Lost in the FinericS.

A Wisconsin paper gives us an account
of two men being lost in the pineries OF
that State, and the experience of the
men while lost. The two were French
men, and started ont to look up home
! steads. They got lost i'll the dense forest
and separated. When found they had
been wandering for q full week. One Of
them, Ducro by name, was sitting on a
! log. He had succeeded i'll taking off one
of his boots, and was trying to take off
his pants, as he said he couldn't walk
fast enough with them on. They brought
him out, and with the exception of his
toes being slightly frozen, and the backs
of his hands, he was to all appearances
. seemingly as we'll as ever physically,
though sadly demoralized in his mind.
! Duero had both feet badly frozen. He
had Oh his calfskin boots, but no socks,
and his sufferings must have been ter
rible.
They seem to believe they met lots of
people, and saw lots Of houses and camps,
and that every II was mean to them,
and would not let them come i'll and
warm. Butler said: "Why, I stayed all
night ut a camp, andthere were forty-tivc
men and fifteen women. The ONE all
stood in the corners, and the men
wouldn't let me sleep OF warm myself,
and in the morning I offered $3.50 for a
piece of bread as large rs my hand, and
they said they needed all their bread, and
wouldn't give me any," Ducro imagined
he was in a city, and could see the men
drinking and playing billiards, and
man was lying on n bed, and Ducro
thought he tried to get in the bed, and
every time he did SO the man kicked him
out.
The facts in the case are these: He
wandered into q windfall, and the up
turned roots he took for houses, and
there are marks of his fists where he
pounded upon their (as he supposedly
doors. He walked back and forth all
night beside q large pine that had fallen
and was upheld by its roots i'll such a
way that it was about on a level with his
head, and that was what he supposed was
the bed and man in it, rs there were more
than fifty prints Of his hands in the snow
on top of the tree, made byhim in cndcav-
oring to get into bed Gas he supposedly.

Tic Centennial Receipts.

Messrs. Patterson, Lewis, Gill and the
State National bank OF Camden, and the
amount claimed to be due the United
States by Assistant Treasurer Eyster,
and specifies the conditions which are at
tached t. the government appropriation

after the payment Of debts, there remains

ton, and the said balance is insufficient
to pay the stockholders. The defendants
claim the balance should be distributed

and Assistant Treasurer Eystcr claims
for the government 81, sec, 900 out of the
said balance. The board sny they have
no interest in this balance, but, in order

Ireland rs a Nation.

In the United States House of Repre-
sentatives the Speaker said that he had
information that there was a gentleman
in Washington who was the bearer to the
people of the United States of a commu-
n~ication from the Irish nation, congratu-
luting the American people i'll this their
centennial year.
Mr.. Holman Dem }, of Indiana, there
upon rose and asked unanimous consent
to offer Il resolution, reciting that Mr.. j.
O'Connor Power, NJ. P, had been de-
puted to present to the people OF the
United States the congratulations of the
Irish nation on the centenary of Ameri-
can independence, and referring the sub
iect of his mission to the committee on
foreign affairs, with Instructions to re-
port what action should be taken in the
premises.
MI. Townsend (Rep.), of New York,
suggested to Mr.. Holman the use of the
word "pcople" instead of "nation."
Mr.. Holman expressed his opinion that
the term "nation" was not iaappropri-
ate, and lie hoped that the objection
would not be pressed.
Mr.. Townsend-I do not object. I
am in favor of the resolution, at any
rate.
Mr.. Holman-There is a sense in
; which the term "nation " is properly ap-
piled to the Irish peop!'
Mr.. Hoar (Rep.), of Massachusetts,
What is the national authority of the
Irish people?
MI. Holman THE communication
comes from that part of the Irish people
who now reside within the limits of Ire
land. Their representative is deputed
by them as Il people to express their con-
gratulations on the close of the first cell
tury of American independence.
MI. Hoar-In what mode is the depu-
tation made or authenticated?
MI. Holman-That is one of the sub
jccts properly referred to the committees
on foreign affairs.
MI. Hoar-The resolution makes the
House allege as fact that this gentleman
| who offers this resolution does not, rs /
understand, know it. Ny question is
| Who dcputed this gentleman; what is
the national authority? Suppose the
Irish nation should say next week eve
did not deputc him." what evidence is
there that they did?
MI. Ho)man-Thc technical point is
clear enough.
MI. Hoar-Say, said to be deputed.
Mr.. Hnlmmn-But inasmuch as the
term "nation" may be used synonymous
ly with "peoplc,"I trust that the reso-
luton will be adopted in its present
form.
The objection not being pressed, the
resolution was adopted.

An ingenious pamphlet has been writ
ten by a German on improvements in
war. Believing that war is but a natural
outbreak of the pent-up forces of hui.
mainly, which must from time to time
occur, he proceeds to show that its hor.
rors are in great measure due to the in
juries inflicted on peaceful civilians by q
wanton destruction of life and prop
erty. War, the writer maintains, if
properly conducted, should in no way
affect non-combatants, except in SO far as
they suffer by reason of bereavements
and, moreover, much may be done to
make it less disagreeable to actual COM
batants. With this view, he suggests
that some neutral territory be set aside
by the European powers, and devoted
entirely to bloodshed. No fighting is,
under any pretense whatever, to take
place cut Of this territory, which is to be
fitted up for war in the most elaborate
fashion. There is to be a training school
for nurses, a college for surgeons, and
large hospitals. Prisoners of wal will be
confined in suitable buildings specially
prepared for their accommodation. There
are also to be vast cemeteries, and depots
for artificial limbs, etc. These con7en-
fences will be open to all nations wishing
to fight at fixed and reasonable charges.
Weapons of every description-and in
fact all the appliances for war-may be
bought or hired; but no credit is given,
and the charges for battlefields are to be
paid before the first gun is fired. All
profits after payment of expenses will be
devoted to the maintenance of the widows
and orphans of tho fallen.

