The Parnellites Organize.

coming campaign, and to discuss the future
policy OF the Home Rule party. Mr.. Par.
nell himself presided, and it was resolved
to advise all the Home Rule constituencies
to select no candidates without first con-
sulting with Mr.. Parnell, and to vote for
none who would not give pledges to act
with the party as a unit in parliament. 1t
wsss also resolved that the candidates
should each sign a pledge TO vote and act
with the Parnellites, and to resign if q ma
jority of their colleagues so ordered. Adj
dressing public meeting, Mr.. Parnell said:

Wings. Let Irish farmers support the

Half-Dreetl Trick ExDOSel,

Washington Special: Special Agent Gard
ncr telcgraphed Secretary Lamar that, after
issuing number OF certificates to the Tur-
tie Mountain Chippewas in Dakota for lands
on which these Indians desire to settle and
own in severalty, he had returned to the
land office at DEVILS Luke and found that
the half breeds had. been filing entries as
citizens. He asked ii he should return to
tho reservation and cancel the severalty
certificates. Mr.. Lamar at once advised
Mr.. Gardner that the hali-brecds would
render their filings void If they &c
copied sevcralty certificates. There are
in the neighborhood OF one thou
sand half.breeds in the tribe who have
played this sharp trick on the department.
They call themselves Indians, and draw
supplies as such. Under the law passed
last July, al Indian may file on home
stead exactly as a white man except that
he pays no fees, congress having appropri-
ated money Tor that purpose, and that the
United States holds the lands thus entered
for twenty five years in tr,ist for the sole
use and benefit OF the Indinn by whom said
entry shall have been made, or in CASE OF
his decease OF his widow and heirs. At
the expiration Of twenty-five years the
United States agrees to convey the land by
patent to the Indian or heirs, but the sharp
Turtle Mountain Indians prefer to file as
citizens and then sell their lands for a few
hundred dollars. After selling them in this
way and spending the money, they come in
fer their supplies under the annual appro-
priations in The same manner as the simon
pure red man. 1t is safe to say that the
half-breeds who prefer to file their entries
as citizens will be compelled to live as citi-
Gems without any further aid from the gov
eminent.

A Royal Cow.

Mrs. Samuel AZ. Shoemaker, says the
Baltimore Sun, has lost by death from in
famation OF the lungs the world-renowned
COW Princess Second, which astonished the
world by giving in seven days a yield OF
fcrty-six pounds and ten and half ounces
OF butter. This test of her butter qualities
was completed April 10, 1885. Some time
after the tests the blankets were taken off
rather suddenly, it is thought, and she took
cold, from which she never recovered.
She was a magnificent animal, OF great
vitality and force, as well as q fine butter
producer. One ofthe secrets OF herimmense
yields of butter was her great vitality
and appetite. During the very height Of
the test, when she was fed as large
quantities of butter-prodncing food as
it was thought she could safely bear, she
broke loose one night and consumed over
200 pounds OF prepared food in a box in the
stable. About two years ago Mrs. Shoe
maker refused $25, 600 for her. She was 8
years and six months old when she died.
She was an imported cow, and was bought
at auction in New York for 81 800. She
was at the celebrated Coonassie strain.
from home of Mrs. Shoemaker for SIC, 900,
but the sale did not stand, Mrs. Shoemaker
refusing to ratiiy it on her return.
While the Burnside Park Jersey herd has
sustained great loss in the death Of Princess
Second it is thought her place will be more
than filled by a noble COW of grand ply
siQue of the same strain. This animal,
Oxford Kate. a near relative Of Princess
Second has already record OF thirtynine
pounds twelve ounces OF butter in seven
days, which is already second to Princess
Second and as she has never been pushed,
it is believed she can beat the foremost rec
ord. The father OF this COW sold for IS, $50.
All the Burnside herd are in fine condition.

1t is stated on what appears to be
good authority that the Oklahoma
boomers have at last dispersed and
will no longer remain in camp. This
action on their part is largely the re-
suit OF the action of the administra.
ton concerning the issue of leases and
occupancy OF the cattle syndicates in
the Indian Territory. The proclama-
ton of the President meets with uni
versal favor among the people and has
inspired the greatest confidence, since
it is evident that the administration
intends to deai with equal fairness by
ali classes Of people, and he ieels as
sured that there will be no further
trouble on the border Of the Indian Ter
ritory. It reported that the admins
tration has plan for purchasing SO
much Of the Oklahoma country as the
Indians do not need, and Of throwing it
open for settlement upon fair terms. 1t
is represented as the finest agricultural
tract OF land in the whole country.

Love Letter from 1fido cean
Reaches It's Destination.

A sea captain relates that on June {.
1854, the schooner r. Bowers, Captain
Thompson, bound to Gloucester from
Messlna, was pitching about in long
ocean swell in latitude AZ, degrees 46
minutes, longitude 60 degrees AZ min
utes. We had made good run thus
far, but on this particular day struck o
dead calm. There was little to do ex-
cept to watch the vessel and whistle for
wind, and several schemes were invent
ed by the officers to piss away the time.
The second mate of the schooner, Mr..
Cruikshank, had left sweetheart at
home, and naturally his mind drifted
across the. watery waste to her bright
eyes. Noticing his preoccupied man
ner, the captains wife suggested that
he send his love a message from the
sea. The idea seemed good one. He
wrote note, enclosed it in an envelope,
addressed it to the young lady at Big
Brook, Cape Breton, enclosed the
whole in bottle, and threw it over
board.
There was great speculation at the
time as to where the bottle would bring
up; but in few hours a breeze sprung
up, and, in working the vessel, all
thoughts of the bottle and its contents
were forgotten. The schooner in due
time arrived in Gloucester, and Mr..
Cruikshank started for Cape Breton.
His arrival was expected, but his as
constituent may be imagined when his
lady love brought forth the Identical
bottle which thenate had thrown in
TO the sea, and produced the note con-
tanned therein. The story Of the drift
was q singular one. It had been picked
up On the shores of Little Dover Bay,
on the east end of Nova Scotia, after a
drift of forty-one days duration, and
the finder sent it to the young lady.
Another singular circumstance connect
ed with the finding of the bottle was
the fact that the finder turned out to be
a. near relative of Mr.. Cruikshank, al
though they never had seen each other.

The Great Flood In China.

Details ofthe destruction ofCanton, Chi

storm, have been received by parties in
Washington. The flood was the most seri
Gus which has visited Canton in thirty
years. More than 10000 persons lost
their lives, and a greater number are left in
a starving condition! Entire villages were
engnlfed and the rice ard silk shopsin the
vicinity were almost ruined. The price Of
rice has been raised to Is per cent, in con-
sequence Of the loss Of the crop. The rain
fell in the latter part of me, filing and
overfowing all the rivers. Many OF the
streets OF Canton we're flooded for over a
week, At Semi City the water broke through
the city wall. It is reported that several
thousand people were drowned in that
place; The embellishments OF the rivers
were broken in numerous places, and the
water swept across the SURF ounding coun-
try carrying every thing before it. n: # 3
