Elk Governor Kellogg, who has
broken away from Washington long
enough TO again visit his old haunts
in Louisiana. has succeeded in get
ting himself interviewed by the New
Orleans papers and gives expression
to his views upon the subject of sill.
yer and the next Republican Candi-
date for President. He gives it as
his opinion that the silver question
will be the paramount issue in the
next campaign and that the tariff
question will be given very little, If
any, consideration. Mr. Kellogg
says that Reed. of Maine, will be
the choice of the party for President
and that the Southern Republicans
should give him their support. The
second best man for Presidential
honors at this time is perhaps Sena.
tor Allison, of Iowa, but he declares
that neither Mckinley or Harrison
stand a ghost of a chance.-Crowley

How A Great Story Was
Written.

The history of any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always inter-
esting, therefore at the risk of being
accused Of violating personal conf
dence, we tell our readers of the
origin of a famous story of The late
war. The publishers Of the Chicago
Ledger wanted a story which. be.
sides being of great merit. should
wildly describe the thrilling events
of the battle of Gettysburg and the
siege OF Richmond. One author af-
ter another failed in the work. and
at last The famous st, George Rath.
burne was approached on the sub
ject. He demanded a fabulous price
for the work, but it was paid, and
the story was actually written to
order. It is however, printed under
the pen name of Hugh Allen" 1t
is declared by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story of the war ever written.
The first instalment of ii appeared
in No. 8 Vol. xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention. A private letter from
the editor informs Us that in order
to reach all class of people, the pub
fishers of the Ledger will mail the
opening chapters of the story free of
charge to all who seud in their
at once. The Ledger is a
great paper, and each week gives
story natter to make a great book.

London's wild book noga.

A tribe of wild dogs exist at the Lon
don docks which have real claim to
the title, since they belong to no one
and have passed through several gen.
erations literally "upon their own
hook" The dogs are not destroyed, as
they are useful in killing rats, and they
feed upon what they can find from the
refuse of the ships. One popularity of
this breed is that they con climb with
almost catlilzc dexterity. Tho wild
dogs OF the docks arc by no means saw
age; indeed, they are timid, and seldom
show them ives.

''Spealzin' of game men," remarked q
westerner with frowzled whislsers,
there was Sam Slug, of Slugville, as
we called him, but it wasn't his name,
that used to be city marshal of our
town. He was on the shoot in a min
ute, and when his gun went pop some
thing was bound to come down. I re-
member one night he went into o sa-
loon full of tough citizens to make an
arrest, and the gang was onto him. He
took his sixteen-shooter with him, but
the crowd was SO full they didn't seem
to take that into account, and when
Sam collared his man the row began.
When it was all over, the saloon was
cleaned out, and Sam and s.number Of
his Teller citizens occupied tho floor,
and we Ashed Sam out and took him, to
his boardin' house. he wasn't very
badly hurt, not near as bad, as the
others, and the next day, as I was

sit is not unlikely" says he, ''that
the equilibrium of the earth is already
considerably disturbed, and that we
shall shortly feel a pronounced wob-
ble."
OF course, If there Is to be wobble
anywhere we would prefer it in New
England, but perhaps the outlook is
not 80 desperate as at first glimpse.
The summer rush of people to the
White mountains, Bar Harbor, New
port and a thousand other New Eng
land summer resorts. must in a very
great degree restore the weight which
existed before there were quarries in
New England.
And there is another thing. It is
computed that there were in the west

These 1Oo, 1000, 900 of additional per-
sons have increased the weight of the
western hemisphere some 5000, 900 of
tons, in the roundest Of numbers.

wobble in this state of affairs, and we
