How Brother Anthony Was Once Sorely Tempted. The following conversation took place between a well-knowa man and ove of his porters, known in every duy vernacular as “Andy,” though down in his own home locality, his “titlements do be Bru’er Anteny of de Baptist ’suasion ” Notwithstanding the divine light wiich is supposed to emanate from this consecrated soul, his counte- nance is as dark as midnight. His body, too, is usually bent slightly forward and in walking he has a habit of lngging one foot a little be hind the other thus giving him a “huffling, shamblinggait. Old Andy isa Chesterfield in politeness however, aud if you pass him a hundred times aday in the corridors, he never fails to raise his hand to his forehead and bow most humbly, beaming on you the while, a broad gracious smile Oue day he came into the aforesaid gentleman's office with a bundle of papers and as his employer took them he was asked: “Well, Andy, how are you getting along these days?” “Oh, L dunno, boss, mighty hard ” “L mean how are you getting along with the girls, Andy.” “Lor’, boss, Lean’t hab nothin’ to do wid de gals, I's a married man.” ‘Ludeed, and yet the fact of a maao’s being married does not always keep him from looking at the girls.” “Date so, Boss! Dats so, but yer see, U's a preacher,” “Yes, bat being a preacher does not always blind a man to the charms of beauty.” “1 know dat, Boss, shore do know dat. But yer see I's a Baptist preacher and dese mostly different from t’other preachers, But I tell you what, Boss, 1 was powerful’ tempted t’other day. I shore wuz de times is but I tell you what I'll do Br’er An- teuy, Pll gin yer a kiss fur dat dollar en erhulf.’ ‘Go long dare nigg-r,’ says 1, ‘whut yer talkin’ erbout? Don’t yer know V’sa preacher?’ En wid dat I shot my eyes tight. en gin fur ter_shake my head. But shesay: ‘What differ- ence dat make, Brer Anteny? Aint nobody gwine ter see us.’ ‘De Lord’l see us,’ says I, wid my eyes still shot tight. “Well,” she says, ‘that’s all I’se got fer ter gin yer, en ef yer doun take de kiss yer wont git nothin’ fer yer dol- lurenahalf. Kase lI aint got not no money fer ter pay yer wid, en whats more [ aint gwineteryit none.

Washington, Dec. 6.—Another vast flood of general and local bills swept into the house to-day, The most important was a bill by Hepburn, of Iowa, providing for the construction of the Nicarayua canal by the United States. Itis the same bill that was introduced last year and which fol- lows closely the provisions of the new treaty now before the senate, The next in moment was a bill by Kahn, of California, prohibiting the Chinese immigration. Brownlow, of Tennessee, pays a handsome tribute to MeKinley’s memory by the introduction of a bill tocreate the McKinley nacional park “How was that, Andy?” ; “Well yer see hit was jes dis way ey Boss. 1 was down street t’other day Hethel church where I'd jes been a loadin’ de meetin’ when dere come aloug de purtiest yaller gul!

Consists of a Digest of the Laws of the Several States Relating to Boards of Agriculture, Farmers’ Institutes, Ete, The industrial commission has pre- pared and wil, publish soon a digest of the laws of the several states relating to boards of agriculture, farmers’ in- stitutes, and so forth. Summarizing the practice in the selection of commissioners of agricul- ture, agricultural boards, and so forth, the commission says: “Organizations for the promotion of agriculture, maintained either in whole or in part by the state govern- ments, are found in nearly every state in the union. State boards of agricul- ture, the most common form of organ- ization for that purpose established by law and maintained at public expense, are found in about half the states. The other typical form is a department or bureau of agriculture, presided over by a singte officer, usuaily designated as commissioner of agriculture. In several cases, however, this office com- bines a number of functions, and his culture and immigration; the bureau of agricu:ture, labor and industry; the bureau of agriculture, statistics and mines, or the like. These commis- sioners are found chiefly in the south, but also in the main, Washington or North Dakota, while in Pennsylvania there is a department of the state gov- ernment presided over by a secretary of agriculture, Finally, in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa the place of a board of agriculture is filled to a great- er or less extent by the executive com- mittee or board of directors or man- agers of the State Agricultural so- ciety; and in Utah a simi.ar arrange- ment is in effect with the directors of the Deseret Agricultural and Manufac- turing society. “The principal modes of designating the members of state boards of agri- culture are election by state and local agricultural societies or their dele- gates, and appointment by the gov- ernor, usually subject to confirmation by the upper house of the legislature. nh some & ‘ o meé od re combined. “The members of the state boards of agriculture commonly serve without compensation other than the expenses incident upon attending the meetings and performing their official duties. The actual executive work is usually in charge of a saiaried secretary chosen by the board, in some instances fromits own number. The functions of this officer, therefore, correspond somewhat closely to those of the com- missioner of agriculture in states hav ing such officials. In some states there is both a state board of agriculture and a commissioner of agricu:ture who acts as its executive officer; while in Kentucky the commisioner of agri- culture, labor and statistics is assisted by an advisory board.” The commissioner is also preparing a digest of laws and court decisions relating to crain inspection, elevators and warehouses. NEW YORK TO PARIS BY RAIL. Loiceq de Nobel, French Engineer, Plans a Route by Way of Alaska Loicq-de Nobel, the French engineer who is the organizer of the project “from Paris to New York by rai:way,” is waiting impatiently for the United States congress to grant him a conces- sion in Alaska in order that he may go to Russia to demand simi.ar privileges of the ezar, which, a group of Russian financiers assure him, will be gladly given. “As soon as congress acts,” said M. Nobel the other morning to the Paris correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, “a Franco-American company, with a capita: of $200,000,000, will be formed to exploit the project, the practicability of which is now wideiy recognized, The request for a conces- sion was sent to Washington October 1, where I am assured it willsoon be discussed by congress. The next step will be to ask Emperor Nicholas to de- termine the point where the new line shall detach itself from the trans- Siberian railway. Having secured these concessions we shall go to work immediately, since there is no lack of money for the enterprise. Thus every- thing depends on the speedy action of congress.” M. Nobel's son, who is also a skilful engineer, is now in Alaska studying the project of making a tunnel under Behring strait.

Constable William Ogle, of War- rensburg, passed through Sedalia last Saturday en route to Rockville to arrest one Rev. Grayson Hughes, who is wanted at Warrensburg on the charge of fleecing some of the cit- izens of Johnson county. The Sed lia Sentinel says: - From all reports Mr. Hughes’ char- acter is far from that indicated by the prefix to his name. He was once—— a preacher, but he longsince discard- ed his robes to engage in a more lu- crative business. It is claimed that his game was to go about the coun- try posing as an insurance agent and taking good money for worthless policies. Mr. Ogle will take Hughes, who was arrested at Rockville, back to Warrensburg, where he will be charged with obtaining money under false pretenses —Clinton Democrat.
