A WILD MAN IN NEBRASKA.

The Fremont (Neb. Tribune contains
an article giving the details OF the dis
coyery o! wild man in that vicinity.
Two young men were out hunting water
fowls when tney came upon the strange
being. He was just emerging from a
clump OF trees and underbrush when
they caught glimpse of him. HIS dress
was in the most primitive style, consist
ing of a wooden shirt. He had stick in
his hand which he swung around his
mead as ii striking at something he saw
in the air, and uttering the while a sharp,
unearChly noise. Like q wild animal, he
was constantly on sharp lookout,
nervously looking this way aud that, as
his ear detected the least unusual noise
or his eye noticed the shaking Of a reed
or any thing that was the least ex-
traordinary. After few moments he
squaLted on his launches under a tree
and began to dig in the ground with his
hands and the stick, occasionally carry
ing something to his mouth which he
seemed to be eating. The boys became
more interested in the strange being
than in the object of their hunt, and
crawled cautiously toward hun until
near enough to satisfy their curiosity.
He was digging roots and FEEDING upon
them. As nearly as they could judge
from appearance, he was about forty or
forty five years Of age, OF strong and
bony frame; his hair was so long as TO
lall in snarls over his bronzed and dirty
shoulders; his beard, like mis- hair, long
and shaggy, and his entire body covered
with growth OF hair which could not
have been less than an inch long. His
| complexion must have been originally
light, as his hair was of q lightish Drown,
Aner viewing him a short time they
concluded to retreat. After going q fe W
Steps the monster sprang up ana stared
|intently at them. becoming frightened
ne spi lng into the Platte CROSSED oveI
70 Little Island and disappeared in itt
thick underbrush.

TERRIBLE cALAMITIEs.
Two Great Mountain sIips In the Tyrol.

In It'll terrible calamity Of this ma
ture betell the little village Of Alleghe,
situated on the banks OF the river Corr
devole, not far from the town OF Caprile
in the Tyrol. The district was fertile
ana beautiful one, with several scat
tered villages surrounded by orchards
and cornhelds, and protected from the
fierce blasts OF winter by the range OF
high mountains, which were at once its
safeguard and its peril. At the base Of
one Of the loftiest of this great range,
called Monte Pezza, stood the village oi

Fire

At a recent fire in tenament house in New
York several persons were very seriously
burned--one or two almost to death. The only
prompt and effectual relief obtained was by
the free use of Ponds Extract, which proved
in this case. as in hundreds of others of less
severity, u specific. The Two who were thought
to be fatally burned are almost entirely re-
covered, and almost free from even any marks.
Children who are always blundering into ac-
cidents, and are fortunate enough to have
tried Ponds Extract, instantly run for the
bottle for every bruise, burn. cut, ETC., etc
There is no household remedy SO easy and safe
of application, and so effectual. Keep quar-
| bottle in your house.

proper; and then confirm or reject as fit
| nj ess or unfitness shall be made to ap-
pear. This is their junction; and the
whole of it. But, when Senators form
themselves into a ring to control ap-
pointments by mutually agreeing to
confirm only such as may be acceptable
to the Senators OF the State from which
the nomination is ma lie, in order to as
sist each other in their respective
States, it is q combination little short
oil treasonable. 1t is a combination to
set the Executive at defiance. 1t is a
combination to usurp prerogatives
lodged BY the Constitution in another
branch OF the Government. But recent
ly they sat as nigh Court of Impeach-
ment on the arraignment Of President
Tor violating the ''Tenure OF Office Law"
Why, then, would not such violation OF
the same law as is now practiced by
themselves be also impeachable? But, we
can not impeach Senator. He is not
'tcivil officer" under the law.
There is, nevertheless, a tribunal
where even Senators may be arraigned
and held to answer for such abuse Of
trust and usurpation of power. That
tribunal is the people. At that forum
they can not plead their Senatorial
privilege nor want Of jurisdiction.
| There the verdict is final and irreversi-
BILE.
We are glad to see that check is
likely to be made by President Hayes
on this Senatorial usurpation of the
Executive prerogatives. When Repub
lican Senators call to intimate to hin
his lack of recognition of their ''claims'
to control the appointments in theil
respective States, and hint the with
drawal of their support OF his admins
tration unless he cnncedes this power
to them, and will reject the nominations
made by himself alone, they are mos
courteously informed thai it is for then
to reject, but for himself to nominate.
BY this proper Constitutional rule
Senators must take the responsibility o
rejections; and this responsibility /
precisely what they dislike. For, Sena
tors we'll know that the men who re
oeive the Presidents nomination, an
are rejected by the Senators from thei
own State, are not very likely to rise u
against the President and work for th
Senator'S by whom they were rejected
But, if rejected TOR cause showl
then the responsibility of nominatio
rests on the President. And this
right. Such distribution of respons
bility is precisely what the Constitutio
provided for; and If observed, will wor
infinite good to the public service Of th
country. And hereafter, whether th
administration OF the Government
Republican or Democratic, we trust thi
rule will be persevered in. And all I'll

THE GIRLS AT WINDSOR.
What Charles Sumner Saw and Heard Around
the Castle.

the Castle.
Mr.. Rich, one Of the gentlemen of the
bed-chamber OF the Queen, was XII nd
enough TO invite him to Windsor Castle.
He writes: 81 went down to breakfast, 9,
where we had young Murray (the head OF
the household), Lord Surrey, etc. Lord
Byron (successOr of the poet OF the peer
age) VINO, you know, was captain in
the navy, is a pleasant, rough fellow who
has not many OF the smooth turns OF the
courtier. He came rushing into the
room where we were, crying out, This
day ia a sneezer; it is rum one, indeed.
Will her Majesty go out to-day? Lord
surrey hopeu she would not, unless she
rode at the 'slapping pace at which she
went the day before, which was twenty
miles in two hours. You understand
that her suite accompanied the
Queen in her equestrian excur-
sions. Lord Byron proposed to
breakfast with us, but they
told him he must 60 up stairs and break
fast with 'the gals'-meaning the ladies
OF the bedchamber aud maids of honor,
Countess Of Abermarle, Lady Byron,
Lady Littleton, Mrs. Cavendish, etc
The ladies OF the household breakfast by
themselves, and sometimes Her Majesty
comes in ana joins them, though she gea.
orally breakfasts quite alone; the gentle.
men Of the household also breakfast by
themselves. Very soon Lord Byron
came bouncing down, saying: Murray
"tne gals" say there is nothing but stale
eggs in the castle.' Again The ladies
sent a servant to Murray (who, have
said, was the head OF the royal Rouse
hold), complaining that there was M
Scotch marmaIade. Murray said IL was
very strange, as very slort time agt
he paid lor seven hundred pots OF 1t
