An Unfortunate Ram.

A few weeks since some miners dis
covered very singular curiosity in the
mountains near Bonanza City, Idaho
nothing less than the mammoth head
and horns of mountain ram grown
into pine tree. The skull was found
firmly imbedded in the growing pine,
the trunk of the latter being some eight
cen inches in diameter, with the horns
protruding, and one in its natural curve
re-entering the wood eight inches. Mr..
Fred Meyers, of the Challis and Bonanza
stage line, soon heard of the 6 find,"
had the tree feued, and the section con-
tanning the rams head neatly sawed off.
Mr.. Meyers has expressed the unique
specimen to Thomas L. Kimball, gene
raj passenger and ticket agent of the
Union Pacific, in whose Office it is now
on exhibition.
It was a source of much surmising
yesterday upon the part of dozens of visit
ors at the Union Pacific headquarters
as to how the horns became thus fast
ened. and how many years this lord of
the sheep tribe has been impaled in the
lonely mountains of Idaho. Some are
of the opinion that the animal, in
search of food, was caught in the forks
OF the tree scores OF years ago, when it
was mere sapling, and unable to ex-
tricate itself, there died, the tree grad
ually growing over the skull. Such in
stances in the case of deer are very
common, but none has ever been chron-
icled, or at least not reported, in which
the wonderfully muscular mountain ram
has met such a fate.
Another theory is that some Indian
or old-time employee of the great fur
companies received a Straightforward hit
from the ram; and in b fit of revenge
hung his ramship up to recall tho Incl
dent OF the unfortunate affair and in-
dulge in remorse, but forgot to take him
down. Another is that in one of those
terrific battles in which mountain rams
often indulge each other, this one was
"dodged' by his antagonist at a very
critical period, and a forked sapling
received the onslaught, never after Civ
ing up its embrace. Certain it is the
ram got in very bad fix, is dead, and
is one of the most valuable and curious
specimens ever sent to Mr.. Kimball's
Office Omaha Republican.
"Do animals have funP" asks some
unobserving individual. OF course they
do. When a,r-cow switches her tail
across the face of the man who is milk
ing her, steps along just two yards and
turns to see him pick up his stool and
follow, she has the most amused ex-
preston on her face possible, and if she
can kick over the milk-pail she grows
positively hilarious.
A LATE writer says: Most farmers
have noticed that in fattening swine
RAPIDLY, they appear weak in their hind
lc::ss, and sometimes lose the use Of
them entirely. In such cases we find
that small quantity Of bone meal
mixed with their daily feed will prevent
weakness, and will strengthen the ami
NAL 50 as to admit Of the most rapid
forcing. 7-

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our relations with all foreign countries have
been those of undisturbed peace, and have
presented no occasion for concern as to their
continued maintenance.
THE following are the principal features of
interest presented in this connection.
Our friendly relations with the German En-
pire continue without interruption. At the
recent International Exhibition of Fish and
Fisheries at Berlin, the participation of the
United states, Notwithstanding the haste with
which the commission was forced to make its
preparations, was extremely successful and
meTitorious, winning for private exhibitors
numerous awards of high class, and for the
country at large the principal prize OF honor
offered by his Majesty the Emperor. The re-
suits of this great success can not but be ad-
Vantageous to this important and growing
industry. There have been some questions
raised between the two Governments as to
the proper effect and Interpretation of our
treaties of naturalization, but recent dis
patches from our Minister at Berlin show that
favorable progress is making toward an I'M
Outstanding, in accordance with the views of
this Government, which makes an admits no
distinction whatever between the rights of q
native and a naturaliZed citizen of the United
States. In practice, the complaints OF mo-
lestauOn suffered by naturaiZed citizens
abroad have never been fewer than at pre- ent.
The provision made by Congress- at its last
session. for the expense of the commission
negotiations with the Imperial Government
of China, on subjects of great interest to the
relations of the two countries, enabled the
commissioners to proceed at once upon their
mission. The Imperial Government was pre-
pared 20 give prompt and respectful attention
TO the matters brought under negotiation,
and the conference proceeded with such
rapidity and success that, on the 18th of No
vember last, two treaties were signed at
Pekin, one relating to the introduction of
Chinese into this country and one relating to
commerce. Mr.. Trescot, one of the commits
sioners is now on his way home bringing the
treaties, and II is expected that they will be
received in season TO be laid before the Sen
ate early in JANUARY.
OUR SISTER REPUBLICS.

that the prevalence of quiet on the border be-
tween this country and Mexico would soon be-
come so assured as to justify the modification
of the orders. then in force, to our military
commanders, in regard to crossing the tron-
tier, without encouraging such disturbances
as would endanger the peace of the two coun-
tries. Events moved in accordance with these
expectations. and the orders were az, o ding
ly withdrawn, to the entire satisfaction OF our
own citizens and the Mexican Government.

the necessity of reclaiming the marshes o.

this substantial Improvement of its river
front, the capital would be in all respects
one of the most attractive cities in the world.

city Is necessarily the place OF residence of
persons from every section OF the country,
engaged in the public service. Many Others
