LITTLE WOOL.

Before the election we were told great
deal about what the Democrats would do
if only they could "get at the books"
They have had access to the books all the
time-now they have possession. The
first "break" in the way Of exposition
does not "pan out" richly. Thus, before
the election if there was one Democratic
howl that was louder and kept up with
more persistence than another, it was that
concerning the enormous surplus in the
National treasury. We were told by
every Democratic Journal in the land that
Sl50,000,000 of surplus was growing green
with the damp Of vaulty age, and that it
had been wrung from an overtaxed people
1t made no sort of difference that Repubi
can papers explained that the story was &
lie, and that the so-called surplus is no
surplus but that outside of ten or twelve
millions the excess is pledged for specific
purposes by national action. 1t will be
remembered that the present Vice-Presi-
dent made campaign speech in Ohio in
which he worked off the hundred and fifty
million yarn with decided effect, and that he
coolly ignored the official statement of the
United States Treasurer, that in effect
fatty denominated him falsifer Even
since the close Of the campaign, Mr.. Ran
dali while visiting the South, told the
people there that we have S200,000,000
locked up in the Treasury against which
there is not dollar Of claim, and that il
must be trotted out and set about doing
good in the avenues Of trade and COM
merce. But the very first statement of the
new Secretary of the Treasury shows that
the real surplus in the Treasury is some
Sl2,000,000. After having had possession
of the books for month the new Secre-
tary finds nothing that smells of fraud, and
all he can do is to adopt new method OF
making the monthly debt statement.
Only the other day Democratic rumor
was afioat that gross frauds and Irregular
ties had been discovered in the Treasury
Department, all chargeable to the late Re
publican administration. But Secretary
Manning and his assistant, Secretary Fair
child, have fastened TO declare the story
false and to say that there is nothing
wrong in the Treasury Department,
Really it begins to look as if those fellows,
the Republicans, left something for the
Democrats to steal, after all.

CLARK CROSSING N. w. r. J, April 21st.-
A dispatch just received from Battleford
says a messenger has just returned from
Fort Pitt, and reports that the fort has
fallen into the hands of the Cree Indians.
Two policemen are known 10 have been
killed, and it is feared the whole garrison
was massacred. The commander of the
fort was Francis Jeffrey Dickens, third son
of Charles Dickens, the novelist.

The foreign news is not conducive to the
belief that the Afghanistan difficulty will
be adjusted without an armed struggle.
We can set down great deal of the chat
ter of the dispatches to news gatherer5'
anxiety to Guido, and the disposition to
make news sensational. Beneath it all,
however, there is an ugly substratum Of
contention between diplomats that may de-
velop into open rupture of peaceful rela-
lions between England and Russia. There

THE Democratic bosses are on their way
back from their unsuccessful Washington
pilgrimage. The chief of them has already
arrived and ii may be expected that the
local factionaI war in the party will now
be resumed with increased bitterness. 1t
is not at all probable that the bosses will
learn wisdom from the declaration made
by President Cleveland, that he would do
nothing for the party here until the lead
ers learn to behave themselves.

THE New York Herald, in speaking of a
possible war between Russia and England,
says: 1t needs no long argument to
prove that such war cannot go on with
out raising questions of great delieacy and
difficulty for us of the United States. We
shall be neutral, of course but the burdens
of neutrality are very serious, and often
hard to bear" Very true Our neutral
position will entail hardships upon us.
We are friendly with both nations, but the
public manifestations of sympathy will
offend one or the other people. We can
not wholly restrain the people who will
seek to violate neutrality laws. Some OF
our officials will blunder, and the Govern
ment will be called upon frequently to ex-
plain peculiar acts and situations. Nor
will the war shower upon us the benefits
now popularity anticipated We will not
be called upon for such supplies as the
press has led the people to expect, Some
lines Of manufacture will be stimulated.
Canned goods will be in demand, and
breadstuf!s advance little. Beyond that

IT is inezplicable to the Bourbon Demo-
crat how President Cleveland could con-
sent to the appointment of a negro to
Office. But it has been done, and great is
the wrath Of the dyed-in-the-wool Demo-
Gratis. The appointment has had one good
effect, that Of exposing the insincerity ON
the part Of the Southern Democrats, in
their declaration that they were anxious
to recognize the "eolored brother" as a po-
lrical equal, and to accord to him power
and position in the Democratic party.

The Age of the Mounds.

