THE LATEST.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 16-Sherif L1bbey,
commanding the police posse, refused to
obey the order of Lamson directing him
to dismiss the force. Mayor Nash has
co m municated to Gen. Chamberlain that
he will keep the necessary police force
at the State House, and will not interfere
with the rights and privileges of any per
son. Admission to the building would
be granted only to members elect and
such as Chamberlain may direct. The
Fusionists unseated two more RepubIi-
cans yesterday. Chamberlain issued an
address to the people yesterday. counsel
ing patience, saying that he would keep
the peace, and that his attitude to Lamson
was one of duty. 1t is thought that u de-
cision will be reached by the Supreme
Court to-day.
THE FUs1oNIsTs
held a caucus last night, presumably to
inaugurate I; concert action on the cleo
ton of governor and council, which it is
thought will take place to-day. Lamson
addressed a communication to the Su.
preme Court warn!n it against consider
ing the questions propounded by the He
gal Republican legislature reciting the
| fuslonist case.
| THE INDIAN RACKET.
Gen. Adams before the Indian com
mission recred the particulars of the Ute
4 troubles. He said that the Indians were
not without excuse for their acts. Mceker
was arbitrary and punished disobedience
severely. He plowed up tavorite amuse.
ment grounds of the Indians when any
other would have done as well. The In
dians were childish in many things and
should be humorcd. 1t is thought that
Thornburgh's battle was an accident.
3 Ouray states it impossible to bring in the
twelve men wanted now, but if given time

The Nasty Retreat.

A Bostonian, who was an officer in the Union army during the war, visited the battlefield of Seven Pines, accompanied by his wife and two Virginians. On the way from Richmond he gave his com panions graphic account of his retreat from that historic field. The preparations made by him and his comrades were simple, such as smashing their china, throwing their trunks into 8 we'll and hurriedly drinking bottle of champagne which they had kept for many months, intending to enjoy it in Richmond. Ar irving at Seven Pines for the second time, the officer soon recognized several landmarks made familiar to him during the war. One of the party said, half in jest, pointing to spot some distance of, "There are some of the pieces of china D Sure enough, there were the bits of china scattered about, and upon closer examination it was found that there were two kinds-French china and common ware-of which the crockery that was broken during the war consisted. But nairabile dictu! not far off lay the neck of the bottle from which the sparkling champagne had been drunk in such haste eighteen years ago. The officer told the old negro, who is the professional guide at Seven Pines, that there were three trunks filled with clothes in the well near by. Yes, sah, ;" said the old man, "I allus 'spected thar was suthin' in dat we'll"

Some Spring Hints.
LITTLE ADVICE THAT IS REASONABLE


 Throw old bottles, oyster cans, broken dishes and so forth, into your ,neighbor's yard. He's no man if he can't pass 'em along to the next
 Borrow a wheelbarrow, rake. hose spade and whatever else you may want through the summer as soon now as you can, so that the owners will forget to whom they were lent. A man who buys @ wheelbarrow when he can borrow one will never be chief fnancier of a life in- surance company.
 If one of the gate hinges is missing take the other off and throw it away. It is better to have a gate on no hinges than one hinge, and it is cheaper to throw away hinge than to buy one.
 Spring is good time to crawl under the house and find the missing shears, thlmbles, butcher knives, silver spoons and pail-covers. A great many families get rich by hunting up things which the cat has lugged out of the house during the winter.
 The season has arrived when seven or eight stoves can be dispensed with in the average dwelling house. Any man who can kick strong enough to break horses leg can kick over stove. That's the easiest way to get 'em down. Stove-pipe. properly made and put up, will fall when the stove does.
 Some folks take up carpets and beat them in the spring. Others wait until fall and then beat the carpet stores. Every family can take its choice, this being free country.
 Spring is good time to paper rooms. Most any one of the family can hang wallpaper. All you need is barrel to stand on, pail of paste, the old stub of Whlte-wash brush and 8 boy to pour water on your elbow joints to keep down the friction. If you want to be original, don't try to match the paper.
 A little paint goes good ways on the front of the house. If you don't believe 1t spill pint or so on the front steps. A special day should be set apart for cleaning out the big kitchen wood-box. Such neighbors as have lost parrots, children, cats, dogs, shot-guns and so forth should be invited to be present and claim their property as it is raked out Spring is also the favorite season for Whlte-washing. There is only one way to do it, and anybody can mix up the material. Stand on the back of a chair and keep your eyes wide open.
 Vines androots should be transplanted before hot weather. A man can be hired for fifty cents to dig hole large enough to put in all the roots any average famil y will ever care for, and there may be room in the same excavation for couple of hitching-posts and the family dog.- Detroit Free Press.

