COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A Good Story.

A good story is told concerning the
famous campaign between Bob and
ALI Taylor for the Tennessee Cover
norshlp few years since. Bob fore
saw that he would surely defeat ALI
in.the race and so, to add to the de-
bate, he invented fable, which he
told at Alf's expense. 1t was this:
On one occasion coon which was
very thirsty came to well, out of
which the water had to be drawn by
a bucket attached to either end of
rope on windlass' The coon fell on
the plan of getting into the empty
bucket, and, by means Of his own
weight, descending to the water be-
low.
, Once down in the well, it dawned
on Mr.. Coon that there was no way by
which he could again raise himself
out of the we'll. While pondering
over the problem he espied an opos-
sum at the mouth of the we'll. "Come
down and get drink" said Mr.. Coon
to Mr.. Opossum. Thanks, believe
I will" and the opossum entered the
empty bucket at the top of the well.
AS he started to go down the coon
started up, and as the buckets passed
midway Of the well the coon re-
marked:
The world goes round and round,
And some go up and some go down.
Bob won in the race. On election
night he telegraphed this couplet to
ALT as a greeting over the result
Four years went by and Bob wound
up his last term as Governor and re-
tired from the arena of public life.
At the same time ALI was triumph
antly elected to Congress from the
First Tennessee District. On election
night he telegraphed Bob:
The world goes round and round,
And some go up and some go down.

TALE OF A RESENTFUL CAT.
A Story That the Reader May Think Re-
quires an Affidavit.

.. A~AAOS ~
Blossom is IL big gray cat. She has been
in the family for seven years, and her mis-
tress thinks she was fully ten when she
came unlimited and took possession. Her
charms made her welcome, and visitors, as
a rule, pet her to her hearts satisfaction.
Still, she shows her loyalty to her mistress
by many feline felicities. One day a young
man came for a short visit. He was an
inveterate tease. AS there was no one else
for a victim, he took Blossom in hand, in
spite of %pleadings and protestations.ts Her
ears were greeted with the stradge terms,
cold rascal" "Scapegrace,' - "Tramp,"
and kindred names, till the astounded cat
did not know what had come to her. Her
pretty ways disappeared, she fled from his
approach and hid whenever she could till
he was out of the house.
One morning she was missing for some
hours and was not to be found in any of
her hiding places. A loud cry from the
chambermaid revealed her whereabouts.
Blossom had revenged herself on the visit
or's nightshirt, which lay in tatters on
the floor. Pussy was scolded, and every
one was cautioned to keep the door shut.
In vain! The cat would find her way in
and hide till the chambermaid was through
for the day, and cher the claws went to
work, first on the visitors own clothes if
any could be found, and then on the pillow
cases. The young man tried to soothe her
feelings, but she would have none of him,
and he was glad to cut short his visit.
Blossom quickly recovered her usual de-
meanor and has never keen known to de-
stroy anything from that day to this

sCHNAUBELT IN CALIFORNIA.

The Anarchist Bombthrower of Haymar-
ket Fame Located at at Vallejo.
CHICAGO, May l4.-The Times-Herald
San Francisco correspondent says Ru-
dolph Schnaubelt, the anarchist who
threw the bomb in the Chicago Hay
market nine years ago, has been i'll Cal
ifornia for at least a year. He was seen
in Vallejo less than two weeks ago, and
it is believed that he is either hiding in
that place now or is en- route for Rio de
Janeiro, where he lived until the out
break of the recent revolution.
According to the dispatch, the con.
lecture of the police that Schnaubelt
fed to Mexico was correct. He re-
NAMED in that country several years,
and then went to Rio Janeiro, where
he found work in a government ma
chine shop. The breaking out of the
revolution gave Schnaubelt a splendid
opportunity to put in play his training
as a member Of the celebrated anarchist
group that developed Bombmaker
Lingg, and as he cast his lot with the
revolutionary party, he soon found
favor in the eyes Of it's leaders.
He made bombs for use as hand gre
nades. that proved Of inestimable value

HARD TO PLEASE.
A Portrait Painters Experience with .
Prince of Korea.

A Portrait Painters Experience with .
Prince of Korea.
A young Englishman visiting Korea
was induced to paint the portrait Of the
commander IN chief of the Korean land
forces, Prince Min Yomy Huan. Eleven
o'clock in tho morning was the hour fixed
upon for the sitting. At $3.50 the prince,
having been unable to sleep for excite
ment, arrived at the place of appointment,
and the artist was forced to hop out of bed
and begin work.
GAS 1 posed him." says the artist, che
did not utter a word nor wink an eye. And
during tho whole of a sitting of nearly
three hours he sat motionless and speech
less like a statue. 1T is finished, 1 finally
said, and he sprang up in a childish fash
ion and came over to look at the work.
His delight was u%nbounded, and he
seized my hand and shook it at intervals
for nearly half an hour, after which he
suddenly became grave, stared at the can
vas and then looked at the back of it. He
seemed Mortified. What is it?' 1 inquired.
You have not put in my jade ornament
he said almost in despair. I had painted
his portrait full face, and as the Koreans
have the strange notion of wearing their
decorations in the shape of a small button
Of gold, silver, jade or amber behind the
left ear this did not appear thereon.
II then tried to demonstrate, saying that
it Is impossible to show both back and
front at once, but as he seemed distressed
at what was to him a great defect I COM
promised the matter by making another
large but rapid sketch of him from q side
point Of view, so as to include the decora-
ton and the rest rather magnified in size.
You will find no fault with this one, l
remarked with confidence. Alas! my Ko-
rean sitter advanced to the portrait, scru-
tinizcd it carefully and turned to me ag-
grievedly. Yes, he admitted, you have
painted my decoration we'll, but where is
my other eye?' San Francisco Argo-

The Old woman's Lotion.

