The Terrible Taraftula.

The particulars of the pitiable death
Of child Of j. J. Gillespie, County Sur
veyor of Harris County, by the bite Of
that dreadful animal the tarantula,
which was given as an item two days
ago, comes in an exchange. Mr.. GILES
pie, while engaged last week 10 the
country on survey, ran across taran-
tula Of such unusual size that he felt a
desire to possess the animal as a curl
esity. To this end he captured it, and
improvised place of deposit from one
of pair of extra boots he had with him.
In this he placed the tarantula, and shut
him in by blanket thrust into the boot
leg. Returning home at night the boots
with other articles were thrown down,
and the presence of'the tarantula was for
the time wholly forgotten. That night
being cool, his wife and mother Of the
child took the blanket to cover the little
one and went to bed, little dreaming of 9

The Dark stock in Ireland.
TNaturp1

A good deal is said about "the dark
stock" prevailing in the west and south
west of Ireland. But one Of the chief
sources of that element is entirely over
looked, probably because too recent and
too obvious to arrest the attention Of
the paleolithic and neolithic ethnolO-
gists. The source in question is the
Spanish, due to the close commercial and
even social intimacy maintained by
Spain with the west coast Of Ireland
down to quite recent times. There were
important Spanish trading stations at
Dingle, Valentia, Cabirciveen, Bantry,
Timoleague, Galway and elsewhere.
Many of the old houses in these places
are built in the Spanish style, and itmay
not be generally known that Valentia
Island was actually held by the Span
iards until expelled during the vigorous
administration of Cromwell. Many Of
the peasantry in Kerry and Galway bear
an unmistakable Spanish expression, and
this factor ought certainly 70 be taken
into account in dealing with the COM
plicated problem Of Irish ethnology.

Where She Got Her Plot.

Miss Sprague, the Young lady who
wrote "An Earnest Triaer," went East
two or three years ago, in the summer,
on pleasure trip, and drifted accident
ally to Charlemont, little town in Deer
field Valley up in Franklin County,
Mass. She took a great fancy to the
village and the beautiful surrounding
hills, but fell in love particularly with a
couple of old-fashioned maiden ladies
whom she found there and who figure in
her book as the Miss Dcsboroughs. So
her visit of few days heightened into a
stay of several months, during which she
gratified her ambition to do something
by teaching district school, She be-
came familiar with the region, Its inhabi-
tants, traditions and great Hoosac Tun-
mel Railroad interest, and thus it hap
pened that the Ohio girl laid the scene
Of her romance IN a Massachusetts, local.
ty. It is said that q member of her
family supplies the groundwork for one
of her characters, and it is possible that
her own experience may have afforded
suggestions for another.

A Sharp Race.

All Armenians have the same strong,
heavy build; the same thick beetle eye

springing directly, and without the inter

lustreless eye; the same mass of clothes

same large brown hand, and written in
each curved fnger-tip, in every line of
the capacious palm, the same-"It is

It is said that Father McNamara, who
Is endeayoring to establish an independ-
ent Catholic Church in Brooklyn, has
peculiar ideas regarding fit religious
tunes. He has hymns sung to the
Wearing Of the Green" and exile Of
Erin" One of the Psalms Of David is
set to yankee Doodle" and another
(the goth Psalm) is sung to the tune of
"Paddles Forever" There Is nothing
very peculiar" about the Fathers
"ideas of religious tunes" We have
heard "Gayly the Troubadour" convert
ed into q religious tune" and it Is
certainly not better fitted for such
services than yankee Doodle" and not

or "Wearing of the Green" "Rosin

satirical song on an old bachelor named
Rossum was adapted to it. The air of
the sentimental song, 'The Rose That
All Are Praising," used to be heard in
churches as well as parlors in this city,
and seemed as little out Of place in one
as the other. Another hymn, beginning
"Saw Ye MY Savior" though probably
never heard now, was once popular and
sung to an old Scotch air, "Saw Ye My
Father" Burns song, "Where Are the
JOYS / Have Met in the MorningY is
adapted to it. The air to Moore's song in
"Lalla Rookh," Farewell toThee, Araby's
Daughter" was once frequently sung tc
sacred song describing Christ's birth in
stable and his cradle In a manger
Henry Kirke Whites well-known hymn
"The Star of Bethlehem" is usually
sung to the air of "Bonnie Doom" which
Burns says was composed by gentleman
who had been advised that the way tc
make a Scotch tune was to "stick to thu
black keys of the harpischord and pre-
serve some sort of rhythm" 1t is fine
Iair, though, and excellent sacred music

