Had the boys tarried at Penckee, deer
meat would have been a drug in our camp.
Christ Markey don't like the back-ac-
ton baptism administered at Park Lake
by Rev. j. G. Bonner.
Markey, Bonner and zimmerman con-
tracted to furnish fish for the camp, but
'threw up" the first day.
The price of deer meat about Park Lake
and Ashland had not materially changed
when we left.
The next time Sheriff Peters sits down
in the woods, he will place his trusty rifle
within his grasp.
Debates on the course of a dog after a
wounded deer, by Miller, Mikesell and
Thompson, will be renewed in Eaton
after the 18th inst.
Last Monday the saddle of a large
Buck Of over 200 pounds, killed by Phil
ip Miller at Spencer, Wisconsin, was re-
ceived here. Philip must be in luck.
Phil. Miller and Nose Thompson had
the old adage OF first catch the rabbit
before you cook it," sadly brought to
their remembrance on the evening of the
25th. The deer was 'poor' any how!
Bro. John Longnecker should not for
get to take a calendar with him the next
time he goes out. Ii it hadn't been for
Capt. Mikescll he would have infringed
on the Sth commandment.

Another Story of Gordon's Dealt

From the London Times.
The following extract from a private
letter just received from Capt. Il. w.
Lovett, who is serving with tire troops in
Egypt, appears in the Oslgestry AdCer-
Hser: "shellal, Assounan, May %, 1885.
Last night was starting for my ride,
when they came to tell me that a refugee
had just come into camp; so l sent for
him and had an interview which was
most interesting. He was one OF Cor
dOn's Egvptian soldiers and remained ins
KhartOum tor month after it fell, and
he says that he actually saw GOrd0n's
death. When the Mahd's people were all
I'm the town Gordon ran down TO the river,
probably intending TO push of in a
boat. but he was caught by several of the
Arabs, who told him ne must acknowledge
the Mahdi or be killed. On his refusal
they killed him with their swords, and
his head was stuck up in the streets for
five DAYS, each Arab as he passed pulling
a bit of hair ont and spitting in his face.
My friend says that all the women and
children were spared and kept for slaves,
and the only people who were killed were
two Egyptian regiments and one regiment
of SOudanese, who opposed the entrance
of the Arabs. THIS man ana the remain
ing soldiers, seeing that the game was up,
took no active part, and consequently
were notklled. asked the man how he
got away, and he said that the MahdPs
people would give them nothing 70 eat,
and that they were starving, so be
left as camel driver 10 slave merchant,
aud came co through Berber which, be
says, Is burned and com pletely destroyed)
10 Abu Hamad. lie then struck the Nile,
a little north Of KorOsk0, and came on
here, so that / was the first Englishman
TO see him. He told me that they were all
starving IN khartoum, aud that after they
had finished all the horses and donkeys
Gordon used 10 give them gum and the In
side of pQlm trees to chew. There was an
evident ring Of truth about the man, who
stood to attention as near as he could,
being bent nearly double from his hard
SHIPS, and as thin as a rail-. Besides, he
could have no object in lying. and would
not tell any story Of it, but only answer
questions"

a penitentiary. But the ease with which he
had seen other dishonest bank officers escape
after pundering their banks removed the
only consideration which had exercised
restraining influence upon him. He thought
he could steal and escape the penalty. The
outcome has apparently demonstrated the
correctness of his view, for there is little
doubt that he is now in Canada beyond the
reach of American laws.
While our extradition treaty with Eng
land does not cover crimes like SCOTS we
may expect the frequent repetition OF them.
By the existing treaty the restraining infu-
ence of the fear of punishment is virtually
taken away, for an embezzler of average
shrewdness can easily get beyond the reach
of the law before his crime is known even
to anybody but Himself. It is deeply dis
graceful to whoever is responsible for it that
man with hundreds of thousands Of ilgot-
ten gains in his pocket can within the space
of few hours put himself beyond the reach
of all danger OF the law. Such condition
of things works injury upon the country
from which the criminal goes and still great
er injury upon the country to which he
comes, and for the welfare of both the
United States and Canada 1t ought to cease

Ruined Serinagur.
An Interesting City in Wonderful Coun.
Devastated by Earthquakes.

Serinagur, the city destroyed by the re.
cent earthquake in India, is the capital of
Cashmere, the principal native tributary
state of Northern India. The country
formed part of the great Sikh kingdom of
Runjeet Singh, the old Liou of Lahore. On
the overthrow of the Sikhs in 1S46 it passed
by right of conquest into British possession.
A Sikh chief, Gholab Singh of Jammu, who
had remained neutral during the war, offered
to purchase Cashmere from the government
of India, and hold it as tributary state.
The price was fixed at Is laos of rupees,
sum equal to about 81, 500, 900 in our money,
and the yearly tribute at horse, ~ shawls
goats and three pairs of shawls. 1t was a
miserable price, for the RuDieet Singh had
drawn revenue of nearly 100000 per
annum from Cashmere, but the Indian gov
eminent closed with the offer, partly because
it was in sore need of money at the time,
but mainly on the principle of bird in the
hand. So Gholab Singh became maharajah
of Cashmere, aud established his capital at
Serinagur, where his son, Runbir Sin, nov
reigns as his successor. Sernagur is credit
ed with population of some 100000 The
city is situated on the river Jhelum, in the
heart of the renowned vale of Cashmere, 1t
is very irfegularly built, extending along
both banks of the river, which are connected
by five bridges. Canals lead from the
stream in all directions, SO that there is
hardly spot in the city or its vicinity that
cannot be reached by boat. From this pecu-
liarity the city is known as the Venice of
oil hau ola h1n.1 Ma IL M
OF Asia, owing to fancied resemblance be-
tween the Jhelum and the Arno. Serinagur
presents very fine appearance from little
distance, but nearer view goes far in dis
solving the charm. The houses are i'll adap-
ted TO Withstand an earfhquakes shock, for
they rise up directly from the river or the
canals, and are mainly built with their brick
walls supported in wooden frames. A recent
traveller, abiding to this point, says: "Be-
ing often three stories high and in most
ruinous condition, the walls present any,
thing but straight lines, and it is a marvel
that many of the houses continue standing
at ALL" The British residency and the bum
galows, provided free of charge for European
visitors, are above the city on the right bank
of the river. The chief public buildings are
the Jumma Mesjid, or Great Mosque, which
it is claimed can hold 10000 persons, and
the palace of the maharajah overlooking the
river. Within the precincts of the palace
there is temple with large pagoda root.
and this roof is covered with thin plates of
pure gold-not gided dome, but golden
one. On the east of the city, and connected
with it by the Sont-i-Ko, or Apple Tree
canal, is the famous Dial of Serinagur, lake
some five miles long and three miles broad,
bounded on one side by giant trees and en-
circled by lofty mountains on the other. In
this lake are the strange floating gardens of
The Portland daily press., 1885-06-06

A correspondent of the New Orleans
Times Democrat says that ''Tbe incompet-
ency and neglect of Republican administra-
lions are accountable for the unhappy con-
dition of society in Utah." This is news.
We have always been laboring under the i'm
preston that the Mormons settled in Utah
and praeticed plural marriage some time be-
lore the Republicans took charge of the ma
tional government, and that polygamy be-
came firmly rooted while the Democracy was
in power. The correspondent should have
kept truth on bis side and said that the COM
potency of Republican administrations. par
ticularly of the last one, is accountable for
the present unhappy condition of Mormons
In Utah.
