A Curious rhibetan Musket.

A curious Thibetan musket or matchbox
has found its way from Silkim, where it was
picked up after a battle, TO Calcutta. 1t IL
described in tho Indian papers as of primitive
design, although comparatively new. 1t is a
smooth-bore muzzle-loader, mounted on a
long, narrow stock. The barrel is fitted with
a double-pronged rest, the points of which are
sharply shod, SO that the rest itself may either
be placed firmly in the ground or used, il
necessary, as a bayonet. The contrlyance Is
ingenious, and the weapon is not altogether to
be despised. Attached TO 1t is belt, on which
are strung six hollow wooden plugs for pow
der charges, and a small horn for printing
powder. The Workmanship of the whole Is
very rough, and there is scarcely any attempt
at ornamentatlon.

CAUSES OF DEFEAT.
What the Cabinet Say About tho Republi-
can Victory.

" htih int OHDintN guy hbuhb tho AhNBN-
can Victory.
The election of Harrison is conceded by the
President and his Cabinet, says the Baltimore
Sun. This conclusion was informally reached
yesterday, when the President and his advisers
assembled around the Cabinet board for the
first time since election day. Secretaries
Bayard, Falrchild. Whitney, Endicott and At
| torney-Genoral Garland were present Post
masterGeneral Dickinson and Secretary Was
were the absentees. As there was no official
business laid before the meeting, several hours
were passed in discussing the political sltua-
ton from past, present and future standpoints
Each gentleman present had different idea as
TO what was the cause of the overthrowal OF
the Democratic party. Secretary Falrchild
said 1t was incomprehensible to him.
Various reasons suggested themselves to
him, but other considerations Immediately In
teryened, leaving the subject still cnveloped
in cloud OF mystery. He, as well as MS col
leagues, are convinced that the Republicans
were provided with an enormous campaign
fund, the bulk OF which was not expended
until the last hours of the canvass. No one
present was prepared to admit TINT the tariil
question had accustomed the trouble, and 1t
was pointed out that New Jersey and Con-
necticut, both manufacturing States, had sup
ported the tariff reform issue. The manage
ment of tho campaign was reviewed, and
while IL was generally commented, scVelhl
instances were cited TO show that serious mis-
takes had been made. There was no attempt
to throw the blame or the responsibility upon
individual shoulders, and all admitted that
money was the most important factor in the
contest.
Acknowledgement Garland, as a representa-
tive Southern man, takes very serious view
of the situation lie would regret to see
restoration OF the obnoxious "carpet bag"
government In the Southern States. Secre-
tary Bayard and others expressed their opin-
ion on the subject, and one by one the mem
bers of the cabinet left the White House aud
returned TO their respective departments.
The President viewed the situation with
more calmness and resignation than any of
his advisers, and looked at 1t from a practical
and common-sense standpoint. lie did not
enter into details MS to why tho Democrats
failed to carry New York, bnt simply said
that 1t was a contest between two great parties
battling for supremacy on certain well-defned
principles. The Republicans won and the
Democrats lost that is ali there is TO 1t. He
Informed his associates that he proposed to
take a day off tomorrow and go cunning, II
the weather permitted, thus showing there is
no fear Of his becoming respondent over the
result.

Progress in yellow Tovor rroatm Q mt.

The percentage of deaths from yellow fever
at Jacksonville SO far this season has been
only about 81 per cent. This, however in
cludes new cases which have not yet termi-
mated, SO that 10 per cent. will perhaps be
nearer the actual average, but that rate is
rather below than above fair estimate. This
shows wonderful progress in the treatment of
this disease since it first came under the
notice of the medical profession Of the South
ern States. Twenty-Five or thirty years ago
the deaths were equal to not less than one
third of the total number of cases, and some.
times ran up to one-half. This was in the
days of 'herolc" medicine, when the fever was
fought with quinine and other active agencies,
but now 'the mild power cures" and the
death rate is correspondingly lowered. -[Waco

Quite q Case.

On Wednesday case was presented
before Judge Osborn in chambers. One
of our citizens, Mr.. Murray, late of the
Wa-Keeney Bank. was plaintiff, and G. G.
Stebbins, another of our neighbors, was
defendant. The plaintiff was represented
by 8. r. Cowick, Esq, Of this city. and
- Hessin, of Manhattan. Mr.. Murray
some time ago loaned Mr.. Stebbins $500.
With the view of securing fund for
the payment of this amount, in the case
of obtaining favorable judgment, Muir
ray had the goods of Stebbins's store, at
Leonardville, Riley county, attached.
F. Danford, Esq, attorney for the de-
PENDANT, won the case on Wednesday, the
Judge dissolving the attachment. The
defense has taken an appeal to the SUI
preme court. Back of this case is said to
be the fact that Murray and Stebbins had q
verbal understanding to share equally as
partners in Pan Handle of Texas land
deal last spring. Stebbins is said to have
put up one thousand dollars on an option,
with the understanding that Murray
would share equally with him in the pur-
chase. Murray, when the test came, re-
fused to do so, as the story runs. Steb-
bins claims on this account at least a par
ial offset for Murray's claim.

WILL NOT BE REMOVED.
Grover Says the Kansas Land Off,
ces Shall Remain Where They
Are.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 16.-The
Secretary of the Interior and the Pres
ident are being urged to order the re-
moval of the United States Land Office
from Wa-Keeney, Kansas, to the town of
Dighton, some thirty miles southwest.
A delegation of Dighton citizens has been
here for some time pushing the matter,
but it is understood the President has
finally concluded to allow the Office to
remain in its present location. He has
recently rendered similar decision re-
garding the proposed removal of the
Garden City, (Kan.) Land office to Dodge
City. Notwithstanding the fact that a
special agent who had been sent west to
investigate the matter recommended the
removal in very decided terms, the pres
ident deemed it unwise to make the
change. In deciding the matter, he
declared that until the business of the
offices became small enough to warrant
change in the size or shape of the districts
there could be no wisdom or economy in
removals from one to another.
In view of the present condition of
affairs in the Larned land district, which
adjoins the Garden City and the WA
Keeney districts, it is not impossible that
some change may be found advisable.
Register Brownlee, of the Larned Office,
was suspended some time ago for alleged
crookedness in the affairs and successor
was appointed. Register Brownlee, claim.
ing that the charges we're untrue and un-
just, refused to vacate, and the senate has
thus far declined to confirm his successor.
Meanwhile the secretary of the interior,
disguised with the situation, has
officially closed the registry department
of the Larned land Office, and ordered an
investigation of Receiver Bickel. The re-
suit of the investigation has not been
officially announced, but the Larned land
Office is practically closed to all business,
so far as Secretary Villas and the interior
department are concerned. A consolida-
ton of the two land offices-Garden City
and Larned-is talked of as among the
possibilities of the future.

country is not half supplied yet.

Rev. J. G. Elliott filed his regular ap-
pointment at Banner, Sunday. He tells
your scribe that the school board at Coll
yer have closed the school house against
him, because he did not ask them what
he should say when they asked him to
talk at the old settlers meeting. Gen.
tlemen, can you afford to treat the Meth
odist in this manner? The Methodist
church is at least respectable, and think
you may yet be sorry for this move.

Mr.. Rinker will break an immense lot
of prairie this summer; not less than
eighty acres.
The stir among the Downer people is
surprising of late. They work and tug
from o'clock P. M. to $50 in order to get
out crops, that they may reap an abund-
ant harvest.
There will be Sunday school conven-
ton held in the Downer school house, be-
ginning Saturday evening. Sunday ser
vices will begin at $50 A. M. A large at
tendance is anticipated.
