pede on her bed" The gas was at the
time turned down quite low, but the men
could see the insect on the bed, and
doubling towel several times, one of
them cast it over the centipede and
clutched it tightly to prevent its escape.
One of the gentlemen was somewhat of
an amateur scientist, and desired ardent
ly to preserve the centipede as speci-
men. Accordingly, the captured insect
was carried in the towel to drug store.
The druggist poured chloroform on the
towel to Supply the creature and to pre-
vent the possibility of its escape, and one
of the clerks stood by with an uplifted
club to strike it should it attempt to get
off The towel was opened, and the ex-
pectant lookers-on were astonished to
find that all the fuss had been made over
little strip of calico.

all very truthful: Every paper north,

thieving, murderous characters that some

On the contrary, many of them are in
telligent men, who have labored hard and
braved the many accidents and diseases
entailed upon those who work under

are evidently honest, sincere workers,

our mining camps, complaining of the
lack of work, and at the same time ment-
ally hoping that none might be offered

One Of the most remarkable DISPLAYS
of nature may be seen on the Atlantic
coast eighteen miles south of st. Angus
tine. Oft Matanzas Inlet and three miles
from shore a mammoth fresh-water spring
gurgles up from the depth of the ocean
with such force and volume as to attract
the attention of all who come in it's i'm
mediate vicinity. When the waters of
the ocean in its vicinity are otherwise
calm and tranquil the upheaving and
troubled appearance of the water Shows
unmistakable evidences of internal COM
motions. An area of about half an acre
has this appearance. Six or eight years
ago Commodore Hitchcock, of the United
States Coast Survey, found six fathoms
of water everywhere in the vicinity,
the spring itself was almost fathomless.

GENERALLY, when the head Of q
nation falls by the hand of an as
sassin, there had been a period of
great excitement and party spirit
has run high. On the I'd Of July,
when Guiteau fred his memorable
shot, there was q nearer approach
to an era Of good feeling in the
United States than had existed at
any time since the second election
OF President Monroe. The lines
which divided Democrats and Re-
publicans were more lightly drawn
than ever before, and political ram
cor seemed to have disappeared.
Such was the season chosen by the
''crank" in which to do his deadly
work. II ever there was an In.
stance when the idea that men are
occasionally possessed by devils
seemed reasonable, it is In the case
of Guiteau. Only on such q sup
position can his dastardly act be
understood. 1t is quite likely,
however, that the modern Repub-
lican fanatic lust for Office possesses
. man with more than the fury Of
seven devils.

Investigations msde in Canada
and Michigan show that the de.
structive forest fires generally start
and spread in the branches and
foliage of trees that are left on the
ground by lumbermen. The res
inous bougbs of pine, hemlock,
spruce and fir will, when dry, kin
die with the touch of a spark, and
produce heat so intense as TO give
fire a great Roadway. 1t will
then dry the wood in living trees
to such al extent that they will
burn readily. After q forest fire
has been raging for a considerable
time it heats the air that moves

A whale was recently stranded
on an outlying point Of the island
of Walls, Orkney. Men, women
and children rushed to the spot
with knives, pitchforks and more
primitive weapons, and cut the
monster in a fearful manner until
it was supposed that life was ex.
tinct. Ropes were afterward pro-
cured and fastened to the whale,
and boats we're proceeding to
tow it into the harbor. With the
rising of the tide the whale foated
but as the boats were being rowed
away in triumph with the prize,
the whale suddenly took q fresh
lease Of life and started seward,
in turn towing the boats. 1t was
only after being dragged over three
miles that the men succeeded in
cutting the ropes and saving their
boats from being swamped.

TIE late President Garfield was
pre.eminently an amiable man,
and he won the cordial regard of
all with whom be was thrown in
contact. He was full to overflow
ing of the honsly and sterling
qualities which enabled Lincoln to
attach such multitudss to him by
ties as strong as steel. Had Gar.
field lived he would unquestlona-
bly, have made the most popular
President we have had since George
Washington. Guitesu's murder
GUS assault at once endeared Gar
field to every American, who felt
that cowsrdly blow had been
aimed at the American idea. No
where were greater evidences of
cordial and tender Interest In the
stricken President shown than In
the Southern States, and Of the
two parties the Democratic has by
long odds exceeded it's rival In
reputation of the act, and
In cordial aspirations fer the
recovery of the President.
This feeling was universal and
hearty In the party, and 1t was the
more generous because, had Gar.
Geld lived, it would have been sim.
ply impossible to have beaten him
ct the polls In 1884. Another re-
suit would have followed with
equal certsinty-he would never,

SENATOR MILLER, In reply to
m interviewer of the Alta on Mon
day evening, expressed the opin-
ion that the business interests of
the United States may be seriously
disturbed for time by the Prssi-
dents death. Had that event
taken place within the first two
weeks of July, the shock would
have been q disastrous one, and
even the public credit might have
suffered for the time being. The
speculative classes would have
been stampeded and even the solid
business interests would have been
shaken. The eleven weeks which
have interviewed between the
wounding and the death of Gar
field have educated even the peo-
pie of Europe up to q keen realiza-
tion of the stability and perma-
nence Of our institutions and there
Is at least reasonable ground for
believing that no financial disaster
OF moment will snsue, notwith-
standing the Senator's rather
gloomy representations. Mr..
Miller also expressed the
opinion that the Democrats
might organize both the Senate
and House. The first event we
had looked upon as certain In case
OF Garfeld's death, but We have
not had any strong hopes Of the
latter. 1t could only be accom-
plished by an alliance between the
Democrats and the Greenbaeksrs,
and the fourteen gentlemen who
constituted the strength of Gen.
Weaver's party In the House of
Representatives have already an
nounced to the 1873 Democrats that
they want the Speaker and about
everything else. A bargain on
this basis would reflect very little
honor on the Democracy, and
would result In no permanent
good to the organization. If the
Greenbackers voluntarily support
the Democratic nominee we'll and
good. Any other arrangement, in
addition to being opposed to sound
political morality, would be on the
principle of allowing the tail to
wag the dog.
