An Ice Cave in Iowa,

The Muscatine journal prints letter
from Decorah, Iowa, which says:
"About half mile north OF this city in
bIutf-side, is situated what is called Ice
Cave. 1t is about two hundred feet in
depth and enters the bluff at an angle of
about fifty degrees. Some great conVul-
sion of nature must have here rifted the
rocks and left wedge-shaped rent be-
tween them. Into this fssure you enter
and meet at once an icy atmosphere,
You find the sides of the cave cold and
wet, and hear the slow dripping of water.
AS you advance the cold increases, and
at distance of fifty or sixty feet the
bottom of the cave and ills rocky sides
are covered with ice. The dripping
water freezes as it falls. You can stay
but short time in the cave. The sud
den change from the heat OF summer to
the cold of winter is more than you can
stand, and you retreat, feeling that you
have witnessed remarkable phenome-
non-ice made by natures own method
in midsummer. Now comes the most re-
markable truth Of all, and that is that
no ice forms In this cave in winter; even
that OF the summer disappears"

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 2.-The
swimming match, distance four miles,
between Andrew Trauntz and George
Wade, took place there yesterday after
noon. There was considerable delay in
starting.
They then were taken about three
miles when they entered the water, They
were in the water from $3.50 to 4:90 p. NJ,
Trauntz beating Wade about three feet.
They swan hard, and toward the last
Wade was almost exhausted.
The sea was running very rough anu
strong. There is considerable differ
ence Of opinion as to the fairness of the
match. The stake boat was not an
chored, and many think it was allowed
to drift so as to favor Trauntz.

"Bishoping" Horses.

The Rural World describes this fraud,
which consists in operating on the teeth
of an old horse with rasp or file, so as
to make them resemble the teeth OF q
young horse. AS the horse grows old
the gums shrink away, making the teeth
look long-one OF the best evidences OF
old age. The horses mouth is opened
and an instrument put in 1t, so he can't
close it, and the head is tied up high
and the bishoper rasps down the teeth 10
about the length of those OF young
horse
Sometimes the indentations in the
teeth are also made SO as TO resemble
those of horse six or seven years old,
and horses have even been taken by
government inspectors, thus operated
upon, without detection. The name, we
presume, comes from man by the name
of Bishop, who probably introduced the
practice. The operation is only carried
ON IN our large cities by sharpers.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-04-06

THE Democratic majority in the House
at Washington is making large reduc-
tions in the civil, diplomatic, military
and naval appropriations. These reduc-
tions are opposed by the solid vote of the
Republicans. AS that party has the Sen
ate, it is not likely the reductions, so
necessary in these hard times, will be
made; they show the disposition of the
parties, however. The trick of a Repub-
lican member IN moving an amendment
to reduce the pay of Congressman to
$1,000 year will not suffice. The $1,000
party made it $4,000 when it had the ma
iority in Congress, and increased the ap-
propriations. The Republicans can't di-
vert attention from the saving of mil
lions of dollars to the saving of few
hundred thousand dollars in the pay of
members of Congress, the increase Of
which they themselves favored.

YARNS AND WISHES.

Notwithstanding their hardships sail
ors cannot refrain from "yarning" in the
most extravagant manner:
"If l was King" said a sailor, VI
would make everybody rich; would
take offthe taxes, and make everybody
contented and happy, Then | would
marry pretty girl, buy horse and COW
and go to farming" Jack has always a
great terror of taxes, though he never
pays any, and almost romantic idea of a
farmers life, al though he may never have
passed day on a farm. The farmer
has all night to sleep, while Jack is liable
to be called at any moment, is the one
great cause Of sailors wishingto be farm
ers. 81 would make my father and
mother, and all my brothers and sisters
rich, then get all the money could, and
then leave" He failed to say where he
would go-probably to "parts unknown"
"Vast, therew ~ said the second Jack !;
show much money would you want, any
how2 Be easy, now; don't take hogs
biteW
"Well," said the ether, ''I would be
satisfied if that ship were loaded down
with need es and every needle would be
worn out with making bags to hold my
moneyp
"Belay there !" said Jack number one.
"Don't be fool. When you make a
wish, wish for something in reason, Now
i wish l had pile of money so big that
your pile wouldn't be enough to pay
the interest on mine so long asyou could
hold red hot knitting needle in your
carp
