JOHN SPLAN, the driver, while giving
an account of his trip through the north-
west, thus relates an incident which Oc-
CURED at saltwater While there | was
introduced to the elder of the Younger
brothers, who are confined for life, with
whom / had very pleasant visit. He
said he was very fond of good horses, and
gave a minute description of number Of
fine ones he had himself owned. He was
greatly interested in my description of
Johnston, and thought he must be a won
der. He wished very much that he could
see him, whereupon | invited him to 90
to Minneapolis, and I would take great
pleasure in giving HIM q ride behind the
great PAGER. Younger thanked me for
my kind offer and said Mr.. Splan, my
business just now demands my personal
attention, and as have no one that can
trust to attend to my affairs in my alb
sence, shall be obliged to deny myself
the extreme pleasure ! should have in
accepting your very kind invitation, but
sincerely hope that at some future time
may be able to do so >"

THE English postoffice authorities haYe
introduced the tricycle. into the parcels
post service. Two of these machines,
each capable of carrying 200 pounds run
between Waterloo and Croydon, about
twelve miles, and between London Bridge
and Woolwich. Two journeys are per-
formed by each carrier in a day. For
merly the same work was performed by
a van and two horses, and the new sys-
TEN is, therefore, a considerable saving.
The postoflice tricylc consists of three
parts, semi circular dome for long par
GELS body for heavier goods and well
for lighter goods. Each portion is sepa>
rately locked. The whole is painted red,
and is marked with the letters V. r,
which means Victoria Regina or, Vic
toria reigns.

Church and state in Germany.

BERLIN, Dec An he'reichstag, Wednes-
day afternoon. Herr Windthorst the leader
of the Roman Catholic party, made
motion TO repeal the law relating to the pun
ishment of priests for exercising
their duties without having conformod
to the act OF the government in
relation thereto. Prince Bismarck
opposed the motion and said that the action
Of the Center party in the reichstag had i'm
peded the progress of the negotiations which
have been going on between Germany and
the vatican for some time for peaceful set
tlement of the difficulties between the
church of Rome and Germany, and which.
despite frussia's concessions, were still re
sultIe's. But, he added the government

THERE is nothing like cultivating a
spirit of philosophy. A New Jersey girl
married a man, but after living with him
for several months she discovered that he
had II wife already. When the denoue-
ment came, they broke the news to her
and told her that her husband had gone
off to drown himself. She accepted the
situation and calmly remarked: ut is a
good thing, too, for man who seems to
have habit of getting married" This.
on the whole, is better than to faint

les


EAU CLAIRE, Wis, FEB. 2G.-The log
gers in this part Of WISCONSIN continue
to prosecute their work vigorously in
fully two feet of thorou4hly-packed snow
over a most substantial foundation, The
season for work in the woods is rapidly
drawing to a close, and there are favor
able prospects that the log crop on the
Chippewa, Eau Claire, Black and st.
CrOiX will be much larger than calculated
at the commencement of the season
Moderate weather has not vet affected
the work in the least, and it is prospec-
tive that the season will be prolonged
later than usual by reason of the heavy
accumulations of snow Latest estimates
place the Chippewa VALLEY cut Of logs at
400, 900, 900 feet, which, with continual
ton OF favorable weather, viii be in
creased 200;000,000 more. Very good
reports are received CO the condition
OF numbering affairs IN the Black
River, and it is believed the cut on that
river and tributaries will reach fully
POO, 100000 which is more than was in
tended. The restoration of old rates on
the railroads 10 points westward will
have tendency TO increase activity In
the yards here, which has commenced
to brighten up. Shipments from the
Eau Claire yards amount TO 100 car
loads per week, the greater portion con-
signed to points west Of Omaha.
