MISCELLANEOUS GLEAN1Nas.

A serious labor strike was inaugu-
rated in Quebec, Canada, last week, and nearly
all the factories and workshops in the city
were closed in consequence.
Grain in sight in the States and Cana
da: Wheat, 6,976, 900 bushels corn, 1885,
600 bushels; oats, 2,847,O0O bushels; rye,
$500 bushels barley 100000 bushels.
The labor strike at Quebec, Canada,
eliminated last week in serious disorders, ne
cessitating the calling out of the military.
The mob was tired upon, and one man killed
and number seriously wounded. The affair
created the widest excitement and alarm in
the city.
Jesse Grant, son of the President, has
returned from Europe. He says his father will
probably return in the spring.
Hon. E. F. Noyes, Minister to Paris,
has come home for the purpose of testifying

called on Secretary Evarts for all the CORE
spondence in his department relating to the
commission sent to Louisiana last year for the
purpose of settling the disturbance between
the Nichols and Packard Governments.
The Secretary of State replies
that, after consulting with the
President, he is instructed to say that, while
he (the President) thought it quite compatible
with the public interest that the desired CORE
spondence should be submitted to Congress, he
did not believe the committee, under the reso-
luton from which it's authority is derived, had
any business whatever with the Louisiana Com
mission or the papers connected with it. Con-
sequently the papers will be sent to the House
of Representatives, but not to the committee.
The President has caused it to be
known that his views upon the subject of the
assessment of Government officials for political
purposes correspond with those recently made
public by Schurz. The President maintains
that no assessments can be made or collected
that all contributions for political purposes
will be entirely voluntary, and that the tenure
of no official will be in any degree weakened
from failure to pay an assessment.

Strange Case of HydrOphObia.

About six years ago Henry B. Banks,
Of Easton, killed his dog, supposing
him to be mad. At the time there was
no reason to suppose the dog had bitten
any member of the family. Last Satur-
day the daughter Of Mr.. Banks, aged
Is, was seized with hydrophobic symp-
toms, and the disease rapidly developed
until Sunday evening, when her suffer
ings were awful to witness. Nothing
could be done to alleviate her fortunes.
At last accounts she was still alive. AS
the little girl has never been exposed to
a rabid dog, except the one killed six
years ago, it is supposed by her friends
that the disease must have developed
from some slight bite or scratch received
then, so slight in fact that it was never
noticed by any one, or complained of by
the little girl herself. - Bridgeport (Ct.)

Life at DeadWOOd.

Deadwood, the chief city of the Black
Hills, is an interesting place to live in.
The Rev. Il. P. Norcross, Congrega-
tional minister, took occasion recently
to condemn from his pulpit the Iawless-
ness SO prevalent there, and to urge an
earnest prosecution of crime. He also
appealed to the community through the
press to see that the laws should be en-
forced, and that, in order to secure their
enforcement, jurymen should be chosen
willing to convict on legal proof of
guilt This aroused the ire of the
Sheriff, who is responsible for the selec-
ton Of jurymen, and that functionary
seized Mr.. Norcross and was llurrying
the outspoken preacher to jail, when
some citizens demonstrated, and the
prisoner was released. The Black Ellis
hardly seem prepared just yet for organ
ization into separate Territory.

The Strangest Kind of a Watch.

N. Doriot, a Frenchman from Bristol,
Tenn, now in Reading, has a great curl
osity in the shape Of a wooden watch,
made by himself. It is of the ordinary

is open-faced, and the dial plate is made
of the horn of buffalo killed on the
Texas Pacific railroad by being run over
by an engine. The outside is of notified
brown olive wood from Jerusalem, and
all the works, except few of the more
important wheels, are of lockwood. The
watch keeps excellent time. 1t was
made last year by Mr.. Doriot, who is a
