The Catholic clergy and laity who were
inspecting the great farms of Northern
Dakota last week, express themselves as com.
pletely impressed with the advantages Of
that section Of country.
The Dalrymple farm is more perfectly
managed than ever before. The quantity
and quality of farm machinery employed
is astonishing.
The report of a partial failure Of crops
in the northwest have caused a speculative
in wheat, by which the farmers
east have been able to receive per bushel a
price exceeding that Of last year by several
cents. The quantity and quality of the
Dakota crop this year will astonish some
Of these spectators.

Miss Ida Stevens farm near Wheatland 956

New wheat brings eighty cents per bushel
in Fargo.
One hundred and fifty self binders are

1t is said that there are 400, 900 bushels
of wheat being cut, within a radius Of six
miles of Fargo, and not more than one

Bodie: The Mechanics Union at Bodie are
On strike for an increase of wages and a re-
duction of time to eight hours per day. Be
-ween two and three hundred men marched

him two hours to open the doors or take the
chances of having trouble. The Bndie mine

THE HYERS SISTERS.

In general terms il is safe to say that what
ever or whoever comes to the public under
the auspices of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau
may be set down as worthy of the public's
consideration. The Hyers Sisters come to
Carson under this management. AS to what
the newspapers. agree upon as their verdict,
the same is quite fairly set forth in the follow
ing, from the Portland, Maine, Press "They
are excellent comedians in their way, and
the musical talent in the troupe surprises all
who have not seen them. The Hyers Sisters
are well known in Portland, and they are
probably the best colored singers before the
public. Miss Madah Hyers, the soprano,
has voice that in the upper register Is re-
rnarkably pure, clear and sound, and its COM
pass, We are assured, is wide that she can
sng the G above the staff. She sings with
taste and expression. Musically, Miss Madah
Hyers is the most noticeable in the company.
Miss Louise Hyers has good mezzo-soprano
voice which she uses judiciously. Mr. J. W.
have excellent voices. Mr. King would put
% the blush many tenors his opposite IN
color. His voice is pure head voice, and is
very even throughout in the quality OF Its
tome The acting is literally interspersed
with plantation and jubilee songs, which in
truth give the drama most of its flavor and
color The rendering of these quaint nelo-
DIES was marked by beauty, richness and
weird fascinatiun indesCribable and which
we have never heard equaled by any other
troupe The antics of Billy Kersands deserve
a word of praise. He is really one of the
best features OF the enjoyable entertainment
given by this troupe. At the Carson Opera
House Oh the evenings of the 10Th and 26th.

A distinction has been drawn by Rev.
George Henslow between the kind Of in
tellect in brutes and that in men. 1t is
given for what it is worth: sit has
seemed to me that brute reasoning is al
ways practical, but never abstract.
Brutes do wonderful things suggested by
the object fact before them, but I think
never go beyond it. Thus, a dog left in
4 room rang the bell to fetch the servant.
Had not the dog been taught to ring the
bell, (Which on inquiry proved to have
been the casey this would have been alb
stract reasoning but it was only practical.
The Arctic fox, too wary to be shot like
the first who took bait tied to string
which was attached to the trigger Of a
would dive under the snow, and so
pull the bait down below the line of fire.
This is purely practical reasoning: bat
had the fox pulled the string first out
Of the line OF fire in order to discharge the
gun and then get the bait, that would have
been abstract reasoning
Brutes and boys arc just alike, in that
nothing occurs to them beyond what the
immediate fact before them may suggest
The one kind l call purely practical
reasoning, which both have; the other
abstract, which brutes never acquire, but
which the boy will as his intelligence
develops"

A Little Story About the Zulus.

A missionary some years ago preached
to the Zulus about hell, and told them
how hot it was and how surely they
would go there if they did not change
their courses. A Zulu chief, having
heard him. invited him to dinner. The
meal ended the chief, says South At
rican newspaper, turned sharply round
to the missionary and said: ''What was
that you said this morning about putting
the great Zulu people in a great fire after
they were dead9 Come this way, and I
will show you what the Zulus are; you
don't know them, I can see." he took
him to pile of wood, which was of ire
mendus proportions big as a bay
store-and had 1t set fire to all round.
When it was properly in blaze, and
gave out so much heat that no one could
come near 1t, the king summoned the
two, regiments who had listened to the
sermon and ordered them to charge the
burning pile and extinguish it. Naked as
they were, without shoes or any covering
at all, they rushed into the burning mass
like madmen, raving and yelling, and
did not stop till hardly vestage of the
fire remained. The king then SAID to the
missionary: "You have seen that. That
is what we will do with your hell. The
Zulus won't play with your fires, and
you had better clear out of this country
at once, OF I will have tlittle fire. made
for you to put out" The missionary
took the hint, and left the kraal the
same evening. Is it any wonder, ask
the people, after this, that Gattling guns
and rocket batteries have no terror for
the Zulus2-and it is certain they have
none. The Zulus, when ordered to at
tack, attack; and though they may be
mown down by thousands still come on,

cell and let her spend the remainder of
the night in the public room up stairs.
The pleasant task Of telling the poor girl
that we were assured of her innocence
was left to ME. The Captain went down
stairs and brought her up. She was a
very pretty girl.
"'My girl l said to her. when she
came up, the money you were accused of
stealing has been found, and we all know
you are innocent. You will be dis

''The honest girl didn't get down on
her knees and offer up any prayers of
thankfulness. Assured In her mind that
she was we'll out out of the scrapc, she
changed her tactics wonderfully. After
looking scornfully for minute at the
man who had caused her arrest, she broke
out into string of oaths half yard long
and for fully ten minutes cursed Mr. B.
and all his friends in style not to be ex-
celled by an expert bootblack She was
able at prayer, but her praying capacity
was nothing to her talent for swearing.
There was not an oath or a vile name ever
heard by mortal ears that she did not ap-
ply to poor B., and it was all done so
fquickly that there was nothing left for
him but to stand and take it like a lamb
After she got through he Gained her ex-
cited mind very much by putting $25 in
her hand. She was discharged in the
morning; Mr.. 3. returned to Connecticut,
and Judge c. sailed for California ours

him stay in the city long enough to pros
ecute the policeman who locked him

''Thus,'' concluded the jolly landlord
"did justice triumph, and rescue the
innocent from the hands of the spoiler."
