 A System of Bankruptey-The BIlI
 Agreed Upon By the House Committee.
 WASHINGTON, March 5-The bill agreed on by the House Judiciary committee to-day to establish uniform system of bankruptcy is identical with the bill reported to the Senate yesterday. It gives jurisdiction in bankrupt cy to the United States District courts and authorizes any persons owing over $500 to file petition for discharge from his debt with statement of all liabilities and of all his estate assgnable under this act. His application is then to be referred to commissioner with the powers of Q mas ter in chancery. A person bankrupt in commercial sense may be thrown into invol- untary bankruptcy on the petition of three creditors whose debts may aggregate over $500. The court is authorized to appoint as many commissioners of bankruptcy ss may be necessary with one suspension in bankruptcy in each district to examine personally into the administration of bank 1 ruptcy proceedings throughout the circuit to report any irregularities and to make quart erly report of all proceedings to the court. Creditors at the first meeting before the com missioner are to select one or more trustees l for the estate of the debtor. If the estate 1 does not exceed $7,OOO the commissioner shall act as trustee. Wearing ap- parel and such other property of the bankrupt as may be exempted | from seizure by the laws of the United States l or of the State are exempted from surrender | under the bill and the court may allow him a 1 sum of money not exceeding $500 for his support pending the proceedings. The bill contains 1O7 sections.

the head of the mongoosc.
The mongoo e, as the cobra
was withdrawing bis head
after he had inflicted the bite,
instantly rctaliatcd by fixing
his teeth in the head of the
cobra. This seemed to con-
vince the cobra that he was
no mach for his fierce and
watchful antagonist and now
no longer exhibiting a head
erect and defiant eye, he UNI
folded his coils and ignomini-
ously skunk away. Instantly
the mongoosc was on his
rctrcating foe, and burying
his teeth in his brain, at once
ended the contest.
The mongoosc set to work
to devom his victim, and in a
few minutes had eaten the
head and Din or Bin of the
body, including the venom SO
dreaded by all. We should
have mentioned before that,
previous to this encounter, the
snake had struck a fowl,
which died within half an
hour Of the inhiction of the
bite; showing, beyond doubt,
its capability to inilicting a
deadly wound.
After the mongoosc has
satisfied his appetite, we pro-
cccdcd to examine with a
pocket lens the wounds he
had received from the cobra
and on washing away the
blood from one of these
places, the lens disclosed the
broken fang of the cobra
becpIy im1cdded in the head
of the mongoosc. We had
the mongoosc confined four
days, but it is POW as healthy

to have undergone a
PECULIAR PROCESS,

Which turned it to lead. Ex-
animation disclosed numerous
roots doctorcd in the same
manner, and the mystery of
the increase of weight in
ginseng was solved. n num-
Der of experiments showed
that the trick could be most
readily worked by punching
out the light pith with a
flexible steel rod, and then
running the lead in in a melted
state. AS ginseng is worth
S1.75 per pound and lead
about three cents, and labor
is cheap in Kentucky and
Missouri, it can be readily
seen that the profit must have
been something enormous for
even the short time that the
scheme was in operation.
Whether lead is a good
diuret!c for the Chinese or
not is a question that Jones
d Co. have not had answered
yet, but it is probable that
another steamer or two will
bring information that is, if
the last lot or two of ginseng
shipped has been opened up.
Anyhow, lead is not good
stutfing for either turkey or
ginseng, and while feeling a
quiet tendency tocongratulate
Missouri and Kentucky, we
must admit that the Chinese
importers have what is popu-
larry known as a "kick'
coming to them.-AHo Gull

said to be the case with boars

Whether there is protecting

whether pig-slin is too tough

With regard to the mon
goose, some light is thrown
on the question in the
following account Of a battle
which took place with Il
fierce cobra. The fight was
witnessed byseveral officers
of the Indianarmy, and a re-
port of it appeared in the
Madras newspapers at the
time, signed by X. Macaulay,
major; b. j. Combc captain ;
and II. G. Symons, licuten-

