HOW RAMS FIGHT.
Dueiing According to the Code OF Their
Royal Shoopishnesses.

Dueling According to the Code or Their
Royal sheepishnesses.
It may perhaps throw some light on
the obscure causes of tho stupidity Of
sheep to see them fight To watch two
rams engage In dnel, which they do
in a most gentlemanly manner, az II
it were as much q matter of etiquette
as an engagement with swords in tho
environs OF Paris, is better than most
farces nowadays.
Perhaps there are some ten or twenty
rams in yard or corral, and presently
two put their heads together. Proba-
bly, they are having q conversation,
and in it some debatable matter crops
up, for one shakes his head impa-
tiently as If doubling tho word of his
interlocutor The insuIted ram looks
up, advances a step or two, and they
rattle their horns together. Instantly
all the other gentlemen gather round
as the two intending combatants march
backward step by step with an admir-
able slowness and deliberation. They
are the two knights at the ends of the
Lists. There is an instants pause, and
then they hurl themselves. violently
forward to meet forehead to forehead
with shock that ought to break their
skulls.
Then the solemn backward march
recommences, the pause is made, and
the two belligerents leap at each other
once more, and tho terrible thud is
heard again. Sometimes they run ton
courses before one turns dizzy and de-
clines the battle, but oftener five or six
blows make the thinner skulled turn
away, to be contemptuously hustled
a Hxyf u,
.ssas the sight of one set
lockers on with a noble ardor, and
couple after couple Join I'm to march
backward side by side and rush for
ward in line to meet the opposing
forces. It seems to mo that there Is
moro interest in this than the mere
farce of the display. However such O
habit arose It can hardly now be ad-
vantageous to the species, and must
tend to lower them in the scale of in
tellect, for while the thickest skulled
remain lords, those with the most room
for brains often get their craniums
cracked with fatal results.
This may help to explain the very
uncommon idiocy of domesticated
sheep, just as the duello among Aus.
tralian blaedellows may throw light
on the dull, thick headedness of some
Of the native humans in that country.
For their favorite method Of dueling-
at least it was that Of which heard
most-is to take two clubs, and, hav-
ing drawn lots in some manner for tho
first blow, to strike tho loser on tho
head as he bends down with the ut
most force possible. If that blow is
not deciave-and 1t is not always so
lit is the turn Of the other man TO do
cracked.-The Cornhil Magazine.

A Fascinating Young Lady.

In Upton county, Tenn, lives q
young lady, who exercises a fascinat-
ing power over animals. The Journal
of Man says that she is able to conquer
and ride in q moments time horses
and mules that no one else has ever
been able to handle. The most savage
dog dog in the ;neighborhhoqd ssh auails before
her in the woods and eat from her
hand, and many times she has been
Known to pick up rabbit in the path.
She says that from infancy she has
had this remarkable power over wild
animals, but only within the past few
years was she aware that she was also
a "horse tanner" She says she is not
conscious Of putting forth any effort
in this.

Tho Baby King OF Spain.

Stories of the eccentricities of the
baby king of Spain continue to amuse
Europe. The continent is laughing at
his latest escapade, which came near
TO involving his country in serious
trouble. A newly appointed minister
to Spain from an influential European
country reached Madrid, and after
time was presented to the young po-
tentate. The minister is bald headed,
but wears long, flowing beard. "Oh,
motherp exclaimed Alfonso when he
caught sight of the diplomat, "he's
combed his hair the wrong way"
The relations between Spain and the
minister's country arc somewhat
strained at present, buta settlement Of
the misunderstanding is hoped for

Dissipation Of Vital Energy.

Truly did Emerson designate dissi.
patton as the greatest evil In life. Ue
did not mean dissipation in the narrow
and common sense Of excess Of drink
ing. He meant dissipation of all sorts
Tho dissipation of vital energy i'm
the pursuit Of trivial objects, social
dissipation, waste of time, waste of
money, waste In general. Social dis
Gpation is one Of the most harmful
forms Of dissipation, because it is so
insidious, apparently 30 innocent. We
arc commanded to love our neighbors,
but we are not commanded to call on
them two or three times q week. The
amount Of time consumed in superfiu-
GUS and purposeless social intercourse
In this world IL something positively
appalling. New York Commerciaf

Tlle Tlnnder.C lap from llrn.Il

The report from Brazil has come like 0
clap Of thunder. Details are meagre
making the report all the more difficult
to understand. Tho most incompre,
hensible part Of It all is, that a move,
ment in which the people are repre-
scented to have taken little, II any, part,
against such q ruler as Dom Pedro,
could have SO quickly and easily
accomplished It's purpose. For, what
ever OF turmoil aud bloodshed may fol.
low; the Empire has been cast down,
the Republic set up, and the Emperor
an exile now on the ocean bound for
the land OF his fathers,
II has been known that the republican
idea was working in the Brazilian mind.
This Dom Pedro perceived and formally
recognized so far as 10 promise to yield
TO 1t whenever II should assume definite
form. He had no desire to rule over an
unwilling people, Moreover, so far as
Brazil at least is concerned, he has given
reason to believe that he Is very much q
republican himself. OF all the monarChs
Of the world he has been the least
monarChical, the most progressive on
the line Of popular government.
Unless something more than the
Republic was to be gained there was no
occasion to conduct the movement in
secrecy and without the promised co.
operation Of Dom Pedro. The mon now
at the head Of affairs must have desired
10 make sure Of their own ascendency,
which might have been seriously i'm.
perlled by peaceful appeal to the
people.
Peaceful II was in the sense that no
blood was shed, but the result was &C.
complished with the army and navy
under control Of the leaders, The whole
episode is moro like a fairy story than
real history.

A WPLLsBURG SENSATION.

A Young boy Dies Of Exhaustion and EH-
poAure on HIS Way Home from wheeling.
Last Saturday a party Of Ave Wells
burg boys aged from twelve to fifteen
years, boarded the local freight train for
the purpose Of stealing ride to Wheel
ing and seeing the sights. Among the
number was Jay, the hileen-yeaf old
son OF Edward Nichols. II seems that
the boys succeeded in getting TO Wheel,
ing, and on the return trip Of the local
they boarded It and got Us far as Short
Greek, or Whereabouts, when they were
put of the train, after which they
started on foot for Wellsburg. AT q
point near the station house at Beech
Bottom, about D p, m. young Nicholls
became exhausted, and could proceed
no farther. His companions left him In
a field, where he fell down, and pursued
their way home, Arriving at Wells
burg they failed to notify the parents Of
Nichols, but his brothers having learned
Of his going to Wheeling, made inquiry
about him and learned OF him being
leitbythe wayside, Theystarted after him
and found him where his companions
had left him, He was cold and almost
liieless, and was unable to speak. He
was carried to the residence oil Mr., Rob,
ert Miller, sr,, and restoratiyes applied
and everything done that could be Ia
revive him but without avail, death 90
curing about 8 p, M, Sunday, The re-
mains were taken TO his home Monday

have labored diligently to break up thu
practice Of train jumping, but the boy
