While out cunning. on Sunday, in
the neighborhood Of Mr.. Isaac
Young's farm, in Baldwin, John Gillis
was accidentally shot. receiving the
whole load of No. shot in his back
and right arm, wonnding him severely;
his companions improviscd a stretcher
and carried him to his home. which
was not more than half mile dis
tant. DR.. Caldwell was sent for first,
and in the evening DR.. Gile was sent
for; the letter gentleman has been
attending the sufferer eyer since.
The doctor thinks it a critical case,
but he has strong hopes of Gillis' ulti-
mate recovery. When he was shot he
was about 20. yards ahead of two of
his companions; they both discharged
their guns simultaneously, and each of
them are positive that it was the 9th
er one who shot Mr.. Gillis.

+ D. B. SEARLE, Of St. Cloud, is so
well and favorably known to the peo.
pie of Mile Laos county that he needs
no introduction at our hands. The
readers of the UNION are well aware
Of the fact that he is u candidate for
the important Office Of attorney gen.
eral of the state; in point Of ability
he is the peer Of any of his compe ii.
tors; his character for honesty and in
tegrity is unimpeachable; besides he is
a courteous atfable gentleman. It is
meet and proper that tho republicans
of Mile Lacs county-the county in
whichM Mr.. Searle's candidacy was first
suggested should "fre the first gum
for Searle, by instructing their dele
gates to the state convention to use all
honorable endeavors to secure his
nomination. And if the convention,
which is to be held at the court house,
on Saturday, fairly represents the re-.
publicans of Mile Lacs county, the
delegates elected will be so instructed.

Gilman the Rinester.

The Journal.Press has during this con.
test avoided personal illusions and has
studiously refrained from circulating any
of the many charges made against Mr..
Gilman's official integrity. But his re-
marks to the Globe man about the "ring''
and Mr.. Searle's competency-if correct
ly reported, and we are informed that Mr..
Gilman boasts that they are-seem to be
quite sufficient to justify Mr.. Searle's
friends in enquiring into Mr.. Gilman's an
tecedents, and especially his fitness and
competency to hold a position which
should be filled by one above suspicion
and against whom no charges of a serious
character could be made Mr.. .Searle's
ability to discharge the duties of the office
he seeks has not been questioned until this
interview, and is recent discovery made
by Mr.. Gilman. His views about the ring
are refreshing to those who know that he
formed and controlled the only ring that
ever existed in St. Cloud, and is to-day
attempting to lead another composed of
the prominent political jobbers and
plunderers of the state. When we find

mans good faith last winter when press

The Umbrella Bird.

The umbrella bird is a truly remark
able creature, and from the extra
ordinary mode in which its plumage is
arranged, never fails of attracting the
attention Of the most casual spectator.
Fhe bird is native of the islands of the
South American rivers-being seldom if
ever seen on the main land-from
whence it is not unfrequently brought
by collectors, as there is always ready
sale for its skin, either to serve as an
ornament in glass cases, or rs speci-
men for a museum. In dimensions the
um mbreila bird equals the .copmon crow,
and butIdrfths cirbds pli.2d mich
adorns its head, and the tuft which
hangs from its breast, might be mis-
taken at distance for that bird. The
general color of this species is rich shin
ing black. glazed with varying tints of
blue and purple like the feathers of the
magpie's tail. Very little is known of
the habits of this bird. Its crest is,
perhaps, the most fully developed and
beautiful of any bird known. 1t is
composed of long, slender feathers, ris-
| ing from contractile skin on top OF
the head. The shafts are white, and
| the plume glossy blue, hair like, and
| curved outward at the tip. When the
| crest is laid back, the shafts form a
compact white mass, sloping up from
| the top of the head, and surmounted by
the dense hairy plumes. Even in this
position it is not an inelegant crest
but it is when it is fully spread that
it's peculiar character is developed
The shafts then radiate on all sides
from the top Of the shead, reaching II
front Beyond and below TO TIE tip "
the beak, which is hidden from view
The top then forms q perfect, slightly
elongated dome, of beautiful shining
blue color, having point of divergence
rather behind the center, like that il
La lhuman head. The length of thi
dome from front to back is five inches
the breadth four to four and a hal
inches. The food of the umbrella birt
consists chiefly of berries and variou
fruits, and it always rejects the har'
stone of stone fruit. As its cry is ex
ceedingly loud and deep, the native
| call the bird by name which signi
ifies a pipe.
