They woro twin brothers, being born on tho 29th day of February, 1824. For years they had lived in difforout states, and neither knew of tho illness of tho othor. Both were stricken with paralysis, and both died about tho samo hour on Sunday afternoon.

A special opportunity is Affnrrlrwi of Fhu ccul? soi enc5 to distinguish Uiomselvos by wplainicg thin coincidence. U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, tSSg, Tho President passed upon tho tho record of the court martial in the case of Col.

Compton of tho Forth Cavalry, who is charged with failure, while in command of tho military post at Walla Walla, to tako steps to prevent tho lynching of a gambler uamed Hunt, under arrest for killing ono of tho soldiers under him. Tho court found him guilty and sentenced him to suspension from rank and command for three years on half pay and to bo confined to tho limits of tho military post. Tho President approved the proceedings of tho but mitigated tho sontonco to suspension from rank and command on half pay for two years. A special from Salt Lake says: "Information has been received that sovoral members of the Burlington and Missouri rivor surveying part', which has been running lines through tho Stinking Water country, in Big Horn basin, between Buffalo and the Yellowstono Park, soparated from tho main bod and undertook the perilous entorpriso of running a lino through tho Big Horn canyon. This was nearly two months ago.

Nothing has been heard from thorn since and othor members of tho party havo almost abandoned hopo of ever seeing them again. Except in winter when tho river is frozon over therois not au instance on record of anyone traveling through tho terrible rent in tho mountains and coming out alive. Ono of tho two who mado a portion of tho journey has been nearly torn to pieces and says it is more awful than tho Grand Canyon of tho Colorado and tho danger infinitely groator." The night previous to his committing suicide, General Boulaugor issued tho following: "1 shall kill myself to-morrow. Iam convinced my followers aro so dovoted and numerous that thoy will bear mo no anger for disappearing on account of sorrow, so great that all work becomes impossible for me. May thoy continue to act against them who in scorn of all laws forco mo to dio far from my country.

My death is no shame to myself, but it is a shame to thoso who sought to b.and a loyal soldier by tho judgmout of a political tribunal. I desire to recall tho fact that I have many times offered to constitute myself their msoiior. I havo ono regret that I mvo not died on tho field of battle, fighting for my country. That country at least will permit ono of its children, at tho moment of returning into nothingness, to recall himself to the memory of all lovers of la patrio. Vivo la France! Vivq la public!" World's Fair Notes.

Nicaragua wants half an aero for tho site of its building at tho Exposition. Commissioner Shufoldt has cabled from Capo Town, South Africa, that an exhibit of diamonds and feathers worth $300,000 will bo sent from Capo Town. There is to be a Columbian Exposition at Madrid, Spain, during tho summer of 1892, and tho Exposition management isendoavoring to profit by it and secure exhibitors for tho Chicago Exposition in 1893. Two anchors that Columbus carried in in his ships will bo oxhibitod at tho Fair, and already ono of them is stored in Washington, waiting to bo brought to Chicago. Tho anchors were found by Columbian Commissioner Obor near two old wells at San Salvador.

Half a million pansies, ono hundred thousand roses; and millit9ns of other flowers, including every known variety and species, will bo soon at tho Exposition. Tho horticultural exhibit will bo on a scale nover before attempted in tho history of tho world. It is probable that tho fivo territories New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Oklohoma, and Alaska will inako the oxhibit of thoir resources and products under ouo roof. Thoy uni ted in a request to that offect and it was granted. Utah, howovor, wants to make an oxhibit by horsolf if her legislature appropriates enough mouoy to enable her to do so.

The following biographical sketch of Dr.

R. K. Robinson is taken from the Sabina, (Ohio) Record of September 17: Dr. Robert Killin Robinson, son of Joseph and Margaret Robinson, was born nearBloomington, Clinton county, Ohio, September 17th, 1840, and died at Logansport, Indiana, Soptombor Sth, 1891, aged fifty yoars, eloven months and twouty-ono days. Robert was reared on tho farm till grown, and at tho call of President Lincoln for troops, he, with a number of young men of this neighborhood, enlisted for threo years in Company 4th Regiment, O.

