DEATH OF Mr.. THOMAS GILKEsoN.-In
one of the recent billiards in Dakota this
gentleman, formerly citizen of Lewisburg,
was frozen to death. He and colered
man were hauling hay some fifty yards from
the house when the storm suddenly came
upon them. Knowing that his wife would
be alarmed, Mr.. g. told the colored man to
run to the house and he would follow him
IN few moments. But so fearful and
bewilderiug was the storm that it took the
colored man about four hours to find the
house, and Mr.. G., losing his bearings, wan
dered off about four miles and was frozen
to death. Greenbrier( " Va. Independent.

A LAWSUIT AND SHOOTING AFFAIR
Charleston, ". Va, Feb. Yesterday
morning at Kanawha Falls there was law
suit before justice of the peace in which
one of the Riggses and one of the Huddle-
stones of this city were parties. The case
did not suit Erwin Riggs, a young member
Of the Riggs family, and in order to show
his dislike he became involved in row with
some of the Huddlestone boys, which re-
suited in young Riggs using his gun. He
shot old man Huddlestone twice, once in
the left leg below the knee and in the right
hand.
The wounded man is about go years old,
and it is feared that his wounds will result
fatally. During the row stones were used
quite freely, and a number of persons who
were trying to quell the trouble we're injur-
ed. Sheriff Money, who was endeavoring
to make peace and to arrest the rioters, was
struck with poker and slightly injured
All parties were arrested this morning.
Young Riggs and ono eff the Huddlestone
boys were held to answer before the grand
jury.
A despatch from Charleston, W. Va, of
the 9Th Says
"1rvin Riggs and man named Mitchell,
who were implicated in the shooting of AL
bert Huddlestone at Kanawha Falls, escap-
ed from their guard last night and have not
been rearrested. Riggs was the man who
shot and wounded old man Huddlestone
last Monday evening""

Prehistoric Remafns.

The work of exploration and scientific
investigation that has been carried on dur
ing the past fourteen months in the desert
lands of Arizona by the Hemingway expe-
dition has produced very satisfactory re-
suits.
Several thousand specimens of pottery,
domestic utensils, shell-work ornaments,
stone tools and implements, etc. belonging
to the ancient race of Pueblos, have been
unearthed and are being classified for
future reference.
Some of the specimens of pottery and
ornaments, as shown in diagrams, are of
the most interesting character. In Jugs
and jars bird-forms are seen; one is like a
bird without 4 head, the wings being
roughly indicated on the sides, and on an
other bird head springs from one side.
The decoration is generally in conyen-
tional lines. The stone implements are
principally choppers, AIDES, mills for grind
ing corn, and other forms the use of which
is probleniltic. The stone axes and other
tools of a Ike nature are believed to be
superior in variety of form and in beauty
of finish to anything heretofore discovered
as the work Of primeval man.
The shell work is frequently covered
with beautiful designs, and with these APP
pear clasps, curious little bird forms carved
out of stone, and fnger-rings and bracelets
made out Of shell and inlaid with turquois
and othersprecious stones. Many of these
would be accepted as clever works of
art to-day. The sea-shells were brought
from a great distance-as far as from
the Gulf of California, or the shores
of the Pacifc-being carried in loads.
packed on the backs of animals, and
thus transported over the mountains. One
beautiful specimen of shell work shows
the figure of frog, made by coating the
back OF a shell with a kind of LACQUER.
In this lacquer are embedded mosaic frag-
ments of turquois of various shades. TIE
surface is rubbed down smoothly, and the
work as whole is not only unique but
beautiful from an artistic point of view.
The expedition has also given much at
tention to the study of the ethnology, an
thropology, history and archaeology of this
ancient people and has obtained a great
deal of valuable information on all these
subjects.-N 7. Globe.

