First stsel In the United states.

The following account of the first i'm
portation OF stock into the United States
Is taken from the columns Of the Irish
Farmers Gasefte. In 1910 four cows and
a. bull were after long and dangerous
passage by sailing vessel landed In
Virginia from Ireland. These were the
first domestic cattle seen In America.
In l625 eighteen ewes and two rams
were introduced M a novelty into New
York by the Dutch West India company.
The first horses landed In any part of
North America were carried over To
Florida by CsbeccA de Vaca In 1927;
they all perished. The wild horses found
ON the plains OF Texas and the Western
prairie are probably descendants of the
tine Spanish horses abandoned by De
Soto. In 1925 part OF the trade OF the
Dutch West India company was the
carrying OF horses from Flanders to
New York, and that year six mares and
9 horse were safely transported
from France to America. The London
company were the first exporters OF
swine from Britain TO America; and in
the year 1921 they carried on their yes
sells no less than eighty-four, which.
Mt large, end feed and fatten ON the
mast, which was very abundant in the
woods. They increased so fast that IN
1927 the colony was in danger Of being
overrun with them; but the Indians
acquiring a taste for fresh pork, and the
novelty Of hunting hogs, that calamity
was ayerted. So important was IL CON
sidered that the cattle, horses
and sheep introduced into the infant
colony should be preserved and allowed
to increase. that the governor issued an
order prohibiting the killing OF do
mestic animals OF any kind, on pain Of
nbettor or Accessory. In 1889 horned
cattle. horses and sheep had increased
to b. 900 In 1870 there were 90, 100, 900
sheep. 30.OQ0.O00 cattle, OF which over

A Battle with Monkeys.

A correspondent gives the follow
ing graphic account ola fight with
monkeys : A vessel was anchored
off Columbo on the southwestern
side of Cylon. On Sunday the
men asked permission 10 take the
boat and 60 on shore, and their re-
quest was complied with,the captain
sending the second mate with them
"to look after things" They pull
ed around little inlet below the
city and landed. For a wonder,
they did not care for visiting the
town, but preierrel stroll in the
woods, which upon this morning ap
peared to be entirely deserted.
About a quarter OF a mile from
where they lett the boat one OF the
party spied a very young money
lying at the foot of a tree: This
was too much Of a prize for Jack to
pass by. Though warned by the
second mate not TO disturb the in
FAINT protege of Darwin, he seized the
little fellow and essayed to bear
him off in triumph. Hereupon
young Jocko emitted a series OF
yells that caused the forest in the
midst OF which they were wander

scarcely a moment had elapsed

The most de6uile utterance we have
recently seen respecting the probable
party utilization of General Malone is
contained in the Senator's Washington
organ Of this morning. 1t is as follows:
Republicans confidently expect that
General Malone will unite with them
and their four pro 'pective colleagues
10 the matter Of organization, and that
therefore at an early day they will be
able, with the aid OF the Vice Presidents
casting vote, to reorganize the Senate,
and thereafter retain control Of its COM
mittees aud patronage"

this be true or not, but we don't well
see how it can pc true WHOM we remem-

CHOSEN As A RE-ADJUsTER FOR THE
PROMOTION OF LIBERALISM AND

From the WHlo.l

tFron the wHIo.l
For many years my relations with
Gen. Malone have been that Of an init
mate personal and political friend; ne
vertheless in freedom of onr political in
tercourse he has never minated how
he may cast vote as member Of the
Senate. am, therefore, as much in the
dark as TO Lis intentions 10 this regard
as are his enemies who are so much ex-
ercissd upon the subject; nor d. l pro-
pose to speculate npon the subject. As
Conservative and Re-Adjuster. how
ever, l wish to say, General Malone
should, as some say he will, conclude
to vote 10 the reorganization Of the Sc
nate for the Hon. George T.. GOrham
editor eff the National Republican, for
the Office Of Secretary Of the Senate, a
position he has held for many years,
Republican though he be, no Re-Adjus-
ter however decided he may be as Con-
servalive, cau Gnd fault with his vote.
Indeed, hoH General Malone can fail
10 support HIM is more than can see;
it will be r, membered he was not cleo
ted to The Senate because he was Con-
servative or a Democrat, but because
he was prepared to resist that party, if
the occasion required, in the Interest of
adjustment aud the liberal party Of
lch he was the recognized leader. In
any contest, then between Mr.. Gorham

him. Ill now well understood that
the Republican vote Of Virginia will be

it was last November, for Garfield.
Mr.. Gorham has been an important fac
tor in securing this result, and he is en-

A Woman Turning to Bone.

