PANHANDLE ITEMS.

From the Panhandle.
Prairie hay is being cut and delivered
here at prices ranging from $3.50 s. dollars
. ton.
We understand Cherey and Williams
have large flock Of mutton sheep on the
trail for Dodge City.
"A weekly mail has been put on the line

in the valley Of the Canadian.
-Atthe cattle mems meeting on the 25th
inst, it was decided to begin the fall round
up for district No. l at Curtis ranch On the
18Th OF next September.
We understand that Mr.. Farnk Sehi'l
has lost several head of carle by Texas few
or. Should this scourge become I.nr.l
THE fall it will almost ruin many Of our
beat citizens. But We hope that the calamity
may be averted.
We called on d. W. Van Horn, .he
popular post trader at Fl. Elliott during III s
week. He is complsinng Of scarcity Of
transportation. he has about 100 900 nds
Of fire sht at Dodge which be cannot get
hauled. His opinion is that there sre not
enough teams on the road to supply the de-
mand for corn alone in the Panhandle dur
ing this winter. ALI those abroad having
idle teams should send them along 10 Mo-
beetle where they can get more freighting
than they can do.

An Ancient Dwarf.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-,Journal, writing from Monte
rey, KY, says: 81 opened an Indian
mound near here some time ago. 1t
was about four feet high, and contained
q great many large stones. Apparently
they had been carried great way up a
steep hill. At the bottom I found the
remains of strange being, just four
feet high. His bones were very sound ;
his forehead was not an inch high, but
was very broad. He was put away
very carefully between fiat rocks and
covered with charcoal. On the mound
there was q very large rotten stump,
which looks as if it might have been q
white oak three and half feet in diam
eter. In the grave found q spear sew
en- inches long, of red flint; also very
curious flints Of smaller size, and at his
feet q singular speckled flint with fine
edge to it. The bones are not red like
an Indians, but of dark, ashy color.
The teeth are perfect, and seem to have
been used q long time, which proves
that he was old, although only four feet
high. There are other mounds similar
to this one here, and very different from
the common Indian graves, which are
full of bones of different color, being
red, and all thrown in carelessly.

The Ear.

Few people realize what wonderful
ly delicate structure the human ear real.
" is. That which we ordinarily desig-
nate 80 is after all only the mere outer
porch of q series of winding passages,
which, like the Hobbies of great build
ing, lead from the outer air into the in.
ner chambers. Certain of these pas
sages are full of liquid, and their mem
branes are stretched, like parchment
curtains, across the corridors at differ
emit places, and can be thrown into vi
bration or made to tremble as the head
of q drum or the surface OF
the tamborine does when struck
with stick or with the fingers. Be
tween two of these parchment-like cur
tains, chain of very small bones ex-
tends, which serves to tighten or relax
these membranes, and to communicate
vibrations to them. In the innermost
place of all, rows of fine thread, called
nerves, stretch, like the strings of a pr
ano, to the last point to which the trem-
blings or thrillings reach and pass in
ward to the brain. II these nerves are
destroyed, the power of hearing GER
tainly departs, as the power to give out
sounds is lost by piano or violin when
its strings are Droken.-Phiiadclphia

THE TROUBLES IN IRELAND.

AN official proclamation against the
Land League was issued on the goth. The
proclamation warns the Queens subjects
connected with the League to disconnect
themselves from it and to abstain from Civ
ing further countenance to 1t. All powers
and resources at the Governments COM
mand, the proclamation says, must be en-
ployed to protect the Queens subjects in
the free exercise of their lawful CALL
ings and occupations, to enforce the
fulfllment of all lawful obligations,
and save the process of law and
execution Of tbs Queens writs from him
drance or obstruction. It calls upon all
loyal subject to uphold and maintain the
authority of the law and the supremacy of
the Queen in Ireland. When the news
of the Governments proclamation reached
the Land Leagues Office a hurried
council was held. Books and documents
were secured and letters from the country
destroyed. Many books and papers
were carted to place Of safety; the
lights were extinguished and the doors
locked. The executive officials decamped,
fearing arrest, and leaving only a stock Of
note-paper and envelopes......Th The Land
Court opened on the Goth with crowded
attendance. Lord Justice O'Hagan said
the Court had decided on extremely simple
rules of procedure, free from all technical
tiles. The fee for entering the Court
would be only shilling, so nobody could
have the excuse Of not having advau-
tage of the Land act. There would be
similar fee on giving notice Of appeal.
Many tenants had already applied to have
their rents fixed, but decision could net be
given before the expiration of ten days for

their best to make the act q success. The
Judges statement was received with ap-
plause. Archbishop Croke has published
letter denouncing the action of the Land
League in advising the non-payment Of

termination of seeds generally. He adj
mits the probability, however, that light
may not be advantageous in the case Of
seeds that terminate quickly and easily,

the termination of certain seeds, espe-
cially those of the grasses, will not take
place at all or with great difficulty In

When the earth in which q plant

leux, who used q large dish of earth, in
which he planted the seeds. and kept the
earth ten degrees warmer than the moist
air of the chamber.

New York Hotels.

As New York attracts visitors from all
parts of the world the hotels are well
patronized. Some new features. how

how wealth and luxury can increase the
