But, let ole Of Our foremost citizens 10
up to the Flats, throw in his line and
haul out a thirty pound inuskallonge
and he comes home to discover that all
his assertions only provoke winks and
smiles. Last week a fisherman deter
mined to put q stop to this practice.
He caught big fish and cut a pattern
of its exact size. Then he had five men
at the Flats make affidavit that the fish
weighed twenty-eight pounds and six
ounces. Then he had three additional
afidavits that the scales were correct.
Thus armed in the cause of truth he
came home and made his statement to
crowd of friends. He expected dis
pute and contradiction, but no man
said q word. He repeated his story
twice, exhibited his affidavits, and was
rewarded by hearing one friend whis-
per to another.

cause he had any thing against the man HIM
self, but because he could not afford to have
such an attachment to his esta bltshment, and
he felt that the display OF such extravaganza
at Cauonchet was injuring him in his efforts
ests and to get on his feet again financially.
But he hardly gave Linck q Thought. Probably
he did speak angrily, he said, for he was very
angry; but his Indignation was against Conk-
ling, and not against Linck.
He found Conkling in the house alone, and
ordered him out on the instant. Conkling re-
fused to 60 A few high words ensued, and
then he (Spraguc) went upstairs to get his
shotgun. He found that he had no percus-
sion-caps for his weapon, and went off to the
village to get some. As soon as he could pro-
cure them he hurried back, and Conkling was
still there. He again ordered him to leave,
and Conkling refused to e.. and tried to mol
80 suddenly on the ground that he had no
carriage for himself or his baggage, which
was not even packed. Therenpon Mr..
Sprague drew out his watch and told Conk-
ling that he would give him thirty seconds to
get out, and that II ne was not out by that
time he (sprague) would blow his brains
out.
At that moment carriage appeared in
sight, which had evidently been sent for while
Senator Sprague was absent in his search for
caps. At any rate, Conklirg Immediately

gage behind him. What happened afterward
in the house is not related, except that Conk-
ling's luggage was hustled out of the house at
short notice. Not satisfied that Conkling
would quit hanging around the place, and de-
termined to make him fully understand that
he (Sprague) was thoroughly in earnest, and
that it was not mere passing fit of rage, the

out, jumped into his own wagon; and drove
off toward the Pier to and Conkling, and he
carried his gun with him. He found Conk-
ling pacing up and down in front of Q cafe.
Jumping from his carriage, he beckoned
Conkling to come to him and said, CURLY:
II want YOU"
Conkling came, and another scene ensued:
Conkline spoke low and mildly, evidently
seeking to avoid attracting observation, and
tried again to pacify the Governor. This

promise he once made in Washington to give
up his acquaintance with Mrs. Sprague.
Finally, the Governor cut Conkling short

Attacked by a Savage Dog.

Judge R. c. Fain, living about four
miles from this city, has very large
and savage dog which he. keeps as 9
watchdog upon his premises. He had
only had the animal about two months,
and during that time his niece, Miss
Mary Hamilton, was the only member
of the household who could, with any
degree of safety, 60 within reach of
the animal, which was kept chained
all day and turned loose at night.
Miss Hamilton fed the animal. and
by kind words and gentle treatment
managed to control it. On Friday
evening, when she went to unfasten the
dog, she was accompanied by Miss
Fannie Fain, daughter of Judge Fain.
As soon as the animal was given its lib
erty it at once jumped upon Miss Fain,
and after throwing her to the ground
began to tear away at her clothes and
flesh with the savageness of tiger.
Miss Fain fell upon her face, and the
dog bit her terribly upon her back and
shoulders before relief came in the
person of Mr.. Fain and son. As soon
as the savage beast attacked Miss Fain
Miss Hamilton cried Justify for help.
A son of Judge Fain rushed to her
assistance with his gun, both barrels
of which were loaded with buckshot.
Rushing up he placed the muzzle of the
gun to the side of the brute as he stood
over Miss Fain tearing away, and fired.
The entire contents of the barrel went
into the side of the brute, but instead
of killing the animal it only seemed to
make him more vicious. as he released
his hold only to bite the young lady
again. Fain, realizing in an instant
that he had not killed the animal,
fired the other load, placing the muzzle
of the barrel so near the animal that
the lame scorched his shaggy coat.
The second load seem to stagger the
brute, and as he fell Miss Fain jumped
up and ran in the direction of the house.
The dog, rallying from the shot,
pursued her q distance of twelve steps
and then fell dead in his tracks. It
was found that the young lady had
been seriously bitten and her clothes
badly torn.-Atlasta (Gc.) Co''titsstso''.

