What Is q Bait

All who have ever examined a bat
closely, and observed it's fur, ears, and
teeth, must, think, have recognized
it as a kind of beast. Its real affini-
ties, however, serve excellently well
to demonstrate how little mere exter-
nal aspect can be trusted as guide to
fundamental relationship. The bat is
essentially an animal of the air-all
its structure is modified for fight, and
it rarely descends to the surface Of the
ground. The mole, on the contrary is
essentially an animal of the earth-all
its structure is modified for burrow-
ing, and it rarely ascends to the sur
face OF the ground. The contrast
could hardly be more complete, and
yet the bat and the mole are cousins
the mole, the hedgehog. and shrew
mouse belonging to group of beasts
with which the bats show no inconsid-
cradle affinity. =
: I have spoken of the opinion that the
bat is kind of bird. This view seems
to have been entertained by the Jews,
and the ''bird of darkness" is placed.
In Deuteronomy xiv : 10, among the
unclean ones forbidden as food:
''And the stork and the heron after
her kind !; and the lapwing and the
Aristotle, though he placed the bats
among flying animals, and therefore
among birds, distinctly recognized the
diferenee in their organization and
the same thing may be affirmed of
Piny. But In spite Of this, and al.
though Albertus Magnus, in the mid.
die ages, was fully acquainted with
the true nature of bats, as beasts, al
well as with their winter torpidity,
we find latter o retrogressi0n Of
opinion.

The main exhibition building, at
the Centennial, is to be preserved. The COM
mission held meeting on the 23d, as to
whether the main building should be per-
mitted to remain permanently in its position:
After discussion resolution was adopted au-
thoriziDg IN association of citizens to take
possession OF the main building and employ
it for the purpose Of permanent exhibition.
Much satisfaction is felt At this final decision
to retain the building on the ground.

A Calcutta dispatch states that the
prospects Tor crops from Bombay become
daily more gloomy. The districts Of Khan
deick, Nassick, Ahminduggur, Paonah, Shall
aptnc, Kaladgo and Dhurmt, containing q
population of nearly six millions, are threat
ened with severe distress. The local govern
ment estimates that over zoe, 900 persons must
be relieved in three districts alone. It is
stated that the Monsoon crops have entirely
failed, and that the absence OF rain prevents
the saving Of rubbee and winter crops.
The collector Of Paonah reports that not a
single blade Of grass is visible for miles. The
lands and rivers are drying, and cattle are
dying Of starvation. The collector at Shot,
sporo gives still worse report. The gov
eminent has opened relief works, and is en-
ploying people in excavating lands and
making road.

The uncertainty Of the result Of the nego-
tiations, and = hope that some solution of the
problem will be arrived At without resort to
arms by the great powers, prevents any great

Our Interest in the War,

Our Interest In the War.
The New York Evening Post, speak
ing Of war prospects in its financial column,
says: Looking over the whole situation, how.
ever, it is impossible to come to any other
conclusion than that the war, even il confined
to Russia and Turkey, which is hardly among
the possibilities, will be allthat is needed to
awaken the dormant industries OF
the country and give us degree Of profitable
activity In every branch OF business, such ~
has not been seen for many years. So far as
the price Of gold is Affected by the foreign
trade movement, it must be born In mind
that u the receipts Of breadstuffs, one Of the
great sources Of supply for wheat, will Be cut
Of, ! good part ofthe wheat which supplies
theWorld coming from Russia; that there
win be IN enormous demand for our bread
stu6s and provisions, In fact all good products j.;
that there also will be great demand for
coarse manufactures and particularly for ev-
erything that comes under the head of war
supplies, and that this demand will directly
help the transportation lines OF all kinds, aud
viii indirectly stimulate every branch of in
dusty It must not be forgotten, however.
that Ut least part Of what our exports. will
gain IN his way win be lost on cotton, Of
which We have IN enormous crop this year.
Whether the domestic consumption of cotton
can be increased 80 ~ to compensate for what
ever reduction there may be in the foreign
demands is another question.

Fight With . Catamount.

