alter Logan something of his pluck: Kel-
! logg who was afterward so prominent in
Louisiana, was in congress at the time Logan
and 1 were there. He came from one of the
central districts (Peoria) of Illinois. He
was making a speech one day and Logan in
terrupted him. Kellogg said something
severe. Logan retorted, calling the other
spaniel. Kellogg was very large, heavy man.
He drew a knife and started across the
floor towards Logan's seat, saying in n
dignified way as he made his way over: "Does
my colleague call me spaniel!" We kept
| our pistols then in the drawers of our desks.
Logan pulled out his drawer, and, grasping
his pistol, said: ''Yes, call you the biggest
kind of a spaniel. I'm not big enough to
handle you, but here's something that isl
The sergeant-at-arms got between them, and
but for that one or the other would have been
hurt. Logan said heap of rough things.
| This was prior to the senator's conversion by
telegraph, when he could say as rough things
as any man who ever scuttled a ship or drove
an army mule.
In the dearth of local events the Larimore
Leader relates this instance of misplaced con-
fidence in which one Mcintyre is interested:
There is a certain young man in this city
who of late has spruced up considerably,
and considers himself dude. He thought
it would be fine thing to make mash, and
considered the Commercial hotel good
place to commence operations. One day last
week he made his way there and succeeded
| in getting himself introduced to the girls en-
| plOyed in the house, and invited one of them
| to accompany him to the rink in the even
ing. She very gracefully accepted the invi-
tation, and after he took his departure she
| thought it would be a capital idea to play q
| joke on him. She therefore made the boys
in the hotel acquainted with the situation of
affairs, and they at once commenced opera,
atoms AT the hotel there is youth who
resembles the young lady very much
in size and height, whom they
dressed up in female attire and placed him
in the parlor to await the dudes arrival. Soon
after dark the young man put in an appear
ance, and with a smile childlile and bland,
led forth his charmer. After proceeding Il
short distance, and when near the end of the
Elk Valley bank. his ducelina informed him
that some of her undertaking was coming
off, and invited him to step behind the bank
and help her to secure them. The dude was
struck dumb at the request. He stood re-
gardng her for moment, with horror pic
| tured upon his countenance while great
| drops of perspration started from every
| pore, then he gave n yell that was heard for
blocks around and started down the street
at breakneck speed and was soon lost sight
of in the darkness.
There is undoubtedly some stir of late
among Irish citizens, who are commonly
termed fenains, and efforts on foot to do
something, whether to scoOpin Manitoba and
the north pole and dump the provincial and
| Canadian troops into Hudson's Bay, or simply
| 20 Ia aff.c 4I,,
| ton of such funds as can be allured from the
| treasures of fenian leagues in the cities of
the country, is not quite sure. The fact
| however, that the local organization is COM
posed exclusively of officers, none below the
| rank of captain, gives color to the latter sup
| position. Delegates have been sent TO Mani
toba and meetings are held every few nightsin
! theBoulger block, apparently for the purpose
of promoting each other to higher positions.
| 1t is said that at q session last night quar-
| termaster general was elected. If they really
intend any infraction of international or
| United States law they take a very singular
course about it, in letting their colors be
seen by the public, and making no secret of
the names of the participants. The spies
sent to watch them no doubt have the names
and biography of each of them. If
their aim is simply to furnish n
| nucleus of a filibuster scheme on paper,
and wage an active war upon the funds of the
alleged alliances, there are few well informed
persons who will disparage their ability and
capacity. If they are simply perpetrating a
huge joke, it is strange and almost incredible
that it should be so well sustained, and at q
considerable outlay of money. 1t is the bet
ter presumption that they compose corps or
army of observation, all rank, no file, to TO-
| meut secession and revolution in Manitoba at
long and safe range, and see that material
aid is not lost and wasted by falling into less
conservative hands. They will, no doubt
keep up smoke enough to give employment
to spies and detectives.
