Logan believes in stalwart partisanship . and. in .accepting the logical rest ilia of "defeat. ; He has no sympathy ? with the Republicans in office who ask to be" retained In an interview in Washington recently he is reported as saying: .'-..' - ''I hope every Republican who asks to be retained by this administration will be turned out of office. I have received letter after letter from Re publicans in office urging me to exert myself to have them retained. I shall not humiliate myself in that way. I would rather help to get Re publicans of that sort out. ilnfacfyit is strange to me that a ; Republican would ask a Democratic administras tion to keep him in office No Repub lican would ask Cleveland to appoint him if he was out of office. A peti tion for retention stands cn the same principle. It is virtually asking yst Democrat for an appointment.-;-. If a Republican would not ask for an of fice he should not ask to be retained in one. If he is holding an 6ffice and is asked to lemain on account of his faithful services it is another thing. In that case he has a right to' accept, but he is clearly, wrong in asking to be retained." This is the proper, manly view of the subject. How much better figure an ; office-holder would present in promptly tendering his resignation than in waiting for his resignation to be requested, or to be bounced under the "offensive partisan" clause, as so many of them have done. Any one of them who was worth a continental to the party which appointed them could be removed under this clause, for there was not one of them who' was not an active partisan, and an active partisan becomes an offensive one without any great strain of lan guage. By consenting to continue in office under a Democratic adminis-1 tration they practically put, for a consideration, a padlock upon their lips, for tjhey of course will he mum while in office, and will not dare to criticise the administration upon whose indulgence or favors they bstng. They part," so to speak, with their ; liberty, and : become mere ciphers. No man with aj keen sense of self-appreciation could afford to occupy any such negative position, as this, for- the sake of holding on to a place which he feels ought to go to J somebody else, and in which he can never feel comfortable. "They through all. the years of Republican, ascent dancy acted upon the principle that to the victors belong the spoils, and due-" regard for ? manly, consistency should impel them to recognize that principle now aiid get - down and out without- waiting to be invited 1 or ejected. , Qen. Logan's " view is "the proper one, and the view that all Re-" publican office-holders ought to take of this matter. J The Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic of this week announces .that : hence forth it will be consolidated with the State Chronicle, under the manage ment of Capt. Shotwell, who - has : so long conducted the Farmer and Me chanic with signal ability, and Mr. Arendell, ; the sprightly editor of the Chronicle, who succeeded "Walter Page. They are both able men, and will issue a paper useful to the State and deserving of popular support. - Children were born'; to a mother and daughter at the same time and in the same house in Illinois the other day.

The nests are 12,000 feet above the ; level of the sea, so it's little use to hunt them in the; mountains. They ' are trapped occasionally, and some "are poisoned hut as a rule the business doesn'.tpay, and the condors increase in numbers." :v;; :V- 1 "How did you manage it?" he was asked, ; 'By playing off sick. Along the coast there are ; great stretches of s md, without vegetation, which are perilous fo cross, at" all times, because of the heat and the liability of getting lost, It was my plan to start out at night, well provided with water, and seek, a place under a big rock where I could find shelter and : to which 1 could return by landmarks. At mid day 1 would start out in the broiling sun, walking briskly and describing a large circle.. It was very- easy to stagger after awhile and fall, and then get up and stagger on again, .keeping a good lookout for the birds all the time, lest one should suddenly drop on me from behind. It would take a very short tinie to bring them swoop ing around,, waiting for the. death of what they supposed was a worn out traveller.

