A Pretty Pony In . Well

Last Sunday morning, about three
o'clock, Captain Powell was aroused by
m unusual noise out at his stables among
his horses. Going out he found his beau
iifui black mare, Daisy, greatly distressed.

until he began looking around for her colt.
Failing to find the little fellow, the thought
occurred to him that may be II had fallen
into well which was near by. His fears
proved true, for down in the deep, dark
well the brave little Percheron was foun-
dering about. The Captain aroused sew
eral hands on the place, and in short
while the colt was drawn to the surface,
wrapped in warm blankets and soon re-
stored. No limbs were broken, strange to
say, from the headlong plunge. This Is .

THE HOUSE-FLY.
Interesting Facts Concerning the Language
of This Little Torturer.

Interesting Facts Concerning the Language
of This Little Torturer.
Flies are distinguished from most
other insects by having but single pair
of wings, what corresponds to the sec
ond or hinder pair in other insects be-
ing q pair of knob-like "balancers. y"
The flight of the house-hy is most rapid
in warm, sultry weather. We all know
how busy and pertinacious their move
ments are in dog-day weather.
II has been found that a common fly
when held captive moves its wings three
hundred and thirty times a minute,
whereas n honey-bce. whose powers OF
continued flight are much greater,
moves its wings one hundred and
ninety times in the same period. The
wings describe a figure in the air.
The buzz of the ily has been carefully
studied by Landois. During flight the
iy's buzz or hum is in a relatively low
tone: when it is held so high that the
wings can not move the buzz is higher
in pitch. and it is higher still when the
tly is held so that all motion of the eS-
tcrnal parts is prevented. The last
mentioned is the true voice of the in
sect; it is produced by the breathing
holes of the thorax. The buzz of tho
ily thus expresses the emotions of the
creature; the low hum being one Of con-
tnntment, the shrill, excited buzz, one
of alarm and disturbance. - United Pres

The new railway route TO Norfolk,

A Proposed Move.

1t being an axiom well grounded that
''everything is fair in politics." it would
be strange, indeed, If those in power, did
not employ all available means to
strengthen their party. Such a course is
followed by all parties, everywhere.
Vide the recent-unjust- ust-gerrymandering
act adopted by the legislature of Ohio
a Republican body. What is sauce for
the goose must be sauce for the gander.
Therefore, the move on foot, to effect a
change of several judicial districts, in
this State, in such manner as to throw
them in the hands of the dominant party
may, at first glance, appear like a per-
version of power, is found to be, on re-
Election, due to the composition of the
parties, the height of wisdom. The De-
mocratic party is composed of the intel
ligence and the property holders; the
Republican party with few exceptions
is composed of the very reverse. This
assertion will not be disputed. Now
Democratic party being in the ascenden-
cy, it would be simply preposterous to
think that it would legislate against the
the interests of its members; and as
every individual member thereof feels
the effect Of wise acts, it engenders a
general prosperity, which like a broad
mantle, covers all the people. Aspirants
to public Office, who expect to use the
Republican party as a stepping stone to
reach the goal of their ambition, we are
fully aware, are not apt to entertain
these views. But, all the same, the move
will meet the appreciation, we believe, of
the masses, who study this question.

A Good Bill.

Notice has been given of the proposed
introduction, in the lower house, of bill
embOdying an act limiting the number
of paid witnesses in criminal cases to
five for the State and five for the accused.
Such law should be engrafted in our
statute books. At trials, before the dis
trict court, we have seen an array Of wit
nesses that-by the numbers-lOOked like
small brigade. Andit is not much out
Of the way Of facts, in many instances,
to assert that half of that number would
give stimony a.tOe ether irrelevant to
the matter at issue. Cases, where a few
witnesses would serve all purposes, seem
under our present system Of procedure,
to necessitate at least a dozen. Nova
days, no matter how slight ones knOwl-
edge even though that evidence, would
hardly weigh feathers weight in the
matter at issue, subpoena issues. The
parish Of course, fOOts the bill, and
the sum is, consequently, three timesl ar
ger than it ought to be. Now, it occurs
to us that five witnesses should be suffi-
cient, without injustice being done, to
prove all that one could wish to prove.
II more are necessary let the party inter-
ested call them and pay them. This is
fair. Because the parish is a kind Of
free horse is no just reason that it should
be ridden to death.

KELLOGG---GAY,

1t cannot have failed to strike the dis
eliminating and intelligent reader of
the country press Of the 3rd. Congress
sisnal District, that Mr.. Gay and Mr..
Kellogg may be the opposing candidates
for Congressional hOnors, at the election
to be held next November. A number of
our exchanges publish what may be re-
garded as INSPIRED articles" on this sub
ject. Mr.. Kellogg, it is known, has been
in Louisiana for about two weeks repair
ing, it is alleged, his political fences.
And by the drift Of remarks dropped by
his political adherents, leaves but little
room to doubt that he wants to be, again,
the standard bearer Of the Republican
party. Mr.. Gay, on the other hand, is at
hispost of duty, serving faithfully his con-
stituency. and has not, openly, shown any
inclination of his future purposes. As it
Is usage Of the Democratic party to

tive. we presume, that the custom will
not be deviated from, in this instance.
No one who wishes to consider only OBJ

Gay has fulfilled every pledge made, and
has satisfied the most exacting in his ca
pacity as loyal representative. He has
been weighed and found to meet all the
requirements asked by the people Of his
district. Take his course in Congress
it is open and above board. In our hum
