A KANGAROO DRIVE.

KaDgaroos are great scourge TO the
farmers in some parts of Australia. They
destroy the grass and literally starve the
sheep off the plains. This forces the
farmers to devise means for killing them
off, and ''drive" is the one generally
employed. a yard with high fence is
built on the plain, and two fences run
from it for a long distance, coming to-
gether like the letter V, and all the men,
boys and blacks in the neighborhood are
mounted on horseback and scour the
country for miles around. They drive
the kangroos into the jaws of the Y, aud
thence into the yard, where the blacks
enter with clubs and begin their work of
slaughter.
Mr.. Knox describesa little "drive" his
party had on their own account: There
were ten or twelve kangaroos feeding
quietly, and we were within a few hundred
yards of them before they We're aware Of
it. At the first alarm they rose on their
lind legs and took look all around, and
a second latter they were away. How
they did jump! They seemed to go
thirty or forty feet at time, but our
host said it was little more than fifteen
feet. We let loose the dogs. which up
to this time had been kept behind us,
and they went away without any urging.
The dogs are kept for this purpose, just
as fox hounds are kept in England and
France, or deer hounds in Scotland.
The dogs soon overlook and pnlled q 1wu
a young kangroo, and then they were
put On the trail of an "oid man" kan
CARGO, as full grown male is called.
The "old man" led the dogs lively
chase. He made directly for water, sew
eral miles away, which is their custom,
If he cannot reach water he takes his
stand with his back against a tree, and
in that position is a dangerous creature
to approach, We followed the dogs as
closely as we could, but did not come up
to them until the kangaroo was at bay in
pool where the water just left his fore.

the Threshing Machines then

Nichols & Shepard, of Battle

to develop an entirely new and
novel style of Grain Thresher and

1t was revolution in Thresh-

beginning of five machines in
1853 they soon reached a pro-

Their Vibrator drove the end

it as closely as they dared. To-

FORGOTTEN BY DEATH.-There is an
eccentric Boston character, in the person
of an itinerant bender and sharpener of
scissors and knives, who Notwithstanding
the burden of 50 years, still perseveres
jovially at work, alike Indifferent to the
advance of time and the evils commonly
associated with old age. He is forum
ately of a sunny disposition, enjoying O
joke even when it is his own expense,
and is given to make light of his own
years and ordinary vicissitudes. The
other day he was met by an old acquain-
lance who said: "Well Mr.,
thought death would have captured you
before this" SSH" came the venerable
itinerant's answer, "don't speak SO loud,
for 1 think death has forgotten all about
me, and l wouldn't have you remind him
for the world. Boston Budget.

THE late DIR. Austin Flint, professor
in Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
Fellow Of the New York Academy of
Medicine, member of the state medical
societies of New York, Virginia, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, etc, says in
speaking of advanced kidney disease Tor
Bright's): Fatal Termination is many
times due to pericarditis (heart disease,
apoplexy, difficult breathing, dropsy."
The foregoing are but symptoms of dis
eases. That being the case there is
nothing absurd in the claim made by the
proprietors Of Warmers Safe Cure that
they prevent apoplexy aud cure heart dis
ease, etc, with Warmers Safe Cure.
Why2 Because it removes the cause of
disease. and when the cause lie removed
tie symptom called disease is cured.

HALF BABY AND HALF PHrIOsopHE

HALF BABY AND HALF PHILOSOPHER.
-Horace Greeley bore his character in
his face--half baby, aud half phiIosoph-
er. The sweetest child that ever looked
into its mothers eyes bad not q more
| benevolent expression than his counten-
ance habituaily wore. Tue worst por-
trait does not quite obliterate it; the best
| renders it imperfectly. The politician
who said, "a man who would hurt
| Horace Greeley would strike his own
mother. roughly expressed the feeling
which the childlike part of his face often
excited. His voice too. was the pipe of
his child But above the eyes there was
such noble dome of head that Greek
| sculptor would have been glad to take it
for the model of benevolent wisdom.

Thompson considers kidney disease a

disease has no symptoms of its own, hut
has the symptoms Of everF other dis

that by curing symptoms, which are

Once, while travelling in the west,
she was Obliged TO take a seat in one
crowded car, while her friends entered
the next.
Her neighbor in the seat was n disa-
greeable looking fellow, whose feat
ures showed an alarming amount of
low cunning, promising actual kna-

distrust of him she fell asleep and
was awakened by feeling her compan-

pocket.
Her first impulse was to raise an
alarm; her second, to ascertain the
extent of her loss. 1t proved that the
thief had only succeeded in taking her
baggage checks, and as his ticket was
marked Chicago" the lady resolved
to wait until they reached that place,
also her destination.
The train ran into the station at
Chicago, the pickpocket made his way
to the door, and the lady walked be-
side him. A baggage express messen-
ger was passing by the car and the
lady stopped him.
This gentleman has the checks for
my baggage" she said, pointing to the
thief.
The messenger turned TO the man,
who, astucished at the suddenness
with which the tables had been turned,
hastily produced the checks and dis
appeared in the crowd.-An English

The ChIcauo Times Case.

CHICAGO, Jan. l0.-To night Inspector
BQnield and Capt. Setback sent a note
to the Times saying that in the ordinary
process of law it will be months before a
decision can be reached in their case of
feriug to submit the whole matter i'm
mediately to three of the circuit Judges of
the city, they to be selected by a full
bench, and decide the matter, and if the
three or two of them find a single charge
against the officers sustained, Bonfield
and Setback bind themselves to at once
retire from office and dismiss all proceed
ings, civil and criminal, against the Times
and its editors.
The Times tomorrow will decline the
offer, saying that the crime cannot be
compromised, and the offer is simply a
scheme to stem as far as possible the tide
of public opininion against the complain
ants. The Times claims that the plan
seeks to stop its investigation now while
every day new evidences are %accumulat-
ing.
