SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE


From Ned Austin We learn the par.
ticulars Of the following rather singu.
lar circumstance, which occurred up in
Chippewa county. A man moved his
hay on marsh and stacked it near
about the centre, digging a ditch q
few rods from the stacks to prevent
cattle reaching them and the fire get
ting to them These stacks were some
distance from his house, and a few
days ago, on visiting this marsh, he
was surprised to find that his stacks
were not IN sight, but in stead nothing
but water was visible. The ground
being heavily loaded by the hsy, had
sunk with its burden into the bosom
of the lake below.-Litchfeld Neus--

Bishop Whipple illustrates the cost
of the Indian war rather strikingly'
He recently remarked to a correspond.
ent of The Omaha Herald that if ten
soldiers were placed in line, with an
Indian at one end, and the American
people could be brought to understand
that in order to secure the scalp of that
one Indian it would require the sacri
fee Of the ten soldiers and an expend
iture of $50, 900 in money, they nigh,
be led to inquire whether the scalp
was really worth the outlay.

The Hero of NOrthfield.

The bank cashier, Mr.. J. l.. Hey
wood, of Mortified, Mimi, who with
a bowie knife at his throat and a pis.
tol at his temple, returned a decisive
"No" to the demand of the gang of
robbers that he should open the bank
vault to be plundered, is rightly enrol
led among the heroes Of our times.
In hir, fidelity and courage the mob
lest quality we're illustrated again.
He is dead, but the trust committed
to him was not betrayed, and his name
will live in homer. He fell at the post
of duty as gallantly as any knight of
any age. He has done the world a
service We know nothing else of his
history bu: this one act for which he
died, but it is enough. He belonged
to the high order of manhood which
yields to no threat, and calmly con-
fronts all the odds of fate. Whether
he has left father or mother, wife or
child, we do not know; but if he has
they have reason to be proud of their
relation to such a man. The whole
banking interest OF the county owes
him debt If he has left any who
were dependent on him, they should
be placed above the possibility of want.
The bank he saved can afford to do
this alone, but we hope it will be done
handsomely and promptly by a com
bined movement on the part of all the
banking institutions of the country.
The encouragement of such conduct is
the wisest measure of protection they
can resort to. There ought to be such
testimonial of appreciation Of his
unqualifying fidelity as will distinguish
the example forever.-Boston 4dver'

How II Looks to Mark Twain;

A New York Herald reporter has
been interviewing Mark Twain as to
his political preferences and these are
a couple Of the questions and answers in
the catechism published as the result
of the interview:
Q-Then how do yon Judge of your
men?
Ma,k-oDly by common report and
their letters of exceptauce.
(Which candidate do YOU prefe+
upon these grounds?
Mark.-Hayes. He talks right out
upon the important issues. You can
not mistake what he means concerning
civil service, second term and the hon.
est payment of the national debt. If
you can understand what Mr. Tilden
means, it is only beoause you ka7e got
more brains than 1 have, but you don't
look it. Mr.. Tilden Is a very able
man; therefore, I hold that he could
have made himself understood. Whv
didn't be? Because one-half of his
patty believe in one thing and the 9th.
er half in another, suppose, and it is
necessary to be a little vague, But
MIR Hendricks is not vague. He is in
no hurry to have the national debt
paid.
Q-Peopfe speak we'll of both candi-
dates, don't they?
Mark-1 will tell you how it locks
to me- read a lot Of newspapers of
both creeds every day. The Republi.
cans tell me great many things
which Hayes has done; the Democrat.
ic papers explain why Tilden didn't do
a great many things. They keep on
apologlziog and apologizing alt the
time. | think that the women or the
candidate that has to be apologized for
is a suspicious person. So do, you
Now, let me urge you as an old friend
to vote for Hayes-a man you done
have to apologize for.
COMPLETION OF THE F1Rsr LINK
OF THE BLACK HILLS RA1LRoAp.-A
party of foreign capitalists, with officers
of the Covington, Columbus & Black
Hills railroad passed over the first
thirty miles Of the completed track to
Ponca, Nebraska, the 18th. The road
is three and a half feet gauge, was pro-
jected, built and equipped to the pres
ent terminus since the first of March
this year, and is the first link of the
projected route via the Black Hills
and National Park to Portland, Ore.
gon, Arrangements have been made to
complete $50 miles this year, and
reach the Black Hills in 1877.
GooD ADVICE TO FARMERS. We
occasionally hear of farmer who has
decided not to do any fall plowing.
Now we advise everybody to 90 right
on with their work just as they would
if they had never heard of a grass
hopper. Plow and drag you land,
tear out the cocoons, and expose them
to the sun and rain; in this way you
will destroy the greater part of them,
and we now have reason to hope that
what you do not destroy, their natural.
enemy, the little "parasite" will.
Don't indulge for one moment the
thought Of lying down and letting the.
'hoppers run over you. ''They thas
plow, shall reap'"-[Glencoe Register.
