The bushrangers of Australia are now
extinct They were highwaymen whom
the love of adventure, quite as much as
the desire for gold, allured to the life of
outlaws. A writer in The Fortnightly
Review describes some of them as gifted
with courage and invention worthy of a
better calling.
A small band of ~bushrangers in Vic
toria manufactured for themseIve out
of scythes and plows and old iron com
plete suits of armor. Each suit was SO
heavy that Goliath himself might have
tainted under its weight, but on the Her
culean frame of the bushranger it seemed
light. and it served its purpose. Several
of these suits are in existence, bearing
marks Of Intellectual pistol shots.
Two bu%s'rangers once laid q whole
town under contribution. They forced
shops and banks to pay literally for the
privilege of resuming business. Some
of them were as superstitious as Italian
brigands, who kneel before n wayside
cross and ask for much booty and little
trouble.
Once a b~ushranger gave his victim the
usual alternative of his money or his
life. When the victim declined to "hand
over" the robber knelt down and prayed
that it might be put into the travellers
heart to give up all that he had, and so
spare the bushranger the necessity of
shooting him.

New ORLEANS, July 3.-As the day
of battle draws near. excitement becomes
more intense and thousands of people ex-
press themselves as being anxious to go to
the scene of the mill, no matter where it
takes place. Betting on the result was
not very lively to day, there being plenty
Sullivan money. but little kilrain money
in sight. Kilrain men are holding back
for the bookmakers and the knowing ones
who are expected in. One bet of $500 to
$3.50 on Sullivan was placed to day and
bets OF 100 to so and 100 to 60 on Sulli-
van were offered but found no takers.
Sullivan men are not offering odds because
they under-rate Kilrain, but because the

The HALEY Fire.

SALT LAKE, July 4-The fire which
DESTROYED HALEY, Idaho, started in the
Nevada bakery, corner Main and Car
Donate streets and spread with alarming
rapidity. Everybody thought the Mer-
chants hotel, next to the corner would
stop the flames, but owing to the high
wind the fire swept through the row of
frame houses to the hotel, a brick build
ing. The flames swept along main street,
consuming buildings supposed to be fire
proof as if they were finder. The heat
was so oppressive that the iremen had to
desert their hose and hose cart and con-
s%equently the town was left to the mercy
OF the fire.
Word was sent to Belleville, five miles
south, and their fire company hurried to
the scene with all available apparatus,
but too late to be OF any service. The
burned district includes the entire bust
ness portion and takes IN but a few resi-
dences, 80 there will be no d~estitution.

LOWER BRULE AGENCY, July Sin
the morning council Iron Nation said he
was head chief and leader of the tribe and
that he should sign the bill and his people
would follow. but that he would like the
commissioners to read the bill again, so that
all could understand it. This was done.
Gen. Crook said, now thev were all will
ing to sign. they had better sign this at
t%ernoon; that tomorrow was the 4th OF
July and the fact that the Indians at
Lower Brule have signed will be tele-
graphed all over the country; all their
friends would hear the news and be
pleased. After a few questions had been
asked regarding the bill, Iron Nation then
arose and addressed Gen. Crook. He said:
Three Stars | am going to sign be-
cause you call me. This is a good bill,
but before / do so. | want you to promise
to be a good friend to the Indians here;
we want to remain on the White river
and wish you TO tell the great father So"
Lett aanded-Thunder endeavored to
check the movement in favor of the bill,
but was unsuccessful. Iron Nation
signed first and was followed in order of
rank by the other chiefs. The conversion
of Iron Nation, Little Pleasant, Dead
Band and Surrounded, the leaders OF last
years opposition, was a triumph hardly
equalled in the record OF Indian negotla-
tons and for which the commissioners
deserve great credit.
Yesterday afternoon Gen. Crook, at the
request of the chiefs, had a private talk
with them and at this conference the pro-
gramme which has been successfully car
ried out to-day was agreed upon. The
Indians are signing as rapidly as possible.

The Irish World on the Cronin Case.


NEW YORK, July 3.-The next issue
of the Irish World will contain an editor
ial article five columns long. signed by
Patrick Ford. Mr.. Ford says he is not a
member OF the Clan ma Gael and adds:
Secret political societies are so many
rings operating in the dark to bring I'M
der control or influence by direct methods
those who work in the open" In anoth-
er section of the editorial Ford declares a
predisposition against Alexander Sullivan
but adds that, at this hour, in lis opinion,
Alexander Sullivan is the victim of grave
injustice, that he is entirely innocent of
the murder of DIR. Cronin; that he is ut
terly incapable of conceivinc, or suggest
ing. or wishing so dastardly a crime.
Il firmly believe, and so believing, re-
gard him as the victim of overwhelming
wrong. | should despise myself we're l
to sin against my soul by preserving a
cowardly silence at a despicably convenient
time" Ford reviews the case at length
and adds. IF Alexander Sullivan has
nothing to gain by Cronin's murder, there
were numbers of people who had III
thing to gain by it if they could only fasten
a suspicion of the murder on Sullivan"
He closed by adiuring all Irishmen to
cling TO Gladstone for Ireland's salvation.

