption of lands
containing minerals (gold and sil-
yer made in the grant were limi-
ted to lands which we're known to
contain these minerals at the time
of the act or location of the line
of the road. Nogrant to railroads,
the court said, had ever been held
to pass title to mineral land, and
the practice of the land department
has uniformly been to refuse to
patent a railroad company lands
known to contain minerals prior to
the date OF patent. The judgment
of the circuit court in favor OF the
railroad company was, therefore,
reversed and the case remanded
with instructions to enter ludg-
ment in compliance with the judg.
ment of the supreme court.
Justice Brewer dissented from
the judgment. He continued that
the title passed with the definite
location of the Iioe, otherwise 1t
could nevor have been known un-
til the patent was issued whether
the railroad company had title to
its grant or not.
Marking of Boundary Claims
Marking the boundaries of the sur
face Of the claim as required by
statute is one OF the first steps to-
ward a location. 1t serves q
double purpose; 1t operates to de.
termine the right OF the claimant
as between himself and the gener-
al government, and to notify third
persons of his rights. Another
seeking the benefits of the law,
going upon ground, IS distinctly
notified of the appropriation and
can ascertain it's boundaries. He
may thus make his own location
with certainty, knowing that the
boundaries of the other cannot be
changed so az TO encroach on
grounds duly appropriated prior
to the change. The prevention Of
fraud by swinging or floating is
one OF the purposes served. The
record also serves a double pur-
pose. AS between the claimant
and the government, il preserves a
memorial of the lands appropri-
ated after monuments, in their
nature perishshle, are swept away,
It also supplepepts the surface
marking in giving notice to third
persons Gfri vs., cs1Ifornia Oil
