OF the Territorial Capital.
FARGO, Dakota, June 1.-The territorial
capital commissioners late on Saturday after
noon finally, on the ninth ballot, selected the
city of Bismarck for the location OF the flu
ture capital of the territory. The ballots dur
ing the daJ stood, For Bismarck, 2; for Pierre,
2; for Redhald, 8 for Huron, l; for Mitchell,
l. Tha last ballot stood: For Bismarck, 5;
Redfield ?, Huron /, Mitchell l. This gave
Bismarck majority OF one and the motion
to make the choice unanimous was then car
ried without dissenting voice.
The result was received with cheer and
gives more general satisfaction than probably
any other would have given, especially III
North Dakota, The South Dakoiians now
declare they will at once renew the movement
for division of the territory, and it is also
expected that Nanlton will test in the courts
the legality of the removal of the capital from
that city iii the manner proposed.
BISMARCK, Oak, Ter, June 3.-The grounds
selected for the capital Of Dakota comprise
800 acres lying half mile north of the court
house in Bismarck, and are very attractive
ying $50 to 800 feet above the Missouri river
| overlooking the city and surrounding country
| for many miles. Bismarck's bid of S1000O(
cash was accompanied by a guarantee Of re
| sponSible citizens that 100 acres OF this tract

shot-Gun missionaries for MormoDs

CHARLOTTE, N c., June 4.-The progress
of MoT1nonisn in North Carolina is causing
much alarm. In the rural districts remote
from towns missionaries are at work Sc
ducing the ignorant into their meshes
There is band of seventeen Nor
mon missionaries scattered around this Sec
ton, who keep up no public intercourse, but
meet quietly and compare notes of progress
and give each other points. If they find at
home women whose weakness they think
they can impose upon they will strike up a
conversation and gradually turn it into the
channel they want. They appoint a meeting
in the neiShborhood, inviting only those
whom they think viii Ike easy subjects of con
version. Once in the meetings morbid feel
ing and curiosity lead them on until
the work is done The heading paper of the
state says ON this subject: 1t Is a shame to
our civilization that such things are permit
tel in our midst ana missionaries are needed.

4. Autograph of Lincoln.

An interesting incident, developing
further the peculiar characteristics OF
the late President Abraham Lincoln
was brought to light in the Adjutant
Generals Office, War Department, sew
eral days ago. 1t appears that during
the late war a drummer-boy. who had
enlisted in an Illinois regiment, was
taken i'll during service, and had to be
sent home. Owing TO various compli-
cations he could not secure a surgeon
discharge for disability. His case being
serious and his discharge necessary, his
mother applied by letter to President
Lincoln for the desired relief. Mr..
Lincoln at once indorsed the letter
.'Discharge this boy; A. Lincolnr-
and returned it to the mother, and hel
son was shortly afterwards discharged.
Since the war the drummer has died,
and lately his mother applied for pen
sion. The papers were forwarded t.
the Adjutant Generals Office, and thcr
was a mighty effort among clerks anC
officials to secure the Endorsement in
Mr. Lincoln's own hand writing as O
souvenir, the idea being to substitute il
with '.true copy The resc-Eunter-
were baffied, however, anil the papers
according to law, will be preserved in
tact. - WASHINGTON Post.

ToEoNTo. Canada, June A fenian plot
to blow up the Welland ship canal here has
Just been uneaIthed
For weeks past the authorities in Canada
have been on the qui vive for an attack III
some part of the dominion by Fcnians,
prompted by revenge for the action taken by
the imperial authorities in the Irish murder
trials. and now plot has been unearthed by
which an attempt was to be made to blow up
the Welland canal, connecting lakes Ontario
and Huron.
On the 12th of May, the day before the
hanging of Joe Brady, one of the Phoenix
park murllereIS fifteen Suspicious-loo
men, each carrying a valise, left the train at
Niagara and proceeded to Welland, little
village on the canal. They held a secret meet
ing, at which, it has since been ascertained,
they determined to blow up the canal the day
Brady was executed. Before making further
preparations they found that the authorities
had prepared for them by placing armed SEN
tries along the canal for twenty-six miles, a
quarter of mile apart Finding themselves
Swallowed by detectives, they Immediately left
for Buffalo, from which place, tits supposed,
they first came.
III the plot to blow up the canal had been
contaminated, no doubt the whole water way
would have been destroyed, the connection
between the lakes cut off, and miles of country
inundated
The government first received word ON the
10th of last month privately from some source
in Buffalo, ard the canal has been guarded
ever since E.
Great excitement prevails here about the
matter Some such plot has been looked fol
some time past, and it was deemed necessary
to have an extra force OF police at Ottawa
during the session of parliament.

PARNELL AND LEO.
The Great Irish Header Makes an OF,
fi1Ial UtteTance Concerning
tho Pope's Circular.

