Both Were Soldiers on Opposite Sides.
John M. Palmer, of Illinois and Si-
mon Bolivan Buckner of Kentucky, two
whitehaired veterans of the war, rival
commanders of the blue and gray, were
nominated yesterday by the Indian-
apolis National Democratic convention
for president and vice-president—on a
brief, but emphatic platform which
repudiates the doctrines annunciated
by the Chicago convention, endorses
President Cleveland and his adminis-
tration in glow1ng terms;-
the‘ gold standard, tariff for revenue
only, liberal shipping laws, currency
reform, civil service and economy in
public expenditures. The spirit that
.auimated the convention was contained
in the declaration of the platform.
“The Democratic party has survived
many defeats, but it could not survive a
victory won in behalf of the doctrine
and policy proclaimed in its name at
Chicago,” and so, in the language of
Mr. Hammond of Louisiana, “this con-
vention placed in the hands of other
nominees their banner and bade them
fling it forth sk vward and seaward high
and wide.”
HITT’S HANGING" STORY.
"The Lady Came to See the Fun, and Did
Not Want to Miss It.
lIlépresent‘ative IHitt tells a good
hanging story. It happen when his
father was sheriff of an I nois coun-
ty. There had been a murder, and
in due course of time the guilty man
.was to adorn the waiting scaffold.
Great pressure had been brought to
bear to induce the Governor 'to com-
mute the man’s sentence. That of-
ficial had made up his mind to exer-
cise executive clemency, but fore-see-
ing a splendidiopportunity to address
a large concourse of his constituents
in the interest of his re-election, he
concluded to go to the scene of the
hanging, make a' speech while the pre-
parations were going on, and at the
last moment stop the execution.
lAn enormous crowd of spectators
was gathered on the fateful day, and
while the poor wretch was being made
ready fer the drop the Governor
mounted a platform and began his
harangue. Some one, not knOwing
what Was in the Governor’s mind, be
gall to circulate a petition in the crowd
praying that the criminal be reprieved.
Many signed fit, and in passing it from
hand to hand it came to a gawky
_ country beau, who had been married
I that day- and had brought his wife to
the hanging to see the fun. He p011
dared deeply over the question
Whether to sign it or not, when the
bride decided his course by breaking in:
“Don’t sign that ’ar paper, Reuben.
We’ ve come all the way to see the
hangin,,
down we won’t see it.”—Washington

Fighting _in Cuba.
The Spanish general gazed intently
at a map of Cuba. Poising his pencil in
the air he whirled it gently in circles.
Then, closing his eyes, he began to re-
peat a Spanish translation of “Dick-
ery, 'dickery, dock.”
As the last words left his lips he
brought the pencil down, and, opening
his eyes, saw that the point rested on
the name, “Arroyo 1a Vieja.”
“That sounds all right,” he observed,
complacently.
Then, turning to his
~ said:
‘ “I have selected the name of our
latest victory. Telegraph that we de-
feated the insurgents yesterday in a
tremendous battle at Arroyo Ia Vieja.”
“Were they commanded by Gomez
or Maceo?”
“I don’t know,” said the general,
petulantly. “Whose turn 'is it to be de-
feated? Can’t 'you attend to the de-
tails rwithout bothering me? I have
enough to do to arrange the general
plan of campaign.” 0
A Wise Provision.
It is by a wise provision of nature
that certain animals drink by lapping
instead of sucking; they are the car-
nivorous animals, whose stomachs are
comparatively small, and, their diges-
tion being rapid, it is important that
the process should not be delayed by
the ingestion of large quantities of cold
water. By lapping, the mouth and
throat are thoroughly moistened,
while the water is supplied to the
stomach in small quantities and prop-
erly warmed. The herbivorous ani-
mals, on the other hand, which suck
while drinking, have large stomachs,
or more than one, with a paunch or
receptacle for unchewed food, and di-
gestion being with them a slow process
there is little danger of over-disten-
tion, although such :1 thing is not un-
mown with certain domestic animals.

CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN’S NERVE."
He Went to Copenhagen at 17 Soul.
.— His Fortune
Atatime when he could not be in
duced to spell or properly unde rstanc
his native language, he was yet filled
with ambition to become an author.