Battling with a Bull.
A Co1oRED MANS DESPERATE FIGHT FOR
 LIFE IN A FIELD IN NEW JERSEY,

On Tuesday, toward dusk, colored man, in the employ of Mir. George Hub schmidt, in Bergen county, N. J., went out into field to drive g bull into the barnyard. The bull was rather vicious, but 1t had never attacked the men. This time, however, the animal made plunge for the colored man, knocked him to the ground, held him there with his fore feet, and attempted to gore him with his sharp horns. The negro struggled and fought as best he could, and succeeded in dodg- ing the blows several times. But finally the horn penetrated the mans check about an inch from the mouth. The brute then gave a savage lunee and tore the flesh around the negro's chin, from point about two inches from the left end Of his mouth clear around to the right ear. This made terrible wound. and the great arteries in the neck were narrowly missed. In spite of this wound the man continued to fight for his life. He succeeded in reaching stone, with which he hammered the bull in the eve until the animal, which was all this time holding his victim pinioned to the ground. was forced te let go. The bull then ran to the opposite side of the field, tossing his head and roaring with pain, the eye being almost entirely destroyed. The negro subsequently, remarked that he made square bull's-eye every time.
 Two men who happened along in an other field went as far as the fence. but were afraid to go in to the colored m an's S assistance, even after the bull had run away. He got up and staggered across the field alone to the fence, without fur ther molestation from the bull. The two men lifted him over the fence, and then he sank senseless. Dr. Van Gleson, oi Paterson, was sent for, and he dressed the wound. Dr. Van Gleson says he thinks the negro will lerecover, although he says it was one of the narrowest escapes he ever saw, as the mans wind pipe was actually grazed by the sharp point of the bull,A Ahorn.

The Best Vehicle.

An anecdote is told of a physician who was called to a foreign family to pre- scribe for case of incipient consump- tion. He gave them prescription for pills, and wrote the direction "One pill to be taken three times day, in any convenient vehicle" The family looked in the dictionary te get at the meaning of the prescription. They got on well until they got to the word vehicle. They found "cart, wagon, car riage, buggy, wheelbarrow. After grave consideration they came to the concl1- sion. that the doctor meant the patient should ride out, and while in the vehicle he should take the pill. He followed the advice to the letter, and in a few weeks the fresh air and exercise secured the advantage which otherwise might not have come.

Disposal of the Dead.

The Kamtchadales keep special dogs for the purpose of consuming their dead. The Latookas of Zanzibar bury their dead who die from disease or old age, but make it a rule to leave those slain in battle to be devoured by wild beasts where they lie. The Parsees bring their dead to certain round towers, called towers of silence, to be eaten by vultures, which make those towers their dwelling places. The Moors lay the bodies of the dead on the ground, and piling prickly thorns on them to keep off beasts, leave them to decay. The ancient Colchians suspended the corpses of men in trees, but their women they buried The Gonds and Bhils of India burn their men but bury their women. The Zodas bury their children, the victims of infanticide, and burn all others the Greeks used both burial and burning. Among the Romans burial was the earlier custom. Burning was not general till the republic, but was universal under the empire. The Egyptians embalmed their dead. The Mohammedans and the Christians both use burial

THE EYEs.-A thorough examination of the eyes of all the school children in Philadelphia is being made. Almost one half of the eyes thus far tested were found in conditions other than perfectly normal, and many were so diseased as to make rest imperatively necessary. The acute ness of vision is ascertained by means of the ordinary cards used by ophthalmic surgeons upon which are printed letters of differing sizes. Other points of in- quiry are the perception of color, the range of vision, and the field of vision that is, the extent of the distance around the head covered by the sight of the eye. Some persons, while looking straight ahead, can easily see motion, form and color at the side.

FRENCH HORSES. - Although the French Government studs now contain nearly 2,000 sires of different breeds, and though the amount of money spent in encouraging horse breeders generally has been increased to considerable extent, the officers whose duty it is to buy horses for the army remounts find it no easy matter to procure sufficient number !; and at recent meeting of the committee which has the management of the haras it was agreed to recommend that the prices at present paid by the Minister of War should be increased. The average given for cavalry and artillery horses is no higher now than it was thirty years ago; so that those who breed horses do not find it remunerative to attempt to produce animals suitable for military purposes.
