A Cow Visits the Springs.
fTerre Haute Gazette.

Mr.. Miller, OF the artesian baths, has
noticed, every day for the past six
months, that large, dark-spotted cow
comes down the hill on Walnut street
regularly in the afternoon, and, passing
down to the bank of the river, turns to
the south, and goes directly to the end
of the fume, or sewer, where the arte-
tesian waters empty from the well, and
drinks heartily, aud afterwards always
stands quietly awhile licking her mouth,
as il she enjoyed the medicated waters.
She was formerly accompanied by a
dark-red COW younger than she, but Of
late she comes alone; the other, per-
haps, stops at the branch. After drink
ing, she goes back up the hill again, and
never drinks of the river water. Mr..
Miller intends to follow her home at his
hrst convenience, to see il the water has
any effect upon the taste of the milk.
Whether the old bovine likes the water
for its saline nature, or is taking treat
ment for rheumatism, can not be dis
cerned readily.

WALING AND GNAsHING OF TEETH -
"The tllrJ is the painted hyena OF socie-
ty; the lamb-feecea-disguised ravening
wolf of the affectional fold. Her fangs
drip with The gore of the foolishIy fond
and true. Like the hideous spectre bat
Of the Orinoco, she drains the last pur-
pie drop from the veins Of her spell
bound victim, while her soft blandish-
ments lull him to rest and fill his dreams
with dazzling scenes OF beauty and fe-
licity. More cruel than the great war
god of the Aztecs, she teasts upon the
torn and bleeding hearts OF her own
most fervent worshipers. With savage
ferocity she crunches the tenderest feel
ings and emotions OF the human soul.'

THE EASTERN TROUBLES.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-A dispatch to Reu-
ters Telegraph Company from Belgrade
says the SerYian note handed to the for
eign Consuls yesterday complains that
the Turks have violated the suspension
of hostilitIes at YankoWa and KiOus-
soura. 1t is also stated that they have
destroyed and burned Saitschar, and
crossed the river Timok. 1t is reported
that the Servians, by order OF Prince
Milan, have crossed the Drina and oc-
cupied their former position on the
western bank.
FROM AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2I.-Australia
news is very meager. At Victoria in
quiry by the Steam Navigation Board
into the causes of the collision
which resulted in the destruction of the
steamer Queensland, resulted in a de-
termination to proecute Ainsworth, the
second officer of the Baraboo, for Grim
inal neglect of duty. He was found not
guilty on that charge, but was COM
mitted for Trial for disobedience OF the
Captains orders.
The New Zealand Governor, in his
message, admits that the credit Of tn
colony and its financial affairs are in
bad condition. A new loan Of e., 2,000, 900
is proposed, as the debt is accumulat-
ing rapidly. In the Legislative Assem-
bly, resolution for political separa.
tion of the North and South Islands
was lost. The Government supports
The proposition for second cable line
Of communication with Europe, provided
that it be completed by a second line
through Australia, but sets aside the
Transatlantic route as out of the que S.
tion.
THE PREMIER SPEAKS.
LONDON, Sept. 2l.-PremIer Disraeli
addressed large meeting at Aylesburg
last night on the subject of the Eastern
difficulties. He condemned Servia as
outraging all the principles OF interna-
tional law, public morality and honor in
attacking Turkey.

Wooed, Won, and Wed in an
Hour

A gentleman at the ripe old age Of six
ty years, wboresides in SangamOn Coun-
W, and who is widely known and re-
spected, by the name of Israel s. Love.
came to Chicago to view the glories of
the Exposition, leaving his flocks and
herds and broad Illinois acres in the
charge, let US hope, OF a careful party.
Well, he wandered through the aisles
and corridors of the great show and in
spected the beauties of the art gallery.
He heard the hum Of conversation be-
tween beautiful ladies and their escorts,
and noticed the bright glances and win
ming smiles of the Chicago bellies and
their not less fair cousins from the coun-
try, and the old gentleman felt lonely. 1t
seemed to MIN that this world was a
howling wilderness without the sweet
companionsnip Of some loved one. While
in this mood a handsome lady attracted
his attention, and seemed not indis-
posed to make his acquaintance. To cut
short long story, they did become ac-
quainted, and in a short hour the mo-
mentous question had been put, and an-
swered in the affirmative, and they im-
mediately started for the license shop
on the North Side. The lady's name is
Mrs. Eliza Horsman, and her home is
Council Bluffs. Her age is twenty-six.
She wears tight dress and silver
handled parasol. She was ''vidder,"
and is SO no longer; or the license was
procured, and, by one of those pieces OF
good fortune which happen but once in
lifetime, Justice of the Peace met them
at the door, who, on learning that they
desired to be married, Immediately in
vited them into General Lieb's office,
where the ceremony was performed, aud
the now happy couple came out man and
wife. No cards. Int Ocean.

As appears from letters OF iDq1lry
recently resolved By the post mater
a, this Place, some man claim u the
above e1DhonioBs cozn9nsn has been
trying some sert Of q confidence

individual in question rep-eseH.s
himself to own large farm within
four miles or Tiptoa, for -hich be

mani,y close At heart, he would sci
the receipt for this wonderful com

Bu, G.. Wadswo,th Clarke was no

Nay, verify, he gave his newly form

TIE WILroS MAsToDox, as the
huge animal Of past age has been
called ever since 4 dozen or more Of
his bones we're dug out Of the bank
Of Mud Creek, near WIl,pn, was con
slderably "written up" in these col
unns q year and a half ago. The
skeleton was not only a rare one, but
actually the largest ever discovered,
and it is no credit to the museums
and cabinets Of Iowa that it has been
permitted to leave the State. having
been secured for the Minnesota S ate
Normal School, al Winona, the pur.
chaser also having the right to dig
for the remainder Of the bones. We
extract regarding the acquisition from
= Wlnona paper:
The femur, or high bone, is g.
inches long, and the same around it's
lower extremity, the middle Of the
shaft being lG inches. The articu-
lating surface OF the lower condyles
is II inches ACROSS. The tibia i. 81
inches long, 80 around the upper end
- around the shaft, and IL across
the upper surface where the condyIes
Of the lemur rest. The sscrum is -
inches long, IL wide On the under
surface, and 81 inches in circumfer.
auce. Some Of the ribs ar; 4 feet
long, and from to 10 inches in cir
conference. The wide spreading
scapula, or shoulder blade, is 4213G
inches, and nearly ls inches in thick
ness At the thcksst part. The gle
mold cavity, in which the head Of The
hunerus rests, forming the shoulder
joint, is II inches across. Through
the opening Of the pelvic bones
-four barrel may be made to pass with
ease. The bones are in remar kab.e
good state of preservation, some Of
them when struck ringing like ivory.
The place where they were found,
consists of driftcd sand. From ap.
pesrances it may be readily inferred
that the depressed locality was once
part Of the bed Of 3 brisk river,
which flowed through the place sub
sequent to the glacial epoch. As the
animal lay busied in the fine silicious
drift, the relative positions Of the
heavier and lighter parts were such
IS would have naturally resulted had
the dead body been crushed between