Such an ambition might seem strange
enough in the child of a cobble1 of
Odense, whom his mother never obliged
to attend school regulary, who spent
his childhood and youth rather in
dreaming along the lanes and among
the flowers than in any attempt to ac-
quire what would be called useful
knowledge. We might predict that
one so constituted was predestined to
every kind of hardship. Andersen suf-
fered many kinds.
When, at seventeen, he went up to
Copenhagen upon the wildest of wild
goose chases after fortune, the how of
making his way as ”an actor without
training, interest, or any special ca.-
pacity, it is no wonder that he came
now and than near starvation. That
he did not fare worse must be att11b
uted to the 'kindly and patriarchal char-
acter of the Danes of Copenhagen in his
day. He presented himself, a boy of
seventeen or eighteen,vwithout intro-
duction or excuse, at the houses of well
known men of letters, and instead of at
best packing him off home again and
recommending him to stick to the pa-
ternal last, they took him in hand,
made subscriptions for him, and set
him up with an allowance while he
should have time to learn singing or
acting. or earn something by his pen.
A CASE OF ELECTRICITY.
A Lover's Kiss Almost Leads to a. Lover's
Quarrel.
It was during the recent spell of cold-
weather.
He had been away. She was expect
ing him.
There was a sharp ring at the bell,
and a few minutes later, as he appeared
at the drawing- room door and paused to
locate her, she moved rapidly toward
him, her small slippers rubbing lightly
over the velvet carpet. He rushed to
meet her. Tenderly he bent his head to
touch her upturned lips, and then-
well, the air was full of tiny, snapping
blue stars, she gave a scared little
shriek, he let slip a cry of consternation
and blinked his eyes, while she stared
at him suspiciously and tearfully.
“You may think it a good joke to put
needles in your mustache,” she said
gaspingly. » ‘
“I don’ t see the beauty of concealing
pyrotechnics myself,” he rejoined soft-
ly. searching the atmosphere for more
blue stars.
And it took those two benighted per-
sons a whole half hour to discover that
their chagrin was caused by the simple
fact that the cold atmosphere tingled
with electricity, and they had hurriedly
rubbed the soles "of their footgear over
the cal pet, and instead Of t1 ying to light
the gas with their fingers, they had
kissed each other, with the inevitable
flash of light and sharp sting. Then
they held a' mutual forgiveness party,
but seated themselves carefully and .
cautiously on opposite sides of the room,
at a safe distance.
NO NEW WOMAN THERE.
Mrs. Stevenson Believes a Woman’s Great-
cst Charm is Her Femininity.
Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, the Vice-Presi-
dent’s wife, who was elected almost ,
unanimously President of the Daught-
ers of the Revolution at the recent Cc-n-
the new woman.
In her opinion a woman’s greatest
charm is her femininity, and when she
assumes masculine airs, occupations
and shirt fronts she becomes a thing of
horror. Thus, although her daughters
have been educated at Wellesley Col-
lege, they neither row nor ride. Mrs.
Stevenson would not have allowed them
to don bloomers and ride bicycles, even
had they been inclined to do so, and,
although they spend a good deal of
time in the carriage, they do not drive
themselves.
The elder daughter, Miss Julia. Stev-
enson, has dark hair and eyes and looks
very much like her mother, while the
younger daughter, who has taken her
first peep at social gayety this winter,
is an extremely pretty little blonds.
The New England Conscience. _
An instance of strict honesty under
trying circumstances is reported from
Connecticut. A police oflicer started
from Danbury for Bridgeport on a. rail-
way train the other day with a prisoner,
sentenced to serve thirty days in the
Bridgeport jail for drunkenness. The
prisoner promised that if the officer
would spare him the indignity of the
handcuffs he would go to jail peaceably.
At South Norwalk there was a change
of cars, and in the shuffle the officer be—
came separated from his prisoner. The
oflicer stai ted on a hunt all over the -
town for the supposed escaped prisoner. I
The latter, however, had taken the right
train and was on his way to B1 1dgeport
When the prisoner reached Bridgeport
he hung round the station an hour or
two waiting for the officer to catch up
with him and wondering what had be-
come of him, and then walked over to
the jail and surrendered himself, ex:
plaining the circumstances. It'is pos-
sible that his honesty will have the ef-
fect of shortening his sentence con-
siderably.

The Wonderful w _o—rk of Photography in
Reu-aling Them.
