The contemporary chimney sweeps,

tion to the ancient order commiserated
by Lamb and purposely championed by
Dickens only in their SCOT grimed hands
and blackened countenances. One Of
these, testifying at the inquest over
William Price, summed up the grand
difference between original worth and
present degeneracy. "Lor' bless you,

A Novel Entertainment.

A wealthy st. Louisan living in the
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided a
novel form of entertainment for his
wife's guests one evening, says the st.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edi.
fication Of a score Of guests whom she
intended to call together for an informal
evening. Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device of converting the elegant
parlors into gambling house pro tenn.
A faro bank, roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro.
durable, as the conferees we'll knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled. The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the introduction of a
pair Of bulldogs, guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat in three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambi.
tious host, but his friend is ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence he always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be failure
without those bulldogs.
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed to 1t
in an astonishingly short time and shar-
ed in the games with becoming vim. 1t
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror Of the fair guests proved genuine.
The beasts yelped and growled and
showed other peculiarly canine symp-
toms Of "spoiling for fight" There.
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi-
ano and card tables and chairs, con-
Quoting their retreat as from mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to novelty in entertain
ment unleashed the dogs. 1t was an ex-
citing climax to an Original" evening.
The dogs Toasted for five minutes on
choice bits of each others anatomy.
The ladies screamed and the friend who
was consulted exulted in the success Of
his novelty. When he was quite con.
vinced-and it took considerable time
to convince him-that the ladies' desire
for gore had been fully gratified, he
doused the dogs into convenient tub
of water and separated them.

King Corn.

1t is not beyond the realms of the
possible to expect Il sharp advance in
corn before the crop of 1897 is gath
cred. But even without that, corn
growers are not entirely discouraged.
Secretary Wilson recently wrote: "yNc
notice in many exchanges articles bear
ing on the question of what the Iowa
farmers shall now raise for a substi-
tute for corn and oats, assuming the
growing of these cereals to be no long
er profitable. This thing looks funny
to us. The bushel of corn is the farm
er's raw material. Converted into.
beef. pork. mutton, poultry, eggs. but
ter or cheese, one year with another it
will bring him forty cents IL bushel,
and Oftener more than this than less.
What shall he raise in place of corn?'
Why, more corn. The more ten-cent
corn a man has in his cribs when he
has the right sort of machines to work
it up, the better he is off. Nothing On
earth can be done for the man who
either will not or cannot farm in this.

Personal Events" article Of the Ladlesf
Home Journal. Broadway was a be!
wildering sight, densely packed with
enthusiastic, cheering crowds; the
houses were literally buried by flags.
bunting, greens, and other decorations.
About the City Hall the colors of Hun
gary floated in profusion, always
fanked By the American flag. At the
magnificent aud inspiring spectacle
Kossuth was evidently amazed. "It
was more than he expected, and as lie
calmly viewed the scene lat Broadway
and Ann street, he was startled by the
thunderous shout of welcome from ad-
mirers that had gathered ut the Astor
House. He looked up and saw every
man in the windows and on the porch
cheering and waving his hat in a fren-
~ OF enthusiasm, and the women sa-
lut!ng him with equal favor. Kossuth
gracefully bowed, not once. but twice,
thrice. a dozen times. During this rec
ognition the scene grow in enthusiasm
until the effect was almost bewilder-
ing. 1t seemed as If the populace had
gone mad. Again and again did Kos
sutll rise and bow, until finally he
stood up in his carriage, hat in hand,
radiantly smiling. But the scene did
not end here. The procession was tenn
porarily halted by the immense crowd.
The passage of the carriages was al.
most impossible. Again loud huZzals
for kossuth We're Numbered forth by
thirty thousand persons of all classes
and ages, and once more did Kossuth
rise and stand in his carriage. The
Hungarian aides, who followed imme
diately after Kossuth's carriage. came
In for their share of applause: they.
too. We're cheered heartily. They re.
turned the compliment by waving theil
Hungarian banner. Again thirty thou,
sand voices We're raised in honor of the
great Hussar, and again the Hussar
flag was lowered. 1t is impossible to
adequately describe the scene that fol.
lowed. Those who witnessed it re
member it, and will recall it as the
most remarkable event of its kind in
the history of our country"

FIxiTY OF
The Origin of Darwin's Theory of
Evolution.

As long ago rs July 1, 1897. young
Darwin, then % eight years of age.
had opened Il private journal, in which
he purposed to record all facts that
came to him which seemed to have any
bearing on the moot point of the doc
trine of transmutation of species. -Four,
or five years earlier, during the course
of that famous trip around the world!
With Admiral Fitzroy, as naturalist to
the Beagle, Darwin had made the per-.
sonal observations which first tended!
to shake his belief in the fiXity of spe,
cies. In South America, in the Pam
pean formation, he had discovered!
great fossil animals covered with ar
NOR like that on the existing armada
los" and had been struck with this
similarity of type between ancient and
existing faunas of the same region.
He was also greatly impressed by the
manner in which closely related spe-
cies of animals We're observed to re-
place one another as he proceeded
southwark over the continent; and "by
the South American character of most
of the productions of the Galapagos,
AASAApSAaSoS anu LIOLC especially Uy
the in which they differ on
each island of the group, none of the.
islands appearing to be very ancient IN
Il geological sense"
AT first the full force of these obser-
vatiOns did not strike him; for, under
sway Of LydelTs geological concep-
lions, he tentatively explained the rel
ative absence of life OH one of the
Galapagos Islands by suggesting that
perhaps no species had been created
since that island arose. But gradually
it dawned upon him that such facts as
he had observed could only be explain-
ed on the suppositlon that species grad
ually become modified" From then
on, as he afterward asserted, the sub
ject haunted him. 1t will thus be seen
that the idea of the variability of spe-
cies came to Charles Darwin as an in
ference from personal observations in
the field, not as u thought borrowed
from books.-Harper's Magazine.

political prisoners and exiles. This
brought Manisat directly to Hayti, and
the the rebel touched foot on the
island he was given his choice between
going to prison and going to France as
minister from Hayti. Manigat chose the
French mission. but President Faure re-
fused to accept him. Another good coup
accomplished by Sam was his suppression
of the riot concerning Fouchard, the min
lister of finance, whom the people charged
with embezzlement. Sam afterward dis
lodged Fouchard. The lntter's fight was
taken up by the minister, but Sam threw
out of power the entire cabinet. He met
his match in Emperor William, however,
who promised to teach him manners and
kept his word.
