the coming Legislature, the time for

A Disgusting Spectacle.
Depravity is bad enouzh in a man,
but when it is displayed to a marked
degree in a woman the: spectacle is al-
most sickening, There was an unknown
white woman at the depot Monday
night who showed such a want of de-
cency in her speech ad manner as to
render herselt simply disgusting. She
wore a shabby black dress and antiqua-
ted straw bat, had a grip and market
basket along with ler, and said she hail
ed from Massachusetts. Things about
the depot and waiting room did not
seem entirely to her notion and she
indulged freely in vilest oaths in de-
nounciag everything in general and
Southern customs in particular. Many
who heard her were charitable enough
to think she was fuil ot whiskey, but to
all appearances it was a case of human
depravity at its lowest ebb.

~What the Fieures Show.
~The New Orleans Times-Vemo
crat, which makes a specialty cf
collecting and analyzing statistics
of timely interest, has turned its
attention to the official figures of
the last election. It will be Jan-
gary before the official votes ip
all the State are proclaimed, buT
The Times semoerat has secured
the official totals, and p-esents
them in this shape:
McKinly 7,044,884
Bryan 6,452.218
Palmer 116,698
Levering 104,427
Bentley 10,678
Matchett 9,942
Total vote 13,732,404
McKinleyTs plurality 592,666
These figures make certain sey-
eral things of more than passing
interest. For instance:
2. That there was no popular
landslide in behalf of McKinley.
2. That the plurality of the Re
publican candidate was not the
predicted,nor the 800,000
figured out by the eastern pres-,
but only 592,666.
3. It is not the largest plurali-|'
ty ever received by a candidate
for the presidency, being below
GrantTs in 1872, but little over
his in 1868, aud but [ittle over
LincolnTs in 1860, and BuchananTs
in 1856,
4. That the tanular nistement
invented by the New York World
and made the basis of ali news-
paper estimates is an arrant fake
5. That the Democratic party,
represented by those who voted
- for its presidential candidate, was
defeated by a very narrow mar-
gin, und
6. That the party is _ stronger
and in better fighting trim today
than it ever has been after a de-
feat.
Our readers may sum these
things up to suit themselves,
They are simply the irresistible
@onelusion to be drawn from the
figures comp'led by The New Or
leans Times-Vemocrat, which will

dy, promulgated to the extent of

According to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, President-elect
McKinley will probably haye two
of the bandsomest horses ever
seen in Washington. ~The late
General Joseph T. Torrence, of
Chicago, possessed as fine a sta
ble of horses a8 was owned ip
the Windy City. It was the Gen
eralTs intention before his death
that two magnificest brown
horses, the best watched pair ia
his stables, should be presented
to Mr. McKinley to ride behind
to thé Capitol on inauguration
day, mm the event of his election.
The General left no written will
to this effect; but it 18 said that
his daughter, Mrs, Magoun, who
has come into possevsion of che
estate, will probably carry out
her fatherTs wish and present the
horses to the President-elect,
wnd that thev will take their
place in the White House stables
on the 4th of March. .

