showing the boys how to Shoot.

Recently, at saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
affray which occurred during the morn
ing between the two brothers-in-iaw,
Fallman and Ward. 1t was agreed on
all hands that it was shocking bad shoot
ing-a discredit to Washoo. AT last q
Phoebe man banterei Comstock man,
whom he knew to be good shot with
a pistol, to 60 out in the back yard with
him and do some shooting, just to show
the boys" how it should be done. In
the saloon was box Of eggs, and what
the Piocher proposed was that each shoot
two off the bare head of the other at the
distance Of ten PAGES, the one missing to
treat the crowd. The C.omstocker was
bound not to be bluffed by a man from
the other end of the State. SO to the back
yard all hands adjourned. Each man
used his own six-shootei. The Com
stocker first "busted his egg on the
top of the Piochcr's head, which exploit
was loudly applauded by all present. 1t
was then the Piocher's turn to shoot,
and an egg was produced to be placed
upon the head of the Comstocker, bat
when he removed his hat there was u
great laugh, for the top of his head was
as smooth as q billiard bail. For full ten
minutes all hands tried IN vain to make
an egg stand on his head. 1t couldn't
be done. The Piocher then tainted the
Comstocker with having gone into the
arrangement knowing that ne was SAFE.
The latter told him to set up his egg and
it was all right-he was there. The
Piocher vent into the saloon and a,mo.
ment afterward came out with q handful
of -four, which hc dabbed upon the bald

Hon. Joseph Mcdill, one of the foun.
ders of the Chicago Tribune, has pur-
chased a controlling interest in that pa
per, and declares that it is his intention
to put it back into the position it SO long
held, aud always while under his man
agcment occupied that it will be an
exponent ofthe principles of the
Republican party and a defender of all
its measures based upon those principles
while at the same time reversing the
right to freely criticlse, and refusing TO
become the organ of any clique, or of
any man, no matter how high his posi-
ton. The original stock of the Tribune
company was two thousand shares,
at $1,000 per share. 1t is stated that
Medill paid $500 900 for sixty shares or
at the rate of $4,000 per share, and that
he now holds three ffths. of the entire
stock.

Hon. Alex DeImar publishes a letter

Hon. Alex DeImar publishes letter
in tho,C Chicago Inter Ocean, on the Ag-
riculture of Egypt. In it he states that
it is from the land of the Nile that
Great Britain draws large portion of
her supplies of wheat, and hence tho
competing capacity of Egypt as bread
stuffs-producing country becomes of in
interest and Importance to grain-produc-
ers and dealers in tho United States.
Mr.. Delmar considers the subject In all
its bearings, IN bis usual mastery man.
ner. he shows that Egypt and other
sources of supply cannot i.eet the de-
mands of Great Britain wilhoutthe ma
tcrial aid of the United States, and that
the exports from this country will, in
consequence, for the year lS74-75, be
much larger and the Prices better than
now prevail, Notwithstanding the esti-
mates Of interested English statisticans
and "bearish" American newspapers.

THE ELECTIONS.