Mrs. Mollie UIz, says New
Albany. Ind, letter, is a highly respect
ed widow Of this city, whose husband,
we'll to do farmer OF Georgetown
township, died about year ago. She
is the Oldest daughter Of Mr.. Joseph
Carne, formerly a carpenter of this
city. who carried on building here ex-
tensively, but now resides on a iarm in
Harrison county, about IA miles from
New Albany. About eight years ago
Mrs. Utz felt her health failing, her
symptoms being those indicated by a
disturbed condition of The circulation Of
the blood. These symptoms grew
upon her, often producing sinking or
fainting attacks. A little over a yeas
ago she noticed a numbness at the ends
of her fingers, and this slowly spread
itself upward until all the fngers on
both bands became involved. But it
was more than numbness-it was ossi.
icalon. The hardening process still
continues, and has now reached nearly
TO the elbows GU both arms. Flesh,
muscles, arteries, and nerves have
undergone the hardening process, and
are now, apparently, solid bone, the
skin covering the ossified parts being
hard and alabaster like in appearance.
Eminent physicians have been called

that the process of ossifcation would

ton. Her heart is seriously compiicat-

element provokes an attack Of faint

The Question Settled.
NahOne Votes with the Re
pubIicans.

On last Monday the Republicans en-
deavored to defeat the organization of
the Senate BY motion to 90 into exc
cutive session. Upon this question
General Malone voted with the Repub-
licans. He is certainly a peculiar demo-
crst. He claims to be democrat but
votes with the republicans against DEM
ocrats. The question is now settled
and the people Of Virginia will place
Gen. Malone where he belongs. A
professed democrat, be acts with the
republicans. The people would not
follow him in the last Campaign in
which the result indicated the wisdom
OF the people Of Virginia. Some were
deceived but the deception will only
make them more bitter against those
who deceived them. Gen. Malone can
90 to the Republicans but If he thiHks
he can lead his constituents into the
Republican party he is deceiving him
self. The people who believed he was
democrat and followed him because
they thought be was the leader Of a
large party of democrats will follow
him no longer. The day when Gen.
Malone can exert an influence in Viz
ginia is gone. Echols was abused and
maligntd because he expressed him
self as preierripg Wickham 10 Malone.
Wickham was known to be republican,
Malone was said to be a democrat, but
is now on the republican side Of tie
Senate voting with republicans. He
can no longer be classed with democrats
and his influence will not reach beyond
the Republican party. We now know
positively where he stands. He is an
open enemy and will be so treated by
the democrats Of Virginia. Will the
tender embraces of the Republicans
compensate HIM tor what he has lost at
home

Malone Commended TO the
Republicans


commend him to you. Is there any
man on that side of the chamber who
doubts that the Senator was sent to this
body as a democrat Is there man
in this vast audience who doubts IT?
Is there a man 10 Virginia who doubts
It! The gentleman himself will not
deny it. Up TO this hour 1t was not
known on Ibis side Of the chamber or
10 the country how the gentleman
would vote. The Senator from New
York (Mr. Conkliog) seemed to have
information that somebody who had
been elected as democrat would vote
with the republicans, and 1 wanted to
find ont who that was. 1t seems that
have uncovered him. Laughter and
applause on the democratic side. For
months the press OF the country has
been discussing and debating how the
Senator would vote. Nobody could
tell Nobody could guess. l have
been a truer friend to the Senator than
he has been to himself. have MAUI
tanned all the time that when 1t came
to the test the Senator would be true
to his commisslon-true TO the demo-
cratic profession which he made when
he was elected. He will now rise and
say that he could have been elected 10
this Senate as a republican, or if he had
given notice thatin tho organization OF
lis body he would have voted with the
republicans. He made some remark
about caucus. have no objection
10 a gentleman remaining outside Of a
caucus. That is not the question. l
have no objection to a gentleman being
independent. That is not the question.
have no objection TO a mans takiog
every side Of a question. That is a
matter Of taste.
But d. object to anybody coming
into this high ceuncil, sent here by one
sentiment, commissioned by one party,
protesting to DO democrat, aud, after
lie gels here, acting with the other par
ty. If the gentleman, as has been very
broadly hiuled, charged his opinions
and lis party affiliations, as he had a
right to do, he should have gone to the
people of Virginia and SAID: "You be-
lieved me to b. democrat when you
gave me this position, hui now ieel #
my duty 10 cooperate with the republi-
can party, and return you the COM
mission which You gave me-" Ii the
gentleman had done that he could have
asked the people of Virginia to renew
his commission, and he would have had
a clam TO the title Of manhood which
he pronounced upon himself here IN
sucn theatrical style. have doue
what the newspapers could not do.
what both parties could not do, what
the whole country could not dol have
brought out the Senator from Virginia.
Laughter and applause on the demo-
cratic side.l But nov, IN the kindest
spirit, knowing the country from which
the honorable Senator comes; identified
as am with Its fame and its character;
loving, as l do. every line in lis history;
revering, as 1 do, its loug list of great
names, perform friendly office, un
