Twelve Pairs of Twins.

twins and of the twelve pairs of Twin
boys. Now l propose to tell you of what

years old, and when l was from IL to 10
years old my father, Samuel l.. Corning,
kept the one tavern at the centre of
Brookfield, Trumbul county, Ohio, the
first range of townships in the Western
Reserve, next to the state line of Penn

and halted at the tavern two wagons of

was 4 man, his wife, and twelve pairs of
twins, all boys. They wanted place to
cook their suppcrs. having their pro-

boys all slept in the wagons. but my

Washington Critic
The present Admin stratiOn will be no.
ted for its fondness for wholesome out
door sports.
Ii is difficult to determine who caught
the most and largest fish, the President,
in the Adirondacks, or Col. Villas, near
Lake Superior, though of course, Judge
Bryant says the latter did by n bigger
majority than the President was elected
Governor of New York.
Attorney General Garland is down in
Arkansas catching immense mud and
channel cats and killing deer. A letter
from him says that the other day he
stalked and casually knocked over two
big bucks.
by the way, q man who went to see
Mr.. Garland last week about an Aakan-
sas Post Office returned homo and was
arked by a friend what luck he had met
with "None Mt all, he replied. Gar
land thinks more of catching three
inch catfish than he does about all the

not much addicted to rod or gun, ARE very
fond of n good piece of horsefiesh, and
are both excellent riders. Secretary Bay
ard sits upright with a short stirrup,
while Secretary Lamar leans a little back
with light foot in the stirrup. This is
the difference in Northern and Southern
modes of horseback riding. The former
is more fashionable, but the latter is east
er on both horse and man. Secretary
Whitney, like all New York men. is al
SO fond of riding, but neither he nor
Secretary Bayard ever had the pleasure
of enjoying a fox hunt through Southern
uuderbrush, over ten-rail fences and nine
feet gullies, as Secretary Lamar has.
They may talk as much us they want to
about English fox chases and the wond-
erful leaps taken in the pursuit, but such
sport would be tame to the style
of chase familiar to the veteran fox hunt
ers of the South.
We do not think that Secretary Endi-
colt is much addicted to any kind of
sport, but Secretary Manning cate hes a
good many offensive partisans.

PrOpogating His Race.

Gainesville News.
1t is automatically stated that Thomas
James, n colored man residing between
Gainesville and Arredondo, has fami-
ly of fifty -four children, thirty three of
them being new at home with their faith
er. This great propagation of the African
race is now quite an old man; has had
three wives and, il is said, that three
were all living at one time. Only one of
them ID now living, and she claims
nineteen of the children. And yet some
people are SO foolish as to argue that the
day is coming when the colored race
will be extinct.

Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-03-21

LAST evening the DEMOCRAT published
a communication from Mr.. Charles A.
Clark with the caption, 'Let the Nor
mon Church Stand the Judgment OF
Time" The courtesy of the editorial
columns was given the article on account
of the position which Mr. Clark formerly
held on this paper. Many of Mr. Clark's
friends had desired full expounding of
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-03-21

