A NEW CLUE.
John T. Norris Claiming to Have Discov-

cred Hulligan Murderer.
RAvENNA, o., May 9.-The grand jul
ry has found an Indictment against
William Powell for murder in the first
degree. He is charged with the muir
der of William II. Hulligan, the Cleve-
land detective. Detective John I. Nor
ris went before the grand jury yester-
day and made the following statement:
"Gentlemen, l want you to find an in
dictment for murder in the first degree
against Bill Powell for assisting to MUIR
der William H. Hulligan on February
4, 1851. have investigated this mat
ter thoroughly and am convinced that
he is one OF the men who did the kill
ing. don't want a cent until this
man is convicted and executed. All
ask is that you find the indictment"
Norris then introduced his evidence
against Powell. 1t could not be ascer-
tanned what the evidence was, but 1t
was strong enough to cause the grand
jury to bring in a true bill as requested
Norris was questioned in regard to
the evidence against Powell. All he
would say was that it was strong
enough to convict Powell, Pat Hanley
| and Billy Harrington. Powell is now
serving a sentence in Georgia. He is
on chain gang working in the mines
at Cold City.
Norris has already secured requisitior
papers and as soon as possible he, il
company with some Cleveland detect
i've will go after their man and bring
him to Ravenna to await trial. Norris
claims that Coughlln and Robinson
had nothing to do with the assault
but that Morgan, Powell, Pat Han
ley and Billy Harrington are the fou
men that rescued McMunn. Hanle!

What a Child Did.

Only few days ago mother and
her daughter, on their way from Phila-
delphia to Omaha, were changing
trains at one of our passenger stations.
Suddenly the girl caught sight of her
father, a San Franciscan, ON his return
journey from New York. He had
parted from his wife six years ago on
account of some domestic infelicity.
The child called his name
20 papa! There's papa"-and ran
toehim. He clasped her in his arms.
But her work as peacemaker was
only begun. "Now come over to mann.

much, and has told me often how good
papa always was" The appeal was ir.

What the Horse Knows.

The horse knows what we teach him.
Ordinarily the animal is susceptible Of
q considerable degree of education.
But naturally horses differ in intelli-
gence. We believe that we never saw
a horse that was so stupid thatit could
not be trained into reasonable efficiency
and responsiveness to teaching. But
superior intelligence in the horse is
valuable, and yet ordinarily it is not
taken into consideration. When q
man buys a horse he will likely con-
slider every thing except the matter Of
intelligence In common work intelli.
xence is valuable, and in breeding it
should always be taken into considera-
ton. The eye of the animal will tell
a great deal as to the intelligence OF
the creature. A dull, sleepy eye sug-
gests sluggishness OF intellect. A
bright eye suggests the contrary.
Some of<the large breeds of horses
have been called stools" 1t is an
error. however. The draft horses are
as bright as any horse. But the ex-
preston shows that while the great
mass of people perhaps never estimate
the value Of superior intelligence,
some do prize 1t. National Stocknsa,,

KEEPING CARBAGES.
Waldo F. Brown Tells How to Store The n
Through the Winter.

Waldo F. Brown Tells How to Store Them
Through the Winter.
The keeping of cabbages through the
winter is troublesome, for we have
many difficulties to guard against. If
kept too warm they will grow and
split, or rot; if they freeze they are
sometimes injured. and it is difficult to
get at them, and often the feld-lnice
destroy them in the pit. If the heads
are mature and solid they should be
buried roots up, but loose heads can be
pitted roots down SO as to grow a1d
make solid heads by spring. ~
To bury cabbages select dry iani
with slope to carry off the water. pull
them on a dry day, and if there is any
water in the heads invert them and let
them drain. Open a trench eight
inches deep and wide enough for about
four rows of heads packed as closely
as they can be. You will leave q part
of the loose leaves to protect them and
no straw will be needed, but the
earth may be shoveled directly
on to them. Put on from ten to
twelve inches of earth and shape
it up SO as to keep out the rain. After
the ground freezes protect the pit with
straw or corn fodder, so as to prevent
freezing and thawing, as this is what
spoils them. Enough for use up to
Christmas may be stored in boxes in a
cool cellar.
Loose heads may be stored roots
down and will grow and make solid
heads by spring. Open fiat trench
four or five feet wide and set row
across the upper end, setting them at
an angle of forty-five degrees with the
heads packed as close as possible, then
cover the roots with earth, tramp it
down on them and place another row
with the heads resting above the roots
of the first row. When your pit Is
filed it will show a solid mass OF
heads. Now put up boards foot wide
or more around the edges and cover to
this depth with light litter, using drst
corn fodder and then leaves and put a
roof over it, and although the heads
may freeze a little the roots will not
and the cabbage will mature and be
crisp and fresh in the spring. If you
see signs of mice put some pieces 81

around the top Of the pit. Waldo F.