At the Polls.

A correspondent of the London IImcs,
who was sufficiently interested in the de-
tails of the election to 60 to the polling
places in New York city and take notes
during the day, rccoumts this incident
A voter insisted, in spite of all rclnon-
strnnccs, on challenging the others vote,
on the ground that he had been betting
about the result of the elections. He
had, however, a very easy remedy ; he
had only to p%criure himself, and swear
on the Bible that he had not bctted. All
the same, he evidently did not like the
process, and took the Bible with n some
what anxious face and unsteady hand, as
if he were unplcasantly in the dark about
it's natural properties, and did not know
whether it might not be SO constructed
as to explode when touched by his lying
lips. The man was not only perjurlng
himself, but knew that everybody present
knew he was p~erjuring himself. How
ever, anything was better than losing his
vote, and so he took the oath i'll the pre-
scribed form, and then, as he went out,
relieved his feelings by q volley of oaths
of q less unfamiliar kind, mingled with
threats of what he would do to his chal-
lenger if he ever caught him alone.

What Il War Would BE.

The Chicago Tribune discusses the
unpleasant theme of Il war for the settle
ment of n Presidential election, and asks
what sort of wal it would be. This Is its
answer to its own question:
The people who engage II such a wal
must enroll themselves i'll two orSanlza-
tons of rifle clubs all over the country.
Every ward i'll every city will have its
opposing organizations. Tie men who,
during the recent campaign, carried
banners and torches, and hurrahcd for
Hayes and Tildcn, would furnish the
staple of these clubs. The farmers would
enroll themselves in rival shotgun organi-
cations, and these clubs, Indian fashion,
would seek out each other, killing, burn
ing, and plundering. 1t would Of ncccs.
sity be a war of massacre, determination,
rapine and coniagration. In the large
cities these armed mobs would destroy
property and lay them in ashes. Mills,
]granaries and warehouses, containing the
very means of subsistence, would be
burned. Railroads would be broken
and telegraph lines severed. Banks
would be robbed and private houses
plundered. The governments funds
would be stolen from revenue offices and
custom houses. Police would be dis
banded and criminals turned loose to
prey upon society. All ever the United
States one class of citizens would be mr.
rayed against the other-fathers against
sons, brothers against brothers, friends
against friends, and members of church
es against each other, az in the South
American republic.

HydroDllObia's Horrors.

Albert Hemp, of Jersey City, was bit
ten by n Spitz dog some days ago. Young
Kemp frequently said that he was not
well, and one Sunday morning expert
enced q constantly increasing difficulty
in breathing. When he began to eat
and drink he swallowed laboredly. At
midnight a spasm shook him violently.
His mouth began to fill with saliva al
most rs white and thick rs cotton. This
he spat in every direction SO strongly
that it reached the ceiling and the walls.
In the endeavor to clear his mouth of
this choking saliva he uttered sounds
that to his horror stricken relatives
seemed like the growl of a small dog, and
then like the snap of q ferocious dog, and
st four o'clock on Monday afternoon he
died.
"Young Klemp," said DR.. Gilman,
"died of hydrophobia. When [ first
saw him he breatied with great difficulty,
elected thick white saliva, resulting from
the disturbing effect of the hydrophobic
poison upon the nervation of the mouth,
called out that the doors must be kept
shut, and had spaslns closely following
each other. Excepting when raked by a
spasm, he was conscious. He had no
fever. His pulse was settled at $50, and
he pcrspired 80 rs to mOistcn his cloth
ing. AS soon as VIC learned that he had
been bitten by Il dog, We decided to use
woorara. We injected it beneath the
skin of the left arm. At once he said he
felt better. We repeated the injection,
and he said that he felt still more i'm
proved. After the injection had been
again repeated, the gathering OF saliva
in his mouth lessened, and the spasms
were less strong and frequent. Had he
been a lad of much vital force, and had
the woorara been injected in season, it is
probable that he might have lived. But
he was of slight Fundamentally slight
for his agc-and of little force. There
fore the racking of the spasms soon e1-
haustcd what he had.

is to pay for the white paper and post

reaches 100, 900 or more circulation. their
advertising will pay the profit. While

A Cunning Fox.

A farmer Of York, Pa, recently set o
trap to catch a cunning fox which had
been annoying him considerably by its
midnight visits among the poultry. At
fourteen successive visits to it he
found the trap sprung, q stick of
wood between its jaws, and the
bait eaten up. The circumstance,
so often repeated, surprised him. There
were no other tracks to be seen but his
own and those of the fox, and who sprung
the trap was a question that puzzled him
sorely. BY continuing to rebait his
trap he hoped to catch the author of the
mischief. On the fifteenth night he
found q fine old fox hung to it by the
nose, and in his mouth was a stick of
wood.
