Probably no phystoian ever died in Lan- don who had so many warm personal friends and so many bitter professional enemies as the late Sir Morell Mackenzie. lie caret) by both honestly. He was a bard fighter, with all the courage of his convictions, and he had a faculty for winning the affection and confidence of his friends, particularly among his patients, that has rarely been excelled. In the practice of prolession Ise was of the gentlest and kindest nature, which was dis- played alike whether Isis patien t was of royal blood or the object of his charity : for en. ,Morell, overwhelmed as he was with engage- ments to treat the greatest and wealthiest people in the land, never turned away the humblest arid poorest sufferer who came to his door, He charged enormous fees to the rich. He would not tweeptmoney from the peer. A touching story illustratieg his kindness of "meat is related in one of toolay's newspaper. Into one of the hospitals to which he gave a portion of his zime each week was brought a wretched little working girl who had attempted to commit suicide by swallowing carbolic acid. Sir Morell attended her day after day, but herease was hopeless, and she was finally sent to her home in an East End shun to die. She lingered on for two or three weeks, end all her thoughts and con- versation wet e of the great physician who bad tended her so carefully and treated her so kindly. As her final momeets drew near she begged that some one would go to "her doctor," as alio termed him, and bring him to her bedside. So importunate were her entreaties that 51 city missionary, a ho visit- ed her daily, ventured to eall on Sir Morell and tell him of the dying girl's request. "Can I do anything for herr' asked Dr. Mackenzie "No,' :said the missionary; she is past human aid, but your presence would give her untold comfort." "111 go," said Or. Mackenzie, and he put aside all other en- gagements, wen "A miles to an East End tenement house, sat ilnwn by the girl's bed- side for an hour, suggested one or two simple allevations, celled her " my dear," and left her with two or three bank notes squeezed up in her hand. AGENT THE C. P. R. A11 the r. 5 eraiiways Going to Attaelt the Canadian Ituntes. A despatch from Deeroit says ;—The an- Pouncement of the boycott by the Michigan Central railroad of the Soo line by the rms. al of passenger connections eitber way prov- es to be a mere incident to the gigantic war- fare for winds preparations are now being made on the most magnificent scale, not alone by the Central but all lines centering in Chicago from the north-west and their eastern connections, inclusive of the entire Vanderbilt and. Pennsylvania systems, against the Canadian Pacific. The Jane- ary meeting of the North-western Commit- tee of the W esters Passenger Association de- cisive action was taken to withdraw the ar- rangements entered into at the conference held in February, 1890, regarding Canadian rates by way of Chicago. A John, letter was addressed on Janu- ary 11 to General Passenger Agent MeNicoll, of the Canadian Pacific. and Gen- eral Passenger Agent Edgar, of the Grand Trunk, giving notice that arrangements made at the conference referred to would be withdrawn. Upon request of two members of the association, however, a meeting of the North-western Committee has been called for to -morrow to consider the , question of postponing the notice regarding Ca- nadian rates by way of Chicago to the North-west. The roads requested to par- ticipate in the meeting, or conference, aro: the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, Michi• gib' Central, Wabash, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Great Northern and Northern Panific. An invitation has also been extended to F. C. Donald, vice -chair, man of the'OentralTraffic Association. This great meeting, it is confidently predicted by men having full knowledge of the situation, is the final quasi peace conferetwe before the declaration of war. Action heretofore taken is simply regarded as the skirmishesinci- dent to taking the position by the several great armies. Heller says that there are presents in the islands adjoining Madagascar which have heade whieh are always held erect, and faces "which much resemble those of the human epecies." WHOLE CITIES DESERTED. Disastrous Results or °mimosa Caboose tei een usas-srowns end Cillea Left Withoitt a Single In habitant—CasternLOnu Cola- Pantes Own the tottutry. Seven years ago, says the N Y. Times, the town site and boomers managed to ob. tam control of the KallSaS Legislature and secured the formation of a dozen or more small counties in Southwestern Kansas. Land was cheap, and they expected to reap their reward in selling laud costing $1.25 an acre for $900 an acre after it had been cut up into town lots. In many instances they succeeded, while the results of their greed were county -seat contests, which unfortu- nately sometimes ended in bloodshed. While these men bad divided the land ipto oometies, making them as small as ti e Constitution would perinit,others had rush- ed in and started towns of their owe. So num- erous were thee municipal plots that often they were but three or four miles apart. Assam as the counties were organized, and the appoiuted officers followed by elec- ted