The Leayenworth Times has dis
covered that the vice president can
vote on questions before the Senate
the same as senators, and that this
will pat an end to all the trouble
about the casting vote" If the Sen
ate is evenly divided, it says, there
will be no tie, for the vice president
will simply vote when his name
rs called and that will settle the
matter ! II IL strange that we should,
have lived under our present form
of government for a hundred years,

Friday night. While engaged in
peacefully dancing in full uniform,
wish every man a sword ut one side
and a lady at the othel, Il low loafer

tol at the chandelier. The effect was
disastrous. Nineteen Of the guards
plunged head first out, OF the win
daVs 20 the sidewalk below, and
many Of them were severely hurt.
The captain, Ike Blutus, fell on his
sword rather than surrender the
youth and beauty in his keeping to
the nineteen year oEd outlaw, and
many of the ladies present were bad
ly trampled by the panic stricken
soldiers in their efforts to escape.
The lieutenant and two of his in
trcpid companions were found four
miles vest Of the city where they
had fallen from exhaustion. The

REV. EDWARD CowLEY, on the End

A YOUNG man entered the office of the

Holmes ma. ried Mrs. Holiday, widow
with a grown up daughter. Three
months ago the daughter married man
named Bennefeld, and the mother pre-
scented her with sixty acres of land.
Holmes who had married the widow for
her property, was very angry at this and
frequently threatened the whole family.
About three o'clock on the morning of
the 4th, he put his devilish threats into
execution, nearly killing Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennefeld by beating them with heavy
club. The appearance of the neighbors
alone prevented the wretch from MUIR
dering his wife also. Holmes was
arrested aud will doubtless plead insanity.

A Pleasant Remedy for Toothache,

"Our Cook" says 7. c. Osborn, NJ.
d., Greensboro, Ala, presented her
self to me with swollen cheek, asking
for something to relieve the toothache,
from which she had been suffering all
night, and for which she refused to
have the tooth extracted. As there was
nothing of the usual kind at hand, |
was on the point of telling her to call
later at my office, or go to dentist,
when il occurred to my mind that there
was in the house vial of compound
tincture of benzoin, which | had been
using upon young mother as a protec-
ton against sore nipples.
"After cleansing the decayed tooth |
saturated a pledget of cotton lint with
the tincture and packed it we'll into the
cavity, hoping this would suffice for the
time, and bidding her to come back in
two or three hours if she was not re-
lieved. was turning away when she
remarked that it might not be neceH-
sary perhaps, as the pain was already
gone. Surprising her faith had a large
share in the relief, | would not allow
myself to think that the medicine had
anything to do with the cure any more
than SO much hot water would have
done.
"But when ! arrived at my Office
there were two other patients awaiting
me with the same ailliction, and | de-
termined, by way OF experiment, to use
the same remedy. To my agreeable
surprise both patients declared them
selves Immediately relieved, and begged
a vial Of the tincture for further use.
"During the Winter a number of
similar cases applied, and were instant
ly relieved by the same treatment, all
expressing much satisfaction with the
remedy.
Gin December told my druggist of
the discovery, and recommended him
to sell it to any person applying for
'toothache drops This, he reports, he
has done, and that every one seems de-

TIE Frozen Truth.
NarEon lNeY- } Anpeal

Ever since the cold snap the Washoe
and Pmte Indians have been selling
jack-rabbits in astonishing quantities at
figures which have ruled considerably
below their usual market prices. Bill
jackson, who has been out hunting and
prospecting for week or ten days past,
tells remarkable story in connection
with the bountiful supply Of rabbits
which the Indians are at present fur
nishing A few days ago he visited
Kings canon, and there he asserts he
found acres Of iack-rabbits frozen still
on the ground Rather than shoulder
the responsibility OF the remarkable
statement, the appeal gives the yarn IN
Jachson's own words:
"Y0u see the cold snap drove the
rabbits into the canon out Of tile wind.
One moonlight night came across a
drove Of over five hundred making for
the canon. They were all huddied to.
Eether, getting as much warmth as pos
sible from each others bodies The
drove were packed together as close as
the threads of q three.ply carpet, and
as they moved along they looked like a
big army blanket drawn over the
ground. Taey passed close by me and

cheap around town. Why out IN the

Other hunters report Thousands of
frozen ack-rabbits in Carson valley, al
though none have as yet viewed the as-
tOnishing sights described by Jackson.
