The Nec York Herald Of February Goth, 1891,
contained an account of the burning of the house
326 Stanton street, New York City. The origin of
the Are was unknown. Terror-sricken, Mrs Van
Ripper jumped from the third story window to the
sidewalk and shortly after died from the effects Of
the fall. When the rremen gained entrance they
found the little girl Jennie with an In FAINT brother
clasped to her bosom, both burned dead. In an adj

beside the chalred remains of his nine-year old
son. Albert. The father had carried his wife
daughter and baby to the window, and was return

by the flames and was burned to death. Thus in

Grass Eaters.

An exchange remarks that it is
quite amusing to watch the prairie
dog as he sits and squeals near the
mouth of his den, and to see Finn
pop down into it quick as a fash
when disturbed. The towns, is the
fields they inhabit are called, are
objects of interest to travellers, and
thus far they have generally been
considered harmless. There is one
danger, however, that may come
from their multiplication, which is
worthy of consideration, and is re-
ferred to in an exchange as follows:
"Civilization has removed the
wolves, owls, snakes, and badgers,
enemies of the prairie dog, and
permitted him to increase until
his people have become a vast
multitude, and is about to cap
ture the Lone Star state. From
the Red river south to the Colorado
an army of these little playful
fellows is devouring the grazing
country clean for an area Of
25O miles long by 200 wide. Their
march, like the Goths and Van
dals, is slow but sure, eating clean
as they go. Their march is at the
rate Of about five miles year, to
the east and south. Texas looks
upon this invading host with fear
full forebodings. The promise to
overrun the whole state and drive
the herdsmen to despair. The
Texas longhorns are no match for
those playful little fellows in the
struggle for grass. While the steer
is snorting and paving around his
town the tiny rodent will snip his
grass and scamper to his hole in
safety. Why not call out an army
Of the southwestern cowboys and
let them expend their extra amuni-
ton upon this army of prairie
dogs rather than upon each other
and upon peaceful settlers" The
above woeful picture of the destruc-
tiveness of a little animal may be
somewhat overdrawn. In this part
of the northwest its numbers are
yet comparatively small, but they
may increase rapidly, and it will be
wise to watch their progress and
check it in time.

A Cowboy on Roller Skates.

The cowboy takes to the new
style of locomotion as naturally as
a democrat takes to Stonewall or
Valley Tan. Toll Caldwell was
telling me of the fun he had last
night. He said: II am more used
to riding on horseback, but last
night thought I'd try them little
wagons. I got one with double
cinch, and another to match it, and
as soon as 1 straddled the lay out I
could feel'em begin to bow their
backs, and was wishing / had q
buck rein, because l was expecting
them to stiffen their knees and 60
to bucking every minute, but they
didn't. l walked 'em over to the
other end of the corral to gentle 'em
a little, and directly they stared
off at an easy canter. and were COM
ing around back right through the
herd; And there was q dude there
with stiff hat who was trying to
cut out Polled Angus heifer, in a
blue dress, and l fouled and roped
both my hind legs With q hoop
skirt and it had me stretched out
ready for branding quicker'n q
spring calf can bawl with its mouth
open and its lungs stretched. But
l got up and got on again, aud you
oughter seen me exercise them We
hicles. OF course they wasn't bri-
die wise, and ofscourse they'd buck
when Itried to hurry'em, and they
would rather rear up and fall back,
when | tried to stop'em too quick,
but I'll leave it to the boss herdsr
of the whole roundup if / didn't
gallop'em, round there for.three or
four hours and had'em roll over and
over with ME, and then they didn't
get me of. II Muldoons

