Cows Tails as BarOmeters.

John B. Coyner, farmer, residing
near Palestine, Hancock county, Ind,
relates singular incident which hap
pened at his farm a short time since.
His hired man was in the act of water
ing the COWS, nine in number. They
were standing around the pump trough,
awaiting his action, when all at once,
with tails erect, they made stampede
down the lane as fast as their legs would
carry them. The cause of this sudden
freak was mystery to the hired man,
but it was not long before he was let in
to what appears to have been the secret
of the stampede. Suddenly, although
the sky was clear and the atmosphere
still, young cyclone, not over twenty
feet in breadth, darted down from the
the sky, and striking the earth near the
pump, twisted offfive large beech shade
tlees, standing near by, as though they
had been mere weeds. When the COWS
made the stampede there were no indi-
cations of its approach, and by what
mysterious rule of foresight the cattle
50 melt trouble in the air is one of the
things which emo Teller can find out. :"

Democratic Assertions and the Record.

Senator Wallace said in recent speech
at Philadelphia: emo northern senator
or representative would dare to vote, nor
has one ever yet voted in favor of the
payment of pensions to southerners en-
gagged in the rebellion In the senate,
on February %, 1879, the arrears of
pensions bill being under consideration,
an amendment was offered that no ex-
rebel soldier ''shal be entitled to
receive any pension under this act"
The vote on the amendment was "a in
the affirmative. all Republicans; rs in
the negative, all Democrats except 2,
Of the "a Democrats, were from the
north, and enc of them was Sena-
tor Wallace. On the same day it was
moved also that jeff Davis be excluded
from receiving pension under the act.
On this motion, % Republicans voted in
the affirmative and 90 Democrats in the
negative. Mr.. Wallace "dodged," but
there were 5 northern Democrats who
voted in favor of including Davis. In
view of this fact, what is the name for
the offence Mr. Wallace committed in
his speech? Perhaps, though, the rec
ord is "forgery." May be it is a
"mistake." Or was Mr.. Wallace merely
perplexed and almost discouraged? ~

The awful risk of skinning for straight,
Or, standing pat, to raise 'em all the limit,
And thus, by bluffing get ito draw-to skln'

That luck is heir to--'ts a consummatlon
Devoutly to be wished. To draw-to SKIN:
To skin perchance to bust-aye, there's the rub
For in that draw of three, what cards may come,
When we have shuff1ed off tn uncertain pack,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
Which makes calamity of a bob-tailed flush.
For who would bear the overwhelming blind,
The reckless straddle, the wait on the edge.
The insolence of pat hands, and the lifts
That patient merit Of the buffer takes,
When he himself might be much better off
By simply passing? Who would trays-up hold,
And 60 out on a small progressive raise,
But that the dread of something after call,
The undiscovered ace-full, to whose strength
Such hands must bow-puZzles the will,
And mokes us rather keep the chips we have,
Than be curious about hands we know not of.
Thus bluffing does make towards of us all.
And thus the native hue of four-heart flush
Is sickied with some dark and cussed club.

THE GREEDY SOUTH.
She Gets More Money for So-calIed 4" Internal I'M
provementsO than is LeqitimateIy Demanded

She Gets More Money for So-calIed Sc Internal Inn
provements' than is LesitimateIy Demanded.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says:
At the Academy of Music in New York
last week Senator Conkling alluded to
the southern hunger for internal i'm
provements." He said in effect that the
policy of expanding large sums upon
creeks and bayous no trace of which
could be found upon the map, and in the
erection of public buildings in hamlets
and country villages, is dangerous and
growing means of depicting the treasury.
Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken, of
South Carolina, has recently been taken
severely to task by the press and poll
tlclans OF his state for telling his con-
stltuents that the Northern Democrats
were not only not respectable, but that
they were swinish in their unwillingness
to give the South the share she thinks
she ought to have in appropriations for
these "lnternal improvements" Mr..
A1ken's censors allege that he was indis-
Greet.
Although both Mr.. Conkling and Mr..
Aiken are in a position to speak with
authority, neither of them attempted to
show by figures the appropriations for
the two sections made by recent con-
crosses; and, in fact, the figures have not
been readily attainable until within q
few days. Official tables have now been
prepared showing these figures for a
series of years. An examination of them
shows that the south has been good to
herself. The tables are too large to
treat otherwise than summarily; but they
will doubtless be printed for public refer
ence. In the showing, the south in
cludes both the lately rebellious states
and the fourishing border states-Dela-
ware, Maryland, Tennessee and Missouri
which form part of the present solid
south. This is for the sake of fairness.
The following is a recapitulation
the tables:

