The attractive sign on the east

In 1885 the special school tax
Of Sharp county amounted to sl9l2;
and in 1886 the amount was S+2G3
more than doubled. Judging from
the number of districts that voted
for special tax at the last annual
school meeting, the amount will
show an increase of more than $1,000
in 1887 over that collected in 1886.
The clerks Office and its appur.
tenances are moved down to the old
drug store building formerly owned
and occupied by Mr.. Wright. With
a little more light on the west side
things would look cosey and at
home. The front room will make a
splendid court room, while the large
side room can be used for grand
Jury room, and the small back room
is q comfortable office for both sum-
mer and winter use Now if the
building only belonged to the county
the RECORD would be much better
satisfied.

LONDON, May 12.-Michoel Dayitt, in n
speech at Liverpool today, said that Irish
men would not be an iota behind O'Con-
nell in resentng the papal rescript. Ire
land had done more for the church among
people throughout the English-speaking
world than any country, and il this was
Rome's gratitude, Irishmen would bc
likely to ask themselves questions in the
matter Without wishing his remarks to
be construed as an attack on, or Us show
ing disrespect to the church, he said that
whether the rescript was intended us u
political pronunciamento or not, il would
be regarded, and had already been hailed
rs such by every coorcionist paper from
the Times TO the meanest Unionist rag. He
was confident that the rescript had added
three months TO Mr.. Dillon's sentence.
lrsihmen were compelled to believe that
the rescript was due 10 English intrigues,
and Ireland would not accept political die
taIion from Rome.

DR.. slzetohly Experiments without the

From Texas siitings
Before the handsome plumes that adorn
the expensive hats OF our girls and the
girls Of other people appear upon the fear
fully and wonderfully constructed articles
OF haadgear, they are in charge Of the old
ostrich himself or herself, as the case may
be. and serve to point moral aud adon u
tail.
II may be news 10 some Of our readers,
but II Is a cold.blooded fact that there are
ostrich ranches in Texas, rs well as Cali
fornia. Australia and other outlying points
of the universe. II was mt one OF these
Texas ranches that the following incident
occurred, which We willingly youch for,
NJ al hours Of the DAY or night; and when
ever We vouch for thing IL may be set
down ~ 20, or nearly 30.
A certain Dr. Sketchly undertook 20
pluck one Of his oslrichos the other day,
and now he shcs at the very name OF Os-
trich, and would rather risk proximity 10
a mule than get behind an ostrich. When
an ostrich il 10 be pluckcd long stocking
II drawn over IL head, and while Il is inn
possible for the great ungainly bird to see
ANYTHING Il will remain ~ quiet a. q lamb
and allow itself TO be dcnuded OF It's
plumcs withoutonc word Of remonstrancc,
or even a solitary kick. But II 30 hap
poned that DIR. Skeichly, being n triflc
near-sighted, did not observe that the toe
OF the stocking which he was using "a n
blindfold was sadly out Of repair. In
fact, this particular stocking was minus
the toe, while the heel also was as full Of
holes as calendar. and while the near
sighted doctor was engaged in plucking
the costly plumcs the poor ostrich was
working III head for all he was worth,
and finally succeeded In getting the stock
ing down around about his neck, and
| then he took a view Of the proceedings
going on in his rear. The doctor
was very busy, his mind intent on
the probable amount he would receive
| in dollars aud cents from this particular
bird-yery particular bird he proved 10 be.
The ostrich sized up the situation minuiely
and acted accordingly. Tho doctor was
too quick for the deadly bird, however, and
stepping lightly aside allowed the full
force OF the blow 10 fall on the bead Of q
board fence, which was shiycrcd into
ioothpicks, and the bars being let down IN
this accommodating manner, tho doctor
made n wild break through the opening
and ran for his life. II was a curious
spectacle, that old wcaihor.bcaion ostrich
charging around the barn with three feet
Of black stocking wrinklcd around hi,
neck, and n flying medical gentleman
rushing up TO the house 10 relate his mar
row escape.
As no lions are found where the gorilla
roams, 10 no mules are found in th,
vicinity Of the ostrich ranch especially
In Texas.

PARIS, May l3,-Gen. BoulOngcr speak
ing last night at the dinner given in his
honor at Lille, declared TO his hearers that
it was not he who advised distant oxpedi-
tons, causing deficit. His crime was
simply desire to concentrate the military
forces instead OF scattering them in the
service OF sharpers who never hesitate be-
tween personal gain and the public ruin.
'Ihe originators OF these criminal cam
paigns are the men who accuse me OF
dreaming of war and q dictatorship. "
Then, severely attacking the Chamber OF

"ltis not OF me, but OF you, that they are
afraid" lie concluded his remarks with
his usual arguments in favor OF Boulangist

arose among them, during which the po-
lice made several arrests. During his

LONDON, May l3.-Lord Salisbury was

members Of the House OF Commons and
others, who asked the government TO pro-
tect trading and suppress slave dealing in
the Soudan. The premier explained that
there were only two alternatives with
drawal from Suakim, which would mean
the dominance Of Osman Digma and the
slave trade, or the continuance of the
Egyptian flag NJ Suakim. An English
prOtectorate, he sa'd, could not be thought
