A GLIMPSE OF CORK.

Sights Seen in City of Ireland on a
Bright snd Bustling Day.
Cork looked very bright and bustling
the day we reached it. We had made
some stops here and there on our way,
mostly at out of the way, picturesque
villages, and so deeply had their quiet
impressed us that Cork, with its cars rat
tling up and down the steep, stony
streets, its noisy quay population, and all
tho hurry of the lower town, had the air
of a stirring metropolis. How it would
strike us if we had visited it imm ediately
after landing from the Cunarder and
with the rush of Chicago and New York
still fresh in our recollection cannot
say, but it impressed us when we did see
it very favorably. While there were, of
course, some evidences of the universal
"bads times" there were many signs of
undoubted prosperity. Its connection,
through Cove or Queenstown, nine miles
distant, with America, accounts largely,
think, for the latter. In the streets we
noticed many shops devoted exclusively
to the sale of American products, meats,
fruit, tobacco, agricultural implements,
sewing machines, etc.
In the very gait of the people we fan
cicd we could see an American freedom
and energy. And the contrast of this
modern dash and life with the gray re-
minders-centuries old many of them
of bygone times that meet .one every
where is very impressive to the stran-
ger. Exceptionally fascinating was it
all to US, seeing it in the lingering pale
twilight of the day that had the north
in a sky of tenderest blue and the south
in its balmy zephyrs. Old.and weary as
time itself seems Ireland in the rain, but
tho new morning, the rosy dawn of
childhood are no fresher or fairer-
nothing can be fresher or fairer than
Ireland when the magic blue of her skies
bends above her and the caresses of the
south wind play upon her.
Women in very ugly capped cloaks, but
comfortably shod and trim of head
servants and worlingmen's wives-were
bringing home basketfuls of marketing
from the great English market" as it is
called. Carriages waiting for their oc-
cupants were in line outside the dry
goods shops and bookstores; men of the
coal HEAVIER type were going homeward
in groups, smoking and chatting cheer
fully among each other; bustling coun-
trywomen with many an excited objur-
cation dragged their dilatory husbands
to the carts outside the public house
doors; cabs and outside cars dashed
madly alongthe streets; lights shone in
tho shop windows and those of the
hotels, and a melancholy man near the
bridge was playing the air of "Bellews-
town Races" in a manner that seemed to
have its effect on the feet of all who
passed. And that was how .4the beauti-
full city" appeared to us on the occasion
of our first visit.-Nora Creena in Chi,

The main provisions of the Sioux
bill, so far as the settler is concerned,
are about as follows: The land is to
be open to settlement under the
homestead act only; in addition to the
fees provided by law, the sum of $1.25
per acre must be paid for all lands dis
posed of within the past three years
sfter the taking effect of the act, and
the sum of seventy-fve cents per acre
for all lands disposed of within the
next two years following thereafter,
and fifty cents per acre for the residue
of the lands then undisposed of. The
provisions of the bill are such that
unless the consent: of the indians is
obtained, proof Of which is made to
the president, and the latter issues his
proclamation declaring it open to set
tlement with one year from the pas
sage of the act, then it becomes Of no
effect and null and void.

Argus Leader: The capital of the
state, to outsiders, will generally be
considered as the largest and best town
in the new state. Immigrants seeking
for a location universally go to the
capital city first and then as univer-
sally go west of that to purchase land
and build up a home. This is a law as
well established as the laws of COM
merce in which produce is always sent
for distribution to city east aud not
west. Suppose Sioux Falls is the capi-
tai. immigration will stop here, look
west and settle on the available land
west of this city. Suppose it is located
at Mitchell. The immigrants will 60
to Mitchell through country which
abounds in cheap farms, stop there for
q short time and then go west, buying
farms west of Mitchell and leaving an
unsettled strip between this city and
Mitchell. Suppose Chamberlain

will be passed by. Suppose Pierre A
strip yet larger will be passed over
Locate the capital, say at Pierre, and
immigrants will look for land west ol
that place.
BY this process of reasoning the sec.
ond choice of the AL. should be
Mitchell.

Judge Gresham is prominently men,
toned as the successor to the late Stan
ley Mathews. Let's see! Judge
Gresham is the man to defeat whom, in
case he should be nominated for presi-
dent at the Chicago convention last
summer, Jay Gould pledged $1,OOO,OOO
We thought at the time this ought to
be sufficient grounds for his nomina-
tion, but it was not so considered by
the powers that be. Now, the next
best thing that could be done with
Judge Gresham would be to give him
the vacant judgeship. We can think
of no way just at present that would
afford Jay Gould better opportunity
to spend that million of dollars.
Judges Gresham and Barrett in a po-
sition to combine would be able to
make an ordinarily healthy trust look
pretty sickly.

The Universal Atlment.

Exchange: A philosophical writer
in the Medical Record answers the Oft
repeated query "How can prevent
catching cold." by saying that not only
is there no way, but that it is a good
job for humanity that there isn't.
To the man who is suffering from
an aggravated type of this universal
ailment, this may seem rather "cold"
comfort, but there is matter for profit
able reflection in the professors state
ment. The red and watery eyes and
sneezing nose are the red lanterns and
fog signals which warn us of danger
ahead. One-fourth of all fatal illness
comes from the failure of our respira-
tory organs to withstand assaults of
the weather furnished by our signal
service bureau. The hose stands SEN
tinel over these organs, and when it
gives forth its warning symptoms; the
careful man will not neglect the hint,
but will take the proper precautions to
arrest further mischief.

sneeze to the wise is sufficient"

Hunting "a Coyotc.

