MOLLIE AND THE Gaia
MOUNT.

Miss Mollie Schultz Of Montague
county is the champion lady Shot
Of this section. She is ready with
either a rifle or a shot gun, and
handles the pistol with great skill
Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by
gentleman friend, she mounted
her mustang and rode into the
woods to kill some squirrels for sup
per. They met with good luck,
and most every shot brought down
a bunny. Her companion had XII
led two more than she had, and she
was beginning to feel somewhat
piqued over being outdone when
they both spied large catamount
in the top-most branches Of tall
tree. Eager to beat his compan-
ion, he fired three shots in rapid
succession at it, missing it each
time, when Miss Shultz fired her
first and only shot, which took eff
feet. The animal sprang from the
tree, lighting on her horse behind
her, which frightened it. It dash
ed off through the woods at furi-
Gus speed, throwing its fair rider
and afterward Kidding itself Of the
catamout, which her companion de
spatched. Fortunately, she was
not hurt by her fall.-Dallaa' { Ie1.)

WOMEN never admire those of
their own sex who are admired by
men, This idea has become al
most trite and is often joined with
the charge that the reason is be-
cause women are envious OF the
bellies of society. But is this the
true reason! Is it not rather be
cause women have different stand
ard of beauty from that Of men!
Does not the masculine half of hui
manity, as a rule, rank mere ply
steal beauty highest, while the fem
mime half looks more for the beau
ty of character and intellect! This
difference is. illustrated in their
choice of partners for life. Nine
young men out of ten will marry
graceful, pretty or fascinating
girl Of they can get one) before
they will even look at one in whom
a lovely character or fine mind is
the only charm. On the other
hand the majority of women care
less for the physical beauty of a
man than for his fine mind or his
refined moral sense.
Pretty men are not so far above
par in the minds Of women as are
pretty girls in the minds Of men.

slaughtered animal is allowed to go to
waste. The hoofs are sold for glue
stock, and bring about 40 cents set

cent to II cents per pound. The tallow
is generally rendered at the abattoirs
and brings from 81 to 81 cents per
pound. What is called "hog fat"-
that is, fat taken from the breast and
kidneys of the animal while IL is yet
warm, is sold to oleomargarine manu-
facturers at Al cents per pound. The
bladder, wien, reed and bung gut are

Gratis only voting in its favor. Ex-vice Presi-
dent Wheeler's arrival there is regarded
by the half-breeds as significant. He
says, in an interview, that he is not in
any sense candidate for Senator that he is
in favor of Depew, and will use his best efforts
to elect him. Senators Conkling and Platt had
a conference with Gen. Grant, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, which was attended also bv
Vice President Arthur, Senator Jones. of
Nevada and New York politicians of local
note The ACCESSIBILITY of the ex-President's
going to Albany was discussed, but it was
deemed best that he should not. 1t is averred
that Conkling declared that he would not 90
back to Washington except with Platt, and,
though pressed by his friends to change his
decision in this matter. he declared it final.
In the monotonous balloting at Albany,
on the Goth inst, Wheeler and Jacobs had "a
votes each for the short term, and Conkling o.
Depew got 81 Herman 25 and Plat 81 for the
long term. Ex-Vice President Wheeler said the
only way out Of the deadlock was the election
of any man Conkling might select as his sue
cessor. Grant, Plat and Conkling conferred
together i'll New York, and in the evening the
candidates left for Albany.
President Garfield repudiates the tend
er of the Marshalship of New York made by
John I. Davenport to Senator Strahan.
In the twentieth ballot at Albany for
Senator, for the short term Elbridge G. Lap
ham, of Canandaigua, received Is votes,
Wheeler getting SO and Conkling 33. In the
twenty-frst ballot Depew had 3d. Herman 81
and Platt 81, for the long term. Both factions
remain firm, and promise to hold on, if neces-
sary, all summer. Robertson continues at Al
bany, instead of taking his new Office, which
Merritt retains until the Senatorship business
is settled. 1t is proposed to continue the NOM
nations at Saratoga.
Eighteen out of twenty seven men,
bers Of the Virginia Republican State Central
Committee met at Richmond pursuant to call.

Lewis, the Chairman, and the candidate Of the
Malone Republican coalition for Lieutenant
Governor, was expelled, and Gen. A. G. Wick
ham was appointed Chairmansin his stead The
committee then decided to call convention for
the oath of August at Staunton, to nominate
State officers.

