A Terrible Affair.

1t is terrible thing to tell lbnt how

North street, being on lark with sever
al other chaming young ladies, put on
their brOtherR' clothes and walked around
the block on wager That is, she start
ed to walk around the block, but at the
first corner she met tall Irishman very
drunk and belligerent. Frightened near
ly ont of her wits, she forgot that she
was a man pro tenn, SO she gave the tipsv
man one of her sweet smiles to soften his
rugged heart. and tried to go past him.
But the insnlted roisterer indignantly
demanded of the.snpposed man who in
thunder he was grinning at, hit her a
dip under the ear that knocked her half
way across the street. and when abe got
up. shrieking and whooping as only a
woman conId shrek and whoop under
snch circumstances, he passed her a
most ngly one right under the eye, and
Neither will che go to church to-day

VICE PRESIDENT WILSON DEAD.
He Expires Suddenly Of ApOplexy.

WASHINGTON, November 22--The
announcement of the death of Vice
President Wilson this morning WAS
complete surprise to everybody. His re-
cent attack was a severe one, especially
TO a man who has reached an advanced
age, ard whose physical powers had be-
come considerably impaired. a. the re
suit of lahorious and exciting life; but
he was apparently gaining strength so
rapidly that il was generally believe he
would soon be out again. Indeed, his
physician had promised him that he
might ride out to-day, and his first wax
long postponded indulgence. The feel
ing of sorrow at his death il profound
and sincere, and is shared by all classes.
His political enemies have always been
his personal friends, and no word of dis
paragement of the dead Vice President
il heard to day, even from those who in
times past have been only too anxious
and ready to criticise him. il is said
that he always had a desire that when
his last hour should come. he might be
permitted to spend it in the Capitol,
which had been the scene of his earnest
and unfaltering efforts to save the life OF
the Nation. and purify it from the dark
stain Of slavery. His wish was granted
and. like a faithful soldier, he died on
the field -

If we NAV credit statement IN the
Herald of Yok ohama, an Osaka man
offered a prize to anyone who would
drink one sho-oneq quart. one pint and
one-half gill-of a certain native iIq-
uor about as strong "a spirits Of wine.
A coolie performed the feat, but died
the same day from the effects of it.
They buried him in a shallow grave,
and about midnight the next day the
earth absorbed the liqnor from his we'll
soaked body. and he woke up from his
debauch. Pushing off the light soil
that covered him, he. rose from his grave
in a white shroud, and startled some
robbers near by who were counting and
dividing their money. They took the
strange apparition for ghost, and ran
off in dismay. The coolie:. picked mp
the cash and reported to his wife the
same night-a sadder but,richer man
than he was before his spree. Having
succeeded so well in this; adventure, he
took the part of ghost in the Osaka
Theater, but got good thrashing' from
a spectator, who didn't approve of such
ghostly performances, from which the
ghost nearly died.

Potatoes-A Valuable Business.

A trade is conducted in Europe to the
extent of some millions sterling year,
in converting potatoes into what il term
ed farina. or potato -four. Mr.. Alexan-
der 8. Macrae, of As Duke-street, Toron-
TO, gave some information on the subject
in the New York Snn and Chicago
Times Of the 21st and 22i of September.
The result has produced considerable
excitement among agriculturists and
others, to know something of the actual
process, and Mr.. Macrae puts it to our
discretion to publish the following de-
tails:
!. The potatoes are peeled in the raw
state. 2. They are then crushed or
ground into an impalpabie pulp, which
il we'll washed. 8. The water is then
evaporated, leaving pure white residi-
um, which is -four, or farina.
Three ton of potatoes, at a cost of, say
$45, should make one ton of farina, of a
value of 800, leaving S55 for wear, tear
and profit

More Mysteries.

-Four per=ons are known to have mys-
teriousIy disappeared in Kansas lately.
Two have disappeared in the neighboE-
hood of the Bender farm at Cherryvale,
reviving remembrances of the horrors
of that dreadful place. A German nam
ed Haywoa,I, who was on his way to
Fatherland, having in his possession a
considerable amount Of money, has been
missing for some time. He was last seen
alive at the house of a farmer, short
distance from Independence, Kansas
The body found in a sack in the Verdi
girls River, mutiIated and bloody, is
supposed to have been Haywood.
The next mystery Is the disappearance
of Mr.. Grey, who left the house of his
brother in-law, Chas- s. Martin, at Usage
Mission, on September "a, to visit a
brother at Sedan. Chaurauqua County.
His route led by the way of New Chica
go and Independence. He has been
traced TO Emporia. He never reached
his brothers residence and no trace has
been found of him.
The Last disappearance is that of Rose
Sydel, of Cedar Vale, Kansas. This
lady is described as young and beautiful.
She left her husband and home several
iays ago TO visit Kansas City. bnt those
expecting her here, and for whose com
ing preparations had been made, were
disappointed at her delay. A letter from
her husband announced her departure
and thus the greatest anxiety has been
awakened as to her fate.
The last disappearance is mat of Ed
Hutchinson, who for long time has
been resident of Lawrence. Mr.. Fl
left Lawrence early last spring for Viii
son County, where his parents reside
since which time nothing has been heard
of his whereabouts. Great anxiety il
felt BY his friends at Lawrence, and a
search ia now being prosecuted for him
The.above mysterious disappearances
together with the dark mystery en-
shrouding the death of the young lady
found in the river at Leavenworth, and
we have chapter sufficiently startling
for the most excitable natures.

