Mr. James Wilcox, ex-city engin- cer, Was personally acquainted with seven of the officers killed in the bat- tleof Santiago, Two of them were in the same class at West Point, and graduated at the same time he did, ttt The postotfice authorities are hav- ing a great deat uf trouble on account of people placing revenue stamps on letters to have them carried in the mails. There is a vast difference between revenue and postage stamps, and because one pays the same price to the government for revenue stamps that he does for postage stamps, is nosiga Uncle Sam is going to accept one for the other, A great many are daily received at the post- {/oltice bere with revenue stamps on (hem and the letters of course have to the sender or else 1 letter cilice, "4 No explanation is offered for it, fact that the Kentucky to he returned sent to the de but it isa boys ut Chickamauga are the best drilled there, without exception. This is admitted by everyone, even the officers and members of other com- panies there. The Paducah people who went down on the Fourth of July excursion heard compliments of the Kentucky beys oa all sides, and near- ly everybody readily admitted it, al- though, as said before, no explana- tion was offered for it. ¥ 96 re are a great many bluffers in Mayfield. The Fulton Leader says | that a man was there day before yes- terday inviting the people to go over and attend the lynching bee. The Leader says of him: ‘Jim Highland, of Mayfield, was in town yesterday inviting the boys to come up and help lynch Bob) Blanks to- night, Jiur says that they propose to show the world that a negro can be lyached in Mayfleld, soldiers or no soldiers. If he can succes in utilizi the ‘load’ he had on board ly, be need have discharge it accurate- no fear of soldiers, for he had ammunition sufficiently powerful to annihilate a regiment. | But he bas divalged that the soldiers e all right and have intimated that they will not shoot anyone, so he has high hopes of seeing Blanks dangling from a rope’s end when old Sol shows his visage to the early riser tomorrow, » who go should take the mid- it train, and they will be met on ir arrival by Mr. Highland who 8 he responsible party and owns * acres of land right at Mayfield. It is doubtless a class of bluffers that is making all the talk heard, and when called upon to look down the interior of a Springileld nile, they will experience a sudden change of heart, and won't be balf as anx+ ious to lynch Bob Blanks as before. ie oe The report that Mr. Carleton Hod formerly of the Sun's typ: graphical force, was killed in the bat- tle of Santiago, is likely untrue, as his name was not in the list of killed or wounded, and there is no reason why it should not have been if he was among those who lost their lives. He left witi the regulars, having joined somewhere in the south, and recently wrote to friends here trom Tampa. How the rumor started is unknown. + oh it Supt. Harahan requires all con- ductors to have their porters see that passengers are placed on the right trains. For some reason a great deal of trouble has been had about this re- cently, people being carried far out of their way by the conductors before the mistake was discovered. An or- der has been posted at headquarters, requiring all passengers to be asked as they enter a train where they are going, and to see their ckets, if nec- A great many people get mad if they are asked to show their tickets, while it is no reflection on them at all, and is done principally to see that they are boarding the right train.

