A Mare rhat Hunts Coons.

A citizen of Indiana has a bay mare,
says an exchange, that has strange
propensity for an animal of the equine
species. She hunts 'coons. The mare
can tree" coon as well as the best
trained coon dog. She can track a
coon by the scent alone as accurately
and as truly as fox hound. She alec
can track coon in the snow. When
the animal trees a raccoon she never
leaves the tree, but will neigh and paw
around the tree. She will wheel
around and kick the trunk of the tree,
and will keep up her neighing, kicking
and paving until Mr.. Yocum arrives to
capture the coon. She has learned to
locate a coon tree. When going through
the woods the mare will stop and smell
the trees. If there is 'coon's den in
tree, she will begin her neghing, and
never leaves the tree until assistance
comes to capture the coon. MIR. Yocum
often rides over on his "'coon mare, !"
and never fails to return with two or
three new 'coons strapped across the back
of his saddle. The mare seems to delight
in hunting the coon, and will start
for the woods in a steady canter when
the master gets into the saddle with his
gun on bis shoulder and an ak strapped
to his belt. When she strikes trail she
will drop her nose down to the ground
and start off at dog trot. Mr.. Yocum
simply drops the rein and allows the
mare to keep on her unerring trail. When
approaching the game, she pricks up her
ears, and shows by her frisking that she
scents coon. Mr.. Yocum would not
part with the mare at any price.

CHICAGO, March 24.-"We want a
revolution; whether peaceful or bloody,
makes no difference, a revolution must
come" These were the words addressed
by the dusky anarchist Mrs. Lucy Par
sons, to her audience OF 250 men and
women, gathered at Twelfth street Tur-
ner Hall, to celebrate the eighteenth
anniversary of the Paris Commune, last
night. 81 have but one object in life, /"
screamed Mrs. Parsons, "that is to make
you discontented, to make rebels Of you
ALL" After talking in desultory manner
on tine social problem and how it was
approaching a crisis, she continued: :
"When the time comes, and it surely
will, let us use all means to bring about
a revolution. Let us act in these times
of peace Will it pay? Go ask the moth
ers and orphans of the 1000 who fell in
the streets of Paris if it pays These who
fell were martyrs and the path we tread
is overstrewn with martyrs. But all the
blood should not flow on one side. There
are, my friends, stirring times before
us. There are those who would slay us
in cold blood, but let us not, as they
were in Paris, be guided by namby-
namby philosophers. Let us have gen.
erals. don't wish to be understood as
wanting to incite you, but when
the time comes we will carry
the human race into new channel.
We live in a stirring time, and no one
knows when the first shot will be fired.
Let us be first discontented, then it only
needs a handful of men and women to
revolutionize the world. Then we shall
have liberty. If you who are chained
down to slavery hao got one idea of lib
erty, you would rise up and be men. /
am not seeking for martyrdom, but they
will not let me go on talking much
longer. But am willing to spend my
last days in Joliet, or have my breath
strangled cut of me in the Jail. l have
but one favor to ask of you, and that is,
keep the torch of liberty alive. When l
know that the ranks are filled l will be
ready to go. We want revolution.
Whether it is peaceful or bloody makes
no difference. A revolution must come"
She concluded as follows: Aswhile we
would fight and die-yes, we mean I'll
die, if need be, to maintain the honor and
integrity of that grand old flag, We will
ever cherish the tenderest recolleetions
OF the lost cause and the flag that was
never destined to float among the en-
blems of the nations"

NEW York, March 24.-There was a
meeting at the Academy of Music to-
night under the auspices of the New
York Citizens Committee, in aid of the
National Confederate Soldiers Home at
Austin, Texas. General Barnum pre-
sided. Many Grand Army men were in
the audience, including General Critten-
den and General Carl Schurz. There
we're also numerous Confederate veter-
ans present. Major Joseph II. Stew
art, one of the directors of the
Home, was the principal speaker. Among
other things he said: "sectionalism is
being fast obliterated from the minds and
hearts OF men, and the foemen of twen-
ty-fve years ago now march shoulder to
shoulder in the struggles of civil conflict.
We rejoice that many thousands of I'm
ion veterans are now upon the pension
rolls, and about Is, 600 are maintained by
the Government in comfortable homes,
at an annual aggregate expense of about
$100 000,0 900 and that they are the honored
wards OF the nation. But what may be
done for the hapless Confederate soldier,
who left the army and feebly shed his
blood as a willing sacrifice upon the altar
of country that had no sponsor at its
baptism among the nations of the earth
and which was destined to sink like
one of the bright planets OF the
heavens never more to rise again.
1t might be all unwise, and
possibly dangerous precedent to aid,
at the public expense, those who fought
against the old flag, and the Southern
men in both branches of our Congress,
have expressed disapproval of the
policy, but may we not find sympathetic
hearts and generous hands to aid us
with their bounty"
After reviewing the great commercial
prospect of the South, its dependence
upon the North, and the negro question,
Stewart concluded. Much enthusiasm
Was shown in the proposed home.

