into the mire almost to their waists. There was
some difficulty in getting them out, and in the

A Team of Deer.
Rnfte Record.


A curious-looking team. attached to a light
blackboard, attracted the attention of a crowd of
men and boys at the junction. The team
consisted of two immense buck deer, with
large a%ntlers, and looked as though they
might outrun a streak of CREASED light
ming. Their harness was made entirely of
buckskin, there not even being a buckle about
them. The driver and proud ownes was a Dig
ger Indian, well known by the name of Buck
horn by our sportsmen who have visited Big
Meadows for the purpose of hunting
and fishing during the outing season.
Old Buekhorn is the high chief of the
Diggers in the neighborhood of Big Meadows and,
Greenville. As. a guide in that grand sporting
country, he is an invaluable acquisition to a party
of campers. It said that he is moderately well
off, owning a drove of ponies and a number of
cattle and sheep. Buckhorn is also an old Mormon,
as he has four or five wives to do his cooking
and darning. This novel team of his has been
in use several years, he having caught the deer
when they were small. In the winter, when the
ground is covered with snow, Buckhorn bitches
his novel team to the sleigh and goes dashing
over the country.

Men WhO Live More Upon the Cars than in
Houses.

New 1ork sun.
There is a distinct railroad population that Isl
constantly growing. 1t is composed of CONNER
cial travellers. lecturers, show agents, actors and1
actresses. They eat more meals in hotel cars
and railroad Manifestations than they do at home
or in hotels. They spend more nights in sleep
ing-car hunks than in beds. To a person who
travels only occasionally il is interesting to note
how thoroughly equipped these professionals
Joulncyers are. Upon entering a sleeping-car
early in the evening, for instance, they remove
their shoes and put on slippers, hang their hats
up and don silk travelling caps, take off their
coats and put on short sack-ceats or smoking
jackets.
In the morning. when the occasional traveller.
obliged to wear the only clothinghe has brought.
goes to the toilet compartment in his coat and
Nost, and thus struggles in an effort to cleanse
his skin without soaping his sleeves or his coat
collar, these professionals again excite his envy.
They come along all smiles, having slept we'll
and feeling perfectly at home. They hang up.
their smoking jackets and display snowy night
robes, ornamented with colored binding and
braid, and capable of being thrown open at the
neck and rolled up above the elbows. From q
pocket in the suspended jacket one produces an
ivory-backed brush and costly comb, a tooth
brush and perhaps a nickel-plated soap-boX. .
Another opens ont u prettily embroidered recep-
tacle, composed OF many folds, each one a pocket
and each one labeled. In these pockets are d
comb. a brush, q toothbrush, shaving brush,
soap-boX, pair Of razor cases, nail-brush, whisk-
broom, hand glass and cologne bottle.
Their familiarity with their surroundings is as
noticeable a part of their equipment. y glance
out of the car windows is almost certain to reveals
to them their whereabouts when they arise, or
when they are walked up, or are about to go to
bed. They carry timetables in their heads, and
give good advice as to which station has the BEST
caterer. They are sociable and democratic. Four
men who never saw one another before meet in a
smoking compartment and know all about onei
another in an hour. The news in the papers
takes on a new interest when they discuss it, bel
cause they seem to know a great deal about ALI,
parts of the country and to have many acquaint-l
anees in all the big cities. They appear to readF
all the news, and to know which newspaper Isl
most apt to have it and to serve ii attractivelyt
where the train stops long enough for the news
BOYS to board it.

Hewitt-Belmont Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Mr. Phelps, of New
Jersey, will report back, tomorrow, from the
committee on foreign affairs, the resolution Of
inquiry of Representative Brumm as to whether
a minister of any foreign power had nulliied
the effect of the unanimous resolution Of the
House by reflection on the honor and integrity
of its members. The report will state that the
committee could find no evidence, and ask to be
discharged from further consideration of the
subject. The presentation of the report is
looked forward to with interest, owing to the
probability that the occasion may be used by
either Hewitt or Belmont to transfer to the floor
of the House the personal controversy waged
between them last week in the committee-room.
An effort may be made to recommit the resolu-
ton to the committee, with instructions to make
further inquiry. Such a motion would be siren
uously resisted by the committee, who think
they have done their duty in the premises. and
in the contention others than the gentlemen
named may be brought into lively debate.

dence in the Block trial was quite voluminous.
The rule requiring the separation of witnesses

sat near his father, while on the other side was

g.. Fl. Galbraith testified that at one time Elsie

R. Griffin, just as the difficulty began, heard
Block say. what are you following me forF'
Frank replied, I'm not; l don't want you to
bother me. I'm going to my supper" William
Hacker stepped between them. Block drew
his pistol aud the melee began. Charles Jacobs,
a tailor, formerly in the employ of Block, heard
him say, Il will get him referring to Frank
out of here; if not one way another. never IN
dertook a thing that l did not succeed in" AT
another time, on asking Elsie what was the
trouble with Frank, he replied: "Never mind,
Charlie, the next time he fools with me L will
kill him" Rufus B.. Havens, Henry Stevens,
Elbie Osborn, Grant Carr, Herman Sturm, A.
Henchman and George Young testified to SINH
lar facts.

GreeIey,s Royh

Ben: Perley Poores "reminiscences.
Horace Greeley's personal appearance was al
ways a subject of remark from his boyhOod.
Rollin c. Mallary, member of Congress from
Vermont, who was an able champion of the
American system, used to narrate a visit of his
to the printing office of a country newspaper at
Poultney, Vt, his place of residence. His at
tention was attracted TO a young eompositor who
was rather awkwardly sticking types" and
who, though full-grown, was evidently the
youngest apprentice in the Office. His legs ran
a good deal more than "a feet" through his pant
aloons; the sleeves of his coat scarcely reached
his elbows; his hair was very white and flaxen,
and he was, on the whole, in the aggregate,
taken separately and together, the greenest-look-
ing specimen of humanity we ever looked at, and
this is saying a good deal, for 1--WE keeps a look
ing-glass." ''That boy" said Mr..
Mallary, will make a remarkable
man; 1 can't hold an argument with
him on Masonry or anything else connected with
politics" AS Mr.. M. was considered one of the
ablest men in Congress, his remark caused me
some SURPRISE, and we not only made a note of
it," but took another look at the devil" print
er's we mean(, and could not but trace in the ex-
pansive forehead "a mind formed in natures
finest mould and wrought for Immortality" 1t
was years afterward that we became aware of
the fact that that boy was Horace Greeley.
