appeafed at Saratoga as delegates from

They thereupon sent this telegram to
the President at Washington: We are

1t is not probable that Warner Miller
is proud of ais company. as 1t has been
charged that his defeat for Governor

of votes. by which Harrison aud Hill
gained at the expense OF Miller, and
that O'Brien and his colleagues engi-

PIGEON Flyin..

Pigeon flving is one of the delights of
the Black country, and a Birmingham,
Eng, paper gives q curious account of
it. 1t is a passion with the working
men. and it takes some of them conf
pletely away from their work. With
the majority, however, it is no more than
the ordered pastimes of the first day of
the week. 1t has developed quite a new
branch of railway traffic in the district.
1t is the practice of flyers TO send their
birds in baskets, addressed to the station
master at a particular station, with the
request that he will release them, mark
Oh the label the time they were released
and return the basket. What Is most
singular is that this is regularly done.
An important traffic has grown up in
this way, with a tariff for pigeon baskets
and returned empties. Railway com
panies at first set their faces against 1T,
but finally took a more enlightened view
of their own interests and of the wants
of their customers. They were probably
influenced by the consideration that the
officials rather liked the work in cloudy
weather porters have been known to
iced birds three days before setting them
free. The only Inconvenience is that,
where a bird fails to reach his destina-
ton, the obliginG official is sometimes
accused of being got at" by a rival
hier. This suggests a certain democrat
izing tendency in the pastime, and the
suggestion may be confirmed by the re-
vival of a well worn anecdote. An aged
penitent, who had loved pigeon flying
not wisely but too well, was assured by
his ghostly comforter on his death bed,
that they would both meet in a better
place with wings TO their backs. The
dying man suddenly forgot his anxieties
in the ribald offer to ''hy" the parson
for a sovereign when they arrived.

1t is almost incredible that Simon Col
lins, Of Marietta, who has been blind for
t~wenty-seyen years, is an expert carpet
weaver, makes and prints paper flower
sacks in colors, doing the printing on a
Washington hand press and with a per-
feet register, but The Marietta Times
vouches for that. have known him for
seven or eight years and have seen him
frequently on the streets of his town,
cane in hand, walking rapidly, making
all the ins and outs, going down into a
basement or up stairs to q business Office,
never making a mistake and being
hurt.
A year ago he made a canoe from his
own design, and the same boat won a
race in the regatta upon the Susquehanna
at Columbia. He is the patentee of q
brush handle, makes fishing nets and
zane seated chairs.
His latest triumph is the mastery of
the typewriter. He bought one some
months ago and is now able to operate it
quickly and correctly. He is said to be
an expert euchre player, but l cannot
vouch for that, though it is scarcely more
notable than many things already men
toned which l have known him to do

Crushing Stone.

A peculiar industry has sprung us
near Albany since 1888: that of supply
ing crushed stone for asphalt and mac
adamized roads. The quarry from which
the stone is taken is operated night and
day. One thousand tons of rock q day
are crushed and $50 cars are used in
transporting the fragments of rock to all
parts of the country.-New York Tribune
Brush with "A Wildcat.
Elezer Goodrich had an exciting expe-
rience in the Spring Brook woods on a
dark night last month. He was riding
a horse along an old log road, on his way
home from Moosic, when a wildcat
sprang from the bushes with a growl,
gave two or three leaps and seized the
horse by the neck. Goodrich kicked at
It rs hard as he could until it let go and
dropped in front of the running horse.
He didn't hear anything more from the
wildcat, and, after he had quoted the
horse and hitched him to a tree, he went
back, struck some matches and searched
for the savage beast. The wildcat lay in
the road with a crushed skull, the horse
having apparently trod upon it as it fell.

The Sea Horse.

The sea horse is SO called because he
hasn't the least resemblance to a horse.
and because he is never seen in the sea.
The name was given him by some smart
Alec who felt awfully funny that day
Some years later another smart Alec
changed the name to sea cow, but that
doesn't hit any closer. They are found
in rivers and lagoons instead of the sea,
and they resemble COWS as much as a
stuffed woodchuck does a live lion.
The principal occupation of asea horse
COW, as we are obliged to call him. is
~promenading around on the muddy bot
toms of muddy rivers. satisfying his
hunger on the best the land affords, and
making the neighborhood highly I'M
comfortable for African gentlemen out
fishing in their canoes. He has no am
bition beyond that, and if undisturbed
would let the world wag along and mind
his own business. N~aturalists claim that
he is very doeile and affectionate when
in captivity, and the day may come when
he will replace the poodle dog as a pet.
His span of life is supposed to be sixty
years, but that doubtless depends a great
deal on the care he takes of himself. If
the newly discovered elixir of life works
as is hoped for, the sea horse-cow's days
may be extended over Il hundred years

Disease in Books.

