Mosby was seldom defeated and never
outwittea to my knowledge but once.
The incident has never been in print,
! believe, and / am assured that the
partisan never related it, it was SO very
notifying. 1t is trife, bat may
amuse the reader. Colonel Mosby hs1
crossed the mountains with few men
into Clarke County, when he was in
formed that Federal officer with q
squad Of eavafrymen was in the vicinity.
The officer had stopped at "Clay HILL
the residence "a Mr.. Whiting, and
Mosby made up his III I'D 10 capture Of
ficer and men. His action was prompt,
as usual. he went b Clay Hill, cap
tured the Federal obcer while he was
seated at supper and carried him of q
prisoner TO Upperville, east of the Blue
Ridge. There had been nothing at all
unpleasant shout the whole affair.
Mostly and his prisoner were on the
most friendly termA The partisan had
hidden his fAvorite gray mare on the
scout, and at Upperville was standing
beside her ready 10 mount, when the
Federal officer said:
That's a superb animal, Colonel
Yes" was the gratided reply Of the
partisan as he patted the mares neck.
The officer sauntered closer
"a very fine animal r he repeated,
"I'n try her paces.' And throwing
himself into the saddle, he disappeared
at full spesd. and Colonel Mosby never
again saw hi, iavoriie gray mare or bis
prisoner.-J Estca Cool in PhiladeL-

Cattle Counts.

CHICAGO MAY 1.-The Drovers' Jour
nails annual report from the ranching
regions of America, Just published,
shows the outlook for Western cattle
growers to be exceedingly fattering.
The general average loss of cattle during
the winter was per cent. against 9 per
cent during the winter of 1SS0-'81. In
the chief cattle-growing sections the
loss does not exceed per cent. The
general condition of cattle on range is
reported 90 per cent be ter than at the
corresponding time in average years.
Grass is rather more forward. especially
in the southwest. The shipping season
in the more southern States and Terri
tories will open no earlier, but the
general shipping season will commence
sooner: and the southwest shipment this
wear will exceed last years BY fully 10
per cent. Texas will send nj least 20 per
cent more. Gratifying progress has
been made in the introduction of i'm
proved blood, and breeders of fine stock
are enjoying biz boom by reason OF
the extraordinary western demand for
bulls: There are more buyers than
sellers, and the prices average - per
cent higher than last year. There is nc
disease any where except a few scatter.

The Utilities In Mexico.

Prof.. Campbell, OF Montreal, thinks
that he has succeeded in deciphering the
mysterious Hittite inscriptions, and has
established an identity between the
Hittites and the Aztecs. If this be SO.
the Interpretation of the Hittite hero
giypAics may be extended to the Mexi-
can codlces. Even if the language had
been considerably changed by transpor-
tation to the new world, enough Of its
original elements would remain to he,
on the task of deciphering the strange
symbols. Prof. Cappbell has sent his
processes to the London. Society of Bib
heal Archaeology, an organization which
includes IN its membership men thor
oughly competent to Judge of the valid
ity of his conclusions.
1t has been concluded. on much more
tenable grounds than those which identi-
ned our aborigines with the descendants
OF the lost ten-tribes of Israel. that
traces of Asiatic ideas are to be found
on the monuments of Central America
and fucatan. 1t is altogether probable
.nat there were successive immigrations,
differing In time and in the nationality of
the coSnisis. Some came hers by way of
Behring'S Strait. Others are believed
to have made the sunken continent.
OF which the West India Islands are the
peaks, a halfway station in crossing the
Atlantic, while it is not impossible that
there may have bean Buddhistic emigra-
uon from China to the Pacific Coast
early IN the Christian era. We saw
nothing of the Mortimer, who were
mere voyagers and of the semi-mythical
Irish and Welsh expeditions.
When the foregoing catalogue has
been exhaustively studied. little that is
definite Will be gained, in comparison
with the results that would follow Prof.
,oainppeiFs discovery, presuming it to
n % a real one. He has found the key
that unlocks the secrets not only OF
the most polished nation of the new
world, but those OF an ancient Asiatic
empire, which was in fourishing con-
ntion at least sixteen centuries before
the Christian era, and which had begun
TO decline when the Jews were building
VI monarchy in Canaan.
The study of the Asyrian inscriptions
has led tn an examination of the older
Hittlte ones, and archeologists are be-
ginning to dig up the remains of Car
and their other cities. 1t is not
yet settled whether the Hittites were or
were not Semitic race. Their language.
OF which very little is yet known, seems
to Indicate that they were not. Those
OF Their proper names which have
come down in an unsemitized
form are quite rough, though not
quite as prodigal of ks as the
the Aztec names and titles. They are a
beardless race, brave warriors, and en-
terprislng pushers of colonies. They
fought with Egypt, and though they
were nominally beaten, the conquering
Pharaoh married the daughter of the
Hittlte monarch. Their language had
!. wide circulation in Cyprus, and though
the chief seat of their empire was in
Northern Syria, they had pushed their
settlements to the Rgean Sea as early

