A strange looking animal made its
appearance in Prescott diamonds
barnyard. He was first discovered by
Mr.. Hammond's son, Frank, who found
him in the early morning jumping after
the sheep and biting off all ear at every
jump. Frank supposing it was dog
tried to kill him with club, but the
creature sheltered himself from the
blows by lodging in among the sheep.
Young Hammond finally succeeded in
driving him under the barn, and went
into the house to call his father When
they came out the stranger was practic-
ing gymnastics ard finishing his break
fast Of sleeps ears. Father and son
again drove him under the barn, and
prevented his escape, while they pro-
cured the assistance of neighbor with
a gun. When assistance arrived Frank
thought to go in and drive the intruder
out 50 they might shoot him, but the
open mouth, the savage display of
teeth, and the protruding tongue, con-
vinced him that it was not dog, and
thinking discretion the better part of
valor, retired from the scene. They
finally shot him by taking up plank
from the barn floor, and found their foe
to be lynx.

Ice $4,000 Years OId.

The altitude OF the Stevens mine on
Mount Mcclellan is u, SOC feet. At
the depth of trout so to 200 feet the
creviee matter, consisting of silica,
c2icite and ore, together with the sur
rounding wall rock, is a solid frozen
mass. Mcclellan is one of the high
est eastern spurs of the snowy range ;
it has the form of a horseshoe, with q
bold escaTpment of feltsphatic rock
nearly 1000 feet high which in some
places is nearly perpendicular. Moth
ing unusnal occurred until distance
OF some 50 or 80 feet had been made ;
then the frozen territory was reached
AID it has continued for over 200 feet
There are no Indications Of a thaw,
summer or winter. The whole frOz-
en- territory is surrounded by hard,
massive rock, and the lode itself Is As
hard aud massive as the rock.
Toe miners being unable to excav-
ate the frozen material with picks or
drills, found that the only way was
To kindle q large wood fire at night
against the back end OF the tunnel,
and in the morning take out the dis
integrated ore. This has been the
mode Of mining for more than two
years. The tunnel is over 290 feet
deep, and there is no dimInutiOn OF
the frost. There is, so far as can be
seen, no opening or channel through
which the frost could possibly have
reached such q depth from the surface.
There are other mines in the same
vicinity in like frozen state. The
theory is that the rock was laid down
in glacial times, when there was cold
enough to freeze the very earth IS
heart. In that case the mine is an
ice house whose stores have remained
unthawed for the last $4,000 years
The phenomenon is not uncommon
or inexplicable when openings can
be found through which q current OF
air can pass but cases which, like
the Brandon frozen well and the
Stevens mine, show no way for air
currents, are still referred to, iInbed-
ded 10 ieebergs and the glacial period.

yesterday, "Let me take your candy
and We'll all play chicken"
SIS it nice ?'' inquired half dozen
six-year-olds in chorus.
"Nice you bet II is. Let me show
you. Now, I'll lay the csndy down
here on the step, and you ali go down
there and come up when you hear me
call like rooster"
The girls rstreated and gathered in
a group about fifteen feet off, while
the boy got on his. knees, with his
head over the candy, and began to
call and strut aud flap his arms like
ROSTERS wings.
"Cluck. cIuck, rat, tat, rap, cluck, {"
and all the girls came running up
and bent to pick up the candy, when
the little fellow opened his mouth
and took it In ut one gulp.
"Oh, you mean boy" they cried,

The Tremendous Issues Involved I'm

The star of the empire moves west
ward aud Ohio becomes the Keyst me
State, rice Pennsylvania, resigned.
Still voting in October, Ono
and Indiana will have a power fuI in
fiuenee upon the result Of Presi.isn-
tial contest in other States, and that
influence will be the greater, in the
contest now approaching, because of
the peculiar attitude OF elements and
f rces in Ohio. Thus the struggle in
that State this year, because it will
indicate which party may carry Ohio
in October, 1876, and by what meth
DDS, is everywhere recognized as one
OF extraordinary importance. Demo-
cratic defeat, following the majority
OF nearly 1000 for that party last year,
will strongly encourage the reform ell
ement of the Republican party, and
admonish the Democrats that they
cannot afford to eOuntenanee initiation
or reputation. Republican defeat in
State once so strong in its attach
ment to that party. and by q DemOc-
facy 50 little deserving of confidence,
would not only give strength to the
most dangerous Democratic element,
but might cause such decentralization
aud disheartenment among its oppo-
nent1 as TO make the nat Onal contest
one Of great peril.
The Liberals and Independents of
Ohio are Eeither tricky demagOgues
nor slaves OF party, but sincere men
who have shown themselves ready to
fight for their convictions. They did
not mean to cheat the country when
they uttered the pledges OF 1872, and
they will not give aid or encourage
ment to a new warfare upon the pub-
lie credit, and the public creditors.
Other questions can be settled when
the Presidential election comes. For
tuIately the Republicans of Onic have
had the good sense to put the third
term issue out of the way. The iBlnle-
diGte danger IS that, IN q time of ia
dlGstridL disorder and financial eD1b0r-
rdssHlellt, reckless deDldgogues may be
encouraged to appeal to the COBlnlu-
niStie spirit, to SHAKE the Uery fOundd-

