Sublime on the RidicdIons.s

At Tammany Hall ono night Mike
Walsh had the good fortune to see his
candidate for sachem elected over an OPP
poncnt whom he did not like, yhereupon
he arose and roared aloft as follows. Lou.
is Gaylord Clark reports it.
"When the temple Of Minerva, at Ath-
ems. in Greece, was near its completion"
said he, "the chief sculptors of that clas-
sic land were notified by proposals from
the authorities, that on certain day, .
year aftcrward, each of the artists was ex-
pected to have on the ground marble
statue of the goddess to whom the world
renowned temple was dedicated, to crown
the apex Of the lofty edifcc.
"The day cafne--a day such as the
skies Of Greece alone could show. Ofthe
statues which appeared in the front of
the temple, one was of such exquisite
proportions and beautiful finish that it
was hailed with loud ordinations Of ap-
plause By all who looked upon it; while
a second, apparently incomplete, so rough
and unseemly was its surface and SO un-
gainly It's proportions, was received with
Kisses and other obstreperous tokens Of
disapprobation, and wheeled aside With
contempt"
Meantime, the raising apparatus was
attached to the beautiful figure of the
goddess; and as it gradually rose to lev
ell with the heads of the assembled popu-
lace, admiration Of its perfect loveiiness
found vent in applause still louder and
more vehement than when it first reach
led the consecrated ground. Bnt as it rose
higher and higher, it began to diminish
in size, and dwindle in proportion and
beauty, until it looked more like mar
Bile doll than statue of the great Min
erya."
"Take it down. shouted the crowd,
who not ten minutes before had been so
enthusiastically sounding its praises
Take it down! It's an infant goddess =
And down it came at length, and was
hustled out Of sight"
/ Here Mike took drink of water from
tumbler before him; and with flashing
eyes, disteDded nostrils, and his whole
countenance and manner beaoing with
earnestness and solemnity, continued:
"Aud now" said Mike, some thought
ful and confederate Grscian called ont:
Raise the other-the other statueg
Forthwith the spirit of the whole as
Isemblage changed, and the discarded fig
ure so sneered at and condemned few
moments before, was soon elevated above
their heads, and slowly ascending toward
the top of the temple. AS it rose higher
and higher, that which on the ground
seemed. rough, unhewn and uncomelv,
melted into lines OF grace and beauty
and when it was lowered upon its pedes.

How TO Mark AND SHEAR SHEEP,

How TO MARK AND SHEAR SHEEp.-
The Alta has an article upon the treat
ment Of wool, and shearing sheep which
contains some useful suggestions, in adj
dition to what has already been given in
the ENTERPRISE. We quote: "Certain
farmers having wrong idea Of the In
fluence Of the condition of their
woods in regard to prices, we annex
ia little calculation, showing the actu-
al relative value Of prices and condition;

that a factory paying 22c. for clean woods.
cannot pay over he. for heavy wooIs Of
the same quality. The farmer, therefore,
ought TO take the best care Of his wool

plants are made this year by the factories

been tarrcd For instance, a farmer has

tory, all the tarred ends have TO be clip
ped By hand, causing great expense and
loss to the manufacturers. BURY wool can
sometimes be cleaned By machinery, but
tar cannot be removed III this manner
Another serious complaint, and one
which must be avoided. is shearing sheep
twice over at the game shearing. or reclip-
ping where the shearer has already passed
over. Thig wool, so clipped over is great
detrimcnt IN manufacturing, and all wool.
in which these clippings, or friJs, as they
are called, are found are Of much les
value to manufacturers. Another very
serious complaint is made about the short
ness of the staples of certain clips. Some
farmers have shorn late last fall, and had
TO shear early this spring before the
alfarillo and clover burrs ripcn. The
result is that the staple Of their WOO
does not exceed / or I Of an inch, and ii
unfit for manufacturing purposes. i
the wool raisers have to shear in the fal

provide proper means so as to allow a
least eight months growth for the gooe
condition of the spring clip"

SHOOTING ArFAIg.--On Tuesday last,
our quiet little town was thrown into con.
siderable excitement by the firing of pis-
tolls, the particulars of which. Us near as
we are able to learn, are rs follows: Dep
uty Sheriff Turk, of Grant County, came
to town in search of one Micheal Malony,
charged with having stolen government
mule. Mr. Turk, not finding his man
here on his arrival aud being worn out
with excessive. fatigue. placed the war
rant in Judge Calloway's charge and went
to bed. The warrant was then placed in
the handspf Deputy Schultz who searched
the town but was unable TO find the man
In the afternoon Marshal Keeler found
an individual in the polka saloon engaged
in game of cards, who, from the descrip-
ton given by the warrant, he supposed
to be the man charged with stealing of
the mule. lie Immediately arrested him,
and was taking him towards the Jail, and
when little beyond Elfelt's corner, he
wanted to knaw by what authority he was
arrested, refusing to go until he saw the
warrant for his arrest, ut the same time
drawing six shooter and telling the
Marshal to stand back; which he was
compelled to do not being armed. Mar.
shall Keeler Immediately sent for Deputy
Sheriff Schultz, who arrived on the ground
in few minutes, warrant in hand, whict
he proceeded to read to Mallory, at the
same time walking up in front of him un.
til Mallory raising his pistol ordered hin
to keep off or he would shoot Previous
to this, Marshal Keller, obtained small
pocket pistol and fred at Mallory bu
missed him. Malony then ran up the
alley in the rear of the Mt. Hood Saloon
making for a horse that was hitched t.
the fence, butin his hurry frightened th'
animal and it broke loose and ran away
Deputy Sheriff S hutz went to the ofic,
for his six shooter and returned to th,
fight just as Mallory had reached the cor
ner near French Il Gilman's. when the.
commenced firing at each other in earn
est. The first shot fred by Schultz, strucl

walking Horses.