Another whiskey ring beside which
former consultations dwindle into in
significance. is alleged to have an exist
ence in Washington. The particular
object of the present COLLISION is to Sc
cure the passage of the bill extending
the bonded period for whiskey. The
rumor has been the cause of great deal
ofexcitement in the capital city. Sena-
tor Voorhees,. whose name had been in
cidentally connected with the ring,
called for an investigation, which the
senate refused to grant on the ground
that there was not enough in the report
to warrant expenditure of time and
money. Senator Window, however,
offered an amendment which he after
wards withdrew to introduce as a separ-
ate resolution directing special COM
mittee ''to examine into the alleged pay
ment of a large sum of money by the
whiskey ring to pass the whiskey hond
bill. !" This is assurance that the matter
will receive a probing which will devel-
ope the meat of the cocoanut or show

A more diabolical crime than that per-
petrated in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Sat
urday night, by unknown assassins, has
rarely startled the world. Fiendish in
conception and brutal in execution, it
will remain 10 stain the annals of Irish
history for ages to come. Lord Caven-
dish came bearing the banner of peace
and was met with the red hand of COM
munism. the whole world has burst
out in simultaneous execration of fury
against the dastardly miscreants who
committed this foul outrage. 1t comes
ut a most unfortunate time for Ireland.
just as the storm clouds of coercion
were being dispersed by the sunshine of
Cancellation, the prospect is darkened by
a wave of blood. How much the utter
ances of impassioned speakers in the
Irish cause may have melted the deed is
a knotty problem, but that the League
is directly responsible is happily contra
dicted by the powerful and even fierce
denunciation heaped on the murderers
by every prominent friend of Ireland.
The work is more probably the act of
Fenianism or of agitators who find their
occupation gone by the prospect of a
happy settlement of Irish affairs. What
the result will be upon the Gladstone
government is hard to tell, though the
probabilities strongly favor its over
throw. Should this be accomplished
Ireland will lose the only true friend she
has ever had in England's council, who
possessed power enough to put his SYM
pathies into practical effect.

A Stencil Struck Office.

Quite commotion occurred in a
block not far from the corner of Wash
ington street and Fifth avenue yesterday
afternoon, and for an hour or more the
opinion prevailed that the sci wees Of the
coroner would be required. When the
occupants of an office on the third floor
returned from their noon lunch their
olfactories were greeted with a stencil
that was so overwhelming that it could
not only be tasted, but felt and seen.
Cropping his way to window. one of
the occupants raised sash and obtained
a Whit of air that prevented immediate
suffocation. A current having been es-
tablished, search for the corpse was
instituted, the two closets attached being
examined carefully, but without the dis
covery of anything putrid. Not a crew
ice could be noted in the partition walls
and strangely enough the waves of
stencil were confined TO that single
Office. In despair, the agent of the
building was sent for, and he finally
bc.hought him that a saloon where hot
lunch was served was located on the
basement floor, and thither he wended
his way In answer to inquiries, the
saloon-keeper waxed somewhat indig-
nant and said no odors could possibly
arise from the small amount of cooking
in Misplace. More mystified than ever,
the agert was about to leave when the
saloon-kecper suddenly became pos
sessed of an idea. He recalled the fact
that he had built large ice-chest in the
iron vault, and that from the vault there
was ventiiating fiue leading to the
chimney. In this chest there were
stored limburger, sweitzer, smearease.
bologna, garlic, onions, headcheese,
Russian herring, caviare, and all the
delicacies which delight the German
stomach, and when the lids of the chest
were raised the combined odors went up
that flue. The ventilator opening into
the unfortunate Office was not closed
when the doors of the chest were opened.
and all the smells concentrated in the
unlucky room. All known disinfectants
have been used, and there is hope that
the office can be rendered habitable in
a few days. Chicago Times.

Fitz John Porter has been pardoned
by the President on the recommends
ton of Attorney General Brewster.
The pardon, however, only relieves
him from political disabilities. In or
der that Porter may be reinstated in
the rank which he so covets an act of

there is no telling what influences may
be brought to bear On the average con-
gresham it is extremely likely that Mr..
Porter will not at present secure that
looked for ''vindication." In connec-
ton with this case the following anec-
dote, related by Judge Usher in lee
ture on Abraham Lincoln, at the Kansas
State University is apropos. The
Judge said: "He called on Mr.. Lincoln
shortly after the court martial which
tried Fitz John Porter had rendered its
verdict, and asked the President what
he thought of Porter's sentence. Mr..
Lincoln at once replied: They ought
TO have CONDEMNED him to be shot
Then, after moments reflection, he
added: There he Porter lay within
the sound of Pope's guns, and allowed
our poor boys to be slaughtered ? " AS
there are a good many relatives of those
poor boys still above ground Porter's
chances are decidedly poor, even with
the Presidents pardon at his back.
