From the Daily Press.

| Tribune: If there are 10000 boomers
in Oklahoma now there are about So
600 revolvers, and in month there, will
be 1000 boomers and 1000 corpses, but
still 10000 revolyers. This is not SC
hard to figure out as it looks to be.
Journal: That was very sensible
ruling of the attorney generals, that it
didn't make any difference if the lost
Winnipeg 81 Duluth forfeiture bill
should not be found; that certified
copy would do just as well. The
law is just the same, whether written or
printed on ons piece of paper or an
other. 1t was the intent of the bill the
Legislature was voting On, and not sim
ply the original draft Of the bill. A
certified copy can express the same
ideas, and that is all that is necessary.
Globe: Home rule, with it's new de-
partures and announcements, is appar-
emily the only chance to stay the grad
ual depopulation Of Ireland. A recent
statement of the local authorities puts
the figures as low as 4,777 ,545. This is
a reduction of 400 900 in the past eight
years, and falling awav of nearly one
half the population Of 1S41. The young
and lgorcus generally emigrate, and
the elements left are not sufficiently
productive to prevent retrogression.
Massach is twice as populous as
Ireland, and has inferior natural re-
sources. a change Of some kind in
Ireland is an evident necessity.
Pioneer Press: The passage by the
Canadian parliament of the Weldon ex-
tradition bill is al event of the widest
interest to the United States. This is
the measure described some weeks ago,
which authorizes and directs the law
officers of the Dominion to surrender,
on demand, persons charged with en-
bezzlewent or swind]ing. 1t is de-
signed to cover the absence of an ex-
tradition treaty applying to these
crimes, and it's passage on Tuesday re-
fleets great honor upon the people of
Canada, grown weary Of the reputation

GRAINS OF TRUTH.

We attract hearts by the qualities We
display; we retain them by the qualities
we possess.
Four things come not oack-the
spoken word, the sped-arrow, the past
life, and the neglected opportunity.
"a carol on East or morning,
From the throat of brown winged birdl
A song of trust in the Father
Who, needing the sparrow's fall,
Will tenderly care for ALL
Labor is not only a source of all
wealth in people, but OF all power in
an individual. 1t develops a mans ca.
pacity, while it increases his means.
Gain your point by persuasion, rather
than by having recourse to violence
Listen patiently and speak not unless tc
the purpose. Be deliberate in resolving,
but prompt in executing. From youth
to old age acquire knowledge for it will
be more sure than any other possessions
Leisure will always be found by per.
sons who know how to employ thsil
time; those who want time are the PEG.
pie who do nothing.
The slightest things we do sends a
thrill vibrating along the endless chains
of cause ana effect to the utmost limit Of
time, through the whole grand machine
of future existence. Man dies, but moi
one OF his acts ever dies. Each is per.
petuated and prolonged for ever by in.
terminable results, affecting some beings
in every age to come.

SCOTT County Argus: Belle Plaine
comes to the front. so it is rumored,
with an offer of magnificent court
house to be built on centrally located
site consisting of a whole block, which
the enterprising borough is ready to do
nate to Scott county if the county seat
should be moved to that place. Belle
Plaine Is as justly entitled to be the
county seat as any place in the county

adverse fortune TO lose the coveted prize

lature and every private citizen to
whom it was presented, has been for
warded from Missouri to Governor
Merriam, of this State, asking for the
pardon of the Younger brothers. While
such petition does not deserve the least
recognition, it is yet an injustice to
them that wholesale pardons, during the
past four or FIVE years, has been grant
ed to criminals as deep if not deeper in
crime than the Younger brothers. We
have too many pardons, butts long as
that power is granted it should be used

Guthrie. Oklahoma territory, is now
a thriving CITY of 10000 souls. Last
Monday morning it had little more than
a corporal's guard of people. Those
who were there then, however, were
United States marshals and others in
the employ of the government for the
protection of property and of the people
who were to come, without any right
allowed them to make claim upon any
of the property until high noon, at
least, when that right had been reserv-
ed for all the people. They needed not
the law, but grasped the choicest and
best before the bewitching hour had
come. This is a bit of Republican civil
service reform.

CURE FOR CROSSNESS.

The old gentleman went home, and nc

house afterward. Every body should have

THE ARMY OF TYPES.


Oh, a glorious fame is the fame of the fray
For the banner OF Stars and Stripes
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
Who march in the Army of Types.
How they come at the wave the captains hand
How they gather with rattle and click,
And leap to the ranks at silent command,
On the forming ground of the stick.
And whether it storm or whether it shine,
And ever by day and by night
With click, click, click. they fall into line
And march away to the fight.
Each soldier moves on in his squad OF woro
To the drum of the age in the van,
And armed with a two edged, invisible sword
That cuts through the spirit of man.
Where Ignorance sits on her shadowy throne
Built round by the walls OF old night.
They crumble and crush into powder the
stone
And let in the legions of light.
Where Tyranny reigns with his foot and his
On the neck of the poor and the just,
They cease not to strike till the letters are
broke,
And the tyrant is laid in the dust.
o. Army of Freedom and Army of Light
o, host of our God battle on
TIL the people shall rule in their God-r1seI
right.
And the long night of error Is gone.
oh. glorious fame is the fame OF the fray
For the banner of Stars and OF Stripes,
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
Who march in the Army Of Types

Rocks of the Earth.
HOW THEY ARE FoRMED-LIME ALL MADE
BY ANIMALS.

