How He Gained Title.

In the Senate cloakroom one afternoon last
winter some one began chatting Senator Black
burn on the exceedingly great number of gen
erals majors and ''colonels' dwelling In the
State of Kentucky. Mr.. Blackburn took the
chanf in good part; indeed, he even added to the
merriment.
"A gentleman from Georgia who was visiting
Lexington" he attests. was presented to a
Major Titherington of that place. The Georgian.
whose family has always been more or less in
clined to the military, was charmed by the ge-
niality of his new acquaintance, and. as South
erners are accustomed to do under such circum-
stances, began to question him as to his ante
eedents. Eventually they discovered that they
were kin in greater or less degree.
NOW, tell me- said the Georgian, how you
gained the rank of major-in the civil war, /
presume?'
"'No, SIR replied the major.
oh. / see.' responded the other. then you
were, perhaps, in the volunteer service during
the recent little affair with Spain?'
No, SIR said the major. imperturbably; TO
tell you the truth. sir, I'm called Major be-
cause I married the widow of the late Major
Sparks "-Washington Post.

The former Grand vizier of Persia, Mira
Argahar Khan, is on his way to this coun-
try. He is a fugitive from justice in his
own land, having caused the death of the
Governor of Ratch. In fact, he is a pois-
oner. The Shah of Persia sends a cup Of
poison to a disgraced official, and the off,
cial counts it a point of honor to swallow
the contents without delay or question
The Grand Nizier did not like the Gov
erner. SO he took it upon himself to send
a cup Of poison in the name OF the Shah.
Then he got out of the country as quickly
as possible He has been visiting in Japan,
and now he announces that he will come to
America. Will he be allowed to land? We
exclude Anarchists, and there seems to be
no good reason why we should admit as
sassins of public officials. This Grand
Vizier comes up to all our ideas of such
dignitaries, as gained from the Arabian
Nights, but he seems hardly a proper per-
son TO be allowed entrance to the United
States.
