The Arrie,

The great egg bird of the North sea Is
the arrie, while its southern cousin sup.
plies the people of San Francisco with a
liberal quantity OF its gayly-colored eggs
taken from the Fsrailons indeed, the
arrie is the only sea.bird OF real sconomic
value to man throughout orr wbc,e
northwest and north. 1t is probably
safe to say that tie numbers OF these
birds which assemble at st. George are
vastly grea'er than elsewhere on the
globe. As a faint but truthful stste-
ment of the existing fact, the following
may be said !: When the females begin
to squat continuously over their eggs,
along by the end OF June and the first OF
July, the males regularly relieve them,
taking turns in keeping the eggs warm.
thus they feed alternately, going out 10
sea for that purpose. This constant going
out and coming in during the day gives
rise, at regular hours in the morning and
evening, 10 q dark gird!e Of these birds
'hying just above the water, around
and around the island, in an endless
chain OF more than q quarter of a mile
broad and thirty mills In length This
great belt of hyipg aries represents just
one-half of the number of these birds
breeding on the cliffs, for only those arries

The Black Death.

A letter from st. Petersburg says OF
the plague in Russia: 1t has spread in
the southern provinces at a rapid rate,
and thousands upon thousands have died
with it in the last five days. The VIC
Tins when taken live only about two
hours and turn black all over as a negro.
All the physicians that were ordered to
take charge of the sick have died within
twenty.iour hours after their arrival.
The corpses are burned and SO are the
houses in which they die. Whole tewns
have been laid in waste in the past few
days, and the government has placed a
Gordon OF soldiers around the injected
provinces 80 that the people cannot get
out and spread the disease, and any who
attempt to break through the Gordon are
shot dead on the spot. The people are
beginning to feel uneasy all over the
empire, but the government, Of course,
does not allow the news 10 get out, and all
reports are suppressed but the worst of
all is nobody can get out of the empire.
The Austrian and German governments
have placed double Gordon of soldiers
along all the frontiers, preventing all
persons from entering their territory
from Russia. All persons from Russia
by railroad are stopped at the frontier
and detained twenty days in quarantine.
Their baggage sud clothing are disin-
ieeted, and if they prove ali right after
a lapse of twenty days, they are permit.
ted 10 cross the border. During the
twenty days quarantine the people are
housed in large sheds and barns, without
any accommodations or comforts OF
course a knowledge OF this fact keeps
people from travelling. There is no pos
sibility of slipping out anywhere. The
government is doing all in its power to
prevent the disease from spreading, but
il it is not stayed soon their victims may
tall by Thousands daily. 1t is much
worse than the yellow fever was in the
south last summer. 1t was brought here
by a Tsrtsn soldier a month ago, who,
OF leaving Turkish territory, pulled off
from the body of dead Turk on the
battle field handsome silk shawl, which
he tied around his body. On arriving
in his native town he presented the
shawl to his sweetfeart--a young lady
about nineteen years of age. She tied
it around her body and danced about for
Joy in a room in which were some
twenty-five people. In two hours she
died and in five hours after the intro
duction Of the shawl into the room the
whole party of twenty five had died--sll
turning black. In three days the whole
town, containing eleven hundred people,
had died, with the exception of forty
three persons who had fed in time. From
this town the pest commenced spreading
sill ovsr the country.

The Story OF a Cow Bell.

A correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Gazette sends the following story of a
law case from Floyd county, Indiana |:
4" May field and Featheriugill were we'll.
to-do farmers. One of Mayfield's cows
dropped bell from her neck in the
woods. The bell was we'll worn and was
supposed to be worth twenty five cents
when lost. One of Featheringill's boys,
in going through the woods one day,
found q COW bsll. May field claimed that
it was his bell, and demanded it, but
Featheringill refused to give 1t up.
Mayield then replevined it. and this
commenced law suit that absorbed the
farms and personal estates OF the con.
testants. Not being able to pay lawyers
fees any longer, the lawyers refused to
serve in the case, and the litigants wero
compelled to compromise, which they
did by each agreeing to pay his own
costs, which auounted to over ol6o0 I

To Accommodate the Lady.

Writing on the rail, Mr.. Burdette
says, in the Burlington Hawkeye: A

splendid labors in behalf of this restricting
bill should be recognized and acknowledged
as Senator Martin sought to have them.
If Hayes does not veto this very important
measure, the grandest stride toward averting
the threatened danger of Chinese inunda-

We hope to see Congressman Wren's name
made the subject of commendatory resolu-
ton in this regard. The part taken by him

THE CHINESE BILL PASSES THE
SENATE

The great current event of Congressional
legislation is the passage by the Senate of the
House bill restricting Chinese immigration.

the amendments will doubtless be concurred
in without delay. There is great doubt en-

Important measure. He has shown himself
so much the ally and servant of the interests

too highly commend the purpose as well as

THE RAILROAD QUESTION IN EU-
REKA.

For some reason which is unexplained our
copy of the Eureka Leader for Wednesday
last did not reach us until Sunday morning
Better late than never, we reproduce the
following editorial article therefrom
Senator Doolins atti tude on the railroad
question is the subject of much unfavorable
comment, and if the honorable gentlemen
could hear the tree expression of opinion on
the streets to-day, he would at once grasp
the idea that his representations were be sed
IN error When Mr. Doolin asserts that his
constituents find no fault with the charges on
local roads, he narrows down that element to
very few individuals. True, petition has
been forwarded to Carson signed by a number
of Eureka merchants, who state that they are
satisfied with the present rates and charges.
When it is remembered that, as class, they
are the least affected of any of Mr. Doolin's
constituents, and still further, that to escape
unjust Determinations it is their policy to
submit to any extortions that the railroad
companies may see fit to wiring out of the
community, the reason for their action can
be easily solved. This is a question in which
neither the tax payer nor business man fig
ures to any greater extent than the humblest
person, who is not so fortunate as to have
IL ID bIIc
the workingrnan and laborer who is vitality
injured. 1t is this element that suffer in the
end. From their daily wages comes the tax
on which the corporations fatten, and makes
living expenses on the Base rage higher
than in any other locality, open to railroad
communication, in the United States If
Mr.. Doolin would remember that this is a
question of vital Importance to every resident
of this country, to all who eat or wear clothes,
irrespective of the fact of their being prop
erty owners or taxpayers, and ignore the pc
titions of those who are least affected by the
high rates, he would find himself en- rapport
with the great majority of the citizens of Eu-
reka County.
This would seem to indicate that the Sen
ator is not quite on solid ground in making
his assertion that the railroad agitation in
Eureka originates with non-tax payers and
like irresponsibles.