| A BARN THAT GREW,
It Was Still Enlarging When the Smart
' Man Disappeared.
. oSay, stranger, how high mought
that building be?�T asked a countri-
fied looking individual as he stood
up at the towering structure there.
The man of whom he asked the
question evidently thought he would
have some fun with the farmer. He
looked at the latter a moment and
then said: ~~Oh, that little house
there. Oh, thatTs about 300 feet
high. But thatTs nothing to several
buildings that are going to be put
up farther up the street.�T
~Shu, you donTt say so!TT exclaim-
ed the farmer. ~~How high mought
~some of. them buildings going to
be?T "
oSix to eight hundred feet, not
counting the towers,� replied the
smart man.
oShu, you donTt say so!� ejaculat-
ed the farmer,
oBut, say, stranger, howTs the
people to get up to the top of them ?�T
~~Oh, thatTs easy enough,�T said
the smart man, thinking of the fun
he was having. ~~TheyTre going to
have pneumatic tubes in them. You
get into a box, and they shoot you
up to the roof in two seconds.�T
oShu, you donTt say ~so!TT once
more remarked the farmer. ~~Your
houses donTt cover much ground,
stranger, do they? Now, out in my
part of the country we go in for
more land than high buildings.. My
brother started in to build a barn
once, and that barn covered about
as much land as all the buildings in
your town put together.�T
oOh, say, old fellow,� replied the
funny person, ~~youTre talking
through your hat. No man could
build as big a barn as that.�T
~~ThatTs allright,T said the farmer,
ordinary barn, bTgosh. It wasnTt so
big at the start, but, you see, it took
a-growing, and before it stopped it
covered his whole farm"a whole
section, sir, about one square mile.�
oIt took a-growing, did it?T re-
marked the puzzled person who hac
been having the fun. ~~Say, mister,
what are you driving at anyhow?
Who ever heard of a barn growing ?�T
~Well, thereTs not many people,
I'll admit, stranger,TT proceeded the
farmer. ~~It was the first time that
[ever heard of one; but, as I said
before, my brotherTs barn wasnTt
no ordinary barn. You see, he built
it of green hemlock, and as he was
in a hurry to get it built before har-
vest, he couldnTt wait for the wood
to dry out. Now, that wood was full
of sap when my brother slapped
| that barn up, and when the weather
began to get warm the sap began
to run, and that set the wood to
growing. Well, sir, you never saw
anything grow like it beforein your
life. Talk about your big houses in
this town! Why, they canTt compare
with the way my brotherTs barn
growed. He would go to bed at
night thinking he had located the
door of his barn all right, but when
he\got up in the morning he would
have to walk a quarter of a mile
farther to get into the barn to feed
the horses. It got to be monoto-
nous, sir, but he stood it all right
until the barn began to run off his
farm and go over Bill JohnsonTs
wheatfield. You see, Bill get great
store on that wheatfield. He hada
big mortgage on his farm, and he in-
tended to sell the wheat and pay
offT?
But the farmer stopped and found
that he had been talking to himself.
The man to whom he ~had been tell-
ing the story was a block away, and
to post for his wife or an extremely
~mnortant ¢ &ngagement to keep. oe

Britain's Great Dikes Caused by The
Eruptions In Earjy Times.
Sir Archibald Geikie, F. R. §., in
a lecture before the Glasgow Geo-
fissures. They had them in Antrim,
Mul, Run, Canna, Sanday and
Syke. The inner Hebrides were
trierely fragments of what may have
been originally a vulcanic plateau
extending Irom Antrim in. the south
to the norihof Syke. The succes-
sive overiows of bus.tt could be
OLD ENGLISH VOLCANOES.
From the: teginming or tte story
seemed to have been the funda
mental fact. There was great diffi-
culty in iixing the age, but within
the lest few months, in the course
of their work in the geological sur-
vey, they hed come across evidence
their way among the dikes of the
whole western highlands... The vol-
canoes, however, belonged to a very
recent period"to a time actually
younger than the soft clay on which
London is built. Thatclay was there
before the voleanoes began to blaze
forth. In closing Sir Archibald re-
ferred to the subject of denudation
of waste, which he described as one
of the most fascinating departments
of geology and one which gave val-
uable aid in enabling them to deter-
mine the age of different strata, and
there was, he said, no place where
the geologist could study that sub-
ject with more profit to himself and
benefit to science than along the
north shores of Faroe islands, where
there were the finest sea cliffs in
Europe, some of them 2,000 feet in
height."Edinburgh Scotsman.
PattiTs Treasured Album.
Baroness. von Zedlitz, who was a
guest of Mme. Adelina Patti at Craig-
y-Nos some time ago, has published
¢ a German review an, account of
1er sojourn at the singer's castle.
Among other things, she writes con-
cerning en album containing the
autographs, over Words of admira-
tion, of many musical celebrities of
the last halt céntury. Among thé
singers are Mayio, Tamberlik, Nie-
mann and Capoul, who express their
adimiration for the great soprano in
eraceiul, flattering verses. ~There
~arealso pleasant phrases from Ghisi,
\ Albani and Christine Nilssop. Bars
of music, accompanied by words,
have been written in the album by
the composers Rossini, Meyerbeer,
Auber, Gounod and Bizet. Verdi
has written the names of the three
prima donnas who, to his mind, have
best interpreted ~~La Traviata.TT The
maestro signs his name to the follow-
ing, ~~D'abord Adelina, ensuite Ade-
[lina et encore Adelina.� Finally,

in microscopic characters, the penT
of Hector Evrliog once translated
