Almost u Fight,

Loud words and angry demonstra
tons between a couple of belligerent
individuals at the Corner attracted the
usual crowd yesterday. The spectators
waited patiently for the would-be COM
batants to get their courage up to the
fighting pitch, but beyond indulging
IN a little self-praise over their respect
i've abilities to whip a regiment of men,
and depreciation of their opponents
capacity, they failed 10 perform any
startling or blood-thirsty feats. Officer
Mckee put in an appearance, and his
presence was like pouring oil on the
troubled waters. The assemblsge dis
persed disappointed at the lack of a
sensation.

AN UNNECESSARY COMMISSION.
indianapolis Sentinel.l

For over eighty years Congress has eXer-
cised the power of counting the Electoral
votes and determining who had been elect
ed President and Vice-President, and we
think it is yet equal to the task. 1t seems
to us to be unnecessary to create a commits
sion to be composed in part of persons not
members of either branch of the National
Legislature to determine whom the people
elected last November, and while We are
h~opefulthat an amicable solution OF one of
the most difficult problems that were ever
submitted to a deliberative body is near At
hand. there are some features in the plan
proposed by the joint committee well calcu-
lated to arouse apprehensions. It is to be
hoped that the committees deliberations,
the fruits of which are to be seen in the bill
submitted to Congress, will result in the COM
plete defeat OF the fraudulent purposes of
conspirators and vindicate the majesty of the
expressed will Of the people and the digni-
ty of the ballot-boXsthW we are quite free to
padnait that Morton,ss hostility to the plan
upon BY the committee is primaJd
4cie evffence Of fts merits, but we prefer to
aaalyze the provisions of the bill somewhat
more carefully before giving them our I'M
quaiifiedindorsement, though we are quite
willing to admit that under all circum-
stances the labors of the committee more
than realize the expectations of the most
sanguine.

A Lady Farmer i'm Colorado.

Situated on one of the short creeks
that rise in the Sangra de Christie range
of Mountains, is the farm of Mrs. +. j.
Travis. The early Spanish settlers
gave the creek the euphonious name of
San Isabel, which it still retains, al
though by many it is known as Travis
Greek, the family having acquired as
homestead and, by preemption right,
from the mountain to where the creek
spreads out into vegas on the San Luis
Valley. For a distance of seven or eight
miles from the foot hills, San Isabel is
well wooded with cottonwood, birch
and willow, affording shelter to cat
tie, and making a .wind-break for the
country on either side. The bottom
land is well adapted to agricultural pur-
poses, and the best of grain ana gar
den products are raised, which find
market in the adjacent mining camps.
Mrs. Travis's residence is among the
first in the valley, is planned with taste,
and view to comfort as well as conve-
~nience, it is furnished in good style,
with large double parlors, coy sitting
rooms and dining-rooms on the first
floor, the bay windows giving the build
ing a stylish appearance in striking con-
trast with many. The second floor is
occupied with sleeping apartments,
neatly finished and furnished with tasty
furniture. Located in a grove of patri-
archal cottonwoods, it not only presents
a striking and inviting appearance, but
the reality is found within the hospita-
BILE Travis mansion. Mrs. I. has no
superior as a ~housekeeper and agreea-
bic hostess, as the many who have ex-
perienced her courtesies will willingly
bear witness. Its not alone as a polite
and attentive hostess that Mrs. Travis
is noted; she has proved a most success
full manager of a large hay and grain
farm and herd of several hundred cattle
and horses. No herd of stock is better
cared for or is more profitable than the
Travis herd, and her example may well
be cited by the advocates of woman suf-
frage as a most powerful one.-Sa-
Quuche Chronicle.

Making the Wilderness Howl.