All We're Fond of Horses.

ike Stephenson, the congressman
from the Marinette, Wis. district, is a
great lover of fine horses. although
there is nothing in his looks to indi-
cate it. He is a lumberman, and, when
not in Washington, spends a large
portion of his time in personally at
tending to his big saw-mills on the
Menominee river. He finds time, how
ever, to cultivate his taste for blooded
horses, and in addition to breeding
them he sends saveral out on the trot-
ting circuit each year. He never brings
a horse to Washington, but goes from
the capital to his hotel on q bobtail
car. He looks as if he did not have
sufficient money to buy a good horse,
but the fact is that his wealth reaches
the neighborhood of a million.
A day or two ago, says the New
York Tribune, Mr.. Stephenson strolled
over to the senate and got to talking
horse with Senator Stockbridge, Of
Michigan, who has fine stock-farm.
The senator told the representative
about some fine young colts he had,
and Stephenson, getting interested, at
once purchased two of them. One
was 4-rear-old, for which he paid
$4,000, and the other. 3-year-old, was
given to him for $1,000. He told Mr..
Stock bridge he would pay him 81 600
down and send to Wisconsin for the
balance. The same day he sent his
check for $1,000 over to the senate.
and as Senator Stock bridge was turn
ing it in his hand. Senator Stanford,
who sits next him, came along.
.'Well. SLandford,' said the Michi-
gan stock-raiser, al have made bet
ter horse bargain to-day than you have.
have just sold two Young colts for
$500. 1 got 800 for one that is
only years DID," and he rolled the
$1,000 check about in his fingers
triumphantly.
''Oh, l can beat you," said the Cali
fornia stock-raiser. al have just sold
S-year-oid for more than that" and he
shook check for $4,000 under the
nose of the Michigan man. Mr.. Stock
bridge admitted that he was beaten.
but says he will never let Mr.. Stanford
forget that he purchased Bell Boy from
him for $4,000, kept him in Michigan
a few months and sold him for $35, 600.

The Hearts of Men and Women.

Some interesting statistics about the
human heart are published by jour-
nal which combines science and senii-
ment beyond most of our contempo-
raries. Werefer to the american Queen,
and the topics on which it dilates is
the human heart. The surprising fact
in its report is that the heart of a man
is larger than that of a woman and
weighs more, especially as life ad-
vances. The heart of a girl and the heart
of boy are about the same size, but
the manly heart gains, so that when it
reaches perfection, say at the age of
so, the area of its surface is fully
two square inches more than the area
of a woman's heart. We confess that
we are surprised and rather shocked
at this information; and if it proceed
ed from any other source we should
certainly doubt its accuracy. Yet,
after all, it is not size but quality that
ought to be regarded in hearts. So it
is also with brains. A small brain.
like that of Abraham Lincoln. for in
stance, may be far more efficaeious,
provided it be of the requisite fineness
and compactness, than a big brain,
like that of Yankee Sullivan. The
heart of a woman is undoubtedly no.
bier than that of man in quality. Its
pulsations may not be so noisy, but
they are more intense and subtle; and
thus il is that woman not only sur
passes man in her power of loving,
but in the elevation, the ideality, and
the integrity of the moral nature. In
short, women are better than men, and
the statement OF the american Queen
cannot be admitted as proving any
Thing to the contrary. - NeW York

Sex Makes All the Difference.

The queerest case of exaggeration on
record comes from Warren county, in
New York. An old man. a veteran of
the late war,was notorious stOry-teller
of the huge sort. He became SO fond of
notoriety of a cheap sort that when his
yarns gave out he begun to sew but
tons an his clothes. without the least
consideration of use or utility. His
coat and breeches were dotted all over
with buttons black, and buttons white,
and buttons yellow. The sight of the
old fellow was considered very funny,
and an anomal y. 1t certainly was for
the male sex; but for the ladies bless
yonr soul! it is quite the tnihg. They
sew buttons all over their clothes, and
scatter them in handfuls. and it is not
considered eccentric in the least.
