A Spell on the corpulent Gentleman.

Two or three years ago there lived in
the lower oil country a prominent oil
producer who was VIGOROUSLY bad
speller. In letter, among other errors.
he spelled water with two is. A party
of gentlemen were discussing this pecu-
liarity in the bar-room of the Collins
House, Oil City, one evening, when the
poor speller himself chanced to come in
"Hellor' said one of the party, corp
ulent gentleman, now remotely con
nected with the New York Petroleum
Exchange, 1--WE were just talking about

what were you saying?"
"Why, some of the boys claim that
you are the worst speller ID seventeen

They do. l think can spell about

''I'n tell you what I'll do with you. -
said the first speaker, I'm bet the cham

he proceeded to spell the word,
'w-a-t-e-r."
That's the way I spell water fer

Ought Never to Have Been Begun.

Our Republican authorities at Wash
ington have been considering the pro-
priety OF abandoning the suit set on foot
against Mr.. Tilden to compel him to pay
over an income tax which he paid and
got receipt for years ago, as it was as
sessed against him by the lawful officers
OF the government, he being at the time
unable TO determine what his income
actually was, or whether he had any in
come at ALL
1t appears that the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Acknowledgement and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue have
been pondering upon the subject and
think best to get rid of it, provided the
counsel OF the Government and the
court here do not see some very strong
reason to the contrary.
We opine that public sentiment will
heartily concur in this determination.
This SUIT Is one which ought never to
have been brought. The only reason
for beginning it was to persecute the
man whom the Republicans had de-
frauded OF the Presidency. Thousands
OF wealthy citizens had failed to make
a return OF their incomes for reasons
not ha1 SO conclusive rs Mr.. Tilden' 5,
and nothlng was done about it after
ward; and there would never have been
any thought of a suit in his case but for
Mr. 1llden's political eminence, and
for the desire OF those who had wronged
him to do something to humiliate him.
The prosecution of Mr. Tilden has
damaged no one but those who brought
it; and the sooner it is abandoned the
better 1t will be for all parties con-
cerned, except Mr. Tilden himself. ~

A Fight With Montana Wolves.

A son of Mr.. S. A. Thompson, of
Mounds View Township. Ramsey Coun-
ty, is now in Montana Territory. In a
recent letter to his parents he narrates
some of his hunting adventures He
finds game plenty and with his trusty
rifle brings down an occasional deer and
antelope. He also finds in great num-
bers several varieties of large prairie
birds, the names of which he does not
know. He details a rather startling adj
venture with wolves. He had pursued
wounded deer some three miles from
his camp, when the darkness OF night
overlook him. On his way back to his
camp, where he had left his companion.
he found himself suddenly surrounded
by numerous pack of large, black Mon
tana wolves. The moon was SHINING
brightly. He could not tell how many
Of these yelping ours of the forest there
were, but he could see there were good
tnany. He fired on the gang in as RAPID
succession as possible and thus kept
them at bay, though at times they came
within ten feet of him. He finally
reached the camp in safety, having shot.
he thinks, more than twenty OF the
wolves.-St. Paul Globe.

An Afflicted Family.
An English exchnnge savs:

| An English exchange says:
Recently, while the Princess of Wales
was sitting in her carriage, near one of
her country homes, working man
rushed forward and offered to shake
hands with her. This was regarded by
the officers as flagrant offense. and the
man was promptly elubbed and dragged
off,
The English paper adds, 1.-the Princess
bore the insult remarkably well, merely
shrinking back in the carriage"
From special Loadon correspondent
of Teras S,ftingS we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars. The Princess bore up
under the crushing disaster with re-
markable fortitude, but the most terrible
effects of the blow fell upon her royal
relatives and the crowned heads of Eu-
rope. The Prince of Wales had only
sworn off week previous, and was be-
having himself remarkably well, but
when he heard that a man below the
rank of Duke had offered to shake hands
with his wife, he just let 60 all holds

not drawn a sober breath since. Queen
Victoria had washed the breakfast
dishes. and was just hanging out the
clothes in the backyard of Balmoral Cas-
tie. when she heard the dread tidings.

her mouth, but was brought to in few
hours. On hearing, however, that the
miscreant was named Snooks, and did
not even have kid gloves on, she had a
relapse. She has been so i'll ever since
that Princess Beatrice has had to chop
the firewood, make the fires, and do all
the cooking. She has even to chop up
the firewood with her own royal hands.
She asked the Prince of Wales to cut her
up an armful of wood, but he was not in
a condition to comply with her request.
The Duke of Edinburg was requested to
take off his coat and help out. but he
said he was not that kind of Duke, and
that the family had better have their

An Eastern Romance.


The reported death of the deposed
gaekwar of the principality of Baroda,
in Western India, closes another chap
ter in an Eastern romance well worth
the attention of any historical novelist.
Some years ago the gaekwar was de-
tected in deliberate attempt to poison
Colonel Phayre, the British resident at
his court, and was dethroned forthwith.
The vacant throne was filed by a youth
of twelve, originally the son of a Hindu
peasant. The Princess having seen the
child in his native village and taken a
fancy to him, adopted him as her own.
This adoption, according to native ideas,
made him in all respects her lawful son
and heir. A similar adoption formed the
basis of the claim put forward by Mana
Sahib, and disallowed by the English
Government with such fatal results.
In the case of the young gaekwar, how
ever, no opposition was made, and this
lad, who was running about mud vii.
