Look QUIZ for Him,

scamp, who needs only to be caught
aud brought TO Terre Haute. to be sent 10
the Penitenliary, left this city very abrupt.
ly on Sunday night. He gave bis name as
Crawford, and Genessee, New York, his
native place. He appears to be about 40
years of age, rather short in stature and
thickly set slightly stoOP shOuldered,
black beard family tinged with grey, but
in such places around his neck as might
be concealed, should he be found suspen.
ded by rigid justice between Heaven and
earth. He protested to be a printer, but
only exemplifed his profession in this
place by rObbing a printer, a meanness
whish every intelligent person knows Ian
guage is inadequate to express. Having
shed his rags here and put on his stolen
clothes, he may be found with black
cloth frock coat. probably too large foE
him, black cloth vest, and a good shirt
that was much whittier on Sunday than the
one he had on. His hat may be shabby,
as his effort to steal better one in another
part of the city. resulted in his getting 9
scratch down the forehead and nose that
will mark him plainly for several days
His constant want Of whisky obliges him
to obain it, to appropriate such articles as
may be lying round loose or under loci
and key. He is rather noisy, except wher
robbing your house, when his step is cat
like and his actions quiet as night.

ANIMAL FooD. DIR. Hreys, in his
"Arctic Boat Journey" reports that
the Esquimaux live upon an exclusive
ly animal diet, their daily allowance of
food being from twelve to fifteen
pounds, about one third being fat
The Doctor states that he has seen an
Esquimaux eat fully ten pounds of
walrus flesh, and blubber at a single
meal, after hunt, or when about to
begin difficult journey. This large
consumption of hearty food is great
shield against cold. White men in
Arctic regions are continually craving
a strong animal diet, and will drink the
contents of an oil kettle with evident
relish. A choice esquimaux lunch
consists of raw birds washed. down with
oil, and the great luxury of the tribe is
soup made by boiling together blood,
oil and seal meat.

she thought would be acceptable to the U
States. by yielding our right TO the Island

other portions Of her Majesiy's territory
which VIC do not claim. but which are
worthless. was replied TO. and positively
declined.
Mr.. Branch will oppose the organisation
of new territories, and moved an amend.
ment to the Utah bill. giving the President
Of the United States power to appoint ter
ritOrial legislatures. as was the custom
prior to 1896. This will cut up all the
difficulties by the root. II the new terrific
ries should be organized, elections for
Delegates will be ordered. Delegates elec-
ted prior to the existence of the territories
could not retain seats in G sress.

SPEAKING of the decline of Mr..
Douglas influence in the Senate, the
Chicago Press and Tribune says:
"Quite recently Mr.. Douglas made
an effort to secure the clerkship of the
Hsrper's Ferry investigating Commit
tee for his reporter, Sheridan. the same
who accompanied him in his last Hi
nois campaign. Mr.. Sheridan is a
good photographer, and, we doubt moi
otherwise qualified for the place
Douglas labOred personally with each
member of the committee in his be.
half, and the result was that Mr.. Sher.
idan did not get single vote. The
committee elected Mr.. Murphy, one Of
the Globe reporters, who had never
applied for the place."
