LENDING TO THE LoRD.-It has been re-
served for certain church in Nebraska to
devise the most novel and fantastic financial
scheme of the day. This congregation of
saints propose to combine the possibility of
profit with benevolence, after the fashion of
the rafting church fairs which are so much in
vogue in this part of the country, but they
have gone a step beyond the practice prevail
ing here and given the people a lesson in
fnanciering which should not be lost sight of.
To cancel the mortgage debt of the church,
non-interest bearing bonds in sums of $100
have been put upon the market, payable in
ten years, and as q means of securing rapid
subscriptions, two comparatively large prizes,
to be awarded by lot in the same fashion, are
offered, the one $4,000 United States bond,
and the other q bond of half that amount,
The inducement for the good Christians of
Nebraska to invest in these sanctimonious
securities is therefore the chance of getting
their money back with interest at the rather
steep rate of 2000 per cent, or 200 per cent.
per annum. The authors and advocates of
the various funding schemes now before Con-
gress should take lesson at the feet of the
Nebraska saints. Let them abandon all the
measures which have made such q muddle
and unite in pressing through Congress bill
providing for the refunding of the entire
national debt in non-interest bearing bonds
with the offer of a dozen or so of $1,000, 900
prizes as an offset to the deprivation of in
terest. In the present feverish and reckless
state of Wall street, such financial project
would doubtless find favor and success

criticism, and Pierre has brought himself
into such notoriety of late that the comments
of a portion of the press would be
apt to be more personal than
polite. The editors in the United States,
too are not in the habit of fighting duels, or
at least of sending challenges so that in case
of difficulty with some journalist on account
of uncomplimentary remarks on the subject
of his character or personal appearance, the
Prince would probably be forced to assume
the attitude of an aggressor in personal en-
counter, and if he should show himself as
ready with his pistol as he was in Victor
Noirs case, any average American jury would
find him guilty without hesitation, no matter
what his provocation might have been, if
only for the sake of the novel sensation to be
produced by the hanging of a prince. Per-
haps the Emperor, with his customary astute-
ness, foresees some such consummation as
this, which makes him desirous of shipping
his cousin Pierre off to America as soon as
possible.

PRINCE PIERRE BONAPARTE

The Paris journals announce that the Empe-
ror of the French has requested Prince Pierre
Bonaparte to leave the country, and that, to
oblige his Imperial cousin, Pierre proposes
to visit America. There is no doubt that the
Emperor is exceedingly anxious to get rid of
Pierre as soon as possible, and that the fur
ther he removes himself from France the bet
ter his relatives at the Tuileries will appre-
ciate him. The shooting of Red Republi-
can journalist by member of his family was
an awkward thing for the Emperor, who, in
addition to the unpopularity to himself that
must result from such an action, was reduced
to the unpleasant extremity of either sending
near, if not dear relative to the guillo-
tine, or else securing his acquittal
by a packed jury. He chose the
latter alternative, and now he tells Pierre
that he has already given too much annoy
ance to his relatives, and that the sooner he
leaves the better. 1t is probable, too, that
the Emperor has some regard for Pierre'S
safety, as threats have been made that Victor
Noirs death shall be avenged; for, although
the speedy taking off of Pierre would not
cause any great grief in the breast of the
Emperor, it would be an unpleasant thing to
be obliged to hunt down and punish his
assassin. We are sorry for his own sake that
the Prince is coming to this country, as this
is not a pleasant place for public men who
are sensitive on the subject of newspaper

crushed beneath the wheels of the en-

the wheels would not take hold. But
by dint of the Hotel train pushing be-
hind, and men on the cowcatcher, hold
ing brooms on the rails in front, the
cars got along and soon left the grass

And now, though the grasshoppers

Encounter with a Mad Dog.