At this writing it is impossible to tell
the result of the elections of the differ
ent States. The Geographic news is
very meagre. In Massachusetts Ben.
Butler is defeated for Congress and
Banks elected. CASTOR, Democratic can
didate for Governor, is probably elected
by 5000 majority. DR.. Aver, Republl-
cln, is also def a ed. George f. Hoar
is elected to Congress il the 9th District
by 81 majority.
Illinois is reported to have gon, Re-
publican by.35, 600 majority. Farewell
is elected to Congress in the third (Chl-
caga) district, and Caulield Democrat,
in the first [Chicago) district.
Democrats claim great gains in Mary
land. There are also great Democratic
gains in Louisiana and Texas.
Tennessee has gone Democratic by
from $4,000 to $4,000, and all the Con
gresslonal delegation, except the first
and second districts, which are doubtful.
In Wisconsin the Legislature is very
close, but the Republicans will have a
majority on the joint ballot, thus secur-
ing a Republican Senator to succeed Car
penter. The congressman will be Re-
publican as usual, with the exception OF
one district.
The Democrats elect three out of four
congressman in Arkansas.
In Michigan the new constitution is
overwhelmingly defeated. Returns show
considerable Democratic. gains.
The Democrats in Kentucky probably
elect all Of the ten congressman.
In Minnesota all three Republican
congressman are elected by reduced ma
jorities.
In Georgia, Alexander II. Stephens is
elected to congress, almost without OPP
position.
There is scme prospect of the Peoples
State ticket being elected in Missouri.
The news from our own State is not
encouraging. Osborn is probably elect
ed Governor by 5000 majority. while
the balance of the State ticket will aver
age about 1000. Cobb is defeated
be Goodin in the second district; Brown
in the third is elected by about 1900
majority oyer Hudson. Phillips, in the
first is elected by about 1000 majority.
Between Lappin and Watson, Tor State
Treasurer, the election is close. There
was light vote not only in Kansas but
nearly in all the States, and hence the
Democrats have managed to increase
their strength.
1t seems likely that the Opposition
will have a majority in the House of
Representatives.

head of the Comstoeker, and then triun-.
phantly planted in it his egg, fell back
ten steps, and then knocked it off. The
Comstocker then told him to set up his
second egg and shoot it, as. he didn't
want TO have his head chalked twice dur
ing the game. This was done and the
wreck of q second egg streamed over
the Comstock pate. The Piocher
now stood out with his last egg on his
head. The Comstocker raised his pistol
and fred. The Piocher bounded yard
into the air, and the egg bounded whole

A Europsan War Predicted.

Father Hyacinthe and Victor Hugo
have Joined Mr.. Disraeli and the Pope
in prophesying the approach of tre-
mendous war, which shall rage all over
Europe and elsewhere. Mr.. Disraeli pre-
dicted that the war would be a religious
one, and that it would convulse the
globe. The Pope described tho impend-
ing struggle as one between the Arch
angel Michael and the hosts OF Satan.
According to the representations OF
Father Hyacinthe, the coming war will
be threefold, and will include fearful
conflict between popular rights and the
powe of capital in which the combine
tons will tear each other to pieces. Ac-
cording to the vaticlnatIon of Victor
Hugo, the great and inevitable encounter
Is to be " between two principles, repub-
lie and empire" He says that "we
have before ua--in Europe-a series OF
catastrophes which engender each other,
and which must be eXbaustcd;" that
we can got glimpse only across a
shock of arms that "between the
present and the future there is a fatal in
lerposition that the Kings must cx-
plate the crimes" and that the separa-
ton of the people will result in fedora
ton and fraternity. He thus closes his
prophecy of Universal Fatberland: Z"
1.-THE solution is this-the United States
of Europe. This end will be for the peo-
plo-that is to say for liberty and for
God-that is to say, for peace" There
must surely be something in the atmos-
phere of Europe that leads 80 many
prophets to prophesy the approach of
war--war about religion, rcpubiicanism
and the rights of human nature.

scented myself at the mill, and inquired
for the wool. 1t would be done in less
than another week. 1t was done when

quite delighted on my arrival, and at
once set to work to spin. it on great
wheel At the appointed time l made
another journey on horseback with my
bundle behind me, to the cloth store at
Knoxville. was obliged to be content
ed with receiving promise OF tho cloth
in three weeks, When that time had
gone by went again, and had to wait
a long time, but finally obtained my
treasure and went home. After three
weeks delay and disappointment Uncle
David gave me the cloth for my surtout,
and then Aunt Debby, the tailoress, had
to be engaged to make it. Aunt Dolby
could not come for some days, but at
last after more hardships in going for
her at carly sunrise on cold, frosty
day, and waiting for her TO finish job,
she was obtained, and the heard-earned
garment was at last completed, as we'll

other to batch OF writers, while third may run
20 ministers; Lyme, Conn.,, the birthplace OF

has produced. Many OF these had the good luck
10 be born there, and many who had not. had the
good sense to marry girls who had. Major-Gen
