So good a man was Indian Agent N. C. Meeker 
esteemed by the people of Colorado that all through 
the State they spoke of him as •• Father Meeker;” 
and yet his goodness didn’t save him from the 
murderous hands of the Utes. 
‘ In the court at Mount Vernon, 111 ., a few days

Prof. Suing, the noted Chicago preacher, hopes

rage for property which created frequent mort¬ 
gages. “ They are,” he says, “ a pestilence under 
which estates die, aud churches sicken and have to 
be sat up with at night,” 
The Princess of Wales, altho’ sho left Denmark 
nearly twenty years ago, is still as great a ravorite

Copenhageners used to call her by the pet name 
“Oieatenen “ The apple or our eye." 
General Passenger Agent Farmer, of the Penn¬ 
sylvania Railroad Company, after a four month’s

but had not met her since her marriage, many 
years ago.

murderer the other day, at Gainesville, Texas. He 
desired to convince the jury that the man whom 
Uls client killed, although la his shirt sleeves and 
without, a pistol pocket lu his trousers, might still 
have been armed. The lawyer had prepared him¬ 
self to Illustrate hts argument. Taking off his 
coat aud standing before the jurors, ho said, “Can 
you see any sign of arms about, me?" ’['hey shook 
their heads. Then lie drew a pistol from under 
each arm, one from each boot leg, and a long knife 
from the back of Ids neck. 
The cook of Emperor William Is a fickle Parisian, 
with whom Ids Majesty has had several quarrels 
since the Franco-German war, owing to the cook’s 
irrepressible patriotism. Several times he has been 
discharged, and each time taken back into favor, 
owing to the imperial love of the French cuisine. 
After the last scrimmage tho chief offered to re¬ 
turn on the following conditions only: “Majesty, 
If 1 am not allowed my liberty In tho kitchen, I 
shall leave your service and for the last time, be¬ 
cause neither my health nor my peace can stand

grown rich.