V. and begau activo sorvico in eastorn Kentucky. In tho first year of tho sorvico ho was taken sick and taken to tho hospital when, upon being restored to health, ho was found to bo of such a turn of mind and heart as to bo over ready to render assistance to his invalid comrades, that ho was attached to the medical staff, which occupation ho pursued during tho war. This sorvico settled him in the lino of life in which ho has most admirably succeeded, that of a surgeon and physician. Dr.

Robinson was married twice. Ho was first married to Isabel J. Vandovort, April 15th, 1S66, with whom ho lived ton years and by whom ho had threo children, two of whom aro living and reside in this community, Joseph William, aged 23 years, and Gertrude, aged IS years. After the death of Isabel, which occurred March 12th, 1876, ho was again joined in marriage to Frances Derby, of Xouia, Indiana, September 17, 1879. By this union there woro four children born, two of whom are living, Beryl, aged ton years, and Fern, aged two years.

Immediately after tho marriago to his first wife he located in Indiana and entered upon the practice of medicino whore ho continued in activo sorvico forsovonteen years. Most of this timo he lived in tho thriving htil cit' of Aeula, in Miami county, ami hero addition to his profession ho beeamo editor and proprietor or that neat little sheet, Tho Xenia Gazette, which ho continued to issue until tho press and tho entire fixtures with the ofiico wore wholly consumed by fire, a great financial loss to him. Dr. Robinson, after his second marriage, believing that a chango of climate would bo more conducive to him and to his profession, determined on removal from Iudiana, and after an oxteusivo tour in the West, finally located in tho boautiful city of Prescott, then tho capital of Arizona Torritory. Here ho begau business in 182 and has over sinco mado it his home.

Tho doctor has 'been alllicted tho past two years with nervousness, superinduced by paralysis, which has culminated in softening of tho brain and death.

V. New Anlioch, Sept. 13, 1891. The Feinnle Convict Pardoned. On the 24th of Soptombor, Govor-nor Murphy porformed a very gracious and humane act, in conditionally pardoning Manuella FrinbreZj a female convict at the Territorial prison.

Tho woman has been an inmate of tho prison for tho past two years, and shortly after hor incarceration she gave birth to a child, who has sinco grown into a bright and intelligent boy. If left in his present condition until tho mother's release by expiration of term, tho boy would bo 12 year's old, and would havo boon thoroughly schooled in crime, which ho would havo learnod from association with convicis inside tho prison walls, aud as the mother would not undor any circumstances part with tho boy, tho Governor's solution of tho difficulty was the only ono. Tho woman has been sont, undor escort, by tho Superintendent of tho Territorial prison, to Tucson and Nogales, aud from there sho will bo led across tho lino by an officer, with the understanding that she uever again enter Arizona Torritory. She lias boon a very sorious sourco of trouble to tho prison authorities in tho past, as hor mental faculties aro of a very low order, and of common morality and decency sho knows nothing. Governor Murphy deserves tho thanks of tho people for his humane action in this case.

South Carolina hasnodivorcolaws and will not recognize tho laws on that subject of any othor state. In South Carolina, to bo once married is to stay married until it is time to call in tho undertaker. It is recorded that a South Carolinian not many years ago loft tho wife of his early manhood, and, removing to Florida, obtained a divorce, and at onco assumed second matrimonial responsibilities. Later ho returned to his native state to loarn from a South Carolina 'court that tho validity of his second marriage was not recognized in South Carolina, and that liis children by that marriago could not, at least i state, inherit his property.

The Constitutional Convention. Dennis, from the special probate court committee, reported a substi tuto, creating a probate court, opon always and held by an elective judge, with a two years' term. It shall havo jurisdiction in probato matters ana in tuo coiiecuuu ui tuxes uuu assessments. Tho legislature is authorized to confer common law jurisdiction up to $1,000 concurrently with tho district court, except in cases involving title to real estate, and may try mis-domoanors. This incroaso of power may bo created by general or special law.

