The suggestion Of Live Stock Market was
made sometime since through the columns o.

taken no interest in it. and the profits to be reap
ed from it, will likely be engaged by those no
living with u.s. Since our first suggestion, step
have been taken in ockoridge to establish
similar enterprise. Now comes Mr.. Easton whs
has taken hold of the matter in earnest. We hope
he will succeed, and we will do all we can to as

IT,
Oyerweening Confidence.

Childlike confidence is good enough
thing occasionally, but it can be cultivated
too extensively. There, for instance. was
Polonius Hyde. In his youth he had read
that wild animal can be scared off simply
by opening your umbrella suddenly in its
face So when Polonius was in India he
thought he would just take stroll through
the jungle and see how the arrangement
would work Armed with green ging
ham umbrella he prowled around for a
-while, until he saw Bengal tiger slowly
creeping up to him, with the evident in
tention of lunching off his remains. Ro-
lonius got his umbrella in position, with
his thumb on the spring all ready to slam
her open. The tiger kept circling round
and round, nearer and nearer, At last the
animal crouched for spring, and Polo
MUS filing his green bingham to the breeze.
About three weeks afterward an advertise
ment offering a reward for missing man
named Polonius Hyde. having appeared
in the paper, Bengal tiger was found
dead upon the steps of the publication
office next morning. A post mortem ex-
animation disclosed the fact that his
stomach contained handful Of red hair
the same shade as Hyde's, a deck of cards,
eighteen bone buttons a suspender buckle,
six toe-nails, and green gingham UNI
brella with the initials T. IL. engraved on
the handle In Bengal Mr.. Hyde's
experiment is not regarded as an entire
success

IS Some experiments have been made in
the grounds attached to the School of st.
Reny, France, as to the useful qualities of
the common mole A mole was placed in
a shrubbery, and in four days he ate 43s
wornils and go grubs. Another mole in
twelve days ate $40 grubs and S72 .wornils.
Vegetable matter, such as was believed to
be his usual food, was, placed before him,
but he never touched it except to make his
bed upon it. 1t thus seems that the dev.
astations In the soil committed by the
mole are more than countertalanced by the
destruction of noxious insects.

"A late number of the Commercial Ad-
sertiser of Honolulu relates the fact that
one Of the whale ships in that harbor re-
Gently captured whale in the Attic seas,
which had in its carcass harpoon. This
harpoon was known to belong to a ship
which was at that time cruising in the
Northern seas, on the other side Of the con-
tinent. The whale had evidently passed
from one open sea TO the other by way of
the pole. He must have found open water,
for even a whale must come up at short in
tervals to blow. 1t Is certain that the
Polar Sea is navigable for whales from one
side of the continent to the other. But
while ii does not follow that ships would
follow the same track, the fact cited is one
of considerable interest Shipmasters may
be able to navigate the Polar Sea when
they know as much about navigation in the
high ATTITUDES as this whale with har-
poon sticking in his back. nta ,3

Steamboat and Cargo Sunk.

Brief mention has already been made of
the loss of the Ida Rees, but additional
particulars are given in the subjoined dis
patch to the st. Louis Republican:
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 24-The steamer
Ida Rees No. 2, one of the Northwestern
Transportation Company's line, struck a
sand bar and sunk near the mouth of White
river, about twelve o'clock ON the night of
the twentieth instant. She SPARED off, and
in backing out struck her stern against an
other bar, unshipping her rldder. when she
became manageable. and in a few mo-
ments broke in two and went down in eight
feet of water. She had on board 2O8 tons of
government and private freight, and fifty
five passengers. The boat and cargo were
total loss. The Z. II. Durfee arrived at
the scene of the disaster at ten o'clock next
day, and took away the passengers. No
lives were lost. The boat was originally a
small craft plying on the Allegheny river,
but had been rebuilt, and was one of the
best and fastest boats on the upper Mis-
souri,. She was valued at $4,000, and in
sured for $4,000. The value of her cargo
is estimated at 100000; full amount of in
surance not known. Weare & Allison, of
this city, had $4,000 insurance on the
Indian goods in the following companies:
Security, of New York; State, of Hannibal
Merchants, of Chicago. and Fire
and Marine, of st. Paul.

COIored Cadet from AIabama.

from the Selma Times
We announce to the world and the
balance of mankind that our negro boy.
our pet waiting boy, John NJ Gee, is ap-
pointed as cadet from the first congress
sional district of this State to the military
academy at West Point 1t is even so.
Hon. B. +. Turner, negro member of Con-
gress from this district, called on us and
advised us of the appointment. Turner is
negro of fine intelligence. of good char
acter, and is respected as an honest man
by the entire community. As slave he
conducted himself in such manner as to
win the regard of the entire white people;
and since he has been free, his old friends
have stood by him. Turner was owned by
DIR. Gee, the gentleman to whom the en-
bryo West Point cadet belonged, and
knows John well. John has been in our
office, as waiting boy, for over year.
He writes well, and has natural capacity
enough to qualify himself, and we have no
doubt that he will pass muster He is a
mulatto, about five feet eight inches in
height, and has very many friends here
among the white people, for he has con-
Quoted himself well, and he is strictly
honest. We have no doubt that he will
reflect great credit upon the radical party.
