THE AMERICAN EAGLE. BI MRS. F. M. HOWARD.

< ^ BUNCOMBE had received an i„. vitation to make a . •peech at the com- \ ? onrth of July I celebration. J 1 had hundreds Iperhaps thousands’ jo f other men, but it J h °l ! « d that F < h ^ nor did not F have the same effect upon the other thouBands; for, (l hour when the v< m . mittee on program waited upon Mr Buncombe with the request, he hud be-

... .. to puff up an ; .nlarge until there seemed to be a confine necessity for a new suit of clothes at tho least, if not an entire change of rosi jence and occupation. He was not a domestic aaeel at mv time, and poor, gentle Mrs. Buncombe, immediately descended to a lower seal* iu his estimation than ever before white the junior Buncombes were made to stand ground with a firmness hitherto unparalleled in the domestic economy P He had a gait of swelling importance ,t any time and now his spinal column tgeemed in danger from the strain put ‘upon it, as Mr. Buncombe swelled and -ratted while his eyes had a far awav look, as if the grea, mind was soarinn off into space in search of wonderful and un—reachable thoughts for the cominc or tion. It was this important gait and manner of his which had gained him the invita tion in the first place, for the committee not being composed of critical or analytil cal members, naturally supposed that where there was so much cry there must be a corresponding amount of wool to use a homely proverb, and gave Mr Bun combe credit for the Went and importance which he so evidently considered himself possessed of. It was to be a rural celebration, held in the woods, with the good oi ’ accompaniment of a picnic dinner, swings and like luxuries, and a glorious time was expected. Tie principal lawyer of the village was to make the opening speech of the day the ooetor following with the reading of the Declaration, and Mr. Buncombe representing the agricultural interests of the community, would follow with his speech a:ter the music, and Mr B secretly determined the last should outdo all the rest of the programme, in fact, that the last should be liret liter div The dictionary, the encyclopedia' and all the historical works which the village hbrary afforded, were on the kitchen table for weeks before the auspicious event, and every evening the young Buncombes were tip-toing about in deadly 7'7 *A MOMENT LATF.R MR. BUNCOMBE EMERGED FROM THE BARS.” fear of “disturbin' pa." until such time as they were sternly ordered off to bed, until the oration was finished and its commitment to memory began. “Pap s a recitin’,” said Johnny to Philander, as they came within hearing of a sonorous voice out in the barn, affirming that “The great cause of Ameiic<n liberty has been gloriously—ahem!—ah!” Evidently Mr. Buncombe had re/erred to his MS., which he always carried with him now. “So there, yon unregenerate heart ” Evidently, also, the cows’ views on the subject of American liberties had been enlarged, and a moment later Mr. Buncombe emerged from the barn with an empty pail and clothing very much bespattered with milk, oratory and milking, seemingly two distinct occupations which did not meet harmoniously. Mrs. Buncombe meekly wiped him off, while Mr. B. mentally resolved to seek a new sphere of action at no distant day—a wider sphere, better suited to his talents, and where cows are not a disturbing slement. There were savory smell? proceeding from the Buncombe kitchen the day' preceding the picnic. Mr. B, was not generally a prodigal provider, but the circumstances were such in this case that the paternal pursestrings were unloosed to an unprecedented extent, and Mrs. Buncombe was almost bewildered under the fire of raisins, citron, epices and other good things which the grocer’s delivery clerk rained in upon her. , “Say, Johnny, yer don’t s pose pap s goin’ ter die,” said Philander, anxiously. “Naw, not ’nless that air speech sticks ’n ’is throat ’n chokes ’im,” replied Johnny, irreverently, smacking his lips prospectively at sight of the unwonted dainties. “itot there’s big words nuff in it to choke n n’ox. ” . Mrs. Buncombe, dressed in her best Bunday delaine, climbed into the big wagon the morning of the fourth, followed bv Johnny, Philander and little MatiMa. and last but not least the clothes basket full of good things, which was oaret’ullv hoisted in by Mr. Buncombe himself, who was gotten up in a style 1-efitting the importance and solemnity of,the occasion. Very few words were exchanged on the wav to the picnic ground. Mr. B s mind be ; ng evidently employed m rehearsing the intricate portions of his speech, as he sat holt upright, bolding the reins with all the dignity a little at variance with the meek and humble characters of old Doll and Bess, ambling along in eouine ignorance of the fact that they tore an orator of the day in their rear. Mr Buncombe formed an oniamental addition to the select crowd gathered on the platform, as his stately head towered nv from his stiff collar and amp e cravat, his broad brow bared to the July breeze, and his broad smile beaming hl ” fellow-citizens in a most condescen 1 o got eurratoor of the s P U hez he?” remarked an honest farmer to another, as he caught as me view of Mr. Buncombes portly fi«ure- • ’Pears like his back bone’s kinder drawn b T^yeT gave a terse and pointed speech, ending by wittily remarking that he presumed his audience were as hun y as he was himself, ami he would not de tain them with a long speech within the

