ODD HOME OF A PRAIRIE DOG.

Recently the head Of Frank Tolles, the
leader Of a band of hiRhwaymen, was borne
into Cheyenne, Wyoming territory, and
exhibited TO y iubilant crowd. When
the people had taken a good look at it, il
was buried in q prairie in the outskirts o.
the town. In passing wei the prairie a
few evenings ago, g. p. Clark raw the skull
dancing along and bobbing up and down
among the. cactus bushes. His hair stood
on end. Cold chills struck him. When he
reached Cheyenne he was as white 40 a
sheet. Everybody scoffed at his story !; but
. few men we're induced to go out and take
a look. They, too, Jaw the skull fitting
hither and thither. The next morning a
large crowd went out to investigate. There
again was the moving skull. The bolde.t
in the party approached. All at once a
little prairie dog bounded from the skull
and shot away into its hole near by. 1t had
the hiahwayman's head for a
place.

The revolutionary designs of the governor

The New York Sun can find no words Of
comfort for the democrats Of its state. 1t
comedies everything to the republicans in
the following words:
The transient CLEAN of comfort which q
respectable number of democrats have de.
rived from the idea that Clarkson N. Pot.
Ter had been elected lieutenant governor Of
New York is now taken from them. Al.
though there was no democratic opposition
to Mr.. Potter, and the Kelly men as we'll a.
the Robsnson men all gave him their suf-
frages, and although his republican compel.
itor Was an exceedingly discreditable per.
son, yet Mr.. Potter is beaten aud the repub-
lican elected.
There is no comfort for democrats in the
results of the New York election. Johr
Kelly has accomplished his purpose, and b,
has destroyed every present prospect o
democratic success.
And the case looks worse with each new
day.

this home made beverage retains a large
share Of is ancient popularity, and not the
least peculiar trait OF character which one
often encounters in the hill towns is the vir-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The
SpoffOrd-Kellogg case was resumed.
Judge Merrick, for Judge Spofford,
said he had no witnesses to exam
inc at present. Was entitled to
two more, and expected they would
be here, but preferred not to tell
when, as they might be captured by
the other side. He should have
some documentary evidence, but it
is not yet prepared.
Senator Salisbury, Chairman,
said as it seemed probable that Con-
gress would adjourn at the end of
this or the commencement of next
week he doubted whether, after the
adjournment, a quorum of the
committee could be held to
gether, therefore it would
be well to put in all the available
testimony by that time. Judge
Shellenbarger said that several of
Kellogg's witnesses were expected
tomorrow, he had none to-day. 1t
was unanimously agreed by the
committee that the afidavits here~
tofore offered would be admitted as
evidence. Judge Merrick said he
would put in his documentary evi~
dence tomorrow.
Mr.. Hill called up the question
Of paying Jules Soveignes his wit

ltely and intentionally deceived the

MEXICO.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, June "a
special to the NetOs from Eagle
Pass says early yesterday morning
a company of Mexican infantry at
Piedras Negras mutinied and fought
their way through the guard at the
gate. About fifteen of them
crossed to this side of the river
under heavy fire from the Labal
troops, who continued firing after
the deserters had landed, many
balls striking houses in this
place. The fugitives surren~
dered their arms to our
citizens to be returned to Mexico.
A number of mutineers were killed
on the Mexican side. The troops
had been six months without pay,
and had nothing to eat. Yesterday
evening the Mexican troops march
ed outside the city with two of the
captured mutineers, whom they
were intending to shoot; but,
owing to a strong protest from the
citizens, the execution was aban-
doned.