The mongoose approached
the cobra with caution, but
devoid of any appearance Of
fear. The cobra, with head
erect and body vibrating,
watched his opponent with
evident signs of being aware
Of how deadly an enemy he
had to deal with. The mon
goose was soon within easy
striking distance Of the snake,
who, suddenly throwing back
his head struck at the mon
goose with tremendous force.
The mongoosc, quick as
thought sprang back out Of
reach, uttcring at the same
time savage 9rowls. Again
the hooded reptile rose on
the defensive, and mongoose,
nothing daunted by the dis
tended jaws and glazing eyes
of his antagonist, approached
so near to the snake that he
was forced, not rclishing such
close proximity to draw his
head back considerably. This
lessened his distance from the
ground. The mongoose, at
once Selling the advantageous
opportunity, spranS atthe
cobra's head, and appeared
to inhict as we'll as to receive
Il wound. Again the COM
batants put themselves in a
position to renew the en-
counter. Again the snake
struck at his willy opponent,
and again the, Iattcr's agility
saved him. 1t would be tedious
to recount in funthcv detail
the aticulars of about a
dozen successive rounds, at
the end Of which time neither
combatant seemed to suffer
more than the other.
lhe lSht mad lasted some
three quarters Of an hour and
both combatants seemed now
to nerve themselves for tho
final encounter. The cobra

The official canvass of the vote of 1882
for delegate in congress shows that A..
O52 ballots were cast at the last biennial
election and that of these Mr. Raymond
received 3S,798 and Mr.. Brooklngs 1884,
majority of 30,544 for Raymond. The
general belief is that not more than two
thirds of tho vote of Dakota was polled
on that occasion, the opposition to the
republican candidate being 60 slight
that only the form of canvass was
gone through with. The consequence
was that many republicans and many
democrats failed to go to the polls, neg.
lecting the opportunity to record their
names upon the political census list of
Dakota. With the figures of 1882 before
us it is 10 extravagant claim that there
is in Dakota q majority of at least &C, 900
for MIR. Clifford and vote for both can
didates which will fall not far short of
100000. Since the election of 1882 there
has been an unprecedented rush of i'm
migration, and nearly all of Dakota's
residents have been in the territory long
enough to entitle them to the privileges
of the ballot. Dakota's interests re-
quire that every vote be cast and counted

Hon. A. @. Mellette, chairman OF the
territorial republican central committee,
has issued circular in which he strong.
ly urges upon the republican party the
necessity for full vote next month. A
full vote is not needed to insure the
election of Judge Clifford to congress, as
a arepublican nomination is equivalent to
an election in Dakota. Still it would
be q compliment worthlly bestowed to
give our candidate the entire vote
of his patty. We want majority to
which Judge Clifford can point with
pride when be goes down to Washington
to represent the half million people of
Dakota. Mr.. Mellette's plea for full
vote is based upon its Importance as q
basis upon which to estimate the popu-
lation of Dakota and his suggestions are
of as much interest to democrats as to re-
publicans. He holds that Dakota con.
tains hundred thousand votes and that
every one of these votes should be
thrown into the ballot box on the fourth
of November. Our. representative will
then be able to convince congress that
Dakota possesses sufficient population tc
entitle it to division and admission. Mr.
Mellette argues further:
The vote for delegate ut the coming
election will become the basis of repre-
sentation in future conventions for the
selection of candidates, and in the con.
stitutional convention, aud also oi
representation in the Legislature te
choose United States senators, it state
hood is attained. No county can afford
to ignore these facts.
This is an important consideration anG
one involving loyalty to the patty ticket
Republican conventions are til.
ruling power in this lanc
and in proportion to it
representation therein will eacl
county possess influence and strength
1t is therefore the duty Of repuhlica,
organizations to labor for complet
party vote In the various counties of Ds
