An Odd Firht.

A traveller in South Africa witnessed
a singular combat. He was musing,
with his eyes on the ground, when he
noticed caterpillar crawling rapidly
along. Pursuing him was a host of small
ants. The ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing, the
caterpillar would turn his head and bite
and Kill his tormentor. After slaughter
ing number of his prosecutors, the
caterpillar showed signs of fatigue. The
ants made combined attack. Betak-
ing himself to a stalk of grass, the cat
erpillar climbed up tail first, followed
by the ants. As soon as one approach
ed he seized it in his jaw and threw it
off the stalk. The ants. seeing that the
caterpillar had too strong a position for
them to overcome, resorted TO strategy.
They began saving through the grass
stalk. In few minutes the stalk fell,
and hundreds of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar He was killed at once, and
the victors marched off in triumph, leay-
ing the foes body on the field.

Brillat savarin' s Cooking Exploit.

Apropos of natural gravy, says Bril-
lat Savarin: lone day / was conduct
ing two ladies to Melin, and on reach
inc Montgeron, after several hours
travelling, we felt hungry enough to eat
an OK. Alas! the inn we stopped at,
though looking decent enough, had
nothing but an empty larder. Three
stage coaches and two post chaises had
been before us, and, like the Egyptian
Iocusts, had devoured everything. Look
ING into the kitchen, however, saw
turning on the spit leg of mutton, the
very thing wanted. The longing gianc-
es of the ladies were in vain, for it be-
longed to three Englishmen who had
bought it, and were now patiently wait
ing, chatting over a bottle eff cham
pagne. But, surely said /, in mix
ed tone of annoyance and entreaty, you
might fry us those eggs in the gravy OF
this roast; what with that and cup OF
coffee with country cream to it we shall
be resigned to our fare certainly,
answered the cook, the gravy l have q
right to dispose of, and in two minutes
vou,n have your DISH Whilst he was
breaking the eggs / went to the tire
place, and with my travelling knife
made in the forbidden gsgot dozen
deep wounds letting every drop OF the
gravy run ont Then, watching the
preparation of the eggs, lest anything
should spoil my plot, | took possession
of the dish and carried it to our room.
We, of course, made a capital meal,
laughing loudly every time we thought
of ourselves having the best part OF the
roast, and our friends, the English,
chewing the remainder"

AN ELECTRIC STORM.

CHICAGO, Nov 17-Of1cials of the
Western Union Telegraph company say
the electrical disturbance in this country
to-day is the most pronounced and wide
spread experienced for many years, if, in :
deed, they were ever paralleled in some
respects at any time An electric storm of
the greatest violence is now raging in all
the territory from New York to point
beyond Omaha, and from Kansas City
north to the terminus of telegraphic com
munication practically putting stop to
the telegraphic service over the entire area
1t first began to be felt about 4 o'clock
this morning and increased in intensity
till 9:4, when communication from every
direction was cut off.
This electric storm seemed to 60 in sue
cessiVe negative and positive waves alter
nately, neutralizing the currents on the
wires or increasing their intensity to such
a degree as to burn everything up. The
switch board here has been on fire dOZ-
en- times during the forenoon, and half
dozen KEYS of instruments melted by the
current which continued to pass through
the screw, turned up and points parted to
their furtherest limit duplex, quad
replex wire rendered entirely
useless and at noon but single wire of
fifteen between this city and New York in
operation, and it wasfrequently interrupted.
Word received from Milwaukee that the
atmospheric electricity coming in on one
of its wires from that country had such
dynamite power as to suffice for keeping
electric lamp burning. All business at the
office here accepted subject to delav. Even
associated press report unavoidably de-
layed, and up to l O'Clock this afternoon
less than 500 words have been transmitted

Goldfish Balls or Death.

