A Serious Blow 10 The West.

A Serious Blow 10 the West.
Commissioner LIE Due has received
the following telegram from J. d.
Sherman, superintendent of the Union
stock yards, Chicago:
The most important blow struck at
the interests Of this city, state and
northwest is the reports in circulation
in reference to the prevalence of cattle
disease in the west, and these reports
are absolutely false. / have sent a tele-
gram to the secretary of state, on
whom l wish you would at once call.
This business Of the export of live cat
tie to England has developed immense
proportions in the last year, and we
must not and cannot remain quiet and
see it destroyed. 1t Is worth millions
to the country, and affects directly
every farmer lin the northwest, while
the whole country feels the effect OF
this large increase in its exports. The
action Of the British and Canadian
governments is based on a misconcep-
tion of the facts, and we need such
final investigation as will put the mat
ter at rest" ems
The commissioners sent the follow
ing reply:
THE disease to which your telegram
refers appeared In this country as early
as 1S43, and there is no more reason
for the present action of the British
government in this matter than has ex-
listed for years past. CPleuro-pneumo-
mia has never troubled the cattle
breeders of the west, whence alone cat
tie for expiration ire derived but
tile existence OF the disease n our
eastern coast at all, is constant threat
TO the cattle-raising country beyond
the Alleghahyr mountains, for the ex.
termination of which l have asked au-
thority of congress. l hope and expect
action will he taken that will speedily
remove all excuse for the Objectionable
~ordersof the British government. -

A Novelty In Pens.
AT last, after many useless attempts.
we have succeeded in obtaining a foun-
tain pen, which is a success, and which
bids fair to come into general use as an
ink writing Instrument. We refer to
the "Mackinnon pen,' now being in
PRODUCED in our city. Enough ink can
be placed in the holder to serve for "a
hours, continuous rapid writing, and
can then be reAlled with any good writ
ing ink. The pen is perfectly clean;
will not blot or splutter, and can be
carried in the pocket and used for all
purposes that a lead pencil is used for.
The holder and pen is made Of vulcan
lied rubber, with a round point Of gold
and iridium-being perfectly non-cor-
rosive in all its parts. it is warranted
by the manufacturers for three years
and in ordinary use will last much
longer. Where speed and slegibility
are desired it is the best pen made, as
it cannot blot or stick into the paper,
and the dipping of ink is done away
with. To II professional and bust.
ness men we commend them us being
particularly valuable, and much supe.
rior to anything of the kind heretofore
brought to our attention. This should
not be COMPOUNDED with any of the
cheap fountain pens, as it is entirel,

Mirage on Lake Erie.

A singularly beautiful mirage was Wis
ible in town last Friday. Shortly after
twelve O'Clock Mr.. John Cook CHANGED
to look in southwark direction from
his house, at the corner of Wellington
and Railway streets, and saw Lake Erie
spread before him with all the distinct
ness of reality. After looking for few
minutes he called Mrs. Cook and his
mother-in-law to witness the scene.
They were subsequently joined by Mr..
Rathvon, builder, and by Mr.. Sexton.
The whole party could see the lake as
if it were only few rods off, and the
waves rolling in regular succession
toward the shore. Three steamers were
speeding toward the east, the smoke
from their tunnels streaming behind
them, while couple of vessels under
sail were pursuing their steady course.
They could see the lay of the land for a
considerable distance along the coast,
but it seemed as if some banks inter-
vened to prevent view of Port Stanley.
The opposite coast of America was so
distinctly visible that they could per-
ceive the indentatiOns and formations
of the shore, the very trees, and town
away to the southeastward, the build
ings of which were plainly discernible.
Mr.. Cook was of the opinion that the
town was Ashtabula. The meridian sun
was shining brightly all this time, and
an opaque cloud, fringed with pink,
stretched along the southern sky from
east to west. Under this cloud the
mirage appeared, and after some time
presenting the scene described, faded,
and gradually dissolved away in the
direction of Buffalo. o.-iSt. Thomas Jour

New Substitute for Lumber.

A gentleman of Bushnell, Illinois, re-
Gently exhibited some samples of lum-
Der that have attracted much attention
among the lumber men, and if it pos
sesses all the virtues that are claimed
for it, is certainly one of the most i'm
portant inventions of its kind ever
brought TO notice. If it is a success it
will form a new era in the art of build
ing. To make hardwood lumber out of
common wheat straw, with all effects
of polish and finish which is obtainabl0
on the hardest of black walnut and ma
hogany at as little cost as clear pine
lumber can be made up for, is the claim
of the inventor, and the samples which
he produces would go far toward veri-
flying his claims. The process is as fol-
lows: He takes ordinary straw board;
such as is usually manufactured at any
paper mill is used for the purpose. AS
many sheets are taken as are required
to make the thickness of lumber desired.
These sheets are passed through u
chemical solution which softens up the
fiber and completely saturates it, The
whole is then passed through success
sion of rollers, dried and hardened du-
ring the passage, as well as polished,
and then comes out at the other end of
the machine hard, dry lumber, ready
for use. The inventor claims that the
chemical properties hardening in the
fiber entirely prevents water-soaking,
and renders the lumber combustible
only in a very hot fire. The hardened
finish on the outside also makes it inn
pervious to water. The samples on ex-
hibition could hardly be told from hard
wood lumber; and in saving it the diff
ference could not be detected. Oshkosh

A Sham Battle by Sioux That Threatened
TO Become Real Fight.

1t was about noon when the Sioux
appeared on the ridge north of the
camp. AS they stood there outlined
against the sky they looked more than
dangerous. The very air trembled
with their yells, responded to by the
bucks, who had massed in the lower
camp. The half breeds began driving
their horses into the corral, for the In
dians were rapidly getting excited, and
things looked ominously. Mothers
counted up their children and hurried
through to the lodges, and the young
girls were carefully stored out of harms
reach. For few moments the yell
from the hill-tops ceased. Suddenly
there came wild, unearthly shrek,
and down the hill the horses of the Lit
tie Big Horn poured in resistless
stream. The half-breeds we're par
alyzed, not with fear, but with admira-
ton. A more magnificent and grander
sight never startled human eyes. AS
the column rushed down, changing
here and there, as their horses were
quick or slow, they turned the valley
into Kaleidoscope, the colors shifting
swiftly into thousand uncouth forms,
barbarous but beautiful. The horses
were covered with foam, and urged to
their utmost. Without warning the
whole column turned into flames, and
the mountain shook with the crash and
roar of their arms. The brilliant
colors flashed through the smoke, and
the cloud of dust to and from the
ground, caused by the hurrying hoofs,
was broken and scattered by the fire
that poured from the rifle-barrels.
The head of the column rested on
the border of the camp, and, turning,
absolutely swept around it until it was
completely environed, and then a
shrek arose which froze more than
that which had crowned the hill. Rifle
balls whistled and screamed through
the camp. The Indians were firing
just high enough to escape hitting
those within, and just low enough 10
startle those whom they had passed. The
horses in the corral had become thor
