Mobbod by Chinamens

INDIANAPOLIS, June ia letter
which has Just been received here from
the wife of Albert Fulton, a Preeby-
teriau missionary sent from this city TO
X wal peng, China, gives q thrilling &C
count of how they narrowly escaped
death at the hands of Chinese mob.
Mrs. Fulton writes that their home and
their new little hospital, where sick
aud wounded soldiers were being given
Christian attention, were assaulted by
a mob of students and their servants,
who were incensed because the gam
bling places had been closed by th'
Magistrate. Wanting something to do
they came out to see what "the foreiRI
devils" as the missionaries were called
were doing.

The bill introduced by Senator Will
son, Of Iowa, to increase the rate on
fourth-class matter is exciting consider
able opposition, chiefly from the larger
cities Of the east. As tina rates are now
they enable large retailers in the prin-
cipal eastern cities to carry on quite an
extensive trade with country customers,
using the mail for delivering goods.
The postal rates not being affected by
distance, the field opened to the dealer
is not limited except by national bound
aries, and the New York merchant may
become dangerous competitor in
many lines with the local trade i'm any
part of the country. Mr.. Wilson is OPP
posed to this, and opposed to the gov
ernments provisions for the distribu-
ton of the mails and certain other
articles, for which it may properly fur
nish transportation between individuals,
being made means Of building up
trade i'm the great mercantile centers ut
the expense Of the local dealer. lie
PROPOSES such changes Of classification
as will preserve the advantages hereto
fore enjoyed for the transmission Of pro-
per articles between individuals and
such an increase Of rates on merchan-
disc as will either protect the country
merchant from mgOvernmcnt-aidedc COM
petition or will greatly increase the
postal revenues. lie hopes to accom-
,Ji-h both these results.
The heaviest deficiency in the postal
revenues arises from the transportation

ment does not over-step its functions,

Kit Carson was TO me hero in his

nero to see the doctors, who told him
his days were numbered. They set out
to return, for Kit Carson could not die

As they climbed the foothills beyond
the Missouri and began to look out
over the vast, rOOmy plains, and to
smell the sweet air Of the Rocky
Mountains far away, like the foamy
pillows, the old pioneer lifted himself
up ON his elbows. az he lay on his pal
let in the car, and beckoning Governor
Hunt to his side, said:

l send you my method Of destroying
prairie dogs, which know will be effective,
as l used It last spring. and raised this past
season IN excellent crop Of 90 acres which,
the dogs completely covered.
RECIPE. - Sulphate Of strychnia, one
drachm; granulated C. sugar. three ounces;
water. three pints.
Mix in q large.mOuthed bottle, and put
in shelled corn sufficient to ill the water 10
within one inch of the surface Of the water.
Set aside where it will not freeze. and when
the corn swells so that it rises above the
water. 1t is ready for use.
Regularly every morning made a pro-
corn within one or two feet Of each hole.
until found the corn undisturbe,l. when
filled that hole and found 1t was rarely
! opened again.
The best time to do the work is in the
early spring. before the grass starts, when
the dogs will greedily devour the corn and
they will sometimes be found ON the ground.
but most all manage to get into the holes
as soon as they are aware Of the poison
affecting them and die there.
Remember to secure the sulphate OF
strychnis, as the ordinary crystals Of strych.
mia will not dissolve sufficiently in water.
II. b. SHIRLEY, NJ. d., North Loup, Neb.
have had considerable experience in
that line and will state my way: Take II
One-eghth drachm vial Of strychnine, dis
solve it in four ounces of vinegar and dilute
il with water enough to cover one-siuarter
bushel of corn. Let it soak twelve hours
and then scatter one or two grains in each
hole or burrow. This must be done before
grass starts, as they will not eat the corn
when they can get green forage. This is
sure-W. NJ. MORsE. Greeley. Colorado.
Take old cotton rags and saturate them
with bisulphide Of carbon. and push then,
as far down the hole rs you can; ill up the
hole with earth and pack it tight. Thi,
volatile fluid quickly evaporates and forms

mother died yesterday morning, from
paralysis of the heart, and her funeral
took place in the afternoon. At 4 o'clock
the co:tege set out, headed by bullocks,
which were afterward slaughtered at the
mosque and distributed to the poor, with
baske's of bread. Then came guard of
mounted police, and $50 men of Her

by Egyptian cavalry and artillery, and
the Seventh and Third Battalions of Foot.
After these came the Khedive on foot US

Then came the coffin, preceded by

The Pages Of Congress-.

Fifty OF the brightest boys of the
United States are employed at the Ma
tional capital rs pages to Congress. Lit
tie fellows Of from twelve to sixteen
years of age, each with round, shining
silver Eadge on the lapel of his coat To-.
belcd with his number. They run in and
out of the halls, now darting through
the aisles under the very nose of menl-
Der who IS making great speech, now
carrying great arlnfuls of books to one
Congressman, and now taking letter to
pest for another, bringing a glass of
water to the man who is spl aking.
Here is one moving about with a great
album in which he asks each of the mem
bers to write his name; and there are
others busy taking the cards of ladies in
the reception-rooms to some Congress
man whom they wish to call out.
Tn. pages of Congress are gathered
from the four quarters of the United
States. They are chosen by the Ser
geants-at-Arms of each House, ard rep
resent nearly every State. The pay of a
page is two dollars and half day, for
the session, including Sundays, though
there is no work for them on that day.
They generally save some of their money,
but they must spend enough of it to
keep themselves we'll dressed. They do
not have very harl time, ard on ordi-
nary days their hours are from 8 o clock
until the House adjourns, at 4 or s..
About half of their Saturdays are holi-
days, as the Congress often adjourns Fri
day over to Monday.
The daily sessions begin at noon, but
the boys must be present earlier and file
each Congrcssman's bills for him. After
Congress meets they have plenty to do
in running errands. During night ses-
sion they grow very sleepy, and as gen.
eral thing they are not asked to remain.
When member wants page he claps
his hands, and the pages, who, when not
busy, are generally standing about the
clerks desk, in front of the House, or
slit ng on the stairs leading to the Speak
er's chair. run to him for their orders.
There are thirty-six pages in the House
of Representatives, and fourteen in the
Senate. Two of the House pages are
mounted, and it is their duty to carry
letters and messages on horseback for
Congressman from the Capitol building
to all parts of the city. They ride to the
Capitol, put the letters in pouch, which
they carry by a strap across their shoul-
ders, and then ride off for answers to
them.
Sometimes the boys carry notes to the
President, sometimes to the Secretary of
War. sometimes to the Attorney General,
and, in fact, to all the great departments
of the Government They enjoy their
work, and they are little envied by the
boys who stay under cover. Speaker
Carlisle, the tall, grave, smooth-face
man who presides over the House, has a
page for himself, as have also the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the House and its
clerk.
The pages are chosen by the Sergeant
alarms of the two Houses, and before
they are admitted to work they must
take the oath of allegiance to the United
States. Youths Conapanion.