I didn't throw very hard, . and sit on the sand and look at me sideways. Then was my opportunity. Pulling two navy revolvers from under my coat, I'd let drive at them. They are wonderful in the air, but to get aloft they must first run along the sand with wings spread for a couple of rods. It was a cpld day when I didn't get at least three, and one day I captured seven. That was a trick "which the condors didn't learn eas- - Victor Hugo's Manuscripts. Paris Correspondence London Telegraph. It may be interesting to those with who-n the great French poet was a favorite author to know that the manuscripts left by Victor Hugo will furnish matter jenough for ten vol umes. The arrangements for; their publication have all been made by the poet himself, who set them down in what is known as his second will: Three volumes are nearly ready to appear, and probably comprise mis cellaneous prose and poetry, while the seven others will be made up of letters, notes and similar documents, dating from Jersey and Guernsey, l-and written- during the poet's exile from his native land. The publica tion of the manuscripts will extend over a period of ten or fifteen years, although the poet has fixed no special time ; for i their production; In the event of the death of one or more of bis literary executors, who are his special friends, M. A." Vacquerie M. Paul Meurice and M Lefevre, the poet has left instructions for their replacement by some other person or persons to be chosen by his friends or testamentary executors. The hew executors are to receive so much per cent, on the profits of the sale of those" works. Some difficulty still exist') as to , the old manuscripts, which the poet,, during his lifetime, had intended tov leave to. his friend, Mme. Drouet, who a few years ago preceded him to thejtomh. Whether Victor HUgo, "after the death, of this lady, made a third will to regulate the disposition of those manuscripts will not be known until the executors have opened his testamentary docu ments. This has been delayed owing to the illness of one of the executors. Mme. Drouet was to. have left; the manuscripts to the State at her death. It is affirmed that the Messrs. Roth schild31 have 200,000, or 5,000, OOOf , standing in their books to " Victor Hugo's account i but there is noactual sum set down in the first or principal will prepared by the poet in the holo graphic form. Ample provision is made in this document for his two grandchildren, for Mme. Edouard Lockroy," and for the poet's only daughter, who is in a private asylum.

An tiudertaker's BelielThal Prople are v Oiien tinned Alive." , S "The world would be horrified." said a well known Philadelphia - un- . aertaeer tne other day,' vu! it knew the number of bodies that are buried before life is extinct. Once in awhile one of these cases comes to light,- but no steps are iaKen to prevent its re currence. Something that happened to me about twelve - years ago has worried me ever since. . I was sent for; one day to take charge of the body of a man in street. The man was a tailor, and had fallen over while sitting on his s bench sewing. He was a big fleshy man, about forty years of age, and weighed about 250 pounds. The body , was warm and the limbs were limp. : I did not be lieve the man was dead, and said up. His friends told me that a physician had pronounced him dead. I was ordered to put the body - on ice at once, but I delayed this operation, on one pretext or another, for nearly two days. - During this time the body lay on the bench in - the little shop. Finally I could delay no longer. The limbs were still as -limber as when I first examined the body. : I prepared the body for burial, and the next day it was buried I do not believe that man was dead -when tbe earth was shoveled in on his coffin. If the same thing were to happen again I would let somebody else do the bury ing. - "About the same time a . young woman living up town was supposed to have died verjr suddenly. A phy sician was called in. He said she was dead. An old woman who was pres ent, thought otherwise, and insisted upon it that she was in a trance. The body was buried. A few weeks later the old woman determined to satisfy herself about it, and bribed the grave diggers to disinter the : coffin. The lid was removed and a horriqle sight was seen. The young woman had come to life and had , made t terrible struggle for liberty. , Her hair was torn out . and her face was fright fully scratched. She had. turn ed oyer on her face. , - f 'A person is generally believed to be dead if there is no action of the heart or pulse. But if a person is in a jtrance there is no action of the heart or pulse. A vein should be opened. If blood flows the person is not dead. The operation would take about thirty seconds, but i it is not often resorted to. Suppose the per son is suffering only from a tempos rary suspension of animation. Be fore he can recover the ;use of his faculties, anj undertaker K comes in, and be is put in ,. an ice box, where whatever life there may have been in him is frozen out. , The board of health should take hold of this mat ter and devise some means of as certaining beyond all doubt that life is jextinct before the body is buried. I have thought of a good many differ ent means: A receiving vault could be built in every cemetery, where bodies could be placed until decom position had begun,' when they could bo buried."