On one occasion the women of Rome
gathered in numbers and made public
appeal. The circumstances were these
The triumvirS, Octavianus, Anthony and
Lepidus, had prescribed large number
of citizens, and they confscated and sold
their estates in order to meet the expenses
drug in the market, and besides, people
were unwilling TO purchase property ex-
posed to sale in consequence of violent
acts. The sum, therefore, obtained from
the sales fell far short of the amount re-
quired, and the triumvirs had to look to
other sources of revenue. They accord
ingly passed a decree that / 400 of the
richest women in the city should lay be-
fore them an exact statement of their
means, with severe penalties against con-
cealment or differentiation; and they
claimed the power to employ any portion
of the wealth thus reported to them for
paying the expenses OF the war.
The women were thrown into the ut
most perplexity and distress, but they
could lind no man daring enough to plead
their cause before the triumviri. Left to
their own resources, they went first of all
to the sister of Octavianus and the mother
and wife of Antony. The sister of Octa-
vianus and the mother of Antony gave
them kindly reception, but Fulvia, the
wife of Antony, drove them from her door.
Thus insulted, they turned to the tribunal
of the triumvirs. Hortensia, the daughter
of the famous orator, Hortensius, spoke
in their name. She delivered powerful
speech, which is highly praised by the
great Latin critic, Quintilian, and she sue
ceeded in getting the demands of the tri-
umvirs reduced to a comparatively small
sum. These public appearances of women
were, of course, only occasional; but they
were frequent enough to show that women
had interests Of their own, and had reso-
luton enough to assert them when such a
course was necessary.-1he Contemporary

Feeding Cows in Finland,

To any one who could be satisfied
with an unvarying diet of fish and black
bread, accompanied by the best cream and
butter that can be found anywhere, it
would be easy to satisfy his wants in any
part Of the country. How the cream and
butter come to be so good is a mystery to
me, for assurcdly the Finnish COWS are the
worst and most scantily fed of their kind
What other COW that respected herself
would be satisfied with hay soup, in which
the water formed so unfair proportion to
the hay? The most meagre-looking hay,
mixed with the dried branches Of alder,
SINNERS in huge iron pot, and one sees
the poor beasts dipping their noses into
the unsavory broth and fishing out its sod
den contents with the evident relish of
hunger. 1t was complained to me by a
resident in the country that cows could
not be induced to look upon sawdust as the
staple of their food How far he had seri-
ously made the trial DO not know. but
should he ever succeed, there will be a
rich prospect for Finland in dairy farm
ing.-Murdys Magazine.

Bill Nye Patronizes a Washington Rarber.

The barber who waited on me asked me
if | wanted a shave. A great many bar
bers ask me this during the year. Some
times they do it from habit, and some
times they do it to brighten up my life
and bring smile to my wan cheek. As |

and by direct course of reasoning arrives
at the conclusion that when 90 into a
barber-shop and climb into 4 chair do so
for the purpose Of getting shaved, and not
with the idea of having my fortune told or
my deposition taken. Still BARRIERS con-
tinue to ask me this question and look at

large quantity Of lather was put in my ear,
and, as he needed it, he took out what he
required from time to time, using his finger
like paint-brus5 and spreading on the
lather as he went along. So accurately
has he learned to measure the quantity Of
lather which an ear will hold that when
he got through with me and I went away
there was not over 9 tablespoonful in either
ear, and possibly not that much.

Wine as a I3everage.

DIR. Felix L. Oswald, in Popular Science
Monthly, says: at is, indeed, a remark
able circumstance that in the home OF the
best wine grapes, in Greece and Southern
Spain, drunkenness is far less prevalent
than in Scotland, or in Russia Poland,
where Bacchus can tempt his votaries only
with nauseous vodka" To this very sig
nihoant observation, from great author
ity, it may be added that intemperance, in
all grape-producing and wine-drinking
countries, is far less than in the non-grape
producing, and rum, whisky and gin-drink-
ing countries. Therefore, all rational tenn
perance men, like those of France and
Germany, should advocate wine as a
beverage, to the exclusion of distilled alco-
holic liquors; and, like them, whenever it
may be necessary, pledge the people
against their uses in social life, as prone
to lead to appalling abuses, such as now
disgrace in many nations, including our
own, the civilization of the age in which
we live.

Decrease in sheep In Europe and America.


At the annual meeting of the Austria
liam Mortgage, Land and Finance Com
pany, held fortnight ago in London, Sir
James Card, who presided, said that he
alluded with satisfaction to the mainten-
ance of the price of wool, and the brisk
demand. Between the year 1870 and the
present time there had been diminution
in Europe and the United States of g.
00G,000 or 100000 sheep, a decline
which must naturally affect the price of
Australian meriuo wool" As suit
able corollary Sir James intimated the
payment of the usual annual dividend
of 20 per cent. on the capital of that c.
iossal company, and the carrying over to
next account of e32, 600, or $l55,000, that
being the surplus profit The reserve fnnd
OF the e1mpany was stated TO be 1852, 600.
