OF course the Sun intends to treat its

therefore has no wish to create an unjust

please specify any slur which this journal

Carey-always excepting our quotations
from correspondence or other matter from
its own columns? The LEADER has
neither felt nor intended to express the
least disrespect, nor has it in any way
%impugned the motives of that gentleman,
who as a private citizen bears a high
character from which we should be the
last to detract, while as a public officer
we hold his acts as objects of legitimate
criticism-but when the Sun boosted, as
the whole party continues to do Of his

there been any slurs or insinuations. The

The Sun, however, being itself so far
above suspicion of "%slurs, cannot even

thing, but our contemporary should be
more charitable to the failings Of those to

One of the happiest men in the heat of
summer is the game dealer. 1t is true

his shop floor, keeps him delightfully."-
cool. 1t is not sufficient to keep game
on ice; they must be positively frozen.
and a large freezing mixture of ice and
salt is hence necessary. In Europe game
isn't considered worth cooking until it
is high and almost rotten, but here it
must be kept fresh and sweet, or no one
will touch it. The freezing-room also
serves an excellent purpose in enabling
us to keep game until it is in season here
and elsewhere. Game laws in different
states vary very much, and we are able
to sell game freely at the seaside when
we daren't show it in st. Louis. Birds
can be kept frozen eight and nine
months without having the flavor
affected in the faintest degree, and this
is very convenient.-S Louis Globe

BRITISH DOORS IN AMERICA


An EnEiishman who Sees Much to Con-
denim In His Own Countrymen-
Americans are sometimes heard to
comnlain OF the manners OF a certain class
of Young Englishmen who ought to know
better. They are accused OF accepting
American hospitality and Of neglecting
the conventionality OF dress and etiquette
which are customary in good European
society. The American naturally resents
the idea of an Englishman doing in
America what he would not do at home,
and very justly considers such action a
want If proper respect toward his enter
tainers. 1t is hardly likely that any
man, calling himself a gentleman,
would deliberately wish to insult his
host. 1t would be difficult to find a term
too strong to characterize the atrocious
nature of such an offense against good
manners and gentlemanly breeding; the
explanation is probably to be found in
tho gross ignorance in regard to all
things connected with America, which
is sometimes to be met with in England,
even among the so-called educated
classes.
The ordinary Englishman's idea about
America are often hazy, and sometimes
mythical. l hope the generation is now
defunct which was under the firm o n
viction that all Americans were black;
but there are, l fear. some still to be
found who when they speak of America
picture to themselves a country in the
early stages of civilization. This is not
to be wondered at when we consider
how meager is the information impaired
at English schools or colleges in regard
to the history, geography, politics or
progress of this great country. The re-
suit of this is that some Englishmen
firmly believe that a dress coat and a
silk hat are unnecessary impediments to
the transatlantic tourist. and conse-
quently %scandalize their hosts by appear
ing at dinner parties in shooting coats.
and on Fifth avenus in knickerbockers.
1t is also difficult for them to realize
that a black o "a is de rigueur. not only
at New York, but / more than a score
of other cities OF the Union, and that
Americans are even more particular
than Englishmen with regard to the lit
tie conventionalities OF society. The
former are, perhaps. a little conserva-
tive upon some of these points; but this
should make an Englishman only the
more careful not to be guilty of any act
which could be construed into want of
respect for either the country or his
hosts.
The kindness, the hospitality, the
courtesy which a traveller meets with in
the states will make him anxious to do
all he can to chow his hosts that he is
sensible of the trouble they have taken
to make his stay in the country agree
able. There is a general disposition
among all classes of Americans to be
civil to Englishmen. On the street, in
the cars. in the hotels the traveller will
often be astonished at the amount of
tr, uble which the unknown American
will voluntarily undertake in order to
assist n,m, or to render his journey or
sojo4u N a place more agreeable. 1t is
mucn ~ be feared hat Englishmen do
not aip avs as readily put themselves out
for Americans when they visit Great
Britain Lord Brabazon, in Time.

Our amiablc contemporary is able to
give the exact amounts spent by the first
two Democratic delegates for Wyoming,
and of coursc expects to be believed with
out further proof on account OF the
great care with which it avoids reckless
assertions. 1t has ever been limited that
Judge Carey spent TO secure his seat an
amount in excess of the highest figures

Rotation of forest growth has long
been a theme of spcculation-for exam
pie, how the oak takes the place of the
pine after the latter is cleared off. In a
paper contributed to The American Nat
uralist Mr.. John I. Campbell gives some
notes of his own observation on the
agency of birds and animals in this re-
suit. OF these he gives the palm to the
crow. al have seen crows" he says,
-gather by the hundreds and have a
regular pow-wow or mass convention.
As they start to fly away many, if not
all, will drop something. l have found
these to be acorns, w~alnuts, hickory-nuts,
buckeyes, sycamore-balls, sticks, egg
shells, pebbles, etc. AS a crow leaves an
oak he will pluck an acron, which he
may carry five miles, and light on a
beach tree, where something else will
attract his attention, when he will drop
the acorn. and may be pluck a pod of
beech nut, and fly away somewhere else"

