The Milwaukee Evening Wiscon-
sin says that there has been consid-
cradle dissatisfaction in that city re-
Gently over the numerous arrests by
treasury agents of persons engaged
in selling articles of agricultural
machinery by sample. Attorney
General Wilson has delivered an
opinion in the matter, who decides
that men who do not carry samples,
cuts, or photographs or any kind of
a picture representing machines, but
only solicit orders for machines can
not be considered peddlers, as they
neither "carry to sell, nor expose
for sale" The same holds good as
to- sewing machine and musical in
strument men. At the same time,
the attorney generals opinion is that
when q machine is being delivered
and on the way is shown to parties
as sample, the agents become liable
as peddlers.

James Mcclellan, station tender at
ths G. & c. shaft had narrow escape
from death at o'clock this, morning.
says the Virginia Chrozieie. of Friday.
He got on the cage at the 1900 station.
and began to ring is up, but the man ut
the brakes let the cage go down ut the
nrst bell. Mcclellan was iu the net of
ringing the second bell when the cage
started down, and was unable TO recover
himself, SO he hung Oh TO the bell rope.
Tho bonne. of ;ho cage came down and
struck him knocking him loose from the
rope. The shift boss who saw him fall.
thought he must surely be killed, and
as soon as he could get to the shaft, rang
the bell for the cage 10 stop. He then
took the huck.b board in the pump shaft
and went to find McClellan's body.
He found Mcclellan standing on the
cage looking around in, n dnzed sort OF
manner and wondering where lie was.
When the bonnet Of tho cage struck
him it knocked him senseless and he
fell on the bottom of the cage where he
had the good luck to lie without falling
of. He had no bones broken. and
beyond few severe bruises is uninjured.
This is one of the most remarkable es.
capes on record. ..... .....

lake on the Little Humboldt, about half
mile from home, he was attacked by n
large aud ferocious bull. Tom had his
trusty shotgun-both barrels loaded
with fine shot-Shen the bull made the
charge. The bull was coming like u
whirlSind. and waiting until he was
pretty close, Tom stepped aside aud let
him pass. and before he could check bis
furious speed TO turn for another attack.
Tom ,nged it TO him, i'll the part that
was most exposed, with both barr, Is.
Tom says the bull changed his mind.
aud didn't return to the attack; he
stopped just second. for fee!er. and
with tremendous below that could be
heard for miles, he Strengthened ont his
tail and made n bee line for the oppo.
site side of the valley. Tom thinks if
he had not made a center shot the bull

A VIGOROUS sermon WAS preached in
New York recently upon "The Folly of
Sending Missionaries Abroad" The
minister declared that foreign missions
had been a complete failure; that with
all the thousands of missionaries sent
abroad and the million Of dollars ex-
pended upon them, nothing had been
accomplished. Conversions had been
made among the poor and ignorant;
but none, among the intelligent OF any
country. Commenting upon this dis
course. the Chicago Inter. Ocean remarks
that lit IL safe to assume that the
preacher did not belong to the ortho-
dox church. He was UniVershlist;
but il he were heather his sensible
words should have weight. Mission
siOuaries for the most part are lot OF
lnzzaroni supported upon the ignorant
enthusiasm o. rich zealots. whose fancy
is tickled with the thought of bringing
a 6arbarous sou. to orthodoxy. while
they would turn a Christian from their
door. a..r f.su.-r..- s-rYE .r.

The effort on part OF some of the
National banks to create financial
panic because of the passage of the
three per cent. funding bill. draws
from The New York World rebuke,
which they richly deserve. Referring
to the conspiracy on the part Of these
Banks to break the market, that journal
says: r...Ha a....
"Our Government, aud the people
who maintain il. have submitted to
great sacrifices 10 afford all reasonable
support to the National banks. A few
of these banks have not hssitated to
invite the destruction of the whole sys.
TEN and provoke popular anger by pur.
suing course which. must inevitably
force on American citizens the question
whether Legislative and executive officers
chosen to represent the people or few
bank officers are TO administer the fuan.
cial destinies OF this country. 1t is not
probable that the national resentment II
the legislature against the attempted
conspiracy will extend to the coDdemna.
tion Of the whole national system. But
We have no doubt at the same time that
when the indignation has cooled off,
these conspirAtors against the prosperity
aud credit OF the Republic will be sub.
j-cted to such tempe rate and wholesome
discipline as shall be n warning to
them and their Lind for some years to
come"
These would be wrckers have appar.
emily, however, done their worst, as ac-
cording to latest advices from New York,
the stringency in the money market has

neighboring cities and even from Eu.
