quently expostulated with All Jim Wo be-
cause the Shanghai pecked at the bantam
through the bars of the cage. Yesterday
morning Mr. Mulcahey discovered the Shang-
hal with grip upon his chickens tail
feathers, trying to drag him through tho
bars. The chickens didn't come out, but the
tail did.
Mr.. Mulcahey was indignant. "why don't
ye keep that beast av yours in the house p"
he demanded.
"Looster likee fghtee you looster," ex-
claimed All Jim Wo.
"Them things don't fight" exclaimed Mr..
Mulcahey in disdain.
All Jim regarded the game compassionately,
and exclaimed: "Him too little.n

Chinaman put his bird down and Mr.. Mulca-
hey threw the game at him. The game crowed,
strutted up. and walked around his big
antagonist, looking for weak points. The
Shanghai elevated himself upon his toes and
looked down sideways at the pigmy. The
game flew ut the Shanghai, which lodged
and tried to run, but the game headed him
off There was futter and o FASH and the
feathers flew from the Shanghai's breast, and
then Mr.. Mulcahey's chicken sneezed and

The Most Interesting Collection of
Prehistoric Bones Ever Made
in America.
Atheus Banner Waterman.

Atheus Banner Waterman.
j. B. Toomer has received letter
from Mr.. Hszleton, who is on a visit
to Gainesville. The letter contained
several heads made of bone and gave
an interesting account of the opening
of large Indian mound near that
town hv 81 committee of scientists sent
out from the Smithsonian Institution.
After removing the dirt for some
distance a layer of large hagstones
was found, which had evidently been
dressed by hand and showed that the
men who quarried this rock under
stood their business These stones
were removed when In kind of
vault beneath them the skeleton Of 4
giant, that measured seven feet two
inches, was found. His lair was
coarse and jet black and hung to the
waist, the brow being ornamented
with n copper crown. The skeleton
was remarkably well preserved and
taken from the vault intact.
Near this skeleton were found the
bodies Of several children of various
sizes. The remains o! the latter were
covered with beads, made of bone of
some kind. Upon removing these
the bodies were found to be enclosed
In network of straw or reeds and be-
meath this WAS covering of the skin
Of some animal. In fact, the bodies
had been prepared somewhat after
the manner of mummies and will
doubtless throw new ligh, on the
history of people who reared these
mounds. Upon the stones that cover
ed the vault were carved inscriptions,
and if deciphered will probably lift
the veil that has eDshrouded the
history of the race of giants that I'M
doubtedly at one time inhabited this
continent.
All the relics were carefully packed
and forwarded to the Smithsonian
Institute and are said to be the most
interesting collection ever found in
America. The explorers are now at
work on another mound in Barlow
county.

Circus people took about the same
stock in vauIting then that they do
now in tumbling, and Cad was the
king of 'em all
1t was during this time, when he
was equestrian manager and director
the ring, that Cabs handsome face
and form caught the fancy of a
young lady from New York, who was
IN the city on a visit with her mother
She was beautiful girl and she
made no bones about her admiration
for the handsome rider. A meeting
was arranged be:ween them, and
they were finally married. but
whether il was secret or not | never
heard. She was a Miss Livingston.
IF he famous New York family OF
that name. and she was as rich as she
vas beautiful. | don't know whether
it was stipulation in the marriage
agreement or not, but anyhow Cad
retired from the business after his
marriage aud he's never been IN the
ring since. That was in 1850. There
was a good deal of romance mixed up
in the story OF his marriage, but |
never heard the details His wife
died several wears ago, but Cad never
came back to the business. Ills wife,
who was related to the Stevens family,
left a great deal of property in New
York. Since her death Cad has been
retired and solemn like. He don't
talk much and Ae likes to hang around
the places that knew him in the old
days.
HAUNTING THE SITE OF THE OLD RING.
For several years he has spent
most of his time light here in the
Continental and over the spot where
the old ring stood. Maybe his mind
was running back TO the old times, as
mine often does. | don't believe
show people ever become fully weane d
from their business. There's Darius,
Cad and myself. and l reckon we've
turned seventy-fve. We three are
the Oldest show people living in
Philadelphia, l guess. There was
something pathetic, though, in old
Cabs stroke. He sat right here in
the reading-room, over the spot where
he used to wheel his four-horses and
turn flip-faps on their backs, and
where he won his wife, and here he
got his stroke of paralysis. L hear
he's little better to-day, but Cabs
getting pretty old. He's crowding
four-score pretty close, l reckon.
There's lots of stories [ might tell you
about old Cad, young man, said the
old manager, in conclusion, but L
guess the public knows all they ought
10 know about retired gentleman's
career

Child-Murder as a Duty.
London News.