The Honesdale Chronicle. says that
George Gillespie. Of Scott, Wayne co.,.
Pennsylvania, while passing through
the woods insthat township one, night
last, week, on his way to hunt pigeons,
saw crouching on the limb Of q maple
tree, about ten feet from the ground,
a large catamount, and thoughtlessly
fired 4 load of shot at the animal. It
dropped to the ground and glared saw
agely at the hunter. Gillespie eluded
it, and quickly put the contents Of the
other barrel into the animals face and
eyes. This blinded the infatuated ami
NAL, but it was not inclined to surren-
der, and sprang about wildly after it's
assallant, guided by the sound Of his
feet. He dubbed it with his gun, and
by several heavy blows succeeded in
rendering it unconscious, when he cut
its throat with a knife. The cata-
mount was three feet four inches long,
and weighed sixty pounds.

Diplomacy Seemingly at an End and War
Certain.
For more than six months European
Affairs have been steadily and almost surely
drifting towards a general war. The bone Of
contention is Turkey. The Servians, Bosinians
and Montenegrins are the skirmishers and
now appears in the distance, cleaning guns
and Frightening sabres for the fray, on one
side the great powers OF Russia and Austria,
and on the other England and the Turkish
army. Still further back is Germany, in.
clined somewhat towards the Russian side, and
France, smarting under the recollection Of
recent punishment, ready, if the chance Of
fers, to join England. That is the general
situation as it appears from this side the
water. It would require all the space in our
paper to give all the rumors, statements and
facts which have been telegraphed over the
wires In the past week, and before the paper
reaches our readers war may be in actual
progress, or = peace arranged. So that it is
difficult to satisfactorily summarize the stu
alton, more than this: It is announced that
England considers diplomatic action at Con-
stantinoplo at an end. The Servian war min
lister says hostilities have been resumed, in
which Russia will participate. Lord Derby
says it is the duty Of England to put deet on
the Bosphorus 70 prevent Russia from plant
ing her flag on Turkish soil. The news Gre
ated the greatest excitement in all markets Of
heworld. Stocks, gold and products were
effected to such an extent that the result OF
the opening Of general hostilities were clearly
toreshadowed. The London Times in leader
aava II in stated that orders have heon oivar
at the war Office to the commander-in-chief,
to hold three army corps in readiness for i'm
mediate dispatch to the Mediterranean also
that plans for the defense of Constantinople,
prepared by the royal engineers, have been
forwarded to the admiral commanding the
British feet at Beska Bay.

Steinway's Victory and Laurels.

The following official report of the
Judges OF Awards, accompanying the Medal,
shows conclusively that the hi hest honors in
the gift of the Centennial authorities were
unanimously awarded to srE1xwAY Il ,soxs,
viz. "For greatest concert capacity in Grand
pianos, Is also highest degree Of excellence
in all their styles Of pianos, viz. largest vol.
ume, purity aud duration Of tone, and extra
ordinary carrying capacity with precision
and durability Of mechanism: also; novel dis
position OF the strings and construction, and
bracing of the metal Frame"
The report then infinitely describes and
emphatically endorses the six principal pat
ented improvements which have made the
Steinway
THE STANDARD PIANOS OF THE WORLD.
Referring to Steinway's exhibits in Ma.
chinery Hall Of samples Of hardware, metal
frames and patent tubular actions, the repor,
further states:
"These articles of composite metal show
the highest perfection Of finish and workman.
ship and the greatest firmness and uniformity
of metal structure, = steel-like and sounding
quality with a tensile strength exceeding
t, 900 lbs. per square centimetre, as demon
strated by actual tests. The full metal frames
of cupola shape, possess an unequalled de-
gree OF resistance, permitting vastly in
creased tension Of strings without the eight
est danger Of break or crack in said meta
frames, thereby considerably increasing tn
vibratory power, and augmenting the lasting
qualities OF their Instruments"

