TRecorder, 8.
Up TO going 10 press, the prospect of a sue
cessful fair is fattering. beyond what II has
ever before been at this stage.
In passing around the stock department
We noticed the stalls nearly all full OF horses
and cattle some, in fact, nearly all, of very
fine quality, In hogs, the exhibition is de-
cidedIy the best We have ever seen in the
failing to see this department, VIII lose great
deal.
The floral hall makes a spisneid appear
snce. The display OF Iult Is very good, con-
sidering that this is not our fruit year, and
will doubtless surprise many who have made
up their minds that JnIs department would
be a failure.
In the ladies domestic and fancy work de.
partment the exhibition is excellent, as SO 1t
Is in the children's department.
The sewing machine men are out with
their "boss" machines.
There are several trotting horses on the

Affairs in Italia.

ROME, September 4,-The 1talia-lren'
deuta question ia causing renewed attention
because OF a recent pamphlet Issued by
Col. Humesli,a brother of Count Andrassy g
and probable successor as Austrian-Hun
garian Premier. The feeling is fomented by
INSCRIPTIONS men actuated by the lust OF
conquest and that hatred of Austria en-
couraged IN Italia because it is thought a
province could be more easily flchsd from
Austria than any other power. The Liberia,
a conservative organ, and therefore having
more moderate views on foreign politics
than newspapers of the Left, referring to
the pamphlet says:
"Austria cannot expect that Italia should
declare Italian provinces still under Aus
trian sway to belong to Austria by full
right, and shall continue to do so ,indef-
nitely. On the other hand, Italia cannot
claim that Austria should, merely 10 please
her, restore her valuable provinces. Italia
caEnot think Of making war on her present
condition, and Austria cannot attack Italia
for merely having certain inspirations.
Both parties should stop making insincere
and stereotyped declarations, leaving the
question of the possession Of the lrredenta
provinces for the distant future, it being
understood that when Italia wants the
provinces she will tske them, and Austria
will defend them inch by inch"

recollection may be recalled by reading the
following scrap of an event, which was
handed us by Mr.. l.. n Reasoner:
sunday, March Il, ISL, Mr.. Goodlad read a
sermon at A8flocks rancho. Perhaps twenty
persons were present, about an equal number
of males and females. lhe room in which
services were held was at that time occupied
by the Bullock boys, ana IL was a great place
OF rendezvous for buffalo hunters. The room
was furnished with a few cooking utensils,
sleeping hunks, guns, pistols and butcher
knives; the floor and roof were of ear h, and
the sides we're composed of logs. Light was
through an opening where part of
a log had been sawed out on tine north side,
which answered the double purpose OF venti

aNondascript Monster.

Mr.. JEFF. X. Clark, wel.-known farmer
and stock-rsiser, came TO the city yesterday,
bringing with him a horrible looking mon
ster OF an unknown species, which he has
taken from his well. The crestuTe resembles
a fish more than anything else, but ii hss
legs like bears and a tail like a scorpion.
1t has long black hair on its back, and Its
eyes are prominent and nerce locking. The
shape of its body is like that of a sunfish, and
from the region of its mouth seven or eight
long arms or suckers radiate, giving IL the ap-
pesrauce of a devil fish. Ihe animal was
alive when taken from the well, but died in
a snort time when exposed TO the air, and
was placed in q brass tube with a glass cover.
He had a bottle of water which he said was
fuIl OF the same kind of monsters.
