my father; but I found I had met my
match, and more. I was like a baby in
his arms; he lifted me clean off my feet,
and threw me straight into the river.
1t was a splendid exhibition of strength.
Tom and ALT, finding their feet, made
for him together; and scrambling out as
best I could, I followed suit. You never
saw such a set-out. We chung to him
like leeches. The language he used was
awful; his strength magnificent; though
we were three to one. he was a match fol
all of us. Of course the by.standers
seeing a row, came up; they i%nterfered,
and pulled us of.
"Here's q pretty 60! said one
whats all this?'
"Stop him! lay hold of him!" said
ALI; "he'sa lunatic!"
"a what?" said the man.
"He's a lunatic escaped from DR..

Instead of lending a hand, the man
went oft into a roar of laughter, and the
others joined. The stran ger looked lit.
orally frantic with rage. A gentleman
stepped out from the crowd. "There's
some mistake" he said; this gentleman
is MI. Travers, of Tollhurst Hall!!'
You could have knocked us all three
down with q feather I do believe.
Could it be possible? Could we have
been such consummate idiots as to have
mistaken a sane man for a lunatic? and
that man Lillian Travers' father! l
could have shrunk into my boots; l
could have run and hid myself in bed.
To think that we should have logged,
and watched, and insulted, and assaulted
the man of all others in whose good
books we wished to stand-Lilisn Ira
vers' father! Never did three men look
such fools as we did then. We were 80
confoundedly in earnest about it, that
was the worst of all. I don't care what
you say; you may think it a frst-rate
joke; but he nsust have been an eccentric
sort of elderly gentleman. If he had
behaved sensibly, if he had made one
sensible remark, he would have blown
our de1usion to the winds.
We rendered our apologies as best we
could to the man we had so insulted; but
he treated us and them with the Hottest
scorn; and We got one after another into
the boat amid the gibes and jeers of an
unsympathetic crowd. And as We rowed
from the wretched place as fast as ou1
oars would take us, we each in u secret
heart declared we never would forget
our adventure up the river with a luna
tic. And we haven't. From that day
to this I have never seen Lillian Travers

A Frontier Weddinp,

A story comes from the scene of the
Ute troubles which illustrates the TO-
nance of frontier life and which is of
peculiar interest here because the par
ties are we'll known. At Camp Douglas,
on the morning when the order came for
four companies of the Fourteenth In
fantry to go to the front, the impression
was that tho campaign would last all
winter and would thus interfere with
the marriage Of Lieutenant r. T. Yeat-
man, Of Company I, and Miss Louise
Mulhall, sister of Lieutenant Mulhall,
which had been arranged for Christmas.
The order was received at 9 Al :. There
was a hasty conference of the principals
in the case and it was decided to have
the ceremony performed Immediately,
Accordingly the chaplain was summoned
and at 10 o'clock they were married. Al
II o'clock the command started for the
Indian reservation. Lieutenant Yeat
man is a nephew of Admiral Ammen
Miss Mulhall lived here with her brother
and mother about two years, until the
spring Of 1878, when Lieutenant Mulhal
was ordered west.- Washington Cor. N

Sharks Teeth,

I would draw attenti.n to the opera
ton of the teeth of the shark on the
seizure of it's prey. l recollect in Mich
olson's" Zoology" a statement to the
following effect: The sharks have teeth
arranged in several rows, of which only
the outermost is employed, the other
rows seeming to replace the outermost
when worn out" In a recent visit to
the Cocos Islands I had many opportun-
tiles of observing these animals in the
use of their formidable weapons, In tho
act of seizure the whole jaw is protruded
to a distance varying according to the
size of the fish, of several inches, the
innermost teeth coming into position
erect or semi.erect, but as far as I could
observe nearly all of the teeth came into
play. When on fishing excursions in the
lagoon, the sharks, which constantly
carried off the bsit, were often caught,
and in order to extract the hook a large
log, constantly carried in the boats for
this purpose, was t~hreateningly present.
ed to its face, and, of course, instantly
seized and held on to for as long as it
took to perform the operation of extrac.
ton. If, when the fish is quite recently
dead, pressure be made on the angle of
the jaw, it is easy to observe the action
OF the rows of teeth.->dtWye.