DR.. Cyrus Thomas, who is in
charge of the division on mound
exploration of the Bureau of Eth
nology, has in the last three years
obtained about Is, 900 specimens of
the handiwork Of the mound build
ers, the study of which, with the
survey of the mounds themselves
and their surroundings, is gradual
ly leading to a solution of certain
archeologic riddles which few
years ago seemed insolvable.
While some of the mounds are
doubtless very ancient, others
similar in character and equally
interesting have certainly been
built up since the advent of Eu-
ropeans. A string of sleigh bells
much corroded but still capable of
tinkling, was found among the flint
and bone implements in a mound
in Tennessee, while in Mississippi,
at the point where De Soto is sup
posed to have tarried, a Spanish
coat of arms in silver, one blade of
a pair of scissors and other articles
of European manufacture were
found in positions which indicated
that they were buried by the origi-
nal builders of the mounds.
In Georgia mound two copper
plates were found, upon which
were stamped figures resembling
the sculptures upon the Central
American ruins. The workman
ship is vastly superior to that dis
played on the articles of pottery,
stone and bone found in the
mounds, and their origin and pur-
pose are not yet explainable.
Aside from these plates nothing
has been found to indicate con-
nection between the mound build
ers and the Aztecs or the Pueblos,
while OH the other hand, there ap-
pears many reasons for not going
beyond the Cherokees and their
fellow red men of the Ohio and
Mississippi valley to find the origin
of these curious erections.
The purpose of the mounds still
remains in some cases a mystery,
but in others they are known TO
have been made sometimes for
burial places, and sometimes as
foundations for Indian villages
secure from the floods to which the
low lands were periodically sub

MIR. WHITMARSH KILLS A DOG

Mr.. Whitmarsh has been very
much annoyed by dogs lately, or
rather a dog. This dog the prop
erty of neighbor, was not an or
binary looking dog, being of a sort
of brindle salmon color, and pos
scssed Of one buttermilk looking
eye, while the other was a decided
dark green. Neither was he an
ordinary acting dog. for in addition
to the common trick of sucking
eggs, he seriously interfered with
Mr.. Whitmarsh's dinner on several
occasions; one time, having eaten
up all the butter on hand, another
time, carrying off a fine roast, Mr.
Whitmarsh had imported from,
Vicksburg, and on still anothc,
occasion, causing the Disappearance,
of a choice lot of blanc mango
which had been prepared for the
benefit of some friends of Mr.
Whitmarsh who dined with him
that day.
1t was this last straw that broke
the camels back, and Mr.. Whit
marsh concluded 10 kill the dog.
He therefore loaded up a shot
gun with a full dose of bucksho'.
and also loaded an old army mus
ket with ball cartridge. Forget
ting that he had loaded the musket
he put another cartridge in it. The
dog was of visiting that day and
Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1885-08-29

did not put in an appearance, but
along about eight o'clock III the
evening he came through the fence,
where picket was off, and began
looking around for something to
eat.
Mr.. Whitmarsh who was on the
look out for him, slipped out to the
fence and stopped up the place
where the dog had come III, and
returned to the house unseen.
Taking up the shot gun, he took
aim at the dog, and fired. The dog
tumbled over bowling, but he soon
got on his feet again, and made for
the hole in the fence. AS he ran,
Mr.. Whitmarsh left fly the other
barrel of the gun, but missed the
dog Catching up the musket he
waited for the dog to stop, and
then blazed away. He hit the dog,
| but he did not know it, for he went
spinning off the end of the gallery,
near which he was standing when
he fired, falling into a winterhouse
for flowers, which happened to be
convenient, while the musket went
revolving through the DINING
room window, and knocked water
cooler off of a stand, breaking the
faucet off, and splitting all the ice
water, (Mr. Whitmarsh made a
present of the cooler, to the TINES
office next day.
The dog while badly hurt, was
not killed, as Mr.. Whitmarsh per-
ceived when he climed out of the
tlowerhousc, and having made up
his mind to kill the dog, Mr.. Whit
marsh seized an axe from the wood
pile, and running up to the dog,
struck at him with it, but, the dog
lodged, and the handle Of the axe
striking a log lying there, broke off,
in the centre. Then Mr.. Whit
marsh got club, and proceeded to
beat the dog to death, which he
succeeded in doing, assisted by the
cook with a hatchet, and reinforced
by the hired man with AN iron
poker.
Mr.. Whitmarsh killed the dog
he also bought new window, he
has no water cooler, it will take
half days work to repair the
flower house, and he has an old
army musket that he is anxious to
give away.
