in the office of the clerk of the district
court yesterday. after reciting that both
parties to the litigation are legally
organized corporations, charges that the
transportation company unlawfully with
holds from the petitioner one carload of
cooper and silver bearing ore of the value
of $4,000, now upon a side track near

commencement of the action the plaintiff
demanded of the railway company the
possession of the properly in question,
and that the ore is withheld from the
complainant to its damage in the sum of
$1,000.

ATrue Story ofAu Unclean Cellar.

81 could not understand why that en-.
tire family of seven children should be
stricken with putrid diphtE eria, till had
occasion TO go into the cellar" a friend
said, who had been summoned to help
care for the sick and dying children of a
peighbor.
"We always though. the Wrights, with
their trim, white-washed fences aud out
buildings, their neatly kept door yard
and garden, the evident constant warfare,
form, the most Intelligent and cleanly
of families in our community, and
wondered what possible breeding place
for malignant diphtheria could Turk about
that home, till 1 went into the cellar.
"When I opened the stairway door a
horrible stencil of decaying vegetables
and tainted brine rushed up from the un-
ventilated, loathsome pit below, that they
called a cellar. The air was so heavy
with mold and stagnant impurities that
the flame of the candle l carried, flicker
ed and Tapped over, as though a weight
had been laid on it.
Hardly had I stepped from the bot
tom stair, before my feet struck slip
perry. Shiny chute of rotten pumpkin, and
L went down into the dreadful mash that
sent out its pestilential whiffs from the
very depths OF publication.
"The candle sill burned, and after has
tily rising from this unexpected tobog-
gaming across the cellar bottom, I hold
the sickly fame high and low, scanning
we'll that breeding nest of diphtheria and
other fearful germs, before cutting the
slices of sailed pork, for which had been
fn ha
choked throats, upstairs.
"Walls, green with mold and fungi;
decayed and decaying vegetables every
where; slosh of rotted apples oozing
their pungent juices from the bloated
slaves of dozen barrels; a great bin of
frozen, and thawed, potatoes, that to stir
meant development of gas, powerful
enough to run an electric plant if odor is
power. Under the stairs heap of pump
kins had been stored in the late autumn,
that decaying bloat-months before
had hoisted and rolled apart, some of the
mushing, sliding spheres falling directly
in the pathway and making the slippery
chute that had unbalanced aud mired me;
and in every corner, purifying stacks of
turnips and cabbages sending out their
penetrating, loathsome breaths.
THE cellar was as dark as coal pit,
the little three-pane light under the din
ing-room windows being buried under
the winter banking that late May still
found unmoved.
sThe vile gases and stagnant air, thick
with dreadful doors and disease germs,
had no outlet of escape from the cellar,
only by Granny and seam Of the heavy
timbered ceiling into the living and
sleeping rooms overhead. and by strong
rushes up the stairway, whenever the
opening cellar door stirred q current up
ward"
And, still, those parents wondered why
their sevsE young children, whom they
| thought to cherish and protect from
every harm, should be stricken with
dIphtheria, and called it one of the most
mysterious of Gods providences when
they were called to lay two of their dar-
lings under the sod.

An Invitation to Dinner and Surprise for a
Party on Horseback
The jar of heavy feet was heard. Some
young horses came down steep bill at
full run. Behind was a reckless, rapid
rider. The loose stock dashed past. The
horse that bore the rider was tossing its
head madly and singing white foam in
flakes from his mouth. He was g rear
ing, restless, heavy built, regulation
broncho, but it was remarked that he was
we'll under control, for he seemed to be
fairly rifted from side to side by the
rains ct the will of the rider, who drew
up to our resting place. We stared In g
way that was not naunerly, even in the
wilds of Oregon. The rider of the rest
less pony was young girl. She waited
with embarrassment for us to tell ouI

