A NUMBER of Swedish mill operatives, ar
rested at Concord and Suncook, N. H., for
debt, complained to the Swedish minister that
they were illegally held on charges of which
they were ignorant. The officers say that In
every case interpreters gave them full informa-
ton In regard to the charges. The traders
took this action because a large number OF the
Swedes had gone away, leaving unpaid ac-
counts, and II was feared that more were pre-
pairing to do the same thing.

Curious Effect of Cats Blood.

A gifted writer on a California pa
per at present marches proudly III the
van; waving aloft that copy of his
journal which describes the medical
experiment made in his vicinity of
lnfusing the blood Of living cats into
the veins of young man who was
far gone in consumption. The man
regained his bodily health. but his
mind became affected. He refused
to 90 to bed, saying he believed he
was being transformed into cat and
preferred to sleep on a rug before the
fire. At night, when not asleep, lie
would wander about the house.
jumping the garden fence until tired
out, when he would climb to the roof
and perch on the chimney. He sought
the society of ether cats and at inter-
walls would try to fight with them,
only succeeding however, in
soaring them away, when he
would retire to the house until
rested. He manifested the creates
terror of broom handles and boot
Jacks, and at last his mania so grew
on him that he was confined until
examined for commitment to the
asylum. During the examination
he showed a wonderful propensity
for jumping, several times running
on all fours and springing over the
doctors. Once he jumped through
the window, taking the sash with
him, and until he was put in a strait
Jacket could not be kept still. All
the time of his antics he kept up an
ear-piercing mewing. and at the
sight of dogs became frantic. OF
course this incident is sworn to by a
lot of "reliable citizens"

The Presidential Partv.

CAMP IsHAM, Gros Ventres river.
Wyo., Aug. 1S.-The President and
party left Camp Lincoln this morn
ing at 6:3O and continued their course
down the tributaries of the Gros
Ventre and the main stream. a dis
tance OF 10 miles going into camp at
grassy point on the main river,
which has been named Camp Isham
IN honor of Hon. Edward S. Isham,
of Chicago. Camp Lincoln was a
beautiful spot presenting to the eye,
towards the east and north, all the
grandeur of the Shoshone range Of
snow clad mountains and to the west
and south the snow capped peaks of
the Gros Ventre range. Pines and
tamaracks cover the base and lower
lines OF the range, opening at inter-
yals into beautiful grassy parks. The
descent down the mountains to the
valley of the Gros Ventre is rugged
but was accomplished bv the Presi-
dent and party without accident.
They only had to dismount once and
then at steep and difficult place. AS
we approach Camp Isham a depres-
sion in the range enabled us to get
view of the lofty peaks of the Teton
range, at the base of which we are
encamped. Secretary Lincoln and
Captain Clark, with two Indian
scouts started early this morning af-
ter elk. They will no doubt render
good account by bringing in the re-
suits of a fine days hunt in a country
which abounds in game. The Presi
dent and balance of the party, by
reason of both the exercise and rest
which this trip has given them, are
i'll excellent health and spirits and
are not in the least fatiguei by their
ride on horseback. The weather is
cool and the air delicious and invig-
Grating and the scenery grand.

The Unknown Dead.

The dead body of an unknown
man was found in the mountains
about three miles from Pierse's Sta
ton last Friday. The condition of
the body indicated that the man had
been dead about three months. The
right temple bone was crushed in,
apparently by stone which was
found near by, stained with blood
and hair corresponding to that of the
corpse adhering to it. He was man
of medium hight, with dark brown
hair and whiskers, the latter sparse
ly scattered over his face, and aged
about thirty years. An inquest was
held by Coroner Sarchet, but no clue
was obtained to the mans identity or
the cause of his death. The body
was buried near the spot where it
was found.

The CHICAGO Strikers.

