Unnatural Natural History.

The pelican feeds its young with the
life blood from its own bleeding boz
som. This is a beautiful mistake,
that will live forever in symbol and
legend. The .real live" pelican has
a large bag under her unwieldly
beak, and digging with the beak
toward the breast, she feeds her brood
and soils her feathers with red-stained
tidbits OF fish from the bag. The
nightingale leans her breast against q
thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she q thorn in her
breast but she puts it there. Instead
OF being the voice Of lonely love she
ought to be the emblem of those dis
contented people who, in a position en-
yiable TO others, first make their own
troubles and then spend their lives in
decentralization. OF course the
nightingale is not such fool a. she
looks in poetry. Swans are said to
sing q death song; this is poetry too.
But they are Matched during thunder;
and this is prose 1.-The belief of other

liams returned from Anthony yesterday
having in charge n. z. Potter, A. Herrold,
J. Kopp and Martin Travers, charged with
violating the United States revenue laws in
selling liquor without government license
and John Kinsley, the owner Of the build

first mentioned are all boys and were appar-
emily running fruit store, but had parti.
ton In which was inserted q wheel (some-
times called "blind tiger or ''gieser'
through which they dispensed liquors with
out being seen.
A strong prohibition feeling prevails in
Anthony, and soon after the arrest . crowd
Of about 400 OF the citizens OF that city
gathered, broke into the build
ing and commenced demolishing thin e.

which together with the other liquors were
demolished in as many minutes, and the sa-

BACK FROM THE TERRITORY.

Mr.. Chris. Pierce returned night before
last from the Indian territory, where he
had been for a month. Everything within
the region of the Pattawatomie reservation
was quiet, and the Indians are greatly
pleased over the action of the government
in removing settlers. The truth is the
tribes are receiving a splendid income from
the rental Of their grazing lands to cattle
men, and they know that If settlers once
gain foothold in the territory the Indians
will be compelled to seek another home.
The cattle throughout the territory are In
splendid flesh, and thousands ready for
market. Mrs. Pierce and the boys return
ed with MIR. r. The boys will be of for
school in few days. MIR. T. says he il
now ready to sell lots in the Greifenstein
addition at big bargains.

BIG CORN.

John Flood, whose farm is about five
miles south Of the city and on the west side
of the Big River, and who has raised some
wonderful crops. informed us yesterday
that it is his best judgment that his corn
this year will make eighty bushels to the
acre, which will give him something like
5000 bushels. Last fall he selected the lar
gest and finest ears he could find, and he
says his field is full Of ears from foot to
fourteen inches in length. His barley never
did better than this year, except on a small
corner of seven acres which he did not
plow until this spring. Fall blowing is
necessary to a barley crop in this country.
He will have thousand bushels Of barley
to sell.
