citizens would initiate Mr.. Knapp's
example in introducing the friends
who may come to visit them. Show
them the town as if you WE'RE proud of
it. Get them acquainted with the busi-
ness men and they will feel at home and
feel more like coming here to stay. A
little courtesy don't cost much and is
always a paying investment.

SwOrdsmen OF the Deep.

Imagine whales fencing with one
another for amusement!
1t seems as if such thing could not
be: and yet there are whales TO cer-
tain species which not only fence with
one another, but use their teeth for
swords.
1t is the narwhal that fences. One
of the teeth of tho male narwhal al
ways grows through the upper lip and
stands out like n spear, straight in
front of the animal.
1t seems rs if all the material that
should have gone to fill the narwhal's
mouth with teeth had gone to the one
tooth that grows out through the lip;
for sometimes this tooth is eight feet long
The animal itself, from head to tail, is
seldom more than sixteen feet in length.
OF what use such an enormous tooth is
persons say it is used for spearing fish
others, that its use is to stir up the mud
in the bottom of the ocean in order to
scare out the fish that may be hiding
there; and one man says the tooth is
for the purpose of breaking holes in the
ice in winter; for sthe narwhal, like all
whales. is obliged to come to the sur,
face at intervals to breathe.
Whatever the tooth is intended to be
used for, it is certain that when the mar
whal wishes to play it finds anothe,
narwhal of like mind, and away the,
charge ut each other till the long tooth
swords clash together.
They are active rs well as frolicsome
and sailors tell Of seeing them crossing
swords in this way, thrust;ng and par
rying, and rolling and darling abou
with marvellous agility and grace.
The narwhal is light gray in color
and covered with black spots. For
great many reasons it is valued by tn,
Greenlanders. 1t furnishes yer,
fine quality OF oil, its flesh is used fol
food, and its skin, made into a jelly
and called mdttak, is considered dain
ty too choice for ordinary occasions
| This"swordsman of the deep, "as hav,
called him, is a warm-blooded animal
] and must not be COMPOUNDED with tn,

New York dispatch.l

The widest possible difference Of opinion con-
tinues to exist at Republican and Democratic
headquarters. Never were the Democrats SO
sanguine as at present. Daniel Manning, speak
ing Of the outlook, said:
This is the first time have spoken with re-
gard to the campaign. People may say what
they please, but Grover Cleveland is going to be
our next President. Perhaps ought not To say
so much, but have the most reliable intorma-
tion from all over the country which assures
me of what say. The fact is that there is
more silent work being done In this campaign
than in any other that l can remember. We arc
going TO win.
At the Republican headquarters most Of the
gentlemen occupy their entire time in pooh
pooling the recent publication Of the Mnlligan
letters and unite in saying that the letters will
help Blaine with all thinking voters. Ex-Gov.
Cornell was a little wrathy when he said to-
day: You can use all the Mulligan letters you
want to-the result will be all the same. Grover
Cleveland has no more chance OF being Presi.
dent than have of occupying the moon.