CHICAGO, August 1S.-The unex--
pected movement by the striking
telegraphers of this city caused d
meeting to be held at Uhlichs' hall,
at which there were between 400 and
800 people. Master Workman Nor
ris received a telegram from John
Campbell declaring the strike TAIL
ure, and advising men to seek EN-
at first doubted the authenticity Of
the telegram but after talking with
Campbell over the Postal telegraph
wire he had become convinced that
word had been given. He declared
to the assemblage that he would not
endorse the advice of Campbell and
would not advise them to surrender.
They could do so if they chose but in
that case he would resign and have
nothing further to do with the
Brotherhood. The speaker asserted
that the west had shown no signs of
weakening but in the east, ON the
contrary, had not been displaying
the firmness which had been expect
ed of them. With the cooperation
of other large cities he believed the
contest could be prolonged to stage
where the company would have to
recognize their bill of rights. Tele-
grams from Cincinnati, Cleveland
and st. Louis were read alleging that
the strikers of those cities would not
recognize Campbell's circular. TIE
session Was brought to close at ILLS
o'clock by a rising vote to continue
the fight. Prior to this meeting two
or three Brotherhood men had ap-
piled and been given work at the Of
flee of the Western Union company.
CHICAGO. August 1S.-The strik-
ing telegraph operators kept applying
for work ut the office of the Western
Union in small squads up to one
o'clock, when the stampede occurred,
and from that time on till a late hour
in the afternoon the hallway leading
to the office Of Supt. Tubbs was
crowded. A number of those apply
ing were refused places for reasons
best known to the officials. Practi-
cally the entire working force of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company
was taken back intact.
About one hundred operators met
i'm Uhlich's Hall at two o'clock in
the afternoon, when the leaders
acknowlt dyed the cause lost and ad-
vised the men to seek work. The
Chicago office is now fully manned.

Reasoning Powers in thu Horse.

Not long since, says the american
Naturalist. q fine blOoded mare was
brought here from Kentucky and
placed in pasture, and the owner,
not expecting her to foal, took no
particular care Of her. A couple of
days ago she foaled while in the pas
ture aud surrounded by many other
horses, which made so much over
her difficulty that she, being fright
ened, ran, with her weakiing after
her. as best she could, in hopes to
shelter herself and offspring from the
torments OF the herd. In her excite
ment size made tor the Floyd, a
stream running through the pasture.
soma thirty yards in width, which
she plunged into and swan to the
other shore, the colt following, but
lacking strength, did not succeed in
leaving the stream, but with great
teracity of life clambered into some
willows which grew On shore, and
there remained, "apparently hang
ing on for dear life." The mother,
having discovered her error in get
ting the colt into such position,
either by "instincf' or a conclusion
of mind, at once started for help by
swimming across the stream, and at
full speed ran to the barnyard some
distance away, where some men
were at labor, and with furious
neighing and other actions, like mad
attracted the attention of the work
men, who, when they noticed her
particular desire that they should
follow her-by her showing great joy
when they did-went to the stream
and rescued the colt. The mare
showed them great kindness until
she had recovered her offspring, when
she became Instantly very vicious
and would not allow one of the res
cuers to approach her.

More About Yellow Fever.

WASHINGTON, August ls.-Major
Nicholson. in command of the U. S.
marine corps, tonight received the
following dispatch from Lieut. Tay-
lor, commanding a detachment of
marines at the Pensacola navy yard:
zone private died of yellow fever in
the hospital here to-day. One is very
sick. The command is in a new
brick building in the upper story,
which is cool and healthy. 1t is too
late to move the encampment, as the
attendant work and excitement
would perhaps develop new cases.
We are strictly quarantined. In ad-
d ton to Surgeon Martin, ordered
from New Orleans to Pensacola, the
employment of civilian surgeons has
been ordered by the Navy Depart
ment. 1t is understood that one
civil an surgeon, whose services were
sought, refused to accept an engage
ment for less time than u days at the
rate of $lOO per day. The telegraph
operator at the navy yard declined to
remain longer at his post unless COM
pensated at the rate of $40 per day,
and his terms were acceded to. If 1T
is necessary to have assistance for
DR.. Martin the demands of the civil
ian surgeon will also be conceded" :"

Animal Diseases.

LONDON, Aug. lin the Com
mons, Dodson. Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, stated that it
was an undoubted fact that the foot
and mouth disease had been carried
from England to America. He said
the Canadian cattle now suffering
with the disease at Bristol had been
in contact at Liverpool with infected
animals from ireland. He pointed
out, however, that the American
quarantine system in relation to cat.
tie disease gave no security against
the conveyance of the disease by men
attached to the quarantine stations,
and by articles taken out Of the quar-
antine.
