Yorrapin.

The best terrapin found in the world
the only kind the real epicurean will
have-are caught right at the mouth of
the Potomac, and nowhere else. These
bring the highest price in the market,
and the taste Of ore delights the heart
Of good eater. They are very scarce
and hard to get, though. They are
caught one at time, and the oyster
boats bring to the market sometimes two
dozen, sometimes only adozen, or half o
dozen, or even only one single terrapin.
They are wilder and harder to get in
the summer. They are caught then
only by fishermen while seining for fish.
Every time they get one it is prize,
and they put him in pound until they
get more. In the fall they are fat and
are easier to catch. In September they
stop feeding and sink into the mud.
The fishers then rake for them with
tongs, digging deep into the bottom Of
the river and along the shore for them.
At this time they are tat, and stay SO all
winter il they are not disturbed. But If
they get frightened out of their beds,
and crawl about much, they scratch
their bellies, which worrier them, and
makes them thin.

4 Handy Boy.

Bismarck Tribune: Mr.. White, who
lives on the reservation south Of the
city, was startled Sunday morning by
finding the corpse of q man on the
sand hills about fifteen miles south Of
the city. On investigation it was found
that on Friday last, while Treasurer
Anderson, of the school district in that
locality, was in the city, he drew $500
for the construction of q school building
and deposited it in one of the banks Of
that city. While away from his home,
where he left his wife and little boy,
two men of suspicious appearance
called at the house and demanded en-
trance, which was refused by Mrs.
Anderson. The door was
closed and = locked, but
the intruders succeeded in prying it
partly open; and, pointing revolvers in
the opening, said they had come for
what money there was in the house,
and requested that it be handed over.
The little son, with commendable pluck,
grabbed the shotgun, which was loaded,
and, discharged its contents into the
right breast and shoulder Of ono Of
the robbers, and was about to give the
other vagrant . dose Of lead, when his
mother prevented him. The wounded
man fell into the arms of his -chum,
who made his escape without ceremony,
taking the lead -burdened comrade with
him. Il il believed that the body found

South African Di..oad..

The latest news from the Diamond
Fields of South Africa gives q dresry
picture OF the state of business matters
there. The vicissitudes of fortune
caused by the collapse Of the mines are
as remarkable a. any often heard of in
connection with those who have hasted
to he rich through mining speculations.
A correspondent, writing from Kimber.
ley. says he met man the day before
who had the offer two years ago Of
f28O, 900 for his interests in one claim
and refused it. Now he is without twen.
ty shillings to his name. Another who
could have got 970, 600 for his interest
now keeps butchers shop. The pre-
sent depression has killed dozens one
way and another, and not few have
broken down in health and gone az the
fields-too glad that thsy had means
sufficient lett to enable them 90 to Do.

Utter Collapse Of Tom 3iohols.
Z Col W. c. Lembert Of Cleveland has Just
concluded his report Of the condition Of the syn
dicate Of whose affairs Thomas u. Nichol, Gen.
Garfield friend, was in charge. The syndi-
cato includsd Gov. Foster, Keifer, senator War
ner Miller Of New York, senator Plumb Of Kan
sas and otherA Tho object Of tho enterprise
was to develop certain coal lands in Missouri
and to sell corner lots in new town there,
named Walnut The members Of the syndi-
cate contributed s3O0,0OO, and Nichol was m
trusted with the management Of operations.
After spending five weeks in trying to
untangle affairs, Lambert reports that,
in tho expenditure Of money to
which Nichols wealthybackers had contributed
their tSOo, 900, not single entry on the way Of
bookkeeping had been made. He had persist
antly refused to go into any explanation Of his
expenditures when demanded Of him. Col
Lembert reports, further, that tho total amount
unaccounted for by Nichol is s155, 900, part
Of which has been recovered by the syndicate.
There were also town lots sold by Nichol to the
amount Of el05, GOO OF all these sales not q

John Sherman On the Panic.
Senator Sherman was interviewed in Phils-
delphia and said:
We are neither in panic nor on the verge Of
it unless my Judgment is seriously at fault
The country is not in anything like the con-
dition in which it was in '73 when the financial
crash of that year came. Our financial status
= entirely different The present troubles arc
the creation Of fictitious values in stocks and
the sharp competition in railrosd securities are
the causes Of the existing dificulties It ise ex-
tremely easy to create distrust In money circles
when there has been such . huctuating market
- In New York for several months past look
upon the present troubles as simply the result
or overtrading in securities that for . long
time have been merely the football Of Wall
street. While there is some depression, there
is no real financial distress, and the resources
OF the country are ample and stable. It is not
difficult to find . remedy for the present evils,
il the people would refrain from dealing in se.
curities or products which they do not hold or
control
"Will the present furry have any serious ef-
II think not II may have very beneficial
one. 1t viii make the people more cautious in
placing money in risky ventures and turn their
attention more to legitimate business enterpris-
ca Troubles Of this kind are simply an ad-
m0nition to those who have surplus means to
remember that all successful fiscal operations
must have solid foundation"

upon the head, indicating that
he had been struck with some instru-
ment, although his skull was not brok-
en-. Thomas had acted strangely since
the disappearance of Cuttings, but
seemed in no hurry to leave. Some re-
marks he made tend very strongly to
fasten the guilt upon him. On one oc-
cassion, when he was asked what lie
thought had become Of Cuttings, lie
stated, "You may find the damned cuss
in the river" II was on the 10th inst.
that Thomas left with his family for Ar
kansas. The verdict of the coroner's
Jury Was -
That Cuttings came to his death by
violent means, and believed to be mur-
dered by some person to the jury un-
known; but from the testimony suspi-
lsiOn rested strongly upon said James
3. Thomas.
Coroner Reed at once issued war

from the stable of the Scllurmeier Wag-

by John Evans, their agent, who was
absent from the city, persisted, and
about two hundred bushels of seed
wheat and oats were destroyed. Great
indignation prevails at these raids of
evil doers, and if they are caught it will
GO hard with them.
