recent transactlons One OF these, witch
may serve en- example of all, Is thus re-
ported: A boy while attending circus was
struck by a stone flung from the ring By a
horses hoof and got a black eye but no seri-
GUS hurt. With the aid of lawyer the
property OF the company was attached and a
warrant got out for the arrest of the mana
ger unless he paid a good sum for damages.
Being unable to stop to contest the suit, a
fact that was probably considered when the
demand was made, the circus proprietor
compromised by paying about $500, which the
boy and his lawyer divided Whether their
feelings were similar to those of the .harpers
lien dividing the spells flched from some
innocent stranger is not recorded 1t is true
that many times the fakirs who follow the
circuses get even with the public, but it sell
dom or never happens that they get back the
money extorted from the show, and often
these outside sharpers have no connection
with the regular company, which IS in no
wise responsible for them. And besides, two
wrongs do not make right.-Lewiston Jour-

Warren Schell, Of Somerville, noticed that
the grass in ono of his fields looked as if some
animal had been eating it. About o'clock
in the evening he returned, armed with his
Winchester repeater, and found whole fam
lily of bears in the field. The two old ones
were grazing, the cubs. about two months
old, were playing around their mother Mr.
Scheu whistled, which caused her to raise her
head, and he planted a bullet in her breast.
Mr.. Schen then turned his attention to the
cubs, one - which rose on his launches and
showed fight, while the other climbed to the
top of t>e fence and watched their dying
mother. A bullet apiece killed them, and as
the last one fell the he bear, which had made
no attempt to defend his family, turned tail
and ran for his life-Fenelon Falls Gazette

Beat at All Points,

A naughty leader Of city choir, on his
way to church, met an IIrevereut Ass, who was
practicing the fish scales as he made his way
toward the thistly lanes of the country side.
Peace" exclaimed the Musician; ''save
your strength for your weekly burdens, and
do not attempt to invade the sacred province
Of music" Hence with your puny pitch
pipe" said the Ass, ''lest I climb into the
gallery and kick your whole choir over the
rail" Heaven assoilzie thee an ever thou
tryest it." returned the leader; thou talk
about kicking. Come in some Sunday and
see our soprano when give the alto a solo,
and thou wilt trade thy legs for pair of
crutches, for very shame" So saying, he
snote the Ass in both ears with high c, and
left him for dead.

by the party. The Democracy are
united on tariff reform, and under its
flag they will be led to victory in the
next contest. The campaign of educa.
tion on the subject is constant tly going
on. Reduction of wages, Iacrease of
business failures, multiplication of
trusts and restriction of industries and
production are the results of the re-
turn of the Republicans to power. The
boasted protection to American labor
has been shown in its true colors, and
the American working-man has had
ample opportunity to study the di'fer"
cnce between the principles of the two
parties on this vital question. Colonel
Brice is just the man to secure har-
monious action and preserve intact the
prestige of the party. His zeal, single
minded devotion to Democratic inter-
ests, rare judgment and unconquerable
spirit, gave strong impetus to the
conduct of last years campaign. The
same qualities, brought to bear under
brighter auspices on the next contest
with tidal wave of public sentiment
behind the party, must lead to victory
and the emancipation of American in

HON. CALVIN S. BRiCE.
The Right Man in the Right Place
Democratic Devotion to Principle

The Right Man in the Right Place
Democratic Devotion to Principle
The action of the Democratic
National Committee in electing Colonel
Calvin S. Brice us chairman and sue
cessor of the lamented William III.
Barnum is a cheering evidence
of the unshaken loyalty of the
leaders of the party TO principle, as
well as n deserved tribute to faith
ful worker and capable organizer.
The position OF Colonel Brice on the
question which rallied the Democracy
to their colors in the last campaign is
unequivoca. He is known as an
ardent advocate of tariff reform. and
his election as chairman of the
National Committee is an unmistak-
able evidence that the party has not
the slightest intention of taking one
step backward from the impregnable
position assumed during the Presiden-
tial campaign. The advice and pre-
dctions of traitors have come to
naught. The party is immovable on
the subject of lower taxes and no dis
examinations, and it will be found as
loyal to popular principles in the next
campaign as it was in the last. Any
recession from the bold, uncompro-
missing, popular position on the most
important of National questions, as
sumed by the party last year, would
be political suicide. The principle OF
tariff reform demonstrated its
strength, even when imperfectly
understood in many quarters. by a
popular majority of 100000 through
out the country Only through the
employment of the vilest agencies We're
its enemies enabled To secure major
! ity in the electoral college. 1t is bound
to triumph in the next struggle, for the
people are being daily more and more
instructed in its true meaning and
beneiicent purposes.
Colonel Brice's election as chairman
of the National Committee will please
ali Union veterans, for his war record
is one to be proud of; all true Demo
Gratis, for his unshaken loyalty to Dem
ocratic principles; all business men,
for his rare business qualities. and al

DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
Insurmountable Difficulties In the Way of
Trncing Their Origin.

In studying geological distribution
the range of the domestic animals is
not to be taken into consideration, for
man has been so long engaged in scat
tering them over the world that it is
now impossible to trace their original
homes Indeed, any attempt to as
sign them to wild progenitors must to
large extent be simply guesswork.
The tame cattle of our farm-yards ara
fields may perhaps be sprung from the
urus and other wild oxen which at one
time roamed through the vast forests
of Europe; and the sty-living pig from
fierce wilds which still hold their own
in many parts of the Continent and in
the thickets of Northern Africa. In
like manner the cat is supposed to be
descended from Persian ancestor; an1
the various dogs of the different bar
barous tribes can with some confidence
be considered merely the tanned wolves.
foxes, or jackals of the regions which
they inhabit. The ass is evidently Il
civilized form OF the wild ass OF Abys-
sinia, AsinuS t4ntOpuS, but it is doubt
full whether we have yet made any pro-
gress in the search after the progeni-
tors OF the horse and the camel.
No doubt so-called wild horse has
been found in Central Asia, and wild
camels are not unfrequent in the same
region. But whether these animals IRE
not tame species which have escaped
from domestication long years ago and
re-established their freedom is ques-
tion to which favorable answer might
quite as readily be given as to the cor
trary thesis The turkey, it is certain.
came from America; the peacock is an
Indian bird; and the guinea-fowl was
originally from Africa. The domestic
goose is regarded as descended from
the greylag, or common wild goose.
though all the species are capable OF
domestication; while the duck in our
ponds is in its wild state known as the
mallard. But the domestic fowl has
been SO long servant OF man that ii is
now mere speculation to attempt to as
sign to its progenitor any exact home
the Bankiva fowl OF Java and other
islands of Malaysia having no better
claim to this distinction than the jungle
fowl of India, which for time was
proclaimed as the barbarous ancestors
of the farmyard hen. Much the same
remarks may be made regarding the
honey bee, the silk and the Mexican
cochineal. lor though they have al
been traced to wild forms, they have
been kept so long under the control o
man that their exact origin is eithe'
lost or at best doubtful. Our Eartf

The middle of the sixteenth century

been great, fell off to such amaMtent
that even the new tin industry failed
to make up the loss,
