Revolutionary Relic.

Troy, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. Mary
Inman, widow of the late Capt.
Chas. w. Iuman, who followed Gen.
Forrest four years of our civil war,
has in her possession an interesting
relic, a spoon made of a buffalo's
horn. The spoon is larger than a
tablespoon, more on the order OF a
soup ladle, black, and is handmade
and very deliberately carved. THIS
spoon was made in ITO by Israel
Putnam and has carved on the han
die II. p. 1770." In 1777, during
the revolutionary war, and while
Gen. Putnam was stationed at
Philadelphia, he gave this spoon to
Captain Jonathan Langdon, Mrs.
humans great grandfather, who
was serving on Gen. Putnam staff.
At the close of the war Capt. Lang
don returned to his home in Yer
mont, carrying this spoon with
him. After Putnams death in 1870,
Captain Langdon refused many Of
fers to sell the spoon. At his death
the spoon was given to his eldest
daughter, who, on her deathbed,
gave the spoon to her eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Chiffon, the mother of
Mrs. lnman, who gave it to Mrs,
Inman with instructions to always
keep the spoon in the family by
handing it down from generation
to generation, always to the oldest
daughter.
The spoon has been highly priced
and we'll taken care of and is to-day
as serviceable as the day it was
made, despite the 136 years it has
been in use and the many moves it
has taken from Vermont to Ten
nessee.

WASHINGTON. January 2.-Reports of
fresh trouble on the isthmus OF Panama
were received in Washington to-day. Po-
litical and commercial dissatisfaction is
rife among the natives, with prospects OF
a revolution looming up. There are two
distinct political elements in Panama.
One strongly favors annexation of the
entire republic and the other is hostile
to the American administration. and is
trying by every means in its power to
embarrass Governor Magoon by stirring
up dissension and discomfort among the
Panamans. An old-time reyolutionist
named Huertes is prominent factor in
creating discord. He wants to get rid
of all United States influences in the
Isthmus.
that Is anxious to see the entire republic
pass under the control of the United
states. This is represented by the solid
business interests. who believe that Pan
ANA is destined to become wonderfully
important commercial center. They are
anxious that stable government be es-
stablished, and believe that IL annexation
comes 1t viii advance values and give n
permanency to things that will greatly
profit business. This scheme Is bitterly
opposed by clique of land spectators.