LONDON, Iuue 4-Mr Parnell has al rist
made an official uttelanre, in the form of an
open letter to u Paris journalist, concerning
the pape's circular He announces that ne
is pleased with it because of the
effect it viii certainly have upon the
fortunes Of the real Irish party. The
breach the papal circular has already
caused among the papers which affected to
represent the Irish cause, MIR Patno!l says fe
regards with delight because it will place tho
Catholic religion just where it belongs in the
politics Of Ireland. Some Of the tIuest Re-
publicans in Ireland have felt themselves
compelled to conceal their sympathy
with the Irish party and to hold ,aloaf from
all participation in its movements. be-
cause of general impression that Ireland
general Irish political movement could ever
occur, except it were dominated by the church
Now that the pope had officially declared that
the church did not recognize the Irish party,
but forbade its priests To make
themselves conspicuous in It's ac-
tions the Irish people could realize how COM
pletey Irish politics were divorced from re
figious domination and Catholic and Protest
ant Republicans could work together in com
plete harmony Mr.. Parnell comedies that
the pope's action may have been astute
from q Roman point Of view, but claims
that Leo ILL., overreached himself if
he intended to give to England the influence
of the Catholic church in Ireland, because the
principal effect of his recent circular would be
| among Irish Catholics a conviction
that in politics they were absolutely
| independent of the church, and among
Professionals a conviction that they can act
with the Republicans without subjecting
themselves to the domination of Rome. Mr..
ParnelTs letter concludes with the statement
that while the majority of the Irish people
may be submissive In matters OF faith TO the
pope, in matters of politics and nationality
| they respect themselves.

of affairs existing it is feared that contest
cannot readily be avoided, unless there is an
entire change in the present programme.
Snch being the case, the question is being
nlietly discussed by a number of prominent
Republicans, and the movement promises to
assume such proportions before the day OF
the convention that it will result i'll the
nomination of Senator Sherman for gov
ernor. 1t has been stated that Mr. Sherman
would not accept, yet one of the most
prominent of Ohio Republicans says with EN-
phasis: mfr John Sherman has been honor
ed for the last thirty years by the Republican
party and he coull not afford to dedline the
nomination, and be would not. The great
interest manifested throughout the country in
Ohio is such that il is deemed wise, owing to
existing circumstances, to insist on the noml
nation of Mr. Sherman, thereby avoiding all
contest in the convention, and giving a ma
tional prominence to the campaign. SHOULD
this be done, as it is now believed that it will
be- the nomination of ex-senator Thurman
by the Democrats would be a foregone con
clusion.

Profits and Losses Of Poultry.

Writers ON poultry differ about which
is the best breed of fowls to keep. One
has an ''ax to grind others are influ-
enced by their likes and dislikes. What
wonder, then, that farmers and nOyices
in the poultry business are ut loss to
know which breed is best adapted to
their wants? Extravagant and often
misleading statements about this or that
breed, or strain, frequently appear in
our poultry and agricultural journals,
and by referring to the advertising col
umns, OftentimeS, a reason Tor these ar
ticles may be found. Seldom does a
season pass but that l. see, hear, or read
of the same old story-of eggs failing to
hatch, fowls not answering description
given of them. or not being up to regul-
alton points of the breed, and these
are all sold at high prices by some not
over scupulous breeder or dealer. There
are honest dealers who take every pains
to deal fairly with their customers, and
they find their reward in it by the APP
probation of their patrons and a ready
sale of surplus stock and eggs at remun-
erative prices.
Poultry raising to be profitable, re-
quires a thorough knowledge of, and
adaptedness to, the business on the part
of the keeper He should be located
within easy distance of some city or
good market, near railroad station if
transportation is necessary. He should
select such breed or breeds as his taste
and other circumstances will warrant.
He should provide good. comfortable
houses, with runs adapted to the object
in keeping, bearing in mind that eggs
for producing chickens are very much
better where the hens have free run
and plenty of cocks (say one to ten) for
breeding hens. For market and num-
bers Of eggs, limited confinement with
out cocks is preferable The two fore
going essentials provided, he should
feed his fowls regularly three times a
day, varying the food as much as posi-
| BILE at the three feeds. Soft food, hot or
cold, as the weather may be, should be
given in the morning. This may be

BooT ON THE OTHER LEG.

A decision has just been rendered by jus
tice Robinson, of the court of appeals Of Ma
ryland A train on the Baltimore g. Ohio
road was making its regular trip between An
napol;s and Annapolis Junction, and was
thrown from the track and greatly damaged
from collision with the defendants OK,
which was at the time on the Baltimore s.
Ohio track through the negligence of its
owner The Baltimore & 0hios people
sued the owne.' of the OK for damages result
ing from collision with stock trespassing on
their road. Judge Robinson held that the
fact that the OK was- upon the track, aud
there through the defendants negligence, and
the engine and ears were thrown OF the track
by the collision showed the injury was the
direct result ofsuch negligence, hence the de-
PENDANT was ekaarlv liable
