A Fighting Parson.

UNION CRY (Ps.), September 6sh.-Tbere
was great excitement last evening at the an
nounced intention of some unknown parties
to tar and feather Rev. II, III. Merrier, the
horss.trading clergyman, whose alleged inf
deity drove his wife Co insanity, and an at
tempt at suicide by cutting her throat
Flaming placards had given him tbs slterna-
tive Of leaving the place or taking q toilet of
tar and feathers. Upon reading the poster
the reverend gentleman supplied his domicile
with firearms and gave notice of the fact.
Last evening, after taking stroll, he went
home and prepared for the event. The
preachers nerve and the readiness of the
authorities kept the mob from materializing,
although the parson sat at his door all night,
armed to the teeth.

NEW YORK, September 6th.-Itis announced
in legsl circles thst John Jacob Astor has
decided all his property to his only son, Will.
lam Waldorf Asto-, now United States Min

nit the value of their immense estate to be
publicly known. Most of the property lies
between TweBty-third street and Fiftieth

Hill lies in the heart Of the family posses
sions, and blocks and blocks of houses here

1t is generally supposed that small
inventions have'nO value, but If we
require more closely into the history
Of the "trifles" that have been in
vented, very different conclusions
are arrived at. Thus, 1t is stated that
the stylographic pen yields to the
proprietor of the patent no less than
100000 annually. The same revenue
is said to be derived from the patent
for a pen for shading in various
cOlors. The inventor of the gummed
newspaper covers is now rich man.
The screw points at the end of lead
pencils have made the owners Of the
patent independent. The Abssinian
well is said to have yielded to the
original inventor, Col. Green, no less
than S3,OOO,OOO. The inventor Of the
roller skates is reported to have ac-
quired fortune Of $l,OOO,OOO. Even
ordinary tOys-fOr instance the re-
turning ball, with india-rubber string,
have returned from $50, 900 to S75, 200.
The toy called the "Cricri" brought
the Inventor in less than nine months
a sum of $l50,OO0.
, 1883-07-21

Existing railways cost 10000, ,OOO,-
900, and would reach eight times
around the globe. The first steam
railway was opened between Darling
ton and Stockton, September27, 1925,
and between Manchester and Liver
pool on September ID, 1880. 1t is
shown that in France, previous to the
existance Of railways, there was one
passenger in every 435, 600 killed, and
one out Of every 10000 wounded (;
whereas between 1885 and 1878 there
was but one in 5,I7S,8 $3.50 killed, and
one in $50, ,45O wounded, so that we
may infer that the tendency to ac-
cidents is diminished. Railway
travelling in England is attended
with greater risk than any other
country in Europe. A French statis-
tician observes that If a person were
to live continually in a railway car
riage and spend all his time in travel
ing, the chances Of his dying from a
railway accident would not occur
until he was 800 years old.

Last fall II. S. Myers, of this city,
fortunately struck a settler, who had
taken up claim on the Little SpO-
kane river, desirous Of selling out
and 20 invested in a ranch. He Sc
cured the proper documents from
the land office establishing his claim
on the property, and occasionally
visited it. In the winter he was
taken sick and was unable to look
after his claim until spring. Up to
the Monday after the 4th he fire.
quently visited the farm and worked
upon it, and was never troubled by
outside claimants, nor never saw any
Indians on the place: On the date
mentioned he drove out for the pur-
pose Of cutting the hay on the tract,
Of which there was considerable.
He had two men working for him,
and when in the midst Of the cutting
two Indians approached him and
claimed ownership to the land. Mr..
Myers told them that he had pur-
chased the property and was de-
termined to hold it. The Indians
walked off, and apparently went he
hind some underbrush where their
weapons were hid, for in few min
utes one Of them walked out, stripped
to the buff, lingering a Henry rifle
in such manner as threatened dan
ger to some one. He approached
Mr.. Myers and made him under
stand that there was an ounce of
metal stuffed in the breech Of the
gun that was anxious to get out and
hunt around in his CMyersO bulky
frame for a vital spot. While in this
demOnstrative attitude one Of the
men, moving grass near the bloody
minded madder-cOlOred native, drew
the ever-ready revolver and had the
drop so completely on the wOuld-be
land jumper that he was glad enough
to back out Of the scrape. Mr..

The most delicate pair Of scales in
the world has been made Of rye straw,
and together with the pans, which
are made Of aluminium, weighs only
fifteen grains. In the most delicate
scale heretofore made the beam and
pan weighed sixty-eight grains, the
beam being made Of aluminium, and
the instrument was capable Of weigh
ing to the l-lOOO Of Ia grain. This new
scale, however, weighs 1-1O 900 Of
grain. A piece Of hair one inch long,
on being weighed with this wonder
full apparatus, was found to represent
the almost infnitesmal quantity Of
ii 900 Of grain.
