tioas to be considered, II which only the
Representatives Of the special localities
iarc to take part, it ls both saving OF
time and expense to,considsr these ques-
tions at the same time providing the
main questlonsin whIchall are concerned
is given precedence. Thatquestlon is in
regard to division and admission. 1t
may seem a little sectiona! that only those
representatives. from tha: pirt of the ter
ritory north Of the 46th panllel are to be
allowed vote on issqaeston, and 1t is
IN geographical sense, but the people
south of that line havestwlre had an op-
portunity to express then.clves in the
matter'at the two constitutional conven-
tions held at Sioux Fails in which the
people of the north hdl mo voice and they
cannot consistently OBJECT 10 the people
Of North Dakota giving expression to
their views in the nnnier proposed.
Politicians haye g,veis6ut conflicting re.
ports OF the feeling Of the masses upon
this subject, now let hespeaple express it
themselves. The observer viii have no.
ticed quite . modification n the senti-
ments Of the people on this subject with
in the past two years. they have been
thinking for thensely ,ietween crops of
No. ! har.'. They iAss Ssesigated The
subject as TO how and where their rights
have suffered under territorial form of
government, and can find tonly in the
exaggerated assertions OF politicians and
extravagant imagination Of newspaper
paragraphers. They have how come 10
inquire what will be the gam in the pro-
posed division of the territory and ulti-
mately two state governments over an un-
divlued territory and one ultimate state
government. There will beIa gain to the
politicians of an hundred per cent in the
number of state offices but il does not an
pear how the people are to gain anything
by 1t. 1t IS a very SIMPLE question in
arithmetic to show that the people would
lose correspondingly as the politicians
gain in the proposed Elan. An increase
OF one hundred per cent in the offices
means an increase Of one hundred per
cent in the cost Of maintaining them.
That is self-evident proposition, and as
the politicians will hold the offices and
the masses OF the people will pay their
salaries IN taxes, the zeal of the former
is more easily explained than the apathy
OF the latter.

y AFTER On illness Of bnt five days Of ty-
phOid pneumonia, Hon. John b. Ray
.mnnd. ex delegate in congress Isom. ihis
territory, died ln Fargo where Ihe: has
made his headquarters while snperintcnd-
ing his large farming enterprise near
that city. The news of the death OF Mr..
Raymond carried with it sorrow and sad
ness 10 the people Of all parts OF the ter
ritory by whom he was esteemed and res
pectsd both as representative in con-
gress and as citizen. Mr.. Raymond
made an honorable record as a soldier
during the war of the rebellion, having
enlisted as a private in Tazewell county,
Ill.,, IN the 3lst infantry Of which John A.
Logan was colonel. He was promoted to
captain Of company E after the siege of
Vicksburg and served to the end OF the
war. He remained in the state of M,sss-
sippi during the Period Of reconstruction
and published the Pllst at Jackson. In
1877 lie was appointed United States
marshal for Dakota and has resided here
ever since extensively engaged in wheat
growing in the Red river valley in add
ton to his official duties. At the expira-
tion OF his term as marshal be declined a
re.appolntment and in 1882 received the
nomination of the republican, territorial
convention held at Grand Forks as Dele
gate to Congress and was elected by a
majority OF 10000 over his opponent
Judge Brookihgs, of Sioux Falls, the
democratic candidate. Mr.. Raymond was
not a politician. Neither was he pub
lie speaker nor possessed in an extraor-
dinary degree of any of the qualities that
make up the successful politician Of these
days. But tar better than these, he was
on honest man IN his private life and
conscientious in the discharge of his Of
tlc,al duties. Those who knew him hest
were his hest friends.

Increased Telegraph Service.

It's difficult to realize how very gem
eral is the use of the telegraph COM
pared with former periods. Since the
Government took possession of the tele-
graph in Great Britain, record mas
been kept of the number of telegraph
messages sent yearly. In 1870, there
were 100000 messages; in 1875, 49,
100000; in 1880, 26.000,0O0; in 1885,
100000; this does not include tho
press-messages, which have increased
nearly q thousandfold, due to the great
er cheapness Of the Government service
over that of the companies. Popula-
ton does not increase rapidly in Great
Britain, while it does in this country,
and the growth of the telegraph service
here would be enormous, if we had the
cheap rates such as obtain in the Gov
eminent service of Europe. It was sup
posed that the telephone would diminish
the number of telegraphic messages,
but it seems to have had quite the ops
posite effect Denaorest's Monthly.

