Someone Appears 10 Have Been Scared.

statement just made public may
somewhat sooth the wounded vanity OF
Lord Sackyille. He asserted in his silly
circular that the United States govern
ment sent him out Of Washington, at one
time TO get him out Of the way Of Irish
aeitators. This statement appeared ridi-
culous on the face of 1t and has generally
been secuted, and regarded as practical
joke played upon him by persons pretend
ing to be his friends and not to have been
the work OF the government. Now, how
ever no less an authority than Brig
Gen. Tidball, asserts, although he does
tails, that In May, 1883, Lord Sackyille was
taken on an excursion down the Chesa-
pcake for ten days on board government
vessel by General Sherman. General
Tidball was then de-de-camp to General
Sherman and In that capacity took care
of the British legation in Lord Sackville's
absence He also says that but four per
sons, President Arthur, Secretary Lin
coin, Gen Sherman and himself were
aware of the precautions, though the com
mandine officer Of the Washington
barracks and the chief of police were
warned to be ready for any emergency.

she unlocked, and so into room where

The Train Stopped For Mr.. Polhemus.

Mr.. Polhemus was very fond of duck
shooting, and he used to go to point near
Chesapeake bay whore the PENNSYLVANIA
had flag station. He was always left off
or taken on, whatever the train that passed
might be. One day Mr. Polhemus got on
a train with new conductor, and after
leaving Philadelphia he said to him, II
want to be let off at such station. :"
Can't let you off. I've had no such or
ders, " the conductor said. "Well, whether
you let mo off or not, the train will stop
there" said Polhemus. The train will
not stop there" said the conductor and
went on.
AT Wilmington Mr.. Polhemus inter
viewed the engineer, who knew him, and
no said to the engineer, Il suppose YOU
are going to have hot box when we get
near my flag station, and he slipped n
$40 bill into the engineers hand AS they
neared the station tho train slowed down,
and when it came to a stop the engineer
got OFF with his oil can and waste. Mr..
Polhemus also got off with his gunbap
ana bade the conductor an affectionate
goodby. A few days later an order was
issued that Mr.. Polhemus was to be let off
or taken ON at that station whenever no
desired
That at least is the story which is told
at the brooklyn club, and Mr.. Polhemus
has told 1T himself, although no said that
he had no other influence with the Penn
sylvania officials than that which was duo
to mutual respect and esteem. -Philadel.

HOW LOBENGULA DIED.
Lonely Grandeur of the Last Hours of the
Bloody King of Matabele Land.

A correspondent, writing to a South
African contemporary, supplies what he
states is the true story of the death of the
great Matabele chief, Lobengula. 1t is n
pathetic story. The correspondent relates:
'Lobengula, suffering from smallpox,
worn out by his long flight, disappointed
in his hope of peace and altogether broken
down by the loss of his country, his power
and possessions, came to a halt at last
among the mountains north of the Shan
gani river.
Here he begged his witch doctor to give
him poison with which to end his life but
tho man refused. The despairing chief
went up tho hill to the foot of the crag
which tops it, and sitting there he gazed
for long time at the sun as it slowly
sank toward the west. Then, descending,
he again demanded poison of his doctor
and insisted till finally it was given him.
Once more ascending the slope, no seated
himself against the krantz took tho poison
and gazed at the setting sun, stolidly
awaiting the death which presently put an
end to his sutferings and his blood stained
life.
There is something pathetic and grand
in the picture. 1t is the last scene of the
great epic, the conquest of Matabeleland
His followers found him seated there in
death, and piling stones and rocks around
him they left him. Whether he was placed
in his royal chair, thanked by guns and
covered over with his blankets and other
possessions, rs described in The South
African Review. 1 know not. All this
may be true, and also that strong pail
SADIE of tree trunks was planted around
this spot, but give the story as heard
it and believe that as it cmanates from
Mr. Dawson, it is the correct one. -

When Ex-Speaker Reed reached New

he alighted from the car and promenaded

met by u young man who represented
himself as beiug on the staff of the New
York World, and who cordially greeted
him. 1t is said that the New Haven
reporters did not recognize Mr.. Reed for
he had shaved off his moustache, which
had been allowed to grow during his
tarrying in Maine during the past sum-
mer. Tho World reporter took occasion &c
PROFOUND this leading question: "Who
will be the nominee of the Republicans
for President, Mr.. Reeds" The ex-speaker
took the young man one side, and with a
twinkle In his eye, said: You wish to
know who is to be nominated by the
Republicans as their candidate for Presi-
dent. 1t tell you where to obtain the
information you must not mention my
name in connection with the matter.

The falling off in the returns of colts to
the State board of assessors, and the In

significance. 1t indicates that the low
prices that have prevailed In the horse
market for several years past are produc-
ing their legitimate results. Horse breed
Ing is being abandoned by many farmers,
and dairying engaged In to greater ex-
tent, as far more assured source OF
income. There can he little doubt but
what the number of colts raised during
the past two years, not only in Maine,
but In other states of the Union, is
smallest for any similar length of time in
many years. The prediction of prom
inent horse dealer to q Journal reporter
not long ago, that horses were bound to
bring higher prices another season
appears to have much to substantiate 1t.
