Dudes Compelled to Dance.


A story has just come to light in Can
ton, Ca, which affords much amuse-
ment to natives at the expense of three
Boston dudes, whose connection with
the opening of a Georgia marble quarry
had taken them there. Their names
are John Shellman, Edward Ammen
and Henry RoDdeau. They have had
much amusement with mountain hoos-
iers, and delighted in showing off their
superior accomplishments. While on
theway to Tates', Wednesday, they met
two Misunderstanding country boys who,
bare-footed and with but one suspender
over their shoulders, were trudging to
town. The Bostonians stepped in front
of them and ordered them to dance to
Massachusetts juba.
When the mountaineers became sat
isfied that the Bostonians were in earnest
they pulled out two ugly-looking re-
volvers and changed the programme by
ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking
to humor the joke and thus escape easily
they danced awhile, but the boys would
not let them halt. For five hours, under
cover of revolvers, the Bostonians
danced such a jig as has never before
been seen. When the time was up one
of the mountaineers exclaimed: "Now,
dang it, rum" The Bostonians were
only too glad to do so, and reached
town footsore and weary. They are
now seeking legal redress. J. World.

FARMERS AND. THIEVES.
Tho Two Professions which Arc Repro.
sentcd Among tho Birds. tHtN

Tho Two Professions whicn Arc Repro
sentcd Among tho Birds. ifN
Speaking Of tho prominent profes-
sions, there are Mt least two of them
farmer and thief-represented among
the birds. They destroy. countless
millions OF insects, and this well-known
fact, of which everybody is so tired,
contributes more toward the production
of supplies than all the work done by
farmers. 1t is known that the birds all
over the world eat more insects in one
day than all the human inhabitants
could count in year, and if they were
all to die the world would come to an
end, for so fast do insects multiply that
one season would pass and the next
season would not find leaf, bud blade
of grass, or other living thing on the
face OF the globe. The change would
be as though the sun had ceased
shining and perpetual winter enwrapped
the earth. This is what is meant by the
remark that birds eat great number
of bugs.
As for thieves, there are plenty of
them among the feathered class. They
steal chickens, pull up corn and wheat,
steal bright t-colored ribbons, and an
occasional piece of sparkling jewelry
left carelessly near an open window;
but, after all. that is no worse than
members of our own race do, and while
the human thief makes no reparation,
the bird-thief helps to keep the earth
from being depopulated; so what mat
ters chick or two, or diamond ring
which is of no use to the rest of the
worldp 1t is curious thing to see the
varieties of disposition and character
displayed by them; the quiet, shy, BASH
full thrush; the saucy, impudent wren;
the sly, prying bluejay; the boldness of
the hawk, or proud, warlike bearing of
game-cock.
The English sparrow, what queer
fellow he is-a foreigner who is so per-
fectly at home here that one would
think him the only native bird. He is
going to be comfortable in spite of all
opposition. He insists upon it. If you
lon't like it you can lump it. The spar
row is one of three birds which do not
belong here. He was brought to this
country fifteen years ago, during craze
which made people fancy that seed
eating bird would rid us of insect pests.
This was done against the advice of
well-informed persons, and now the in
vincible little bird has overrun the en-
tire country, and can laugh at legisla-
lures and pathological societies.

MoNoNeAHELA MINERS STRIKE
Which Promises to be the Greatest War
for Wages Eyer Fought by Colliers.

Which Promises to be the Greatest War
for Wages Ever Fought by Golfers.
PITTSBURGH, March 10.-The coal min
ers' strike which was inaugurated yesterday,
promises to be the greatest war for wages
ever fought by coliers in this district. Of
the twelve thousand miners in the Pitts
burgh district it is estimated that seven-
eighths are out for the three-cent rate. The
river and railroad miners have joined hands,
and it is confidentially asserted by the lead
ers in the movement, that the demand will
be almost unanimous by to-day Several
works are running but the diggers have
promised to come out just as soon as they
can put their rooms in proper shape, and
collect their tools. President Costello, with
number of agtators, are holding meetings
along the river urging all to make united
stand, and similar committee is working
along the railroads. The operators seem
determined not to accede TO the demands,
because they say "There is no demand for
coal in the lower markets." A bitter con-
test is predicted.