1t may be asked why the people, after
so many warnings and calamities, per-
sist in living on the thin crust flooring
the fields over those subterraneous fur
naces. h fact is that the friable soil
formed by the decomposed lava is of
marvellous fertility where there are the
means of irrigation. and it is very easily
wrought-as in the forest region we
come upon magnificent groves of the
oak. the lex. and the chestnut. the pine,
the beech, and the lime. So that the
villagers run the risk of being occasion
ally ruined or swallowed up in con
sideration of the comfort they enjoy
between times; and. putting their trust
in the guardianship of the Virgin and
the saints, congratulate themselves on
being much better off than their neigh
bors.
Yet when you see Etna in the glow of
of a Sicilian sunset fancy can scarcely
associate the mountain with menaces of
death and devastation. Not aver in the
transparent air of the Libyan desert,
Pickering over the burning sands behind
the huge pyramids of Ghizeh. are the
splendors of the dying sunset more
glorious. The hidden furnaces would
seem mysteriously to add an intensity of
sympathetic reelection to those celestial
fires of orange and crimson, till the
flashing lights, fading down into vivid
puppies, make the barren lava beds and
the broken precipices blaze in what may
be prosaioally described as great breadths
of purple picked cabbage. No artist has
ever caught hose tints, which are simply
unseizable by pen or brush. -Blackwood's

Gen. William II. Jackson, of Tennesa
rec, recently visited his old-time comrade
and friend, Gen. w. ~. Averill. of
cavalry fame. and the two were recount
ing "reminiscences of adventures on the
frontier Thirty years ago they were
young lieutenants in a regiment of
mounted riHemen, then serving in New
Mexico.
Averills regiment was resisting a pre-
datory band of Kiowas. Lieut.. Jackson
was in the combat as Averilrs guest.
Averill was a good shot, but was using
a small Colts revolver, and a Kiowa
chief with whom he became engaged
did not pay much attention to 1t,
although twice wounded by it, once in
the side and again in the thigh. In
cooking the pistol for the third time the
spring of the lock broke, and, as they
were at close quarters. Averill rushed
upon the Indian and tried to brain him
with the weapon. The chief seized the
lieutenant, and a wrestling match en-
sued without any hippodroming. They
became locked together. The Indian,
with his left arm around Averill, held
the lieutenant's right wrist with vise-like
grip of his left hand, preventing the use
OF the pistol, while in turn the right
hand of the savage, with a knife in its
grasp, was held off by Averilps left
clutching his wrist. Round and round
they plunged and twisted and strained

rapidly approaching nearer and nearer
to Averill's throat, VIII n Jackson, who
had been looking for his friend. found
him in this deadly embrace. AS he rode
up Averill was wondering if that Indian
would ever tire out or pause for breath;
but he was as strong and active as a
young buffalo," which was his name.
Then he heard Jackson's voice sing out:
STEADY, Averill, I'm going to shoot"
But he Indian heard the voice also,
and took good care to keep Averilps body
between him and the proposed shooter.
pair, and placing the muzzle of his piss
tol directly against the Indians right
arm, fired, breaking the bent arm both
above and below the elbow. The Indian
coolly dropped to a sitting position and
exclaimed in Mexican-Spanish: "Shoot,
curse you!"
A cowardly Mexican, who had been
hiding near by brought a heavy revolver
to Averill and begged him to kill the
Indian; but Averill replied: "No, he is
a brave man, and l would sooner kill
you."-New York Sun.

Or TIL Offices to be filled next month.
there is absolutely but one which requires
any special training in order to enable
any man of fair business qualifications to
discharge its functions to the general sat
i~sfaction after a few days, or at least a
few weeks, practice. The only possible
excuse for the continued retention in
Office Of the same man, term after term,
must be that experience has so perfected
them hat they are better qualified than
any competitor could be. Is this the
case? When they themselves were first
elected they were doubtless as perfect
within a few weeks after taking the oath
of Office as they are to day. Therefore,
any man equal to themselves in the
rudiments of business education
might soon equal them, for it is
well known that in routine
matters, one soon learns all hat
may be learned. On the other hand, the
longer incumbents ofsuch Office remain in
the almost mechanical discharge of their
duties, the more careless they become.
AS to the county clerkship, probate judg-
ship, and, to a less degree, the position of
sheriff, very little thought is required to
convince a fair minded man that these
conclusions are correct, and to dispel all
the false reasoning based upon the as
sumed superiority of those who
now hold place. EFor all that. the
argument is likely to be repeated as
the only shadow of excuse for a purse
which really can find none. 1t must be
conceded, however, that the gentlemen
who hold the fat places OF clerk and pro-
bate judge cannot be blamed for holding
on as long as they can get support. That
is but natural the strange part Of it all is
that their party which contains hundreds
of men equally fit for, and certainly en-
titled 10 aspire to these places, that these
men should bow as to an absolute decree
and remain content with the unsatisfac-
tory part of casting the votes to keep per
petually in office men whose claims are
no stronger than their own. Outside the
party, and its purchased or otherwise
induced support, the discomfort is
great. There will never be a lairer chance
to break the machine which dominates,
and the only chance to unseat these men
aspiring to lie tenure, is to defeat them
at the polls, and to this end Republicans
not willing to become mere voting tools,
should lend their ready help,

and 1t had fair opportunity to observe and
no reason to mi-lead. Mr.. Teschemacher
seems 10 be rather an unsafe man. Mr.
Riner, for his part. is a member of a
firm representing all. or nearly all. the
corporate interests within the territory.
and it is scarcely probable that his mani
fold duties to these clients would allow
him time enough for full and considerate
discharge of his legislative duties, we're
he to be elected. Besides, there might
be a danger of conflict between the in
terests of his Cheats and those of the
people, which has never occurred to his
mind. and which might either way com
pei him 10 an unpleasant choice. No
doubt he would choose well and his con-
science would stand the tension, but
there is no necessity for submitting it to
the strain. He ought to be defeated, 10
