DooIittlc and the Connat1y Amdny,,..

MILWAUKEE, Aug. s0.-The Daily News to-
morrow will contain q letter from Ex-senator
Doolittle contuting the allegations of the Con-
natty affidavit, in which the senator is charged
with extracting money for his influence while
member of the senate Doolttle pronounces
every statement relating to he exercise of his
personal or official influence in obtaining the
permit for Connatty false. Doolittle further
says: "A telegram from Washington informs
me that there were no papers nor recommend
atoms on file for any one. The record shows
that did not ask for permit in writing, and
the only way in which l could have aided him
would have been by personal interview
with the present secretary Of the treasury
which interview never had. The only papers
ever drawn by me in relation to any matter be
tween us were drawn in his presence, at his
suggestion, with his full consent and approval,
upon mutual understanding that such papers
were simply private and confidential memoran-
DUN, to be preserved for private use by the

sation, which occurred eight years ago, but
know there was not one word said or the pur-
pose entertained which if known to the whole
world would stain my honor as a senator or a
man.

Scientific Aids to Swimming.

A French inventor has patented an
apparatus for swimmers. For the hands
he has large rlembranous fin, which
is held in its place by loops passing over
the fingers and strap around the wrist.
The surface presented to the water by
these fins is so large as to add greatly
to the effectiveness of the strokes of
the arm, but not so large as to exhaust
the muscular power. Their effect is to
reduce very much the effort required
to swim without them. But the great
est ingenuity is displayed in the form
and fitness of the fins for the legs, which
are attached to the ankles, and 50 form
ed that they act upon the water, both
in the movement of bringing the legs
together and throwing them back.
They act finely in " treading water" as
swimmers call it. that one can really
walk, if not on the water, at least in it.
The difference between swimming with
this apparatus and without it, is very
much like the difference between row
ing boat with handle and the blade
of an oar. The swimmer has no trouble
| lie in using the fins at first trial, and /:
surprised to find with what ease he car
swim without exhaustion. He easily
swims twice as far with the apparatu
as without it, and he can sustain him
self for hours upon the water, or swim
| miles with it.

Taking Up a Collection.

By squall in the Delaware Bay last
week, while sailing in yacht, two young
men were overtaken. Al Nazareth Meth
odist church, on Twelfth street, Phila-
delphia, they had occasionally been
present. From the way things looked,
the capsizing of their shallop was very
near inevitable. Z" Bill" one said to the
other, "this is serious business can
you pray ?" "No, l can't; I've heard
Joe Quinn do it, and I've listened to
Bill Post, but l can't do it myself"
Well, you can sing hymn, can't you ?
For Gods sake do something" i" No,
can't sing here. How can l sing when
this boat may at any moment drown us
both ?' Well, we must do something
religious. If you can't pray and can't
sing, let's take up collection" To
this Bill consented. In his companion
hat he deposited thirteen pennies, a
corkscrew and broken bladed knife.
AS he did this the wind lulled and the
shallop made a successful landing.

A Washington sensation.

The broken fragments of the "fash-
ionable circle" remaining in Washing
ton have been treated to real sensa-
ton. The name of the lady who assist
ed in furnishing the exciting gossip is
withheld from the public, but the gen
tleman's is given as Capt. Buckley, of
Natick, Mass. Miss is lady of
about IS, very pretty, wealthy and fash
ionable, and after short acquaintance
with Capt. Buckley became engas ed to
him. The wedding day was fixed. the
evening and the guests came, but the
bridegroom did not. A carriage was
sent to his hotel, and returned with the
news that he had left the city and
whittier he had gone no one could tell.
No clue is given to his sudden disap-
pearance further than he had heard that
his fancee was penniless, and he had
supposed her to have $4,000.

The advantages of newspapers are
every day developed, and new and be-
fore unsupported uses for them are dis
covered. Witness what befell gentle
man and his wife recently in the Holy
Land. While they were travelling to-
ward Jerusalem they were beset by ban
dts and robbed not only of their money
and baggage, but even of the clothes in
which they were standing, or rather
kneeling for mercy. What were they to
do? If they had been going to the
Garden of Eden it would have been
we'll enough but how were they to en-
ter the ancient City of the Lord in a
state of primitive nudity? In this
horrible emergency they begged back
from the plunderers copy of the Lon
don Times. Was there ever such luck
before? For they received not only the
usual copy of the great journal, but itso
happened that there was a supplement-
which was just the thing for the lady

Slaughter of the Buffalo.

Few persons probably know how rap
idly the American bison is disappearing
from the Western plains. At one time
it was said that they were to be found
everywhere west of Lake Champlain
and the Hudson river, but for many
years they have been extinct east of the
Mississippi river. The work of de-
struction, however, appears to go on
more bravely IN proportion as they are
driven into narrow and narrower limits,
and it is not unlikely that the tate of
the European bison, which once abound
ed in the woody wilderness of Germany,
northern Gaul, and neighboring parts
of the Continent, but which is now to
be found alone and rarely in the forests
of Lithuania, will soon be theirs. Some
idea of the extent of this ruthless
slaughter may be formed from the fact
that $4,000 bison were killed during
the month of May, south of the Kansas
Pacific railroad, for the sake of their
hides alone, which are sold at the paltry
price of two dollars each on delivery
for shipment to the Eastern markets.
Add to this 5000 small estimate
shot by tourists and killed by Indians
to supply meat to the people on the
frontier, and we have sum total Of
10000 as the victims for single month
If the bison were wild and savage ami
malt to kill one required any espe
cial skill or bravery or nerve, there
might be some justification for this
enormous slaughter. But the fact il
! that the bison is an exceedingly mild
| dispositioped animal. His looks indi