BOSTON, Mass. August 16.
The Globe has the following dispatch
from Narragansett Pier:
Senator Sprague has been in consultation
with his lawyers, and absolutely declines to
make statement for publication directly,
but an intimate friend relates the substance
OF what occurred between Mr.. Sprague and
Senator Conkling on Friday. AugustS, as the
story came from the lips of Mr.. Sprague him-
self. Its publication would not be permitted
even now but for the letter of Mrs. Sprague.
Governor SprAgue's version of the affair Is
as follows: He had been down in Maine on
business trip. expecting to be absent until
Saturday night. He finished his business
Thursday night but did not see Mrs. spraq ,nee
although he knew she was present in the
house. On Friday morning he learned for
the first time, and down at the pier, that Sem
at0r Conkling was up at his house and had
been there day or two. The Governor was
anger. he said to his friend, was the intimate
relations between Senator Conkling and his
wife, which had long been highly obnoxious
to him. The existence of these relations was
no secret to him. He had seen the scandal
and snd he sec sDoksg and Of ore
conduct OF Senator Conkling toward his
wife at Washington. Bitter words had often
been spoken between his wife and himself be-
cause OF tnat intimacy. She was fully aware
now obnoxious to him was that intimacy, and
what were his feelings toward Senator Conk
ling. But in spite Of this, said MI. Sprague,
IN spite OF all the scandal and the violence TO
hts feelings. that she should invite Senator
Conkling to be . guest at his house during
his absence, and that Conkling should have
the brazen effrontery to come there at ali. in
censed him beyond all measure. As he ex-
pressed 1t, Senator Conkling was trying to do
for his home in Rhode Island what he had al
ready done for his home in Washington, and
and forever.
With this deliberate intention he hurried
back to Canonchet ss soon as he heard Conk-
ling was there. Near the house he met
Ltnck, the German Professor, but he declared
had no idea Of shooting him. He did not
even have his gun with him 1T the time. He
did order Linck to leave the house, and was
opposed to his being there, not, however, be-

SPARE titne d few stimmefs ago to the
fhaking of experiments. He imprisohed
several mosquitoes under bell glasses
and kept them there without food dur.
ing the whole term of their natural
lives, and he testifies that they re-
manned healthy, active and vigorous.
without perceptibly losing flesh, until
the advent of cold weather put an end
to them and the experiment at once.
Their blood-thirst, therefore, seems to
be purely malicious, and not at all q
part of their struggle for existence.
An ingenious apologist for the mos
quito attempted few years ago to set
up defense for her, which, If il had
been true, would not only have excused
her, but would have justified her, also,
in the use of her lancets. He declared
that Mrs. Mosquito is female medical
practitioner that she lives in malarious
regions and punctures skins there,
partly to drive men away from pesti-
lential spots and partly to counterfeit
the poison of the atmosphere by the
administration of an antidote; in a
word, this apologist held that Mrs.
Mosquito bites not for the purpose of
sucking blood, but to administer mi
mute doses of quinine by sub-cutaneous
injection. If this fact could be proved,
we should have in the mosquito the
most eclectic of physicians-one who
uses the old-school lancet, but gives
homeopathic doses.
How the mosquito bites is much bet
ter known than why she bites. She
cares six little lancets inside her pro-
boscis, and with these she punctures
the skin, making a hole so small that
blood cannot flow through it except
under pressure, and through this hole
she draws what she wants by sort Of
special suction-pump stomach which is
| distinct from her stomach proper.
The Inflammation and irritation which
follow the bite are due not so much to
the puncturing of the skin as to the
acrid saliva which flows into the
wound. This irritation is sometimes
SO great as to produce fever, a fac
from which it appears that, if thu
mosquito is really physician, she ad
heres to the homeopathic doctrine
that like cures like, a doctrine which
has never been followed out to it
logical end in cases where men, hav
ing broken their heads by falling dowl
a flight of stairs, need to be thrown
down another flight by way of repair
ing the injury. Perhaps this is mis-
Interpretation of the doctrine, and, a
any rate, 1t has nothing to do will
mosquitoes, whose heads cannot b,
broken in any such way.
The usual remedy for mosquitoes i
to slap ones self violently. 1t does no
hurt the mosquito, but it braces tn
sufferer up and teaches him to endur
pain.-N Y. EVening Post.
