Daring Exploit of Cowboys.

"A traveller on the Northern Pacific reports
the following thrilling incident: When the
train stopped at Medora, Montana, the
headquarters OF the Marquis de Mores and
Theodore Roosevelt, some ten or a dozen
cowboys, mounted on their typical horses
OF the plains, were cutting all kinds ofcapers
and giving sort OF free show, for the edifi-
cation and amusement of the citizens and
passengers. They were putting the horses
through reckless evolutions and maneuvers,
giving an exhibition of equestrianism that
astonished the tenderfeet on board the
train: The boys had just come in from a
considerably flushed with Dakota tangle-
foot. The railroad bridge, which spans the
Little Missoury river at this point, is at
least 100 feet above the surface Of the
water. To enable footmen to cross a
narrow plank walk-not more than
two feet wide-is laid along on the ties,
from shore to shore, in the center of the
bridge. 1t requires steady nerve for man
to make the tripsuccessfully, withoutlosing
his balance and falling through between the
ties into the river far below, which, ofcourse
would mean certain death. Two of the cow
boys more reckless than their companions
rode their horses upon the track at a ra pid
gait, and then, in single file, dashed on to the
bridge and made for the other side, fly
ing along on the narrow plank walk just as
II they were racing across the prairie after
an obstreperous bovine.
and expected to see the two daring men
dashed to death at every Jump the horses
made. The riders yelled vociferously, and
rode with the same easy confidence they
always display when at home upon the
plains.

No event in the last 20 years has

an interest among New York shipping

While woman suffrage in this coun-
try has it's ups and downs, and per-
haps more downs than ups, in Eng
land the whole controversy is shortly
to be brought to focus in the candi-
dacy of Helen Taylor, a step-daughter
Of the late John Stuart Mill, for aseat
in parliament. 1t appears that while
there is no recognition in law OF wom-
ans eligibility to this honor, there is
no law to prevent her winning it if she
can. The cable says that the lady is
likely to get the election. If so, the
commons may have a worse job on

The Weekly Report of Gen. Grants Condi-
fiOn.

DR.. Shrady sent the Medical Record of
Gen. Grants conditions:
The progr2ss of the disease from which
Gen. Grant is suffering, barring accidental
complications, is slow. Comparing the con-
dition OF the patient with what it was a
month ago, the changes which have taken
place can be appreciated. Taking this
period OF time into consideration, it
can be said that the swelling under
the angle of the lower jaw on the right side
has increased and become harder and more
deeply fixed. 1t has shown IL tendency to
progress in Il direction downward and for
ward upon the right side of the neck, and
the intiltlation extending into the neighbor-
ing glandular structures. The pains in these
parts, although fortunately not frequent
nor severe, have Al significance which cam
not be ignored. The liberation of the right
side OF the base OF the tongue has become
coarscr and more IRREGULAR although it's SUI
perticial area has not perceptibly increased.
This is the scat OF pain occasionally in swal-
lowing and when certain examinations of
the throat are made. The destructive pro-
cess on the right side of the avula is appar-
emily quiescent, although i, new portion of
the margin OF the palatal curtain is showing
a tendency to break down. The voice has
been reduced to a whisper, due partly
to the inf1ammatory Involvement of the
vocal cords and partly to the nervous
atony OF the latter. There is some improve
ment OF the general strength, the appetiteis
unchanged, and the usual amount of fnourisf-
ment is taken. The removal to Mt. Nc
Gregor has so far proved beneficial. 1t has
| enabled the patient to recover the lost
ground and thus, in 1, measure, has count
er-balanccd the effects OF his local malady.

James Russell Lowell, late minister
to England, said in Boston the other
day. can English naval officer told
me only short time ago that our
policy with regard to a navy was on
the whole the best. DO not create IL
navy said he, until you need it, and
then build your vessels with all the
latest modern improvements. Idon't
know but that he is right. OF course
It would take a little time and would
cause an enormous outlay OF money.
1don't think, however, that we shall
be called upon to use a navy against
England right away. The relations
between the two countries could not
be more pleasant or friendly, yet war
is not animpossibility. Wehave Eng
lish blood in our veins, and we have
Just as much English pride as those
across the water. Neither country
would consent to be bulldozed; but
that is not likely to occur. The policy
that has been maintained between the
two countries is, I think, the wisest
that could be pursued, and anl con-
6dent that my successor will do just
right. Mr.. Phelps is q man of great
