Debating SDcielY.

1t is whispered that some of Il in
tellectual youth propose to form a de-
batting society in Eureka. We are glad
to hear of it. 1t is an interesting and en-

less they can grasp some opportunity

that is the inherent and overpowering
modesty of Eureka boys. We have
seen the conscious blush mantle their
cheeks when forced 10 cry 'keno" in
a crowded room, or whistle a cat-call
at a variety show, but this tilnidity
can be overcome by practice. There
are very few towns this side of the
Mississippi river where these institu-

tree, and where problems that have
puzzled the brains of the wisest men.

THE BEAST.

The Virginia Enterprise says: The
worst thing ever done was to turn
loose upon this community Charles
Huff. 1t has either given the hang
man or Coroner or a Vigilance Com
mit:ee a job, probably the latter. He
comes here with the odor of death all
over him and with his soul reeking
with the foul murderfo which he was
sentenced to twenty-one years and
which he should have served out. His
killing Of William Riley in this city
was a murder most foul, and one for
which now he would be made to swing
in a black-cap. He has commenced
his ruffianism again in this city. Early
Friday morning he got into an alterca-
ton with one w. Madden. near the
corner of D and Union streets. He in
troduced himself to those present as
one who could lick any nan in the
crowd. He then picked outthe small
est and weakest, a mere boy, named
William Madden. and called him vile
names. The boy resented it by a
square knock-down. Huff arose. re-
newed the quarrel, and VAS again
knocked down. In the. enconter
which followed he closed with his
young but manly antagonist, and snc-
ceeded in getting Madden's thumb in
his mouth and bit it clean to the bone.
He then, like a a wild beast, tore the
flesh and nail off, inhicting a terrible
looking wound. Here the bystanders
interfared and took Huff off. The
spirit prevalent in this community at
this time is not such as to tolerate this
beast among us. He must be either
Gagged, killed or forced to leave.

An Exciting Bird Hunt.

An ounce and a half Of canary bird
created considerable commotion and
amusement yesterday afternoon. 1t
escaped from it's cage at the residence
of Judge Cole, on Paul street, and
flew off in the direction of Prospect
mountain. A short time afterward it
was discovered fluttering about the
upper windows of the Odd Fellows
Hall, and a Young urchin tried to cap.
ture IL by hi ting it with a rock. This
sort of sport alarmed the truant song
ster and away it flew and was not
heard of again until about five O'Clock,
when he was e~pied by some one on
Spring street, and the chase for its cap
turo commenced. The pursuers null
tip!ied in numbers, and in less than
five minutes the crowd of boys hunt
ing the runaway bird was augmented
by the arrival of two lawyers and a
bare headed Congressman who joined
in the pursuit. The bird seemed to
enjoy the sport and flew into the ditch
to see if any of its pursuers would
follow it. One of the attorneys rushed
up the street to procure a board to get
down in the ditch, and just as he start
ed Oft with it he was cOllared by a fe-
male who demanded the restitution OF
her property. The legal gentleman
had to stop to explain, and finally,
after Introducing himself and giving
his pedigree, convinced the owner of
the board hat his intentions were hon
orable and that the plank would be
returned. The bird in the meantime
helped itself out of the ditch and flew
into a woodpile in the rear Of the Cos
m%opolitan clearinghouse. The crowd
removed each stick carefully, and just
when a little boy reached out his hand
to pick up the bird-it wasn't there,
and had sought refuge in another pile
of wood. Here the chase ended and
Congressman Wren succeeded in cap
turing the canary and returned it 10
its mistress, Mrs. F. w. Cole.

A Mail Route to TybO.

Tybo with all its brilliant prospects,
its eight hundred inhabitants, its
mines overlooking with richness, fur
naces and mills, labors under a disad-
vantage which its c~itizens call upon
the General Government to speedily
remedy. A mai" route is demanded,
and, in justice to the residents, one
should be established from Eureka to

Eureka office, is delivered in Tybo by
the courtesy of the owners of the
stage line, who have received no COM
pensation from the Government for
the service performed. An arrange
ment was made sometime since where
by the citizens were to subscribe GER
tain amounts of money, payable
monthly, but this proved an entirely
inadequate recompense and only lasted
for a short time. and unless some ar
rangement is made to pay for the car
rying of the mail the people will soon
be without any means OF having their
letters delivered to them. The citizens
are moving to get up a petition, recit-
ing the above facts and asking Con-
gress to establish such a route. 1t will
be too late to do anything during the
present session of Congress, but on the
assembling of that body next month,
our State Representative, Hon. Thos.
Wren, who succeeds Congressman
WOODBURY., will be solicited to urge
the attention of the Postmaster Gen.
eral to the necessity of such a route
being established, and the citizens of
that portion of the State provided with
the same facilities as has been granted
less important locations. 1t Is a mat
ter that should be promptly at
tended to.

