Of them saw a hack driver without lights,

San Saba, Texas, can boast of having
some brave young ladies. On Sunday
night, during the absence Of the man OF the
house, a horse thief made an attempt to
steal some horses, which were running foot
loose in tae yard. He was detected by q

liberate shot at the thief. Whether she hit

certain, he got away from there, and left
saddle which be had stolen from another
party in town.
The Puget Sound people oppose the
proposition to make WASHINGTON Territory
a State. The Walla Walla Union says the
cause of the hostility is that four years ago
a constitution was framed in Walla Walia,
and afterwards adopted by large majority
of about half the voters in the Territory,
which by It's provisions gave the Puget
Sound politicians absolute control OF the
proposed State. They fear that new con-
vention would shear them Of their strength
The disappearance OF s., 900 from bank
at Parsons, Kansas, three years ago could
not be accounted for by the cashier, and as
he had been living rather recklessly IT was
believed that he was a thief. He lost his
place, escaped arrest by paying $1,000 to the
bank, and remained ruined In reputation
until lately, when a porter impaired TO- q
companion In a moment OF drunken conf
ience the secret that he had stolen the
money The porter has since made full
confession.
A correspondent of the London Times,
writicg about the decline in the value OF
agricultural land in England, gives as an
instance the sale OF farm in East York
shire, near q railroad station, for $780, for
which 5000 was refused few years ago.
A farm of several hundred acres IN the
same neighborhood, for which over $780, 900
was refused three years ago, has been re
Gently sold for S35 000. The decline in the
price Of land bears about the same ratio to
the decline in agricultural production,
which has fallen off nearly one-halt within
a few years.
Some years ago Lord Lonsdale's younger
brother INDUCED in extraordinary pranks.
Not satisfied with consorting with boxers
and dog fighters, he went on a tour as a
''nigger minstrel" and finally married
Young lady Of the music hall persuasion
AS the present Lord Lonsdale has no issue,
this lady might some day have been cOun
tees, a prospect at which well-bred England
shudders. But it is now represented that
she was already married when she married
Charlie" Lowther, that she is therefore
bigamist, and that the heir to the coronet
will be set free. There are rejOicings &C
cordingly.
Much interest is attached to the prepare
lions being made in England for public
celebration of Mr.. Gladstone's completion
of half century of Parliamentary life.
Mr.. Gladstone was returned for Newark i'm
mediately after the passage OF the reform
bill His first election address was dated
from Newark, October 9, 1882. The nomf
nation took place on December IL, and the
polling on December II and ID. On Jan
usry 30, 1888, the Parliament assembled,
and from that time to this Mr. Gladstone
has been a member of every British P&rlia-
ment The semi-ceDtennial celebration viii
probably be held on December - next, and
will be national in character.
The Inter Ocean Of Chicago is calling
Senator Ingalls, hard names, and thinks It
would "be we'll for his Kansas constituents
to note how often he votes with the Demo-
Gratis" That seems to be the objectionable
sin in the Republican party. The organs
will permit its leaders to lie, defraud, tribe,
steal, levy blackmail and commit divers
other crimes, and even applaud them so
long as they act IN the name OF the party;
but when one OF them shows 80 weak con-
science that he has to vote against party
measure Of surpassing monstrosity, he is
man to be subjected to the discipline of the
organization Of moral ideas but immoral
practices.-BOStO11 Post.
Mr.. Henry Bergh has written letter to
Mavor Grace, OF New York, severely cen
surfing the authorities for permitting the
recent glove fight between Sullivan and
Wilson, and urging that the proposed exhi-
bitiop by the fistic champions In August be
prohibited. Mr. Bergh claims that there
are laws against prize fighting and betting,
and that the late contest was prize fight,
one of the conditions being to knock an an
taeonist "out of time" and that this could
oniv be done by the inhiction Of such blows
as would disable him, whilst fight with
naked fists could do no more. Mr.. Bergh
seems to be entirely correct in his conclu-
sions, and should receive the support Of the
New York authorities.

payne bottle up to the neck with pure milk,

ter dissolving the same In little water over

perature Of so to IS degrees Fahrenheit for
six hours, and finally in the ice box over
night Drink in such quantities as the

serve general important iDjunctions In pre-
pairing the koumiss, and they are; First, to
be sure that the milk is pure; second, that
the bottle is sound, third, that the yeast is
fresh: fourth, to open the mixture in the
morning with great care, on account OF It's
effervescent properties; fifth, not to drink 1t

part resembling cheese, as this indicates
that the fermentation has been prolonged
beyond the proper time.
