"A Strange and Vicious Animal Which Csn
rot Be Olassed.
AUGUSTA, KY, May 14.-Sunday eve
ming, as Frank Dintzler and John Elem
ing were walking along the pike near this
city, their attention was called to q
strange looking object in tree near by
Toe object was larger than q full-erown
eoon, and they were at o loss to know
what 1t was. So they gathered some
stones, and by we'll directed throws SOON
brought it to the ground. Their dogs set
upon II, but one dash was all they
could stand, and they lit out for home.
The animal, Whatever 1t was, showed
great fight, and it was only by almost su-
perhumsn efforts, that it was dispatched.
When killed, 1t WAS found to be twenty
four inches in length and weighed four
teen pounds. Its head and forefeet were
like 3 squirrel, aud its hind feet were like
coon. Several old hunters have been
shown the carcass, but cannot agree on
name. 1t was Of gray color. 1t will
be stuffed and preserved.

A SHORT MEMORY.



"Bsrney" Gibbs seems to think 1t q
little strange that the Galveston News
should try to convince Houston that deep
water at Galveston would dou lie the
population Of thst city, while claiming
that deep water at Aransss Pass would
depopulate San Antonio, wbnss CONNER
cisl situation to Arsnsas Pass is about
the same as that Of Houston to G ,lveston.
N jthirg strange about it. The N VS. wants
houston to help secure deep wster at
Galveston. and vans San Antonio to
work against deep water at Arkansas Pass.
Fne News appears to think that people
believe everything il says on the psrticu-
lar day OF publication, remembering
nothing said the day before, aud indulg-
ing In no speculation as to what the old
lacy will say the next day. Sae does not

THE MOUTH OF THE BRAZos.
Han ton Dat


The pre- ectors of the Improvement at
the mouth OF the Brszos river for a deep
water port for Texas in the ABSENCE OF
any appropriation by Congress for that
purpose, have concluded to do the work
at their own expense, and to that end
there has been introduced in both Houses
OF Congress bill authorizing the syndi-
cate to erect letties from the mouth of
the river into the gulf of Mexico.
This bill does not ask the gov
erDment for any money, but pro-
vides thst Congress can, st any time
before and after the completion
OF the work, elect to take it fl Of the
hands OF the syndicate by reimbursing
them for the amount expended for the
construction of said works. Consequent
ly, II the project is not success the gov
eminent loses nothing. The projectors
have the utmost faith IN their ability to
secure deep water At this point, at lessI
cost than at any other place on the Texas
coast, and are willing to e12end their
own money to carry it out and give the
government the right to take it eff their
hands and control it at any time. Cen1
tainly this movement must receive the
hearty approval of every citizen of Tex1s
and OF every member of Congress from
Maine to California who desires to seed
deep water on the gulf coast. The best
engineering talent in the country has been
employed, Mr. E L. CorthelI, the success
sor ct Captain EAds, being the chief en-
gineer, who pronounces 1t entirely feast
BILE and practicable. The Pre- sctors
say that with the. means at their
command they have no doubt but |
what they will secure twenty-five feet of |
water at this point whiting the next TWO |
years il the government will grant them
the privilege Of spending their own money
for that purpose. 1t behooves the press
and every citizen Of the country to urge
Congress to pass this bill at once. III
these men are willing to spend their own
money in the project there certainly ought /
20 be no opposition. It will interfere
with no other point on the coast, and WI
can't have too many deep water ports. "a

ous other creatures appear to be quite important. Tn America, some twenty or more species mammals burrow in the forest, and Overturn considerable earth, though the quantity of this is quite insignificant in comparison with that acted upon by invertebrates. In the moist forests where they abound crayfish may bring to the surface, over moderate areas, material which may amount to a complete covering two feet deep in half a century. Over extensive districts, or at least throughout eastern North America. the ants are evidently by far the most effective animal agents ill pre- pairing soil for plant use, the part they play being much greater even than that of the earth-worms them selves. The latter are confined chiefly to cultivated clayey fields, while the ants rapidly overturn the soil-mater- ial as we'll within the forest as in the open fields wherever that material is of sandy nature.

A Magnificent Dramatic Temple.

It is now conceded that the Hay market theatre, Chicago, is the finest playhouse in the west; and that, in fact, it has no superior in the country. In size it surpasses not only all other theatres in the west, but stands almost without a rival. A well-known lit erary man of Boston, who recently att tended a performance at the Hay market and who was asked what he thought of the house, replied:
 "I was simply dazzled by its mag nificence. In the east, you know, we have an egotism which has hardened into an honest belief, that the Boston theatres are the best in America"
 "You shared that belief, of course,' some one remarked.
 "Well, 1 won't acknowledge that, but I will say that the Haymarket surprised me. Why, it is one of the sights of this great city. It is grand"
 Mr. Will J. Davis, manager of the Haymarket, made many friends in the south when leading the Chicago Ideal Opera company through the land of flowers; and each one of those friends, upon visiting Chicago, should not fail to visit his magnificent dramatic temple.

 ''It was the last trump to him, mon colonel" said one of the soldiers, "though it did save us. We found him dead on one side of the breach where the savages entered, his hand on his drum. It was easy to read, that story was. He saw the Arabs steal in, and the only way to warn was by the drum. He beat it, though he knew he was beating his own dirge. Ah, he was brave, our little drum mel p
 Colonel Harcourt turned aside, for, daring soldier as he was, he did not choose his men should see the tears in his eyes,
 In his native village you may still hear the story how the little drum mer saved his camp. Colonel Haute- court erected memorial pillar to him in the village square, telling, in few words, how and where he died :; and, while they lived, the old father and mother would gaze at it with dim eyes; it seemed to them a message from the dead.
 It was as if he said, "Weep not, for it is glorious to die as I did, to save others. "-IOUtRs Companion.

How Time Flies.
Boston Herald.

How "age steals on." Causeur was in an uptown street car, a morning or two since, and next him sat man of perhaps thirty, of magnificent physique and possessing a moustache which the most dashing cavalry colo nel might covet. At his side sat a bright little boy of about eight years, apparently on his way to school. They had evidently had some talk about the war, for the little fellow said:
 "Papa, when was the battle of An tietam?"
 Why" said the father, q don't know exactly; it was some time in the early part of the war"
 But" persisted the boy, "don't you remember it, papa?"
 "Remember it? No, my boy, I don't. 1 couldn't have been more than four or five years old when it was fought. Ask your grandfather. He remembers it."
 And then Causeur fell into train of serious thought. Can it be that there are men grown, with children old enough to attend school and ask questions, who don't know, and ap- parently don't care, when the battle of Antietam was fought men to whom the details of the war are as much a matter of history as are the details of the Mexican war to Causeur? He was alive when they were fighting at Cerro Gordo, at Chepultepec and at Moline del Key, but which of these fights was victory for our side, he has not, at the present moment, the least idea, nor does he take enough in- terest in the matter to look it up. But can it be that we are getting so far away from the war, the memory of which war burned into us older fellows, that there are grown men who have not thought it worth while to inform themselves in a detailed way about it? "Age steals on," indeed.

New Use for Alcohol.
Kennebee Journal.

A certain doctor in this city was called upon the other day by a man who desired to get prescription for alcohol.
 "For what purpose?" asked the.doc- tor.
 "Mechanical," said the man, with countenance honest enough to look any judge in the country out of coun- tenance. After writing the prescrip- tion and handing it to the man, the doctor said:
 "For what kind of mechanical pur- poses do you intend to use the alco- hol?"
 Saving wood. Good day, sir" was the reply.
