Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the nom
inee Of the Woman suffragisus for
President, is described by a Wash
ington correspondent as "a petticoated
lawyer, perambulating the streets on
wheels, with long red stockings, bob
bing up and down the pedal propel-
lers of a tricycle." One would ex-
pect that even in this campaign of
personal charges the nominee of the
women would be one against whom
no breath of suspicion could be blown.
Yet it is not 80, and the c%orrespon-
dent above quoted goes on to tell the
following: sBelva was the counsel,
or g~G-between, for a fair Washington
female known as Ada -, who sup
posed she had a claim against the
only Texan in Congress. Belva com
menced with double-barreled epistles
upon the victim Tom Ochiltreel, and
a settlement was proposed. Belya
would not allow the fair Ada to show
up or participate in the legal deal.

self off. BelYa retained 800 Of the
$500 paid by 0eehiltree as her fee
And now the fair Ada declares thai
the feminine candidate for the Presi
ldency is a fraud, and that the objec,
of Eelva's nomination ia simply ar
advertising dodge to catch ladies like
herself who have Congressiona'
sweethearts. Ada insists that Belva
shall raturn $50 of the 800 she kept
out Of the love tariff paid by Ton
Oehiltree." Will Miss Anthony

Y1suro Pneumonia In Illinois.

Tho Chicago Breeders Gazette says: At
last the unwelcome truth is forced upon us that
contagious pleuro- pneumonia las found a
Judgement in tho prairies of Illinois. The ev-
idence Of its baleful presence in not less than
five Jersey herds in Illinois is overwhelming
and grave fears are felt that the extent of the
infection has only dawned upon u.s. In view
OF these developments the following order has
been issued
Department of Agriculture, Washington,
Aug: 70, 1854 To the cattle Owners of the Unit
ed States: Owing to the existence of d dis
ease supposed to be pleuro- pneumonia, in sew
eral herds of Jersey cattle in the State of Hi
nols, l hereby request owners of all herds of
jersey cattle in the United States, into which
new animals have been introduced since Jan.
l, to stop the shipments of cattle until after Oct
l. The disease seems to have been introduced
by animals sold at Virginia, Cass coun-
animals we're t wder dst af nn tbro hs1o
out the Western States. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that persons owning cattle trac-
ing to this sale, and all others having cat
tie affected with disease of the lungs, will at
once communicate with DR.. De Salmon, chief
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, and clearly state
tho condition Of these herds, and the symptoms
OF disease The attention of owners of cattle
and railway and other transportation COM
Panles is called to section of the act establish
!!rg the bureau of animal industry, which makes
it = misdemeanor punishable by fine of not
less than 500 nor more than 5000, or by
imprisonment of not moro than ono year, or
both, for shipping cattle with a contag ious, in
fictitious, or communicable disease, and cs-
pecislly the disease known as plcuro-pneu-
monia, from one state or territory into another
The condial cooperation of the state authori-
ties and all persons interested in the welfare of
our cattle Industries is earnestly desired in or
der to avert danger which menaces the herds

1Grs. Parnell's Mission.

In Boston, a few days ago, Mrs. Parnell of
Ireland, held conference with q number of
Catholic bishops and leaders of the Irish Ma
tional league concerning the means by which
the coming political contest in this country
could be turned to the advancement of Irelands
cause. 1t is understood Mrs. Parnell repre-
sented her son at the conference. Mrs. Parnell
submitted details Of q scheme for the benefit of
Irish home industry which she stated had been
conceived by her son.
Mr.. Parnells proposition was that direct
offer be submitted to tho political parties of
tho @ United States as follows: If, in accordance
Ireland in America by Americans, one of the
political parties will incorporate plank in
Irish manufacture free of duty, specifying
such goods IS cannot be manufactured else
where than in Ireland, and the importation of
which will not complete with American pro-
ductions, then such party will receive the or
ganized support of the Irish American vote
Even if direct organization is not made, yet
the Irish vote can be directly influenced in
favor of the party which shall champion the
cause Of Irish industry:

A correspondent says that Barnum
did more for Shakespeare's home than
any living man. This sounds passing
strange, but it is true. If it had not
been for Barnum the birthplace of the
great bard would not be in state of
preservation as it is to-day. When
Barnum was in England in 1847 in
search of curiosities, he learned that
Shakespeare's birthplace was for sale,
and it was proposed to tear it down and
put store on the site. The great show
man thought he saw a chance to secure
a prize, and at once offered what was
equivalent to $13 900 for the house. His
idea was to bring the structure bodily
to America and put it on exhibition.
The owner of the house wanted SIS, 900
for the property. and struck at that
price. Before Barnum had o chance to
raise his offer. several Englishmen, ad
mirers of the immortal William ,conclud-
ed it would be shame for the house to go
out of Stratford, and accordingly pur-
chased it at once.

