"Unole Billy's" Political Record.

In every county Of Kentucky you will
find a lot Of old men who take great pride
In telling you that for 40 or maybe so
years they have never voted anything but
the Democratic ticket. They began per-
haps with jackson and have come on down
the line. An old man Of this sort, who
was called Uncle Billy and who was very
close listed, n day saw a group of voters
about Governor Proctor Knott. Uncle
Billy, leaning on his tall staff, edged his
way in and asked to be introduced. He
was formally presented "as the oldest vot-
or in the county" eyes, gov'nor,'' said
Uncle Billy, with evident pride, 81 GER
tainly am the Oldest voter in the county.
Eff airy maj will fetch a man as has
throwed more Democrat votes than I hev,
I'll furnish the liquor" Hereupon sew
eral of the crowd, knowing Uncle Billy's
stinginess, but & for any chance to
come into a treat, pricked up their ears,
and Uncle Billy, noticing this and be-
coming alarmed at the probable outlay if
he should be proved wrong, hemmed and
hawed and added, "Thatis, I'll furnish the
liquor to airy man as fetches the man.

Disinterested.

1t Is said that the extraordinary infu-
ence which Agassiz exerted over men who
had only a slight perception of the scope
OF his wonderful mental powers was due
as much to u universal belief in his disin-
terestedness as to his magnetic personality.
Mr.. 3. p. Whipple once told an incident
which illustrated this fact.
On one occasion, when his museum was
In need of money for a purely scientific
purpose, he invited the members of the
legislature of the state of Massachusetts
to visit it, with the design Of inducing
them to vote the sum he required. After
q short, persuasive address delivered in the
hall of the museum, he led them over the
building, pointing out the great things
that had been achieved and the still great
er things that were to follow if his plan
was carried out.
In ascending the stairs I happened to
overhoar two intelligent legislators, evil
IDENTIFY farmers, who were considering the
propriety of giving the proposed legislative
aid.
II don't know much,' said one, sabout
the value of this museum as a means of
education, but of one thing I am certain
that if we give Agassiz the money he
wants, he will not make a dollar by it.
That in his favor"
The appropriation was made a day or
two after, though it was generally consid-
cred that no other man could have wrung
the sum from the reluctant hands of that
economical legislature.

She Mourned.

To those who can tell an Irish story
well, with all it's rich brogue and rolling
RS, this is suggested as q good one:
Mrs. S. was much interested at one
time in a poor widow whom she had en-
ployed, who found great difficulty in get
ting a living. After a while, however, the
widow married a man with some money
and In a fair business, and Mrs. S. rejoiced
over her fortunate prospects. A few weeks
later, however, she met the former widow
dressedi in the deepest Of mourning. Shock
ed and sympathetic, Mrs. S. said, "'Why,
Mary, I hope you have not met with any
loss"
"Sure, Mrs. ST." replied Mary, t.swhen
my poor Tim died, was that poor that I
couldn't put on the bit Of mourning for
him, and I said that when I could I would,
and SO I am.

Death and Rest.

The lines engraved on Professor Hulk
ley's tombstone show a confusion of
thought that Il would not expect in the
burial place of this great man:
And if there be no meeting past the grave,
If all is darkness, silence, yet tits rest.
It is not rest. There is no rest where there
Is no consciousness. Rest implies con
seriousness. We lie down, we sit down, to
rest; we enjoy the repose. If death is an
Initiation, there is nothing; neither light
nor darkness; neither work nor rest.
There Is nothing. There are no words by
which we can express humiliation, be-
cause there are no thoughts by which we
can understand the state of nothingness.
To me this total inability to understand
nothingness is one of the thousand indi-
cations Of the continuity of life.-Walter
Resent.

Hadn't Earned tho Reward.

A TAT man carrying a gun and leading a
dog made a dash down Market. street for
the Oakland ferryboat. He could have
caught it If he had walked quietly along,
but he became excited, and old Time COM
menced having fun with him. The dog
would run on the wrong side of telegraph
poles and hydrants, and tangle up his
chain in the legs of pedestrians. BY the
time spent in apologizing and untangling
the dog he was delayed till the little gate
closed in his face. Then he ran around to
the big gate, lodged around a mail wag-
on, n made a run for the boat. The deck
hands raised the apron and the boat NOV
ed slowly out, but he was determined to
catch it, and, gripping his gun and dog
chain q little tighter, made a run and
sprang into the air. The boat was only six
feet away, but the dog baked at the apron.
The hunter stopped in the middle of his
leap, his feet flew out toward the steamer,
and he dropped into the bay like a bale of
hay. A small boy who was fishing from
the wharf dropped his pole, splashed into
the water, and towed the fat man to a
pile, where he chung uill a boatman pulled
him out.
"My boy, you saved my life," he ex-
claimed enthusiastically, rs he kicked the
dog and tried to wiring the water out of
his shotgun. "Let me reward YOU"
He thrust his hand into his clammy
pocket and fished out q wet 10 cent piece.
"There, my boy; take that, but don't
spend it foolishly."
"No, sir; 1 can't take it, sir. The
boy pushed the generous hand aside. II
didn't earn it."
"Why, yon saved my life, boy"
Eyes, | know it, sir; but it amt worth
10 cents!'-San Francisco Post.

