tented republicans Of New York appear
more formidable when viewed from a

against Blaine. though they would natur-
ally take part against the democratic
party, make an impression of public

Col. Pierce, the new governor OF Ia
kota who took the oath of Office at
Yankton week before last, was question
ed in Chicago the other day rs to his
future movements, aud replied that he
should 90 to Dakota to take mp his per-
manent residence as soon as he could
possibly arrange his affiirs.

"And remain there?"
probably, though that depends some
what on circumstances. Bismarck
should undoubtedly be regarded as the
official residence ofthe governor, though
he need not necessarily live there. 1T

shall probably take my family there and
wait the action of the courts and the
legislature"
"Will you revoke the order Of Govern
or Ordway directing the transfer Of all
the archives and records to that point? ~
II said at Yankton that this would
seem something like child's play, in view
of the fact that the capitol building will
soon be ready for occupancy. and then
required under the law to issue a procla
nation enforcing that order. However
! am inclined to think that it would i'm.
yolye unnecessary labor to re,nov the
archives until the roomsa at Bismarck are
entirely ready 20 receive the public
property, as a temporary place would
have to be secured for the books ana
records, and if, upon the expiration of
the thirty days limit under the order
the rooms for the secretary and treasur
er are still unconlpleted, the time viii
probably be extended"
"Do you think Bismarck will remain
the permanent capital"
II have no more knowledge of tha,
than yourself 1t will depend upon who
the people elect as their representatives

Swearing mt the Mules.

A good deal of attention has recently been
paid among students of animal intelligence
to the power of comprehension of human
speech shown by certain of the lower orders
of creation. The foregoing anecdote is told
in support of the theory that understanding
Is due to the effect of tones rather than
words and that such is the case would seem
to be indicated by the behavior of mules UNI
der the stimulus of a professional 'swearer"
Who that has heard western plainsman
"swear" mule team out of a slough can for
get the cumulative effect with which the
climax Is reached 1t is said that on some
much-traveled routes there are certain driv-
ers who are sent for in case of trouble simply
because they can persuade" more work out
of a mule team than the combined lashings
OF all the rest of the train can whip out of
them.
1t must be a1mittel, however, that the
scope Of English in the way of picturesque
swearing is vastly wider than that of any
other language of civilization. We do not
say this in apology for the ungentlemanly
and wholly inexcusable vice of vulgar pro-
family, but because it affords an example Of
the superior flexibility of English as form
Of speech. We doubt il there is any other
language whose current coin of explosives
can be used with any effect ON a western
mule team. The oaths of French, Germans
and Italians are comparatively harmless, and
are capable Of but few variations. English,
therefore, may possibly be the most compre-
hensible to the animal creation simply be-
cause Of the readiness with which it lends it.

The "squar'." Was Ahead.

In the days gone by a citizen of Detroit
who has lately been gathered to his fathers
was justice of the peace for one Of the
townships of this county. One day as he sat
in his Office with nothing to do friend came
along with young horse. The Souar' was
somewhat conceited ON the horse question,
and when informed that the equine before
him would let no man ride him he at once
determined to accomplish the feat. A crowd
gathered, q saddle was brought, and his
honor presently found himself astride of tho
beast The next thing he knew he was lying
in muddy ditch, and a dozen men were
laughing to kill.
II declare this court in session. yelled his
honor as he struggled up.
At this there was fresh burst Of laughter
and he continued:
"And each and every one of you is fined
g for contempt Of courtr'
They laughed harder than ever, but the
fines were recorded and collected, and for
years after it was understood that court was
in session except when the Squar' was in bed
and asleep.
