"Yes, sir; S12 month"
"Well, now, suppose Mr.. Boggarty should
take into his head to have, at his own ex-
pense, new paper on the walls, the ceiling
whitened and all the furniture mended, the
room would look heap prettier, wouldn't

"Lor !" murmured the Intelligent lad.

Animals and Earthquakes.
Ne,c York Sun.

H
An Italian writer onthe recent catastrophe
on the island OF Ischia mentions those Prog
nostics of an earthquake which a1e derived
from animals. They wete observed In every
place where the shocks were snch rs to be
generally perceptible. Some minutes before
they were felt the oxen aud cows began TO
below, the sheep and goats bleated, aud
rushing In confusion one TO the other, tired
to break The wlcker-work Of the folds; the
dogs howied terribly, the geese aud fowls
were alarmed, and made mach noise; the
horses which were fastened in theif stalls
were greatly agitated, leaped up aud tried TO
break the halteis with which they were At,
tached to the mangers: those which were
travelling on The roads suddenly stopped and
snorted In very strange way. The cats
were frightened and tried to conceal them
selves, or their hair bristted up wildly. Rab-
bits and moes were seen to leave their holes;
birds rose asitscared from The place OH which
they had alighted, and fish left the bottom
OF the sea aad approached the shores, where
at some places great numbers were taken,
ants and reptiles abandoned, In clear day.
light, their subterranean holes In great dis
order many hours before the shocks wee
felt. Some dogs, few minutes before the
first shock took place awoke their sleeping
masters by barking and paliing them, - i
they wished TO warn them Of the impending
danger, and several persons were thus ena'
bled to save themselves.

BuTCHERiNG BUFFALO.
A Hundred Thousand Killed Last Winter In the
Yellowstone Country.
lSioug City Journal.

Siou1 City Journal.
II is estimated by competent authorities
that 100000 buffalo hides will be shipped
out of the Yellowstone country this season.
Two firms alone are negotiating for The ship
ment of 5000 hides each. When to this Is
added the immease amount Of skins and
furs of Other kinds, deer, elk, antelope, bear,
beaver, etc., some idea may be formed OF the
Yellowstone pelt and fur trade.
Most OF our citizeus saw the big load OF
buffalo hides that The G. X. Peck brought
down last seasonal load that hid everything
about the deck below the hurricane deck
roof. There were 10000 hides in that load,
and brought out of the Yellowstone In one
trip and transferred 10 the G. K. Peck. How
| such a load could have been piled on The lit
tie Terry, not even The men on the boat ap-
pear to know. 1t bid every pait of the boat,
barring only the pilot house and the smoke
stacks. But such load will not be attempt
ed again. For such boats as ply the Yellow
stone there are at least fifteen full loads oil
buffalo hides and other pelts. Reckoning
300 hides to tue car load, and adding to this
| fifty cats for the other pelts, ii will take at
least $50 cars TO transport this stupendous
bulk of peltIy east 10 market. These hgures
are not euesses. but estimates made Dy men
whose business il Is to know about the
amount Of hides and fus awaiting ship
ment.
| Nothing like IL has ever been known inthe
| history of the fur trade. Last season tne
output of buffalo hides was above the av-
ave, ace, and last year only about 10000
came out of the Yellowstone country, OF
| less tban q t,;rd of what is there now await
ing shipment.
The past severe winter caused the buffalo

there was pastu' age, and the pasturase went
on all winter. There was no sport about 1t
simply shooting down the famine-tamed ami.

To the credit of the indians, 1t can be

POETRY.
THE ORIGIN OF MAN.

Before the beginning of years,
There came to the making of man
Time, with gift of tears
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure. with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And madness risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smite;
Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light
And life, the shadow Of death.
And the high gods took In hand
Fire, and the falling of tears,
And measure of sliding sand
From under the feet of the years;
And froth and drift Of the sea,
And dust of the laboring earth,
And bodies Of things to be
In the houses of death and OF BIRTH
And wrought with weeping and laughter,
And fashioned with loathing and love,
With life before and after,
And death beneath and above,
For day and night and morrow,
That his strength might endure for span
With travail and heavy sorrow,
The holy spirit Of man.
From the winds of the north and the south
They gathered as unto strife;
They breathed upon his mouth,
They filled his body with life;
Eyesight and speech they wrought
For the wells of the soul therein,
A time for labor and thought,
A time to serve and to sin:
They gave him light In his ways,
And love- and space for delight,
And beauty and length Of days,
And night, and sleep in the night.
His speech Is a burning fire;
With his lips he travaileth;
In his heart il blind desire,
| In his eyes foreknowledge OF death
He weaves and IN clothed with derision;
Sows, and he shall not reap:
| His life In a watch or a vision
Between n sleep and sleep,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
An Interesting Bit Of Diplomatic History.

WASHINGTON, May IA cucioas bit Of
diplomatic history, connected with the strug-
giles of the last Administration with its So
called Monroe Doctrine, has just come 70
light. It consisted Of an effort to secure .
radical amendment to thetreaty of 1S46 with
New Granada, which defines the rights OF
the United States with respect to canal or
other method of transit across the Isthuus.
BY that treaty the United States guaranteed
to New Granada the neutrality of the 18TH
mus, but there was no provision setting
forth which party was to decided when the
time for interfering to protect this neutrality
had arrived. In order to pefine this branch
of the subject clearly, and to give the United
States all the power which Hayes had claim
ed in his version of what Is termed the Mon
roe Doctrine, q commissioner was sent by
the State Department to New York with the
dnft Of q protocol to submit to NJ. San Do
minpo, the Minister Of the United States OF
| Columbia, which covered all the ground
which Hayes had claimed for this govern
ment. BY this protocol the United States
was made the sole judge Of when the time
might arrive for interfering In order to guar
antee the neutrality Of the Isthmus, and when
| Il was decided BY the United States that such
time had come, then this Government was TO
have the right to occupy the bthmus with
military and naval force along the line ol
any proposed canal and 70 build, protect and
defend such Notifications . It might bt

the ratification Of this protocol before th'
close Of the Hayes administration, but th'

and Mill streets, vas visited, where kettle
was found, holding perhaps 40 gallons, cov-
cred over. The boards were removed, and
the kettle was found to be- about half full OF
a substance resembling half-boiled soap,with
scum resembling grease, and the surface
one-half inch In thickness. Several bones
projected from the liquid. Upon examina-
the larger part Of a skeleton was tished uP'
which resemblet that of a woman. The
skull was clean, One OF the limbs was IN
tact and foot perfect, even to the toe nails.
Just then the two young men, medical stu