LACON WATSON, “{ have made up my mind to tako| 9 the plunge,” said March. “It isa big thing, no doubt, but honestly J think it is my only chance.” Thomas Gillespie March was clerk in a London bank—a small private bank—and he had held that onerous, position for the last.15 years, His salary, advancing by easy stages, had now arrived at no less a sum than £150 per annum—an amount that might be considered princely remuneration for the work required of him. March did not regard it in that light. Three years ago ‘he had contrived to get en+ gaged, and, of course, the girl was penniless. Certainly there seemed to be nothing fox it but heroic meas: ur ‘The worst of it was, my friend had a sanguine temperame nt; he woulddo nothing by halves; and when he spoke of taking the plunge, I fore saw that he meant no confpromise, but a thorough immersion, which might very likely demand all the e& forts of the Humane society for the rescue of the experimentalist. There- fore I counseled caution. March shook his head. “It is sink or swim with me now,” he said again. “At the end of the year I leave old Fletcher & Harrison and start working in earnest. I would sooner be anything—a crossing sweep- er, if you like—than stay on there an Jonger. I am burning my ships. The infatuated man laughed light heartedly. It was evident enough that he enjoyed the novelty of the situation, at present. “Well,” I said at last, “it is a good thing you have enough to keep you from starving, while you are trying your hand at the new trade.” He laughed derisively “You do not seem to comprehend that this is a big thing,” he went on, “Look here, old man”—in a more se- rious tone—“I cannot keep that poor little f mine waiting any longer. Unless [ can secure a decent income in a year or two, at the furthest, I don’t care much what becomes of me, When I gamble at all I like to do it I have sold out all my pt enough to keep me , with economy, and arse, but with any luck it will 50 per cent. some day.” You utter fool,” was all I could trust myself to say “We shall see,” he replied, com: posedly, as he lit one of my cigars withaspill. “Ina year’s time, inde- pendently of what I can make by journalism, I expect my two thou- sand (which is plaguey little use to me at three per cent.) will be worth twenty. Then I shall sell.” “Qh! you will sell then, will you?” T was rather exasperated at the man’s ( “And you expect to make by journalism, poor innocent. nd a year in that, T suppose. W ell—I only ho; ye you may.” I re- garded him with mingled feclings of contempt and en contempt for , envy of hiseanguine tem- nt After all, it is a great to be born a persistent op- “] know you fellows who write think no one can make anything at t but 3 March spoke with a tolerant smile at my infirmi- ties. “I mean to show you that busi- ness habits are bound to pay even in your profession.” “Tam afraid yon will not have many receipts to enter in your ledgers,” I retorted. Poor March! . I do not think he had one single qualification for journalism, unless it were this un- bounded self-confidence of his, 1 felt unfeignedly sorry for him, but it was his own affair, and it was too late to accomplish anything by interfer4 ence in any case, You don’t know me yet,” were his words as he left my room that night: I confess that the cheery ring of his voice left me in some doubt whether I might not be mistaken. Of course, gamblers do succeed sqnetimes. 1 saw nothing more of March for some time afterward. Zarly in February I came across him walking vigorously along Hol- born. He was shabby, but buoyant T stood him a lunch that day, partly beeause he had rather a hungty look, and partly because I withed to find out how things were going with him. He expatiated largely on his econom- feal habits. He had found a bed sitting-room at five shillings a week, and was working hard. The shares were going up slowly but steadily; however, there was no hurry about them. ‘o! He had not made much out of journalism yet, but he had always expected to find it a bit of a struggle at ti He tried hard to speak with the o!d hopeful tone, but i could see it was an effort, and his eyes wore a haggard look, — I urged him to sell out his shares while they were up—they were some /Soutlr African mine or other, and I never had any faith in mining shares—but firm as a rock, “Twenty thousand those shares,” he “not a far- thing. less. I was glad afterward to know that I had given him a re- spectable meal, for I believe the poor eg arly starving then. March was never the man to acknowl- edge defeat if he could puta good face on it. A few days later Lleft London for some weeks, during which certain events occurred of.80 momentous a character (from my own point of view) as to make me forget for the time all about my friend’s affairs. It was not until June that we met once more, I happened to bé walking along me Strand in the afternoon— in fact, aking a young lady te my figure for Ohio River Points, Benton and N.,& St, L.

A inan'was walking along the gutter, dressed in the flowing robes of an Arab sheikh, aM attracting no small amount of ention from the crowd. He was distributing «mali handbills to the passers-by, and he handed one to me. As he did so our eyes met, and I saw that he was March. He turned away quickly when he saw that I ree- ognized him. I could not sto} Edith -being with me—but ahi a8 got to the theater I told her his story, and the dear girl insisted on my goin, out between the acts to try and find him. It took mea long time, but at Jast I ran him to earth in alittle by- street near Charing Cross. I pressed a eovereign on him—L was not a rich man, or I would gladly have made it five—but he would have nothing of it. The man was as proud. as ever. In my own happiness it struck me with a keener pang to find him in such a miserable condition, but he did not seem to mind it much, It was honest work, at any rate, and he saw no need for false shame. He said, with quite the old humorous air, that he had been offered a place on the staff of a leading newspaper, and was only doing this to keep himself going until he could take up the ap- pointment. “My dear fellow,” I remonstrated, “surely it would be worth while to realize on a few of those shares, just to tide you over for the present.” 1 did not know that they were practi- cally unsalable at that time, nor did he tell me that. He contrived @ laugh, as he reiterated his old deter- mination to hold on at all costs. I slipped the sovereign into his hand when he was not looking and ran off. “It’s a debt, then,” he called after me. And I fully believe he meant ft. That man was as proud as Lu- cifer. A year passed away, Ihadtakena ouse in Surrey, and rarely came up to London now except on business, Tt so happened that one day I had oc- casion to call on a firmin the city, and on my way there passed by the office of March’s old employers. The name brought his story back to my memory, and I wondered what had become of him. Poor fellow! the world liad been too strong for him; he should have taken my advice and etuck t clerkship. Iwas think- ing of lim still as I walked back to Cannon street Somehow I could not help feeling that I was to blame in the matter. I should not have al- lowed him to drop so completely out of my sight. _ We had been at school together, and I had known himall my life. Half way down Walbrook there was a bl Crowds always attract me, and J pushed forward to see what was the matter. A newspaper seller, it seemed, had fallen down in a-fit or dead.

