Appearances.

One had long hair and high collar,
and the other had hair cropped close to
his head. Their silk hats were little
rusty, yet there was an air of gentility
about the two men. I saw them this
morning from the window of chop
house. They walked to the side door Of
a pawnshop across the way, after they
had first taken a furtive look about to
see if anybody observed them. They
would not have. been seen entering a
pawnshop for worlds. They came out
minute later. The one with the long
hair had one less watch chain than he
had when he went in. They stopped
within two feet of the door from which
they had come. The long haired man di-
vided some bills with his companion.
He looked at little slip of paper in his
hand, and any one might see that the
slip was pawn ticket. There they stood
for ten minutes by the side door of that
pawnshop, within sight Of Sixth avenue
and Broadway, that all who walked
might see that they had been to visit an
avuncular relative. Yet they would not
have thought of boldly entering that
pawnshop by the front door. - New

watch Chain Of Human Bones.

Cyrus o. Thornton, farmer living q
few miles out Of Bolivar, has an odd
watch chain. 1t is made Of human
bones. The chain consists Of eight links,
each trife more than an inch long,
connected by plated rings. The chain is
about ten inches long and has been high
ly polished by years of wear and glis-
tens like ivory.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1854. He was member
Of Company E. Fiftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty first
New York infantry made two chains
while confined in Libby prison and on
his release met Thornton and sold him
one chain for $50 in greenbacks. Thorn.
ton has forgotten the makers name
The bones were taken from amputated
arms and legs, and it required 10
months time to carve out the chains.
For many years after he came home
from the war Thornton wore the chain
every day, but for several years he has
worn it only on Memorial day and at
Grand Army reunions Some Of his
neighbors once laughed at the idea Of
the bones being taken from human bod
les, and he sent the chain to surgeon,
who examined it and pronounced it to
be Of human bones. Fall River News

Tho Gravitation Theory.


In one of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
G. F. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear of all doubt. Instead Of such be-
ing the case science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory Of gravitation as
involving paradoxes to this day unex-
planned, arguing that if bodies act up.
on each other at distance without any
intervening medium then thing can
act where it is not, which is an absurd
ity, while, on the other hand, il there
10 material medium filling all space,
and gravity is transmitted through
that by push rather than by pull,
then the transmission ought to occupy
some appreciable time, but this it does
not do, and at any rate, if its action is
not absolutely instantaneous, its veloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that Of light. Moreover,
every effort to represent gravitation as
tho result Of push from behind in
wolves absurdities Of various kinds In
fact, Newton's final conclusion was that
the philosophy of gravitation is abso-
lutely Uncomfortable and its action para
doxical.

A.rlueky Minister.

Sir John Dfumniond Hay was q. fine
aorseman, and on one occasion, having
been to interview the Moorish foreign
niniste, at Ell Araish, 60 miles from
Tangier, he desired to catch the outgo-
Ing steamer which left next morning.
He had arranged that four relays Of
horses should be i'll readiness for his re-
turn. On obtaining his reply he rode
of. His escort, thoughtfully provided
by the governor of Ell Araish, were early
in the race left behind. They declared
that Sir John, after outracing them,
'spread large wings and flew away"
He wore loose cape. On arriving at
the town of Azaila, half way to Tangier,
he discovered that his relay was locked
up in the stable, and, summoning some
loafers, he battered in the door, OBJ
tanned his mount and rode on till he
came up to his own pony. On reaching
the river he jumped his pony into the
ferry boat and out again on the oppo-
site side and finally reached Tangier,
having ridden the distance in five hours.
On another occasion, when out with
his children, fanatic attacked him
and one of his children, and Sir John
struck the man with the cane he carried
such blow as stretched him seemingly
lifeless Oh the ground. only vouohsating
the remark. "Take away the corpse. -
The crowd drew back, and the bigoted
pilgrim was taken to the hospital
So severe was the cut given by the cane,
present from Sir Walter Scott to Sir
Johns father, that we are told that the
basha sent to inquire the nature of the
weapon which had caused SO dangerous
awound. The companions of the fanatic
interceded for him, and Sir John, only
too ready to listen to them, had his as
sailant spared the bastinado.

During the summer of 1875 bands of
Indians returning from hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories Of hay-
ing seen at different times and In differ
ent places. and always in the center Of
large herd, white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to
overtake 1t to no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal.
At first we did not pay much attention
to these stories. but still it kept crop
ping up from different camps, and at
last. in the fall Of 1875, myself had a
chance to verify the truth of the report.
l had been sent on duty north along the
Red Deer river and was camped near q
large band Of Blackfeet, who were hunt
ing south Of that river. The buffaloes had
moved north in vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.
had gone out one morning with q
party Of Blackfeet to see one Of their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self. Ny horse was good one and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. I had got detached from the
party, becoming tired of the slaughter,
and must have been at least 30 miles
from camp. when made for small
clump of timber not far off, intending
to build a fire and roast portion Of
some buffalo meat had on tho saddle

band Of about 100 animals burst out Of
the brush and made off to the south,
and, yes. most certainly, In the middle
of them was white buffalo. Although
they were quarter Of mile away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and running like deer. There
was no time to much more than take in
the scene, but gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo On kill my horse
Oh, what a race it was, mile after

the exception of about dozen, had
split off and gone in different direc-
tions, the white animal, with his body

the same distance ahead. could catch
glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was SNOW white.
Get within shot could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also. had
good hopes Of coming up and getting a
shot. Alas, for such ohancel OF a
sudden my horse lurched forward on
his nose, sending me over his head on to
the prairie and turning somersault