Mr.. Baring-Gould, in a letter to The
Sunday Magazine, ar English publication,
says he was recently advised by one of the
last remaining "old village wise women
to apply to his sprained wrist a lotion COM
posed of six oils, which she described as
''oil of turpentine, Of suillowes, Of earth
worms, Of nerve, Of opidillidock, and of
Spanish feas." The amount of each was
to be two ounces. "Fleas," he knew,
meant "hies." but for ''suillowes'' he
could think of squills as the probable
modern equivalent. This interpretation,
it seems, was wrong. Somebody better
versed in village lore wrote to a London
paper that coil of swallows is what the
antique dame intended to prescribe, and
that it is, or was, a very common "coun-
try remedy" though it contains no swal-
lows. 1t is, in fact, oil of elder. Swal-
lows, however, and earthworms also, had
at one time a place in official dispense
tories. Both are to be found in !Culpeper's
edition of the London Pharmacopnia,
where also are many other equally curious
materia medica, some Of which still lnger
on Unpopular estimation.

HAS a A STIR.

Earl of selborn Proposes to Test Some
English Parliamentary Questions.
LONDON, May 14.-Much stir has been
created in certain circles by q letter
published in the London Times signed
by the Hon. GeorgeN. Curzon, member
of parliament, and the Hon. William
St. John Freemantle Broderick, mem
Der of parliament, announcing that the
Earl of Selborn, who succeeded to the
title on the death of his father on May
5, and who, as Viscount Wolmer, rep
resents West Edinburgh in the house Of
commons, proposes shortly to raise the
question whether a peer of the realm
can continue to sit in the house of COM
non or be elected a member Of that
body.
The Earl of Selborn intends, it ap-
pears, to continue attending sittings of
the house, contending that until he APP
plies for his seat in the house Of lords
his status in the house Of commons is
not affected. The letter refers to Lords
~Palmerston, Castlereagh, Iddesleigh
and others who forewent their seats in
the house Of lords in order to retain
civil appointments.
Authorities Are Divided.
The Times commenting ed~itorially
upon the letter, points u that the au-
thorities are divided upon the question
whether a seat in the house Of commons
becomes vacant by the mere fact of the
holders succession to the peerage. The
Times supports the Earl Of Selborn's &C.
ton, saying that he is quite entitled to
challenge an authoritative decision and
that he deserves credit for his deter
mination to bring the question to a
definite issue.
The st. James Gazette, on the other
hand; seems to be rather frightened at
the possible outcome of the Earl of Sell
born's project and says:
IF he succeeds, there will be a de-
mand for a general settlement and re-
casting Of the house Of lords, with the
introduction Of some form or other Of
an elective element"

THE WoMAN,S BIBLE.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Other Women
to Correct Some Errors of Translation.
CHICAGO, May IA local paper
says:
Woman, in the person of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, has laid her hand upon
Genesis, the Exodus, Leviticus, the
Psalms of David and the Song of Solo
mon, the scripture Of. M atthew and the
word Of the Acts, and is about to bring
forth from them and their companion
pieces a new Bible. The revision or
new translation is to be 'sThe Woman's
Bible"
The version of the Bible addressed to
'.The Most High and Mighty Prince
James," and the revision Of the same,
completed but a few years ago, leaves
woman's position in the scriptures, as
serts Mrs. Stanton, far inferior to that
of man.
These Her Associates.
Mrs. Stanton's co.laborers or apostles
in the the preparation of the new work
are named to include Lady Henry
Somerset, Miss Frances Lord, Frances
E. Willard, Rev. Phoebe Hanaford,
Rev. Olympia Brown, Mrs. Robert In
gersoll, Lille D. Blake and Mary A.
Livermore.
Sufficient attention has not been
given,' said Mrs. Stanton, to the posi-
ton of woman in the divine book. The
agitation to secure equal rights and
privileges for woman, the Bible is con-
stantly referred to, to show the inferi-
GRITTY Of the sex. This being SO, it is
absolutely necessary that misconcep-
tions of the Bible in regard to woman,
arising from wrong translation and in
terpretation should be corrected.

Manitoba Land Case to Be Carried to the

ST. PAUL, May 14.-It is probable
that the st. Paul and Northern Pacific
will appeal to the supreme court Of the
United States from the decision handed
down by the United States circuit
court of appeals last Tuesday in favor
of the Manitoba company in the suit
brought by the St. Paul and Northern
Pacific, involving the title to 100, 900
acres Of land north of St. Cloud. This
decision reversed the Judgment of the
court below in favor of the st. Paul
and Northern Pacific, which held that
the company had no title to the lands
in the suit. and ordered that the bill of
complaint be dismissed.
