MILWAUKEE Sentinel. A report
comes from the northern part of the
state of the destruction of large
numbers of wolves by an epidemic
disease, to the great loss of the farm
ers of that region. The disease
first attacks the skin, and before
death the VOLTS head is as bare as
the back of a southern mule. The
wolf industry is one of the most i'm
portant in the state and the epidem.
lie involves a serious loss The state
pays a tax for wolf scalps, and is
addition some Of the counties offer
reward for every scalp displayed.
The result is that many sheep farms
have been transformed into wolf
farms. 1t has been found that with
the liberal bouuues offered, a man
can make more. money by raising
wolves and selling their scalps to
the state than by raising sheep. OF
course the destruction of the hair BY

purchased a third interest in the

he used both pen and tongue in be-

and was particularly enthusiastic in
his endeavors to advance Colonel

vigorous writer and speaker, and
very genial gentleman withal. His

Inter Ocean: TheOregon Legis,
lature did a wise thing in making
the study of the physiological effects
of alcohol upon the human system a
compulsory study in the common
schools. 1t will be mighty good in
formation many an old topper will
get as he sits at his chimney-corner
and hears his boys and girls talk of
"whisky livers," "atrophied brains,"
"cancerous stomachs," and blood so
charged with whisky that it will
"burn u blue flame" and occasionally
go off in Spontaneous combustion"
The evil effects upon the human
organism of alcoholic drinks, with
out any exaggeration, are the most
powerful and effective temperance
arguments that can be used. The
mere fact that the man who drinks
habitually transmits the appetite to
his children, and shapes their lives
to misery, brought convincingly be
fore man who loves his children
will make him hesitate. To the
moderate drinker such facts speak
with marked effect. Physiology and
the laws of life and health will take
larger place in education in the
years to come than in the past. For
boy or girl to know French and
Latin and music is we'll enough,
always provided they have taken
time to study the science of life
and health. From the days of Adam
until the present time the world has
been full of misery from the violat-
ed physical laws of nature, and it is
strange but true that these violations
are more marked in civilized than
in savage countries.

THE RULES OF THE HOUSE.
Republicans in Favor of Some
 ChRngNg.

Changes.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-At conference of the Republican caucus committee to consider the position of the party with respect to the proposed changes in the House rules no formal decision was reached, but from the general interchange of opinion it was clear that they favor change of the rules in at least two directions They will insist that the majority of the House should have the right to control it's business, and that general legislation in appropriation bills shall be prohibited. As to the matter of distributing the appropriation bills great difference of opinion was manifested. The question of protection is to enter somewhat into the consideration of this question. MT Randall will vigorously oppose every attempt to distribute the appropriation bills and the argument has been presented by some of MT. Randalls friends to the protection Republi- cans that 1t is proper for them to consider whether or not it is wise for them to aid in weakening MT. RandalPs power on the theory that he in an emcrgency would be certain to use it to defeat legislation hostile to pro- lection. This argument is not without eff feet. It is now suggested, however, that Speaker Carlisle will not appoint any of the committees, except the Committee on Rules, until the House shall have adopted it's rules Some of the revenue reformers think that if the rules shall not be modified so as to limit the power of the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, it is possible that MT Randall will not be reappointed to that posi-

 The northern readers of s'Uncls Toms Cabin" and similar literature are firmly con- vinced that the southern negroes before the war looked upon the abolitionists as their friends. This is as great a mistake as the current impression among northern people that the negroes sympathized with the Un- ion cause and aided the Union soldiers when ever they could.
 When the writer was small boy he wit messed from afar a singular procession in the city of Montgomery. He caught only glimpse of a clamorous mob of men and boys escorting what appeared to be an os- trich or immense fowl of some kind "What big bird!" was the juvenile spec tators surprised exclamation tBress your soul koney," said a pleasant old negro who standing on tip-toe to see the strange sight, s'dat's no bird'' "What is it then?'
 ''Why, chile, dat's blishumist Doan' yer know what blishumist is? He's one ob de debbil's own chillun. Dere ain't muffin dat blishumist won't do. He's j'st de wust an de meanest pol white trash ter be foun' on de face ob de yeths'

The Montgomery negro fair repre- sentative of his race. As a rule, whenever | an abolitionist came to grief in the South it was because some negro reported his indis- erect utterances to the whites. To slaves l descended from generations of slaves, slave | ry seems the most natural thing in the world. l They estimated white mans importance by | the number of his slaves, and the man who
 owned none was in their eyes very insignif i icant being When they found man who
 WAS opposed to slavery they jumped to the conclusion that he was madnan or 8 mon 1 strosity outside the pale of humanity. The
 tarring and feathering of an abolitionist nev- | CT failed to give the negroes the keenest de light. Their only regret on such festive oc- | casions was that they were compelled to re- ! main in the background instead of taking a1l
 active hand in the affair themselves. Curi-
 osity has something to do with this. Speak ing of an abolitionist one day, an intelligent ! negro asked:
 ''Did he have hornses and hoofses like all
 de odder blshumistss"
 That was his idea of it and his fellows 1 everywhere were the same way.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The President will transmit the recess appointments to the Sen ate as rapidly as possible, but without re- gard to any classification or priority. The convenience of the appointment clerks and others upon whom the clerical work of pre- pairing the papers devolves will probably have most to do with the order in which the names will be sent in. It is not expected at the White House that many new appoint msnts will be made before all the recess ap- pointments have been submitted.

A Prison Struck bv a Tornado

CHESTER, H., Dec. 9.-The buildings of the Southern Illinois penitentiary at this place were badly damaged and some of the inmates seriously injured by a tornado last evening. Portions of the wardens and cell house roofs were swept away, as was also that of the shoe shop, new building being erected for State shop, and large part Of the stockade was blown down, together with the guard house. A guard named Nichols was blown from his box and seriously bruis- ed. A life convict named Villmore was blown against wall and had leg broken. Another convict named Wilkinson was struck by falling chimney and badly if rot fatally injured. A roaring sound was heard for some minutes before the storm struck the buildings. No damage was done in the city
