MOSQUITOES In Alaska.

There are mosquitoes even in cold
Alaska. Speaking of them a recent traveller
in that part of Uncle Sans domain says:
81 camped for some days on the Renal
river, near Lake Skeloka, of which this is
the outlet, and of all the poisonous, per-
sistant pests that ever lived l found here
in the form of mosquitoes and black flies.
The mosquitoes resemble those We have
East, but to correspond with everything
else in that land OF wonders, they are built
on a much greater scale. They have a pro-
boscis that / will wager could drill, saw
and chop a hole through the hide of Jumbo
in less time thar the most expert and able
bodied Jersey mosquito could tap the cuti-
Gle of a three-months' baby. The mo-
ment the Alaska mosquito lights on you
you begin to itch and swell. His bite on
me was 30 poisonous that after my first
hours experience with him l was unable to
get around. The Indian who was with me
burned some native herb which had q pun
gent odor, and anointed me with some
kind of oil. The smoke kept the mosqui-
toes away from me and the oil removed the
poison. The natives do not seem to mind
these pests"

CANADA.

Canada just now has two elephants on
her hands. She is saddled with a rebel
lion of half-breeds and Indians, which is
taxing her for its suppression;
and she is loaded down with unfinished
and costly internal improvements, some
of which are wholly Government under
takings, while others merely receive a
subsidy from the Dominion. The heav.
lest of these loads is the Canadian Pacific,
q great enterprise, but one of doubtful
e~xpediency from a purely fiscal stand
point. With a debt rapidly increasing
from these two cause and with depres.
sion and diminishing revenue, Canada
has a poor outlook. We wonder whether
the majority of her inhabitants can
honestly say that the national policy"
has attained its end.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
A Street ARRAY Which Promises to Result in
the Death of Two Men.

New YORK, May 14-About $50 tonight an
alteration occurred between Larry" O'Brien,
well-known broker, and George Trueman a
sporting character belonging to Chicago. The
former was probably fatally stabbed and the lat
ter was shot twice The ARRAY was the
outcome of a quarrel. Tonight O'Brien
met Trueman on the corner of Broadway and
Twenty seventh street, and accused him of at
tempted black-mail. The remark enraged True
man, who gave utterance to some abusive Ian
guage. His remarks so exasperated O'Brien
that he lifted his cane and struck the other man
heavy blow on the head Without warn
ing Trueman drew a murderous looking bowie
knife and plunged it into his opponents abdo-
men, infiicting serious wound. The policeman
Immediately arrested Trueman, and while he
was in custody pistol shot heard, and a
bullet from OBriens pistol lodged in Trueman's
body. Both men were taken to the Twenty
ninth precinct station, and from thence re-
moved TO the New York Hospital. The knife used
has blade foot long, and an inch and a
quarter wide. O'Brien declined to take any an
esthetic while his wound was being sewed up,
and both the men INDUCED in recrminations
while their wounds were being dressed in the
same ward in the hospital Tonight both men
were resting quietly. but the result of their i'll
juries is likely to be fatal in each case.

THE BELT DIVORCE SUIT.
Answer of the Defendant to the Complaint
Recently Filed by His Wife.

BALTIMORE, May A-Eugene M. Belt, prom
inent merchant of this city, to-day filed his
answer to the divorce suit recently entered by
his wife. Mary Alice Belt. He admits his mar
riage TO her on Oct Is, 1884, at Morristown, N
j., and also that he left her on Jan. 81, last and
has since refused to live with her, but denies be-
ing guilty of any vicious conduct or unkind
treatment He AYERS that he met her at sea-
side resort, among people of character and re-
spectabllity, and never imagined that she was
other than pure and virtuous woman The
answer goes on to relate how he discovered that
his wife was connected with the famous scandal
in which Congressman Acklen, of New Orleans
figured so prominently, and how his lady friends
declined to recognize him, and how, on investi-
CATION, he learned that the complainant, before
her marriage with him. had led a life of infamy,
and that he had been made the victim of an
abandoned adventures. Mr.. Belt further AYERS
that since his separation from his wife he has
discovered that the Acklen case was but small
part of the scandalous conduct complainant had
been guilty of before the marriage, and that he
was about to institute divorce proceedings when
served with process in this suit. The case is the
topic of considerable gossip in social circles and
has attracted widespread attention because of
Mr. Belts high social standing.

his act but in any other event it thinks that the
benefit should be withheld. The treasurer sub

A West End gentleman recently attended q
poker party, where he INDUCED in numerous
glasses of wine, and parted with most of his
cash. Midnight found him on Trenton street
with just sixty five cents in his pocket-a fifty
cent piece, dime and nickel Hailing her
die, he requested the driver to take him to his
home on Boylston street. When the latter was
reached, the gentleman, producing his half
dollar, asked the driver if he had a quarter. The
driver, after careful search, regretted that he
had nothing smaller than dollar, which he pro-
duced The gentleman, feeling poor, was disin-
clined to pay double fare, and the herdc driver
was equally averse to accepting fifteen cents for
his fare. They pondered the matter awhile, and
at last happy thought struck the gentleman.
II will tell you" said he, Frightening here are
that will be near enough" The herdic driver
handed over the dollar, thanked the gentleman
for his kindness and drove away; and the gentle
man, pleased with his own ingenuity, entered
the house. where it flashed across him what he
had done
