Adventure With n Huge Buffalo.

W Nh sAoSS Duu0lVs
l had singled out as my meat an old
bull with long, highly polished horns
and Tho most magnificent name that
has ever come under my notice. de-
termined to have that head, and to
carry it east with me us trophy. To
single tho brute from the herd and to
plant bullet from my revolver in his
shoulder was an easy task, when aided
by such horse as mine. The re-
mainder of the herd thundcred of to
the West with companions in full
chase, and away toward the east went
my wounded buffalo, with mo good
second, sending pill into his side
whenever he swerved enough TO give
mo chance at his heart. Suddenly
the idea seemed to enter his Uranium
that he was flying in direct line from
his friends, and hc wheeled about and
charged me, his magnificent head
cooked sidcwise ready to toss my mus
tang, his nostrils and eyes blood-rcd,
and the foam flying from his mouth.
When the buffalo swerved my nag
made noble leap out Of his course
and landed with his off foreleg in n
marmot's hole, bringing him to his
knees, swapping the bone of his leg
off like stalk Of straw and sending
mo headlong to the ground, right in
the path Of tho wounded bull. / was
somewhat shaken up and could not
think clearly, but my eyes were wide
open, and the approaching danger
seemed like u weight on all my facul-
ties, benumbing me so that / could
not move so much as an cyclid, and
thus increasing the horor OF the situa-
ton. Tho bull came on, his hoofs
rattling on the hard prairie like the
bones of an end man in a minstrel
show. His hot breath came full in
my mouth and nostrils, leaving bad
taste on my tongue for the remainder
of the day. One of his horns caught
on the collar Of my hunting shirt,
tearing it away, and then his hind
hoof grazed my temple.
He was as glad to escape as I was
myself, and careered over the prairie
after the herd at u three-minute gait,
while arose and planted Il merciful
bullet from my revolver in tho brain
Of my doomed mustang.
One day of this sort of thing is
worth n years dawdling about at the
seashore in Il seersucker coat to man
who is practically unsexed. Idaho

BISMARCK'S PLANS.

4 Grotring Goodness Bettrcen Germany and
England apparent.
The growing GOODNESS between Ger
many and England is attracting much atten-
ion, and is beginning to be looked upon as
serious. The general opinion is that Bis
marck Is sorely irrit,ted at Gadstone's
contemptuous and semi. hostile attitude
toward the schemes of German colonization,
in western Africa, in which it is notorious
that Bismarck is greatly interested. 1t Is
hoped, however, that b smarck will re-
frain from making any such open manifesto
ton of his dislike to the present govern
ment as it would result in alternating that
large and powerful body OF Engllshmen
who sincerely desire 10 maintain 'rdiai re-
laiions with Germany. Much depends upon
the coming parliamentary election. IL Is
certain that il the tories come into posses
sion OF the government, England will speed
ily become q member OF the Austro- German
.lhsnce. In The meantime there i great
curiosity concerning the import to Elgirnd
the conference at Varzin between Prince
Bismarck and Count Kilnoky, the Austro-
Hungarian premier. IL is freely ASSERT
tnat the German chancellor is disguised
with the failure OF the Egyptian confer
ence and Gladstonisn policy generally. he
is planning Joint note from Austria and
Germany to England demanding the prompt
settlement of the Alexandria indemnify
c aims and the enforc mint OF proper sani-
tary regulation In 90 " ntisn allies.

WORKING FOR IRELAND.


Il Bold Offer Of the Solid Vote to Cleveland,
Blaine or Butler.
Boston Dispatch: AT the Parker house
Mrs. Parnell held conference with a num-
Der of Catholic bishops and the leaders of the
Irish National league, concerning means by
which the coming political contest in this
country can be turned to the advancement of
the Irish cause 1t is understood Mrs Par
nell represented her son at the conference.
Mrs. Parnell submitted the details of a
scheme for the benefit of the Irish home in
dustry, which she stated was conceived by
her son and being put in practical execution.
Parnell, she said had formed an association
in England and Ireland of capitalists and
manufacturers whose aim is to encourage
home industry.
This association proposes to establish facto-
ries for the exclusive manufacture of Irish
goods such as could not be manufactured in
England or in other countries, including such
articles as laces, linens, frieZes, woolens and
tweeds, and preparations are in progress for
the establishment of such factories in differ
ent parts of Ireland. Mrs. Parnell made
suggestion as coming from her son that the
proposition be submitted to the republican
and democratic parties, the acceptance of
which by either would decide for which party
the organized Irish vote should be Cast. Mrs.
Psrnell stated that as these Irish goods could
not be made in this country, their Importation
would not In any way conflict with American
home industry, inasmuch as the associa ion
in England proposed to control the produc-
ton. Mr.. Parnells proposition, therefore,
was that direct offer be made to the politi-
cal parties of the United States as follows:
If, in accordance with the friendly feeling
expressed towards Ireland in America by
one of the political parties will in
plank in its platform in favor of
goods of Irish manufacture free of
duty, specifying such goods as cannot be man.
elsewhere than in Ireland, and the
m of which will M with
American productions, then such party will
receive the organized support of the Irish
American vote, even If direct organization
is not made. The Irish vote can be directly or
influenced in favor of the party
which shall champion the cause of he Irish |
industry as indicated.