The best gait horse ever had for ev-
cry day use Is good walk. It is gait
that not one in ten possesses. Colts are
not trained to walk ia all the Eastern
States. Young America wants more
speed. Kentucky has more good walk
ing horses than any other State, horse
back travelling has long been in fashion
for men and women over country where
muddy roads, at some seasons, rendered
any other gait impossible, and so horses
have been bred for the saddle and train
ed 10 walking gait. This is also the
case in ali the Western States. and per.
haps might have been so in New Eng.
land, when our grandmothers rode tc
meeting on a pillion behind our grand
fathers But one horse Wagons have
put horseback riding out of fashion, anc
now good walking horse is more rare
than one that can trot mile in 2 40
AT the Springfield Mass. Horse
Show OF 1860, the writer was one of tn,
committee to award prizes TO the tw,
best walking horses. Out of seventeen
entered, the committee found but on,
which was considered frst-rate walker
This was a Morrill, mare, which wake,
FIVE miles an hour with ease Twoother
were fair walkers, aud the others knew n,
gait that could be called walking. 4
the New York State Fair the same stat
of facts was again developed.
A letter from Wisconsin says:
II think horses trained to walk fast woul,
be greater benefit to farmers in genera
than fast trotters, as almost all of his worl
has to be done with a walk. I once kne,
man in Massachusetts, who, before th
raafoads were built, kept from two t
four teams to work on the road, and new
er allowed them to trot at all, and mad
the distance in quicker time than hi
neighDors, who made their horses trot O
every convenient place. He said tina
when horse commenced to walk after
trot, he walked much slower than hi
common gait if kept on walk, and there
by lost more than he gained" Will farm
ers think of this, and pay more after
ton to walking horses ?-[Solon Robin

effervescing water gushes up. If tightly
bottled at the spring, it will burst any

JOhHsOu,s Conspiracy.

For years the Democratic journals
have Been trying to plunge the coun-
try into the horrors of a war of races by
frightful stories of conspiracies of the
blacks to rise in instruction. Any
lull in these accusations was only
a slight rest, TO begin again with new
force. The country is favored with a
fresh outburst now. There are fearful
imaginings of conspiracies Of the blacks
throughout all the Southern States 70

ther test the public credulity by charg-
ing the Republican National Commit
tee with sending persons to form
leagues among the blacks, and with
furnishing them arms.
These groundless accusations exhibit
a design to raise an alarm that shall re-
suit in a reign of terror and in the
slaughter of the blacks. They are now
revived 10 cover the purpose of the
Acting President to bring on q collision

acy is in the Executive. What have

They are said to have the political
power in the Southern States; what
should they rise against VIII they

Terrific Explosion.

PITrsBURG, November S.-0ne of the
most terrific and fatal calamities that
has befell our community for a long
time occurred here to-day. Abou: half
past eleven o'clock this morning the
citizens of the Ninth Ward were star
tied by a loud report as of an explosion,
and upon visiting the place from
whence the sound came, we learned
that a portion of the mill building of
Reese, Croft & Dull was blown into
atoms, and about twenty persons were
killed, and as many wounded. 1t was
ascertained that the explosion occurred
in the forge portion of the mill, and to
add TO this terrible accident the build
ing had caught fire and vas in flames.
The cause of the explosion will proba-
bly, never be known, as the engineer
and fireman were the only ones who
could have given any information, and
they we're instantly killed. The loss
will probably reach $4,000.

The Elections.

The November elections have result
ed in divided successes to the parties,
some giving Republican and others
Democratic majerities. New York has
been carried by the Democrats by a
large msjority-about $1,000. The city
of New York alone gave them above
that majority. Where corruption and
Tilliany of all shapes and dyes prevail
TO the greatest extent Democracy
thnYes best. New York city is the
Babylon of America and the head
quarters of Copperhesd Democracy
They are one and insepsrable, like a
skunk and its stencil. The Legisla-
ture of that State, as reported, stands
Senate four Republican majority
House-eight Cop. msjorlty-giving
the latter four majority on joint ballot.
New Jersey gives the Democrats
$4,000 majority on State Ticket, and
probably a majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature.
Bullock, Republican, is elected Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,, by 10000 ma
iority. The Republicans have q msjor-
ity in both branches ofthe Legislature,
but the license law advocates have a
majority. Wisconsin is all over Re-
publican, as are also Minnesota and
Kansas. The proposed Amendment to
the State Constitution of Kansas, en-
franehising women and blacks was de-
feated. The Democrats carried Mary
land, where all returned rebels are Vo-
tiers.