II sometimes am almost led to believe
that the intellectual benefit derived from
a public library is outweighed by the
physical detriment, were the words that
fell from the lips of a distinguished
physician a day or two ago, as he rather
gingerly handled a greasy looking vol
ume that ornamented the mantel piece
of a patients sick chamber.
Not only is a bookworms absorption
often injurious to his health, but it is a
we'll authenticated fact that disease may
be written between the lineso of books, be
they fiction, poetry or theology. The
average patron of a circulating library is
a person not overscrupulous as to the
care of n borrowed volume. He will al
low filth to accumulate rapidly within
and without, and. if 4 member of the
household be stricken with measles, or
scarlatina, or even diphtheria or small
pox, like as notthe book will find its way
into the presence or the lapof the invalid,
to be transferred thence a little later to
the shelresof the library, and then to the
hands of some unsuspeeting reader.
1.-The leaves of the book easily absorb
the germs of disease that float in the at
mosphere. Microscopes have broughtto
light the fact that bacilli sometimes over-
sprinkle a page with the frequency of
periods and ommas The handling of
such a book might be fatal to the reader.
1t is not actually known that many i'll
nesses result from such causes, but there
is always the danger."-Indianapolis

Saving a Life.

An old soldier, q lieutenant during the
civil war, was walking down the street
of a town when he was aecosted by a
fellow, half soldier, half beggar, who
made him a most reverential salute.
God bless your honor" said the man,
whose speech betrayed him for an Irish
man, God bless you and long life to
YOU
"How do you know me-" said the lieu
tenant.
us it how do l know you, your hon
orr responded Pat. GOOD right, sure, l
haveto know the man that saved my life
in battle"
The lieutenant, gratified at this trib-
ute to his valor, slipped a fifty cent piece
into the fellows hand, and asked him
when.
"God bless your honor and long life to
you." said the now doubly grateful vet
eran. Sure, an it was at Antietam,
when, seeing your honor run away as
fast as your legs would carry you from
the rebels, l followed your lead and ran
after you out of the way, whereby, I'M
der God, | savedmy life. Oh, good luck
to your honorl l will never forget you"

To Restore Worn Clothing.

The mystery to many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
look almost as good as new is explained
in The American Analyst as follows:
Take, for instance, a shiny old coat, vest
or pair of pants, of broadcloth, cassi-
mere or diagonal. The seeurer makes q
strong, warm soapsuds and plunges the
garment into it, souses it up and down,
rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts
it through a second suds, then rinses it
through several waters, and hangs it to
dry on the line. When nearly dry, he
takes it in, rolls it up for an hour o. two,
and then presses it. An old cotton cloth
is laid on the outside of the coat, and
the iron passed over that until the
wrinkles are out; but the iron is removed
before the steam ceases to rise from the
goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are re-
moved by laying a wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. If any
shiny places are seen they are treated as
the wrinkles archie iron is lifted,
while the full cloud of steam rises and
brings the nap up VIII IL, 1ioti Siioulu
always have a suds made specially for
it, as if that which has been used for
white cotton or wooden clothes lint will
be left in the water and cling to the
cloth. In this manner we have known
the same coat and pantaloons to be re-
newed time and again, and have all the
look and feel of new garments. Good
broadcloth and its fellow cloths will bear
many washings, and look better every
time because Of them.

A Mirage Oh the Plains.

We witnessed the most perfect mirage
we ever saw on the Laramie plains
Tuesday evening. 1t was about an hour
before sunset, and looking out of a car
window we saw about a mile away a
beautiful lake. 1t was in a slight de-
preston among the hills. and seemed to
be about two miles long by a mile wide.
Never having noticed a lake at that
place on the road, we were considerably
astonished, and asked the conductor for
an explanation. He was equally aston
ished, as We're passengers familiar with
the road As the train advanced the
lake appeared to enlarge and rise, but in
spite of this it was difficult to believe
the appearance vas simply that optical
delusion known as mirage, and that
what appeared to be- lake was a grassy,
level plain. The apparent lake was as
smooth and bright as a mirror, except at
II edge, where it appeared TO be rufiled
by the wind. The strange sight was
viewed with wonder by hundreds Of pas
sengers until it was out of sight.-Rock
