One Way Of Rocking the Cradle.

George Hauck, the brewer "On-the-Hill," !"
spent week last summer at hotel In
Hunter, Green county, rusticating and
drinking in the sweet beauties of nature ;"
One day, on his way to the hotel after
long ramble through brush and briar, he
stopped at a neat-looking farmhouse for the
purpose of getting a fresh glass of milk.
The kitchen door stood open. Mr.. Hauck,
after knocking walked in. He saw no sign
of life except d baby in cradle, which was
being rocked to and fro by some unseen
power.
a closer examination revealed the fact
that stout cord was fastened to one of the
rockers and run through hole in one side
of the room Mr. Hauck resolved to follow
up the cord and see what the other end of it
was fastened to. The search led him to q
small barn connected with the house In i'll
stood three cows, to the tails of which was
tied the cord. 1t being fly time the animals
kept up constant switching with their
tails, thus accounting for the rocking of the
cradle in the kitchen. 1t was novel means
Of putting the baby to sleep, but it worked

Pierre Lorillard's English Partridses-
New Y0rk Lettar.l

Rich sports1nen have lately taken to the
foreign notion of preserving land for game,
to be hunted by themselves exclusively; but
the laws to protect such enterprises are
lacking here, as Pierre Lorillard has disgust
to know. He sometimes goes to Washing
ton market in person to select whatever
novelties and extras may chance to be on
sale The other day he saw there, hanging
in poulterer's stall, three pairs of part
ridges He had reason to be agitated by
the sight.
stHow much are they!" he asked.
1.-TWO dollars a pair" was the reply;
s'they are very peculiar. l never saw any
just like them, and don't think them dear
at that price"
"Dirt cheap exclaimed Lorillard; II
paid Sc brace for them year ago"
So he had. They were genuine English
cartridges, and he had imported them as an
experiment in acclimatization They had
been loosed on his extensive farm in New
Jersey, and he had actually paid the pot
hunter of that ueighborhood S. not to shoot
them; but somebody bagged and marketed
them in spite of all precautions.

Gen. Dodge, beside being a most capable
soldier, was an experienced railroad builder.
He had no tools to work with but those of

these he was able to intrench his men and
protect them against suprises by small
parties of the enemy. As he had no blse of

back to Nashville, the first matter to con-

Thus every branch of railroad building,
making tools to work with, and supplying
the workmen with food, was all going ON at

laborer except what the command itself fur

Specimen Legal Unpleasantness IN Italy.
lPall Mall Gazette.

Medievalism is not yet quite extinct in
Italy; and occasionally the fine old stiletto
instinct asserts itself An exquisite little in
stance has just occurred at Viterbo, near
Rome A Sicilian named Calvagno and
several of his accomplices were charged with
murder. Some of them confessed their guilt;
but sympathetic jury acquitted all the
prisoners. The president of the tribunal
naturally protested, 7eoram publico, against
the verdict, whereupon mob broke into the
court intent upon a little murder on its own
account, the object of its intentions being
the president and the public prosecutor. A
convenient back door enabled both these
gentlemen to reach the railway station,
where they took the first train going any
where.
All this was only the beginning of a great
judicial scandal. The president has accused
the prisoners counsel-each of whom is a
member of parlament--of having bribed
the jury, and the municipality of Viterbo,
which takes a paternal interest in the wel-
fare of the murderers, has retaliated by de-
manding the presidents dismissal The
affair naturally causes great excitement in
Italy, the more so that the proceedings
against Calvagno and his accomplices have
already lasted over nine years. They have
engaged the attention of six different iuries
and the records Of the case fill 100 volumes.

To this statement Lord Salisbury made
reply which is SO complete that it seems a
piece of solemn wit. 1t was: That he has

smoking-room of the house of commons;
that he has never spoken to Mr. Parnell,
and SO far as he knows, has never seen him;
that he has certainly had no compact with

Aside from the humor of this reply, it is
interesting to know that Lord Salisbury
never smoked, even if he lis silent as to

Phases of Life i'm Russia.
fAfalania nr.vilI,I


The Russian people meetdeath very philo-
sophically. Their resignation is remarkable
and beautiful, and they die with great
dignity. Funeral ceremonies are marked
by much noise and ostentatious lamenta-
tions; but marriages although 9ery
ceremonious, are noticeably quiet. Very
little is expected of girls before they are
married, and they do little but carry water,
which they enjoy doing Their pals are
suspended from yokes over their shouiders,s
and they generally have nice chance to
talk with the young men at the river.
In the winter the water is drawn from a
hole cut in the ice when the river is bap-
tized on January'6. On st. Johns night in
June the girls and young men gather herbs
between 9 and IL O'Clock at night, and
weave them into wreaths, which are thrown
into the river at midnight. The pair who's.
wreaths touch in the water are supposed to
be fated to marry; a1ii!. they manage with
sticks always to bring the right wreaths to-
gether During all this time they are not
supposed to speak, which is very hard for
yirIs-Russian girls

THE MILITIA ELL.

The veto Of the Militia bill, on
which our great and good Governor
prides himself so much, just knocked
this State out Of about $4,000 IN
cash. The 18th Congress passed
bill distributing among the States
a fund for the support of a State
Militia; and they in return asked
that each local member of every
company take the oath ofallegiance
to the constitution Of the State
and the United States. 1t was for
this reason that bill was intro
duced into the Nevada Legislature
two years ago, and it was recog-
nized by every one as reasonable
and fair proposition. But here
the Governor saw, or thought he
saw. his opportunity. A senti-
ment was manufactured that it
was scheme to turn the guns OF
the militia upon the Miners Union
and reduce their wages. Petitions
to veto it were sent out to every
union in the State to be signed
and returned all written in the
same handwriting, pcrhars in the
Governor own Office, and when
they showed up enough votes he
vetoed the bill, and the State has
to pay the expenses alone.
Now. does any man suppose that
it was love for the Miners Union
that caused that veto? Does 1t
not show on It's face the selfish
demagogue and unprincipled
character of the man, and does
any taxpayer desire to continue
such man in the highest office
in the State? The Governor
should be above all prejudice pas
sion or demagoguery. He should
have but one rule Of action, regard
less of individual or local pressure,
and that should be to preserve the |
honor and enhance the prosperity |
Of the whole State. Such a Gov
ernor would MT. Stevenson make;
but such a one Governor Adams
does not make.-Reno G2zatte.
