some one gives the following table of the or

pressure of hard times: "Books 60 first-ths
book trade fattens under a panic illustrated

pressure continues, the trade in pianos and fine
furniture falls of, but the laboring classes begin
to contract on the furniture from. the start.
Next it begins TO cut off fine clothes and jewery,
and then it's getting pretty tight. Put on anoth-

fine groceries; and then the incest kind of pro-

A SHARP GAME DETEcTED.-While in Hend
ricks County, few days since, We learned Of
another swindle that is going the rounds. Thu
article by means of which the fraud is perpetra-
ted is called hog holder-an instrument for
holding hogs while they are being ringed to pre-
vent roofing. A blank order is produced and
the farmer is persuaded to sign it, and as usual,
he soon finds himself in for the payment of :
sum of money varying from SIS to $50. Six or
seven farmers that we heard of had signed their
names, and were bound for the payment Of
enough money each to supply themselves with
good agricultural papers for the remainder of
their lives.-Iadiana Farmer.

We publish an account, taken from the
Rapid City Journal, of the trial and acquit-
tai Of the Indian murderer "Whip" in the
United States court for the Black Hills dis
trict stolid refusal Of the Indian Wit
nesses to know anything about the affair
has saved the neck of the most consnmmate
red william that ever ate government rations
He belongs at Cheyenne agency and his
murder Of sick soldier at that post some
two years ago was wholly unprovoked and
treacherously cruel. The soldier was excr-
cising himself by taking walk in the vicin-
ity Of the hospital when the Indian, who
was laboring under some fancied grievance,
approached him in an apparently friendly
manner and without any warning thrust a
knife into bis vitals. This fact was clearly
established, yet it could not be placed before
the jury in a legal way because the Indian
witnesses would not tell what they knew.
So "Whip" goes free, though an acknowl.
edged murderer.

THE NATIONAL BIRD.

A Change lmperntfvely Necessary.
The Hon. George w. Peck, in his Fourth
Of July Grafton ut La Crosse, SAID:
1t may have been noticed that thus far l
have made allusion to the American eagle,
the nation trade mark, patent applied for,
but it is not that do not appreciate the
position that species of poultry occupies on
those occasions. The poet, alluding to the
eagle, says:
Bird Of the broad and tleeting wing,
Thy home is high in heaven.
This is too true. He is high old bird,
and the committee that selected the eagle as
a national emblem should have been arrest.
ed for disorderly conduct. o. great bird |!
You live on mice. You soar aloft on pin
ions airy, until you see poor little mouse
with one leg broke, and then you swoop
down like ward constable, and run him
in. You are nice old bird for a trade
mark, for nation Of heroes. you old coward.
You cit on rock and watch peasant wo-
man hanging out clothes, and when she goes
in the house to turn the clothes-wringer,
you, great bird, emblem Of freedom, you
representative of the land Of the free and
the home of the brave, you swoop down on
the plantation and crush your talons in the
quivering flesh of her little baby, take him
to your home high in heaven, and pick his
innocent little eyes out. You bald-headed
old reprobste, you would turn your tail and
run at the attack Of bantam rooster. O.,
eagle, you look we'll on dress parade, but
you are unanimous coward, and you eat
snakes. You are fraud, and you were
counted in by vote of eight to seven.
The bird that should have been selected
as the emblem Of our country, the bird of
patience, forbearance, perseverance, and the
bird of terror when aroused, is the mule.
There is no bird that combines more virtues
to the square foot than the mule. With the
mule emblazoned on our banners, we should
be terror 10 the foe. We are nation of
uncomplaining hard-workers. We mean to
do the fair thing by everybody. We plod
along, doing as we would be done by. So
does the mule. We as nation are slow to
anger. So is the mule. AS nation we oc-
casionally stick our ears forward and fan
flies off Of our forehead. So does the mule.
We allow parties to get on and ride as long
as they bshaye themselves. So does the
mule. But when any nation sticks spurs
into our Aanks and tickles our heels with a
straw. We come down stiff-legged in front,
our ears look to the beautiful beyond. oul
our subsequent end plays the snare drum on
anything that gets in reach of us, and strikes
terror to the hearts Of all tyrants. So does
the mule. When the country gets older
and congress has time to get in its work, the
eagle will be superseded by the national
trademark, and in its place will rise the
mule in all his glory, and E pluribus unun
our motto, will be changed to You pluribu'
ssulum, sic, distemper, alapaca.

A SAFETY CAR RUNNER.
St. Paul Pioneer Press.


A party OF gentlemen from this city and
St. Paul, upon invitation of the American
Railway Car Runner company, of this city,
tory test OF their safety Car runner" on
the Minneapolis and St. Louis road, a short
distance beyond tho St. Paul and Pacific
junction, yesterday afternoon.
The runner consists of bar of iron 4 Il
inches thick, suspended from the truck out
side of aud underneath the oil boxes, and
secured across the ends of the truck, by the
break. beams 1t is braced, between the
wheels, and so constructed as to completely
encircle and bind the truck. The runner
hangs about four inches out from the wheels,
on either side, and about ole half inch
above the trend of the wheel. 1t is claim
ed for this runner that it will hold the car
to the track under any and all circum.
stances. and yesterdays trial certainly sus-
tanned the claim.
The scene OF tie trial was in a sharp
curve (6 aegrees). An outside rail, thirty
feet in length, was removed, and the car,
an empty flat, was sent over the gap at the
rate Of fifteen miles an hour. The runner "
did its work beautifully; the trucks drop
ped on to the ties, but was held close to the
rail, and the car stopped In distance of
thirty feet On the second trial the Car was
sent over the gap at the rate Of twenty-five
miles an hour. and ran about 150 feet. the
runner holding 1t close to the rail, as be.
fore, and in each instance the car was re.
placed upon the track, uninjured, in less
than thirty seconds!
Railroad men who witnessed the trial

Secretsry Sherman in his letter to Potter.
replying to the latter's letter of the 1st inst,
claims the right to prove that violence did
prevail, when the committee seeks to
prove it did not. The right to prove that
the protests made against the validity of the
election were correct when the committee
brings evidence of their falsity. He is will
ing to have the testimony of previous COM
mittees on this point adduced as evidence,
or to have the testimony given anew. He
protests against the examination Of Weber,
as no member Of the minority was present
to object to questions asked, and as his coun-
sci, shellabarger, was denied the privilege
of cross-examination. He asks that all the
documents now 60 in the record, and adda
that he is ready to repel the charges against
him.

demonstrations which are to occur. With
each succeeding year repetition Of these
scenes occur, and there seems to be no way
to prevent them. The right to celebrate by
parading the streets in procession cannot

to bring about conflicts. The authorities
are we'll prepared to meet to-morrow's dis
