FANCY WooDcHoprINo.- The Ia
coma Ne,cs gives the following &c.
count of one of the most daring
woodchopping feats ever performed
A week or two since Chas. d.
Matheny, living out near Minter,
for the entertainment Of some city
folks" chopped down tree forty
five feet from the ground. That is
to say, the stump of the tree now
stands forty-five feet high, and is
probably the highest stump in Wash
ington Territory. Mr.. Matheny's &
method of climbing tree for the
purpose of chopping is peculiar to
himself. He uses only one board.
After cutting a notch he sticks his
az in the tree above his head. and
by grasping the handle and by sup
porting his foot in the lower notch
he places the board in the notch
above and then climbs upon it, and
thus goes to sny height desired. Joe
Hopfentz, who was present when the
above feat was performed, made q
rough but highly creditable picture
OF the scene, and it is on exhibition.
1t represents Mr.. Matheny hanging
by his hands underneath his board
while the troe is falling. At that
height it would be impossible for q
man to keep his footing on tho board
as the great stump quivered when
the tree fell, like a twig in the wind.

deal of emotional sentiment in all
this -
"No, sir. The men who fought
great battles, both North and South.
are heartily in accord in desiring
that the issues that have so long di-
vided the country be forever settled.
Trade and commerce, the develop
ment of mighty country, all COM
bine in asking for living legislation
and grand advance movement.
For many years the platforms of the
Republican party, both State and
national, have rung out for economy
and purity of the public service, aad
yet when a man has been found who,
like President Cleveland, makes Vi
tai the very principles that they have
been maintaining they turn around
and denounce him as an enemy OF
the Government. The truth of it is
that in one of those strange evolu.
tions Of American politics the Dem
ocratic party has swapped principles
with the Republican party, and a
Democratic President is doing for
the country to-day what would have
been accomplished years ago had
the professed principles of the Re-
pdblican platforms been adhered to.
1t was just 50 after the revolutionary
war when the Federalists and Tories
changed places entirely. The fact
of it is, this is democratic govern
ment, as Lincoln said, of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the peo-
pie, and if one set of men fail an
other set will be found to do the
work.
"Captain, do you think there has
been any real change? Has there,
not been a show of doing much, but
in reality doing little ?"
81 believe much has been done.
President Cleveland's course as Gov
ernor of New York is simply being
repeated on a grander scale as Pres
ident. Every branch of the public
sevice has profited by the reforms in
augurated, and the result will be the
saving of millions of dollars to the
people and better civil service than
has ever been seen in the country"
Do you think the Republicans
should have endorsed this Admins
tration? That seems to be the drift
of your conversation"
most certainly think the Re.
publicans should have given Presi-
dent Cleveland full credit for the
good work he has done. It has
been for the best interests of the
country as a whole, and not for any
particular clique, faction or even the
Democratic party as q separate Or
ganization. President Cleveland
deserves the support of every think
ing American citizen, irrespective of
party, in what he's doing. Those
who denounce him are recreant to
the commonest principles of patriotic
duty, and are not fit to be entrusted
with official place or power. Hold
ing the views do, I most emphati.
cally decline to march in the So
called Republican procession this
Fall. 1 cannot obey the commands
of such leaders, and shall strenu-
ously resist every effort they may
put forth to subvert good govern
ment and exalt themselves at the ex.
pense OF reunited country"

occasion an a1ectionate letter to Mrs.
Mackay, the contents of which have been
repeated to me. Her majesty had, few
winters ago, hoped Tor marriage between
the young lady and one of her pephews.
but as there was no love on one side and
an American feeling against forming
royal connections, nothing came of the
good offices of the queen mother The
queen of Italy has also conveyed through
the Countess Telfner. aunt of the BRIDE
designate, her best wishes and expressed
her great satisfaction at the prospect of
seeing her often in Rome, where the
courtship began.
Miss Eva Mackay is what the French
term mtgnonne. Without any shyness
she is the reverse of self -assertive, has
attractive manner and a charming ex-
preston. The two Colonna uncles took
a great fancy to her, and write that i'll
marrying their nephew she will gain two
fathers. Mrs. Mackay has been asked by
various'ilustrated journals o give the"
lkenesses Of her, daughter and son-in-
law, but has declined, as she does not
wish the eyes of the world to see into her