Total NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $5,732,O05 72
In 1879 the north asked of congress
the return for internal improvements of
2 6-10 per cent. of the money she had
paid into the treasury. The south asked
and received - per cent. of her revenue.
In the following year the comparison
stands 2 40 per cent. for the north
against Is per cent. for the south. So,
in the year 1878 the result is found to be
3 6-10 per cent. for the north against IA
per cent. for the south.
A still more striking illustration of the
comparative iberality of the south to-
ward itself is found in computation of
the receipts from and appropriations for
the two sections per capita. According
to the census of 1870 the south had a.
population of IA, 009, 315 souls, while the
northern states had one of "a, 916, 2S3.
Assuming that the proportions have not
changed since then, or rather that the
itself has not changed, it is
found that the north paid into the treas
ury during the two years 1879 and 1880,
$19.77 for every individual of its popula-
ton, while the south paid only $4.89.
At the same time congress appropriated
for the north fraction less that SO cents
and for the south 81 cents for each in
dividual. Yet Mr.. Aiken pleads for a
laroar share

ne census enumerator has not yet finished
MS labors, so it is impossible for me to give
Inc population, but l should think it has in
creased four or five fold in the past two wears.
GLENDALE is not a mining town, as many
would suppose by reading the correspondence
from here. The mines which supply the ex-
tenslve smelling works located here are situ-
ated nlne miles up Trapper creek-high up
among the snow-capped mountains, some of
the mines being near the timber line, The
ores are transported in wagons during the
summer months, and enough kept on hand to
last during the spring months when it is i'm
possible to freight over the road on account
of the depth of snow.
The works which were DESTROYED bv fire
over a year ago have been rebuilt OF an i'm
proved plan. Instead of lumber. the building
is sided with corrugated iron, which renders
it absolutely fire proof. a ditch one and a
half miles in length supplies a number of fire
hydrants with water, and also furnishes the
machinery with motive power.
The business men seem to be getting a lib
eral share OF patronage, yet one hears the
usual complaint of dull times. A lively bus
iness season is expected as soon as the trans
Ter of the Hecla company's property is made
to the purchasers.
y new smelling furnace of the Rachette
pattern is now in transit, which, Oh its arrival.
will be placed in position and will double the
reducing capacity of the works. Next season
all ores from the mines to the works will be
transported on a tramway 13 miles long, now

can be handled at all seasons of the wear.

From the driver of the Overland we last

Gallagher, who was shot at Trapper a few
few days ago by Dan Clutl, is considered very
plecarious, and grave fears are entertained
that the wounded man will die. The bullets
from Cuffs pistol entered the side of Gala

some idea may be gained of the probable
consequences Of the shooting. Gallagher has

what Eyes Ara For,

The saying that the faculty Of speech was
given to men that they may conceal their
thoughts is eclipsed by a reply attributed to
the Cirevalier Hunsen. He was present with
Bishop Bloomfield and Others at a "clairvOy-
ant Seance." The Bishop. amased AT the per
fOrmance, which, of course, he could not eX-
plain, exclaimed "What, then, were our
eyes given us for" BunSeu Immediately
replied. "To limit our vision" This Ger
tainly is a clever paradox. The significant
truth il expresses is confirmed in eve:y OBJ
serving mans experiences. The hopeful and
Sanguine and curious see wonders mentally
and can give the exact dimensions, capacity
and style of " castles in the air." But when
actual sight and experience are appealed to
the airy vision is limited and circurnscribed
by stubborn facts. Half our lives are spent
in dreaming and the sight IN dreams is far
reaching and maguifying. Bring the theories
of philosophers and discoverers-thc scope of
their imagined vistas-down to the test that
seeing is believing, and then they frequently
find the things they think they see are hut
,lissulying views. In the political field The
- far-secing politicians are preparing them
selves for an Illustration of Bunsen's detini-
ton. Al see but. since all do not see alike.