The Matter Of Thirty Years.

In 1854 John Hallock, a prominent
farmer of the town of Mount Hope,
Orange county, New York, went away
from home and never returned. He left q
wife and infant daughter. Mrs. Hallock
long ago made up her mind that her
husband was dead. She never married
again. A few months ago Mrs. Hallock,
who has lived near the village for sew
eral years, was notified that John Hal
lock had died in Spencer, Tioga county,
New York, and left S. to his daughter,
Mrs. Carr. The rest of of his property
was left to his widow, who lived on the
farm on which Hallock died. This led
to an investigation by Mrs. Hallock.
She learned that her husband had mar
ried lady in Tioga county over thirty
years ago and that she was ignorant
that he had another wife living. The
Orange county widow at once brought
suit to recover her dover right in her
deceased husbands property. Hallock'e
executors claimed that he had procured q
divorce from his first wife in 1856 in
Kentucky, but last week offered to
settle with Mrs. Hallock No. by pay.
Ing her 81, 500. She accepted the offer.

Living on His Dead Comrade.

Winnipeg Special: w. B. Mcbride
of Chicago, who has arrived here from
q trip to the Rocky mountains, brings
word that a man named William Owens,
California miner, was found by some
railway navvies near Kicking Horse
river q few days ago in q famished and
partially demented condition. Owens
said he started June 13, with Joseph
Williamson, from Kamloops on a pros
pecting trip, expecting to strike the
Columbia river, but their supply of
provisions gave out before reaching
there. They travelled for six days and
a half without food, when Williamson
laid down and died. Owens then cut
strips of flesh from his dead companions
legs, which he ate sparingly, and pro-
ceeded on his tramp. He had been liv-
ing six days on human flesh when found
and still had a quantity of the dried
flesh in an old handkerchief. He was
very weak and emaciated, and told his
story with difficulty. He repeated the
horrible details on several occasions
and all who heard him are con-
WINGED that the story is true. He had
a large roll of bills with him. The police
have taken the matter in hand and will
investigate it.

Captain James II, an old Portland
shipmaster, told the following ghost
story to a citizen: He said that one
night, on the voyage from which he had
just returned, while lying off tho Bat
terry at New York, waiting for the crew
to come on board, he heard some one
on top of the house calling: James T
-" Now, this was not only the cap
tain's name, but also that Of his son,
who was his mate ON this voyage. Only
the captain, mate and steward were OF,
board, and on hearing the voice they all
went on deck, but saw no one. Tho
stewards dog, which slept in front of
the cabin door, lay quiet on his rug.
The next day the bark sailed for Rio
Janeiro. and several strange occurrences
took place on the passage. One
morning his son, the mate, said to him
Captain, the ship is haunted. turned
out on my watch at four o'clock in the
morning, and as I went out of the cabin
door saw some one in white, but be-
fore could distinguish whether it was
male or female it disappeared around
the man mast. The steward said he
saw it also and was frightened. Some
days after this the steward called the
captain and told him the mate had not
yet come on deck. The captain went to
the mates stateroom, and on opening
the door saw the mate apparently laugh
ing at him, but on taking hold of him
he found he was dead. From his dis
torted countenance it appeared that he
had been frightened to death. Several
other strange occurrences happened on
board, and on arriving at Rio the stew
ard left the vessel on account of feeling
that she was haunted. Strange noises
continued to be heard on board, such as
the working of the windlass in heaving
the anchor, but on going forward no
one was to be seen. Now comes the
strangest part of the story. During the
captains absence on this very voyage
another son Of his, Samuel T., ar
rived home from a voyage, and re-
marked that he would go down for his
dunnage. He came back with it and
lay down for nap. Not coming down
to tea, some of the family went to call
him and found him dead. This was
about the time that the mate and stew
ard saw the figure in white.-Portland

The Oldest of ENGLISH Familiar.

The Oldest Of English Families.
Lord Palmerston's country residence
is well known to have been near Rom
sey, Hants. In the course of his &C.
customed rides in the New Forests he
saw a laboring man burning lime and
entered into familiar conversation with
him, asking to be obliged with his sur
name. The man replied that it was
Purkiss. Now, this was the reply that
was sought, and Palmerston exclaimed.
II thought as much" He accordingly
asked the man if he was descended from
the lime-burner of that name who carted
away the body of William Rufus after
his unfortunate fall by the arrow of Sir
Walter Tyrrel. The man answered in
the affirmative. "Then give me your
hand" said his lordship, "for though
you are a laborer, I must not forget
that you are brother Hampshire man /"