a Robber Band That Captured Its VIC
Tins In . Novel Manner.
"When I was in Nebraska, near the
Snake river, north of the Great Sand hill,
in 1862" said a Lewiston citizen, 1--WE had
four camps situated about IS miles apart,
md to go from Thorne's camp to Durham
camp 1T was necessary to go through a
long piece of pine woods. For a number of
months every one who had gone through
the woods alone never came back. One
day 1t was necessary that I should 90
through with q lot of money and no escort,
and I set out on a horse that I got from a
stable keeper near Thorne camp. When I
had nearly reached the woods five miles
out, my horse was taken i'll and foaming
at the mouth and refused to go on. Clear
~ to my medical eye it had been poisoned
slightly by some one. A man not SO we'll
up in medicine might not have known it.
Soon what looked like a hunter came along
on a horse and offered to swap, taking
mine back to the stable If I would leave
his near Durham camp with q trapper. I
ought to have seen through this, but did
not.
II got on to the powerful horse of the
stranger and started through the five miles
OF woods. Half way through, without ap-
parent reason, the horse broke into a trot,
q gallop and finally a run, and dashing off
the trail through the woods, picked his
way among trees as nicely as if he had
gone that way 100 times. Pull as I would
at the bride, he paid no attention, but
ran the faster. When he had leaped a brook
and landed on the sand beyond, the marks
of footprints alarmed me, and I slipped off
at the risk Of my life. He ran on up a ra-
vine and I hid, fearing that it was a trap,
as 1t afterward proved. In a little while
three men armed with rifles came back on
the trail, one riding the horse, now as
calm as a lamb. I picked my way to the
road and got to the camp.
1.-TWO weeks later 10 Of us followed a
man who hired a horse at the same place
I did. 1t was taken i'll, and the same trap
per came along on the same horse. When
the horse dashed into the woods as he had
been trained to do, 10 of us dashed after
him, and finally arrived at a mountain
camp of the robbers. We took every man
seven of them, and-well, law was not
we'll supported out there then, and no
court sat nearer than 200 miles. We didn't
carry the rascals away from their own
campfire. The trained horse met the fate
of it's owners. Lewiston journal.

Its Possibility Not Proved = Conclusion.
Reached by q Medical Writer.
An interesting article on the alleged
communicating Of canoe of malignant
growth appears in The Medical Record.
1t says, in part: -
From the time that the malignancy of
cancer was recognized, the question Of
oomlmunicability has borne the brunt of
the most earnest investigation, and the
hope Of it's solution has stimulated the
most ingenious experimentation Of earnest
Investigators. The results of all such
studies have been entirely negative. There
are no proofs of which we have any knowl-
edge that cancer has ever been directly or
Indirectly propagated from one human be-
ing to another. 1t is true that there is
published al occasional case in which
there would appear on superficial exami-
nation to be u direct relation between
cause and effect, but when such are crit,
ically examined the theory Of propagation
vanishes in face Of a conscientiously crit
ical analysis. At best they are coincidental
circumstances following the general law
of accidents. Experiments in the lower
animals have thus far amounted to moth
Ing, and practically we are as much in the
dark regarding the true etiology Of cancer
and it's real methods of dissemination as
ever.
The Investigations in these directions
have been exceedingly interesting, al
though mostly instructive from a negative
view.
A person predisposed to any disease ia
always an easy victim when any definite,
exciting cause presents itself, while one
without such tendencies escapes every
time.
The writer concludes by saying that the
death Of a physician of this city from sup
posed incubation of cancer twas ndoubt-
eddy one of p~redisposition to malignant
disease that developed in due time, the
supposd incubation from a cancerous pa,
tient having no more c%ausative relation to
it than any other purely coincidental cir
oumstance. New York Tribune.