In the recent progress which has
been made in the study of the heavens
the photog1aphic plate has played a
most important pait. Indeed, the fa-
cilities which the lesources of photo
graphy have placed at the disposal 0.1
the astionomer are every day increas-
ing. The older methods Of observation
are in many cases giadually being dis-
placed by the m01e accuiate and far
inore ,comprehensive methods which
the camera offers. It has been as-
serted that the advance in the astron-
omer’s art which is due to the introduc-
tion of the photographic plate into the
observatory, is not less far reaching
in its effects than the advance which
was inaugurated when Galileo first
turned his newly made telescope to the
sky and thus wonderfully augmented
t‘he space-penetrating power of human
VlSlOD.
Recent researches made by Dr. Gill
and Dr. Elkins at the Cape of Good
Hope have demonstrated what the dis-
tance of Sirius amounts to. It has been
shown that the rays from Sirius, trav-
eling as they do with the stupendous
speed of light, namely, at the rate of
180,000 miles each second, would nev-
ertheless require not less than nin.
years to traverse the distance between
that star and our system. In other
words. When we are looking at Sirius
to-night we do nOt see that star as it
is at present, but we see it as it was
nine years ago. The light which reach-
es our eye to-night must, in fact, have
left the star nine years before. There
is good reason for the belief th t there
are stars which are still visible’in our
great telescopes, notwithstanding that
they are 1,000 times further from us
than the brilliant Sirius. It follows by
a line of reasoning, which it seems im-
possible to question, that the light of
such a star must have occupied a
period of not less than 9,000 years In
its journey to the earth. The conse-
quences of such a calculation are in-
deed momentous. It is plain that"we
do not see such stars as they are to~_
night, but as they were when our earth
was 9,000 years younger. Tne‘ light
from such stars which is now entering
our eyes at the close of this unparalJ
leled journey has occupied all that long
interval between the solar system and
the awful stellar depths. This-vast:
"time has been required for the journey,
notwithstanding the fact that the.
light speeds on its way with a velocity:
which would carry it seven times
around the world in a second. Indeed,-
the steps might have totally ceased to
exist for the past 9,000 years and we
should still find them shining in their
places. Not until all the light which
was on its way to earth at the time of
the star’s extinction had entered our
eyes would the tidings of that extine
tion have become known to us. We
are looking at such stars as they cx‘
isted long before the‘earliest period to
which any records of human history
Millet’s Boyhood.
Jean Francois Millet, the great art
ist, was born in the hamlet of Gr-u
chy, a mere handful of houses which
[lie in a valley descending to the sea,
not far. from Cherbourg, France. In
Writing of his parentage and early
influences in McClure’s Magazine,
Will H. Low says that every inch of
gthe ground up to the cliffs above the
‘sea, in Millet’s country, represented
the struggle of man with nature, and
each parcel of land, every stone in
thewalls which kept the earth from
being engulfed in the floods beneath,
bore marks of his handiwork.
Millet was reared by his grand-
mother, such being the custom of the
country, the younger w'Omen being oc-
cupied in the service of mastering
earth, and the elders, no longer able
to go afield, bringing up the children
born to their children, who in turn
replaced theii parents in the never-
ending struggle.
This g1andmother, Louise Jumelin,
widow of Nicolas Millet, was a wo-
man of great force of character and
extremely devout. The most ordinary
occupation of the day was made the
subject not of utteied prayer for that
would have entailed suspension of her
ceaseless activity, but of spiritual ex-
ample tersely expressed, which fell
upon the fruitful soil of Millet’s young
imagination, and left such a lastin‘
impression that to the end of his life
his natural expression was almost
Biblical in character of language.

DICKENS’S DAUGHTER.
Her Knowledge ofFlowerq Is a Passion
She Fully Gratlfles.
Miss Mamie Dickens, the oldest
daughter of the novelist, makes her
home at quaint old Dunton rectory,in
Brentwaod, Essex, England. The love
of flowers, which with her amounts to a
passion, is fully gratified in this beauti-
ful country.
Her real life work consists in minis
tering to the poor and sick. She was
born in Furnval’s Inn, in March, 1838,
when Charles Dickens was about 28
years of age, and father and child grew
up almost, as it were, together. It is
not to be won-cred that she is like him
in thought, taste, sentiment and even
looks.