MEMORY OF INSECTS,

a Observation-Disclosures Case Reported by ~
Noted Naturalist.
A valuable contribution to natural
science has been made by Prof Edward
Hotter, in the discovery of remark
able power of memory in the humble
bee. The little creature has evidently
u strong sense of locality, comparable
to that of the carrier-pigeop.
The professor removed 4 nest con-
tanning numerous bumblebees (Bona6us
terrestris) from its original location.
and carried it to his residence, about
three miles distant. He further care
fully watched the place for some time,
after having captured all the bees who
had flown to the defense of the nest,
and secured, it was believed, the entire
colony.
These he imprisoned for several
hours in a wide-mouthed bottle, and
safely reunited them in their new
home. At his house he placed the
nest, with its inhabitants, near a win
dow, and after the latter had been
"
mediately the bees began to fly out,
and in doing so must have observed
their surroundings, for in q short time
they one by one returned.
The following night, however, there
was severe storm; and while the in
habitants of other colonies of bees
near it, that had become accustomed
to their surroundings, were not in the
least troubled, these bees escaped and
hid themselves somewhere without
during the storm. Upon searching for
thom early the next morning, the
queen was found dead upon the ground.
while fifty or sixty of the workers
we're seen flying about the house.
From time to time one or another
probably those which had flown out Of
the entrance the day before-found the
opening and returned into the nests;
while the remainder, after flying about
for several hours, gradually disap-
peared till not one was left. AS it was
supposed that they had in all prob
ability returned to their previous nest,
the place was visited in the afternoon.
where at least fifty of them were found.
They had thus, it will be seen, dis
tinctly remembered il, and after they
had sought in vain to find entrance to
their new home, they had depended on
their wonderful sense of locality and
returned thither. Chicago Advance.

THE RAZOR CLAM.
"A Peculiar Blsalve Which Looks Like
4 Shaving Implement.

A Peculiar Blvalve Which Looks Like q
Shaving Implement.
Catching the razor clam is furnish
Ing an abundance of novel and excit-
ing sport to those who still linger in
Goose Rocks, the secluded resort u few
miles below Biddleford which Nine.
Rhea blessed with her presence a couple
OF seasons ago. and thereby became a
worshiped divinity in the eyes Of the
rough and warm-hearted people Of this
section who go down to the SEQ in
ships. Do you know what tho razor
isp No? Well, it is nothing like an
ordinary clam that finds it's way into
our stews and boils and bakes; on the
contrary, it is as different as black is
from white. The razor clam closely
resembles the handle of razor in
shape and general appearance, and
from that fact it got it's name. 1t is
found in but few pla ,es on the Maine
coast, Goose Rocks being the only spot
in the vicinity. and at only certain sea-
sons.
The razor clam Is black in color and
Is cunning as a fox, and it takes pa
thence and Il quick hand to catch one.
This peculiar species of the bivalve is
a good deal like the Irishman's flea,
and many Il man who has gone out to
capture the sagacious little fellow has
made the disappointing discovery that
when he thought he had him he was
not there.
The razor clam, in it's season, Is to be
found with about half an inch of his
shell showing above tho sand, and ut
such time Il stretch of beach looks
much like corntield in the fall of the
year after the harvesters have gone
over it. A football upon the sand in
their vicinity will occasion a sudden
disappearance of the whole army, and
sometimes a whole hour will elapse
before there will be temperance.
First one little bit of black shell will
pop up through the sand, then another
and another, and so on until the beach
again bristles with them. In catching
the razor clam one has to exercise the
creep on the beach on hands and
knees, and when near enough to the
little black object to seize it with
firm grip and hold on for dear life.
The razor clam is muscular, and if the
hunter relaxes his hold All iot;l he is
sure to lose his game, which slips
from his hand and goes into the sand
like a flash of lightning. never to be
recovered by any amount of digging.
In this respect the razor clam diff
fers from his sluggish relative, for he
is an adept at digging himself, and
when pursued with the aid of a shovel
or clam-rake he works his way through
the sand with surprising rapidity and
is soon beyond reach.
It is these characteristics that rem.
ders the sport of catching the razor
clam intensely exciting and much
sought after. 1t is a laughable sight
of warm afternoon, when the razor
clam is abroad, to see the beach at the
Goose Rocks alive with men solemnly
and cautiously creeping along on their
hands and knees, suddenly making a
dive at u bit of black shell showing
above the sand and holding it and tug
ing away for dear life, and then, after
an earnest exertion and the exercise of
no little strength, pulling a six-inch
black object out Of the mud.-Lesvis-
