Uncomfortable Forces.

Every now and then we get reminder
of the existence of uncomfortable ele-
ments before which man is helpless, and
against which no invention can ever Sc
cure safety.
We have disastrous tempests on the
high seas.
We have destructive billiards like
those in Dakota.
We have occasional warnings of danger
from the slumbering earthquake.
We have extraordinary snow storms
which stop the wheels of traffic and in
terrupt our industries.
We have the lightning that threatens.
We have the times of baleful weather,
and solar fires that are almost con-
suming.
We are as helpless in the presence of
these elemental forces as were the men
who lived when first the human race
took up its parable.
Aud the men who live in the last days
Of the earth will be Just as helpless.
But this fact need not prevent Us from
enjoying the halcyon years, with their
varying seasons, during the whole course
of which mankind have felt reasonably
secure against the menacing agencies
which they cannot control.-NeO York

A Pig Causes International Arbitra-

Between two groups of islands in the
extreme northwestern part CT Washing
ton Territory run two narrow straits, one
called the Canal de Haro and the other
the Rosario strait Between the two is
San Juan Island. 1t commands both
water WAYS. and hence it would be of
great value to either country that owned
1t in case two nations should ever quar-
rel. The text of the agreement between
Great Britain ana this country reads that
the boundary should be ''the middle of
the channel" without saying which
channel A named Hubbs, who was
pasturing sheep on the southern end of
the island of can Juan, had for neigh
Dor on the north end a man named
Griffiths This Griffiths was employed
to raise pigs for the Hudson's Bay com
pany. The pigs Overran the island and
caused Mr.. Hubs great deal OF trou-
bic, so one day, in a moment of anger.
he warned his neighbor Griffiths that ii
another pig came upon his land he would
kill it. The very next day a pig did
trespass there Mr.. Hubs kept his
word and killed the pig Griffiths was
then as angry as Hubbs had been, and

An Ancient Umbrella.

An umbrella that was brought to this
country from Holland in 1880 has been
on exhibition in Albany, n. Y. 1t bears
the name of an Italian maker 1t has
been asserted that umbrellas are a later
invention than 1880 and that an English
man first appeared in the streets of Lon
don in the last century with one to pro-
tect him from the rain. The fact is.
however, that umbrellas were in use by
the Egyptians 1000 years ago. The UNI
brellas seen sometimes attached to a
vehicle in the streets are seen pictured
upon the wall paintings of ancient
Egypt.

she gave lessons, talk about him to her
bosom friend, detailing his good looks,
the amount of his fathers fortune and
his general projections, and declaring
that he was by far the most desirable

to have a certain timid consciousness
concerning him, because he always
looked at her so steadily when he met

PASoLA, Sep. 24.-There is seemingly
much unrest as to the probable yield Of the
cotton crop There never has been time
in my experience where so many disasters
have followed the farming interest Of our
community in one siort year. The severe
and prolonged drought ruined the corn
crops. The continued rain for days and
weeks has chased the hopes II many. The
heecy staple has an ugly hue for marketing.
It is only for few heeting days We have
had sunshine and then We make the best of
it, and pull the cooEy staple for all its worth.
Farmers are very much behind, cotton in
the fields and every body, 'by jingo." We
Panolaites are interesting ourselves on ta-
toes, peas, and goose sauce, just as happy

Let US get cool bath alternately with the
hot; it will be mora il the nature Of things,
more coogenial to the heated feelings of a
defeated candidate. Mr.. Editor, can you
gi7eme light on this all important query:
Why does poor fellow blame his neighbor
when beaten for Officer Why curse and
foam and look so ugly? Some men damn

come furiously il-natured. because they did

Our thriving little town has lost the rail-