The audience tittered, and Mt. Buncombe turned a shade redder. “My inends, ho said again, desperately, ihst representative bird, the proud American eagle ” r ^ a ,y> niister, I guess ths 'merican eagle s Hewed away," squealed a small boy in the audience, after the pauiio had become oppressive. Ihe opportune or inoppertune remark had completed Mr. Buncombe's embarrassment; and, while the people roared with laughter, Mr. Buncombe st>ggered back to his seat, end mopped the perspiration of defeat^from hie brow, and wished for a few mountains to ©over him from the gaze of that giggling audience. “Tap’s gone an’ done it now," wh’ pered Philander in Johnny’s ear. “Served ’im right,” returned Jo-hunt “He’d no business to a-feltso blamed bit over it." “Our esteemed follow citizen, Mr. Buncombe, desires me to say that, owing to a sudden attack of illness, he will be unable to finish the interesting and eloqueat oration which we had hoped to hear," ■aid the lawyer, blandly, an he came to the front, obligfngjy crooking his elbows and spreading his coat-tails as much as possible to screen his esteemed fellow citizen from the gaze of the laughing crowd. In fact, Mr. Buncombe was sick—sick of public speaking, of f ourth of July celebrations and several other things, and giving Philander hasty directions in regard to unhitching ami driving Bess and Doll safely home, he folded his tent and silently stole away. “I say, Philander, one piece o’ mam's currant pie is worth half a do&eu o’ pop’s speeches.,” whispered Johnny at the table as he took an enormous bite of the delicacy in question. “Tell ye what, es I was mam, next time pap makes fun o’ hew oos she ain't ez smart ez he is, I d .jest ask Im es his American eagle d got bitck yet. Bet I would. ” The audience was a good-natured one, and seeing by Mrs. Buncombe's scarlet cheeks and moist eyes how thoroughly mortified she was by her spouse’s failure, they undertook to smooth things over by a judicious series of compliments on the spicy contents of the clothes-basket and otherly neighborly attentions, succeeding so well that she spent the day far more pleasantly than she bad ever been able to when shadowed by the eclipse of her lord’s superior presence. Meanwhile Mr. Buncombe trudged sadly homeward; he had been so ovor-confidvnt of his ability to repeat his speech Verbatim that he had left it on the table at home, and as he entered the kitchen the fateful document was the first object which mot hia gaze. He took it up, looking at it with vindictive eyes, and shook it as a terrier shakes a rat. “Ye’ll never make me any more trouWHL 2 !

