Secretary Gorham, of the republican con-
gressional committee and Collector Smith,
of Chicago, have been ~indulging in some
sharp correspondence upon the subject of
contributions to political funds. Mr.. Smith
is opposed to political assessments and Mr..
Gorham holds that his circular contemplates
no assessment-it being merely a request to
government employees to contribute what
they see fit towards the expense of the re-
publican party. Secretary Gorham in clos
ing his last letter to Collector Smith says

Hayes, and I am not. If the democrats car

arise.

All those who have heretofore acted, Or now
desire to affiliate, with the republican party of
Dakota, are cordially invited to meet in their re-
spective counties and select delegates to repre-
sent them in this convention.
The attention of republicans is called to the
necessity of nominating candidates for district
attorney in RETROSPECTIVE districts, and as there
are no district committees, the territorial COM
mittee suggests that the delegates to this conven-
ton be authorized to appoint committees for
their respective districts, to call conventions for
this purpose.

How TO Handle q Gun.

Guns should always be carried at half
cock, as then neither blow on the
striker nor a pull at the trigger will
bring the former into action. There Is
no necessity whatever for a gun to be
otherwise than at the half'cock, unless
game is Immediately in front; and, fur
ther, it may not be out OF place to add,
that it is dangerous when shooting IN
company for the gun to be swung round
in taxing aim with the finger on the
trigger. The eye should follow the line
of the flight, and the gun be raised at the
proper moment. Accidents from guns
bursting are rare; but caution is very
necessary in getting over fences to see
that no earth gets lodged in the muzzle,
or in winter time that the latter does
not get blocked up by snow dropping
from the bushes or otherwise. Ihese
obstacles, although they may be easily
removed, are qnite sufficient, if they
remain. to burst tho strongest barrels
when the piece is tirel: This is caused
bv the wonderful velocity Of the e1-
panning gases. This expansion, which
is said to be at about the rate OF 7,O00
feet per Sc 'ond, is the same i'll all direc-
tions. and the least check at the muzzle
of the gun causes such a sudden in
creased pressure on it's sides that the
lotter are unable to resists its effects,
and are burst open. No one is more
cautious or scrupulously careful in the
use of his gun than an old sportsman,
and no one more readily than he detects
and condemns carelessness in the ma
nipulation of their guns in others.

A Refusal to Fight.

John Farrago, Pennsylvania militia
captain, once declined to fight duel IN
these words:
S1R-I have two objections to this
duel business. The one Is lest should
hurt you the other is lest you should
hurt me. 1 do not see what good 1t
would do Inc to shoot you. l could
make no use of you when dead for any
culinary purpose as [ would rabbit or
a turkey. 1 could not eat you. Why,
then, needlessly shoot you down. A
buffalo would make better meat than
you. For, though your head may be
delicate and tender, it wants that firm
ness and consistency that takes and re-
tains salt. 1t might make a good bar.
becue, it is true, being of the nature OF
a raccoon or opossum but do not like
barbecucd meat.
Besides, it would seem strange thing
for me to shoot at auythingGhat stands
still to be shot at, as am accustomed to
shootat things flying or running or
jumping. Were you on a tree, now,
like squirrel, trying to hide your self
in the branches, aud [ could spy
through intervening boughs and leaves,
I think should enjoy taking n shos at
YOU. But Us it is, there is no skill or
Judgment in either discovering you or
bringing you down.
As to myself, I do not like to stand in
the way of anything harmful. l
nm afraid you might hit me. l shall
consequently stay at distance. If you
want to try your pistols take some ob-
iect, such as tree or door, about my
dimensions. If you hit that send me
word, and 7 will publicly acknowledge
that if I had been in the same place you
might also have hit me. Yours truly,
JOHN FARRAGo.

The Cultivation of Cocoon.

