KANSAS SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY.
tchison Globe.

From the Atchison Globe.
 Sentiment is changing. When a minis ter calls. there Is no longer consterna- tion when he sees deck of cards on the table.
 As people grow older they begin to grow more alarmed over the brief time in which a family looks serious after there has been a death in it.
 Our heart goes out to a certain Atchi- son woman who was saving money to give big reception, and when she had just half enough her cook died.
 An Atchison girl is having her revenge. She is collector, and one of her bills is against a married man who left her to marry another girl, and whose domes- tic expenses have made him slow pay"
 One of the great problems that con- fronts a woman is that she doesn't know if her husband will come home feeling poor. and scold because she has so much to eat, or feeling rich, and scold because there is so little.

A Wa, and Marriage Hero.

From the Ozark Southern Star
 Last Monday morning two very old men walked into the court house. and on &C., count of their extreme age attracted considerable attention. It developed that . one of the parties, a MT. Sheppard, who was himself more than 90 years of age, was applying for a pension for service in the Mexican war; and MT. J. s. Earn est, who is 100, came along with him to furnish the proof of service for MT. Shep- pard. A Star reporter sought out MT. Earnest and obtained some information regarding himself. He was born in Ger. many on the 22d day of January. 1S0l. and left there with his parents when h, was years old. They afterwards settled in Meriwether County, Georgia, where he remained until 1858, when he moved to Butler County, Alabama. He moveil to Echo, in this county, during the month of January, and will likely remain there the balance of his life He served in the Mexican, Indian and civil wars. and is proud of his record as a soldier in each.
 He has been married six times, five of his wives having died and one now liv- ing He has sixteen children living. mono of whom are with him at this time. He is remarkably well preserved for a man of his extreme age, and appears to bc happy and enjoying life. He is making preparations to farm this year.

TWAIN's APPEAL TO CARNEGIE.

From William Curtis Washington Letter
 The other day Mark Twain wrote MT. Carnegie about as follows:
 My Dear MT. Carnegie-Understand that you have a great deal of money for which you find no immediate use and knowing your philanthropic spirit and your desire to help all worthy persons, I write to ask you to make me a contri- button of $1.50. I will tell you why I want the money. In my early youth my mother gave me a hymn-book which I have kept and used through all these years until it is entirely worn out. l feel that this sort of request will meet with a generous response from you. Very tru- ly, your old friend, MARK TWAIN.
 P. S.-Dont send a hymn-book - send the money.

From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
 Wall street received through a private cablegram yesterday intelligence that English spectators. awaiting the out come of the negotiations for the Steel Trust, have insured J. Pierpont Morgan's life for 0 sum aggregating nearly S2O, OOo,- 0OO
 This is equal to a hedge against loss which would certainly be occasioned by Morgans death, and Is a familiar safe guard to English manipulators, but so far is unknown in this country.
 The rate is said to be the enormous one of 3 per cent. a month. But the extra ordinary is explained by the fact that tho English companies make this sort of in- surance without examining the subject. and without, therefore, an accurate knowledge of the risk.
 It was found on Queen Victoria's death that English tradesmen had insured her life for enormous sums, but hitherto no- where else in the world has a particular industry hinged upon the life or death of one person.
 The tribute to Morgan's power, there fore, in this light, Is extraordinary.

A Big HoG.

From the Edwardsville Standard News.
 Isaac Blake of Stone Hill, one of our best and most substantial farmers, re- gently killed one of the largest hogs ever slaughtered in Cleburne County. It weighed 755 pounds net, and we learn that it was divided up as follows: GOO pounds of pork 125 pounds of lard and the same amount of sausage meat, besides forty five pounds of beeswax. We hardly sec how so much stuff could come out of one hog weighing only 755 pounds and tho beeswax feature will make every stock raiser in the country want a couple Of pigs of that particular breed.

in the Subsidy Business.

There are teachers in this State who deserve much better pay than they re- ceive, and there are teachers in this State who are receiving much better pay than they deserve; and as a rule it is the incompetent teachers who are exerting their pull at Montgomery against free schools, compulsory edu- cation and uniform textbooks. The Age-Herald is the firm and undertaking friend of the competent, but of the semi-polltical incompetents it is not a friend, and never will be.
 MT. Ellis of Huffman is competent teacher, who hopes for the reforms mentioned by and by, when he per haps is no longer on the active list. He conducts pay school, ahd he gives away his case when he says he has in his pay school six chi-dren whose fees are paid by their neighbors. MT. Ellis surely will not ask anyone to believe that his other students do not know on what terms the six unfortunate lit tie ones are in his school. They are not wide-awake if they do not know, and they would be angelic if they did not use that knowledge whenever tem- mar o, ,naannaas gain the inner hano

drunken negro women and men coming and going in all the forms of grossest immortality
 This outrage upon the Birmingham people, this den of desperate iniquity, is an afrront to every woman and child and every reputable man in the city. The Mayor and Aldermen know all these facts just as well as anybody else. That saloon is as much an affront to them and to their families as 1t is to all other citizens and their families; and there is therefore no possible excuse for any refusal on the part of the Mayor and Aldermen to close the saloon. They know the facts, and their duty is plain and I believe they will act in a straightforward moral man. ner.
 "In the name of the women and chill dren, in the name of decency, in the name of morality and respectability-let the Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham right this long-standing wrong, this cry ing infamy in the most public place!"

THE HAUNTED PALACE.

By Edgar Allan Poe. In the greenest of our valleys.
 By good angels tenanted. Once a fair and stately palace
 Radiant palace-reader it's head. In the monarch Thoughts dominion, It stood there: Never seraph spread a pinion
 Over fabric half so fair. Banners yellow golden,
 On its roof did float and flow. (This, all this, was in the olden
 Time, long ago) And every gentle air that dallied
 In that sweet day, Along the ramparts. plumed and pallid, A winged odor went away. Wanderers in that happy valley,
 Through two luminous windows, saw Spirits moving musically
 TO a lutes well-tuned law, Round about throne, where, sitting, Porphyrogene, In state his glory we'll befiitting,
 The ruler of the realm was seen. And all with pearl and ruby glowing Was the fair palace door, Through which she came flowing, flowing
 HOWlHB,
 And sparkling evermore, A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty Was but to sing, In voices of surpassing beauty,
 The wit and wisdom of their king. But evil things in robes of sorrow Assailed the monarch's high estate; (Ah! let us mourn, for never sorrow Shall dawn upon him desolate.) And round about his home the glory That blushed are bloomed Is but a aforementioned story
 Of the old time entombed. And travellers now within that valley Through the red-litten windows see Vast forms that move Enthusiastically To discordant melody; tt While, like a ghastly, rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever, And laugh-but smile no more.

Colonel Bob the Beloved.

"At last, in the full flower and plen- ty of young manhoods well-merited honors, my beloved Bob McDayid, whom all the public men of the State and thou sands of private citizens love to love and rejoice to admire, puts away from him the now enviable title of mister and rushes pelI-mell into the ever swelling ranks of the paper colonels," moaned one of the few misters of Alabama last night.
 Colonel Robert Patton McDavid, if you please, or whether you please. Bob the Beloved has been and gone and done it-or rather that other distinguished pa- per colonel the able and universally es- teemed Governor of Alabama, has went and did 1t with his new steel pen! He has made Master Robert an adyhon with the rank of colonel. So as to this brilliant and remarkably successful young man, this youngest and most popular secre- tary of state Alabama ever had, all those who hold him close to their hearts and in their comradeship must hereafter re- frain from the familiar Bob of happy days, and must address the secretary of state as Colonel-Colonel McDavid, secre-
