Scoring Bul's-Eye Through a Mans
ROdy
From the Hamilton tCanadal Times.

FROM the ndntitoH lNdududJ 1lIHts.
An unfortunate mishap occurred yes
terday afternoon at the new ranges Of
the Victoria Rifle Club between here
and the Halfway House. Dundas road.
Members of the club were engaged in
practice at the l 1000 yard range and Mr..
Margetts was firing at the target, when
unhappily the marker, George Jenkins
stepped in front and received the bullet
which passed though his body and,
strange IS it may appear, struck the
bull's-eye which was despatched with
/ blood. Jenkins passed the night very
favorably, and DR.. Griffin has great
hopes that he viii recover. The bullet
was one of Remington's $50 grains and
entered at the back below the shoulder
blade, passing about an inch below
the left nipple. After looking where
the ball had struck the target, and
seeing that it was a bulPs-eye, jenkins
says he felt singing pain as ii a needle
had gone through MIN. He then yell
ed at the parties at the range for the
I purpose of letting them know that he
/ had been struck, and then ran down
the range 240 or $50 yards, as several of
/ the marksmen approached him he fell
over He bled but little from the wound
and there has not been much internal
/ hemOrrhage.

SECRETARY LINCOLN.
n Pen Picture of the son OF Abraham
Lincoln.
From RamsdelTs Washington Republic.

From Ramsdels Washington Republic.
Personally Mr.. Lincoln bears but a
very little resemblance to his illustr-
ious father He has the same mild
look in the eyes, and the forehead is
something like his fathers, but these
are only points of resemblance. Mr.
Lincoln has 1.-the, well-knit frame of
medium height, with quick, graceful
action. He dresses fashlonably and
wears his clothes as though he were
sure of his tailor's skill. He wears a
full beard and moustache, which are
well kept. His manners are extreme
ly affable and courteous, though quiet.
He has fashion of getting at the point
of anything readily and is not disposed
to waste time in delays and procrasti-
nations. When he reaches a question
ne decides it. He is always accessible to
those who have business with him, but
he is too busy himself to allow his time
to be wasted on prefaces and appendix
es, so to speak. In the department he
is very popular, not the less so, / am
sure, because he expects every officer
to do his duty His habits are as mod
est and unpretending rs his manners
and personal appearance

THE E1IU's PARTY

An ancient maiden Emu
Had breezy country villa,
With an extensive sea view.
On the south coast % Australia.
This Emus tastes were social
And her heart was warm and kindly:
50 she gave a child's party.
And sent her cards out blindly.
To the DOd0s and the Parrots
And the Nultures and the Sea-gulls
And thougntlessly included
Six little uniedged Eagles.
At her home beside the water,
Then she called on Madam Duck bill
And proceeded with eifusion
To invite her infant daughter.
4 will take care. my dear madam,
Ifyou viii be 50 good
As 10 trust US with your Susie,
That shs eats the Tlainest food.
She shall be at home by bedtime
Or any hour you choose
Said Mrs. Duckbill, sOiemnly,
Have you asked the kangaroost
why, no; the thought, dear madam,
Had not entered in my head;
/ have but short acquaintance with
That fore-shOrtened quadruped."
Then I'm af aid, Miss Emu,
That Susie cannot 90;
Her grandpa was q mammal,
Well connected, as you know.
"She can never know wild Pigeons,
nor those children Of the Nulture,
Who seem 70 be deplorably
Incapable Of culture"
"If that's the case, dear Madam,
Wen close this interview,
NV friends are birds, and so am
Said the dignified Emu;
I'm sure | know the Eagles,
And many others, who
Move in vastly higher circles
! Than that purse-proud Kangaroo,
k"There's my grand uncle Ostrich
Can hold his head as high
As any wealthy mammal.
kad-I wish you, ma'am, goodbye.
So little Susie Duck-bill
Was f freed To play alone
By the artificial attitude
of her slnothers social tone
She could see the PARROTS swinging,
Hear the Eagels' laughter shrill,
And said, with tears wish we Duck hi
Weren't so fearfully genteel.'

EX- SenAfNr COnkling'S Curl.

