The following from the Fargo Re
publican, relative to the Dakota grass
is full of truth. 1t is positively assert
ed that there is as much nutrlment in
the dried-up grass OF Dakota in Novem-
Der and December, rs there is in the
cured hay of the states: lone great
element of Dakota wealth is in Dakota
grass. Millions of tons of delicious hay
are allowed to waste because there are
not enough cattle and horses and sheep
to transform it into muscle and bone.
One conld cut and cure thousands of
tons at dollar or less per ton. Its
richness cannot be described. 1t has
more nutriment than any timothy or
clover with corn and bran thrown in.
The net profit of stock raising in Dako-
tn, including the losses of two years
ago is more than forty per cent. Horses
are hardy and strong, cattle sleek and
fat and sheep do splendidly. Bring in
your live stock, and our word for it, 1t
! will pay YOU"

Hannibal Hamlin's "reminiscences

Cath George Alfred Townsend) has been
visiting Maine and writes to the New York Tri-
bune: AN offer was not long ago made to
Hannibal liamn of fifty dollars per column to

King, of Maine, who organized that State, had
much Of Web>ters intellectual strength. He re-

Cats as Projectiles.

Fishing tackle which is costly does not
on that account necessarily catch fish.
Sometimes a raw-looking country lad,
with hook and line made fast to d stick
cut from tree, will bring in all the fish
he wants, while the dainty tourist with
split bamboo rod and silverplatcd reel
will have to buy Of the lad or else 90
home without fish. SO it is with locks
and bolts and appliances for keeping out
burglars. There are some houses which
bristle with electrical hardware and other
contrivances which might reasonably be
supposed to keep burglars out, but into
which the burglars manage to effect en-
trance. Tubs of water and coal scuttles
promiscuously set in likely places on
stalrWays and in passages, have some
times proved more effective discourage
ments to midnight prowlers than all the
devices of locksmth and electrician.
Yet, simple as are these obstacles to bur
glarous progress, there are things which
even to higher degree combine simplc-
lty with effectiveness. Jersey City, am
pie III its Resources of invention for uti-
lZlng cats, comes to the front with the
most positive preventive OF burglary yet
offered. The eat is shown to be the great
engine OF confusion to burglars. a wick
ed man entered the house Of lone wild
ow to steal and to destroy. There was
no male being in the house with the eX-
ception of the widows pet Thomas eat
RashIy the wicked intruder mounted the
stairway, Lighting match as he ascend
ed The widow was awaiting him, for
she had heard his footsteps. She was
armed with the cat, her beloved combin-
alton Of offensive and defensive weapon.
Taking advantage Of the light afforded
by the striking Of the burglars match,
she uttered a word of encouragement to
! her pet and let him fly full in the intru-
der's face. There was scratching; there
was tearing; there was flight and there
was swearing as the dscomtitcd seeker
after other peoples goods beat a hasty
retreat. The cat clung to him, digging
teeth and nails into his flesh by way of
speeding him on his way. Never was
burglar more astOunded. A bullet or a
whole volley Of bullets may easily enough
be understood. But this terrible new
engine OF warfare was more than the bur
glar had been ready to expect Cat and
man went off in company and at the last
accounts had not been heard from TO
make the eat a handy means Of repelling
burglars an apparatus like a spring gun
should be kept in the house, constructed
much as those are from which circus per
formers are fired out at the audience.
Such thing could, at moments notice,
be loaded with one or more cats, which
could be discharged with disastrous effect
on ntruders. The time may come when
no house will be considered as properly
furnished without such contrivance.

