MARK TWAIN MEETS His MATCH:

Although it is some time since Mark Twain left South Africa, South Africans follow the doings of the author of * I'he Inuocents Abroad” with lively jaterest writes & correspondent by this mail; “ During Mark Lwain’s recent lecturing visit to the Rand, a certain weil known doctor, @ very genial Irishman, bad oceasion to take a train to Krugersdory on the day fier he had attended a leciure by the great humorist. He had snugly en- scouced himself in an empty Carriage, which was just starting, when Mark Twaiu himeelf entered and wok the opposite seat. The doctor at once recognized the pew-

front the cold. Whey « neigishor pp,.2 him

‘Visit, he could discuss the latest news from the nearest post office or talk over the old Jimes in the old land. If to his industry ian added good judgement and good health he could rest and sleep in peace, nove making him afraid. He retired early and rose before the suo, His tastes were simple; hie désizes few. Be lived lect ‘6 Dalure and to nature’s God. H® conquered the wilderness and prospered. In the course of seven or eight or tea years from the time of his arrival, the roots of the stumps of the trees which he at first cut down, were sufficiently decayed to be taken out. Then began the heavy work of stumping. In this work our pionee, farmer was often assisted by bis neighbors, he in turn assisting them, with horse or yoke of oxen. Every succeeding summer he would have a “stumping frolic,”—in which all the men and boys near by would take an agtive part—ending by adance with the girls aad a “goose siipper” in the evening. The stumps ottt; or partially out, ther, was soon a new developement of farming in Prince Edward Isiand. A rough, home-made, wooden plough, with a wooden mould-board, was introduced, and this was followed by the “crotch: barrow.” This latter implement was simply a small hard#ood tree, trimmed of all but two swuut branches, into each of which a few wooden teeth were inserted. When in use the stem of the tree was attached to the oxen’s yoke, and the branches, with the teeth, formed the harrow and pulverized the friable soil. Large, untired and broad- wheeled wocden carts were soon sadded> and roads were, vy degrees, cut through the forest, stumped, and cleared. The way and the work were thus made easier for our pioneer farmers and their soot. They begin to enlarge their borders

He lives on the farm on which be was born and has never been farther than 80 miles from his own hearthstone. He never rode on a railroad train, never saw a steamboat, a theatrical performance or a game of baseball

Mr. Higgins has been a justice of the peace for brooklyn township without a break in the consecutive links of time since 1861. No decision handed down from his bench has ever been reversed by a higher court. He has married more than 500 couples and points with pride to the fact that none of them ever ap- pealed to a divorce court for a severance of the matrimonial bond. Squire Hig- gins isa bachelor and says that he can- not remember that he ever paid court to any young woman. He also says that he is one of the few ‘‘Andrew Jackson Democrats” in the country. —-Blandins- ville (Ills. ) Star.

‘‘Later ou the Doctor asked who his companion might be?

Speaking of pictures he mentioned the name of Altbert Burer ‘Dure:!’ corrected the Doctor. ‘And Velastian—’* Velasquez!’ again corrected the imperturbable Docior. At the second interruption Mark Twain stood up, ex- tended his hand, and said: *Shake hands, Sir.

Senator Féraker’s New House.

Speaking of Senator Foraker’s new house in Washington, now approaching completion, a correspondent of the Chi- cago Record says: ‘The house promises to be a beautiful specimen of architec- ture and is large enough to accommo- date a considerable colony of the sena- tor’s friends. The material is yellow fire brick, trimmed with gray sand- stone. The interior is arranged for en- tertaining, and in the basement are a

planned for offices for himself and clerks. Senator and Mrs. Foraker have not been known as society people. While governor of Ohio he was hospitable and performed all the sociai duties required of him ina manner beyond criticism, but after his retirement from office he removed to Cincinnati, where he lived quietly, devoting himself to his profes- sion and picking up business enough to make him rich, while Mrs. Foraker de- voted ehil and the care of child, #0 whom both she and the sena- tor have shown the most touching devo- tion.”’
