In q Quandarv.

Several years ago the pastures OF
Queensland were so thickly infested
With weeds that the sheep began to
perish from starvation. These weeds
we're OF variety which is held in high
estimation by the ordinary English rab-
blF, and q cargo OF rabbits was intro
duced. The rabbits ate the weeds. buf
unfortunately they did not stop here,
bus kept on multiplying and devouring
every living thing, and swarmed into
the streets and houses to that extent
that life became almost unendurabls 10
the unhappy Australian. 1t was plainly
evident that unless something was
speedily done to suppress the rabbits.
Queensland would become . Wilderness
howllng with those hungry beasts. The
rabbits have exterminated the weeds.
but new kind of apimal was needed
to exterminate the rabbits. A shinload
OF weaaels was accordingly imported,
and at present they are reveling in rab-
bits. The rabbits fairly melt away
before them. and the weasels, with de-
light beaming from their happy faces.
pursue them TO their hiding-places and
massacre them by thousands. The only
question that bothers the Queensland
ers Is what they will do with the weasela
when they have devoured the rabbits.
and the only solution to the problem is
that the next crop must be wildcats. as
they are the only animal that can take
care of the weasels.

dARoELoN's INTENTIONS.

BosToN, Dec. 28.-Papers here seem to
have arrived at one opinion respecting the
hidden meaning OF Gov. Garcelon's letter
to ex Gov. Morrill, regarding the submission
Of the question in issue to the State supreme
court. Garcelon expresses willingness to
refer points that have not already been
adjusted upon, but it is understood that he
believes that these points are extremely few,
and that he has decision of the court to
back nearly every case. This leaves the
hope for peaceful settlement through Nor
rill's plan, decidedly faint one, though the
attempt was credltable. 1t looks now as if
nothing can prevent trouble on the assem-
bling of the legislature bat square back
down on the part of the fusionists, and how
much chance there is of this, one man can
judge as we'll as another.
HON. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS,
of this city, in his interview, said he did not
know whether Gov. Garcelon was acting
legally or not, but I know he is acting
stupidity, said Mr.. Adams. He and his as
sociates have made q miserable blunder III
counting out decided Republican majority
on mere technical points. The governor
was bound to execute the spirit of the Law
rather than the letter. Had he done that
he w0uld have satisfied the people of his
State without distinction of party and his
own conscience. As it ls, he has made q
fatal mistake, a sad blunder, one that will
have an injurious effect upon the political
party to which he belongs. I am surprised
that Gov. Garcelon should have allowed
himself to be influenced into such line. HI
must have had very bad council. Mr.
Adams advised the counted in Democrats tt
decline to take their seats as the only fail
and manly course to pursue.

made provisional arrangement for the sale
of the right to use the light in this city and
in Covington and Newport.
Edison's public exhibition of the light is
to occur at his place of residence, Menlo
Park, New Jersey, on the evening of New
Year Day. The number of lamps to be dis
played is about 700. The lamps are now
being prepared.
