Gov. Gray expresses the belief that In -
diana will give her vote to the democratic
party next fall. He is not an over-sanguine
man, and does not expect the ticket to
sweep the state like a cyclone, or mad
river, or anything Of that sort, but in his
opinion a safe majority will be obtained.
The fact that he was not the choice of the
party for vice president, he says, will not
have the slightest effect upon his actions,
and he will give all the energy and applica-
ton he is capable of to the campaign. Gray
may not have been democrat prior to
1872, but certainly he is one now.

COWBOYS COME TO eRlEF.

On Monday evening 4 brace of in

enGeavored to do the bad man act as
laid down by the dime novelist ana
ACCORDING TO the traditions of their
calling. After filling up with pool
whiskey at one of the saloons they
mounted their horses and run amuck
up and down the streets firing indis-
criminately at every head in sight,
hopping, cursing and shouting like a
pair of Comanchc warriors. Shorty =

to correl them but was badly beaten
about the head with a six shooter and
left in an unconscious condition for
his pains. Several shots were fired at
him but none took effect. Constable
David Dawson then undertook the
task of arresting and disarming- the
men but was unsuccessful and received
several severe wounds in the attempt.
The citizens then turned ont en- massc
and opened fall broal-side on the
murdernus cowboys. which resulted IN
the instant death of Potts and the fatal
wonnding of Arthur and he died
in great agony shortly after. Both
Potts and Arthur were out of employ
ment and hanging around the ranges
waiting for a job. The injnries Of
Messrs. Lovett and Davidson are quite
painful but not serious. 1t is the
unanimous opinion that the citizens of
Buffalo Gap were justified in rescrting
to such desperate measures and that
The outlaws richly deserved the fate
which befel them.

Touching Plea for the Owl.

The owl is not a handsome bird, nor
is Il a tuneful one. In the pools Of beauty
the owl would sell in the field, and no
buyer would invest nickel on him in a
one-hundred- dollar pool as against the
California linnet or meadow lark as a
singer While not a beauty, however,
the owl has a broad, benevolent, open
face-a sort of Henry Ward Beecher or
Daniel Webster physiognomy, and we
would never accuse him of putting up
an underground or a star chamber job on
his fellow-birds on the eve of a conven-
ton. The ground owl of California is
in no way related to the Eastern owl,
who makes night dismal with his
screeching, and besides is painfully
ignorant o. the difference between meum
ct tuum, or, in other words, he is thief.
Honesty IS plainly written on our owls
face. He is not, as rule, aggressive or
combative, never even resenting slur
as to his lack Of beauty or vocal accom-
plishment. Mice and snakes are his
natural enemies, and the carcasses of these
worse than nuisances around his modest
quarters bear testimony to the fact that
when he goes for the snake or the mouse
he is in the campaign for business pur-
poses. \ protest is mere entered against
the small boy who either with muzzle or
bieech- loader wantonly turns loose and
slaughters the owl-as the young sports
man (N frequently does. The recent
rabbit drives have lessened the number
Of jack rabbits hereabouts. but these
rodents Of prey-score one, reader, for
not INJECTING pests on you-are still
painfully numerous, and the young
marksman might proiitably employ few
hours relaxation from attending school
or playing hooky, by practicing on the
worst of the farmers foes.-Fresno CAL

The Honey Bee in History.

1t was estimated over 800 years ago
bv DeMontfori, who then wrote "a work
on bees in French, that between 800 and
900 authors bad preceded HIM on the
subject Of Bookkeeping. Most of these
books were written in Latin and are lost
to the world, very few having been
handed down to us From remote an
tiquity the practice has prevailed in
Egypt OF collecting great numbers Of
hives in vessels on the Nile, and trans
porting them from pasture to pasture ac-
cOrdiug to the su cession of flowers in
the different districts. A somewhat
similar practice prevails on the Rhone in
France, and the conveying Of bees from
place TO place has been usual in Greece.
Asia Minor and Persia from the earliest
date
Strange to say, it is claimed that the
hOney-bee was not a native of the western
continent. We are told that without
doubt, there were no honev-bees here
until introduced by the Caucasian race
This seems the more strange, as it is said
that all the continents and islands Of
the eastern hemisphere abound with
them. 1t is one more illustration Of the
inextricable puzzles connected with the
geographical distribution of animals
Mt. Hybla, in Sicily. on account Of its
great variety of odoriferous flowers and
abundance of money, has been POLITICALLY
called the empire of bees, and Hymettus
in Attica, is in the same way famous.
The German, black or brown bee, is the
variety best known, as through all the
ages it has been most widely distributed
We find, however. that the italians were
known both to Aristotle and Virgil, who
sang of the sariegated, golden bee

pore were torn in pieces and scattered tc
the four winds, while her knitting
and embroidery materials were cremated
before her eyes Her only comfort was
an occasional salaam from the Telugu
woman who cared for her in Ahmedpore.
The chief had sent this woman to
Baroda to give Tara aid and comfort as
often as opportunity offered. But the
opportunities were few, for Tara was
sedulOusly watched By the Sassu, lest
she should make her escape.
Sometimes the woman disguised her
self as a bansle-seller, and succeeded in
secretly conveying food TO the poor girl,
who was made to fast until she was al
most starved. She shed bitter tears
over the life she had left behind, and
thought regretfully of the grand home
which the chief had offered her in the
far-away Marathi country.
Why had she been married in infancy7
Why should she not have a voice in the
matter of her lile's compartment She
asked herself these questions number
less times, but no answer came. She
had been born Hindoo, and she must
submit 10 Hindoo customs.
Time passed drearily enough, until
one day word came that Lalu had beel
sIain in battle Then the house was
filled with wailing. The mother beat
her breast and clutched her hair, de-
claring that vile, polluted Tara was the
guilty cause of all this. She was thrust
into the street. and told never 70 darken
their doors again.
Now was the Telugu woman's oppor-
tunity, and she came to TarR's rescue, as
the cartman had done years before.
At early dawn they were on their way
TO Ahmedpore. There was no travelling
across the country on foot now, but with
the swiftest speed of the iron horse; and
in twenty-four hours Tara was in the
midst of her friends in Ahmedpore again,
and the news was flashed to the youpG
chief in his southern home. vi
In few weeks there was grand we'd
ding in Ahmedpore-the grandest since
the time of the old Mohammedan kings.
The bride was lovely in her white
silken robes and diamonds, and the chief
was handsome in his full durbar cos
tune, with his jewel-hilted sword at his
side His garments were embroidered
with ed-pearls, and the diamonds COM
posing the aigrelte Of his turban would
have bought upa hundred villages like
the one in which Tara had in childhood
listened 10 the tinkling bells of the flocks
as she lay under the cottage roof and
thought of the distant stars from whence
she came.