Perjury in the District of Columbia

In the Criminal Court, in his closing address
in the Creek murder case, United States Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill made the following
remarks: | cannot allow this occasion to pass
without calling attention to the remarkable
exhibition of want of character of the wit
nesses both for the government and defence.
In this case and one tried IL few weeks ago of IL
similar character. almost one hundred witness
es have been examined and so much perjury
and utter disregard of obligations of an oath /
never saw in a court of Justice. 1t suggests to
me that those worthy an benevolent gentle
men and ladies who are soliciting money and
devotlnS their time to reform and christianize
hcathens from Greenland to Africa can find
work closer home, here at their own Capitol.
If these 1000 people represent the neighborhood
in which they live under the very dome of this
temple of justice, and within sound of the
church calls, there is field ripe for harvest,
and as worthy of labor, as fully demanding
their attention as can be found on the sands of
Africa on the shores of Abyssina.

Charles Backus, the minstrel perform

dotes are told of him. At one time, when
Ad. Weaver, another minstrel. stopped
him on the street, t1OulEShed his fists in
his face, and threatcnihgly demanded if
he had made an Objectionable comment
about him, Backus Looked around ard
seeing that his lield of escape was open,
said YES" and then ran off. "This, I"
he was wont to say 'was good demon
stratlon of the superiority Of brain over
mere brute strength"

one day and said: II have no control

him around to see the sights. Take him
to Boston and lead him to that cradle of

Mr.. Backus heard that gentleman,

searching for him to shob BIT him. He sent
him this message:

An insurance agent visited him and
said:
"Mr. Backus, | would like to insure

Mr.. Backus said he was willing to have
his wardrobe insured, and took the agent
to see it. 1t consisted of several wigs,
some cotton aprons and trousers, and
some stumps of burnt co rk.
On one of his periodical visits to Roch-
ester, n. Y, Mr.. Backu was invited to

The editor of the American Poultry
Yard says that the larger breeds of fowls,
such as the Brahmas or Cochins, make
very fine eating when nearly full grown,
if they have been fed properly. If half
grown, immature birds are desired for the
table, then chose breeds above named
will not furnish them nearly as we'll as
will such breeds as the Leghorns, games
and others Of q like ilk. The reason for
this is obvious. The Brahmas are much
longer in maturing, while the games and
all the small or medium sized breeds are
sooner developed. They teatherup quick
ly and acquire the much desired round
ness and plumpness sooner and easier
than do any Of the larger breeds. This
is especially SO with the pullets, though
the same rule applies to cockerels, which
latter require maturity mot necessarily
age) TO make them really fine eating.

A hcarrcndng accident occurred at Ansonia,
Conn, recently whereby John Murphy. 5}
years old, sacrificed his life to save two of his
children. Mr.. Murphy took two Of his little
ones-a boy and ii girl-out for Il walk, re-
marking to the others that they would be back
soon. He took along with him flute on
which he sometimes played when on similar
trips with his family in the woods. They
walked up the tracks of the Naugatuck rail
road. A short distance above the house the
track passes over stream at point where IL
cascade makes Il loud enough noise to drown
that made by an approaching train. just
beyond, the road turns sharply. 1t was here
that the milk train, bound for Bridgeport, came
suddenly upon the party in Il moment. The
father of the children, quick AS lightning,
caught up the little girl and threw her down
the embankment on the right side of the track.
Then he seized the boy and hurled him down
the other side. 1t was too late for him to save
himself. The engine struck him and threw
him against Il telegraph pole. One leg was
cut completely off, and his ribs on the left side
were driven through his heart and lungs. He
died in II few moments. The children We're
overcome by fright and unable. to move 1t
was at first supposed they had been killed also,
but upon examination it was found they We're
only slightly bruised. Mrs. Murphy was
rendered almost crazy with grief by the acc-
dent.

A statement has bee b made by the
juror Horrigan which shows that he
thinks that money was used in corrupt
ing the star route jury. Horrigan was
the last juror to vote tof acquittal. He
is quoted as saying that, since the YER
dict, he has been told 10y a friend of one
of the defendants that he could have
made two thousand dolld drs if he had not
been so hard to approach, and Horrigan
remarks that it is curious that one of the
jurors who is day laborfr, not supposed
to have any money, has commenced to
build himself house, while others have
money enough to take trips to the water
ing places. If corruption could be prov
ed it would not benefit the Government.