At half-past II o'clock yesterday fore
noon a span of half-starved horses, at
tached to a covered wagon, halted at
the curbstone on Gratiot Street, and
the driver bought some oats at a feed
store and placed them before the ami
mails, while he and his wife proceeded
to make q cold lunch. They had a
stove in the wagon. and were moving
themselves and a few articles of value
to some other cline. At noon three or
four ~iourneymen blacksmiths, working
in a shop nea the wagon, came out and
began poking fun at the old woman,
who was the only one in sight in the
vehicle. She kept her temper for a
while, but when 3 SNOWFALL struck her
in the ear she called out:
"If you want De Soto to come down
there and break 2 few heads, you'd bet
ter keep this thing up!"
"Who's De Soto?" "Show us the
man who discovered the Mississippi
River!" yelled the men.
De Soto got down overt the end board.
He looked to be about 40 years old, and
it was plain that he had fight in him.
He leaned on one of the wheels, and
chewed crackers and looked the crowd
in the eyes, while his wife stuck her
head out and remarked:
awe don't want to pick a fight, but
we can't be imposed on!"
sis that your youngest child?" called
out n of the journeymen-
"Be keerful! - she replied. SHE'S
the man who has made the wilderness
howl, and you'd better move on!"
Seeing fun ahead, some one in the
background tossed up an old tin-pan,
which came down fair and square on
De Soto's head. He spit out his crack
er, pulled off his big comforter, and
the wife leaned out OF the wagon and
said:
"Wade right into the crowd, hub
by!"
He waded. One of the journeymen
met him at the curbstone, and in about
a minute the man who had made the
wilderness howl had craWled under his
wagon for safety. The woman jumped
down and saw him under there, and was
satisfied that he was a licked man. His
nose banged around, one eye closing,
and his upper lip was as big as an
apple-core.
What's the matterP" she asked as
she peered at him between the spokes OF
the hind wheel.
"Licked!" he softly replied.
She felt that some explanation was
demanded, and turning TO the lcrowd
said: % .-.t.. ,s.y4
ard have bet our huh outfit on him,
but I own up that he's walloped. Yov
see, we lived up in the woods, and be-

INSTANTANEOUS FEELING OF RELIEF.
Boston Post.

The final opening of the door to a peace
full settlement Of the. Presidential dispute
so needlessly raised by Chandler. Cameron
and Morton, with the aid Of their chosen
lieutenants, brings an instantaneous feeling
of relief to the whole country.
These provisions are remarkably fair and
just to both parties. II not so, the plan re-
ported by the committee can not be expect
ed to be adopted by Congress, nor would it
be acceptable to the country. The plan is
not ia accordance with the views Of eXtrem.
lists on either side. But if by it's adoption
substantial justice can be done, a deadlock
OF the two Houses be prevented, and the
public mind be put at rest and ease, the
country will be relieved from an unex-
pected and difficult dilemma, n provision
can be made hereafter for such permanent
legislation or the subject as the wisdom and
cool judgment OF a future Congress may es-
tablish. 1t must by this time be obvious
that scarcely any ether form Of harmoniza-
ton could be adopted. . In calling
in the auxiliary and confirmatory judg-
ment OF the Supreme Court, whatever is to
be said against drawing that tribunal into
the arena Of politics, there is far higher rea-
son and wisdom than in letting things drift
into the inevitable guilt which the wreckers
of free government had prepared for their
own selfish ends.

An advantage over ordinary tea,
attributed to mate tea of Paraguay, is
that it's excessive use does not occasion
any nervous disorder. a beverage SUI
peri0r to coffee as usually prepared is
said to have been introduced into Aus
tralia lately. 1t il made from the leaf
OF the cotfee-shrub, instead of from the
berry.
Grapes have been raised in such
quantities in California that they are q
mere drug in the market, and some
farmers are pulling up their vines in
disgust. One man, however, finds it
profitable to raise them to fatten swine
with. La the vicinity of one town four
farmers have just sown about LOCO
acres each with wheat. The harvest
is in May or June.
1t is proposed by an American COM
paDy to introduce fur-seals from Alaska
into Lake Superior. The temperature
OF the lake is regarded as cold enough,
and a petition will be presented to the
Canadian Parliament and the American

slaughter for 20 years. At the end of
that period it is supposed the animals
will be acclimatized, ard have accumu-
lated SO as to afford valuable sport.

A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT DEMANDED.
louisville Evening Naval

The fact that the plan is supported by
such Democratic statesmen as Senators
Thurman, Bayard and RANSOM affords
strong grounds for the approval of it by the
Democratic masses. The eXigencies Of the
demand the adoption of some pacifca-
tory measure that shall honorably solve the
perilous issue presented. All the interests
of the republic call for a peaceful settle
ment. War may become d necessity, but it
is an extremity that every patriot should
strive to avert; and while maintaining I'M
talteringly the rights and liberties Of the
people, tue statesmen can not disregard the
duty to exhaust every practical
bic means OF escape from a calamity, the re-
Of which would likely subvert not
only the Presidency but the republic itself.
