OF TuE-
Independent Party.

|. We hold that when a corporation or
other aggregation Of capital attempts to step
out OF the sphere of the legitimate business
for which it was originated and interfere in
the politics of the country. that moment it
becomes the most dangerous element known
in modcr" governmental affairs. and should
be sternly resisted by every citizen who de-
sires the perpctuation o. American institu-
tions.
>. That the oppression Of and ,liscrimipa-
tion against the people of the State of Neva-
da by foreign corporation styled the Central
Pacific Raili Dad, OF California, is of such a
nature that no people having in any sense
the sliri of frcemen can longer aui etly sub
nit thereto: that its expressions and dis
examinations Chi fly consist in its refusal to
shp ard deliver directly to stations in our
State merchandise purchased in Eastern
markets by our merchants and citizens, and
in compelling them to ship their merchandise
thus purchased to San francisco or Sncra-
mento and pay large additional frcights ther.-

the general business of our State degraded,

BILE tragedy; and my companions and
myself, all armed with revolvers. felt
heartily glad to have been spared the
awful probability of becoming his execu-
TONERS.
The corpse was soon identified as that
Of a Malay sailor, who had been known
to be subject to occasional fits of insani-
ty, or rather uncomfortable fits of frenzy.
for few Of these fellows who indulge in
running muck (by no means very rare
occurrence in certain parts Of the Orient.
especially in India and the Malay
islands) can be pronounced absolutely
insane Just previous to these freaks
they usually shave off every hair on their
bodies, and thoroughly oil or grease their
persons from head TO foot; they then
start on their errand of destruction
armed only with a knife or dagger. and
in state of perfect nudity, in order to
render their seizure all but an imDosSi-
bility Running at the top OF their speed
they stab at every living creature. man
or animal within their reach; but rarely,
If ever, stab the same victim more than
once. They usually run straight ahead
never turning back or round abruDt cor
ners, nor running into houses; nor will
they stop until strangled BY running
moose thrown over their heads. or until
they are stunned, mortally wounded, or
killed outright
Running a muck by Orientals is attrib-
utable to various causes, as, for instance,
to the consumption Of opium, hasheesh
Qndian hemp, etc, to religious frenzy.
to a thirst for revenge, or to acute men
tai and bodily suffering of some descrip-
ton
The casualties of the tragedy Just de-
scribed amounted to FIVE persons killed
outright and about twenty others more
or less seriously wounded. Shortly after
the death of the desperate, and the re
moyal of the killed and wounded, the
locality gradually reassumed its Gus
tomary appearance, our fugitive ham
mails again appeared, and we returned to
the steamer in safety.-Scr56ners for Sep

as he spoke he held out the pool card
which he had received.
Receipt exclaimed the driver with
grin. That's no receipt-that's a
pool ticket. You bought the mare as
first choice-that is, you bet 5000 agin
the balance of the pool that she would
win the race, and you'll win the money.
too, old man, if you hold on to the ticket.
But as for buving the mare for $500
WHY. bless YOUR innocent soul, that sum
wouldn't buy hair out Of her tall Whv.
500, 900 in gold wouldn't buy this
beauty"
Mr. ROdman was very angry. He sup
posed the driver to be either a swindler
or a trifer, and with flashing eyes he said ::
You can't come any of your CITY
tricks over me. I've heard all about Won
fellows down here, and if you expect TO
humbug me as you have others you'll
miss your calculation. Do YOU hear
me?" And Selling the mare by the
bride he cried out vociferously for the
police.
By this time a crowd had gathered
around who seemed to enjoy the Joke
hugely, and some Of whom encouraged
Mr. Rodman to persist in his claim.
Hold on to the mare, old man" cried
one" she's your property. I saw YOU
buv her and pay for her. He's irving to
beat you That's the way he does bust
ness. Don't let him Swindle YOU! Hang
on to the mare"
''That's just what intend to do" said
Mr. Rodman at the same time taking a
tighter hold of the reins.
But Just here a policeman interfered
and commanded Mr.. Rodman to let 90
the horses head, trying at the same time
to explain to him the nature of the pool
selling, and assuring him it was all right.
Mr. Rodm&n could not see it, but he
was forced to let the mare go, and then
he made his way back to the pool-stand,
where he presented his ticket and de-
manded the return Of his 5000.
1t is needless to say that a number
stood ready to take the ticket off his
hands, and having received his 5000
back Mr. Rodman took his departure.
He would not stay to witness the trot
even, but left at once, thoroughly dis
gusted and stigmatizing the entire crowd
as lot of swindlers. He made his wav
home safely, related his story to his
neighbors in tones of deep indignation,
and to this day imagines that he bought
Goldsmith Maid for 5000, and that he was
uniustly swindled out of his bargain

Fall BOnnetS.