ones, the VOVing of bonds was com- menced, and continued until a. fair country was so burdened that the present genela- tion will be unable to throw off the bad. County buildings,bridges, sugar works, schoolhouses, and then refunding bonds to replace scrip issued for expenses, followed each other in rapid succession. The ease with which the first bonds were disposed of in New York, Boston and Philadelphia in creased the disease, for all were anxious to get rich. Twenty thousand dollars conicl be obtained for a handsomely printed bit of paper costing but a few cents. The boom period passed. away. Property depreciated in value, where it did not vanish altogether, and the population dwindled away until the load uow borne is ft great one, that can have but one result. The Attorney -General hes comtnenced proceedings in the Supreme court to dis organize Garfield county. He sem forth two reasons—the Wept orgeeizaelon and the small munber of Inhabitants and the limited value of property. It costs about 810,000 to run one of these new counties one year. Under statutory provisions, only 1 per cent. eau be taxed to pay these ex- peuses, and therefore there is an annual •deficit of neerly $.6,000. To 'create such an. indebtedness is a penitentiary offence under a law passed three years ago. If the Su- preme -court disorganizes the county for the first roam), then its indebtedness of 456, according to Attorney -General Ives, will be illegal, having been created without authority of law, and the bond holders will have to lose that amount. If disorganized for the second reason only, then the debt will remain valid against that counly as a muneipal township. r.f successful in this application tne .A.itorney.Geueral will pro- eeed against sixteen other counties, No allusion has been made to the private indebtedness represented by mortgages held by Eastern incm. Very many of these have been satisfied, the honest settler havingprospered during the lastnive years. The greater portion of this class of indebted- ness has been due to the rescality and dis- honesty of two classes of people—the early preemptor, whenever intended to become a permanent resident, and the loom agent, who was aware of the fact, but who desired his commissions. The latter knew when placing loans on many of these tracts of land, that he was virtually =king a sale, bat he could not -longo scouring ins share of the plunder, An inciuent the,b came to the personal knowledge of the Times' mores - pendent illustrates this feature. In 1887, having occasion to visit the off- ice of a loan agent in a Western enmity, it was his good fortune, or bad fortune, to he present when a tall, dirty ugly homesteader came in to close up a loan. He had "prov- ed up," and had. )ds papers all regular. He had inade application for $1,500, but had been allowed oaly $900 by the home, office. He gave the required mortgage on his place, signed the notes, and thou received he 8900, less $OO eommission, although his papers called -fop the lull amount. Careful- ly stowing the $810 away, be said : " Wall, I've made a domed good sale. I've get mor'n I ev.r expected to git ler the old place. I'm goin' back to Arkansaw and git me a little place, and darn my hide of you'll ever ketch me at Kansas agin 1" His "place" was not :lethally worth more than $G'. The agent knew it, and the liotne office had reason to believe that the laud could not be werth the money pivoted on it. An evidence of this was that not a member of the Investment company, which is still courted a. good one, ever placed a (iollar, 1 of his money ou lands in that county. It lita. always &stern- money thet went into this class of Investments." There are twenty well-built towne in this state w.thout a single inhabitant to waken the echoes of their deserted streets.

Her banks remain, but they are seem. Smile of her dwellings stand there, moult:emits of the credulity of man. At Fargo a $25,000 school -house stands on the side of the hill, a mmiument, of the bond -voting craze. Most, of the buildings have been removed or are torn down. The hotel ceps gloomy watch over the few re - mailing houses, aided by the " bank." A herder and his family constitute the sole population of what was once an incorporat- ed city. 'South Hutchison is another example of a well built, city without a, people. It would take more than $300,000 to duplicate the buildings there, and yet one can wander through the streets without finding man, woman or child. Tne list might be con- tinued, but it would be a dreary repetition. Speaking of these "cities," Mr. George W. Martin, of Wyandotte, recently said: "Kansas has needed only one lesson, and we will find out when the reaction comes, after the depression, whether she has yet learned it. Every hamlet has been ambi- tions to be a metropolis. Every twenty miles the people bonded themselves and built railroads for which they will have no earthly use in the next half century. Like the ono -hundred dollar man -with the one - thousand -dollar horse, each community has a system of water works. I know places where thousands of dollars lie in the ground in water mains, and if the property for blocks waste burn tile loss would not amount to as much as the interest on the debt" *urger., ••••• Her Brightest Boy.