Who is Responsible for the Calnhoy Affair?
The Charleston News and Courier, in
its report of the recent affray at Cain.
hoy, where the negroes hit back, says
that an agreement was entered into be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats
that they would divide this meeting,
and that arms should not be taken to
the locality, and add ''The Demo.
Gratis conf0rmed strictly to the agree.
ment." In the same article describ-
ing the trip Of the Democrats down to
Cainh0y the News and Courier says :
''There was no incident worth noting
on the run to Cainhoy. The Demo-
Gratis amused themselves by firing with
their pistols at such objects in the riv-
er as attracted their attention. We
presume this is the way Democrats
conform strictly to an agreement
the South Carolina plan.
In the report of r. NJ. Wallace, Unit.
ed States Marshal at Charleston, S. c.,
to Attorney Gen. Taft, the true version
is given of the affair at Cainhoy. From
this account, which TALES closely with
that which was telegraped by the
special correspondent of the New York
Times, it is perfectly clear that the
White Democrats took the initiative
in acts of violence and fired the first
volley, instantly killing an aged ne.
gro who was in attendance upon the
meeting. Then, and not till then, the
negroes showed fight, and by a well.
directed fire dispersed tfeir assailants
and drove them from the ground. The
fact that the usual rate of mortality
was reversed only proves that in this
solitary instance the Confederate in.
timidators were beaten at their own
ga me.

POLITICAL.
The October Elections.

The following is the address of the
Republican National Committee:
The Republican National Committee
congratulate the party which they rep
resent and the country upon the result
of the fall elections already held. In
Maine a Republican majority of less
than 5000 has been increased to nearly
10000. In Vermont the old ascend.
ancy has been fully maintained. In
Colorado Democratic majority of
'2,OOO has been overcome and Repub-
hcan governor and both branches of
the Legislature elected, securing two
United States Senators and three Pres
idential electors. In Ohio a Republi.
can majority of 1854 has been in
creased to between 1900 and 10000,
and five Republican Congressman have
been gained. In Indiana Democratic
majority of II 1000 has been reduced to
5000, with a gain of four Republican
Congressman and the Legislature upon
joint ballot.
These highly.gratifying results have
been obtained in the face of frauds at
the ballot.box and an unparalleled use
of money by the opposition. They
show the drift of popular sentiment,
and clearly indicate a national victory
for the Republican party in November.
All that is now necessary is to continue
the vigorous prosecution Of the can
vass, to secure protection to all citi"
zens in the right of ballot, to bring all
legal voters to the polls, and to prac'
tice the utmost vigilance upon the day
of election.
Fortunately for the country, ou>
candidates represent the best spirit oil
reform, to which they are pledged by
every act and utterance of their lives
Their success alone will insure an hon
est administration and preserve tn
government from the unfriendly hand
of those who recently sought to de
stroy it, and who now seek to prey up
on it's resources.

General Shcrman's Sentiments,

Gen. Sherman is credited With be.
ing conservative in politics, and &C.
cording to the Democratic press is op.
posed to sending troops to South Car
DINA. His public and private utter
ances are inconsistent with such
statements. In Washington, the other
day, Gen. S. said to a friend: ''South
Carolina has caused trouble enough in
this country, and ought to be the last
State to create 4 disturbance now"
On another occasion at the reunion
Of the army of the Tennessee, he said,
after deprecating any attempt to con-
meet politics with the proceedings of
the meeting of the Society of the Army
Of the Tennessee, Gen. Sherman said
in substance that if one man, or one
thousand men, or ten millions of peo-
pie raise their hand against the old
Union or against the old flag, he knew
that he himself and the Army of the
Tennessee would be quick to avenge
such affrOnt. This sentiment was re-
eceived with an enthusiastic applause
that could not be subdued for many
minutes.
The Toronto Globe has been consid-
ering the Presidential question as mod
ifed by recent elections, and it con.
cludes: ''1f the full party vote 20 now
for Hayes, there is little doubt but
that he will be the new President, and
the likelihoods of this being the case
are considerably greater than they
were three months ago. An unpreju.
diced spectator can see cat jump with
tolerably clear vision, and the Globes
testimony on this point is admissible.
Samuel J. Tilden stands out as one Of
the meanest men whom the late war
has unearthed from their dens. With
$4,000, 900, with no family of his own,
with known income of $lO8,OOO,
with princely home with princely
surroundings, this man who pretends
to have loved the soldiers, refused to
give $40 to procure the body of his
nephew for that nephew's wife.
