Davitt and the Queen.

telegram from Montreal, November 81, says:
The more respectable portion of the Irish people
here feel very much annoyed at the toast OF "The
Queen" having been struck off the list at the din
ner given to Michael Davitt in the st. Lawrence
difference to Davttts feelings, but gentleman
who was instrumental in getting up The dinner
says that Davitt made the request that the toast
be omitted on account OF the cOercive measures;
adopted by the British government. AS the poll
ticianS on both sides are striving with all their
might to make political capital out OF Dayitt
neither side cared TO make any objection to Davitts
request. 1t was for this reason, too that the or
ganizerS OF the dinner were so particular in OBJ
serving fast on Friday that the dinner only
started after midnight.

The Ride for Life.
SEVENTY HOURS IN THE SADDLE IN THE TEETH OF A

SEVENTY HOURS IN THE SADDLE IN THE TEETH OF A
BLIZZARD.
A party OF army officers who have arrived at
Bismarck, Oak, from Fort Yates gives descrip-
tiOn of the most thrilling ride in the history of that
country. They were seventy hours in blizzard
in coming from Fort Lincoln, distance of sixty
miles, or over an hour to mile. Their vehicle
was an ambulance and was drawn by four mules
The night the blizzard was at it height they were
compelled to shovel and plough their way through
snOwdrfts from six TO ten feet deep, and the con-
tfnual use OF the whip and goading-sttc was
necessary to keep the exhausted animals On the
walk. The officers state that at the time the
blizzard hid the mules from view and that but for
the instinct OF the animals they would have been
lost and frozen to death. At one point they passed
an Indian camp, but the Indians would not give
them shelter as their superstition taught them
that this would be fatal to them. They arrived at
Fort Lincoln without covering to their ambu-
lance, this protection having been blown away by
the first nights wind, and within thirty minutes
from their arrival one OF the animals dropped
dead. 1t was fight for life for seventy two hours
and they describe the trip as most horrible expe-
rence, compared with which a march against an
opposing army would be pleasant pastime

"A VICtI1m Ot HIS OWn CxlfeIGSSneSSs
A terrible powder explosion occurred in Calves
ton, Texas, yesterday morning, resulting in the
horrible death OF Joseph C. Lynch, of New York,
travelling agent for the Hazard powder company
of that city. Mr.. Lynch arrived in Galveston last
Monday to negotiate the sale OF large quantity
OF powder which had been stored for several
months in a magazine belonging to the j. s.
Brown hardware company. Failing to negotiate
the sale Of the hundred or more kegs to the Brown
company, Lynch called upon c. s. Wood & Sons
and transferred the powder to them. Nineteen of
the kegs were found to be damaged, and Lynch,
with man named Drew, carried them fifty yards
from the magazine to destroy the powder. Lynch
kicked in the heads OF three or four kegs and then
lighted match. Drew ran away, and in a mo-
ment terrible explosion occurred, Lynch being
blown thirty feet in the air and falling 100 feet

dOW A CONTEST OVER AN ELECTION 10 THE Ne

dispatcn Irom Lincoln, Nebraska, tells how
contest over an election to the legislature set
tied in Saline county, that state. The two con-
testants whose votes were a tie at the polls, met
In the Office Of the county clerk for the purpose OF
casting lots for the legislative prize. Gun-wadS,
numbering probably twenty-five, were placed in
hat, three OF which had Kings name written on
them and three with Fishburn's. They proceeded
to draw the wadS from the hat, the first few at
tempts resulting in drawing blanks. Finally each
OF them drew wad with Kings name on, and he
was declared the lucky man. The certificate OF
election was issued to him, and the boys sought
the nearest place where the event could be ceIe-
brated with a social drink. FiShbOrn intimated
that the contest was unsatisfactory to him, and
believed that 1t was not done upon square basis.
King was inclined to think there was no inten-
tiOnal fraud committed but for the sake OF hav-
ing the matter settled amicably, was willing to
renew the contest and draw again. He returned
his certificate OF election to the county clerk. The
second trial was by pulling straws. Fishburn
pulled the long straw, and was again defeated.
This time he expressed himself as perfectly salts

A Curious Custom of the New
Britain Islanders.

Washington Letter: United States
Consul Griffin, OF Sidney, brother of
Mary Anderson's step-father, has
made some exhaustive studies of the
inhabitants OF New Britain, an island
in the South Pacific Ocean, and gives
the State Department the benefit of
his researches. Among other things
he says that the inhabitants have the
custom OF contining their girls in cages
until they are old enough to marry.
This custom he says is peculiar to
that island and without parallel
among the inhabitants of the South
Seas. These girl cages are made OF
twigs of the palm tree and the
girls are put into them when only
two or three years OF age. These
cages are built inside the houses and
the girls are never allowed to leave
the house under any circumstances.
and are only taken out of the cages
once day to bewashed. The houses
themselves are closely fenced in with q
sort of wicker work made of reeds.
Ventilation under the circumstances
is rendered difficult. The girls are
said to grow up strong and healthful
in spite OF their disadvantages. The
natives are very fond OF jewelry made
of she'll or bone.
Both men and women are entirely
nude, except small strip of bark or
leaves around the loins. They have
thick, black curley hair, large flat
noses, and symmetrical bodies They
display a great fondness for feathers
OF eaudy colors, with which they deco
rate their heads. Sometimes they wear
ahelmet or head dress, about eighteen
inches in hight, made of bark and sea-
weeds, and ornamented with shells,
cat 's-eyes, etc,