A snake 43 Years Old.

Pomp6y Hooker. an old colored farmer
who lives in the eastern portion of the
county, and who, last year, in battle
with rattlesnakes, killed eleven of the
reptiles, was in Memphis, Tenn, some
time ago. From him an appeal reporter
learned OF another and still more inter-
esting encounter which occurred during
last week. Polnpey is great coon
hunter, and on Wednesday morning, in
company with two others, he started out
on a big hunt. Several racoons were
caught, and the trio, after having hugely
enjoyed the sport, were preparing to re-
turn home, when suddenly the dogs
bayed again. Approaching near to where
they were barking, the three concluded
as they had their guns with them and
were tired chopping down trees, to wait
until daylight and shoot the game. AS
it was only a short while until dawn, a
fire was accordingly built, and while his
companions produced deck of cards
with which to while away the time,
Pompey stretched himself on the ground
for a short nap. Somehow the old fel-
low could not sleep, and after short
while be picked up his gun, and lighting
pine torch he walked over to where the
dogs were. Instead of tree and coon
he found the hounds scratching and
tearing up the earth at the base OF hol-
low rock. Thinking that some animal
had taken refuge in the bowlder, he
iammed the blazing torch into the crew
ice. The old negro's terror WAS great,
when, instead of the growl' which was
expected, he heard terrible rafting,
such as experience had taught him the
rattlesnake gives only when about to
strike. Pompey's fight with the deadly
reptiles last year had left an impression
on his mind, and he was preparing to
run, when, as he says, "One of the big
gest rattlers you ever heard of slid
outen' that hole and jumped at me. He
would a. got me, shore, but one o. the
dogs grabbed his tail an gin it a flirt. "
Just then another snake, "bigger than
the udder," crawled out and made a
leap for Pompey, who "fetched him a
swine with the torch" and then grabbed
his gun. By this time the first snake
was rattling and striking, and, with one
hand holding the torch and the other
the gun, the old negro "blazed away"
but missed. Steadying himself, he took
better aim and fred the second time,
and with better results, for the reptiles
head was torn completely off. At this
moment the other snake struck Pom
pey's foot, burying its fangs in the toe Of
his shoe, but, luckily, 80 near the end
that no damage was done. Again the
pine torch came down, and this time
on the snakes head. That ended
it, and as the old negro's companions
came rushing to the scene they found
him carefully examining his feet, hardly
able to understand that he had escaped
unhurt. If what the darkies say is true,
and Uncle Pompey is one of the wealth
lest and most reliable colored farmers in
the county, the two snakes killed were
the largest and oldest OF any OF their
kind ever found. They say one had
forty and the other thirty-six rattles. AS
snake is years old before rattle ap-
pears, and as one is then added for each
year, one was 43 and the other SO years
of age,

A MOUNTAIN FEUD.
Two Families of EBad Mem, of
kentucky Fight II Out.

CHICAGO, March pa dispatch to the
Times from Pineville, KY, says the feud
between the Sowders and Turner factions
in Bell county, Kentucky, has broken
out again and the prospects are that
there will be much bloodshed.
The feud has 80 many ramiications
that it is impossible to tell
where it originated or why it continues
to exist. A section of the parties have
been in arms at Barbourville for some
time past. The fight began early last
week over quarrel between two rep
resentatives of the opposing factions.
Friends of the family focked to their as
sistaEce. For several days, early in the
week the mountains in the vicinity oi
Barbourville were alive with determined
men armed to the teeth. The newt
able battle was fought, in which il
is said more than five hundred shots
were fred and number of people were
wounded, but the injured were spirited
away, and their number cannot be
learned. A Sherif's posse was sent tc
arrest the rioters, but they were fired
upon and driven back to Barbourville
It was then that Judge Gull himself
headed posse and made for the noun
tains. Another pitched battle resulted
but the Judges party was strong as well
as armed, and were victorious, arrestinf
five of the desperadoes. Among them
were two of the Messers and Gal
loway Carnes, brother of Deputy
Sheriff of the county. The Sheriff.

Alien Capital In the territories.