Letter From PaIfsade.

As a usual thing we glide along
without a ripple to stir the surface of
our everyday life, and consequently,
whenever anything happens out of the
beaten track, we enjoy it hugely. Sun
day evening was a red letter point in
the monotonous round of daily cares
and struggles in Palisade. The Skid
mores are an aggregation of local
talent who have done very much
to enliven and amuse us in this Sec
ton, and, as their entertainments are
usually for the benefit of some char
table institution, their efforts to please
have been well received. On Sunday
evening they dropped in on orr little
village. bringing with them their in
struments, and Don after their arrival
sweet sounds of music echoed from the
mountain sides and awoke the ci liens
with the unwonted melody. Now, a
serenade to you blase denizens of the
county metropolis is an event that
scarce calls for passing notice. but we
do not enjoy the same facilities, and
make much of an incident ofthis kind.
We turned out Of our beds, that is, the
male part of the population, and well
coined the Skidmores with a hearth
ness that %betokened our appreciation of
the compliment. Mr.. Hogle invited
them TO his house, and wine flowed as
freely as water. Adjourning from
there to the depot, the band opened
underneath Mr.. Ford's window, and
that gentleman responded by produce
ing a suspicious looking dernljohn, the
contents of which were sampled and
pronounced tirst-class. From this the
fun grew fast and furious, and on the
arrival of the train we parted from our
entertainers with mutual regret. The
gentlemen composing the SkidmOres
present on the occasion, were MeSSrS.

are tre>passing on your patience, but
we desire to return thanks to our jolly
visitors. and express the hope that
this will be only The first of a series of
visits.
There is very little local news here
worth chronicling. We congregate
daily on the arrival of the passenger
trains, and take notes of any dislir-

A Warm Subject.

There was a social circle drawn up
around Hank Knights stove the 9TH
er evening, discussing the Electoral
Commission, Cronin's vote and other
exciting topics, and enjoying the cheer
full heat thrown out from the big box
stove and its blazing contents. There
were two or three lawyers included in
the circle, and, as a matter of course,
they came very near monopolizing the
conversation. At this stage of the pro.
ceilings, a tall, gaunt-looking Hoosier
sauntered in, looking for a chance to
warm his shins. Nobody moved, how
ever. and, unable to sit down, he
leaned back against the wall ard eyed
the circle sOurly. He soon attracted
the attention of the group, and n of
the disciples Of Coke proceeded to
quiz him, first tipping a knowing
wink to his comrades.

of tobacco juice at a spittoon a yard
away, with an accuracy only aquired
by long practice. you'll find them

Two Buggy Robes.

Some time since a nan named j. L .
Davis hired a buggy and team at
Sweeney's for the purpose of driving
over to Pinto and back. On his return
the animals became frightened, ran
away, and upsetting the buggy left it
on the road while they continued their
course toward town. Davis did the
best he could to get things righted
again but did not succeed. When the
the vehicle was overturned there were
two fine robes in it, but while he was
hunting for the animals they disap-
peared and were not beard OF until
yesterday. Davis has been searching
for the missing robes from the day of
the accident, and yesterday struck a
trail that led to their recovery. Pro-
curing a search warrant, in company
with Constable Mckay, he proceeded to
the stables of Bishop & Carpenter and
searched the bedding and traps of a one
armed man named Hawlev, who keeps
a cam at the above stables. One OF
the ropes was found in his bedding,
the other in a sack. Hawley was ar
rested by tie officer and gave bonds
for fifty dollars for his appearance to-
day for trial, G. G. Carpenter and J.T.
Wilson becoming his sureties. He
says he found the robes on the road,
did not know to whom they belonged
o had never heard Of any one losing
such articles. The casa will be fully
ventilated this afternoon at l O'Clock,
the time set for the trial. Hawle y has
been engaged in the wood business in
own some time, and when i'll town
keeps his team and bedding at the
above stable, which accounts for the
properly being found at that place.
