What Makes a sea-shell Ring.

When a sea-shen is held up to ssthe
ear there is a peculiar Migratory noise
which children assured each other is the
roar of the sea, however distant they
may be from it. Philosophically inves-
tigated, the peculiar sound thus recog-
nized is a phenomenon that has puzzled
scholars for a long time. The expert
ment is easily made by pressing a spiral
shell over the cerebra of either ear. If
a large shell, the sound is very much
like that of a far-off cataract. Now,
what causes it2 Every muscle in the
body is in a state of tension. Some are
more on the stretch than others, and
particularly those of the finger. 1t is
conceded that the vibration of the fibers
of those in the fingers being commune
cative to the shell, it p~ropagates and in
tensifies them as the hollow body of the
violin does the vibration of its strings,

brother Moody has his little an

Brother Moody has his little annoy
ances as well as the rest of us. A few
days since, the Methodist organ of Bos-
ton summed up the results Of his work
there to date. He had not affected the
daily life of the city; culture worship
and mammon worship had not been pre-
ceptibly diminished; his converts had
failed to make themselves felt as a force
in the community; there was no such
general and solemn sense of the per-
sence of God as in one or two earlier
revivals. The Rev. Adirondack Murray
brings a still more serious charge against
the evangelist; nothing less than that
his whole teaching is impregnated with
daily heresy. The specification is that
he has substituted trust for faith.
Trust, according to the Rev. Adirondack
Murray, is a word which occurs only
sixteen times in the Epistles, has "no
wings or legs" and is unknown to gen.
uine orthodox theology.

The fool-kiIler is a chronic neglecter

on the musical gifts of the Secretary as

a boundless ysarning after the infini-
tude of soul affinity. Two or three have
even gone so far as to quote whole stan

of Geibel. Every last female of them

Men and women, before marriage,
are as figures and ciphers. The woman
is the cipher and counts for nothing till
she gets the figure of a husband beside
her, when she becomes of Importance
herself and adds tenfold to the sum :.ot
his. But this, it must be observed, &C.
ours only when she gets on the right
side of him, for when she shifts from
this position, he returns to his lesser
estate, and she to her original insight.

A Terrific Hail Storm.

Recent advices from the north verify
the account published in the THE
LEADER about the appalling hail storm
which occurred in the Grow camp at
the mouth Of Tongue river in the month
of June. AS they descended the Vel
lowstone they saw the cas of hun
dreds of Indian ponies which were
killed at the time. A guide and scout
named Campbell, who was in the Crow
camp when the storm happened, told
them that the hail, which descended in
cubes, cut through the leather cover
ing of the lodges, and disabled scores
of the Indians. Many of them would
have been killed outright had they not
wrapped themselves in blankets and
buffalo robes and covered their heads
with complexities.

A Queer Cross.

The Omaha Herald is authority for
the statement that an animal is on ex-
hibition at the office of the Eastern
Division Superintendent of the Union
Pacific r. r. which is attracting a good
deal of attention. Its head, which is
yet very immature, as the animal is
quite young, threatens to be as large as
a flour barrel, and there is quite a
buffalo cast to its c~ountenance. . 1t has
no hind legs at all, or they are SC
diminutive as hardly to be visible, the
animal ~propeIling itself entirely by its
fore legs, and dragging its body on the
ground. Astounding as the statement
may appear, the animal is pronounced
by judges to be a cross between a coyote
and a buffalo. Only two or three of the
species have ever been discovered, This
rare specimen is a present to Superin-
tendent Nichols from some of his west
ern friends.

Broncho Sam.

Among the many celebrities of the
Magic City there is non whose personal
characteristics and feats of prowess are
more widely known than those of
Broncho Sam. He is the champion
horse tanner, and is popularity supposed
to be able to ride anything that can
carry him, excepting, perhaps, a grizzly
bear. For a wager of ten dollars he
once vaulted from the high gateway of
a corral upon the back of the widest of
a herd of wild bronchos driven beneath,
and sat unmoved upon the bare backef
the astonished beast through all the
dangerous antics that the unbridled
broncho nature is capable of perform
ing. He has ridden a wild Texan bull
lock in a similar manner, and his
present ambition is to get a like chance
with a big buffalo bull, of which, judg-
ing from his past achievements we do
not doubt that he would prove: the
master. Sam is not altogether ungentle
with the subject brutes, and he is more
than usually successful in tanning them
without breaking their spirit.

Didn't Catch Them.

Deputy Sheriff Thos. F. Talbot re-
turned home last Thursday, after an
unsuccessful ride of six days on the
trail of the Slaughter uny murderers.
He travelled from here to Chase's ranch,
twenty-five miles northwest, thence
across the mountains to Fort Sanders,
thence southwest through the noun
tains to the northern end of North
Park, thence north to the head waters
of the Big Laramie, and then, consid-
ering further pursuit useless, he turned
about and came home via Fort Sanders.
Talbot says he never saw a military
nan who seemed SC anxious to aid civil
officers in the performance of duty as
was Col. A. G. Bracket, commandant
at Fort Sanders. He furnished fresh
horses, rations, and everything needed
for a hard, long ride, and was sorry he
could not do more. The sergeant major
of the Fifth Cavalry, and the two
privates from the regiment, who accom-
panied Talbot, are entitled to the high
est praise for their assistance and good
Offices.

Black Hills Pineries.

There is no doubt but what in time
the pineries of Michigan and Wisconsin
WILDE exhausted and theentire west will
have to look up other sources of supply.
At present the supply exceeds the de-
mand, and causes a %stagnatlon in the
lumber interests at Chicago as well as
at minor points along the great lakes,
but these facts do not multiply the
number Of acres Of pine lands, or les.
sen the ultimate demand which will
o M o. later take place. 1t is com
forting, in looking owe this lumber
question, to know that the great Black
Hills country is covered with a deuse
forest of pine trees, sufficient to supply
the demand west of the Missouri river
for all time to come, and will eventu.
ally become a source of great wealth
to this section. What we need is Q
railroad, or several Of them, to enable
us to ship out of these Hills millions Of
feet of lumber at figures that will com
pete with eastern markets, and there j:
no reason why this branch of industry
cannot be made q lucrative one. Tht

After the adjournment Of the City
Council, yesterday, the committee on
streets and alleys, to whom the matter
had been referred, instructed Mr.. E. J.
Copeland to begin on Monday next the
work of numbering all buildings in the
city in accordance with the, plans Sub.
mitted by him at the meeting.
The initial point will be the corner of
18th and Ferguson streets, each lot
having its number, whether there be a
building upon it or not. The first
number on Ferguson street will be 255,
the numbers increasing to the west
ward. y
The first number ON Fifteenth street
will be 1852, the figures increasing
toward the lake and decreasing toward
Crow creek. All buildings on n side
of the streets will have alternate even
numbers and all on the opposite side
will have alternate odd numbers. ola
The cost Of this numbering is to be
paid by individuals. The price of the
sample numbering plate presented by
Mr.. Copeland (tin, painted black, the
figures in gold is 25 cents, and as all
can afford this it is hoped that none
will refuse to pay it. ~ - Il -
