No Doubt as to the Result.
LUaet IJpiou Naw Fra

The Democratic papers Of the state
,ave been very active for the past six
months doing everything in their power
to breed dissension within the ranks Of
the Republicans. They thought that
they had succeeded but the result at
Columbus must have confounded them.
The wheel horses were all there. and
are all enthusiastic for the ticket. All
differences of opinion, if any existed
have been settled, and the acknowledged
leaders of the Republican party go into
this battle unit. That being true.
there can be no doubt Of the ultimate
result.

So far ahead so very far away.

And when old age approaches, year by year,

We do not feel that It must needs be near;
The close of life still seelneth far ahead.

under Basils mustache, she caught sight of a

smile
Furious at the sight she tried to speak, to

Basil waited quietly; be could afford to

She looked up at him, mastered by his

he fell to pleading earnestly, appealing to the

stood two beds built upon crotched sticks,
while upon the wall hung tho skins of coons,
'possums, muskrats and other fur bearing
animals In the other end was q fireplace in
a chimney built Of sticks and lined with
mud. A thin, worn woman in a faded cot

q pipe, while by her side stood three tow

White Ant Mason Work.

The white ants seem to have an in.
supcrable objection to be seen, and in
variably work under cover. To &C
complish this end they build covered
roads and galleries extending from
their excavations underneath the

they have chosen for their dwelling.
First, very small opening is made in
the earth close beside the tree, and the
tiny head of tcrmitc energies with q
pellet Of earth in its mouth. This is
placed against the trunk. the head dis
appears, returns ngain and another
pellet is laid beside the first, made firm
in its place, and tho head is gone.
Again this is repeated, and other ants
soon join in tho labor. Tho pellets are
so arranged as to form half circle
against the side of the tree, ants always
working from within. As each grain
of earth is brought up and added to the
wall the termitc elects upon it from its
mouth sticky saliva, meanwhile turn
ing it over and over till the whole is
covered. This acts as
mortar; without it the wall would fall
into utter ruin almost rs soon as It was
begun; with it. it becomes practically
The wetted grain is put
upon the wall, worked To and fro until
we'll fitted to its place, and then the ant
turns away to fetch another. These

MASTODONS IN ALASKA
A Queer Report Circulated by . Hand o
Northern Indians.

A Queer Report Circulated by . Hand Of
Northern Indians.
That the mastOdOn was once common
in Alaska il certain from the great
number of their skeletons. found in the
marshes and clay banks of the Yukon
and northern plains; but that this huge
pachydcrm still exists there in the liv.
ing state has never been deemed likely,
or even cOnjecturcd until recently.
This conjecture rests on reports by way
Of the Stick Indians on the White river,
tributary of the Yukon.
The account is that while hunting on
a wooded bottom, a few miles from this
river. two Indians came upon n trail,
consisting OF enormous tracks fully two
feet across. and deeply imprinted in the
moss and earth, strcwn along near
which were broken branches Of the
trees. Following cautiously on these
signs, they ut length heard the noise OF
tho creature feeding, and presently
spicd prodigious animal, as large,
they assert, as white mans house
meaning tho traders One-stOry store
Its teeth, they declared. were as long a.
a mans leg. and curved outward. while
its ears were likened to a seal-skin in
size. In color it was represented to be
dark brown. It leaned against a dead
tree-stub. and scratched its side, and its
body seemed to be covered with patches
OF coarse brown hair. Terrified AT the
sight Of such enormous game, the two
hunters promptly rctreated.
Other native hunters corroborate thi.
story with similar accounts Of their ex.
periences; accounts which they are re-
luctant to relate for fear Of ridicule. OF
from some superstitious feelings regard
ing the matter. The uncharitable At
tribute the appar.tion of the strange
beast to the misunderstanding effects Of
hooehinoo-a particularly villainous
kind of whisky dist led from molasses
Others rejoin that these Indians neve,
take hoochinoo while on a hunt or. In
other words, that they never 60 on q
hunt as long rs there is any hoochinoo
left in the ydncherie.
This may be subjecting the narrative
of the natives to a somewhat harsh crit
icism. the more so when It'll considered
that one OF the two who saw the sup
posed mastodon is an Indian Of known
probity and good characterize With
three others OF his tribe having brought
down to the trading post the body Of
The late murdered bishop.
Let US hope that these Indians have
really seen mastodon. and that it may.
in due course, figure in the place of the
Iamented Jumbo. and not only substan-
late thu theories of the savants. but de-
light thu eyes OF every boy and girl in
