Barbel Wire.

4 Western paper says that the
mission of barbed wire on earth
seems to be to create trouble, and
that in many Of the States barbed
wire is monopolising the attention
of the courts and lawyers, and down
in Texas is killing off cowboys and
peace officers all over the prairies;
and that men will 60 to law or kill
each other more cheerfully to sus-
tain their views on barbed wire
than for almost anything else, poll
tics not excepted; and yet the Pat
ent Office keeps grinding out pat
ents for barbed wire, to the dis
tress and confusion of the whole
country. Amy one who has seen
that vast pile of wire on the plat
form of the freight depot would
naturally conclude a great deal of
trouble was in store for the people
in this section Of the country; but
E. B. Rail, says there is nothing in
the above assertion; nevertheless,
taking all things in consideration,
he shall make it point to dispose
of the whole lot as soon as it is
possible to do so, and then-order
a new shipment.

Why isItf

Can any one tell why a storm or
some other cussedness always hap
pens just at time when a person
would give anything to get tele-
graphic news? To-day big storm
has been raging in Western Nevada
and the lightning has been inter-
fering very much with the wires so
that it was difficult to read the mes
sages. Mr.. Vincent managed by
close attention to get what we pub
fish to-day, but just as We got to the
very best part Of the news the
whole thing stopped and here we
are. A good first-class, sulphurous,
seven-jo;nted cusser, who can swear
in ten languages, can find job at
this Office.

nArLEY,s MULE.

ages.

How an Old Darkey Rated DAN
There is an eccentric old negr,
| at Lake Tahoe by the name O
Bailey, who is noted principal,
for the low diet upon which he ca,
keep horse or mule and still com
pei the animal to live. One Cal
tell when a string of Bailey's mule.
passes a cabin in the night, as the
bones rattle so that they can be
identified half a mile away. They
are simply a string of skeletons
dragging their skins along and look
like lot of old hat racks with ia.
ble-cloths thrown over them.
Some years ago Baily came to
Mr.. Bliss, of the Flume Company,
and wanted to buy a mule.
Bliss wanted $50 spot cash as the
price of the mule, and Baily said he
would bring the money Saturday
when he sold his wood. Saturday
passed and no Bailey, and Bliss
gave up all idea of getting the
money for the mule.
He saw him frequently, however,
and week after week passed the
we'll rounded mule sank away until
he was simply an old anatomical
museum advertisement, through
which the sun sent its binding
glare on pleasant clear days. Ev-
cry day Bliss expected the poor old
animal would die, and not exactly
from want of breath, as the wind
whistled through him ever time the
air stirred.
One day Bailey stopped his mule
with heavy load on one of the
bridges which crosses the flume on
the Clear creek road, and presently
a lot of timber came down and
jumped the 1ume with tremen-
dous head of water. A stick of
timber struck the mule under the
ear and he reeled off the bridge
square into the fume, his legs point
ing upwards. To slide down to the
next wood jam by Vars cabin was
The work of a few seconds, and then
The old hulk went to pieces in the
Jam as cord after cord of wood
zane down and cayed his ribs in.
The next day old Bailey called
IN Bliss with a stern look on his
ace.
"Massa Bliss, youse killed my
mule, sab, and / comes to We for de

How's that?"
Dat old fume, sab, jam de life !

Big Money.

Ottawa, January 31.-Resoluticns
were submitted by the government to
parliament authorizing the loan by the
government to the Canadian Pacific
Railway company of S22, SOC, 600. Cash
payable in 1891, at 8 per cent. interest.
In the meantime 81, 500, 900 of this is
to be advanced Immediately and the
balance as the work on the railroad
proceeds. This is in addition to the
balance of S25, 900, 600 cash subsidy
granted by the original charter, this
balance now amounting to S12, 600, 600,
and to be also paid as the railroad is
built. The government, while making
the advance Of S22, 500, 600, has first
charge on The whole railway, but the
amount advanced, together with the
balance of cash subsidy due, will
enable the company to complete Its
whole line to the Pacific Ocean and
obviates the necessity of issuing any
more capital stocks or bonds.

United States vs.. Western Union.

Washington, January 81 DIR. Nor
Union Telegraph company, addressed
the senate committee on postofices aud
post roads In opposition to the proposed
government control of the telegraph.
He said that unless there was some
thing defective In the service rendered,
there seemed no reason why the govern
ment should take hold of the telegraph.
He maintained that we had telegraph
facilities in larger proportion to popu-
~lation, and a better and cheaper serv-
ice, than any country In Europe. He
explained the cheaper rates Of Europe
by saying that there a message was
counted once in every country through
which it passed, while In this country
1t was counted but once.
A senator thought the statement an
extraordinary one, and referred TO the
rate In France as being only twenty
cents for twenty words within the linn
its of that country, and an average Of
one-half cent within other European
countries. He cited the rates from
France to Algiers, 1000 miles, which
were only twenty cents for twenty
words.
Green replied that the Alsiers line
was operated at a loss. No company
could send twenty words for twenty
cents without loss. A new tariff was
in process Of preparation, to go into
effect March l, giving a maximum
rate of n dollar, for which sum
message could be sent 1850 miles, from
Halifax to Washington territory. He
could furnish the committee a copy Of
the contract with the associated press

Vienna, January 31.-The president
of the council and minister OF the in
terror sent a letter to the lower house
at Reichstath, explaining the eItraor-
binary measures taken In consequence
OF the recent crimes. the present means
being insufficient to suppress them.
Yesterday afternoon the attendants at
the Court opera heard strage noises In
the opera house nea the emperor's
box. 1t was quite dark, but they
thought they saw a man In the house
and Immediately lighted the gas. The
police and attendants finally discovered
a stranger in the toilet chamber ad-
joining the imperial box. He had
barred the door and would not let any
body in, but after a short struggle was
arrested. He said the previous nights
performance was 30 dull that he had
fallen asleep and when he awoke, found
himself locked in the box. Mathemat-
ical Instruments, tape measures, wires,
etc, were found on his person. He is
in with the engineers of Bavaria. The
police pretend to have evidence to
show that he was accommodating in
connection with a plot to as~sassinate
the kaiser. The opera house is now
strongly guarded by soldiers and police,
and there IL much excitement.

The Social Question at Issue

Paris, January 31.-Clemenceau, re.
plying to Ferry, said that crushing
taxes and high rents caused the suffer-
ings of the workingmen, and the only
remedy was an alliance between work
ingnen in all counties, reduction in
freight rates and the development OF
public instruction, and liberty. Glenn
encean attacked the feudalism, and
maintained that the state ought to pro-
tect the workingmen. He said the So
cial question would be n of the Is
sues raised at the next election. He
would like TO see expenditures dimin.
Shed and taxes on articles of consump-
tion replaced by income tax. The
time for words had passed, the
hour for action had arrived. Reforms
could be effected only by agreement be-
tween all republican parties. Further
discussion on the subject was postpon-
ed until Saturday.
The new loan will amount to IS, 600,
600 francs. Measures will be taken tc
prevent Fictitious subscriptions. Large
financial firms will be allowed to sub.
scribe, but will not be allowed to pre-,
sent a list of nominal subscribers. Tht
budget for 1885 will exceed that for
1884 by $50, QUO, 900 francs. The min.
istry are endeavoring to ascertain
what reductions are possible.
