A Republican Mares Nest.

Cincinnati Enquirer: CDR. Kellar,of
Hot Springs, Arkansas, called on us
Yesterday to make an explanation as to
how the Hot Springs Evening Tele-
graph came to place cut of the Con-
ledcrate flag over its account of biz
meeting that took place near the town
about week ago. The paper is edited
by a gentleman named Webber, who is
from Iowa, and fought in the Union
army all through the war. He re-
moved to Hot Springs but n short time
ago, and purchased the paper from
Governor Rector and others. Its fix
lures and type are old, many Of its cuts
having been made and used during the
war. The meeting spoken of was one
TO which all cOlOrs, conditions and sex
es of Garland county had been invited,
and was i'm the nature of a political
love-feast. Mr.. Webber directed his
foreman to place the cut of a democrat
ic rooster over the account of II. The
foreman came back alter "A while and
reported that he could not find a cut of
the desired bird, but that he had a cut
of the American flag. very well; put
that up instead" >" said Mr.. Webbcr. IL
appears that the foreman had hurricdly
picked up an old cut Of the Confederate
flag, and did not notice its character in
his haste. No one was more Mortified
than MIR. Webber when he saw the awll-
ward mistake that had been made, ard
the next day he published two-col-
umn explanation of it. The republic
cans bought up all the papers contain
ing the cut that they could find, and
have been sending them north to show
how unrepentant the south is. On
such slender foundations are their
hopes for success based. Not one of
them, though, has taken any notice OF
Mr.. Webber's explanation, or has men
toned the fact that he was IA gallant
Union soldier during the war"

spring of Ice cold water that bubbles up
ov' a rock and disappears on the 9TH
er side, and no one has been able to find
Whefe Tie water goes. At another
point IN the same county Is a large
spring about twenty feet square, that Is.
apparently, only some eighteen or
twenty inches I'm depth, with a sandy
bottom. TIE sand can be plainly seen,
ut on looking closer iJ is perceived
that this sand is in perpetual state Of
unrest. No bottom hes ever been
Iouud 20 this spring. It is said that
teamstcr, on reaching this spring one
day, deceived by its apparent shallow
ness, concluded TO soak one OF his wag-
on wheels to cure the looseness Of its
tire. He, there fore, took IL of and
rolled it into the, as Ee thought, shall
low water. He never laid his eyes on
that wagon wheel again.

caverns, many of which have been eN-

| It appears that they had probably en-

in search of water. IL had finally mar

J DAYS, and, If they had not been found,

Tho Mother RnIes The World.

IL is hard for young mother, who

rounded by critical imitators, who copy

an intelligent mother, who is delicate
and refined in her manners, and does
not consider 1t necessary 10 be one wO-
man in a drawiug-roOm and an entire
ly different person In everyday life,
but who is a true mother, aud always
a tender, charming Voman, you Will in
variably see her habits of speech and
perfect manners repeated in her chill
dIen. Great, rough mon and noisy,
busy boys will always tone down their
voices and step lightly and try 70 DO
more mannerly VIXEN she stops TO give
them a kind word or pleasant smile,
for true mother viii never fail 20 say
or do all the pleasant things that she
can that will in any way help or lilt up
and cheer those whose lives are shaded
with care and toll. The mother OF to-
day rules the world of tomorrow.

INDIAN MARKMANSHIP.
Otto, the Son Of Chief Joseph,
Shooting NickelS and Glass
Balls While BIindfOIded.
81 Francisco -. Ancnst 2Oth.

san Francisco Call, August 10th.
Glass ball shooting and various other
exhibitions OF Skjlltul manipulation of
parlor rifles are at present attracting
considerable attention both in Europe
and the United States, and the tele-
graph reports almost daily some won
drOus achievement, so that the sport
has received fresh impetus on our coast,
and has been attended with some really
good shooting, particularly in the case
OF Otto, son OF Joseph, a Nez Perces
chief. \ representative of the Call
availed himself of an invitation extend
ed by Capt. M'Donald to witness an eX-
hibition OF fancy shooting by his ward,
and was amply rewarded, as the follow
iEg = III at, asG. 1t may be well to state
unaJ Cne scene OI operations was room
sparsely lighted and the general cir
cumstances rather unfavOrable for sue
cessiul shnotIng TiiO isaSile-4t~l- Tor q
shooting exhibition consisted of a tri-
angular wooden frame, at the apex of
which a bill-pOster representing the
figure of Il man had been pasted, a piece
OF glass about one inch square inserted
for an eye, at the other corners of the
triangle a set of brass knobs were in
serted in the frame. On either side,
above and below, slanting iron plates
were fixed to cross-bars and numbers
OF glass balls hung at various distances
from each other. At the back of the
apparatus gong occupied a central po-
sitiOn. The first experiment consisted
of blindfold shooting. \ nickel five
cent piece was glued to a figure, and
the young sharpshOoter, blindfolded,
turned around in various directions,
and was finally placed in a direct line
of the object with rifle minus the sight
and at distance of some twenty-five feet.
The first shot sent the nickel flying
around the room. On examination an
iDdentatiOn was found on its very edge.
The second test consisted of placing a
small piece of tinted paper on the glass
used as an eye for the figure, and then
placing a large piece of card board in
front of and touching it, so that it was
completely hidden from view. The
shooter was again blindfolded, and the
first shot shattered the glass, the bullet
having passed through the very center
of the tinted paper. There were various
other tests, such as breaking three
swinging balls by one shot, and break
ing a ball placed Immediately behind
the attendant, the ball, ewing to pre-
viOus contact with the brass knobs, or
iron plates, taking circuitous course.