WILD HUNTERS.

Fierce Struggle Between Il Pack of Hyens.
Dogs and Il Leopard.
One traveller tells of having witnessed
the pursuit and destruction of large
leopard by pack of wild dogs.
Whether Or not the dogs had set Out
with the intento on of capturing the
leopard, he could not tell. He saw them
start up the great cat in low jungle.
The leopard made no effort at first to
fight off its assailants; but, with series
of prodigious springs, sought shelter in
the only refuge the plain afforded
tree which had partially fallen.
There the hunted beast stood, snarling
and growing in manner that would
have frightened off any ordinary foe.
The savage dogs, however, never hest.
tated a moment, but with agile leap;
ran up the sloping trunk, and gave in.
slant battle to their furions game. One
after another the dogs were hurled
back, each stroke of the terrible paw
making one foe the less. Yet they con.
tinued to throw themselves against the
enraged creature, until, wearied by the
contest and wounded in fifty places, il
fell from the tree; when, still strug.
Cling, it was quickly torn to pieces.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that the wild dog usually prefers as for.
midable game as the leopard. A sheep
fold is always an attraction too great
for the wild dog to pass.
And now, after calling this wild hunt
er a dog, l shall have to say that it is
not a dog at all, but is only sort Of
cousin to the dog, and really nearer
relative of the hyena, though it so re.
sembles both animals as to have gained
the name of hyena-dog. Its scientific
name is Lycaon Venaticus; and bes DIES

the birds do not especially recommend
themselves. The manner in which q
Farce fowler goes to work is rather in
teresting. He has primarily to consider
the wind, inasmuch as this is the chief
assistant force which he presses into
his service. If the wind be favorable
he takes his long net, mounted on a
stout wooden handle and frame, and
goes to that particular cleft or crevlce
in the sea rocks which he knows to offer
chance of sport. Down here he
carefully chambers, until he finds good
standing and working room where
the birds are busting past him before
the wind. 1t is then a matter of mus
cles and routine. BY barring the pas
sage with his net he inevitably catches
all the birds that continue their flight
through the rift, and his attributes then
must be mainly those of strength and
endurance. Of course, not everywhere
can fowler attain to his perch by the
exclusive use of his legs. Infinite pluck
and nerve are both necessary. And so
honorable calling in youth is that of a
fowler considered that you may hear

adventures of their younger days, on

How This Material is Made and the Pur.

The name papier mache is applied to
paper pulp mixed with glue and dried,
or paper sheets pasted together and
nodded. The cheaper articles of PAPER
mache are made of paper reduced to
pulp with water and glue and pressed in
oiled molds. Better articles are pro-
duced by pasting together sheets of
paper, and when proper degree of
thickness is attained it is pressed into
the shape desired. When moist this
substance may be made to take any
form and when dry may be planned into
any shape. 1t may then be vanished.

CAPABILITIES remaining rubbed off with
pumice stone If ornamented with
gold, bronze powder, or colors a thin
varnish of shellac must be subsequently
applied, and then dried at very high
temperature. A brilliant surface can be
had by polishing with rotten stone and OIL
Papier mache is much used to make
architectural ornaments, both for ex-
terror and interior decoration. The
sheets of paper, placed i'll layers with
glue, are pressed into metal molds for
some hours Then they are removed,
and composition of paper pulp, mixed
quite thin with rosin and glue, is poured
in, and the paper impressions are again
put in and subjected to powerful pres
sure. This causes the composition to
adhere to the nodded articles and give
them the rough surface that is desired.
Papier mache can be made waterproof
by adding to the pulp sulphate of iron,
some of the silicates, and fire-proof by
mixing with clay and borax, phosphate
of soda, or any alkali. Papier mache
is the substance used to take impressions
from type in theprocess of stereotyping.
1t is also used to make cheap statuettes,
and also ornamental boxes. To initiate
marble, whiting is added to it in large
quantities. Chicago Inter Ocean.