Florence, Feb. 18.—An atrocious scandal, involving an officer and nobleman, has COMO te light hero. The officer, Lieutenant Couut Livourne, some time ago betrayed and dce serted a beaatiful girl of sixteen, Marie Bianchini, residing at a town some distance from 'Florence. The unfortunate young woman was of excellent family, but poor. Immediately upon abandoning her the Count married a wealthy lady. Marie soon afterward came to Florence, where she sought, out her betrayer and reproached him for his treacherous conduct, The noble officer became SQ enraged at her denunciat- ions that he knocked her down anti kicked ber as the lay prostrate, and finally threw himself upon the victim of his brutal rage and bit part of one of her ears off, The as- sault came to the notice of the authorities, and the lieutenant was coureonartialled, found guilty, aud sentenced to undergo a mouth's imprisonment without preudieb to the right of the girl to bring a civil action for damages. The newspapers helm been forbidden to refer to the case, on the ground thet its publicity would bring disgrace upon military service. Friends and sympathizers with the doubly injured girl are arranging to supply her with funds for the prosecution of the lieutenant. Rewards to the Imo Ohoo Islanders. The Minister of Marine and Fisheries has approved of the granting of certain rewards to the natives of one of the Loo Chao islands, Japan, for their humodie treatment of the shipwrecked crew of the Lizzie C. Troop, of 55. John, Ns, B,, which was wrecked in , those waters about 18 mouths ago. At the time of the wreck eight seamen and the inaeter's child were drowned, and the mas- ter himself and the carpenter died from the injuries they received. ,A. ember of the • crew managed to get ashore, where they were very kindly treated by the natives, who fitted it junk and took the men to Napa, 0 i miles distant, whence they took steamer to Hiega. During the storm the captain's wife was noticed to be clingitag to the poop of the vessel and two of the crow of the Lizzie 'Troop swain out to the wreck and brought the woman safely to land.

At a recent banquet in this city there was a neat bit of repartee between two of the after-dinner speakers. which WAS greatly appreciated by those about the festive board. The first speaker was a State official and member of the Baptist Church, who evi- dently placed. but a sinall estimate upon his powers of entertainirs, as he told the scpcnelpkaeir.tyhe would talk simply to save them from the worse fate of listening to the next. To illustrate his position he related a, atory of a party of lynchers who had hes ged a, nein and were afterward greatly concern- ed about breaking the news gently to the widow. .After castipg about for some time as to the best means of conveying the in- telligence they had deckled upon writing the following note: "Dear Madam: We have this clay saved your husband from drowning." "And so, gentlemen," continued the speaker, "in my holdiug the floor to -night, though my speech may bo an ;uninteresting and a bora% oue, I may still be saving you from tbe worse fate of drowning at the hands of the speaker who is to follow inc." The company laughed and wondered what the next speaker would say to this gond- nttteintreed refieetion on his power of elos ciuc It happened that, the following speaker was a Methodist minister, Dad as he rose to respond to his toast he neatly turned the point against his predecessor by remarking: "Gentlemen, as e am not a minister or the Baptist Church and consegnently do not practice immersion, there is no fear of any attempt on my part to drown you.' —[Boston Herald. Snperstition assumes some very pecaliar forms in Hawaii. For instance, some of the natives believe that if they cross the threshold of the royal palace with the left foot first, a train of bad luck will follow them in some way, either in health or bini- nese. The average Hawaiian would as soon welcome the sight of an ocean of hot lava pouring over the country from Manna Loa as to see it foreign warship anchor in the great harbour.