Pullman Superintendent Ellwood, of
this city, Superintendent Tom Urquhart,
of the Los Angeles division of the South
ern Pacific, and Superintendent Beal, of
tho Atlantic and Pacific, met in Mr.. Dr.
quhart's Office at N1ojave one day, and
agreed to go hunting upon the Kern
county desert for coyotes. They armed
themselves with rifles, secured carriage
and driver, and started out early in the
morning across a cactus covered plain.
Very soon through the yuccas, they saw
standing pensively u lone coyote. He
was rejecting upon his sins, perhaps, or
upon his hunger.
"Let me shoot! Let me- shootv' said
Mr. Beal, excitedly, raising his gun, and
Tom Urquhart gracefully yielded to his
guest. Mr.. 3eal shot and missed the
coyote by at least forty feet. The coyote
was a sensible animal, for he knew that
the closer to the guns he got the safer he
was. He did not seek to escape through
tho yuccas-he started directly for the
wagon. Mr.. Urquhart is brave man,
but that coyote looked hungry, and he
turned pale. Though he trembled, yet
he leaped into the breach to save his
friends. Raising his gun, he took deib-
crate aim, fred-and struck yucca one
hundred yards to the right of the line of
advance. The coyote still came on. It
was thrilling moment. The driver
turned his horses and galloped off, the
coyote in pursuit. The animal passed
under the wagon in 2:0s gait and dis.
appeared. The railroad men returned to
Mojave, and they have not yet ceased to
talk about their narrow escape from the
ferocious beast.-Los Angeles Tribune.

How to Overcome The Dangers of
Exposure.

Francis O'Reilly' the well-known
livery man of No. l8 Prince Street, New
York, says of Allcock's Porous Plasters:
For the last forty.two years have
been engaged in the livery and hacking
business. I am greatly aided by my
four boys. We were much exposed to
the weather, and we have found ALL
cocks Plasters of very great service.
We use them as chest protectors, plac-
ing one on the chest and one on the
pit of the stomach. They not only
ward off the cold, but act as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with
rheumatism, kinks in. the back, and
pains in the side; but one or two ALL
cocks Plasters quickly cure us. My
wife and daughter have been using ALL
cocks Plasters for weak back and think
the world of them. have now been
using them for twenty years, and al
ways have box in the house.

The Hills Choice.

Lead City Tribune: What town will
be the choice of the voters of the Hills
for the capital of South Dakota? This
is question of Importance to the peo-
pie of the eastern portion of the terri
tory just now. The general impress
sion seems to be that Pierre will be the
choice of the great majority here; but
there appears to be no good reason for
the supposition. The prospects are at
present that Pierre will be the most
difficult city to reach from the Hills of
any that are in the field. Since the
Northwestern railroad company has Sc
cured the control of the Fremont, Elk
horn & Missouri Valley road and ex-
tended that line into the Hills, the
route from Pierre west by that COM
pany has been practically abandoned.
And it is not at all likely that it will
be revived very soon. Two lines run
ming parallel to the same terminus by
one company, is not within the bounds
of reason. If we are to be confined to
the present outlet. Mitchell or Huron
would be much easier reached. If the
Milwaukee and st. Paul builds from
Chamberlain, which is said to be a
matter of but few months after the
reservation is thorwn open, then some
town on the line of that road would be
the most convenient for the Hills peo-
pie. Should Pierre get the capital,
however, we could reach Washington
quicker and cheaper than we could get
to the seat of government of South Da-

There are about nineteen townships
in Rughes county and twelve towns,
of which Pierre is one. In 1883 the
total assessed valuation of the county
was .$1,419,721. A Pierrean abroad

Some of the implement dealers, in
this city and elsewhere, maintain that
the recent rise in the price of binding
twine is not on account of the forma-
tion of any crust" but that it is ow-
ing to an advance in the cost of the
raw material. Whether this be true or
not, the fact remains that there will be
little demand for twine at present
prices, as the farmers are absolutely
unable to afford so expensive COM

South Dakota Journal, published
weekly at Yankton, by Stephenson

that it will not lack in editorial ability
and newspaper enterprise. Wenoticed
but one article in this issue which we
could not heartily endorse-it seems
inclined to favor Sioux Falls for the
capital of South Dakota-and it will
doubtless fall in line for Mitchell in
due time.

It is seldom that the average patron OF
the various street railway companies, as he
steps on the car and gives his nickle to the
conductor, or drops it in the box, if the car
happens to be of the kind known as the
''bobtail," gives more than cursory glance
at the driver of the vehicle. Not often does
thought pass through bis mind OF the
trials and hardships of the knight of the
ribbons. While the passenger is inside
sheltered from the wintry blasts, or the
suns hot rays, the driver is standing in a

the winter months and theintense heat and
heavy rains in the summer. AS the writer

complication of diseases that are the outcome
of diseased condition of the kidneys is really