FALL bonnets are large, with tlaring
fronts, not coronets, but with the front
Of the bonnet turned upward and out
ward There are both stiff and soft
crowns in these combinations of velvet
and grOs-gTain. The new shapes come
sufficiently far forward and extend back
ward, being made with reference to the
new low couture that has very little on
top of the head and long loose loop be-
hind, called the CatOgan loop, tied up be-
hind in the way horses tails are often
seen! There is still much face trimming
in the way of ruChes of tulle or lisse and
twists of ribbon. Outside trimmings are
massed in the front and down the middle
of the crown. Partisan ladies wear com
pact bonnets without any drapery, but
some imported bonnets have ribbon
streamers behind and wide strings
of silk. More colored bonnets are
brought out than usual, as the white chip
bonnets of summer will be abandoned
early in September, and ladies will want
a cOlored hat before putting on the black
velvet of midwinter. The refined choice
lies among such colors as seal-skin brown
with reddish cast, dark steel, dark gray,
and marine blue. Experienced milliners
have little faith in any new shades this
season.
Flowers are massed in clusters in the
front, and have branches passing down
the middle of the crown. Roses prevail,
as they always do. The dark red Japan
csc rose, with its t1uted petals, is the nov
city; there are also many pale pink roses
and dark crimson ones, though but very
few tea-roses. Those Colored Japanese
leaves which florists now cultivate in odd
gray shades, and dark reddish-maroon
tints, are the fashionable wleathG and
half-wreaths for face trimming.
Birds, above everything else, are used
on stylish Partisan hats. The whole bird,
with even its feet perfect, is perched on
the side of the hat, or appears to be
flying down its front Black birds, with
red-tipped wings and red breast, are evil
IDENTIFY most popular The taXidermist's
aid has been called in to designate the
starting, the lophophore, and the maroon
tanager, which are found among fash
ionable millinery. There are also many
humming- birds; some with sapphire,
some with emerald, and others with
topaz Threats. Two tiny "hummers,
with their long bills and spread wings,
nestle in the diadem wreaths of gray
leaves. Sometimes half a dozen sharp,
slender wings are stuck IN a single
wreath.-Harper'S Bdzar.

An Icelandic Demonstration.

MURAT HLSTED, writing from Iceland
to the Cincinnati Commercial Of the
demonstration to the King at Thingvalla,
says:
There were white tents glistening by
the river-fags on the hills-herds of
ponies grazing, and dark mass where
the tents and flags were thickest, that
turned out to be popular assemblage.
As the King (whO led the caravan, while
the Americans brought up the rear drew
near 1t was observed that the loyal Ice
landerS had formed on both sides of the
road, and that he had received an address
and was welcomed with a song. When
the people concluded singing-an eXer-
else IN which they very much delight
they gave the regulation nine cheers,
and band OF music, that l suspect came
from the Kings frigate, played
King Christian stood by the lofty mast
The scene was one of singular inter
est, and as picture the Kings reception
was most charming feast to the eye.
The OXera's silver stream poured in a
sheet Of foam over the high and sOmber
rocks on the western side of the valley,
half a mile distant. The people were
gathered along the slope of the noun
tain, rent in twain for the All-men's

the western sky made a wonderful back
ground. A little hill stood out from the
slope from the cliffs TO the river, as regu-
lar IN its outlines as one Ofour untouched
indian mounds, and upon 1t was forum,
or perhaps it would be better TO say a
pulpit, OF fresh pine, surrounded by the
hagS OF all nations represented at the
celebration. The American flag was
one OF the largest, and quite new and
beautiful; and l do not know that it was

On the left was the Mount of Laws, and

a white falcon on a blue feld-While at
an equal elevation, though not On the
/ holy ground, fioated the flag of Denmark.
Whether the Danish flag should float
over the Hill Of the Judges was aquestion
discussed among the IcelanderS and de-
termined in the negative. The compro-
mise was that the Danish flag should
be placed just across the chasm and at
an equal height. King Christian did not
stand long by the lofty mast this time,
but after receiving and returning the sal
utations OF the people for a few minutes
rode to his tent, which was in the neigh
horhood OF the little black church a
