' From the Kansas City journal.
y. W. Wright, tho wcll-known
taXidcrmist, had quite a novel expert
ence on Tuesday, which was no.; al
together without danger, but ho was
so fortunate rs to escape injury, and
has two trophies Of his skill and
prowcss as mcmcntOcs of the event.
Mr.. Wright is skilfnl hunter, and on
Tuesday was seven miles east of the
city, and near the bank Of tho Missou-
ri River, OH the lookout for game suita-
bic for prcseryation. While thus cn-
gagged, partly hid from view, large
cngle came lowering in range Of Ills
trusty doublc-barrcl shotgun, md he
discharged one round, which brought
the noble bird to the ground. Not
wishing to risk breaking its wings or
legs by another shot, or otherwise dis
/, figuring it for the taXidermist's use,
he rcfraincd from shooting it second
time. Throwing his gun down, he
ran to the wounded bird, seized it
and was in the act Of Sitting it's throat
when it gave u scream and immediatc-
y he felt something strike him quite
forcibly and he fell to the ground.
Great was his surprise when lie found
that another eagle, companion bird,
attracted by tho fall and cries of it's
mate, had made al attack on him. The
eagle remained OH the ground for q
few moments, fiuttering around. He
struck ut it with u stick, when it flew
upwards. Mr.. Wright felt assured
from its movements that it was pre-
pairing for second assault and seized
his gun, but not moment too soon,
for the infuriatcd bird, with it's strong
bcak and talons, and propelled by its
powerful wings, made sudden sweep
at him, when he discharged his gun,
a portion Of the shot taking effect in
one of the wings, causing it to shee,
from its course and fall to the ground
The taxidermist ran and seized it.

The Rev. Irving A. searles, pastor oil
the South side Christian Church. Chicago,
furnish es the following brief statement Of
the belief and practice o! the Church
with which General Garfield stands iden-
titled:
Fist-We call ourselves Christians or
Disciples. The term "Campbellite" is a
nickname that others have applied to US,
as the early Methodists were called
"Ranters." Good taste iorbids the use OF
nicknames.
Second-We believein God the Father,
Third-We believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son OF the living God and our only
Savior. We regard the divinity OF Christ az
the fundamental truth in the Christian
system.
Fomth-we believe in the Holy spirit
both as TO It's agency in conversion and as
m indweller in the heart OF the Christian.
Fifth. We accept both the Old and New
Testament Scriptures as the inspired word
OF God.
Sixth. We believe in the future punish
ment Of the wicked, and the future re-
ward Of the righteous.
Seventh. We believe the Deity Is q
prayerhearing and prayer.answering God.
Eighth. We observe the institutions Of
the Lords Supper on every Lords Day.

The steubenville Wool Groprs' Bulletin

ket:
On pretty much all grades OF wool the
feeling continues tame and uncertain, and
a general expression OF dissatisfaction
may be noted. All views have been mod.
flied since the opening Of the month, not
only on the Eastern markets, but at pri.
mary points, with the giving way even
greater than hoped for by many OF the
most positive "bears;" but as yet there Is
a failure to draw out the demand expect.
ed, and business drags all around. Man
uiactuIers' present wants are small, and
none are willing to operate against what
they may require in the future, while
speculative feeling seems to be entirely
dead among dealers, ETC., with, indeed,
supplies held for investment more likely
10 be thrown over at any moment than
added to. The goods trade does not ap-
pear quite so promising as last week, and
this further dotracts from the strength OF
the market. Advices from the interior

to show that producers are not yet pre-
pared 10 accept the bids making, and buy