A "Reminiscences Clay and
Governor Metcalfe.

A relative of Governor Metcalfe has
furnished us with the following incident.
which will illustrate the habit "Old
Stone-hammer" had of playing practi-
cial Jokes. Some time before the intro
duction of railroads, Governor Metcalfe
represented in Congress District of
which Nicholas County was a part. Mr..
Clay was Secretary of State under Pres
tom to make the trip to the National
Capital in private conveyance. 1t was
in the days of Mr.. Clay's greatest popu-
larity that the two distinguished polite
ians agreed to travel to Washington in
Governor MetcaIfe's carriage, and all
the arrangements perfected, they started
together from the Iatter's Forrest Re-
treat" home, in this county. While
passing through the State of Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. Clay told Governor Metcalfe
that he had received intimatioas that in
a certain town they were approaching
he would be honored with an ovati0n by
the citizens (they, like thousands of his
ellow-countrymen, loved him, bat had
never seen him). just before coming
to the town Governor Metcalfe, who had
all along been driving, suggested TO Mr..
Clay that he take the lines and drive,
as he hin,self was tired. Mr.. Clay
readily consented, wherenpon the Gov
ernor took the back seat in the carriage.
The honored statesman drove the
team successfully into the town, and
they were met by large concourse of
people. Governor Metcalfe alighted
from the carriage, and being asked whe-
ther he was Mr.. Clay, answered yes,
that he was glad to meet them. &C., and
at this the crowd fairly hoisted him mp
on their shoulders and triumphantlv
started with him to the place of recep.
tion. Looking back at Mr.. Clay, who
still sat in the carriage somewhat nom
pnlsed, the Governor cried: Driver,
take those horse to the stable and feed
them" The merriment of the crowd,
when the joke was discovered. can better
be imagined than described Mr.. Clay.
himielf, as heartily entering into it as the
rest. Frequently afterwards he would
recur to it, and said il was one Of the
best practical jokes he ever heard play
ed off on fellow.

Another firm has 10000 hams in store

Philadelphians fgnre it is this: 10000
fresh arrivals every day during the
show, each one to stay ten days and
spend $5 day; this makes a million a
day, or two hundred millions for the
whole seasoni This il wild talk, though

Ohio will soon be an uncomfortable
State far tramps. In most of the cities
and large towns the authorities are pre-
pairing to comfort the able-bodied beg
gar for food and lodging with q few
hours Of work, the sovereign elixir that
cures trampism with.a single applica-
ton. On the 9th of December State
Convention will meet at Columbus to
ronsider the tramp nuisance and devise a
remedy for il. It is likely that the con-
cIusion of the convention will be pre-
sen,ed TO the Legislature for embodi-
ment in a general law.-lCieveiand
Leader.
This will be a step in the right direc-
tion, and it should be promptly follow
ed by others that will speedily lead to
the total breaking up Of the tramp nui
sance. The pnblic at large cannot, in
any way, afford to encourage SO perni-
cious a practice as that of "tramping. !"
Besides the great Inconvenience it sub
jects the people to. it il franght with in
Vulnerable dangers TO persons living in
the country and in lonely localities. If
unrestrained for a few years more the
ranks Of the tramps would become the
general resort for large numbers of nm
Gagged criminals, who would thus be en-
abled to discover and take advantage of
opportunities to pfunder and outrage,
and who would, no doubt, commit many
desperate and horrible deeds, and in
every other way prove greater curse to
society than they already are. Ii is
therefore Of the utmost importance TO
the public that the Nuisance be broken
up, and all well-wishers Of society
should take an interest in such measures
as may be projected TO that end.

Bears Loose in Idaho.
TFrou, The Idaho fs,v worla1

From the Idaho City World
More of these animals have been seen
this fall than at any previous season
known to the Oldest settler. The short
wild berry crop in the mountains this
fall drives them into the valleys for food
and they are source Of great annoyance
to the settlers in the partiality shown bv
them for hogs and young calves. While
ON natural history we will mention that
Green Martin tells of bear rarely seen
in the mountains, which old hunters call
the bald face bear. It appears to be al
lied to the grizzly species, and grows TO
a tremendous size. The track Of one
seen up aboutthe Payette Lakes not long
since, measured sixteen inches across.
The deer species also were never more
numerous than this fall. They are seen
in large droves almost everywhere in
the mountains, and amateur sportsmen
as well as old hunters can kill all they
want in short time.
