.JEFFEKSON'S MANNERS.
How President Thomas Jefferson
Took the Oath OF Onicc And opened
Congress Charming Demo
cratic SempIicity.
Youths Companion

When Jefferson become president he
carried his simple manners and tastes
into official life. He determined that
his Inauguration as the chief officer of
the republic should be rs free from dis
play as possible. Dressed in plain black
clothes, he rode on horseback to the
old capitol, without guard or servant
dismounted without assistance, and
hitched his horse to the fence. On the
friends, who accompanied him to the
senate chamber, where he delivered
his inaugural address. During the
administrations of Gen. Washington
and John Adams the sessions Of CON
gress had been opened in a style SINH
lar to that by which the English soyer-
eign opens parliament. The president,
accompanied by large escort on
horseback. drove in state to the capitol
Taking his seat in the senate chamber
and the house ofrepresentatives being
summoned, he read . is address. Mr.
Jefferson to whom such ceremonies
were distastefull, swept them all away
by one act. He sent a written message
to congress, which was read to both
houses by there respective clerks, and
that practice has been observed ever
since. Against one of his forms, how
ever the ladies Of Washington rose up
en- masse. Mr. Jefferson, disliking the
levees which had been held at the white
house, abolished them. He established
two public days for the reception of
company-tne LIST of January and the
Fourth of July On otner days he was
at home to all others who came on
business or out of courtesy. Many of
the Washington ladies, indignant at
their social pleasures being thus cur
tailed, determined to force the custo-
mary levees. On the usual levee day
they resorted in full dress to the white
house. The president was out taking
ride on horseback On his return he
saw that tie public rooms were filled
with elegantly-dressed ladies. At once
divining the plot, he appeared before
his fair guests booted and spurred and
covered with dust. So courteous was
his reception Of them, and so graceful
his manners, that the ladies went away
delighted with the president, but cha
grined with themselves. They felt that
they had been guilty Of a rudeness in
visiting as guests host who did not
expect them. 1t was their last attempt
to break through the rules of Jetlerson's
household

"GrizzIy Bruin" Gets Tight.

A half dozen proSpectors camped
one night recently in the Sierra Neva-
da, Eldorado county, California. The
ground was covered with snow, and
when about midnight grizzly bear ap-
preached the crunching Of his feet
aroused the whole camp. The bear
trotted boldly up to within few feet
of the fire and seized the nearest thing
that could be reached-a bag contain
ing a few such articles as bread and
sugar and a demijohn Of the hottest
whisky manufactured on the Pacific
coast. The prospectors fired several
shots at the grizzly, which caused him
to seize the bag and scamper Oft Re
lieved of the unwelcome visitors pres
ence, the party dropped off to sleep
again, to be aroused about dawn by
loud and long roars in neighboring
rayine. The men approached the
ravine cautiously, and were delighted
to see the grizzly uproariously drunk
and rolling in the the snow The bear
had broken the demiiohn and Tapped
up the whisky with an appreciative
tongue. His antics were very funcy-
''as good as circus" one of the pros
pectors says-and they were kept up
until long after sunrise. He tried hard
to climb up the side Of the ravine, and
made ferocious dashes at the men, but
every time he rolled down. At last
the spectators shot him and moved

RAILROAD WAR.

excitement at Clinton. Iowa. over
the Conflict Between the milwaukee
and 1T. Paul and the Northwestern
Companies.
The warfare between the Chicago, Mil
yankee d st. Paul and Chicago x North
western railway companies has reached
an exciting climax. After a week of ar
sument by seven attorneys, Judge HAYES
decided the Northwestern in contempt in
violating the writ, and ordered Sup't.
Whitman, Roadmaster Halsey and Bridge
superintendent Walden to be imprisoned
one hour and pay fine of $50 each. 1t
was also ordered that the Sheriff restore
the track of the Milwaukee road. Then
ensued an extraordinary scene at the
witch, the Northwestern having obtained
Of Judge Rcthrock, of Upton, member of
the Supreme Court, ,m order to stay pro-
ceedings. This order was coming on a
special tram, which arrived at noon, the
rain being given the right of way, and
making the sixty miles in an horr and a
lalf. Meantime the Sheriff undertook to
enforce Judge Hayes order. A conflict
ensued, the Northwestern force of 800 men
disputing possession of the trains, and the
sheriff being unable to enforce the order.
At one time the trains of the two railways
were pulling against each other-steam
against steam. The excitement was kept
up for an hour and drew big crowd.
When Judge R0throck's order arrived,
Judge Hayes directed the sheriff 10 stay
proceedings, and the war ended for the
day. The Northwestern, for the present,
is victorious. The next step will be a writ
Of certiorari taking the case - The supreme
court for review.

Indian News.

CHICAGO, January 3.--Specials
say Sitting Bull remains in camp near
the mouth of Milk River awaiting the
surrender Of Chief Gall who has en-
camped near Poplar River Indian
agency with three to four hundred of
the most renowned warriors of the
Uneppe tribe. This chief has by his
display of bravado made the Bull
enyious and the latter breaches that
Gall shall be annihilated, first leaving
MIN the prestige OF being the last to
surrender. This will probably occur
very soon.

No More Hard Times.

If YOU will stop spending so much on
fine clothes, rich food and style, buy
good, healthy food, cheaper and better
clothing; get more real and substantial
things of life every way, and especially
stop the foolish habit of employing ex-
pensive, quack doctors, or using so
much of the vile humbug medicine
that does you only harm, but put your
trust in that simple, pure remedy. Hop
Bitters; that cures always AZ y tritling

L IT,
! Vennor's Almanac contains the
following prophecy for March. So
| far it is d hit:
aThis March will come in like q
lion. The beginning of the month
will be characterized by storms of
wind, which will culminate during
the second week in heavy gales
throughout the United States. On
the I'd there will be heavy snow
storms in Quebec and Montreal.
On the Sth snow storms are proba-
Bile in ST. Louis, Kansas, Indian
Territory and Arkansas. On the
och and 10th gales are probable
around New York, Boston and in
tefvening points, and snow-storms
pretty general.
"About the 7th and Sth, storms
OF wind and snow may be expected,
followed by rain and slush. The
condition Of things will terminate,
in a cold dip about the 18th orl14th,
with snow fall. On the 18th cold
weather may be expected in Toron-
to, Sarnia and other points west.
"St. Patriek's Day will arrive
during the cold snap in Ontario
and Quebec and the Northern
States, while rain, snow and sleet
will prevail southwark as far as
Washington, and snow aud rain
will fall in the Canadian Mari
tine Provinces. With the begin
ming OF the third week of this
month general snow falls, from the
lower provinces westward to Chica-
go, are likely to prevail. They will
be succeeded by mild and spring
like weather, with indications of
rain and snow, while heavy rain
storms viii probably set in in the
lower provinces and portions Of the
United States.
During the last week, heavy
rains will prevail throughout Can
ada, with probable snowfall in
the direction of st. Louis, Mo-, and
eastcrly gales ON the Gulf of st.
Lawrence. There will be signs of
the opening of navigation in 0nta-
rio, while snow falls will be proba-.
bile at points west OF Montreal On
the 18th heavy rains will be likely
in the Lower Provinces and Quebec,
and through portions of the United
States; and from the Goth to the
end OF the month there win be wet
in Halifax. On the 30th
the weather will be hlustry, with
Sleet and snow possibly at many
points east and west. The old adj
age about March when it comes in