Young Ladies' Journal1

Having gone into fashionable Lon
don hatters to get his hat blocked, the
artist was requested to sit down in the
outer shop while waiting. He took a
chair by the corner Of the counter-of
course without his hat--and looked very
much at home. While the clerk was
still absent at the other end
of the shop, well known
social notability, who prided himself on
the perfection Of his costume, entered,
and taking Whistler for the halter, at
once addressed him testify: "I say, this
hat you sold me the other day won't do!
You must take it back. It's too tight;
it's too small; it doesn't fit me well in
any way"
Whistler, looking up at him very care
fully through his eyeglass, here replied

terrible reptile. The tarantula, it seems,
had adhered to the blanket when drawn
from the boot, and was carried with it to
the bed.
1t is enough to make one shudder to
think of that loathsome animal in the
bed of a sleeping babe. Entangled in the
blanket and seeking to escape, it must
have come in contact with the body Of
the infant, which probably, excited by
its crawling touch, moved so as to excite
its ire. The child was bitten and died
in few hours from the poisonous bite.

And feel miserably," said hard-working
man. The doctor questioned him and
found that he had been habitually costive
for years, that now his kidneys were dis
ordered and his whole system deranged.
Kidney Wort was recommended and faith
fully taken and in short time every
trouble was removed. The cleansing and
tonic power of this medicine on the bowels
and kidneys is wonderful.

AN APP0RTI0NMENT SCHEME.
Our Legislative Representation shouls
be Based Upon the Coming Census.
Mitchell Canitol.

Our Legislative Representation Should
be Based Upon the Coming Census.
Mitchell Capitol.
We have o. one or two occasions hereto
fore referred to the last legislative appor.
tionment as an unjust and f1agrant violation
Of the principles and science Of = represen.
ta.ive government. We have shown that
our form of government consists of three
equal and coordinate branches.' That the
legislature is n of these branches, and
representatives,. We have also shown that
the organic law of this territory, the old
counties Of Hutchinson, Armstrong, Hanson
and Dawson have been denied repreeenta-
ton in one branch of the legislature and
therefore deprived Of their equal rights
with other counties. A portion of the
territorial press have referred to this matter
as a great wrong, but as it does not affect
their immediate locality let it pass.
We are not willing to let it pass. It is no
small matter, to disfranchlse four organized
counties, and the people thereby disfran-
chised can not afford to overlook such an
infringement of their guaranteed rights.
It is not too late to correct this wrong,
and in our judgment the only way it can be
corrected is BY a new a~pportionment, which
should take place - soon as possible after
the census returns of June mex i. Congress
has an undoubted right to authorize = new
apportionment Of the whole territory, pur-
suant to the population - demonstrated BY
the next census. To this end We propose that
our delegate in congress secure an act, ap.
pointing Governor Howard and the district
attorneys of the four judicial districts of
this territory = board Of superintendent,
aud authorize them to reapportion this ter
ritory after the said census returns, into
council and representative districts, which
shall be entirely independent Of each other
and which shall give all the people Of this
territory q voice in the laws By which they
are to be governed and taxed. The Law
should be 40 framed as to authorize the gov.
ernor to give full force and legal effect t
the new superintendent by his proclamation
to be issued Immediately after the work shall
have been performed.
In addition, to this new apportionment
and in view Of the large increase in our pop
~ulation the past three year,, we have nj
, doubt congress will allow = proportional
increase in our representation in the leeis
~lature. We speak for four ~disfranchise'
counties. What Say you gentlemen Of th
prees Of Dakota?