From the Auburn IN. " Aubumian.
An old lady who knew ex-senator
Conkling's father and mother, says.
Zone day when Roscoe was visiting my
fathers family, as the horse and sulky
were brought up to the door, and my
father was just getting ready to start
out for a ride among his patients, young
Roscoe, thinking he would get some life
out of the old horse, took pin and
stuck it in his launches, when the
usually gtaid animal suddenly gave a
kick and hit Roscoe a severe blow on
the forehead, cutting cash that to this
day leaves a scar on his brow. And
this is why the ex-senator permits a lit
tie auburn curl to drop down over the

William Hickman, sentenced in
Philadelphia, to one wears imprisOn-

made a singular appeal to the Court.
He asked to be sent to the State Peni-
Tertiary, where he would not be sub
jected to enforced idleness, and where
he might earn something, that he
might not, when discharged, be penni-
less. His request was granted without
DELAY.

Why Wear pIasfersy

They may relieve, but they can't cure
that lame back, for the kidneys are
the trouble and you want a remedy to
act directly on their secretions, to puri-
fly and restore their healthy condition.
Kidney Wort has the specific action
and at the same time it regulates the
bowels perfectly. Don't wait TO get sick,
but get a package to-day, and cure
yourself. Liquid and dry sold by all
druggists. -Gernlantolo1l IeLeqroph.

An Ancient Pr0uIlecy.

LONDON, June p Although County
Cork is comparatively quite, large
bodies of troops are being sent to the
district of which Bandon is the center.
Small tenants and peasartry gather
from day to day at the farms of 'sus-
poets" arrested under the coercion act
to cut hay and earth root crops, and a
collision between these mobs and local
constabulary may take place at any
moment
Peasantry in the neighborhood of
Timoleague in Contradictory Bay are
greatly excited over an old prophecy of
St. Molaga from whom the town is
named Teach Molaga The house of
Molaga, abby ruins and tombs at limo
league are among the finest in Nuns
ter and there according to tradition st.
Molaga lived for many years. He was
a saint of great renown In county Cork.
He was born near Fermoy. Temple
Molaga, near Mitchelstown, on the
Countess of Kingston's estate, takes It's
name from the church he founded
there on the banks of the river Fun
cheon, Tober-Molaga is his well and
Labba-M olaga his bed or grave. Hi
prophecy on the agararian agitation
which has been unearthed by som
Land Lacquer from the mass of loca
folk lore is said to have been uttered
in GEO, when Carcah Cork was, as is
name implies, marsh and when old
Sept of McCarty ruled the roost. /
send you current translation to show
you how the agitation has become part
and parcel of the superstitions of the
peasantry.
Eighteen eighty-one.
The stranger Is undope
In Carcagh shall be seen
The bed beneath the green.
Eighteen eighty three,
MeCarty's sons are free;
The green above the red
The Lions litter dead.
This prophecy has been printed and
scattered far and wide through Mum
ster, and copies of it have been sent to
Irish members of Parliament and ex-
ibited in the Hobbies of the Houses.
Mr.. William Shaw member for the
County of Cork, says the Leagues in
TiuIoleague and Bandon districts are
using this and other floating legends as
campaign documents, and that by this
means they have persuaded hundreds
of peasants that armed resistance to
the law will surely end in extirpation
of landlordism, and the downfall of
English rule in Ireland.

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines as a rule
are not amenable to the chemical tests
and analyses used in testing drugs gem
orally. Their reliability therefore de-
ponds solely on the character and repu-
tation as TO probity of those preparing
and putting them up. It's therefore of
paramount importance that the public
satisfy themselves that the homeopa-
thic medicines they buy are obtained
from house of recognized standing
and reliability. Boericke & Tafel's

since 1885. Send for their descriptive

Financial Affairs.

The veto OF the funding bill was not wholly

be sold. In Sherman was concentrated the
financial brains OF the Hayes administration,
and he no doubt had little trouble In making
his master do his Will and kill the bill.
But there Ia one consolation to be drawn
from the defeat of tho bill: All danger of u
panic has bean removed, stocks will react,
money centers win get quiet again, tho ma

OF retiring their circulation, and the boom In

average law maker. Ilo seldom comes from

feet of legislators, but are always asking them
to let commerce regulate it'elf. What they
dread Is the new administration will in new
measures aad efforts to establish

chaos. On this account the purely man OF
business regrets change, and always sleeps
more soundly when the congress and his legis-
