Inuuest Over Holeman.

Last night Coroner N. R. Rodes held
an inquest over the body of James
Scott Holeman, the negro who was
killed yesterday noon by the Wabash
passenger. After hearing the evil
dence of several witnesses who saw
the sad accident, the jury returned the
following verdict:
"We, the jury, find from the evil
dence that James Scott Holeman (col-
ored) came to his death by being
struck by a Wabash passenger engine
in East Mexico, while walking on the
track, about twelve thirty this, the
End day of November, 1897. And we
further declare that it was through
his own negligence, the Wabash Com
psny being not to blame for the same.

The Death of Pontiac.

In April, 1869, Pontiac went to St
Louis. One day he arrayed himself in the
uniform of French officer, given to him
years before ly the Marquis of Montcalm.
After visiting his old friends, he repaired
to the village of Cahokia, across the Mis-
sissippi, where he Joined in IA feast given
by the Illinois. In the early morning he
left the town for the forest, singing as he
went. An English trader, Wilkinson by
name, thinking to rid his country of q
dangerous enemy, promised an Illinois In
dian IA barrel of rum to murder the famous
chief. This treachery on the part of one
of their number cost the Illinois dear, for
Pontiac's friends did not cease in their
vengeance until they had practically wiped
out the Illinois nation. The body of the
chief was buried with military honors
near the fort at ST. Louis. "Neither
mound nor tablet" says Parkman,
marked the burial place of Pontiac. For
a mausoleum city has risen above the
forest hero, and the race whom he hated
with such burning rancor trample with
unceasing footsteps over his forgotten
grave. "-Charles Moore in Harper's Mag
azine.

The French peasant as described by the
masters of the naturalistic school, is capa-
bic of both villainy and improperly, but
such writers, says Andre Theuriet, in
Rustic Life In France" have deliberate
ly selected exceptional cases. Like most
hard working people the peasant, however
imperfect his education, is sensible and
sober and not without finer feelings

of the commune, was walking sadly over

he flew upward. One of the two men hoe
ing lifted his eyes and exclaimed, in tone
which touched me:
Poor little lark, how he sings!'
This exclamation seemed to express
sort of melancholy surprise at hearing this
fortunes.
Not only is the peasant susceptible to
delicate emotions, but he is poet in his
way. If the provincial language is care
fully studied, one is very much surprised
and delighted to be constantly discovering
ingenious, striking, glowing images.
If there is fresh breeze blowing, the
peasant will tell you that "tho weather is
gay" If it is muggy and cloudy, "the
weather is sick" No poet is more ready
than the peasant to personify inanimaue
objects. This land does not yield any
