A California stock-raiser has been
investigating the.cause Of the death of
his hogs. Upon cutting the deceased
hogs open he found that they had been
killed by worms, which had first gained
access to the intestines, then cut their
way through into the lights and liver.
Each carcass contained at least a gal
lon of the crawlers, and their average
length was six inches. In shape they
resembled the angle-worm, but tapered
more from the middle in both direc-
tons. The remedies he suggests are
turpentine, copperas and indigo. He
has the most confidence in inigo, as it
is an unfailing remedy for bots.

The LADIES' THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY are largely availing them
selves Of Wanamaker's immense facil-
tiles for helping them to do their shop
ping without leaving home. This
method is becoming as popular as it
is easy. One department in the "Grand
Depot is specially devoted to the cor
respondence which belongs to this
branch of the business. Hundreds of
letters and postal cards come in every
day, asking for samples Of goods, and
for prices. The moment letters arrive,
they are put into the hands Of clerks,
who at once proceed from counter to
counter TO obtain fresh samples Of the
goods mentioned in it. A card label
is affixed to each sample, mentioning
the price per yard, and the width Of
the goods. The samples are in all
cases sent off by the next mail, SO that
not moment is lost in getting them
to their destination. Ladies, on see
ing the samples and prices, are then
ready to order what they want, and
write accordingly. The orders are
filled by mail or express, as directed,
and with similar despatch. "Univer-
sal satisfaction" is the verdict of all
who deal in this way, and is the ex-
perience Of all, that the orders are as
faithfully filled as if a visit had been
paid in person. For the thousands Of
ladies who cannot conveniently leave
home, this is q great advantage. Write
to Wanamaker, Grand Depot. Phia.

Some Fellows at Fires.

There was fire on Tuesday last in this
city. Little damage was dome, but at one
time it threatened TO result in a frst-elass
confagration. We observed on this occasion
what can always be seen at fire in this city.
A huge crowd collects at the scene, and forth
with proceeds to stand around with hands in
pockets and look on with that same diInter-
ested concern that people usually manifest
over the sight OF second-cass dog fight. A
few, of course. pitch in and work hard and do
good, while the great majority simply busy
themselves with the labor of standing ar ound
in the way OF those who try to do something.
A fire is not thing OF beauty, to be looked
at aud enjoyed, as public display, but Is
thing to be dreaded and TO be fought as q
public enemy. 1t is the Imperative duty of
every able-bodied man 70 attend every alarm
of tire and when there to exert himself to the
best of his ability TO arrest the progress OF
the flames. Our city council ought to have
authority to regulate this thing, and If they
have they should take measures 10 insure
some sort of So stem on such occasions There
should be an officer who should be entrusted
with the control of affairs, and it should be
made the duty Of every one present to obey
orders. And it should be made punishable
oIense for any citizen to wilfully neglect to
| attend an alarm Of FIRE. Systcmatized labor

such system may cause the loss Of 1t almost

that we have just received the largest, finest

Harper County's Debt.

That Harper county consists OF as fine
body of agricultural and grazing lands as can
be found in the State, there is little doubt.
As TO its bonded indebtedness. which was
saddled upon it by high-handed crime, we
think the county will never be compelled to
pay. Our advice TO the taxpayers of that
county has been to either reorganize anew,
ignoring the former fraudulent. organization.
or else seek redress through the courts, first
getting the endorsementaof the Legislature.
II A. Peckham, of this county, who has set
ted in Harper, wrote to the Auditor OF State
last week with reference to the matter and
received the following reply:
s.Yours of January eth, asking for informa-
ton in reference to Harper county bonds, re-
ceived. There are bonds Of Harper county
registered in this Office as follows: Court
house bonds, SIS, 600, funding bond, $4,000