COLUMBIAN COMMISSION ■ TH ??ma W ' PALMER, OF MICHIGAN, CHOSEN PRESIDENT. John B. Dickinson, of Texas, Selected as °‘ tb « World’s FairTive I ice Presidents lo Bo Klected by the National Commission. Chicago dispatch: Mr. Thomas W. Pabner of Michigan has been elected president of the national world's fair commission.^ The first, thing the commissioners did was to dispense with the roll-call and the. reading of the minutes the previous day’s meeting. Then ie committee on permanent organizajon reported, recommending the election of a president, five vice-presidents, and a secretary. Thomas W. Palmer of Michigan was then placed in nomination for the office of president He was elected by acclamation. Mr. Palmer expressed his thanks in an exceptionally neat and concise manJj* ■ THOMAS IV. PALMER. ner ana proceeded at once with the business of the convention. A resolution was then passed, after a great deal of alteration, to the effect that the committee on organization recommend to the commission its choice ot candidates for the vico-presi-dencies, and that the committee sit for two hours to hear the individual view of iftiy commissioner who desires to address them on behalf of any candidate before making any-deciaion. Nominations for secretary were then in order, and F. J. V. Skiff of Colorado, without, preliminary remarks, nominated John B. Dickinson of Texas for the position and expressed the hope that the election would be made by acclama» tion, whfth was done. As the president introduced Mr. Dickinson to the commission he remarked: “lie looks as if there were a good deal of work in him, but it will all be worked out before 1893,” Secretary Dickinson made known his obligations in a suitable speech. It was then moved that the local committees bo informed tliat the national commission was duly organized and ready for business. The committee on permanent quarters asked for a continuance of time in which to make a decision, which was granted. An announcement was then made that Mrs. Potter Palmer invited all the commissioners and alternates present and their iamilies to attend a reception given nt her residence in the afternoon from i until 7 o clock. President Palmer said: “Airs. Palmer is not my wife but the wife of Potter Palmer, one of Chicago's most enterprising citizens, and I advise you all tp attend.” The commission formally acknowledged tlie invitation. Prof. King of lowa then moved that a committee oj live be appointed to express the commission's thanks to the citizens of Chicago and the States association for the banquet of the previous evening. Gov. McDonald of California seconded this and add«xl that never had he sat down to a more magnificent spread or met more hospitable and deligthful people than the residents of Chicago The commissioners were then invited to be present ♦at the gradualing exercises of the high schools at 2:30 o'clock at the Auditorium, which was accepted. THE STRIKE ENDED. Illinois Central Kmployes Have Returned to Work. Chicago dispatch: The strike of the Illinois Central employes has ended, the mon having returned to work. In. a few hours the- tracks where were aceemulaled hundreds of freight and passenger cars wore cleared and the business of the road was resinned. The strikers met in Prosperity liall where the uitimntum of General ouper'ntendent SuUivan, refusing to discharge Division Superintendent Rush’ll was presented. This was followed l>y a sharp discussion lastin gsoveral hours, in the course of which Master Workman Wilkinson, of Galesburg, was accused of inactivity regarding the strike anil of actually favoring the company. Air. Wilkinson indignantly deziied these charges and cJauned that he was earnestly supporting the demands of the men. Finally the question of formally calling out tiie employes of the road was presented, aaid the question of the men going back to their places was voted on the ballot standing 305 yeas to 106 nays, and thus the strike was settled. It Is a victory or tne company, was prophesied from the first by clearthinking, impartial railroad men. While the company has refused to discharge Division Superintendent Russell, It has, so the strikers claim, given them its word that Mr. Russell will no longer be allowed to exercise what the trainmen term a “one man Dower.” “On tds promise we will return to work,“ said a committeeman during a lull in the meeting at Prosperity hall This determination was presented to Superin tondent Sullivan and was ac-ce-pted. “No one will be discharged because of his connection with this strike,” said the general superintendent “ill-advised as it may have been. The num have done no deeds of violence, have destroyed no property, have deported themselves as gentlemen, at least in my presence, and on that sepre will not be militated against.” 1 i-eiii Tin’ uud Near.

The Story of a New York House. There is in New York, upon one Os the tiost fashionable thoroughfares, a most magnificent homie—yea, it is a veritable >alace—which can never be looked at by lie sentimental woman without a tear somlng to her eye, because of the story ittached to it. It was designed and built by one of the 'ichest men in New York—the head of an >ld Dutch family—for the woman he oved. Throughout the whole house, vhich might have been called “’ihe Souse Bountiful,” were the colors, furlishing, ornaments, and dainty touches bat were the yoipig bride's taste. The >all-room, in which she expected to trip to many merry measures, was walled and tailed in many-colored marbles; but the over, himself, directed the building of be porte cochare under which her car■iago was to roil, so that, stepping out, ihe would not be touched by a drop of .'ain or a flake ot snow. Everything was ready; the horses were pawing in the itable waiting for tho day to come when ihey would carry their new mistress out; be coachman and the footman had their Jig white rosettes at h nd to wear on the redding day; the house was full of kagrsnoe, for beautiful flowers were n&ssed to pleaee t-he coming mistress, ind everything seemed to be in harmony nth all this thoughtful, loving care, for he sun shone bright, and it was eome>ody’s wedding day. Yes; but it wasn’t in earthly wedding, for when, with quick .'ootsteps, her mother went to wake the ixpectant bride, she found her dead. I'he last kiss she had given had been to ler lover the night before. The last kiss m ever gave any human being he gaye to aer a« she rested in her colliii. But he liv<« on in the beautiful house and does, rith his great fortune, a deal of good, all n the name of the woman he loved. The shutters are never opened in that wonderful house, the carriage has never been used, no feet have danced in the ball-room; but it and the solitary man ire there as evidences of the fact that a ove can so completely till the heart that ill life is nothing without it.—Dadiis’ living Journal.