Two Days Married ana then a Corpse.

WyandOtte county (K4nsas) now
contributes bloody aad fatal renc0n-
tre, which, for romance and san
culinary results, entities her to more
than passing mention. Last Sunday
night an energetic lover abseonded,
taking with him q daughter of Colo
mel DronDing, with whom he had
been associated as an employe on the
farm. While away the lovers were
married and Monday night they re-
turned, stopping at the house Of 8
neighbOr. The newly-made husband
sent word to his wife's father, inform
ing him where they were. An invita-
ton was returned for them to return
to the girls home, which they did on
Tuesday. When arriving there they
were cordially received, and the SON.
in-law supposed that all differences
had been amicably settled. While
there he met Henry Ferrier, who
resides on farm near Tonganoxie,
and who had formerly been paying his
attentions to the daughter Of Colonel
Dronning. After leaving the house,
1t is reported that these two men met
and became involved in q quarrel
which resulted in fight. The dead
body of the young husband was after
ward found with two bullets holes in
his head.

Hopeful Lookout.

The Chicago Tribune looks upon the
business situation Of the country IS
richer to-day, in Its freedom from debt,
than it was in the fabulous expeeta-
tions which exploded in 1878. Pro-
duetioD-the annual addition TO the
aggregate wealth of the natiOn-has
gone on steadily, and to-day there Is
more real, substantial wealth in the
country than there was when the
bonds OF the Northern Pacific Rail-
road were counted among the assets.
So long as this production goes on, so
long az credit rests upon substance
and not upon wind and water, 30 long
as men live within their incomes and
do not consume as much IS they pro-
duee, their prosperity will continue,
and storms like that Of 1873 will not

CHOICE WORDS FROM WILLIAM
ALLEN.
A Specimen or the Gem0eralIc GOY-
eFn0F's War Speeches-FallaRdigham
0utriValled.

The following choice Out5ursts OF
patriotism are taken from a speech
% ade by William Allen on the 10th OF
1853, ten days before the
brave boys in blue went in to the
death on the bloody field of Chieks-
mauga:
These abOlitionists say slavery is the
cause OF war. They say it ought to be
exterminated. / say it ought not.
The Chicago platform was declar-
alton of war and hostility to the peO-
pie Of the South, as being the owners
Of slaves. That platform was the true
origin of the war.
We put down South Carolina nullifi-
cation, and how? By calling out 75,-
600 men? No, By numbering seven
or eight hundred men! By making q
million and q half Of orphans in this
country! That's not the work that
Democrats have done. These bloody
scenes were reserved for the abolition
ist. to produce.
Lincoln had shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern. and how
much nearer the end does he get
His cry Is still for blood. The Ad-
ministration stands on tip toe every
day, with its eyes distended, and its
arms stretched forth calling on the
American people for more blood and
more money. And these preachers
those Chicago priests that went to
Detroit to get Lincoln to bite the for
hidden fruit, to try the first act, The
initial sin, 6y the publication Of an
act eBIdncipdtigg the slaves. These
priests, 1 would not like to have met
these fellows; they went down can't
ing and whining, their mouths ail the
way watering for the blood OF ths
people. Every one Of them thought
that God had made it his specia
business to go and beg Lincoln to
commence the business Of numbering
the american people. Ifthe Abolition
party succeeds, all we will have to dt
will be to make our preparations to 81
tghere the 6reddsfufs are cheap, and
go from the region toward which thI
negro gravitates. These negroes vii
come flocking over cur river by thI
hundred thousand. Now what d.
