The EVansville Courier thus meets Senator Voorhees' defense, published a few days, ago:

Ur. Voorhees seems highly gratified at th« appointments that he has succeeded in haying made in Indians.

He ought to know, with his experience in politics, that unsuccessful office-seekets are not prond of Such a distinction. This is especially trn*of those whose names do not appear in any department as applicants for office. Mr. Voorhees'efforts in behalf of this class reflect no especial credit apon anybody.

HUMMER'S STORY.

How He Sent' the Express Company's Detective on a Wild Goose Chase. When Hummer, the horse thief, was first arrested he made what purported to be a confession of guilty knowledge of the train trobbery at Harrodsburg, on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago road, in which affair the express messener and baggage man wfere badly^ injured. le said cousin of his committed the robbery. He gave the most minute details not only of the robbery itself but of all surrounding facts. He knew every farm in the neighborhood of Harrodsburg and told the officers that the money secured from the American Express Cos safe, $l,500^te8 in a tin can in secret cave near Harrodsburg. He Ideated the cave, and the American Express company's detective, who had been summoned here, went in search of the money. The cave was found, but no tin can. The cave is said to be a half mile long. The detective returned here yesterday and went to see Hummer. The latter admitted that he had lied that he was bom and raised near Harrodsburg, and thus was acquainted with the country that he told ihe story thinking it would hasten his trial here before Judge Mack returned from Hot Springs, which, he said, was a very desirable thing to do, because Judge Mack would likely give him a W more years

said he lied in the original story. The Hon. Geo. W. Friedley, the attorney of the road, was here yesterday, however, and had a talk with Hummer. Mr. Friedley returned to Bloomington yesterday afternoon believing Hummer knows nothing about the robbery more than could be gained by reading the newspaper reports.

Collapse of a Flying Machine. Cairo, 111., August 21.—Professor Hayes' flying machine came to grief yesterday at Padusah. Fearing the second time to trust his body upon the affair without knowing how high it would probably soar, the inventor attached it by a strong line to the stern of the steamer Winnie, and against a strong head-wind the boat set- sail. The apparatus raised its head and darted toward the blue vault of heaven. Not finding a secure resting •lace in that neighborhood, it darted lownwaid like a flash. The skeleton frame snapped like pipe_ stems, the canvas whipped asunder spitefully, and the work of two years disappeared beneath

THE BlBE SJtTUt SLIPPEBf

There was a church fair and festival on hand at Waynesville, and all the young ladies here in a state of feminine flutter.

Pretty brown-eyed Jenny Cajaon had one of the fancy tables. She also had a new drees for the occasion. The softshining folds" of dark-blue silk were draped over the bed, and Jenny was kneeling upon the floor, arranging the loops of satin ribbon to her taiste, .when

Bell Doney, who was Jenny's most intimate friend, burst into the room. "Oh, what a pretty dress, Jenny! You'll look ravishing in it. Yon only need a pair of blue satin boots to match it and you'll be the best-dressed girl at the festival." "But satin boots are very expensive, said Jenny, hesitatingly. "Oh, well, yes, somewhat. But there's nothing sets off ai lady's .appearance like nice shoes and gloves. I heard Dr. Chester say he never considered a lady well dressed if she wore ill-fitting boots or gloves." And Miss Bell complacently crossed her own pretty French kids, while Jenny nerveusly put away the pretty silk.

What Dr. Chester said was beginning to be a matter of some moment to Jenny Carson. She was conscious of a longing for the blue boots but, alas! they were too expensive for her.

Miss Bell presently took her leave, and Jenny, with naif her pleasure spoiled, went on with her preparations. "Well, daughter," said her father at the dinner-table, "ao you need any fallals for your frolic to morrow "Yes, I do need some new shoes and gloves," said Jenny. "You do, eh Well, what must I give you to buy them with?', "Whatever you can spate, papa." "Well, here's a $10 bill. I guess that will be enough. Get a good, sensible pair of shoes,_ now something to keep you warm this cold weather, and no flimsy things."

Jenny presided at one of the fancy tables. Sne made a lovely picture ih the beautiful blue silk, her throat and wrists shaded with the softest lace, and the dainty blue boots fluttering in and out below the plaiting of her skirt.

Bell Dorsey was already at her post, IV came up sh eyes wide and exclaimed: "Oh,"my! you

and as Jenny came up she opened her my! you Did you drop fiom the blue angel! clouds?"

