The Queerest Deed.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"The most peculiar deed | ever
saw" said Attorney H. L. Higgin-
botham of Alabama, "was iii lit
tie town on the Tombigbee River.
It was referred to ME for the pur-
pose of instituting suit in eject
ment for forty acres of land. Soon
after the war closed, parties came
through this country representing
to the negroes, none of whom could
read or write, that the government
gave them a mule and forty acres
of land with their freedom. They
should catch the first mule they
found, and were to place a striped
pole at each corner of a forty acre
tract Of their masters plantation
to secure the land. These poles
they sold for SIS set. The negroes
worked and begged until they got
the money and got the poles re-
ceiving a deed to the land. Of.
course, they were not allowed to
hold the property, and the result
was that the deeds found their way
into the law Offices. Theone re-,
ferred to me read: 'As Moses lifted
up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so have I lifted this poor
black fool out of $5."

What Ex-AuditOr Ben Perry
Says.

Washington Post.
''The primaries next August" :"
said Col. Ben Perry, of Edgefeld,
S. c., at the Metropolitan last
night, "will determine whether
Senator Butler will succeed him
self or whether his successor will
be Governor Tillman. If Tillman
wins hr will beat the strongest
man in the State. Governor Till
man, however, is not only strong,
but he is growing stronger. His
dispensary law is bringing in a
revenue to the State, and he has
shown that he intends to enforce
it. The result is that the church
and temperance people are coming
to his support. He has able lieu
tenants also. If he comes to the
Senate his successor as Governor
will be State Senator John Gary
Evans, now in Washington,
nephew Of the famous Gen. Mart
w. Gary, who organized the move
ment which resulted in the election
of Wade Hampton to the Senate.
Young Evans is but %, yet he is a
born leader, and has been Till
mau's right hand man in the State
Senate. Two more of Gen. Gary's
nephews are Tillman lieutenants
and are on the bench of South
Carolina in consequence. Tillman
has a powerful following. He rode
iuto power as pupil of old Gen.
Gary and has strengthened his
hold in every direction"

A BRILLIANT WOMAN.
ANOTHER REMARKABLE STORY BY
EDITH SESSIONS TUPPER.

Sketch of the Life of tho Author Of "a
Transferred Identity''-A Life OF Activ-
ant Experience.
Edith Sessions Upper has the talent,
the industry, the pluck and the power
of application, that are better than ge-
MUS and are often mistaken for ii. She
has won her high reputation in litera-
ture legitimately and is today as widely
and favorably known as any other writ
er of her sex. Mrs. Tupper is daugh-
ter of Hon. Walter II. Sessions, an ex-
member of congress, and q s born at
his home in Chautauqua county, N. Y.
Her formal education was received in
the public schools and at Vassar COL
lege. She began to write for the Buff
falo Express at an early age, sending it
letters, character sketches and stories.
In 1887 she launched cut for career
in Chicago, where she soon made a repu-
tation by her brilliant work on The
Herald and Inter Ocean. She was the
winner of the Chicago Tribune's $500
prize, offered for the best long story.
There were 200 competitors. The work
has since been published in book form.
She finally removed to New York city,
where she soon took her place among the
most versatile and talented literary
women in circle of brilliant journalists
and writers. Since her entrance into
newspaper life she has furnished an
enormous amount of correspondence,
and her work for the great New York
dailies, as well as the better class Of
periodical literature, is CT decided merit.
She is one of the few successful women
interviewers in New York. Lillian

What Salt Will Do.

Salt is most excellent for clean
ing the teeth. 1t hardens the gums
and sweetens the breath.
One of the most effective reme-
dies known for sick headache is
to place pinch of salt on the tom
que and allow it to dissolve slowly.
In about ten minutes it may be
followed by drink of water.
There is nothing better fol tired
and weak eyes than to bathe them
in strong solution of salt and
water applied as hot as it can be
borne.
A salt bag is the best local ap-
plication.. in cases of acute neural-
gia. Heat the bag in the stove
oven and lay on part affected.

LORD DUNRAVEN.
Ills Political Life as Shown by Par
Iinmentary Record.

Ills Political Life as Shown by Par
Iinmentary Record.
Lord Dunraven took his seat in the
house Of lords as supporter of Mr..
Gladstone, who subsequently offered
him a miEor post in the government.
But at that tine the young traveller
took but little part in politics, and so
declined the flattering invitation. His
real entry into public life and, in fact,
the foundation of his subsequent career
as politician are due to newspaper
article which he wrote on Mr.. Glad
stones famous attack on Lord Beacons-
field. The article obtained much at
tenti0n at the time and attracted the
Ctice of the Conservative chief, who
was much struck at the clever criti-
cism Of the young Liberal peer. An
acquaintance sprang up between Lord
BeaconSiield and tn writer which later
on ripened into friendship, and probably
had something to do with Lord Dun
raven joining the Conservative party.
His early speeches were chiefly on for
eign policy and the intimate knowledge
he showed respecting treaties of all
kinds was an additional link between
him and the leader of his rev party.
His favorite theme was Egypt, and
he rarely missed an opportunity of
condemning Mr.. Gladstone's policy in
respect to that country. Later on he
interested himself more especially in
colonial affairs. Here his personal ac-
quaintance with the North American
colonies stood him in good stead, and
gained him the ear of the house of
lords. Thus it was scarcely surprising
that when Lord Salisbury came into
| office he chose him as under secretary
of state for the colonies, q post he
again filed on the return of the Conser
vatives in power in 1SS6.-McClure's
| Magazine.

The Vanity of Crabs.

Many OF the crab species of she'll
fish "clothe" themselves. Some
species dress themselves deliberately
by gathering bits of sea-weed, chew
ing the ends and sticking them on
the shell, so as to look like q stone
covered with weed. They spend
hours with the utmost perseverance
in making these pieces adhere by
trying the same piece over and over
again till they succeed. They have
fine sense of symmetry, and always
put red piece on one limb to match
the red piece they have put on tho
other, and a green piece to match a
green piece, though how they know
red from green in the dark pools
where they live is hard to say, I'M
less it is by taste or smell. When
once their dress is completed it i'm
proves the older it becomes, as the
weed actually grows on them.

Excellence OF American Horses.

Probably more and better horses
are owned in America per thousand
of population than in any other country,
and the farmer or corner groceryman,
at least in the North and West, can
and does afford to keep as good
roadster as the city nabob-often q
better one. While the average horse
lacks the distinctive characteristics Of
lace, he has exceptionally good quail
ties. American horses are, as rule,
sure-footed. There are more broken
kneed nags in cabs and livery stables
in England fourfold than here. Smooth
roads and level meadows uniformly
breed horses less careful how they
tread than rough roads and stony pas
lures. The Eastern granite soil pro-
duces safer steppers than the clay Of
the South.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
