to lose all control of their hind parts

with this malady and their death il

wild Deer Made Tame.

Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Az high mound back of the Dun
barton and Lamarque places, called
Belle Isle, it was reported that there
were many deer in starving con-
dition, and to save what we could DR..
Campbell and your correspondent
started out in skiffs with some of the
hands. Belle Isle is about two miles
back from the Tensas, and rises above
the high water about eight feet, in the
midst of a canebrake. Arriving at
the mound it was found crowded with
cattle, and around it sight the like Of
which will probably never again be
seen by those who witnessed it. In
the water the putrefying bodies of
over fifty deer were lying fostering in
the sun, the stencil poisoning the air
for some distance around. The cattle
had driven them off the crowded
mound, and they were lying FIVE deep.
Among the COWS and pigs seven beau
tiful wild deer were standing quietly,
their large eyes fixed upon the new
comers. They appeared quite tame at
first, but gradually drew away. With
an improvised lariat two were soon
caught and put on board the skiHs.
They struggled but little, ard were in
better condition than would be sup
posed. The others swan into the
cane, and returned as we we're pushing
off. After they we're taken on board
the Susie they soon accepted food
from the hand, and seemed to become
| quite tame.

National Railway.

Special to Cincinnati Con- mercial.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-There is
considerable prospect Of favorable
report from the House Committee on
Pacific railroads on the bill to CHAR
ter a national railway to be con-
structed between this city and New
York. The committee had the bill
under consideration to-day, and,
although it took no action, PROPOSE
tions were submitted and accepted by
the committee to amend the bill by
adding a provision to protect more
securely the interests of the govern
ment, and to prevent the possibility of
a sale of the charter by the company
or consolidation with any other cor
poration.
Such amendment is absolutely ne
cessary, as the sole inducement to
charter such road will be to secure
a competing line to New York. Sem
ator Frye who introduced the bill says
it is utterly impossible for any other
road to be built from this city to New
York in opposition to the Pennsylva.
MIA which so surely controls the Leg.
islatures of the States through which
the road will be obliged to pass, unit
a national charter can be secured
The question as to whether the gov.
ernment can exercise 10 such a ease
the right of eminent domain will nc
doubt be brought up, but it has more
than once been decided in the afirma.
tive, and Mr.. Frye has no doubt that
the bill will be fovorably reported BY
the Senate Committee also.

Tipsy Preachers.
New York Herald, "a.

A New England congregation has
just been so Mortified by a report that
its pastor had been seen the worst for
liquor that it removed itself from the
charge of the offending divine, with
whom no other fault was found. There
was a time, however, and within the
memory of many men still alive, when
intoxicated preachers were not rare
and wheA their influence was not con-
sidered very bad. Fifty years ago
Yankee parson who made the custom.

much rum, gin, brandy and wine
pressed upon him by the godly mem.
bers of his flock that he sometimes
had to break the day In two by long
nap; yet, strange to say, New
England now means for just the
class sef preachers that made pulpitS
lively in those days. Everywhere but
in the United States the drinking
habit is as common among pastors as
parishioners. Probably everyone who
drinks would be better off if he were
to restrict his potations to clear water;
but the preacher who has no fault but
that of occasionally drinking too much
of stronger fluids may deserve better
treatment than to be dismissed. Per
haps if the New England CONGREGATION
alluded to had paid its minister a
good salary, paid promptly, and not
dumped all their petty troubles into
his ears or expected him to compose
too long and too many sermons every
week, the unfortunate man would not
have been compelled to ask help Of a
bottle.

TOney for Mississippi and Mis-
sOuri.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Sen
ate this afternoon agreed to give the
Secretary of War $5,000,000 with
which TO improve the Mississippi
river in accordance with the plans of
the Mississippi River Commission,
and 81 100000 for the Missouri. The
bill was passed just as it came from
the COMMITTEES. The discussion of its
merits came to a sudden end this after
noon, when Garland, Jones and
Kellogg suecessively withdrew their
amendments providing for the appro-
priation of fifteen millions instead of
six, aud for the application Of part,
at least, of the money TO the "recla-
nation Of flooded lands" They knew
that their amendments would proba-
bly, fail of adoption, and they said they
thought it was evident that the Mis-.
sissippi River Commission proposed
to give at once Improvement" and
incidental reclamation" They quiet
ly withdrew them.
Before the bill passed Senator Hoar
said that under certain conditions he
might in the future vote to appropri-
ate money for the reclamation of
flooded lands in the Mississippi valley.
He thought that a construction Of
the Constitution similar to that
under which Alaska and Louisiana
were purchased would give the desired
warrant. He reminded the Senate of
Massachusetts, interest In Louisiana,
arising out of the fact that her citi-
zens' claims against France for the
latter's spoilations found factor in
the negotiations and part of the con-
sideration from the United States, and
that the United States has so far
neglected to pay them.