Jenny laughed, and happening just then to catch a glance from Dr. Chester, who stood near, blushed with pleasure, while the gentle heart in her bosom throbbed tumultously.

Jenny had a very busy day Of it There was much buying and selling, and Jenny's table was very popular. But as the new church was large and not yet finished, it was not very warm. The girls at the table were chilly all day, and by the time evening came Jenny's feet were so numb and cold that Bhe could hardly stand.

A hot supper, however, had been prepared at the hotel just across the street. Dr. Chester waited on Jenny at the table. Glad enough she was to get something warm and be near a fire.

But Dr. Chester, though kind and polite, was not what he had been. He seemed strangely cold and distant, and Jenny felt as if her bright. day was spoiled. But girls know how to hide these things, and Jenny was the gayest of the gay. She had to return to her store again immediately after supper, and oh, how sharply the cold struck her as she stepped out into the night.

Dr. Chesetr left her at the door of a small room designed for a vestry, but now used by the ladies as a dressingroom. Jenny ran in to put off her wraps, but, while dding this, heard her name spoken in the narrow passage without. '.'It's all settled, I suppose, doctor, between you and Miss Carson was what she heard. "No, Fred. I've seen the folly of that to-day." The tones which answered were the well-known ones of Dr. Chester, "You astonish me," replied Fred. "I don't mind giving you the reason, doctor. Fred," said the doctor. "Just look at that young lady's feet and you will have it In spite of this cold day she wears nothing bnt a flimsy pair of, blue silk shoes. I have more than fancied 'Miss Carson I don't deny it But you will see at once that a girl who can so utterly sacrifice her reason to her vanity is not the wife for a poor, struggling doctor with his fortune yet to make. But enough of this. Let's go in it's chilly here."

Poor JennyY Fortunately, there was no one in tbfe dressing-room but hereelf. She flew to the farthest end and hid h$r burning face on a pile of cloaks. But after a brief struggle she rallied. It would never do to cry. It would never do to go to her table with red eyes.' It was a very erect, firm-mouthed little lady who walked to. her table presently, and the heels of the pretty bine boots came down upon ihe floor with a sharp, resolute little click for Miss Jenny had made up her mind to do something very odd. "I am a little fool!" she Baid to herself: "but I don't quite deserve to lose a good man's good opinion, and I won't, either, if I can help it"

It was late before she was ready to go home. Just as she was abouito start Er. Chester, who was her escort, handed her a pair of overshoes, saying, quietly, as if it were a matter of couree ''Mia Jenny, lease put them on it is too cold a night or such thin shoes qs I see you wear."

Poor Jenny! Her face was saarlet with mortification. 8he made out to utter a confused "Thank you,1' and put on theoffered overshoes without another word. Tfam die took the doctor's arm rfnd they went out together.

Jenny's heart was beating so fast that it almost choked her, but she was as de

termined as ever. Before tea steps had been taken she uid: "Dr. C&aBter* do you think it right to condemn a person for a single fault?" "Certainly not," said the doctor, prpmptly. "Then why do you condemn me?" "I don't understand you,'1 said he. "I heard every word you said to Fred SomeiB to-night/' said Jenny quietly. "Miss Jenny!" He stopped, startled. "I did. I don't blame you, doctor. I gave you reason to think me only a vain, silly girl. 'Bnt "hear my defense, how sorry and ashamed I am, won't you?" And then Jenny made her penitent little confession, ending with: "I don't know what you think of me now, but, indeed "I think you are the dearest, bravest little girl in the world, and 'tis I who am the fool," cried the doctor, ardently. And then

But, then, I don't know that outsiders like you ana I, reader, ha.ve any right to listen.

When Jenny got home she took ofl the blue boots which had so nearly cost her a lover and flung them under a wardrobe, saying: "Lie there, you blue wretches! But you've taught me a good le£son. I've done with you. I'll buy my wedding boots before long, and they'll not be blue ones, either."

can," said Jenny but she

blushed, for in her heart she felt very guilty.However, she did mean to buy a pair of warm kid boots for every-day wear. She hoped to get the blue ones for about $4, which would leave her enough for the others and for gloves.

