Hercules Among the Stumps.

While travelling in Michigan we met
Mr.. John Carpenter, with an ordinary
splint market basket upon his arm in
which were his cartridges, like long yell
low colored thick candles about an inch
and half in diameter about dozen in
number, and coil of fuse that looked
like piece of thin twisted wire cord
He had box of gun caps also which
fitted upon the end of the fuse. At
distance was man who seemed to be
poking around the stumps with spade,
and who had what appeared to be a
straight iron crowhar with chisel-
shaped point and broad head on the
other head, After examining the stump
and deciding upon the right place for
the charge to be placed, he sunk this
down|f far into the ground, and then drove
it as deep as he thought necessary in a
sloping direction under the stump with
maui. The rule is to get the charge
as close up to the wood Of the stump as
possible, and about the center. This
made the hole. Mr.. Carpenter followed
with his basket and his tamper. He first
found the depth of the hole with the
tamper; then he took the cartridge, and
putting cap on the fuse, sunk it in the
soft explosive, where it remained while he
gently slid the cartridge into the hole.
pushing it to the bottom with the lamp
er. He then pushed two or three small
pieces of mould or earth down to the
cartridge, pressing it lightly; he next
tamped the hole full of earth, and
lighting the match set the fuse on fire.
We all stood back then about ten rods
and waited for the result. The stump
was a tough old oak tree about tthree
feet across, with a firm hold on the clay
soil, and looked as if it might last, if
undisturbed, for the next hundred years.
All at once we saw that stump hump it.

The Political Pot In PeRnsyI
VRRias

Harrisburg, 21.-In the republican
caucus Judge Jessup offered a resO-
luton that the state executive COM
mittee call new convention. under
new rules, to complete the state
ticket, with full power to modify
the present ticket for the best inter
est of the republican party of
the state. Unless the griev-
ances of the independents were
patched up the democrats would
carry the legislature as we'll as the
state. The charge (Which he dis
believed that one man had
dictated the nominations was
believed in some quarters and
must be met. He favored a new
convention. Huey, of Philadelphia,
spoke similarly. Carnahan opposed
the attempt to placate the indie
pendents. Fisher wanted to COM
plete the present ticket and sweep
the state. McCleary moved a sub
stitute to complete the ticket, and
rec )mmended the republican state
committee to adopt all honorable
means to harmonic the patty to Sc
cure success in November.

The Tariff Commission.

Washing ION, 2l.-The Senate, in
executive session to-day agreed to
confirm the tariffcommisSion Us NOM
mated. The discussion of the mat
ter In executive session was very
brief. Senators Pendleton, Sauls-
bury, Beck AID Van Wyke made
short speeches against their con-
tirmatiOn, and Senators HOar,
Hawley, Brown, of Ga, and Davis,
OF Westa Virginia, spoke with equal
DreVlty in favor of confirming all
the nominations. When the vote
was reached the Senate stood for
confirmation 80, against continuation
22. Two democrats, Messrs. Brown
and Davis, of West Virginia, voted
in favor of their confirmation and
one republican, Senator Van Wyck,
of Nebraska, against it. Senator
Sewell, who was paired with SEN
atOr Mcpherson. and Senator Frye
who was paired with Hill, of
Colorado, voted for the confrma-
ton, claiming that if the gentlemen
with whom they were paired were
present they also would vote for the
confirmation. Several democratic
senators were absent without being
paired. Among others was Senator
Bayard, who is said to be so dis
gusted with the votes of the finance
committee on the whiskey bill that
that he will have nothing further
to do with measures agreed to by
that committee.

SiouxCity, iowa, 20.-The Journal

in northwestern Iowa, southwestern
Minnesota, southern Dakota and
northwestern Nebraska. The gen.
eral outlook is more favorable than
ever known before at this season,
the acreage is largely increased and
in some of the Dakota counties 800
percent. greater than last year.
Small grain is immense, corn some
what backward, but stands good.
Plant strong, and IN many points
report it as far along as usual at
this time of the year, the acreage Of
corn IS largely increased over any
previous season, while wheat and
other small grains remain about the
same. The prospect at this time is

Fer the Cyclone SuG rers.

Chicago, 21.-Hen. J. B. Grinnell.
of Grinnell, Iowa, is here to solicit
aid for the cyclone sufferers in
Iowa. He visited a number of citi-
zens and received great encourage
ment and sympathy, and made an
address on Change, wherein he re-
lated briefly the appalling facts
about the storm, and depicted in
strong language the desolation and
want Of the thrifty town, and
eloque1tly appealed to their gener-
osity. j. Y. Farwen announced
that his check for $1,000 was ready
for the committee. President Dun
ham appointed a committee Of
seven to act ia concert and to raise
funds. The prospects are good for
large subscription.

The General Resnlt.

Chicago, 21.-The condition of the
strikers at Irondale, who struck
against wages ranging from 81. SO
to Sl2 per day, is becoming pitiabIe,
Their boosted reserve fund does
not pan out and many of them are
actually suffering. They only grow
more stubborn, however, preferring
to depend on the town for support
than yield their point. The Hyde
Hark authorities have given notice
that they will not on anv condition
give the strikers any aid, for which
declaration the strikers hold the
Calumet Iron and Steel Company
responsible.
Buffalo, 21.-All the papers pub
llshed as usual. The Courier offers
the rates demanded by the strikers,
0ut only to outsiders. Other
papers take similar stand.

OHICuGo lItHus'
The republicans have carried the
state of Maine by methods which leave
them little to boast of. II is almost
certain that Plaistod was beaten by the
corrupt use of republican money,
which was sent into that state by the
party bosses In very liberal quantities.
The purchase of votes, according to
common report, was open and shame
less, As high as $40 was paid in some
cases for n vote for Robie, the usual
rate being from So TO SIG. The tactics
used were, in short, the same rs those
employed by Mr.. Dorsey in Indiana
during the campaign of 1880, and if
tho distinguished star-route highway
man had not been engaged in Wash
ington, it would be difficult to believe
that he had not engineered the Maine
canvass. The party's anxiety about the
purity of the ballot does not seem 70 be
more than skin deep.

Chambers Journal.
In 1877 a man who died in Berlin,
leaving behind him fortune of $4,000
marks, surprised all who knew him by
deyising that $4,000 marks should go
to tho authorities of his native place,
and that the remainder should be di-
vided between nine relatives and u
friend with whom he had quarreled,
the share of any one of the legatees be-
coming forfeited if he followed the tcs-
tator to the grave. His relatives re-
ligiously obeyed the dead mans decree,
but the estrangod friend, remembering
old times, could not refrain from going
quietly to the church-yard and paying
his last respects to the deceased. BY
and by codicil came to light directing
that Il any one of the ten legatees un
der tho viii should disobey the iniunc-
tion regarding tho last ceremony, he
was to receive the bulk of the money
left to the testator's town; and, thanks
to tho shrewd device, tho man who
thought more of his old friendship than
his friends money found himself COM
fortably provided for for tho rest of his
lifo.
