Wolves and Wild Horses.

IL is said that whenever several of the
larger wolves associate together for mis-
chief in the German forests and their
neighborhood, there is always a ulmer-
Gus train of smaller ones to follow in the
rear. and act as auxiliaries in the work
of destruction. Two large wolves are
sufficient to destroy the most powerful
horse, and seldom more than two ever
begin the assault, though there may be
score in the gang. 1t is no less curl
Gus than amusing to witness this ingen-
ious mode of attack. If there is no snow,
or but little upon the ground, two wolves
approach in the most playful and caress-
ing manner, lying, rolling, and frisking
about, until the too credulous and I'M
suspecting victim is completely put off
his guard by curiosity and familiarity.
During this time, the gang, squatted on
their hind quarters, look on at dis
lance. After time spent in this way,
the two assailants separate, when one
approaches the horses head, and the
other his tail, with Q shyness and cum
ming that is peculiar to themselves, At
this stage of the attack their frolicsome
approaches become very interesting
they are right good earnest; the former
is mere decoy, the latter is the real as
sailant, and keeps his eye fixed steadily
on the hamstring or flank of the horse.
The critical moment is then watched,
and the attack is simultaneous; both
wolves spring at their victim the same
Monochrome to the throat, the other TO
the falkland. if successful, which they
generally are the hind one never lets 90
his hold until the horse is completely
disabled. Instead of springing forward
or kicking to disengage himself. the
horse turns round and round without
attempting defence. The wolf before
then springs behind to assist the other.
The sinews are cut, and in half the time
/ have been describing it the horse is on
his side; his struggles are fruitless-tbe
victory is won. At this signal the look
ers on close in at gallop; but the small
fry Of followers keep at respectful dis
lance until their superiors are gorged,
and then they take their turn unmolest-

DISCRETION.

A young German who lived with his
wife on Wells street in Moline left his
home yesterday morning to attend to work
at the Moline Wagon Works, and on his
return last evening, he found that his wife
and furniture had disappeared.
During the absence of her liege lord,
Nj rs. Harder Secured the services of an
express wagon, and had her household
effects removed to Rock Island. She
assigns as reason for such conduct that
her husband abused her, and she desires to
live away from him.
The deserted husband placed his case in
the hands of an attorney, and to all appear
ances he was more interested in recovering
possession of the furniture than in obtain
ing his wifes society.

Write Plainlr-

Strange as 1t may seem to the uniniti-
ated, it is nevertheless fact that an es-
say or a story does not appear the same
in manuscript as in print. Every editor
knows this by painful experience, and So
does the writer of the following extract
from the Boston Herald:
The rejection of the manuscript of an
unfamiliar author is perhaps Oftener on
account of illegible handwriting than
of lack of merit. There is no greater
torture for an editor than to have to at
tempt to decipher bad manuscript. and
the sense, especially of poem, is fire.
quently entirely lost in the tangled mass
of wretched penmanship.
Sir Francis Jeffrey knew so well the
difficulty of forming correct Judgment
of an article by a reading i'm manuscript,
that when he sent in his first article af
ter he had retired from the Edinburgh
RegietC, he had an understanding with
Napier, his successor, that it should
not be read until it appeared in the
proof.
A few years ago, the editor of the
Saturday RecteW was accustomed to
have every article which appeared as if
it might be worthy acceptance put into
type before deciding upon it, for as
Charles Lamb says, there is no such raw
and unsatisfactory reading as an article
in manuscript.
Even authors of wide experience. like
Thomas Moore and Macaulav, were sell
dom able to form a Judgment of their
own works until they had seen how they
looked in print.

An Old Driver.

David Walker, of New York, is prob
ably the oldest street car driver in the
United States in point of service. He is
sixty years old, and has been q driver
twenty-eight years and half He
thinks in that time he has ridden about
million miles, so that if he had kept
on in straight line he would have gone
around the earth forty times. He has
carried children to and from school. and
then carried their children Overthe same
route. The fastest mile the driver ever
made was somewhere back in the six
ties. A Washington Market butcher
and the President of the road were on
the car The butcher was particular
friend of the President. He had 81 800
worth of meat to dispose of that morn
ing, and had oversight himself. 1t was
summer, and if he failed to reach the
market before a certain time he would
have slim chance of selling out and
the meat might spoil on his hands. The
President told the driver to let the
horses go. They went like flash. Fire
flashed out of the eobble-stones. The
people on the pavement stared wildly.
The distance between Eighty-sixth and
Sixty-first street. mile and quarter,
was covered in five minutes. Still the
driver piled the whip, and on the car
went Nobody was taken on. 1.-The
President was watching Dave Walker.
Fifteen hundred dollars worth of beef

pooR REPUBLICANS.

The District Conference of the Metho-
dist church closed its labors at Moline last
Thursday.
The most important feature of the entire
proceedings was the adoption of q series
of resolutions denouncing the republican
party for ITS failure 10 properly entertain a
resolution looking to the submission Of a
prohibitory amendment to vote of the
people. :
The resolutions in question are given
below:
Resolved, That the liquor traffic is pro-
life source of Incidence, disease. poverty.
dishonesty, habitual corruption, crime and
ruin, and is therefore morally and politi-
cally wrong.
Resoloed, That inasmuch as municipal
law is defined by all reputable authors to
be rule of conduct prescribed by the SUI
preme power in the state commanding
what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong therefore the state has no right to
license the liquor traffic. its entire proper
function toward crime being exhausted IN
the duty of prohibition, with such legal
penalties as may be deemed necessary for
its enforcement.
Resolved, That in view of the great in
EQUITY of the liquor traffic, the wrongs and
evils it perpetrates upon society, we are
uncompromisingly in favor of placing a
prohibition on the importation, manufac
ture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the
organic laws of the land, and viii not
cease our efforts until prohibi
ton, state and national, shall be secured.
Reso1Ued, That the sovereign people of
a. - 1<r, ft.<ax
ent state constitution reserved to them
selves the right of amending that instru-
ment, as in their judgment the general
welfare and happiness of the people might
require; and any effert on the part of poll
ticlans to deprive the people OF the priv
lege of giving expression at the ballotbox
upon the proposed amendment is usurp-
alton of power that ought to be promptly
rebuked.
Reso1ped. That the action of the state
convention of the Republican party at
Springfield, june 20, 1882, by which said
convention refused by vote of FIVE to one
to sanction the submission of q prOhibitory
amendment to a vote of the sovereign peo-
pie, was an act in which those professed
representatives of the people assumed that
the people have no rights that the politi-
clans are bound to respect.
RESOLVED, That no party that attempts
to suppress the voice and vote of the
sovereign electors and our common wealth
is worthy of the support of free and in
telligent people.
Resoleed, That we will vote for no man
for any Office, Legislative, executive and
judicial, who is not pronounced pro-
hibitionist, and who does not clearly
recognize the right of the whole people
of the state to be heard through the bal
lot box on this question.
ResoEDed. That self government is an in
herent and reliable right; that elf-govern
ment implies, the ballot, and inasmuch as
the woman of our country are subjects of
government, are taxed for its support, are
equally interested with men in the inaet-
ment of wholesome laws that win tend to
the general welfare, and are equally
capable as electors. therefore they ought
to be invested with the ballot.