Statistics of Color Blindness.

The report of the committee appointed
by the Ophthalmological Society OF Lon
don, to collect statistics of cases of color
blindness, presents many features of
special interest. The Secretary of the
committee, DR.. Bradley, with the assist
ance of sixteen colleagues, has examined
18,088 persons of all classes, of whom
1,657 were females. It is at once curl
GUS and suggestive to find that, while the
average percentage of color defects
among men is 4.76, and 3.5 for very pro-
nounced defects, it falls in woman to the
low figure of o.. This, if true, remarks
the London Lancet, would seem to sug-
gest new sphere of labor for women.
If women are comparatively free from
color blindness, they are SO far specially
indicated for many of the less laborious
occupations in which good color percep-
ton is desirable or absolutely indispens-
able. It is satisfactory to find that these
last statistics confirm, in the main, those
collected by the late DR.. George Wilson,
of Edinburgh, nearly thirty years ago.
This is especially noticeable as regards
the comparative frequency of color de-
fects among members of the Society of
Friends, particularly among the poorer
section of them. Though the members
of the Ophthalmological Society seem
either not to have known the fact or to
have forgotten it, DIR. Wilson found
considerable number of cases of color
blindness among the members of the
Society of Friends, and he was of opin-
ion that this was not an accidental cir
cumstance. He further believed that
the largest proportion OF cases of color
blindness would, on extended examina-
ton, be found among the less-accom-
plshed male Friends in thellarger cities.

Substitute for Rubber,

Mr.. Sanders, of st. Petersburg, has
succeeded in producing from the heavy
oils of coaltar new substance which, in
many cases, takes the place of India rub
Der with advantage. tits prepared in the
following manner: A given weight Of
mixture in equal parts of wood oil and
coal tar oil, or of coal tar and hemp oil,
is heated for several hours, at tempera-
ture of about 318 degrees Fahrenheit, so
as to disengage the injurious substances
and increase the viscosity of the mass
until it may be drawn out in threads. A
second quantity, equal to the former, of
lnseed oil, preferably thickened by boil
ing, is now added, and also from one
twentieth to one-tenth per cent. of ozo-
kerit with a little spermaceti. In the
meanwhile the mass is kept at uni
formly high temperature for some hours,
when from one-ffth to one-half part OF
sulphur per cent. is added after which
the product is nodded or otherwise
worked in the same manner as India rub
Der. The proportions Of the three oils
named above may be varied SO as to OBJ
tain harder or more elastic substance,
as may be required. The product is
elastic and tenacious, standing the
weather better than India rubber, and is
not deteriorated by great pressure or
high temperature. 1t is said to be spec
tally suitable for the insulation of tele-
graph wires, sndmay be employed alone
OF mixed with India rubber or similar
resinous substances.

Mr.. RandalI's Scheme.

MIR. Sam Randall has the reputation
of being very successful schemer, but
he viii scarcely be able to secure his
election as Speaker of Republican
House of Representatives. If the va
cancies caused by the designations of
Messrs. Morton and Frye shall be filed
by the election of Republicans, of which
there is little doubt, the number of Re-
publicans in the HoIse, elected as such,
will be 147, or a majority of the whole
membership. In such an event, Mr..
Randall will not be likely to waste any
time upon his proposed combination.
But, in case one, or even both, of these
districts should be lost to the Repubii-
cans. there is no reasonable probability
that Randall's scheme would work. Mr.. J.
HYATT Smith, elected as a Greenbacker
against Chittenden, is just as stanch a
Republican as the extremist he dis
placed, and has already repeatedly de-
c'ared his purpose Of acting and voting
with the Republicans. The majority of
the other GreeDbackers in the House
viii be almost equally disinclined to act
with the Democrats. The last session
Of Congress served to develop the most
pronounced antagonism between the
Democrats and Greenbackers, ami the
3uen who are struggling against the
Bourbons In the Southern States,
whether under the name of Greenback-
ers, ReadiGsters or Independents, will
not care to neutralize their advantages
by coalition with the Bourbon Democ-
racy in Congress.
But there is another element In such a
contest which Mr.. Randall is naturally
slow to acknowledge. 1t is a matter of
great doubt whether, in case the Demo
Gratis we're In complete control of the
House of Representatives, he would be
able to secure their domination for