There was q singular case up for trial
IN the Justices court the other day at
Sawtooth. The question to be decided
by the justice was whether a restaurant
keeper is justified in shooting a man for
refusing to eat his Goldfish balls. The
judge of the law and justice decided
yes. The case was as follows: The pro-
prietor of a Sawtooth restaurant placed
a plate of codfish-balls on the table of a
young man. and regular boarder, who
had seated himself for a grub The
boarder was calmly and peacefully stow
ing away the victuals, but didn't take in
any of the Goldfish balls
The restaurant-keeper approached
him, and said in a commanding tone of
voice: ''You eat them Goldfish balls
Il don't like Goldfish balls, - replied the
boarder.
''You eat them Goldfish balls, I tell
your
II tell you l won't; 1 don't like 'em''
81 tell you once more to eat them
Goldfish balls. If you don't I'll sh It
you;" and the Northumberland started
for his pistol. The boarder saw he had
to do one of three things-eat the cod
fish balls, refuse again and be filed with
leaden bullets, or skip. He skipped
just as his coat-tail was vanishing out
at the door the irate observation-disclosures
blazed away. but missed him. The
boarder had him arrested The justice
in his dignity, decided that the propri-
etor of a hash-house was perfectly iusti-
fable in shooting at bOarder with in
tent to kill for refusing to eat his Goldfish
balls Idaho World

Where do they go-the ungranted prayers,
The bafIled hope, lost love, and wasted yearning,
The sweet vain dreams, the patient sighted cares
Cast on the tireless tide that has no turnlngs
The sleepless nights, the weary, anxious days,
The eager JOY that blossoms but for blighting.
The mocking CLEANS that glitter on one ways,
To vanish in moment OF delighting7
Are they stored up In some great solemn bank,
Where Time holds for Eternity the keyY
As the rich hues that IN the westward sank
May sleep, enshrined beneath the sleeping sea7
Or do they, blended In q gracious breath,
Peryade the atmosphere OF common life,
Sonening the terror OF the door ofdeath
Lulling the fret and fever Of the strife ?
Who knows, who knows? Our darngs nom MS glldei
Imploring clasp and passionate prayer, are
Our trust betrayed missed aim, shattered pride,
The great dumb river sweeps them to the snare.
Aud yet, for something every gin is given,
Through age on age, so priest and poet saith.
Cling fast, fond hand look up, true eyes, to Heaven
Through dusk and doubt hold TO the saving faith

EDITORIAL NOTES.

PERSONAL popularity is good thing,
but it really gives man no right to hold
on to another mans seat in the House.
The great naval engagement of the
period resulted in the sinking of the Ten
nessee sloop by t9e New Jersey iron-clad.
WHERE was the agent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
when the orphan from Tennessee was
being pulverized?
AGREEABLE manners and redundant
zeal i'll securing appropriations do not
constitute for their possessor valid title
to seat in the House to which another
man was duly elected.
So LONG as thousands of Americans,
who know next TO nothing about their
own country, are going abroad every
season and travelling over Europe, we
should not be surprised that Europeans
are, as rule, utterly ignorant of Amer
lea and its belongings.
TIE home of many poor widow in
this city has been sold under the ham
mer for taxes. Even the homes of SOL
diers' widows have not escaped. This
fact should not be lost sight of when
Congress is asked to remit taxes or
exempt property from taxation.
THERE is one joke that always raises a
roar of laughter in Bourbon conven-
tiop. 1t is the stock resolution in favor
of a free and fair expression of the pop
ular will through the ballot-box." We
suppose convention of professional
thieves would laugh uproariously while
adopting platform denouncing all kinds
of dishonest practices.
SOMEWHERE in his inimitable and un-
approachable Breakfast Table Series "
Dr. Holmes speculates on what would be

If William Holman had been consulted about

pensity n respectful consideration. He was In
clned to universal objection child, and he has
been very Objectionable as man. His career has
been run on ono wheel, and If it chanced to wab-
BILE from the straight line of opp siton IL has only

less obstinacy could, by any possibility, enure to
his credit But year after year this man goe, back
to his constituency, and with unmatched assur-
ance asks reelection on the ground thai lie has been
a valuable legislator He has done more in his
petty higgling way to obstruct and delay, the

of the most expensive and most useless members
that ever enjoyed the honor he unworthily bears.
