DROPS DEAD.

Sewer Inspector Herman Boyer, OF Daven-
port, Expires on the Street.
Death came unexpectedly to Sewer
Inspector Herman Boyer at Daven-
port yesterday, he having fall
len a corpse. while traversing the
thoroughfares on his way to overlook
some work being done on fremont
avenue. The cause Of his sudden
expiration is attributed to embolism
of the arterial circulation by venus
thrombus or clOt. About a week ago
Boyer sustained a bruise in his hand,
which eventually became healed and
to all appearances better.
Muscles Begin to Swell.
Last Sunday an enlargement Of the
veins approximate to the bruise was
noticeable and the muscles of the
arm began to swell. Medical adj
vice was solicited and DIR. Matthey
explained that the bruise had caused
what is known to the profession as
phlebites obstructive or extended
congested condition of both the SUI
periicial and deep veins of the arm.
The patient was apprised OF the
dangerous results which might per-
chance follow and prevailed upon
Bever to remain in quietude. But
Boyer seemed anxious to pursue his
work and Monday ventured out
again. Yesterday the swelling had
extended to his neck and shoulder
blade, but he gave no particular
heed. When Main street was
reached Boyer, without any evidence
Of approaching prostration. fell over
upon his face dead. DR.. Matthey
was of the opinion that the obstruc-
ton of the veins circulation had
caused an embolism of the arteries,
resulting in a thrombus or clot pass
ing either to the brain or the valves
of the heart.
Boyer was 40 years Of age and is
Survived by q wife aud two children.

HORNS OF THE BRONZE AGE.
The Finding of Battle Trumpets of Old
Denmark.

Among the masterpieces of the
! bronze-workerw which have come from
that olden time to US are great bronze
battle-horns, called by the Danes lur.
These are truly gigantic. Twenty
three specimens have been found in
Denmark, all in peat hogs. and most
of them in pairs For years a dozen
of these lurs hung in the museum
silent Recently DR.. A Hammerich
secured permission to study them as
musical instruments and TO test them.
Finally, these were played upon be-
fore large and enthusiastic audience,
the king himself being present. Only
few times since have these old horns
been sounded. but on one of these oc-
casions we had the good fortune to be
present Two players from the opera
were the performers: the court
of the museum was filed with
hearers. Wonderful, is it not. that
horns two thousand years old, buried
for long centuries in peat boys, should,
after this long silence. still be ca pa bic
of giving out clear, ringing-even
sweet-toneS?
The conditions in which these lurs
are found are most suggestive-always
in peat boys, usually in pairs. This
could not be the result of accident
Other objects are found purposely laid
away in the same manner; thus ten
bronze hemispherical plates were found
at one spot; nine fine bronze axes, all
of one form, at another. Similar clus-
tiers of celts, spears. etc. are not I'M
common. On one occasion about one
hundred miniature boats of thin
beaten gold were placed in vessel
and buried; such occurrences are not
completely understood = Prof. Fred

A nEoRo.s GRATITUDE.
An Instance Of Rare Faithfulness on the
Part of an Ex-Slave.

Part of an Ex-Slave.
A wealthy slave-owner of the cotton
belt entered the southern army.
fought bravely and brilliantly, and
died in one of the closing battles of
the war. His widow was left penni-
less, with large plantations ineum-
bered with mortgages. and hundred
or more emancipated negroes who had
ceased to be her property
Her business affairs were misman-
aged by agents and lawyers, and she
lost one plantation after another. Her
health failed. and in her old age she
became wholly dependent upon one of
her former slaves.
This negro was grateful to her for
having given him start after the war.
Learning from experience that she
could not manage her plantations sue
cessfully, she had rewarded the fdeli-
ty of a small group of emancipated
slaves by deciding over to them out
right small farms This negro received
in this way a farm of twenty-six acres
with cabin.
He prospered from the outset. He
made living out of his ground, and
saved every year a little money. In
the course of few years he bought
another farm and doubled his re-
sources. Other purchases followed,
until he was truck farmer with con-
siderable wealth.
He did not forget his old plantation
mistress in his prosperity. When she
had lost all her property, and there
was no other friend to take care of her
in her old age, this negro rescued her
from restitution. He became her most
faithful friend.
Both are still living On the first
day of every month the negro farmer
draws a check for one hundred dol
lars, and sends it to the aged lady
whose slave he was in boyhood At
first she was unwilling to become his
pensioner, but he pressed help upon
her with tears in his eyes, telling her
that he would never have got on IN the
world If she had not generously aided
him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only recourse.
and no millionaire in the land is hap
pier than he is when payday" comes
around. and he can send his check TO
his kind-hearted ''old misses"
The other negroes whom she be-
friended after the war have been either
lmprovident or ungratefnl, but one at
least had the energy and thrift re-
quired for making him a well-to-do
farmer, and the heart to take compass
sion on a friendless and unfortunate
woman who had once been kind to
him
This is true story. which illustrates
the tender feeling sometimes existing
between the negro and his former mas
ter, and the gratitude which good
treatment may inspire even in de-
spised race.-Youth's Companion.

Mr. Horr warmly defended Senator Morrill,
he said: When Senator Morrill, made the as
sertion that there had been no silver dol

1873. he did not mean to be taken
literally. He me1nt that in comparison
