None but he could .have held the audience on Monday after such a long program, when the people were all making ready to depart for their homes. We hope his smiling face mav ever be a part of Maysville Chautauqua.” • The “Republican Pilot” drops this little one in passing: “And Col. Ham —when Ham rises to his feet a DeKalb county andience knows what’s coming. Ham is the prime favorite .with the Maysville Chautauqua folks, and may he long remain so.” / After two pages giving a detailed ac count of each day’s exercises, the Maysville, Mo., Herald gives the fol lowing account of the last day: Monday the usual morning exercises of the day were held, at the conclusion /<# .which Col. HAm gave his lec ture, “Old Times in Dixie.” This was a fitting finale to the Chau tauqua. He depicted the scenes and incidents of plantation life in a manner to make . the .picture almost i4alUnd recalled to many a mind happy incidents gone never to again return. He declared the old colored mammy of tips South was the queen of the planta tion; the overseer bossed the negroes, the owner of the plantation bossed the overseer, his wife bossed him and the mammy bossed the wife. The colored mammy was a personage of great im portance. She knew everything per taining to ike plantation, was consult ed on every occasion, and from whose edicts there was no appeal. He related many touching incidents, sang planta tion songs in a manner to delight his audience and- to reveal him asa vocalist Who might rival those of much more pretentions. But it is no use to extend this reference to him or his lecture here. Suffice it to say, everybody re- spects fand loves Col. Hath, not only for hfa'ability as a platform speaker, but for His • genial, honest, manly worth and the high character of the man himself. - After the lecture of Mr. Ham Pryor’s band gave its last music on the pfotforud, the quartette sang their fare well song. Prof. Jelly led the singing of that beautiful hymn, “God be with you ’tii we meet again.” Rev. Vielton of Amity* closed with the benediction. The audience then left the tent and forming; in double file, preceded by Pryor’s band, marched once aroniid' the large 'teat, and the Maysville Chau tauqua *foaMa$»u'ei|S, apieasanti; recol lection only. . throughout was exedfteut, the arrang- mentsof the grounds for the care and comfort of the people could not have been better. The police regulations, aided by the gentlemanly and- orderly deportment of the visitors was such that daring the entire ten days there was not a ripple of disturbance or bad bebaviqr on the part of any one. For all these things the members of the society deserve and will receive the commendation and the thanks of every one. The program and platform man agement nrider the direction of Col. Ham was all. that, could be. asked by the mloBt iift^ifly xaclined, and each member of the engaged talent filled Ms place without a hitch. So nothing more need be added than to say that the Maysville Chautauqua was a success in every particular, even beyond the yon" may have spent more money and expended moor© strength.

V. Saved fax »n Unspoken Serxnoo Hpwaseiibondid gobd though it yv» <aot preached ia told by the Baltimore Herald. The sermon was written by the Rev. D. B. Greigg, and the subject of it—the “Unemployed Masses”—was announced in the usual course in the Saturday papers. One of the papers sent a reporter to Mr. Greigg’s house and se cured a copy—or perhaps an abstract— of the sermon and put it in type for the Monday issue. At that time evangelistic services were being conducted. thrcughoiit thif city, and the committee in charge oi them sent several speakers to address Mr. Greigg’s Sunday evening congrega tion. He at once gave way to the evan gelists, and the sermon he had prepared was net preached, bnt was laid aside for another occasion. The next morning, however, the daily papers contained a long report of the sermon which was ■ sis yet undelivered. 1 On that particular Monday morning there was in Baltimore a homeless and penniless young Scotchman. Every hour his prospects had seemed to grow darker, and finally desperation crushed out what little hope bad been left in his heart He determined on suicide. With his last- few pennies he pur chased poison enough to end all and was leaving the drug store when his eyes feU oi) a newspaper. Probably the glance would have been but a passing one if he had not noticed the headline, “To the Unemployed Masses. ” This phrase struck a responsive chord, and h« read the abstract of Mr. Greigg’s dis course. Then ,it occurred to him that a min* ister who preached such a sermon might be interested in his case. The better mau in him rose, and he made up his : oiind to search out the preacher if only as a last resort. Securing Mr. Greigg’s address, he went to thehouse and Was received with a heartiness that changed desperation into hope. The preacher himself was a Scotchman and listened with interest to the discouraged man’s story. What was more, he promised help. He communi cated with the Scotch societies of the city, and many hands were extended to the young stranger in distress. He was given temporary aid and finally a posi tion, which he is now worthily filling. '"'And. this was the result of a sermon never preached. ~,7i' ' * jV.tin.flft:- * MYRA AUGUR CHISHOLM. is not a composer ‘ ‘to the manner bora. ” Her tunes and melodies/are hummed and then played on the piano and changed until they suit her-fancy.

Owen in hunting wild animals are adopted generally. The other day Mr. Owen and Oliver Peaker were in the Jicarilla mountains, having several hunting dogs with them, but no guns. Besides cap- toiing two wil^ats and one fox,, their hounds got on the fresh trail of a hnge mountaiii lion, which had just gorged itself with the fresh veal from a calf it bad killed. The lien had taken refuge from its pnrsuers in a tree when Messrs. Owen and Peaker came np and drove it off its perbh frith clnbs. This was re peated until i% reached its third resort Here Mr. Owen, being an expert cow man, and realizing that a few dogs and two unarmed men could not -hope to capture an animal of this character by | means of noise and only clubs and stones for weapons, concluded to adopt the l rope which he knew so well how to use. Taking his lariat in his hand, he climbed the tree to within ahont six feet of the : lion, and, making the throw with care and precision; the animal was caught around thfifieek just as he was ready to spring at hik ciiptor. Mr. Owen dropped to the ground, the lion springing at the same time. When only two or three feet 'from the ground, the animal reached the extent of the rope, which remained 1 over the limb,-with the other end fas tened below, and was strangled to death. This lion was dri# of the largest ever captured in this region, measuring 9 feet 4 inches from tip to tip and weigh ing about 800 pounds. Mr. Owen says that he did not realize that he was in any danger until he had skinned the lion and mounted his horse to ride to camp, when his nerves relaxed and he became frightened.—White .Oak* {N M. j J^ara.