The Detroit Free Press describes
a startling encounter with mad dog
which happened last Sunday to man
named Peter Demery, who lives on
the outskirts Of Detroit. 1t appears
that Demery is laid up with sore
foot, having run spike thro' it about
two months ago. On the day named
his wife and boy went out to visit
some friends, leaving him lying on the
bed in the only room which the house
contains. The family wned large
dog, which about an hour after the
wife and son had left, walked in at
the open door and stood in the cen
tire of the room, uttering a growing,
wheeling sort Of noise, his eyes shi-
ming, and the hair on his back bri8t,
ling up straight. Demery spoke sharp
ly to the animal, who skunk under
the bed keeping up bowling as if in
pain. A sudden breeze coming up,
the door was slammed to and the
man and dog were shut up together.
After a while the animal began run
ming around the room, his eyes blood
shot, saliva flowing from his mouth,
and his jaws constantly 8Eapping.-
Round he went, throwing over chairs,
and swapping at the window curtain
at every turn. Demery yelled sharp
Iy at the brute, bidding him lie down !;
but instead Of obeying he gave a howl
and sprang at his master, who, with
crutch in hand, was about to hobble
to the door and open it. With the
crutch Demery hoored the dog, and
the animal on recovering, resumed
his race around the room, looking
more wild than ever. 1t was now
time for Mrs. Demery and her son to
return, and it occurred to the husband
that if they should open the door, the
dog would bite one or both of them
He therefore bravely determined to
make the brute attack him if he could.
He yelled at the dog, which stopped
running and then sprang a. the bed,
when q blow from the crutch sent him
rolling over. Three times this was
repeated, and on the fourth time he
was stunned by the blow. An ak fin
ished him, and when the woman and
her boy returned the animal was
buried.

it in some respects, one distinctive
difference being in the length of tail,
that of the pisote being more than as
long again as the raccoons; the ounce
and numerous kinds of wild and Loop
ard cats; monkeys in variety; bah
oons, &c. Snakes are very scarce,
some pretty large ones, however. The
tales written about the boaconstrictor
lighting upon its prey from some IN
known lurking place, or springlng up
on man or beast from the limbs of
those large trees in the forest, is all
bosh, a boaconstrictor will not travel
a quarter of a mile in day, are a
very slow motioned animal, and catch
their prey by fascination, and the ma
tives go two together in the woods
where they are known to be, and as
the snake can only fascinate one at a
time, the other rescues his companion
by passing between him and the snake
which liberates the victim. The ma
tives have no fear of those large
snakes as they 60 up to and cut off the
heads of the largest. There are few
poisonous snakes, none, however, worse
than ours, and no where so numerous
as here. They have a curiosity in the
way of a snake which has head on
each end, travelling with as much ia
cility one way as the other, and is
poisonous, but not plentiful or active.

AN ALMOST INCREDIBLE STATEMENT
a partially Drolcncd Man Robbed
and IHro7rn Back into the Uatcr to
Perish. The following statement
revealing a diabolism Of crime almost
unknown to its annaIs-i8 from the
Portland Argus:
There would seem to be little
doubt but thai a most shocking crime
was perpetrated in connection with
the sail boat disaster in our harbor
last Monday, by which three men lost
their lives. One of the victims, Mr..
Rogers of Boston, was known to have
on his person quite a large sum Of
money, a gold watch, valuable pin, d5c.
He was found floating on the surface
soon after the accident by q boy in o
wnerry. OF course the lad could not
raise him into his frail craft, but he
attached a rope to the body and tow
ed it to the shore. None of the prop
erty was found upon the person. 1t
is said that when the boy found him
there were signs Of life-that though
the head was under the water the
hands were still padding convulsive-
ly, and this is strengthened from the
fact that the man was at the surface.
But it appears that Just after the
accident one Of the victims, supposed
to be Rogers, as he was a good swim
mer, was seen to be sustaining him
self; a schooner in the vicinity hove
to, and a boat containing two men
put off it reached the man in the wa
ter, and he was partially raised and
sustained for some little time and
was then dropped back into the wa
ter and the boat returned to the
schooner, which sailed away. This
latter part Of it was witnessed by the
boy in the wherry, who got the body
to the shore, ana the whole thing was
i seen by parties IN boat not far away.
From these premises the unayoida-
Die deduction is that Mr.. Rogers was
picked up in a half drowned condi
ton, robbed and thrust back into the
water again. 1t seems too horrible
for belief, but such terrible crimes arc
almost daily recorded that there ap
pears to be almost no limit to the de
pravity Of humanity.
We further learn. that the affair !.
being thoroughly investigated, ant
that officers are upon the track of the
vessel, which is known. If such {
terrible crime was enacted, all gooG
men will pray that the fends may be
brought to speedy and condign pun
ishment."