London News.
The Novoje Vremja warns Russian
mothers of a new religious sect, which
has already given several proofs of Its
existence. In Rostov, on the Don, an
officer engaged a middle-aged nurse
for his three-year-old son. She was
very attentive aud seemed TO love the
child, but after two months she sud-
denly left the situation and the town.
The child began to all the very next
day, lost its memory, and suffered
from continual drOwsIness. A week
later it died without having been
really i'll. The corpse was placed in
the coffin, when a yOung Jewess burst
into the house, and threw herself upon
the dead child. and crying bitterly,
said {: The sane woman poisoned nv
child. She was my nurse before, and
now she has murdered your poor boy.
The woman spoke the truth, It has
been found that in RostOv there is a
society of child-murderers, vino poison
children by means of narcotics. They
are instigated to do so by a fanatical
woman, who says 1t j. every WON
aus duty TO spare the evils of life tn
as many children as possible and to
make them participate in the bliss of
heaven, before the earth has contamin.

An English Gentleman.

ST. James Gazette.
The Prince of Wales, "a duke of
Cornwall, has just been granted let
tiers of administration of the personal
estate of a gentleman who lately died
in the county of Cornwall, and is
pithily described in the record as a
bachelor, bastard and interstate. Legal
phraseology is not always so curt and
unadorned but then English law has
never smiled on bachelors. The legis-
lature has even sought 10 make cell
bacy quasi-penal, a tax having been
laid upon the members of this bapless
class. In the regions of William Ill,

Oscar Wilde on America.

A large audience assembled at the
Crystal Palace. at Sydenham, a few
days ago, to hear Mr.. Oscar Wilde's
lecture on his impressions of America.
Mr.. Wilde, who has discarded knee
breeches and reassumed the prosaic
trousers, said that the American peo-
pie are the noisiest in the world whose
national occupation is catching trains
Pennsylvania with its rocky gorges
and woodland scenery, remind him of
Switzerland; the prairie. of a piece of
brown blotting paper. Everything is
twice as large as it should be; every
where is twice as far as it should be.
He visited Leadville, the chief char
acteristics of whose inhabitants is the
constant use of the revolver. He lee
tured to them on Benvenuto Cellini,
his Life and Works, and was reproved
by his hearers for not having brought
that artist with him. The explana-
ton that he had been dead for some
little time elici:ed the inquiry, Who
shot him ? Among the more elderly
inhabitants of the south, he found
nelaIcholy tendency to date every
event of Importance by the late war.
How beautiful the moon is tonight I!
he remarked to a gentleman who was
standing next to him. Yes, was the
reply. but you should have seen it be-
fore the war. So in6nitesimal did he
find the knowledge and appreciation
of art west of the Rocky mountains,
that an art patron-one who in his
day had been a internationally sued
the railroad company for damages be-
cause the plaster cast of Venus of
Milo, which he had imported from
Paris, had been delivered minus the
arms and what was more surprising
still, he gained his case and the dam
ages.

Grazing Land.

Versailles, MOL Gazette.
Morgan county, has greater diver
sity of soil than any other in Central
Missouri. Its rich, rolling prairies and
alluvial bottom lands, renders
it the best possible section for the sue.
cessfuI cultivation of all crops raised
in this latitude. This county, also,
possesses another advantage that will,
in the near future, prove a source OF
more profit to the people than farm
ing. We allude to the grazing lands
in the south part of this county. This
section is well watered and timbered,
and is covered by hardy and nutri-
tious growth Of wild blue-stem grass,
which horses eat with avidity and up
on which they fat:en rapidly. The
mild climate of this section, the low
price and excellent quality of these
lands for grazing purposes, causes one
well acquainted with them as well as
with other sections where stock rails
ing is probably engaged in under
more disadvantages circumstances
to wonder why these lands
have heretofore been passed
by. Some of the best beef cattle ship
ped from this point to Saint Louis and
Chicago markets are raised III the
southern part of Morgan county.
But these cattle are raised by farmers,
who do not engage exclusively III
stock raising, and there is vast unen'
closed area of these lands, capable OF
supporting large herds of stock, which
is untrodden by hoof during the en-
tire grazing season. This land, even
at this late day, is extremely low IN
price, and large tracts can be bought
at from two To five dollars per acre.
Combining, az they DO, al the best
features OF pasture lands, 1T is only a
question of time when hey viii be
sought after and command price
which will astOnish those who now re
gard them as Of only nominal value.
Contrast the alkali plains of Kansas
the vast sandy and barren areas o
Texas and the western territorie:
with this section and you al once see
the advantages of the latter. Where
except in Missouri, and especially il
this section, can you find a stocl
country which combines a mild
climate, with an unfailing supply o
water, excellent shade and an unoc
cupied territory well covered with tn,
best growth of grass under the sun