Ap-poals sliall lio to the district cout and be tried thoro do novo, while tho judge is to get tho same salary as a district judge. Tho report was adopted by a voto of 16 to 4. Wilson moved to make the minimum salaries as follow Supremo judges, district judges, $3,600 per annum. Smith moved to amend by making thoso figures absolute and unchangeable. As to supreme judges tho motion was carried, ayes 14, nays 6.

Tho district judge salarv was fixed at $3,500 by a voto of 15 to 5. Tho state treasurer was doclared liable for perjury in wilfully swearing to false reports to tho governor. Making profits out of treasury funds was declared a felony. A stato board of equalization was proposed under section 8, to assess proporty of railroads ani other common carriors. Rowo moved to strike out tho section, as the board had worked badly heretofore.

Herring said it was bettor than separate county assessments, which difforcd in each county, creating great confusion and unjust discrimination. Rowo replied that all property should bo assessed alike. A board of stato secretary, auditor and treasurer would allow railroads to concentrate on thoir election and so control tho assessment of railroad property. Alexander moved a substitute for tho proposed board, consisting of the governor, auditor and treasurer of such board. Thoy are to equalize valuations among tho sovoral counties and perform othor duties required by law.

Tho supervisors aro also declared a board of equalization in each county. World's Fair Work. Tho united territories of Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho, Utah, and New Mexico will truly compose a Legion of Honor among tho oxhibits of tho sisterhood of states and territories. Thoy will erect together a magnificent structure embodying tho unique typos of that great domain in -winch they lie. Tho building, for which spaco was yesterday allotted and accepted, will stand on tho northern limits of tho park overlooking Lake Michigan, aud within easy access of all parts of tlio exposition.

Fivo great territories will bo housed in a tomplo patterned after tho cross of tho Legion of Honor. Thoro will bo a circular rotunda or gene ral assembly room, fifty leot in di ametor, surmounted by a glas3 domo 100 feet height. This will bo tho general assembly roulu or mart for all visitors of tho fair from tho boundless west. Radiating from this central pavil ion will oxtond hvo annexes each fifty foot in length, with elegant fa cades and towers in which each of tho quintet of United States novices will bo honored, and in which the special oxhibits of tho respective territories will bo placed. In tho second story of oach radiating point of tho cross will bo tho rooms of tho committees and commissinors from the various territories.

Alto gether tho building, in novelty aud adaptability to the purposes for which it is designed, will not bo surpassed by any stato building at tho exposition. The plans as given abovo were adopted by tho Territorial World's Fair association, of which Mrs. Bart-lottof Now Mexico is president and Miss Lorretta Lovoll of Arizona is secretary. Miss Lovoll, who is also a inombor of tho board of lady managers of tho world's fair, is in Chicago, and yesterday had a satisfac tory conference with tho directory in relation to tho site and tho plan of tho building. She has beon ably-assisted by Commissioner R.

M. White of Now Mexico, who stated yesterday that as all of the territories included in tho association had mado liberal appropriations, no doubt existed as to tno success of tho plans of tho association. An architect has been employod to detail tho general dosign, and work will bo commenced upon the build ing at an early date. It is bolieved that tho enthusiasm aroused by the joint arraugement will causo tho territories to mako increased appropriations. The building will bo a feature among tho stato buildings.

Fravors M. Higboe swears that certain men did feloniously and with forco of arms tako from him an old muskot ot shot-gun. Higboe, togothor with his brother, the late Judgo Higbee, issued one numbor of tho Nauvoo Expositor, at Nauvoo, which was declared a nuisance by Smith, and tho press and typo were destroyed. This act led to tho murdor of Joe Smith and his brother Hyrum. Francis Higbeo subsequently moved to Carthago, aud was activo in his opposition to Mormons.

Impelled by the great outcry against loquacious barbers, a St. Louis barber recently hired a deaf and dumb assistant. But tho aehomo didn't work.

"Though the man was an excellent workman," says the barber, "in less than a week he found his razor almost as inactive as his tongue.
