ONE MANS LIFE:
The Thread Upon which the
Democratic Majority la the
Senate Hangs.

Cincinnati Bnquirtr.l
Senator Grover, of Oregon is dan
gerOusly sick at Wilmington, Del. 1t
is reported that he has suffered a
shock of paralysis. The news of his
serious illness, has excited considera-
BILE apprehension in democratic cir
cles here, because 0 fthe fact that the
Oregon legislature is republican, and
would doubtless elect a republican to
fill his term. which does not ex-
pire until 1888, and because the loss
of another democratic senator would
~endanger the democratic supremacy in
the senate after March 4, 1881.
The senate now stands forty
three democrats and thirty two
republicans, counting David Davis
as a democrat. In 1881, the terms of
twenty-five senators expire-fourteen
democratic senators go out and eleven
republican senator's, Nine of the
democratic vacancies will doubtless be
filed with democrats. to-wit: those
elected or to be elected by Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Tennes-
see and Texas. In Ohio a republican
has already been elected, and Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania will probably send re-
publicans in the place of their four
democrats now representing those
states. In other words, the democrats
are almost sure to lose FIVE senators,
and they will gain one in Mississippi,
where a democrat is already elected to
succeed Bruce. Conceding the Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania vacancies to the
republicans, the state will stand
in 1881, thirty-nine democrats and
thirty-seven republican - counting
Davis as a democrat; but if Senator
Grover should die and a republican
be sent to gil his place, the senate
would stand t~hirty-eight democrats
and thirty-eight republicans, still
counting Davis as a democrat, and
counting Indiana as a sure democratic
state. From this it may be seer how
~precarious a hold the democrats have
upon the United States senate, and
how much anxiety is felt by the dem
ocratic leaders over the coming sena
torial elections. The democrats have
some hopes of returning a democrat
from New Jersey, and some of getting
a democratic senator in Maine, and it
is quite among the possibilities that
the democratic supremacy in the SEN
ate may depend upon the selection Of
a democrat in Maine,

by pausing to look into some

II HAUNTED 2
Startling Incidents Of the Life in
the Winter Palace.

LIE Voltaire, of Paris, publishes in
its st. Petersburg correspondence a
recent incident in the life Of the car.
for which it claims entire authentici-
ty. The incident is said to have hap
pened at five O'Clock in the morning,
when all was silent in the Winter
Palace. One of the servants, who
stood high in the masters favor,
thought he heard the cars voice
calling him and entered the imperial
bedroom. The emperor, awakened
suddenly by the noise of his footsteps
and not recognizi gthevaletinth dim
light of the lamp which swung over his
head, drew a revolver from under his
pillow and fired. The servant fell to
the floor with a groan. The room was
quickly filled with watchmen, mem
bers of the household and courtiers,
fearful that another attempt had
been made or the cars life. When
the wounded man was carried to an
other room, and the doctors pro-
nounced his injury to be fatal. Effort
was made on all sides to prevent the
news getting abroad, and it was gen.
orally given out among the people
that the man had died by his own
hand. The incident is said to have
augmented the czar's terrors. His
kitchen, which for some time has
been placed under strict surveillance,
has now three physicians attached to
it, each of them receiving 1000
roubles a month. One examines
the food, the meats, the vegetables or
pastry; another tastes the wines and
liquors; the third superintends the
making of the dishes. They are all
subject to grave responsibilities. At
the least illness of the car they run
the risk Of being arrested as accom-
plices on a charge Of high treason, and
OF being instantly banished to Siberia.
The VOltaire carries its list OF i'm
probabilities so far as to say that the
car has not unfrequently been known
to take emetics after dinner. Have
we not here" it cries, IAN episode

