SINCE the Fourth of July eleven per-
sons, mostly little boys, have died in
Chicago from lockjaw, resulting from
the use of the supposed harmless paper
percussion cap toy pistols. When the
paper cap explodes it is very common
for little piece to drop on the hands
of the holder of the pistol and burn
him a trihe. Experience shows that
this little burn is poisonous and unless
Immediately cared for is very likely to
result in lockjaw. Hundreds of lives,
take the country through are sacrificed
by this little weapon, which was origi-
nally hailed with delight by parents be-
cause it enabled the small boy to make
a noise on Independence day, in safety.
Now that the exceeding dangerous
character of the toy is known the sale
ought to be forbidden by law and
the barbed point arrow for cross guns
should receive the same treatment.

wild Cats and COOns,

During the past winter L. u. Curry
has had his own fun trapping on the
Some time in February he
set his traps on St. Anthony's nose,
and his first catch was wild cat that
weighed 80 pounds. The cat was
caught by it's right fore foot, and one
hour later it would have gnawcd itself
loose. AS Curry was approaching the
trap, which was concealed from view
by the stump of tree to which it was
attached, he all at once heard a terrible
commotion, and at the same time saw
dead leaves flying in every direction
as a large animal sprang at his legs, and
had the chain been ten inches longer he
might have been seriously injured;
but as it was Pops dander was up,
and, clutching large hickory stick in
his hand, he proceeded to belabor the
animal until it gave up the ghost, not,
however, until it had torn part of the
leg from his pantaloons and inflicted a
deep scratch on his hand.
Some six days afterward, on again
visiting his traps in the same locality,
there being some three inches of snow
on the ground, the strange sight pre-
septed itself of dead a1f-grown wild
kitten and raccoon in the same trap.
The coon was of the black variety,
very rare to sportsmen. and very
ferocious. Both animals would appear
to have been accidentally entrapped at
the same time, probably while fight
ing each other. After much trouble
the coon was despatched and brought
to the village and placed in the hands
of Mr.. George Durrin, the crack rifle
shot of our immortal team, who has
stuffed and mounted the animal as a
trophy Of Pop Curry's prowess as a
hunter-by far the mightiest in this
socfinn

A Boston legal authority says that
the young lady who has been Tilted has
the right to read the recreant's letters
in her breach of promise suit, but she
must not weave them into a novel and
copyright them. That privilege belongs
to the gentleman. She may, however,
demand the return of her own letters as
her property. This is not the popular
idea, bnt there have been many decis-
ions. George Washington kept copies
of his letters and bequeathed them to
his nephew, who had them published.
A compiler of another biography of
Washington copied them. There was
a lawsuit. The Judge said that Wash
ington did not part with the ownership
by sending the letters to his correspond
cnts, and he declared this doctrine ap-
plicable to all letters, whether of litera-
ry value or not.

18th and found it slightly infamed. The
general was more comfortable at that date
than he had been for some time.
Gen. Grant slept eight hours'o on the night
of the 18th and awoke refreshed. His en-
forced idleness has bad mental effect and
his physicians are now studying up some
scheme to occupy his mind.
Gen. Grant was weaker on the 2Oth, than
he had been for several days but otherwise
there was no material change.

AFFAIRS IN MANITOBA.
NORTHWESTERN NEWS.

Col. Gray, for the Northern Pacific, and
Mr.. Morrison, for the settlers, have made
strong argument against the revocation Of
Acting Commissioner Harrison's order in re-
gard to the terminal Of the Northern Pacific
land grant at Walla Walla junction. The
land office plats, for some unaccountable
reason, according to all concerned, show
that the grant should terminate at an acute
angle across the general direction of the
road. This angle deprives the railroad
company of 96, 600 acres of land. They wish
to have the terminal line run at angles
across the track, and so include the $4,000
acres. OF this land 1000 acres are still pub
lie, 1900 are claimed by settlers, who have
not proved up, 10000 acres belong to settlers
who have bought of the railroad company
at $500 an acre. The railroad company
and the settlers who have purchased of
them object to the revocation by Gen.
Sparks of the order by Mr.. Harrison. The
decision of the case rests with Assistant
Secretary of the Interior jerks.
The 3Gth Wisconsin regiment celebrated
the twentieth anniversary of the return
home by a meeting at Madison on the 14th.
A permanent regimental organization was
perfected by the election of the following
officers for the ensuing year: President,
c. g. Warner, Dane comfy; vice president,
Il. NJ. Brown, Jefferson county; secretary,
George W. Raymer, Dane county; treas
urer, George Weeks, Dane county. A
motion was adopted to hold the next re
union at Madison, June 8, 1886, the ami
versary of the battle of Cold Harbor, in
which the regiment fought, and on the
same date each succeeding year.
Land Commissioner Sparks has rendered
a decision affirming the right of entry under
the public land laws, and decisions of the
supreme court of the United States of lands

ton of the general land Office for railroad

JOHN w. ROACH, the great ship
builder of Philadelphia, has made an
assignment for the benefit of his cred
.tors. The failure is attributed to the
refusal of Secretary Whitney to accept
the Dolphin and to the mental condition
which the anxieties of business has pro-
duced in Mr. Roach. His ship yards
at Chester, Pa, suburb of Philadel-
phia, are the largest in the country.
He has built ia iron ships at cost of
over fifty million dollars. The failure
will throw $500 workmen out of en-
ployment. Mr.. Roach himself declines
to make any statement but his sons say
he is completely crushed by the busi-
ness complications arising from the de-
cision of the attorney general that the
government has no contract with him.
He was engaged in building three gov
ernment vessels besides the Dolphin.
His sons say that no one will lose a
dollar by the failure.
