Tho Wisconsin Steam Road Wagon
Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinell

The foolishness of four years ago, when
the Legislature passed bill giving $10,-
900 to a perfect steam road wagon to
humor good natured member who had
a hobby, has been more than carried out
by the present Assembly. The machine
from Oshkosh, an alleged steam wagon,
managed, after many mishaps, to get
from Oshkosh to Madison, and the pro-
prietors claim the reward. The Assem-
bly, has passed bill to give them $4,000,
and as the Senate is more addicted to
fool legislation than the Assembly, it is
probable the bill will pass The offer in
the first place was foolish one, but its
terms have not been complied with. A
perfect steam wagon has not been pro
duced The Oshkosh machine no more
complies with the provisions of the law
than does the present Legislature aci
according to the wishes of the people.

There is an old saving that "chickens
come home to roost.' Smythekins says
it's lie, His pet Shanghai rooster went
over to neighbors the other day, and
has not since been heard from. And be-
sides, the minister has since taken tea
with the neighbor, and Smythckins
strongly suspects that he took part of the
rooster Salem Sunbeam.

What Causes Thunder.

A corresponds nt of Nature writes :- I have lately seen it stated in text book upon electricity and magnetism that the phenomenon of thunder is not fully accounted for by any theory as yet brought forward. Whether this be so or not am not sufficiently acquainted with the subject to say. I believe the commonly accepted theory is that 8 vacuum is created in the path of the electric spark, and that the subsequent thrush of the air produces the detona- tion. T., however, it be allowed that the electric spark is not material sub- stance, but merely natural force or mode of motion, the possibility of this theory is at once disposed of.
 It is well known fact that the pas sage of electricity in high state of ten sion through mixture of oxygen and hydrogen not only causes an explosion, but also causes the formation of water, and it seems to me that, given the exist ence of free oxygen and hydrogen in the region of the electric disturbance, the phenomenon of thunder is sufficiently accounted for. Whether the normal amount of hydrogen in the air is suffi clent to cause the stupendous noise of thunder am not competent to judge, but if not, I would suggest that the presence of an abnormal amount might be accounted for by the process of the electrolysis, which would probably oc cur between the two poles of the thun- der cloud before the tension became so great as to cause rupture of the circuit and consequent discharge of the cleo tric spark. would also draw your at. tention to the fact that every thunder clap is immediately followed by an in crease in the quantity of water depos. tied in the shape of rain. Does not this point to the formation of water by the explosion of the gases? It is a ire quent experiment of Dr. Tyndall's tc show his audience red clouds; I feel convinced that by following this line ot inquiry he could give us a real thunder storm.

An Indians Wit.

You would hardly expect to find wit among the Indians, and yet they are just as human as the rest of us, and in spite of their stoicism indulge in joke now and then which has a flavor of it's own. During banquet which was given by the palefaces to several red men one of the Indians took spoonful Of mustard, supposing it to be some delicacy. The tears came into his eyes. He could die without hinching, but aspoonful of mus tard was something which even his be- roic soul could not endure, so he wept profusely, even as white men do some- times. The chief, who sat opposite, asked him why he cried. He naturally replied that he was thinking of his old father, who died a horrible death. A few minutes after, the chief himself fell upon the mustard pot, and swallowed more than was necessary. The tears came into his eyes, too. A thousand tomahawks were nothing, but the pun gent quality of the mustard made him weep like 8 child. "And why do you cry ?" asked the first victim, with savage delight in his tones. "Well," was the
 quick reply, "I am crying because you
 were not killed when your father was."

A Stage Drivers Last Ride.

James Brant, or, as he was better known, "English Jimmy" was Mon tana stage driver. Many years ago he took the reins on the route between Butte and Deer Lodge, and served the public faithfully. Jimmy's horses loved his pat and stroke about as much as they did their oats. He rarely used the whip, carrying it, indeed, for the purpose of playing tunes with the lash in the sharp mountain air. One morning Jimmy's four horses jolted out of Butte with a coach load of men, women and children. A passenger sat with him on the box. The stage swept along the road at fine gait, and soon the first relay, Girard's s was reached. There the horses were changed. Jimmy said that the new horses were not his old friends, but strangers to him. He directed the sta- bleman to arrange the harness carefully, as the team was evidently spirited. When all was ready mischievious boy called out, "Now you go, Jimmy p at the same time skipping one of the lead CTS with his hand.
 The leader reared and shot headlong away. The four horses sprung imme- diately into dead run. Jimmy threw his every muscle into the lines. He called out, "Steady, down there p for the benefit of the passengers, gritted his teeth and bent to his task. The horses dashed on at the top of their speed. They were crossing level plain and making dead for narrow gully, down which the road ran before it crossed an insecure, unwalled bridge. Jimmy fixed his eyes on farm house in the distance and on his route. He knew that if he could rein his horses through several piles of soft grass shocks near the house he could save the passengers. He told the men to be ready to jump as they ran through the grass. "Take the babies, " said he, and as the coach swerved under his powerful arm and ran in among the shocks the passengers leaped out, some bruised, but none badly hurt A few minutes later Jimmy's body was picked up under the bridge from which the coach had been thrown to the rock below.

The Blue and the Gray.