An exchange recalls the fact that
three cadets have entered West Point
who were colored. One of them,
Lieutenant Flipper, now of the Tenth
cavalry, graduated. The other was
unable to go through the course, and
Whitaker is the last. Two colored
cadets have entered Annapolis, one
from South Carolina, Conyers, and
the other from Mississippi, Baker.
Neither of them was able to get out
o fthe fourth class. The lot of the
colored cadet in neither institution
has been a happy one. No one spoke
to them unless while on duty. They
lived the lives Of solitude. They
were among hundreds but knew nc
one They have been prosecuted in
hundreds of ways. If a cadet saw fl
to speak to one of them he was i'm

The far west ia ever teeming with
prodigies Of one kind or another. Its
latest acquisition is what it claims to
be the strongest man in the world,
which is an Italian, Angelo Car

no, Nevada, is five feet ten inches
high, weighs 100 pounds, is a day la
bOrer, OF temperate habits, has a broad
heavy, good-natured face, an extraor-
binary development of chest, and
large, leshy hands. When stripped,
the most remarkable feature is his
spinal column; which seems double,
and is twice the usual width, while
all his bones and joints are very large.
He can lit, and has repeatedly lifted.
with one finger lthe third of the right
handy, men weighing from $50 to 200
pounds, by placing lis finger under
the hollow Of one oftheir feet, and SC
carrying them around a room, He
can strike a blow with his fist with
the power of 200 pounds, as measured
on a register. Like most muscular
men, be is amiableof disposition ,quiet
in manner, and particularly fond o
peace. Deceived by appearances, two
big men fell upon him lately. Carde-
la grasped one in each hand, and
knocked them together until they
we're insensible and half dead. Hi

Capt. J. Mullett, who quilted New
York for Omaha on Friday, says thai
he has captured every sea lion now
exhibited anywhere in the world. He
was for many years master Of an En-
glish vessel in the guanO trade, and II
was while lying off the Chineha Is
lands of South America that he
studied and became interested in the
sea lion. Being told hat this animal
would be a valuable addition TO the
geological gardens and travelling men
ageries, he gave up his occupation
and engaged In the new venture, cap
turing the animals on the coast of
California, the only other place where
they are to be found, and the best
place in point of proximity to the
routes oil travel. He has several yes
sells employed in the trade. Finding
what is called a roOkery of sea lions
on the rocks along the coast, his men
approach stealthily, lasso the beasts,
cage them, fasten lines to the cages,
throw the cages into the surf, and
float them to the vessels lying beyond
the surf. Capt. Mullett has cap
tured two hundred sea lions. Their
average price to showmen is $1,000.
lie has provided the showmen dealers
and gardens Of San francisco, Chicago,
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
New York, England and Germany
with specimens Of this race of aquatic
beasts. At first the sea lion was
transported 10 a special car, contain
ing a tank of water. When the water
grew foul the animal died. Now it is
not found necessary to use a tank ii
the animals body was occasionally
moistened. The sea lion is furious at
first, but is easily tanned, and becomes
obedient. The captain says that no
other animal, except the elephant, is
so intelligent. -Four sea lions that
we're captured by Captain Mullett are
now in the Central park. 1t is said
that wherever there is Il sea lion mOre
people congregate around its tank
than around the other animals in the
same exhibition. The sea lion is Of
the seal species, having coarse fur and
attaining a larger size.
While Captain Mullett was in New
York he received a telegram from
California notifying him of the cap
ture by his mel OF two ea-elephants,
and Of the fact that both were feeding
and in good condition. lie says that
the sea-elephant has never before
been seen by any living man. Wise
men have discussed the existence Of
the animal, many of Them declaring it
fabulous, although what purports to
be portions of the sea-elephants skel-
eton are exhibited in Europe. There
fore Captain Mullett telegraphed
every possible purchaser in the world,
notifying them Of the acquisition of
the curiosity and opening bids for
them. A firm in st. Louis made the
highest offer and obtained the ami
mails. They are mates, weigh 600 or
700 pounds, aud are possessed Of the
probosces and tusks that give them
their nickname. Captain Mullett
thinks Of turning his attention to the
walrus next. He says this beast has
never been exhibited. 1t attains a
weight of three tons.
