treasurer Polk Before the Investigating
Committee.

NASHVILLE, March 2-Ex-Treasurer Polk
appeared before the legislative investigating
committee to-day, to answer number of in
terrogatories as to what he did with the State
funds and how he did it. Polk claims that
tees publication of the experts report, and
says there was not an investigation of his
office from the time he took charge down to
April, 1881, that was not strictly correct and
true and as to those made after that date,
as the suits brought against him involve
them, he shall not speak. He says: What
ever of wrong has been done in the manage
ment of my office 1 am the responsible one
therefor, and l cherish the hope that sooner
or later if l have wronged the State l may
be able to repay it ALL"

gentle Annie" we trust that the representa-
tives of the metropolitan press who have
written the obituary of our city will come
and see u.s. The flood of 'S3 is the greatest
calamity that ever befel our city. 1t struck
staggering blow, but did not knock us en-
tirely off our foundation. The city is recov-
ering from the effects of the calamity slowly
but surely; the factories have steamed up
and the stove-works will take a heat on Sat
urday. The indomitable energy that has en-
abled our citizens to surmount all the OBJ
stacles of the past is again manifesting itself,
and soon we will be on the road to prosperi-
ty. True, scores of our citizens are down
hearted. and it is unreasonable to suppose
otherwise, but when everything is put to
right once more, and the sunshine of pros
perity and peace begins to shine on every
household, all this will be changed
Let us help one another, and ease if possible
the burdens that our neighbors are COM
PEELED to carry.

The Rocky Mountain Sheep.

The Rocky Mountain sheep inhabit
the lofty chain from which they derive
their name, from its northern termina-
ton in latitude t8 deg. to about latitude
4S deg. and perhaps farther south.
They also frequent the elevated and
cragged ridges with which the country
between the great mountain range and
the Pacific coast is intersected, but they
do not seem to have advanced farther
eastward than the declivity of the
Rocky Mountains, nor are they found
in any of the hilly tracts near Hudsons
Bay They collect in herds of from
thirty to forty young rams and females
herding together during the winter and
spring. Mr.. Drummond informs us
that the Rocky Mountain sheep eXhib-
tied the simplicity of character o re-
markable in the domestic species but
that where they had been often fired at
they were exceedingly wild, alarmed
their companions on the approach of
danger by Kissing noise, and scaled
the rocks with speed and agility that
ballled pursuit. Some naturalists have
suppo ed that this var ETY. of the sheep
family is substantially the same as the
Asiatic Argali but of diminished stat
ure. Others dissent from this opinion,
not only on account of its size but of q
difference in the curvature OF the horns.
Those who maintain it imagine that
some of the Argali originally passed
Behring's Strait on the ice to the Amer
ican continent.

mass OF fat formed upon the rump. di-
vided, as it were, into two hemispheres,
which take the form of hips. with a
little knob of tail in the middle. Some
of them have horns, but others do not.
Its covering is mixture of hair and
wool. Some of the breeds weigh as
much as 200 pounds, and the mass OF
fat formed on the rump varies from O
tenth to a fifth part of the entire weight.
In the neighborhood of Caucasus, the
hind quarters are salted as hams and