"Who lives here?" we asked.
81 do" she replied, in tone that die
not make Us feel any more at home.
"Whose garden is thiss' was the mex
question.
"Mine"
After pause she added:
Gan l do anything for you gentle
men?"
WS1l, NO1ly was dOOuu bhC
telligible answer at command.
"Wiu you come to the housed" she add
ed; ''iS is dinner time"
AS she rode before we looked upon 6
graceful rider, well rounded neaS figure
brunette. with the languid beauty sc
much admired in the Castil1an women
clad in coarse short skirts, below which
showed a small boot and keen, brigh
spur. Her rich saddle was new, strons
and double rugged. Her horse had no
stopped at the gate till she sprung to th'
ground. My companion stepped for
ward with Chesterfield bow, but too late
to assist her. She asked us to go to the
house while shs led her horse to the stable
When we were within q rod of the dool
we both started with surprise. A repulsive
sullen, scowling Indian was at each win
dow.
We were greatly surprised to learn tina
our hostess was a halfbree6. In hel
features or actions we had obs erved no
one trace of the Indian. Her demeanol
was modest. while at the same time sh,
was fully imbued with that Western lib

TARIFF AND WAGEs"-A Novel Discussion

George w. Elliott, a. NJ, Rochester, N. Y, has
just published in book form, through Mouton,
Wenborne & Co, Buffalo, N. Y, the very origi-
nal and interesting dialogue discussion between
Pact "a young graduate) AND HIS FATHER an
American farmer, which appeared serially three
years ago in The american Rural Home, and at
tracted wide attention. The father is a thorough
" well posted man of affairs, who is theoretically
free-trader, but practically, as an American,
strong defender of judcious tariff. He thus
treats both sides very fairly and gives each, in
the dialogue, chance to be heard. He discusses
general principles and under his theory that self
ishness must be the secret OF success of inter
national commercial policy and self sacrifice the
secret of success in national commercial policy,
he makes out strong defense of simple protec-
ton. In the matter of wages, he holds that
wages begins and ends with production, and
hence if judicous protection stimulates produc-
ton, as he holds, then iudicious tariff maintains
the source of wages This book makes men anG
boys think 1t unfolds the dark mysteries of the
tariff simply and should have wide reading

A watermelon, even though it be sixty
FOUNDER, is not intended to be deyoured
in pablo, nor is one watermelon, no mat
ter what its weight may be, more than
enough for one healthy person. This
fact is probably well known to every
country school-boy. The art of eating a
watermelon and keeping cool is as simple
as it was in the days of long ago. The
rind should be slit with a short-bladed
knife, so that when the melon is divided
the heart of it rests on one of the halves
in one lucious, JUICY lump. The knife
should then be carefully wiped and PIT in
the pocket. Then the coat should be
taken off and the sleeves rolled up
Plunge the right hand under one end OF
the heart and the left hand under the
other; lift the dripping mass to the
mouth and fall to. The juice will trickle
down your arms and saturate your face
but what of it? There is plenty and to
spare, though the feast is the rarest to
be found on earth.

TWO PIRATES.
GEORGE RANDALL.

In former days upon his deck
He stood, the old time rover,
With all obedient to his word,
The black flag flying over;
And cheerily on many seas
He piled his harsh vocation
OF plundering ali he CHANGED to meet,
Without an explanation.
He did not wait to hear plea,
Nor stopped he to be gracious;
He simply exercised his will
In manner quite audaciOus;
With cutlass in his strcng right hand,
And round oaths in his speaking,
He roamed al will about the globe,
His spite on mankind wreaAIng.
His victims gave up all they could
Then, If he took a notion,
He gaily sal & while they walked off
A plank into the ocean.
His heart no tender side possessed,
His avarice ne'er was Sated-
He drank and fought and plundered still,
With fury undated.
In modern times the pirate lives.
His manners though more pleasing,
But still he Keeps the record good,
BY plunacring unceasing.
Not with strange oaths and bloody ways,
And disposition regal,
But with cool and cruel heart,
And in ways truly legal.
He's dressed IN broadcloth Of the best,
He lives in princely mansion,
lie gives on Sunday to the church,
And helps on trades expansion.
But graSLing here and grasplLg there,
No firm grip ever losing,
He boards the treasure other men
Are YEARLY producing.
I sometimes wonder when he stands
Beside the ancient rover.
And the great Judge of right and wrong
Shall look the couple over,
If he who killed and drank and SWore,
Won't be above the other
Who in this later modern time
Puts gold above his brother.