Cocoa has not as yet attracted the at
tention which, perhaps, it deserves, but
it's cultivation seems to involve little or
no trouble and to be as lucrative rs it is
simple. Consul Cohen, in his trade re-
port on Surinam for the past year, re-
marks that Of ali the products OF that
colony cocoa may be considered not only
the safest but the most profitable. In
four or five years after planting the tree
begins to bear to Il moderate extent, and
to it's full capacity in the eighth or ninth
year, after Which it continues productive
for forty years. It's subsequent culture
is extremely simple, and the planter has
no fear for the future. He cnn with a
few hands-say thirty to thirty-hve
laborers to an estate OF three hundred
acres-keep up cocoa plantation where
cultivation is not greatly extended, tor
from the dark and dense shade created
by the outrageous mass OF it's own foll-
age, weeds make slow progress, 80 that
it is found unnecessary to hoe the fields,
in lieu of which about two billings with
the cutlass are given yearly; besides,
the cocoa leaves drop abundantly and
form quite layer on the ground, con-
tributing to the same result. In the
plucking season no difficulty is encornt.
cred in obtaining labor, as the natives
find the work easy. and can earn rs much
as two or three shillings day. During
the last five years the yield has increas.
ed'fifty per cent, and having none OF
the difficulties that sugar estates have tc
contend with, will continue to increase
wear by wear.

Professor Bernstein an eminent nat

and put all in. The bottom is not COW

her columns, towers and churches, which
helps little, 80 we must take London
also. Vienna must go in too, and, not
to disturb the peace, st. Petersburg fol-
lows next. All this stuff lies az the
bottom. We begin now to take up oil
the cities, towns, villages, forts, farms.
everything that human hands have built
in Europe, and oil the ships floating on

An Ari,tocratic Spend,hrift.

A London correspondent writes: An
advertisement of the sale by auction of
a magnificent mansion and estate in
Hertfordshire affords me text for q
story and a sermon. Some years ago,
when ] was passing few months at Ok
ford, two or three o. the aristocratic un-
DER graduates were Ill king themselves
notorious by their silly freaks, such as
smashing the doors and looking-glasses
in the houses in which they lodged,
wrenching off knockers and bell-pulls
from the doors of the houses in the
High street, making bonfres of pictures
and statues in the great quadrangle OF
Christ Church, etc., etc. The ring
leader of this party was young man
named Marjoribanks, commonly called
Marchbanks, the heir to immense wealth,
and inheriting, among other sources OF
income, partnership in the celebrated
banking house of Coutts & Co. He was
q Young man of considerable ability,
but wasted the period of his college
career in the amusement Of his set. He
and his immediate comrades carried
their horse-play too far, and were eventu-
ally expelled in disgrace from the uDi-
versity. His escapades did not, how
ever, materially affect his position in
society and four years ago he married
daughter of the Duke of Marlborough.
It was hoped that this event would have
gobered him down, and that, with the
splendid advantages he possessed, ne
would have become useful member OF
society. He purchased the estate have
mentioned, and on the house alone e1..
pended over $500, 900, making it one OF
the most elegant mansions in the KING
dom. Everybody, except his most intl-
mate friends, supposed that he was 60
ing on all right, when suddenly came
collapse, and he was found to be many
hundreds OF thousands OF pounds worse
off than nothing. Precisely how ne has
managed, in so short time, not only TO
run through his immense legitimate for
time, but also to involve himself hope
lessly in debt, is not yet clearly known.
but q continuous system OF gambling
and betting, in which enormous stakes
were involved, appears to have been at
the bottom of It. Efforts were made to
save him, and prevent the exposure, but
the demands against him proved so
serious that this was found impossible,
and it became Mt last necessary to effect
his forcible withdrawal from the great
banking house. Lady Burdett- Coutts
herself hnd an interview with him, and
generously offered to give him elOO,-
600, if that sum would relieve him from
his difficulties. On his replying that it
would not, she is said to have offered
two, three, four and even five hundred
thousand pounds (S2,5OO,OOO, but he
still affirmed that this sum would be
nothing like sufficient, and she was sen.
sible enough to give up the attempt. OF
course, his ruin is now complete, and he
stands before the world the most splen-
did specimen OF his age of the reckless
spendthrift. I need hardly add that he
gets very little sympathy.
