The Poet.

He sang Of he burned mems blood
to spill,
And yet he could not Dear a fly to
kill.
Ecstatic verse in woman's praise he
made,
Though of all womankind he felt
afraid;
For such as loved not Natures
charms he Wept,
While to the crowded city streets he
kept:
He urged all men the simple life to
try,
But longed for things that wealth
alone could buy:
And the whole world praised, to his
shameless glee,
Not what he was. but what he'd hate
to be.
John d. Barry, in Harper's Weekly.

GOVERNOR MUST
EXPLAIN REMARKS
CritiGiSinlg Teachers and
Missionaries.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. %
(SpeciaD Regis M. Post, Governor of
Porto Rico, has come to Washington,
to explain charges recently made
against him by school teachers and
missionaries.
Mr.. Post was accused of insulting
missionaries and school officials and
belittling their work. He denies the
charges, and declares they were in
stigated in an effort to prevent his
confirmation as governor.
THE trouble grew out of some plain
remarks / made to few school in
spectors," said Mr.. Post today. These
were distorted and sent up here in
print a day or two before | left for
Porto Rico a month ago. | could do
nothing then, but after / reached
Porto Rico | made an investigation.
There are some persons down there
who do not like me. and the object
of the present trouble is to prevent
my confirmation by the Senate. Of
course, the charges made are false.
Speech Caused Trouble
The trouble appears to have it's
inception in speech the governor
made in September last to the school
superintendent Copies Of Porto
Rican newspapers received in Wash
ington represent the governor as
saying to these officials that they
were eXerting a worse influence in
the island of Porto Rico than any
other class of persons except the
missionaries Having received both
commentators and protests, the
President now wishes the governor to
come in person and tell his side of
the story
According to some of the Porto
Rican newspapers, part of Gov
Posts speech to the school superin-
tendents was as follows:
The school superintendent of
this island are a set of Pharisees, and
they have failed to cooperate with
me as they should. Not enc of you
has ever written me letter telling
me of politician who was running
a gambling hell, of a revenue agent
who was drunk, or an alcade who
was not performing his duty.

EUGENE SECURES
HISTORICAL RELICS
Were Personal Property of
Napoleon III, Her
Husband.

PARIS, June 2.-The Empress Eugene
has just won a suit in the Paris courts
against the government, which Will de-
prive the national museum OF a large
number Of objects Of historical interest
and value now being shown in them.
As far back as 1879 the empress
brought a lawsuit claiming the return OF
certain articles which had been the per-
sonal property Of her husband, the late
Emperor Napoleon III. These articles
had been appropriated by the state.
since the republic, and had been placed
in palaces OF the Elysee, Fontainebleau.
Versailles, Compiegne, RambocuilIet,
and the Louvre Museum.
At that period the courts found that
the august ladys claim was justified
in theory. but nothing more was done in
the matter. She has again brought the
matter before the Paris courts, whose
judgment is to the effect that as those
objects were in reality a personal s-op-
erty of the Emperor Napoleon III, and
as they are of minor interest from the
artistic or historical point Of view (thls
is 10 save appearances) they are to be
handed over to the Empress Eugene.
The articles include pictures. tapes-
tries. porcelain, snuff boxes, etc. but
the most interesting among them are
number of personal relics Of Napoleon I.
