publican makes confession in these sad words:
Next to a cocktail before breakfast the
honest citizens of Eureka seem to like a dog
fight. To see pair of foolish ours bite,
chew, choke and tear the flesh from one an
other even the best Christian in town will run
half a dozen blocks in state of pleasurable
excitement. The noise of two dogs worrying
one another creates almost as much excite
ment as the sound of the fre-bell. 1t is a
noble trait in human nature, this love of
fighting when others do the fighting, even
dogs.

The recent snow storm killednearly all of the

peas and other tender plants, including straw
berries, have been entirely destroyed and the
prospects for a crop here this year are very
gloomy indeed. California and the less favor
ed portions of this State will therefore have

edibles, as it is possible that we will not ma

A MATTER OF TASTE Says the Tuscarora
Times RPriplr:
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-07-10

For several generations the cheap
capital, coal and labor of England have
enabled that country to enjoy an i'm
mense industrial and commercial SUI
periority over all other nations. She
is, however fast losing this advantage,
and there are sagacious observers who
contend that the time is fast coming
when the United States will dispute
with her for the palm of manufacturing
and commercial supremacy. The great
falling off of English exports, and reports
from various parts of the world, includ-
ing British colonies, all tend to show
that English manufactures are gradual
ly being supplanted by American pro-
auctions. Most particularly true is this
true of manufactures of cotton. 1t is true
that American cotton industries, like
those of Great Britain, rejust now feel
ing the effect of the universal business
depression, but many of our most ex-
perienced and best informed manufact-
ures contend that period has been
reached when American producers
may successfully compete with English
manufacturers in the markets of the
world. The manufacturing enterprises
starting to-day, or those to be set in mo-
ton in the future, Will have the advan-
tage of low cost for building materials,
labor, coal, etc. All this combined with
Improvements in the method Of spin
ming, and the lower price at which the
raw material can be obtained here,
places this country in a position to
compete with the transatlantic manu-
facturers, so far, at least, as this leading
industry is concerned. England has
to transport her raw material thousands
of miles. We have it at our very doors.
In this the American manufacturer en-
joys most decided advantage, as well
as in regard to food, materials, mill
power, and other matters Of like i'm

The Gar and His Elevator,

There is in the winter palace at St.
Petersburg small elevator" consist
ing of an easy-chair fixed upon a stand,
originally constructed for the Car
Nicholas, who was wont to mount in
this fashion to his cabinet on the third
floor of the palace. On one occasion,
after a state dinner, the present Gar,
instead Of taking his seat in the chair
as usual, offered the place to a lady of
rank who had been a friend of his
mother. The Countess, hattered by the
compliment, took her seat at once, but
she had not risen many feet when the
chain snapped, and down came the
chair with a terrific crash, finging out
its occupant upon the floor with a
broken limb and other serious injuries.
The dismay of the company was ex-
treme, and all were loud in expressing
their thankfulness that the Gar himself
had so narrowly escaped catastrophe
which, however, no one looked upon in
any other light than that Of very I'M
fortunate accident. But one of the i'm
perial pages, shrewd young fellow,
who had himself witnessed the catas-
trophe, had his own thoughts about this
accident" and took the earliest OPP
portunity of inspecting the broken
chain, when he at once perceived it
had been sawn half through, close to
the staple. The announcement Of this
discovery fell like thunderbolt upon
the assembled grandees, and not me-
ment was lost in calling up the palace
servants for examination. when it was
found that a foreign lackey, who had
entered the service some months be-
fore: and had up to that time borne an
excellent character, had, unaccounta-
bly,, disappeared. The affair, however,
was hushed up, and to this day many
persons who were acquainted with the
story consider the whole occurrence

GETTING BACK TO WHITE PEOPLE.
SANKEY'S Queer Impressions Vividly
TOld-A Strange Meeting.

In Mr.. Stanlev's forthcoming RECORD
OF his African travels, he thus describes
his impressions on drawing near the
west coast and seeing white faces
tor the first time in many long months
we had gradually descended some
tive hundred feet along declining spurs
when we saw scattered string of ham
mocka appearing, and CLEANS of startling
whlteness, such as were given by fine
linen and twills. A buzz of wonder ran
along our column. Proceeding little
further we stopped, and in short time
L was face to face with four white-ay
truly white men! AS | looked into
their faces I blushed to find that I was
wondering at their paleness. Poor
pagan Africans-Rwoma ana Dzinii
and meeting tribes of the Livingston
The whole secret of their wonder and
curiosity flashed upon me at once
What arrested the twanging bow and
the deadly triggers of the cannibals:
What but the weird pallor Of myself
and Frank! In the same manner the
sight of the pale faces ofthe EmbOmma
merchants gave me the slightest sus-
plclon of an involuntary shiver. The
pale color after SO long gazing on rich
black, richer bronze, had something OF
an unaccountable ghastliness. l could
not divest myself of the feeling that
they must be sick; yet, as | COM
pare their complications to what I now
view, | should say they We're olive. sun
burnt, black. Yet there was something
very selfpossessed about the carriage

could not remember just then that |
had witnessed such bearing among any
tribe throughout Africa. They spoke
we'll, also; the words they uttered bit
the sense pat; without gesture, they were
perfectly ineligible. How strange. 1t
was quite delightful to observe the
slight mods of the head; the intelligent
facial movements were admirably ex-
pressive. They were completely clothed
and neat also; | ought to say immacu-
lately clean. Jaunty straw hats, colored
neck-ties, patent leather boots. we'll cut
white clothes, virtuOuslv clean
looked from them to my people, and
then [ fear felt almost like being CRATE
full to the Creator that was not black
as they and that these finely dressed,
we'll spoken whites claimed me as friend
and kin. Yet | did not dare to place
myself upon an equality With them as
yet. The calm blue and gray eyes
rather awed me, and the Immaculate
purity of their clothes dazzled me, l was
content to suppose myself a kind of con-
Meeting link between the white and the
African for the time being.