HOW THEY AXE FORMED-LlmE ALL hAD1N
BY ANIMALS.
Granite is the lowest rock in the earth's
crust. It is the bed rock of the world. 1t
shows no evidence of animal or vegetable
life. It is from two to ten times as thick
as the united thickness of all the other
rocks. It is the parent rock from which all
the other rocks have have been either di-
rectly or indireatly derived.
Tt is true that it does not contain lime,
while limestones do contain that substance,
bnt it furnishes the foundation for animal
orowtb and animal growth brings lime in
to existence. 1t is claimed scientists that
all the lime in the world has, at some time,
been a portion of some animal. The same
atom of lime has some time, no doubt, been
portion of many different animals, and
possibly of human beings also.
The forces of nature are gradually level
ing down the mountains and hills and are
as gradually and surely filling up the valleys
and slow places" of the earth.
Chemical changes are constantly going
on in the rocks. The sudden contact OF
substances in the interior of the earth that
have great affinity of repulsion for one an
other is sometimes sufficient to cause volca
noes and earthquakes. As rule, however,
chemical changes are wrought silently
and almost imperceptibly.
The oxygen from water is daily and
hoully combining with iron and other sub
stances in the earth, and forming oxides
that appear as ochres, mineral paints,
colored elays, etc.
Attention is called to the agency of ami
mails. Passively, as observed above, all
animals increase the amount Of lime and
| limestone material by digestion, assimila-
ton, excretion and death.
Some animals bring about rock changes
| az active agents. All burrowing animals
bring materials from beneath the surface
that change On exposure to tho atmosphere
and sunlight.
| Darwin decided, after years of observa-
ton, that earthworms constitute one OF
the principal agencies in the disintegration
of hard rock and the formation of soils and
lighter clays. If anglo or ''fsh'' worms
were all destroyed it would indeed be a
great calamity. 1t is probable that they
do more to preserve the fertility of the soil
than does any other agency.
Coral reefs afford beautiful sample OF
the rock changes brought about by animals.
An example of the combined agency OF
found in floating ISLANDS. First, immense
drifts of seaweeds are formed by the mo-
tion of the water. On these drifts great
colonies of sea birds make their nests from
year 80 gear. The egg-shells and other ex'
orements of tie birds, together with Their
remains when they die. in time form soi
in which plants can grow.
Some of these islands become heavy
enough to settle to the bottom in shallow
water, and form permanent land adapted

Shake Him, Admiral.

The bitter warfare of words just opened
between Ben Butter and Admiral Porter
promises, says the Norfolk Landmark, to
give information about those two veterans
not printed in the official records. Admiral
Porter has much the best of the case as it
stands and we doubt not will have at the
end of the controversy. He says that But
Ter is an old buzzard who is never satisfied
unless he is trying to vomit oyer some bet
ter man. He intimates that he was cow
ard, that he had nothing to do with taking
New Orleans, and says that his only
achievement there was to take silver spoons
and other table furniture aud ship them to
Lowell. Well, this isn't our fight. There
is nothing sectional about it. Still, we have
heard it said that whom Butler got to New
Orleans the yellow fever left there; whether
abashed and overcome IL the presence of a
worse affection, or in the consideration for
a suffering community which would have
beeu annihilated uader the influence of
both, does not appear. Butler says it was
U6Cdu5o QS Clednbu bu5 CitJ up. oAtoA
clearly testiffes that where Butler is clean
liress cannot be. The Admiral further
says:
"When that bird of ill-omen takes offence
at anyone be bottles up his venom until 10
one of his maudlin intervals he expels it.
On m7 first acquaintance with Butler at
New Orleans he sent me an impertineDt
message, upon which l wrote to him that
if he did not send me an apology | would
take personal satisfaction. He had to make
the apology after doing all he conld to
dodge the issue. Since then we have not
been at all like Damon aud Pythias. About
oncs in five years, after one of his drunken
bouts, Butler makes spasmodic rush at
me, like mad bull, but l have always
caught him on my horns aud thrown him
fiat on his back. l wonder the public
should notice what the old imbecile says,
and except for the fun OF laying him out
again would not notice him now. He is
the only man l have heard of who could
outlive the contempt of the whole natio II
who could always run away in time of war
and yet flourish. / came very near thrash
ing him when he was military Governor Of
New Orleans, and 1 am sorry didn't do

The more complicated your disease has be-

which they cannot cure. The Remedy is

mite took place in the Court House yard
between Col. Washington and Mr.. Payne,
who was a small man, but stouthearted
and brave. Washington was very aggres-
sive and insulted Payne grossly, when the
latter knocked him down with hickory
stick. He was stunned, and recovered
consciousness just in time to prevent serl
GUS bloodshed. Several of his subordinate
officers being present, they were about 10

LIGHTNINe's ERRATIC CoURsE.-During

inst, lightning played queer pranks in the
home of Gilbert D. Chadwick, lat Chadwick,
N. J., where the little daughter of Captain
Benjamin Truck, of the Life Saving Ser
vice, was instantly killed.
The little girl was sitting on the arm ola
rockingchair in which Mrs. Chadwick sat
holding her babe. The girls arm was
about Mrs. Chadwick's neck. She was
struck dead, but neither the mother nor her
babe was injured, or even affected by the
shock.
The lightning entered the house through
the bathroom, located over the sitting room
where the family were sitting, passed down
ito the other apartment, plunged across
the room and struck tho child in the pack.
Mr. Chadwick, who was in the room, was
stunned by the shock.