Pity for the Poor Tiger.

The death is announced, in Paris, at
the ripe age Of 81, of M. Dejean, the
proprietor Of the circus in the Champs
Elysees and on the Boulevards. His
career was a remarkable one. He start
ed in life IS a butchers apprentice, and
his good looks drew all the cooks in the
neighborhood to the shop of his master,
who, on retiring, left him the business.
Having amassed a comfortable fortune,
he started the circus, kept it going for
half a century, and realized very large
profits. He was remarkable for his her
culean strength and for his attachment
to the Napoleon family, which the late
emperor requited by making NJ. Dejean
an officer of the Legion of Honor. OF
his strength stories are told that border
on the marvellous, in which fiction
mingles very largely with fact. Thus i,
is stated that soon after starting the
circus a tiger escaped from a menagerie
he was exhibiting, and made straight fol-
him. Dejean quietly opened his arms
and then closed them; when he r~eopened
them the tiger fell dead at his feet,
smothered in his embrace.

The Peanut State.

Norfolk is the first peanut in the
world. The peanut individualized ii q

the ragged and wistful and small boy,
but where it originates it is q gigantic
industry. Norfolk receives the entire
crop of Virginia, which is larger and su-
perior to the growth of Tennessee and

The crop this year reached SOC, 600 bush

SENATOR BLAINE SPEAKS.
And Gives the Subject OF Election Frauds
at the South an Airing.


Special Telegram to the Inter ocean.
Washington April 23.-There was an ex.
citing scene in the senate late this afternoon.
when MI. Blaine fought the entire demo.
cratic side single handed, and the senate had
to adjourn to allow the wounded to be cared
for. He first reviewed the now notorious
frauds and outrages at the recent elections in
South Carolina and Louisiana, and met the
assertions Of Butler from one state and Jones
from the other, that these stories were false,
by evidence taken from the Teller commit
tee. Then he went over into Delaware and
got both senators from that state after him.
From Delaware he marched into New Jer-
sey and held up the democratic military
hero, Mcclellan, now Governor of that state,
as the man who had sent troops to guard the
polls, which acts had been complained of by
Mr.. Bayard. Then he raided into Mary
land to show the necessity Of troops at cleo
tons there during the war, and to prove
that nothing but the presence of the mill
tary kept Maryland from joining the con-
federacy. He was met by the Maryland
senators, and gave them fact after fact, until
they retired from the discussion. After hav-
ing put the democratic party to flight, he
attacked the Independent party, and over
hauled Judge Davis for his speech yesterday,
saying that Mr.. Davis, after posing himself
on the fence long enough to deliver a we'll
wOrded appeal for peace, had leaped into

FIVE.

The daily edition Of the Press and Dako
taisn enters with this issue upon the it'll
year Of Its existence. Its first number wa.
put forth N the 10Th day Of April, 1875
and since that event it has logged along over
the rough roadway Of pioneer progress,
though it seems to be gradually working its
way towards the smoother track which sue
cessfal ventures attain in the course of time.
Our daily was normally tho product of the
Black Hills excitement which followed the
arrival of the Gordon gold discoveries at
Yankton with their buckskins filled with
the precious metal. The public pulse beat
high in those days. Untold riches were
buried in the unknown mountain range oil
western Dakota, and everybody who went
thither to dig must Of necessity pass through
Yankton. We grew in importance in a few
brief days as We had not grown in all the
years before. 1t became necessary that
Yaakton should have an organ through
which it could each day sound the glories Of
the glowing land beyond-and the Press and
Dakotaian was put forth as Dakota's first
daily newspaper. Like a patient with a
high fever, Yankton speedily got better of
its golden disease, under the application of
the proper specific, which in our case was
experience. 1t learned that of all the
worlds vanities there Is nothing more fleet
ing than q red hot mining excitement. But
our daily survived the collapse which en-
sued and by and by the steady, natural,
healthful growth of this new western city |
began to tell upon its fortunes. Thus, under
the inspiration Of a temporary excitement,
the Daily Press and Dakotaian was born.
With gratifying prospects for the
future prosperity Of the community it rep
resents, we hand you number one of volume
five