his views on what is termed the Mormon
Problem and its Solution The article in
last nights issue was that exposition.
1t is an exposition and solution from a
religious standpoint and not from politi-
cal one. 1t is liberal orthodoxy endeavor-
ing TO become a guide to those who are
seeking the same end a peace and rest
and kingdom beyond this world.
The questions in Utah to be solved are
questions OF political and social nature,
and by this paper will be treated as such /;
and the merits and dement's of opposing
denominations are of no interest to 1T,
and we shall in no way endeavor to dis
cuss them on a religious or an anti
religious basis. The DEMOCRAT is neither
a denominational nor religious paper,
and in the future will reject all commu-
nications to it from all quarters, when
such communications are of a religious or
anti-religious nature theistical or atheis-
teal in their tendency.
TELEGRAMs from New York announce
that at last an effort is being made to
raise a fund sufficient TO complete the
pedestal for the Bartoldi Statue of Lib
erty. The manner in which New York
has neglected the matter is a shame and
a disgrace, and shows want OF apprecia-
ton of art and of generosity. Whatever
may be the merits of the statue,
it was uncomplimentary TO allow
the citizens of France to have
the statue begun and completed and
ready for presentation and not be ready
TO receive it and to have it erected, but to
be wholly indifferent. In fact it was
more, it was disgraceful; and late
apology is always a bad amend. The
very size of the thing would lend it dig
nifty and majesty whatever might be its
faults otherwise. A tardy justice is bet
ter than no justice; but it will be long
before another nation will be willing to
show its friendliness for us in the manner
France has.
Economic Tract No. XVI, is the latest
published by the Society for Political
Education, and is by Robt. Giffen, L. I.
D., President of the British Statistical
Society. 1t deals with the progress of
the working classes during the last half
century. The tract show marked
improvement in the conditions
of the laboring classes, both in
health and maetrial welfare Following
these great essentials to all progress, it
shows an increase Of education and a cor
responding decrease of crime; while the
laboring classes are better fed, better
clothed and better housed. 1t plainly
shows what is only denied by the eulo-
gists of times long since past-that every
thing is better to-day, whether the thing
be spiritual, moral or material; and that
mankind advances and does not 60 back
ward. 1t is evolution and improvement; !;
it is progress.

PEOPLE generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers aud close OBJ
servers, have but faint conception OF the
magnitude and influence the press Of this
country has attained. From q careful ex-
animation of the advance pages Of the 1885
edition Of the American Newspaper Direc-
tory, issued May LIST, by Geo. p. Rowell &
Co., OF New York, It appears that there are
l4,147 newspapers and periodicals published
In the United States and Canada; OF these
the United States has 1878, an average of
one paper for every 1897 persons. In 1884
the total number Of newspapers was less by
1928 than at present, and while the gain this
year Is not so marked a In some previous
years, IL is still considerable. Kansas shows
the greatest increase, the number being 10,
while Illinois follows with gain Off. II
10 curious 10 notice that New York, the
scene Of so much political activity during the
last campaign, should have only about one
third as many new papers IS the State Of
Pennsylvania. As an index to the compare
growth and prosperity Of different sections
Of the country, especially the Territories,
the number Of new papers forms an interest
Ing study, and may we'll occupy the atten-
ton Of the curious.

THE NORTHWEST WAR.
A SoRTIE FROM BATTLEFoRD AGAINST
PONDMAKER.
Middleton to Try Conclusions Again With RieI

SASKATCHEWAN LANDING, May 5, (via
Swift Current, N. w. T.)-The mali carrier
has Just arrived from Battleford with the
following dispatch, dated May Sd: "a flying
column of 300 men from Battleford had an
engagement with Pondmaker's forces Of 900
Indians, at his reserve, lasting from .. m.
to noon yesterday. The troops lost eight
killed and twelve wounded. The Indian loss
Is estimated at fifty. The troops covered,
including the engagement, seventy miles,
fought the battle and returned inside thirty
hours. The men behaved magnificently.
The list of killed are: Corporals Laurie
and Sleightand, Bugler Burke, all of the
Northwest Police; privatss Osgood aud Rog-
ers, of the Guards; Dobbs q. Coy, Bugler
Faulkers, c Company.

WINNIPEG, May Accommodation with
points north of Humboldt Is still interrupted.
Dispatches from Middleton had to be
brought by courier to Humboldt, making
the news several days late. The latest dis
patches from this source state that the
steamer Northcote has been extricated and
reached Clark's Crossing yesterday. The
messages say further that Middleton is now
having plenty of ammunition and supplies.
An advance will likely be made at once. II
is expected that the rebels will offer battle
at Batoucho. Middleton has two Calling
guns, with which he expects to do deadly
execution. News of another engagement is
daily expected.

CATTLE QUARANTINE.

