The Irish Troubles.

BELFAST, Aug. 10.-Five thousand troops
and $500 constables occupy the disturbed
districts. The presence Of the police tends
to increase instead of suppress the disor-
ders. Protestants declare that the Catho-
lies were the aggressors by wrecking the
protestant houses, while the Catholics are
equally certain that the protestants were
the aggressors. Of one thing there is no
doubt: Never did two mobs of different
religion display more bloodthirsty desire
to kill or MAIN each other. During the
fighting on Sunday and Monday whenever
powder ran short, viragoes on both sides,
with fiat irons and other implements,
ground large grains of blasting powder
into the size suitable for the small arms,
while boys of tender age melted lead into
bullets and slugs. While the rioters were
firing, the youths and women stood behind
them, busily loading the spare guns, in
order to prevent waste of time. The fu-
silade lasted until 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, when the ammunition gave out
ing the dead and wouned to their homes.
Both sides are doing their utmost to hide
their losses. On Monday the protestsnts
received the welcome donation of twenty
five rifles and much ammunition from their
Ballymaccaret sympathizers, while the
Ballynabinch nationalists sent the Catho-
lies supply of ammunition and many re-
volvers of the type called "Sweethearts"
The plentiness of the weapons will constl-
tute the gravest danger in the future. A
visitor who has been studying the cause of
the riots writes: 1T is useless mincing
matters. The police have fired upon and
slain the people from panic, if not from
vindictiveness. The people assert that the
latter was the cause, and regard the police
as murderers. not protectors. Friends and
neighbors of the killed and wounded all
regard the police as foes. Their bare pres
ence is terrorto be repulsed and excludes
the idea of wantonness. This is now the
supreme difficulty"

FROM MEXICO.
What a Diplomat Thinks of the CUT
ting Case.

ting Case,
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. ll.-Public senti-
ment here regarding the Cutting case is
still aroused, owing largely to the threats
of war from the state of Texas. In an in
terview to-day European diplomat said
that the United States and Mexico Ger.
tainly should be allowed to settle the cases
in dispute even if they have to resort to
friendly arbitration 1t is certain that the
state OF Chihuahua has as good a right to
her peculiar code as has France, from
which country chihuahua took her exam
pie. 1t is not likely that the United States
i'll q case of a similar kind with France
release OF her citizens The United States
views of this case will not be the views of
Europe.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 11.-Laredo, Texas, spe-
cial to the Globe. Democrat: Letters and
couriers arriving in Neuve Laredo, Mexico,
confirm the supposition that the revolution
ary party in Northern Mexico are in for
crossing swords with the United States. 1t
is reported on good authority that General
Casas, who has recently committed depre.
dations in the vicinity of Sabina, has of.
fered to join hands with the federal gov.
ernment and clean out the Yankees. From
Barras Linarres news comes that the pros.
pect Of war with the United States is
hailed with delight, as many in that sec.
ton wish to aid in wiping out the remem-
terey and Beuna Vista. The present sus-
pense is paralyzing business on the border.

AN OPPoRTuNE RAIN.

the forest fires are raging in northern Wis
consin, has impaired their progress and to-
nights advices are that the danger is
greatly lessened While not past. Colby
would have been destroyed but for the rain
and Wausau also narrowly escaped, owing
to the same agency. In other places the
fires remain unquenched. The village Of
Hansen is doomed. It is surrounded with
walls of flames and while women as well as
men are fighting the fire the water supply
is becoming exhausted. Brillion and Ran
toul, in Calumet county, are surrounded,
and farmers are hOckmg into the villages
for safety. Acres of grain have been dev-
aStated, and dozen buildings have been
destroyed at Pensaukee and Howard.
Around Little Sumaico the terror stricken
people fiocked into the village and found
railroad communication cut off. A woman
left her babe in her house and it was
BURNED TO DEATH.
Hundreds of people are homeless in the
stricken district. Coleman, Abrams and
New Denmark are in danger. The rain
saved Stevens Point, after thousands of
bushels of cranberries and millions of feet
of standing timber in the vicinity had been
consumed. At Sturgeon Bay the smoke

PERHAPS WE'RE WRONG.
Tits now stated that Cole Younger IS by far the
abest of the brothers and is the favorite preacher
in the Saltwater prison, where he expounds gos-
pei every Sunday. We are surprised, that with
the large number of preachers in the peniten-
tiary, Cole Younger should be the favorite We
deeply deplore this tendency to bring new re-
form into the pulpit. A few months ago the min
listers of Gods gospel were set to chewing to-
bacco. studying up on slang phrases and negro
minstrel jokes by the success of Sam Jones and
Sam Small, but for heavens sake, let it stop at
that We can get along with our ministers COM
mitting such small breaches of old fogy etiquette
as these, but for the sake of our wives and chill
dren, don't make the good preachers believe that
they've got to go around pumping lead into peo-
pie, robbing banks and .holding up travellers to
make success in the pulpit. .ttH sir e,.-
All, etop Perhaps we're wrong. We see the
point, and it is well taken. Ah yes we see it all
now, and it is easy to account for the attempt to
secure pardon for the evangelical prisoner.

They want to put him in the west where it is diff

as the gopher turtle. This creature has
a shell nearly fifteen inches long, and
is so strong that it can move under a
weight of two hundred pounds, SO that
it might easily carry a man on its back.
1t lives in underground burrows in
sandy forests, and does its prowling by
night, often making havoc in the sweet
potato and melon patches of the inhab-
itants. So the good people of the Cult
States do not altogether relish the
gopher.
It is the water-turtles, the terrapins
of our fresh waters and the great sea
turtles which are the delight of epicures.
OF the fresh-water species we have sew
eral varieties, from little fellow of the
waters of Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sew not four inches long, to the great
and fierce snapping-turtle with she'll
nine inches and more in length. 1t is
said to have been taken of four feet in
total length, from snout to end of tail.
To kill this creature does not kill its
swapping propensities; the head will
live for hours after being cut off, and
has been known to snap boys finger
or the leg of an investigating hen hours
after it ought to have been dead. 1t is
not a safe thing to throw the head of a
snapper in the grass as trap for prowl-
ing chickens or curious boys.
There is one other odd popularity of
tortoises and some other reptiles with
which we may conclude. If we want
to breathe freely. we open our mouth
to do so; but if the mouth of tortoise
or a toad be kept open by inserting
stick between its jaws, it will soon suf-
focate for want of breath.
This may seem impossible, yet it may
be easily explained All the higher
animals breathe by pumping the air
into and out of their lungs. We do
our air-pumping by means of the dia-
phragm, a broad membrane below the
lungs, which moves up and down at
every breath. and opens and closes the
lungs successfully. In the tortoise the
mouth is the pump. 1t takes in u
mouthful of air. Then it closes its
lips, contracts the cavity of the mouth,
and drives the air down into its lungs
If the mouth be kept open, this pump
will not work, since the air will rush
outw ard instead of downward.
This is one of the odd facts of nature.
AS many fish can be drowned by being
fastened under water and not allowed
to come to the surface, so many air.
breathers can be suffocated by being
placed in an ocean of air with their
mouths wide open. - Charles Norris