PSYCHOPATHY.
The New Disease Which Is Nowadays
Pleaded to Excuse Murder.

The New Disease Which Is Nowadays
Pleaded to Excuse Murder.
The acquittal at st. Petersburg of
Mile, Semenova. accused of being inn
plicated in the murder of the child
Sarah Becker, has been the cause of a
scene closely resembling that witnessed
at Paris when Mime. Clovis Hugues was
restored to her admiring friends The
reason, however, for the acquittal of
the Russian lady differs greatly from
that which saved Nine. Hughes. The
evidence allShrough the trial was dead
against Mile Semenoya, and it would
have Jared badly with her but for the
declaration of an expert, M. Balinsky'
Russian mad-doctor, who, pointing
out to the jury the hysterical bearing
OF the culprit, persuaded them that she
was suffering from ''psychopathy," "
and, therefore, morally irresponsible.
For the benefit of those who are as yet
ignorant of the meaning of psychopa-
thy--a term which before long will be
naturalized in our courts ts-we give Mr..
Balinsky's explanation of the new NAL
ady. "The psychopath, he says, lis
type which has only recently come
under the notice of medical science. II
is an individual whose every moral
faculty appears to be of the normal
equilibrium. He thinks logically, he
distinguishes good and evil, and he acts
according to reason. But of all mora
notions he is entirely devoid.
Besides his own person and his own in
terests, nothing is sacred to the
psychopath," etc., etc. The short and
long of it seems TO be that If egotism IL
fully developed in human being he be-
comes "morally irresponsible"-a very
convenient doctrine, to which, how
ever, mankind will have TO add rs {
corollary, that whenever fully devel
oped psychopath is discovered he shall
be Immediately hanged. d.-IaR Mall Ga

Mountain Quail.

For some time we have been trying
to trace the pedigree of the fifty-race
trotter Mountain Quail. The follow
ing is the first letter in reply and gives
valuable information:
WEST UNION, Iowa, July 10, 1885.
Mr.. Jos. BATTELL,
Dear Sir: Yours of June 18th re-
ceived in my absence. | will now an
swer it to the best of my ability.
Mountain QuaiPs pedigree is not clear
to get at, although we know her sire
and dam and dams sire. Her dams
dam was very nice mare, but could
not be traced. Mountain Quail's sire
was Widgeon CWeigeon), a low,
blocky chestnut horse, bred at Rock
ford, Ill. His sire was said to come
from Canada. Quail's dam looked
just like the Quail and in her teens
could trot better than three minutes.
Her sire was the Dewey horse, black
horse, about like Widgeon; could go
some. Mountain Quail, her dam and
granddam were raised bV Geo. Bills
lin, Oelwein, Iowa. Widgeon was
brought from Rockford, and always
owned by Geo. Miller, Oelwein, Iowa.
His colts all had some speed. The
Dewey horse was owned by Jap. Dew
ey, Fayette, all of Fayette Co., Iowa.
Respectfully yours,
o. c. TAYLOR.
P. S. o. E. Taylor says Dewey told
him his horse originated from the
Black Hawks from Vermont. We al
ways calculated the Quail got her speed
from the dams side, who only had
two colts, one a year younger than
Quail, full sister. The Dewey horse
lived to be lwenty-six years old. O.E.
Taylor says he could trot in three miu-
utes. Quail's sister | bought at nine
years old. She could trot in $3.50. She
was short-gailed and spoiled by Bills
Inns boy trying TO train her. There
were but few knew Quail. She could
trot in 2:20 and speed 300 gait 4C
rods, sure, and pull me 1856 pounds.
We have horse by the name OF
Fearnaught, record 2:29, raised in Can.
ada at or near Montreal. His sire was
taken from Vermont in 1852 (sire's
dam being with foal, said to be by
Black Hawk.)

-Sborsc Department.

The steadily-growing popularity OF the
Morgan horse. and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedgrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department to undertake the
collection and verihcation as far as possi-
ole, of Morgan pedigrees from the time OF
the original Justin Morgan to the present.
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will be given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will be published IN book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions of
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department All
