Sheldon $. Lawton of Branchville, South Carolina, wrote to Hon. Benja- min R. Tillman. asking him whether he favored government pensions for the ex-slaves. The senator wrote back: "I cannot undertake championing pen sioning ex-slaves. but I would very cheerfully vote for such a measure if I had the opportunity. In feeling around here, however, I find that the idea is hooted by all negro-loving statesmen from New England and all other north ern States. Of course, there is no req son for nensioning ex-slaves, as they did not serve in the army, but would be willing to see them get a pension for the reason that it would carry back to the South some of the taxes We now pay. The South contributes forty to fisty millions d year to pension Union soldiers. none or very little of which returns to us. Of course, if ten or if teen millions could be brought to the South by pensioning old negroes it would benefit the whole country down there. For that reason the Yankees will never consent to it.''

That is a queer schooiroom in the Paris prison for juvenile offenders. The system of this prison is that of solitary confinement, the whole building being so constructed that each of the detach- ed cells is overlooked by a warder sta- toned on a small observation tower The schoolroom consists of two hundred cells in the form of an amphitheatre from each of which the teacher, and the teacher only, can be seen. Each of the youthful offenders takes his place in silence, the first in the furthermost cell and the others in rotation. The closing of one of these cell doors opens that of the next cell. The voice Of the teacher is the only sound to be heard in the building. Religious services are conducted in the same way, each of the inmates being able to see the officiating priest and him alone.

Chies Bemidji, the oldest and one of the best known Indian chieftains of the Northwest, is dead at Cass Lake, Min nesota. at the age of eighty-five. He participated in many of the Indian wars in the Northwest. and much has been written concerning him. The town of Menidii was named after him. For many years before the advent of the first white settler, Bemidji lived on the present townsite of the same name and endeavored to secure the land as his allotment. He failed to have it allotted him. and then tried to secure the land under the homestead laws, by abandon ing his tribal relations. His friends contend that he was defrauded out of i..
