CHASTITY H1MoR.-Indianapolis To,

CHASTITY HUMoR. Indianapolis Jour
nal: Woman's $ rights seem to be in the
ascendency in Tennessee just now, and
when young lady of that State discusses
with a young man any proposition con-
corning matrimonial alliance, she in
tends to enforce rigid adherence to the
letter of the agreement At least this is
true of Miss Carrie Carr, of Bear Creek,
who, few weeks ago, in conversation
with a young man named Underwood,
entered general denial to the report
that she was about to be married, and
with becoming modesty said that nobody
would have her. 'Pll take you," gal
lantly responded Mr.. Underwood, and an
engag ement was made to meet and carry
out the contract. There was where that
young man made a mistake, so to speak; !;
for when he failed to come up at the
appointed time the young lady. became
greatly angered, and entered suit for $1O,-
900 for breach of promise, lacerated
heart, wounded affections, etc. Mr.. I'm
derwood claims that it was all a Joke.
Some people have ghastly idea of

The case of w. HI. Rogers against the

county board, was decided against the
county in the circuit court last week.
The claim was for $3.50, for services in
trying the Neuer case, and the board cut
the charges down to $3.50, we believe
Mr.. Rogers had already tried the case
once when district attorney, was appoint
ed by the court to try it again, because
the then district attorney had been Neur's
counsel, and was therefore unable, under
the statutes, to prosecute the case. Under
the advice of Mr.. Steiner, the board cut
the bill down, the appeal was taken, the
county was beaten, has to pay the full
amount, and $50 of costs besides.-Ban-

school books to the users is estsmated at
five million dollars AS most persons
are aware: the change of text books goes
on continually, else publishers would
have no business. As soon as the pupil
is fairly grounded in one arithmetic, some
one discovers that the pupils will go
astray if the book is longer in use, and a
new book is introduced. This takes its
turu to go out as soon as another has
been invented to take its place. There
are arithmetics collecting dust, and sold
for old junk, out of which pupil studied
and learned as much as from the
latest publication. 1t is not in the book,
but in the pupil. In fact, there are old
arithmetics, in the opinion of educators,
much superior to those now in use.

LO, THE BOUNCING BISON.

The passengers on last evenings train
from the Yellowstone had an experience
exceedingly rare. When Sabout two
miles from Sentinel Butte, the dividing
line between Montana and Dakota, a
herd of sixteen buffalo were seen a short
distance ahead, within easy rifle range.
There several soldiers on board with ar
my rifles, and numerous small revolvers
were also pointed at the excited bison.
A perfect volley of lead was poured into
the herd, but to no effect, They bound
ed away over the DIVIDE, and were soon
out of sight. The passengers had no
sooner begun discussion of what they
had seen in years gone by, than danger
signal from the locomotive brought every
one to the lookout A herd of twenty or
thirty buffalo were making directly for
the train; and, fearing that the engine
would strike them and be thrown from
the track, the air-brakes were set, and
the train brought to. a stand-still, while
the buffalo crossed the track few feet
ahead. Every gun was again leveled.
Such excitement cannot be described.
Bullets flew in every direction, some
striking the ground as near as ten feet
from the train, others raising the dust
mile distant. The train moved on slowly
and the volley of lead continued to pour
from the guns of the excited passengers.
Finally the smoke cleared away, and the
buffalo GOULD be seen about half mile
away, trotting along as unconcerned as
though they had never seen railroad
train. The disgusted passengers drew in
their weapons and spent The rest of the
dav arguing as to the probable amount OF
lead that buffalo will carry before he
will weaken. Pictures of railroad trains
passing through herds of buffalo are nu-
merous, but the actual experience is one
of which the passengers may feel proud.
They were probably but struggling bands
from the main herd, which is forty or fif-
ty miles north of the track. From Sen
tinel Butte east to Pleasant Valley Dick

which is but daily occurrence Verify,

A NEW DISINFECTANT.-Ihe new dis
infectant which has come into such con-
siderable use in England, on account of
it's proved efficacy, is prepared as follows:
Russian turpentire and water are placed
in huge earthenware jars, surrounded by
hot water; air is driven through the mix
ture in the jars continually for 800 hours,
the result of this being a decomposition
of the turpentine and the formation of a
peculiar watery solution. After evapora-
ton, the substance is placed in tin cans:
it is described as being a light brown

odor, is not poisonous nor damaging in
any respect, and is capable in very re-

A THREE-HEADED CALF-LIrrLE FALLS
October ga COW on the farm Of John
Eysaman gave birthtyesterday to.a three
headed calf The curiosity was brought
to the Hiychman House to-day, where a
large number of our citizens viewed this
strange object. The animal has three
perfect heads and necks, connected with
separate shoulders on one body. The
calf's back below the shoulders has the
exact form of bull dogs face and head
with white spot on his nose. The only
life exhibited at the birth was the NOV
ing of one of it's heads, which lasted
about ten minutes. The stranger will
be taken to a taxidermist tomorrow and
prepared for preservation.

THE PLACE WHERE CATS CAN'T L1vl

The PLACE WHERE CATS CAN'T LIVE.
Jim Townsend, Of Lupdy, has been
making some experiments with an ordin-
ary domestic cat It has been repeatedly
stated that a cat could not live at an
altitude of 1900 feet above the sea.
Mr.. Townsend has demonstrated that
such is the fact. On Monday last he
and another gentleman made the ascent
of Castle Peak, which is a little over
$4,000 feet high. They took with them
a cat-Thomas-that was a year old,
and had lived at an altitude of 5000
feet with no symptoms of disease. Mr..
Townsend had the cat in box, and as
they went up he took observations d
noted very carefully its every movement.
When the summit was reached they
pitched their tent. This was about 2
o'clock in the afternoon. The cat par
took of some food, and otter playing for
an hour or SO, fell asleep and did not
wake up until near midnight When it
did recover consciousness it set up a
bowling and appeared much distressed.
Townsend pitied it and endeavored to
make it feel at home, but of no use. It
kept up its constant moaning and dis
played symptoms of having fits. When
morning came the cat was offered food
but it refused to eat, and acted even
more strangely than during the night.
Townsend says it would open its mouth
as if gasping for breath; would jump
about, and then go to sleep and wake
up with a start. All this while close
watch was kept and every movement
noted. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
cat died of exhaustion From the Bodie