FURTHER ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS BY
AMERICANS.
Lieutenant Stoney, United States
Navy, commanding the United
States schooner Ounalaska, has
been heard from in this city under
date Of July, 9th last. Accounts are
unusually interesting and creditable
to American seamanship and "grit
The Ounalaska had reached latitude
66 degrees 04 minutes north, and
longitude 1853 deg. Is min. west.
Upon leaving st. Michal's Lieuten-
ant Stoney stood north along the
American coast until June 9th,
when ice was encountered fifteen
miles to the north of Sledge Island,
in latitude GA deg. 20 min. north,
longitude 166 deg. 25 min. west.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to penetrate the ice, which proved
to be very heavy at this point, the
Ounalaska was headed to the south
ward until clear water was reached,
when the ice to the westward Was
skirted, just to the north of St. law
renee Islands. On June 80 St. Law
renee Bay was reached. The Inner
Bay, where the United States steam
ship Rodgers was burned, was still
full of ice. MIR. Stoney spoke to
the whaling ship Rainbow, and
learned from Captain Caughlin-
master, that Kotzebu Sound was.
closed, and he anchored and waited
for the ice to commence moving.
After four days gale from the
south, Lieutenant Stoney ran over
and anchored under East Cape
where the information obtained
from the captain Of the Rainbow
was confirmed by the captain of the
whaling ship Ohio. Having gotten
as far north as the ice permitted the
Ounalaska would remain waiting
to take advantage OF the first OPEN
ing Of Horham Inlet, when the con-

BELVA A. LOCKWOOD.
Candidate of the Womau's Bights Party
for the Presidency.

The latest political sensation is
the candidature of Belva 4. Lock
wood, of Washington, for the Presi-
dency. She has long been prom
inent as an agitator for "woman's
rights" a temperance reformer, and
as hardworking member Of the
Universal Peace Union and of the
Arbitration League. She is a
prominent lawyer, and has been,
since 1879, a member of the Bar of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. No stranger to noteriety
previously, she is now known
everywhere in the Union as the can
didate of the Women's National
Rights party of California, for the
Presidency of the United States.
The party named have given reas-
ons to the world why they prefer
Mrs. Lockwood to other women
eminent in agitation, whether wife,
widow or spinster. 1t seems that
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is ''too old"
for the honor; Susan B. Anthony
"too much Of a spinster;" Mary A.
Livermore ''too opposed to certain
classes" and Lucy Stone ''too mar
row." Belva A. Lockwood unhesi-
tatingly accepts the nomination in
witty letter which bids for votes
in every direction and promises Off
ces to her sex in the event of her
election. AS women cannot vote
for the Presidency, and woman
cannot be President, the reason why
the new machine has been con-
structed and set working is not
plain to the blunt perceptions of
man. Perhaps it is one more pro-
est against ''male tyrrany..'
The candidate is native of New
York State. She was born in 1880.
When only fourteen years old she
taught school. Four years later she
married Uriah IL. Nc. Nall, who
died in 1853. leaving one daughter,
now literary person-Lura w.
Ormes. Mrs. Nc Nall assisted in
the care of Union soldiers during
the war. At it's close she resumed
teaching. In 1868 she married
again, her second husband being
DR.. +. Lockwood, now deceased.
Mrs. Lockwood received the degree
of A. NJ. from Syracuse University
in 1870. Directing her attention to
the study of the law, she graduated
as IL. b. at the National Universi-
ty, Washington, and in 1873 was
admitted to practice in the District
of Columbia. After hard fight
she succeeded in being rece we'd as
a member of the Bar Of the Su-
preme court of the United States.
This was in 1879, and is remarkable
as point gained by those who
clamor for "equal rights" in the
sexes.
The fair candidate for the Presi-
dency is a well-known figure in
Washington. She rides the trl-
cycle to perfection, and to her is
due the distinction of having intro
duced that vehicle in the capital of
the United States. Her candidaturc
seems to be taken in earnest by
some people, if it be true that she
is already in receipt OF attention
from both female and male Office
seekers. A Kentuckian makes hel
a promise of marriage conditional
upon her success. This enterpris-
ing individual expresses his perfect
willingness to be ''boss ofthe White
House."
The great public are indebted to
Mrs. Lockwood for the biggest joke
of the campaign.

after him. The officers got their
man and were on their way home

made some arrangement with Kean
to square the account, and Elmer was
allowed to resume his journey to the
