How a Sea Gull was Drowned.

Some fishermen while engaged near
Belfast, Ireland, picked up large sea
gull which was seen approaching the
boat, with wings outsprcad, floating on
the water, but quite dead. The men
were puzzled 10 account for the progress
1t made through the water, MS it went
faster than the boat; but as il came near
at was found that wound securely round
the body and under the wings was II
string which they discovered was attached
to large paper kite then flying above
them at considerable height. The kite
had furnished the propcling power. The
bird had evidently, while flying at Bel
last, got cntanglcd in the string OF boys
kite, had been unable to cxtricatc itself.
and, taking 10 the sea, had been drowned
IN It's efforts to obtain freedom. -Me,o

EMS TIE LAW.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 29.--General
Malone is both troubled and angry
about the large white gains on the
registration books and ut tie loss of
thousands of negroes He intends
to institute legal proceedings to have
the DISTINGUISHED negroes restored
to the lists again. Judge Wuddll
who will have charge of the proceed
Jugs i'll this section, says he will
probably come before one Of the
courts on an appeal from registrar
and make test case in llcnrico
county to get it before The Court Of
Appeals; but while Malone and Wad.
dill talk hopefully about what they
claim they can do, it is worry evident
that They arc ratified for in. the five
or six days before the election it will
be impossible to get IL hearing in the
Court of Appeals. One Of Mahono's
local managers admitted tonight that
the Democrats would carry tho State
anywhere from 10000 to 10000.
