Whole herds of cattle are sometimes
destroyed by this venemous bat. 1t

this animal accomplished this insidiOus
and deadly work; but scientific men
have now decided that the tongue,

tension, II furnished at its extremity

upon cattle these dreadful animals

The wound, made probably from the
small, needle-like teeth, IL fine, round
hole the bleeding from which it is
dificult to stop. 1t is said that the
wings Of this deadly bat fly around
during the operation Of wounding and
drawing blood, with grea: velocity,
thus tanning the victim and lulling
while the terrible work IL in proeress.
Some Of these creatures measure two

and they are often found in great num-

How to Break Onseif of Bad Habits:

How to Break OnSeH of Bad Habits:
Understand clearly the reasons, and
all the reasons. why the habit is in
furious. Study the subject till there is
no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid
the places, the persons and the thoughts
that lead to the temptation. Frequent
the places. associate with the persons,
indulge the thoughts, that lead away
from temptation. Keep busy; idleness
Is the strength of bad habits. Do not
give up the struggle when you have
broken your resolution once, twice. ten
times or q thousand times. That only
shows how much need there il for you
to strive. When you have broken
your resolution just think the matter
over, and endeavor to understand why
1t was that you failed, so that you may
be upon your guard against recur-
renee of the same circumstances. DO
not think it little or an easy thing
that you have undertaken. 1t is folly
to expect to break of bad habits in IA
day, which have been gathering strength
In you for years.

testimony relative to De Young's threats
against Kalloch's family. The prisoners
mother was put on the stand and testified
as to his uniform good conduct, and his
state of mind consequent upon the shoot
ing Of his father. Mayor Kalloch also tes-
| titled as to the conduct Of his son. He was
then asked regarding any interviews he had
had with De Young, and as to any threats
uttered against him by the latter. He tes-
titled that he bad had several interviews
with De Young, n Of which was on the
night after he was nominated for Mayor
by the Workingmen. 1t was a memorable
one. He was about to narrate it when OBJ
lection was interposed by the prosecution.
The point was argued at length, the de-
tense claiming that they had the right to
show that in the said interview De Young
threatened to drive Kalloch's family out Of
town. unless they would comply with his
wishes. The objection was sustained.

The Experience Of an Eastern Ad.
venturer with the Invinctble
Foot-Pad.
Leadvills Democrat.
A few nights ago there arrived In this
city q gentleman by the name Of Paul
White, and going to the hotel he register
ed his name and began to explore a city
that wa rendered famous for it's infamy
by the exaggerated reports that have cir
culated through the East, and given to
every visitor and adventurer . peculiar de-
sire to look through it. White came here,
and asking at the hotel where the theater
was, he was sent to McDaniels', where he
was q witness to theatrical sights and beer
jerking, something that is harley seen in
the theaters Of the East. 1t was q o'clock
in the morning that he started for his
room at the Clarendon Hotel, and walked
leisurely along until he reached the corner
of Third street and Harrison avenue.
Here he was confronted by two men, who
demanded him to hold up his hands.
He had been looking for Leadville life, and
he was getting 1t now with unpleasant
reality. He was no tenderfoot, however,
in the matter Of self-defense, and pulling
out his gun struck one man over the head
with 1t, stunning him, while the other took
to his heels and hurried away a. fast as his
limbs would carry him. White FASTENED
to the hotel and related his experience TO
the clerk, and when he left that morning
for the East he was quite satisfied with his
experience. Leadville is q pretty good
place for q man with q miners garb, but
for a fellow who 10 an edifce OF fashion
and style it is not safe to keep late hours.
White says that it was his diamond stones
that they evidently wanted and had he sur
rendered they would have relieved him OF
them to the amount OF about $500. He
has taken in the sights, and he, too, can
relate q wonderful experience in the Camp
OF the C~arbonates.

The Mining Interes. East.

We find the following In the Alta-Cali.
fornian Of q recent date. G. J. Grifath.
Superintendent Of the Wales Consolidated,
has just returned after an extensive visit
East. He examined some mines in Utah /;
saw Little Pittsburg. Chrysolite. Little
Chief and several other mines in COL
orado; stopped In Denver, Chicago, St.
Louis, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and spent
Q whole month In New York City. which
he describes as the great money and bust
ness center Of the world, and where many
millions Of dollars seek Investment ut Ave
per cent per n um Outside OF the re-
ports on the Utah and Colorado mines, his
visit East was strictly Of a pleasure-seek-
ing In its character, the condition OF the
roads near the Wales mine making the
transportation Of the hosting machinery
weighing over as, 900 poundD impossible
during the past three months. Through
out the East he found . growing interest
In mines generally, especially those located
In Utah, Black Hills, Colorado, Arizona
and Mexico. Several stock exchanges
have been opened and are doing 9 large
business In the principal cities, especially
In New York and Philadelphia. where four
separate mining boards seem TO DO q big
business. more particularly In Colorado
mines. Boston. Chicago. st. Louis. Dem
yer, and Leadville, have also opened min
ing boards, and promise to help develop
the great mining resources OF the country
TO a more liberal extent than ever. He
met In New York City fully fifty Califor-
nians who make thatlcity their permanent
residence, many Of whom are apparently
successful Wall street operators. Grit
will supply us with a detailed account OF
his trip shortly, We hope.