But I was unduly de- pressed all that evening. I resolved to look in at the hospital next morn- ing. They would have taken him to St. Philip’s, and the house surgeon there was quaintance of mine. Itwasabo when I arrived there, and found wy way into Miller’s room. In a quarter of an hour or so he putin an appearance, overwhelmed with work, as usual, told him my errand, and his bright eyes brightened as at a As it passed by glimpse of the humorous recollection. “Oh! I remember that chap,” he aid. “Noth much the matter. inted for want of food, I fane Curious thing was, be made out that he had just come into a fortune— thirty thousand, I think, he said. A bit touched in the head, I expect.” “Where is he? What was name?” I asked, eagerly. “Sent him out last night—he was well enough, after be’d had ome brandy and a hunkof bread. Some name like Clark, or Stark, or some- thing—a monosyllable of eorts.” “Was it March? Because if so—” “March it was. How do youknow anything about it?” And it was March after all, Isaw his wedding announced in the paper this morning. It was the shock of reading (in the copy of the paper he was selling) that the director of hi mine had received a cable announc- ing the discovery of a new and valu- able gold-bearing reef on their prop- erty that caused his sudden collapse. For once the cable did not lie, and March realized a little more than his long-looked-for twenty thousand. The gamble had turned out a success, but even now the gambler does not like to talk mueh about that year’s exist- ence... But he paid me back my sov- ereign, with interest at five percent.

THE STATE NORMAL ‘Without a President—Prof. Jack- son Becomes President of Lit- coin Institute, at Jefferson City Missouri. Prof. John H. Jackson, the uotir- ing zeal of whom caused the erection of the State Normal school for colored persons at Frankfort, its first and only president and who has done so much for the cause of education in this state, has resigned the presidency of institution and accepted the presidency of Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., which institu- tion was presided over for many years by Prof. Inman E. Page. We have it from pretty good au- thority that Prof. Charles F. Sneed, who several years ago Was dean of the college department of the State University at Louisville, has shied his castor into the ring for the presiden- ey of the State Normal. Of course there are other applicants and strong ones, but it is impossible to guess with any degree of accuracy, who will be its future president. In this leave taking of Prof. Jack- son from the vities of our state's educational we lose a scholar li and an able Christian gentleman, MWKINLEY POINTS A LESSON TO THE COLORED RACE A writer in the Ladies’ Home Jour- pal for July says in an article on the anecdotal side of President McKin- ley’s life: When President McKinley appoint- ed the late ex Senator Bruce to the position of register of the treasury, considerable surprise was felt that he phould select a colored man to fill so important a position, One day a friend asked him what were his rea- sons for appointing Bruce “Lhave two,” replied the presi- dent. **Tbe first is the man’s fitness tor the position. The second is that Bruce's name will appear on every bavk bil ihat will be issued by the government while he is incilice, and every colored man who gels one of the notes cau read on it the name of a wan of bis own race, avd see in it the lesson Mast with economy, indus- try, honesty aud ambition, this gov- ernment will recognize Lim the same as it does men of a lighter color of skio.”” A battle royal is expected next Monday afteravon at the base ball park, when the Cairoites will once more cross bats with the Paducahs, Whenever you have reason to be- lieve that something is going to be published that you will not like, never go to the editor on a bluff.
