Interested TO see how differently from

and tried to jerk it out. This would
have been somewhat too successful,
only that his efforts we're in a side-wise
direction, and the pins would not come.
In few days, however, he learned how

Them on the floor, leaning over the edge
Of the bureau TO hear each one fall on
the mating, and then go down him
self and pass each one through his bill
from head to point, exactly as he did q
meal worm before swallowing it. The
stiffness Of the pins discouraged him;
he never tried TO make meal OF them.
His experience with the looking-glass
was most melancholy, till covered 1t
up In pity. The instant he caught sight
OF himself, or his own reflection, rath-
er, he would drop his wings, raise head
and tail, and in that curious position
strut around before the glass; calling
softly, with the sweetest and most ten
der twittering, though so low 1t could
scarcely be heard. After some time Of
this coaxing, he would become dis
heartened, and then he would stand
motionless, with feathers pulled out.

BETTER THAN EVER.
The inter Ocean Tor 1894.

More new features have been intro
duced in The Weekly Inter Ocean in
the last twelve months than in any
other paper published in this country.
Retaining all the old specialties and
deoartments, the publishers have added
illustrated biographical sketches of per-
sons prominently before the public at
date of publication; illustrated articles
on important historical and current
events, or in elucidation of antiquarian
research, or interesting engineering and
mechanical problems; cable letters from
London covering the field of Europdan
news for each week; special contriba-
tions devoted to "reminiscences of army
and political life; and new series of
articles given up largely to personal
gossip and recoIections of promincntlit
erary people.
The Inter Ocean will remain uncom-
promisingly Republicans; will maintain
its present attitude on the question of
protecting American industries; will
continue to devote special attention to
trade, transportation, and economic
questions; will retain the departments
OF The Curiosity Shop Ga current ency-
clopedia of curious, interesting, and
valuable information called out by in
quries of subscribers); The Woman's
Kingdom devoted to the progressive
movements in which women are in
terestedl. The Farm and Home cover
ing topics Of special interest to farmers.

Beautiful Weather.
Dakota State Journal.

Dakota beats the world for weather.
Clear, dry-cold and bracing, snowless
through most of the winter months, de-
void OF those damp and chilly fall days
so much the dread of the east, Dakota
wears a crown of superiority in regard
to climatic excellencies that make her
sons love her for these merits with a
devotion that shames her older sisters
into abashed silence, once the truth is
known among them. Week after week,
the heavy rumble of wheels is heard on
our roads, sounding more like the noise
of well-constructed plank roads, such
as were in vogue in the east quarter
of century ago, with not a jar or a
jolt to mar the travellers pleasure as he
trundles along, mile after mile over her
limitless bosom, macadamized by Dame
Nature herself. Every time the hus-
bandman starts out with load here,
during the delightful fall and winter
days, he can justly and conscentiously
say, "God bepraised for our fine roads. :"
He can load his wagon to the utmost
starting power of his team and have no
fears but what they can pull it through
if they can start it at all In Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa the roads are hub
deep in terra mud or else frozen into
most horrible hummocks. making trav-
el on them performance to be dreaded
either with or without a load, on foot
Or on horseback, and at times for weeks
together their roads as such have to be
abandoned entirely, while the fields
take the travel. The writer has spent
the most OF his life so far, in the Missis-
sippi valley. and now, from the vantage
ground of a Dakota residence, We are
willing to challenge the United States
to show q nicer climate, finer roads,
better lands, more prosperous or hap
pier people than are the boast, pride and
beauties of the Wonderland"

Press and Dakotaian: None OF the
funds alleged to have been received
from the sale of Bismarck lots for the
construction of capitol have been sent
to the territorial treasurer. Deeds rep
rcsenting transfers to the amount of
nearly $4,000 weremade out and taken
possession of by the chairman of the
capital commission. ThG act under
which this supposed sale was made pre-
Scribes in definite terms that when a
sale is made the money shall be forth
with transmitted to the territorial
treasurer and that all disbursements
from this fund shall be by means of
warrants drawn on the treasurer by the
auditor. 1t would be interesting to
know just who has pocketed this $lS,-
coo, if any sales of lots was ever made.
The iniquity is becoming more and
more iniauitous as time goes on.

1t can not be said that this state of
things is due to any natural cause oper-.
ating in other Southern States. The
votes OF nine other Southern States are
known. In two of these the colored
population is large, but free and fair
vote was in most places secured in these
States by the presence of o powerful

lively small. In these nine States, out
of 2,473,6S5 adult males in 1880, of
whom only 533, ,397 were colored, at the
