it would be difficult in all poetry TO find
two wild animals more intimately assO-
ciated. The standing. fr~uit-eating,
retiring, straightforward and mild-mau-
nercd bear has nothing in common
with the agile. disappointing wolf.
Nevertheless. in poetry they are as
punctually and arbitrarily bracketed to
gether rs larks and ~linnets, or apes or
asses. Bruin has had to suffer much in
consequence. first of all, of the ignG-
minious familiarity which its dancing,
and being baited have induced; anil
secondly, of its unfortunate personal
appearance. But when it sets itself GO
inc after one it wishes to catch, tn,
bear displays an agility and address
which those who have been hunted b.
it declare to be amazing. And when it
wishes to get beetle-grubs out OF tho
ground, ants out of their nest, hOnei
out of a bee-tree. fruit from a sleD.
der bough. or birds eggs out of a nest,
it shows itself to be as ingeD-
ious and skillful as any other
animal that has to live by its wits. Tel
get, for instanc', at the be~etle-grubs, it
scratches off the upper earth and then
sucks them IN out of the ground-an
application of a scientific process which
no animal without a predigious reserve
of air-fOrce could hope to accomplish.
When it wishes to empty an ant-hive
it knocks the top off with its paws. and
then, applying its mouth to the central
| gallery of the nest, inhales its breath
forcibly, thereby setting up such a ur-
rent of air that all the ants and their
eggs come whirling up into the mouta
like packets through a pneumatic tube.
When robbing bees it does not get
stung. and when after wild apricots or
acorns it BOT only balances itself with
all the judgment of a rope-walker. but
uses its weight very cleverly so as to
bring other boughs within reach Of its
curved claws. Nor while doing this
| does it conceal what it is about. On
the contrary. when sucking at an ant
heap or grub-hole it makes such a noise
that on a still evening it can be heard a
quarter of a mile of. and when up q
tree, and not alarmed, it goes smashing
about among the boughs IS if bears
were not only the rightful lords of the
manor. but as if there were no such
things as enemies in the world.--Bet

. Inquiry.

S~PHINGFIELD. ILL.,. March 70.
dispatch was received yesterday from
the Chief Veterinarian of the Agricultural
Department ut Washington, as follows:
KINsLEY, kAs., March l9, 1884.
To DIR. JOHN Il. RAUCH, Secretary ILL.,
nois State Board of Heaith-FOOt and
mouth disease at NeoshO Falls not
spreading: no contagious disease among
cattle in counties further west.
ID. L. SALMON.
This is the first authoritative intima.
ton that true foot and mouth disease ex-
lists anywhere in this country west OF
Maine, where it was introduced direct
from England. There is certainly none
in Illinois, and in the hope that DR..
Salmon's dispatch may have been iniudi.
ciously worded, Governor Hamilton has
caused the following categorical ques-
lions to be telcgraphed him: "Have you
found veritable foot and mouth disease
anywhere: If so, to what extent? In
what lOcalities?"

ST. PAUL, MINI, March II.
Winnipeg adviceS state that the agita-
ton in Manitoba, which originated with
the farmers, appears to be having a con-
tagiOus effect on the commercial repre-
sentatives throughout the province. The
general public are not aware of the strong
~undercurrent which is carrying or the
agitation, and the serious earnestness and
quiet determination awaiting for an OPP
perfume time for development. That the
business and agricultural interests are
undergoing a severe depression is no
longer a matter of argument, and unless
relief is provided by the Ottawa Govern
ment a crisis may be expected.
Persons in a position to know, and who
can sustain their assertions positively,
are aware of the organization of secret
societies in the city of Winnipeg, whose
purpose it is to have b. Ottawa government
accede to their demands, or falling in this,
to assume control of the Province and in.
sist on annexation. This society is COM
posed of influential and prominent bus
mess men who realize that their lifetime
accumulations are greatly jeapOrdized,
and their earnest and Subdued CONVEX
satiOn is emphatic and determinediy sug-
gestive.
At the farmers meeting in Winnipeg,
Saturday last, some of the men in the
paid service of the Government insisted
on controlling the convention, much to
the disgust of the farmers, who promptly
drove them from the hall.
General Manager Van HOrne's reply to
the farmers, to the effect that their action
was ill-adviSed, and that no concessions
by the railroad would be made until after
the fool-killer had visited Winnipeg, has
ouly served to fan the flame. The farm
ers in their resolutions advise against
emigration until the wrongs are correct
ed. This information has been telegraphed
all over Europe in the various languages,
and can not avoid restricting emigration.
1t has been observed by conversation
with Canadians, always loyal heretofore,
that there is a majority in favor of annex
alton, and unless their grievances are
heard and corrected exciting news from
that province may be looked for DON

CHICAGO, ILL, March II.
The rear guard of the St. patrick's Day
procession passed the corner of Twelfth
and State streets at $40 o'clock
this afternoon. A large crowd had Con-
gregated On the sidewalks. Fully seventy
people stood wedged together in a space
hardly twenty-five by eiAst feet. Under
meath this crowd was a wooden side
walk. AS the last of the procession
passed, the crowd began to mOve.
The sidewalk shook for a moment, the
cracking of rotten timbers followed,
was a crash, and the mass
of shrieking humanity was dropped into
the basement below, a distance of about
ten feet. Those on top of the heap began
scrambling out by standing on their less
fortunate companions. The wreck
was soon surrounded by a huge
crowd. The patrol wagons were sum-
mOned and the wounded, mostly women
and children were rescued. A large
number were removed to carriages and
wagons while the police took cafe Of
those who had no friends. A baby-car-
rage was demolished, but the baby, I'M
harmed, was hOisted out and delivered to
it's bruised and frightened mother. A
huge pile of hats, bOnnets, green
ribbons, shawls and a few crushed
flags were carried into the shoe store
and delivered to their respective owners.
One man had his teeth Jared out. The
only person seriously injured was a lady,
who, being in a delicate condition, suf-
fered considerably, and was removed o
her home in 3 carriage. Her name could
not be learned. The police report the
following persons injured:
Maggie keves, domestic, employed by
Mrs. Reidy ut 1868 Thirty-first street; frac-
ture of rightle
Maggie Tracy, domestic, at same num-
Der; right ankle brOkSn.
Bridget Farren, Of27l6 Dearborn street,
cut and bruised.
Ellen Reilly, slightly bruised about face
and body.
Alice Walsh, of Hyde Park, cut and
bruised.

pamphlet, and Angela sat, twisting
round and round a ~resplendent brace

light at the happiness of the young
people, had that morning presented her.

In the school system Of our state, and

BIZ iught our schools up 10 the high

i expected that the teachers and
all those expecting 10 teach will be
present and assist in this good work.
Old teachers often get careless and
Indifferent, and think there Is nothing
more for them to do but TO drag along
in the old rut Of former generations.
They do not realize that teaching
school properly Is one Of the great
questions OF the day and that IL takes
continued effort tO Keep up with the
progress Of the profession. Why do
young teachers often do better than
those who have been teaching for
years? The fact ~ easily explained.
They do not LET an opportunity pass
that will aid them in their work. Do
not complain about low wages As IN
other professions there is always room
and better wages on top We have a
good class of teachers in this county,
but we must work to hold the stand

trict officers are invited to visit the
Normal and select the teachers for