In view Of the prevalence Of plsuro pneu-
monia in number OF the Eastern States and
the fact that many cattle are new being
shipped into Montana for grazing purposes,
Governor Carpenter last week issued proc
lamation under the Act passed last winter
establishing . quarantine Of ninety days
against oil cattle coming from Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, District Of Columbia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois
and the Indian Territory, the pleuro pnes-
menia being known to exist in all Of them.
The cattle imported from oil other States
and Territories are to be inspected by the
Territorial Veterinary Surgeon before ad-
mitted to the Territory. 1t appears the Act
was very oppsrtunely passed giving this au-
thority, ss pleuro-pneumonia is prevailing
and increasing in many localities and there
is no way to suppress 1t except to kill the in
fected cattle. II IL not believed there IL any

nate for Montana II this cattle plague can be
excluded from Montana, and the course
pursued to accomplish this purpose Is very
proper one. II 10 one of the cases where an

Our readers will remember when the Her.
aid published an item of q mans having

ton Of his only remaining leg. A strange
circumstance csincident with that accident
has since been brought to light through reli-
able testimony.
was named Quinn, and lived down on the
Yellowstone with his wife and daughter.
Having gone 70 Butte he put up at q lodging
house there for the night, and was assigned a
room in the second story. During the night
he experienced an attack Of nightmare, In
which he thought that his daughter was
nenaced by some horrible injury and called
on him for assistance. In his frantic en-
beavers to reach her he leaped from the win
dow, with the before me ntioned results. Sub
sequent testimony has shown that On that
very night, at the same hour, almost the pre-
else moment, when the fathers dream came
to so painful termination, the daughter, at
her home on the Yellowstone, over 800 miles
from Butte, committed suicide by taking
morphine. There is no doubt new in the
fathers mind that ut the very moment he
was bsset by this horrible nightmare, his
daughter administered to herself the fatal
dose that ended her life What led to the
suicide is unknown, as the young lady. who
was sixteen years old, was Of bright, cheer
full disposition, and up to the time Of her
death nothing unusual was noticed in her
conduct
The mother, after burying her daughter
under such distressing circumstances, was
summoned to the bedside of her husband in
Butte. obeyed the call and Is now there In
attendance upon him. Mr.. Quinn has now
lost both legs, the amputation Of one having
been caused by an accident received In .
mine some years ago.

.MIDDLEToN's FIRST BRUSH WITH
REL.
Some Interesting Details of the Collision.

| Some Interesting Details of the Collision.
WINNIPEG, May 1.-The SUMS special
with Middleton says: l had . chance to day
for talk with Maj. Boulton, who Is in COM
mand Of the mounted scouts, and therefore
nearly always at the front. In reply TO
questions he gave me the following account
of how the fight commenced. He was riding
in advance of the troops, with sixteen men,
eight on each side of the trail, and keeping
q close lookout for any indications of the
presence Of the enemy. He saw thirteen
camp fires and . fresh trail leading north.
He reported tho mattar to Gen. Middleton,
and Capt. Johnston, with four men, followed.
Three minutes after firing commenced, and
Boulton following sharp after Johnston, saw
forty mounted rebels, who jumped off their
horses and ran to cover, when all fred vol
ley. Boulton's men dsmounted and re-
turned the fire. D'Archy Baker, who has
died since, was struck twice, and fell of his
horse. The rebels retired toward the gully,
still firing.
during the fight, but one OF our scouts saw
him riding off after all was over. His di>
recting hand was plainly seen, however, as
nobody else on Riel's side cosld have ar
ranged the rebel plans or picked the ground
so we'll. The rebel movements appeared TO
DO directed by long, low whistles. General
Middleton said 1t was like the piping Of
boatswain. Occasionally they could be
heard shouting to each other to "keep back"
ego on" "ths way" sire lower" "fre
higher" etc., but during the serious part Of
the day they fought In grim silence. The
rapidity with which some Of them loaded
their shotguns with the old fashioned pow
der horns and paper wadding was truly mar
velous. A few Of them who had Winches-
ters ran from one part Of the ravine to the
other, strengthening their line IS circun-
stances directed. Gen. Middleton says they
are finer skirmishers and bush fighters than
he ever imagined them to be. Riel was not
In or near the fight a. far as We can learn.
The scents say he was at Batoche's all day,
getting his reserve force ready. 1t Is now
said that he is quite insane. The buckshot
has made very ugly anc painful nesh wounds.
Old style leaden balls were also fred with
considerable effect. Had the rebels been
armed with Sniders they would have wiped
us out in short order from the shelter they
occupied.
