the reputation of being one of the largest

ry department is complete, and presided
over by the best talent that liberal salaries
can procure. An idea of the extent of the es

Queer wild Ducks Caugh: Alive

Havre dc q race Republican.
During the storm of Wednesday John
Suter, while cunning near Watson Island
saw a pair of strange ducks on land and
went ashore to give them chase and one
of them catching its wing in tho bushes,
was easily captured. Its mate flew around
the island severa: times, but would not
stay away from its captured companion.
Coming closer to Mr.. Suter it was struck
with an oar and caught. The pair
were purchased by Mr.. w. A. Hill, of the
City hotel, for $40, who has them now
confined in an Outhouse. They are of a
dark bronze color, with slightly reddish
breasts, and when in the sunlight present
a beautiful appearance. These ducks have
been seen 10y visitors and sportsmcn from
Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York,
as well as our duckers generally, none Of
whom know their names or have ever seen
the kind before The pair will weigh six
teen or eighteen pounds.

GraysOn M'Ar;hut's Ride.

Licuic Hant MacArthur's tent was pitched
Down in the glen, n brook hard by;
when all of n sudden from twenty throats
Came up wild and dcalcnng cry
"rhr flood, the llood" were the awful words
That flied Mac Arthur with dire dismay,
For the flood bore down on this gallant tent
And Macarthur one hundred yards away.
Lieutenant Twclycs was as white as n sheet
And Captain Carpenter paled with fright,
'rhcrcs treasure rare in that tent" they cried
(which the food will bear forever from sight
And in vain they called on the god of war;
In vain they cursed the unhappy day;
The tent went down with the seclhing foam
Macarthur one hundred yards away.
MacArthcr knew what the moaning meant.
And he vautcd asridc OF burro's back;
"Oh, haste thee. birdic all into the food
To save my treasure from ruin and rack !"
These were the words the soldiers heard
The gallant chicr to the hurro say;
The tent went mcrrIly floating Of
hta. --.i--.- s,.'i .,'On,y ivct away.
Bold and erect he warrior sat,
with his pumcs anoat on the joyous wind.
The burro got bravcly down to his work
And his paint brush tail stood out behind.
Like Il dart they new, that burro staunch
And the warrior clad in his armor gray
The swimming tent gave lurch and norpcd-
Macarthur a dozen feet away.
The waters hisscd and The breakers roarcd
q As the tent Topped over on its side,
And lol to the warriors gaze appeared
The treasure aloat upon tho tide
ln-into the boiling surf he plunged,
lnto the foam and mist and spray;
The treasure carcencd and the burro braycd-
Mac Arthur couple of feet away.
Twas n glorious ride and the troops all cheorcd
As the warrior came from the swelling tidcl
The trcasure--his filed cautccn-he strapped,
with proud huzza, to his dripping side.
When hisiory's page is being flied
win deeds Of valor performed to-day,
Forget not the lurro, cantccn and tent,
Ahd Macarthur one hundred yards away

Why He Didn't Take IL.

Not long ago an old pioneer, who had
lived in Texas in the days of the early
colonists, was boasting Of the good old
times. "Why, sir" said he, 81 was
once offered a league of land for a pair
of old boots"
"Ddn't YOU take it?" said the party
he was talking to.
"No, sir; | didn't."
"No account land, | reckon?'
"Why, bless your heart, sir it was the
best piece of land outdoors. Grass five
feet high, clear stream OF water running
through it, and an undeveloped silver
mine in one corner"
"And why the deuce didn't You make
the tradc?n said the other.
"Bccause," said the old man, in sad
and rcgrelful tone of voice, "because l
i didn't have The boots"