Trichlniasls IN Germany.

Chicago News
We have more than once had occa-
sion to express regret that there is so
often delay in the publication of official
papers that possess public interest, and
we are forced to do so again, the docu-
ment being on this occasion an official
notice from DR.. Van Arnim, the Bruins
wicker president of police and land
rath. Had this notice been given to the
public in the spring, when the state de-
partment received it, fresh light would
have been thrown upon Bismarck S
contemplate behavior toward Mr.. Sar-
gent.
The notice is brief, and refers to a
trichiniasis epidemic that carried off &C
people at a place designated as Ener-
slebcn during the latter part of last
year, and very great stress is laid upon
the fact that every individual who died
had eaten the swine's flesh uncooked.
Now, here was a case where there was
can. On the contrary, the animal-for
one did all the mischief-was a good
German hog, with, no doubt, a long
hoggish ancestry in the fatherland.
But the main point is the eating of
the raw flesh. If the Brunswickers,
and Germans of other states, choose to
assimilate themselves as closely to the
animal from which they get trichiniasis
as to devour its flesh raw, it serves
them right if they suffer the legitimate
consequences. DR.. Van Arnim says
that trivial cases were caused by eating
partially cooked portions of the hog,
but the sufferers soon recovered. The
whole thing, in short, goes to show that
it is not the importation of the Ameri-
can hog into Germany, but the manner
in which many Germans eat swine's
flesh, that causes epidemics of trichini-
asis in that country.

For the Settlement Of Witch Proper Steps are
No,c Being Taken.
The Omaha Herald says that Mr.. John S.
justice, and Judge Wilson, of the firm of
Shellabarger g. Wilson, of Washington, have
been taking the dispositions of various Union
Pacific officials, in the action brought by the
company against the United States, for a set
Element of disputed accounts. This action
has two-fold object, first, to find to what
amount the government is indebted to the
railway for the transportation of supplies,
mails, etc.; and, second, to find what is due
the government from the railway under the
Thurman sinking fund act of 1878. The facts
are about as follows: The Union Pacific has
been doing transportation work for the Unit
ed States ever since 1871, under the supposi-
ton that when presented its bills would be
audited according to the charter, lat fair
mot to be more than paid to private parties
for like service" The Dad was also to pay
into the treasury per cent. of its net earn
ings as a sinking fund TO provide for the pay
ment of the debt due the government. In
1873 the Thurman act increased the payment
to be made by the road to 20 per cent. of its
net earnings. When the company presented
its accounts, the bills for transportation were
thrown out by the United States officials, who
alleged that they were not based on fair
and reasonable compensation, and the claim
of the company that the cost of certain items
of permanent improvement should be de-
Quoted from the earnings of the road before
the % per cent. was taken out. was disputed.
To S. tile the matter the present suit was
commenced, but when or how it Will be deter
mined is another matter. The case will come
before the court of claims at Washington in
November.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Wife.

Boston Letter to New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The venerable Miss Elizabeth Pea
body, now in her eighty-third year, is
sister of Mrs. Horace Mann and of
Mrs. Hawthorne. ''Was Mrs. Haw-
thorne at all like Mrs. Mann or Miss
Peabody" l asked Mrs. Whipple to-
day. Miss Peabody and Mrs. Mann
are very unlike, and each strong in in
-dividuality. Mrs. Whipple told me in
reply that Mrs. Hawthorne was pre-
.eminently the artist in her nature, and
she gave me little picture of her
when the Hawthorne's lived at Lenox
that will always stay with me. The
Whipples were visiting the Haw-
thornes, who lived in the daintiest lit
tie cottage. For tea that night Mrs.
Hawthorne picked the currants and
made the bread, and Mrs. Hawthorne
set the table so that Mrs. Whipple and
her husband could face the range of
hills, and they sat down just at the
hour of sunset. A perfect flood of
golden radiance mingled with the
dusky, purple shadows of defile and
glen, and Mrs. Hawthorne said: 81