The Abingdon, Vt., Standard tells this little story :-
 Two of the illicit distillers tried at this term of the United States Court, were soldiers in the war. One, Joe Lewis by name, @ noted moonshiner of North Carolina, was in the Confederate Army the other, Henry Wildner, of this county, was g. Union soldier. While in pr1son awaiting trial they indulged in many political discussions over the "un- pleesantness. Col. John O. Summers was engaged to defend them both. When the sentences were being passed, Wildner requested the Colonel to call the attention of the udge to the fact that he had been true and faithful Union sol dier, which was done. The Judge re- piled that for that reason he should have betn better citizen, and sentenced him to the Penitentiary for one year. Lewis, the more notorious of the two, get of with one month III jail. Turning to Lewis, Wildner said "I don't see why he sent me to the Penitentiary and not you." "That was because you was an internal Yankee" replied Lewis, "and he cughter hung you fort" All around joined in good laugh.

l'he Indians.

There are two very striking and very touching illustrations of the practical duplicity with which the Indians are treated under our Government, where DO policy is certain to last year, and the most solemn official promises may be violated by jobber's lobbying bill through Congress-. One is to be found in the talk of Chief No Flesh, who com municates to correspondent new and sovereign device by which his tribe can keep home after they have got it. "We knew that when the white men build town of good houses the Government never moves them away, and so we said we will build town, and then we can stay here always. The Government can't move us away. We will have a school house, and send all the children to school, so they can learn to read and write. We are going to do it just as soon as we get the lumber sawed" This is the untu- tored red mans way of trying to get fair treatment from the Government when there have been no pledges the letter of Bishop Hare, which has just been published, shows how the educated and civilized Indian is compelled to beg that official promises be kept which have been already made. The Santees are living on lands which they have culti- vated for years, and which the Govern ment has several times assured them that they are to hold without disturbance. And yet matters have reached this curious pass that, on the other side, the San- tees who hold certificates for the lands, have been trying for years to obtain patents for them like ordinary home stead settlers, by paying the regular en- tries, while on the other, bill is pend ing in Congress providing for the sale of these lands from under them and the removal of the tribe When Chief No Flesh learns how the poor Santees whom Custer-who was soldier and not missionary or sentimentallst-com mended so highly, may fare at the hands of the Government, he may conclude at 1t isn't worth while to saw his lum- Der. Tribune.

Intellect in American Dogs.

A few months ago, writes a corre- spondent, made the acquaintance of 8 dog, which, I think, is worthy of place among the dogs and cats and rats and mules that are helping to determine the degree and kind of animal intelligence. "Priest's '' is hotel on the way from the Calaveras Grove of Big Trees to the Yosemite. in former years on the ar- rival of the stage the Iandlady would send the dog to the poultry-yard to catch chickens for the tourists dinner. Now the dog ''takes time by the fore lock-" The stage is due at six o'clock. About five o'clock the dog saunters leisurely down the road till he meets the stage, he then bounds back to the poul- try-yard, catches chickens, bites their heads off, and takes them to the cook 1! The number of chickens he kills bears a relation to the number of passengers he saw in the stage. A gentleman who was stopping at the hotel for few days went into the woods one afternoon with gun. When he returned the dog came to him in much excitement to see what game he had taken. Finding his hands and his bag empty, the dog ran into the forest and returned in less than an hour with 8 bird, which he gave, with an air of com passion, to the unskillful hunter.

About Storms.
storm,

Benjamin Franklin first made the observation, hundred years ago, that all our so-called northeast storms came from the west. This observation of our greatest philosopher has been since so absolutely verified as to constitute a law. All great storms in this country move from the west in general easterly direction-usually little to the north or east. Nearly all of them originate in that section of the country marked on the maps as the great Western plains the high table-land between the meridian of ninety-fve degrees on the east and the Rocky Mountains on the west, con- prising the area occupied by Montana, Dakota, Nebraska, Western Kansas, Indian Territory, New Mexico, Western Texas and Northern Mexico. The origin of storm in this region may be stated as follows: The air over large sandy area becoming rarefed by the intense heat of the suns rays, and rapid radia- tlon from the sandy surface, begins to ascend; the moisture-laden air from the Missouri and Mississippi valleys and the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand and the cold current from the Rocky Mountains on the other, rush in to take the place of that which is ascending. We have thus produced an easterly wind on the front or eastern side of the area of ascending air, and westerly wind behind, or on the western side of it !; to the south, north, and intermediate points the wind will blow toward the centre from those points. The wind blows from all points around this area toward the centre. Now, if the earth were flat and at rest, and the air over this sandy area equally heated, the wind would blow in straight lines from the cir conference toward the centre, ascend and spread out at the top; there would be no motion forward or backward of the whole body of air, and this condition of things might exist forever. But, owing to the confguration and motion of the earth; aud the laws of heat and it's in- flnence in evaporation and condensation, change is soon impressed on this initial upward and centric motion of the air, and the collection of phenomena which we term storm results.

 WASHINGTON NOTES.
 To Senate bill in regard to jurors in United States courts, MT. Herbert (Dem., !, Ala.), by instruction of the Judiciary Committee, moved an amendment pro- viding that, in selecting names for grand and petit jurors, the clerk and commis- sloner shall in nowise have regard to political utilization. but shall look solely to the qualifications prescribed by law. Persons possessing such qualifications to be entitled to serve without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servi- tude; but no officer or employee of the United States, or of any State, shall be competent to serve.
 Representative Stephens (Dem. Ga. ) had ready for introduction in the House to be exchanged legal tender dollars for trads dollars at par, the trade dollars thus received to be recoined into legal tender dollars, the coinage of trade dol lars to cease.
 The House by vote of 128 yeas to 21 nays passed the Legislative Appro- priation bill.
 A caucus of Democratic Senators was held to decide upon the course to be taken with the Warner Silver bill. No decision was reached but it is not be- lieved that the bill can be acted on this session.
