Badger Girl Killed by Lightning.

During the thunder storm that pre-
vailed yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock, Badger Girl, one of the most
famous trotting mares ever owned in
the state of Wisconsin, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed. The
mare was standing under tree at Cold
Spring park and her 5-months-old colt
stood by her. The colt was stunned
and lay apparently dead for several
moments, but recovered consciousness
and will probably live. Badger Girl
was % years old and leaves behind a
record of 2:223 made on June %, 1876.
She was by Black Flying Cloud, and
was owned originally by J. S. Rowell,
of Beaver Dam. Two years ago Mr..
Rowell presented her to j. G. Boyd, of
this city, who has owned her since.
The colt was sired by Milo, with rec
ord of 2:21, and is expected to prove
valuable animal should he recover from
the effects of the lightning.-Mil7vaakee

CUSTER'S LAST BATTLE.
4-Paw's Scouts, Cowboys and Indians In
the Greatest of Dramas.

4-Paw's Scouts, Cowboys and Indians in
the Greatest of Dramas.
The tragic battle of the Little Big
Horn, where the gallant Custer lost his
life and where Uncle Sam lost the brav-
est band of scouts and soldiers in the
frontier army, has been but imperfectly
told in story and pictured on canvas,
and its realism has never been so eff
fectively shown as in the Forepaugh and
Wild West Combined Shows, and
which, by the way, exhibit in Water
town, Saturday, July 90 The drama of
"Custer's Last Rally" is enacted on the
great quarter mile hippodrome track,
which affords abundant room for action,
and the various characters of the mem
orable fight are portrayed by DR.. w. F.
Carver, Pawnee Bill, Roundup Bob,
Sergeant Wagner Clusters old courier)
and contingent of two hundred ex-
cavalrymen, scouts, cowboys and Sioux
Indians, many of whom actually par
ticipated in the bloody engagement.
The horses used in the "play" are all
trained and when shot at with blank
cartridges fall over, apparently dead,
and this, with their seemingly dead
ridt rs. faithfully illustrate the carnage
of the battle. The scouts, cowboys and
Indians also give remarkable exhibi-
tions of riding, shooting and lasso-
throwing. The Wild West is, however,
only one of the many startling and stu
pendous features of the big dual show,
which includes A. Forepaugh, Jr's,
wonderfully trained horses, dogs and
elephants; triple company of high
class exponents of acrobatic, gymnastic
and equestrian science; mammoth
double menagerie, and a museum of
living human phenomena, together
with extensive aviary and aquarium
disnlays

In Defense of the Sparrow.

Col. n. Pike, of Brooklyn, who inn
ported the first English sparrows into
this country, in recent interview says
in defense of his action that before the
introduction of the sparrow the meas
ure worms made some Of the streets of
Brooklyn almost impossible, but the
noisy little bird soon exterminated the
worms. He says he has noticed that
the sparrows clear the bark of his grape
vines of the eggs laid by destructive
moth, and plants in his garden have
been rescued from the devouring aphis.
He considers the sparrow, for this rea-
son, very useful bird; for insects null
tiply SO rapidly that were it not for the
insectiverous birds the earth would
soon be overrun by crawling pests:
The departure from cities of the ma
tive song birds is attributed by Col.
Pike to foul odors from gas and sewer
pipes and the want of privacy for nests.
He says were it not for the ill-judged
sparrows, cities would now be almost
entirely devoid of bird life.
The sparrow may, after all, have his
uses. Painters have noticed that there
are not now so many spiders and SO
many deposits of spiders eggs as be-
fore the advent of the sparrow.

Lincoln's Religion.


The forthcoming (August) number of
The Century will contain a chapter on
'ELincoln and the Churches in the
Lincoln History, by Messrs. Hay and
extract from advance sheets:
He was man of profound and in
tense religious feeling. We have no
purpose of attempting to formulate his
creed; we question if he himself ever
did so. There have been swift wit
nesses who, judging from expressions
uttered in his callow youth, have called
him an atheist, and others who, with
the most laudable intentions, have re-
membered improbable conversations
which they bring forward to prove at
! once his orthodoxy and their own in
timacy with him. But leaving aside
these apocryphal evidences, we have
| only to look at his authentic public and
| private utterances to see how deep and
strong in all the latter part of his life
was the current of his religious thought
and emotion. He continually invited
| and appreciated, at their highest value,
the prayers of good people. The pres
| sure of the tremendous problems by
which he was surrounded; the awful
moral significance of the conflict in
which he was the chief combatant; the
overwhelming sense of personal re-
| sponsibility, which never left him for
an hour-all contributed to produce, in
| temperament naturally serious and
predisposed to spiritual view of life
and conduct, sense of reverent accept
ance of the guidance Of a Superior
Power. From that morning when,
standing amid the falling snowfates OH
a railway car at Springfield, he asked
the prayers of his neighbors in those
touching phrases whose echo rose that
night in invocations from thousands Of
family affairs, to that memorable hour
when on the steps of the capitol he
humbled himself before his Creator in
the sublime words of the second inau-
gural, there is not an expression known
to have come from his lips or his pen
but proves that he held himself an
swerable in every act of his career to
more august tribunal than any on earth.
| The fact that he was not communi-
cant of any church, and that he was
singularly reserved in regard to his
personal religious life, gives only the
greater force to these striking proofs of
his profound reverence and faith.

The Couvivial Clerk of the House.

Before the House of Representatives
was changed from the old hall that is now
devoted to the reception and exhibition
of statues of specimen statesmen, the
is now the document room. In an ad
joining apartment the Clerk kept barrel
of whisky always on tap and not closely
guarded. 1t was usually put in at the
beginning Of session, drawn off in 4
smaller vessel to lie conveniently used on
the Clerks table and every body who was
SO disposed was free to use the liquor. 1t
did not cost much, for 1t was not taxed
and it could be bought for thirty or forty
cents gallon. The free use of it some
times made even the Clerk Of the House
frisky. There was one clerk who was
famous for his size as we'll as his original
ity and his thirst, who, after c!ickin Z
glasses with friends the morning of last
day of q session, went to the door of the
Senate with e House bill that it was
necessary should be passed. "The Seal
ate is in executive session." he was
informed, and could not admit him. He
returned to his room. By and by he was
interrupted as he was about pouring out
a dram of whisky from pitcher by a
messenger from the Senate making
anxious inquiry for the bill. Drawing
himselfup as high as circumstances would
permit, and tossing off his whisky, he an
swered: "You go back to the Senate
and say to the honorable body that am
in executive session and cannot be inter.
rupted. Washington Letter.

Use Of the Beavers Tail.

1t is common belief that the beaver
uses its tail as trswel to plaster the
mud on the walls Of its house and dam
Captain Hardy studied the habits of the
animals in Nova Scotia some time ago
and came to the conclusion that this
opinion was not we'll founded.
The vulgar opinion that the broad tail
of the beaver was used to plaster down
the mud in its work has long since been
pronounced erroneous. It's real use is
evidently to counterpoise, by An action
against the water in an upward direction
the tendency to sink headforemost, when
propelling itself through the water by it,
powerful and wchbed hind feet, and al
the same time supporting the load Of