But when she stood in Turner's store and asked the price of the dainty, shiny things offered her the cler® promptly answered: "Seven dollars, Miss son.'' "Oh, dear! I was in hopes they were cheap," frankly confessed Jenny, layi down the boots. "Indeed, they are cheap," said the clerk. "I assure you. Miss Carson, we have sold these right along at $8. This is the last pair, so we offer them for less. They're very fine," "Yes," admitted Jenny. "Nothing sets ofl a dainty foot like a pair of these dainty boots," pursued the wily clerk, with an eye for his trade. "Very few young ladies could wear so small a shoe—just your size, you Miss Carson."

Poor Jenny sighed, thought of the thick, warm,

boots she ought to

recalled what Dr. Chester said, and silly little puss, for once let her vanity run away with her reason. "I'll take them," she said. After the boots were paid for there was barely enough left to buy her gloves afad a rib bon or two.

The next day, the great one, was clear and cold, with a sharp wind. Overshoes would ruin the dainty satin boots but, luckily for Jenny, the ground was dry. But it was frozen hard, and when she reached-the gaylv decorated room of the new church her feet were like ice.

HEIRS TO ?5oo,ooo,ooo.

Meeting at Dayton of the Descendant* of Amos Mercer, a Verltabie Crrasua, Dayton, August 21.—A large number of heirs ot the estate of John Mercer, from Springfield, O., Indianapolis, Penn sylvania and New York, met in this city on Tuesday for the purpose of establishing the lawful owners of the estate, the Mercer estate, said to be worth $500,000,000. John Mercer came to this country from Scotland about the time of the revolutionary war, locating in Chester county, Pennsylvania. Later on he inherited an estate near New York which was leased to the government. Amos Mercer .inherited this fortune. He had five qtuldren, who, about the time of the war of 1812, scattered and were never afterward heard of, except one named Joseph, who settled in Ohio over fifty years ago. The present Mercers aradesccendant8of Josepn and lay claim to the original estate of John Mercer. J. D, Mercer and Mrs. Mary Lance, of Fairfield, Ohio, are the principal heirs, and learned of this matter through an efiort on the part of Mrs. Mary Lance to settle her mother's estate. She learned while in New York that the-leaseof the original John Mercer to the government had expired in 1876, and the Supreme court, when Mr. Vanderbilt had made an effort

with counsel is looking yp the merits of the claim.

THE BLUE RIDGE QUAKING.

Peculiar Phenomena Which Dally Startle North Carolina Mountaineers. Raleigh, N. C., August 21.—News from Watauga county is to the effect that during a few days past, at 6 p. m., a startling noise like the loudest clap of thunder has heen heard. The sky was cloudless and the people were terribly frightened. In a moment the earth began to shake, and windows rattled and crockery fell. Noises were heard in the 'Blue Ridge mountains as if a train were rushing thiough them. On the top of the mountain ridge, near Blowing Rock and Boon, 4,100 feet above the sea level, these phenomena were also observed. The mountains e^fen shake to the very bottom. A party of tourists on the summit of Grandfather mountain, 6,000 feet above sea 'level, were almost overcome with fear. The noises lasted for quite a time, and were succeeded by a great wave or swell of the earth which made people giddy. Earthquakes are uncommon in that section, but these severe shocks are attributed to that cause, though some declare them to be of volcanic origin.

An Interesting Relic.

Washington Special. The collection of gems belonging to Smithsonian Institution, which was recently exhibited at the New Orleans exhibition, has just been put in the National museum for the first time. It is not the largest or most valuable one in the United States, although it may be at the end of four years of democratic retrenchment and reform. Among its treasures is one little nugget of gold, a little bigger than a pea. It is the most remarkable piece of metal in the worlds history. It is the first glittering particle of gold that met the eye of James Marshall, the discover of gold in California, who died last week, old, poor and misanthropic. Since Marshall found that bit of mineral in 1849, near Marysville, California has added to the gold of the world nearly fifteen hundred millions.

"Now, Gen'ral, you're posted come! give ub your views. In a brnsh at the front wliat's the powder to use?" He winked at a star as he puffed his cigar, And slowly replied, "In a brush at the front I never use powder, but SCZODONT."

Go Where You Will

you'll find SOZOOONT in vogue. People have thrown away their tooth powders and washes, and placed this odoriferous preservative of tne teeth on the toilet table in their place. It keeps the teeth in splendid order, and spices the breath.