The Senate Committee on Mines and
Mining have reported on the resolutions
authorizing the committee to investigate
the subject of the investment of foreign
capital in mines in the Territories, to the
effect that the amount of capital SO in
vested by aliens is $40, ,503, $50, and the
dividends paid thereon $4,737, 800. 1t
may be fairly inferred, says the report,
that the mines in which this
alien capital is invested have pro-
duced not less than $50,000,000,
of which the greater portion has
been expended in this country for labor,
machinery, etc. During the past thirty
years aliens have purchased mining
claims, and in some instances they have
turned out valuable. In that time, no
injurious results have been produced
thereby, but, on the contrary, the capital
brought into the Territories by aliens and
by citizens of the United States alike has
facilitated the development of the coun-
try, aided in supporting population, en-
abled farmers to find a market and all
other industries to prosper.

THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE.
Opening Games of the Season at San
FranciScO and Sacramento.

SAN Francisco, March 24.-Hhe Cali
fornia League inaugurated it's champion
ship season of 1889 at the Haig ht-street
grounds this afternoon by a game be-
tween the champion Stocktons and San
Francisco. 1t is estimated that there were
between 10, 900 and 10, 900 people present.
Taking the game as whole, il was one
of the piettiest contests seen for long
time at the Haight street grounds.
Some very fine batting was done by
members of both teams, and the fielding
of Levy, Perrier, Stockwell, Selma, Hanell
and Moore could stand comparison with
that of members of the National League.
The fact that the San Franciscos defeated
their opponents by such a close score as
five to three, and played an errorless
game, aroused sucn enthusiasm in the
breast of Manager Harris that he grasped
the hand of each member Of his team and
invited them to a French dinner.
Donahue played short stop for
San Francisco, and played it well.
Con Doyle, Manager Harris third base
man, made his first appearance on the
grounds, as also did second baseman
Behan, short stop Stickney and
catcher Fairhurst, of the Stocktons.
The Eastern men showed up to good ad-
vantage, and the indications are that be-
fore the season 10 fairly over they will
have gained the confidence of the Cali
fornia public. The features OF the game
were the batting of Stickney, Harney,
stockwell, Selma and Sweeny.

of the California Baseball League opened
here to-day. The inaugural game was
between Oakland and Sacramento and
gave entire satisfaction, which was hardly
expected, taking into consideration that
the players were not in their best form.
A crowd of about 5000 people witnessed
the game, and frequently cheere6
the players. At the end OF
the ninth inning the score was
tied, and necessitate4 playing two more
innings. In the eleventh inning O'NeiI
was distinguished fer heavy batting in
driving one out to the right for 3 bags,
Cahill scoring, and concluding in favor
of the Oaklands.

A Southern shipyard seems to be one
of the early eventualities. The enter
prise, it is reported, is headed by Mr.:
Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg, and connected
with it is to be a great steel plant at
Sheffield, Alabama, where the largest
and most complete plate mill in the
country is to be established-one capable
of rolling the largest and heaviest ship
plate required in modern ship building.
Provision will also be made for
the manufacture of beams, girders,
channels, angles and other structural
shapes, and as soon as the shipyard can
be established on the Southern coast,
all material required for the construction
of steel bottomed ships can be bought
and delivered for less there than the raw
material can now be delivered at the
Delaware yards. Steel bottomed mer-
chant ships are now in demand, and it
is expected that the new company will

Cold storage oranges.

A small consignment Of California
oranges was received at the auction rooms
of r. NJ. Montgomery q Co., the tes
auctioneers, yesterday. The conslgn'
ment was not sent to be sold on this
market, but was intended to demonstrate
the practicability Of preparing" oranges
and other fruit of perishable nature for
transportation in such way that they
will not decay.
The oranges are branded as "Sunny-
side" and are entirely seedless. They
were shipped by B. B. Barney, OF
Riverside, San Bernardino county,
CAL, to Chicago, in the course OF a reg
ular shipment to that market, and
were then forwarded to New York bv
express. When the boxes were opened
the oranges were found to be in
perfect condition right through the
boxes, not single sign of decay being
visible. The plan was conceived by
Mr.. Pierce, of Chicago, who represents
a number of capitalists interested in the
subject of fruit transportation. The plan
Of preparing the fruit for shipment is a
secret, but Mr.. Pierce claims that by it
he can guarantee the arrival of the fruit
in as good condition as it was shipped.
The fruit is prepared for shipment in q
warehouse and then is shipped on re-
frigerator cars especially prepared ior
the purpose, and the fruit can be carried
any distance within any reasonable time
without damage.
Mr.. Pierce further stated that the plan
proved very successful last season, l25
carloads having been shipped from
Southern California to Chicago and the
Northwest, and orders had been given
for building 200 additional refrigerator
cars to be run over the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe system.
On being asked whether it was the in
tention of the company to introduce Cali
fornia oranges on the Eastern markets in
large quantities, Mr.. Pierce replied that
the high railroad rates seemed to him an
obstacle to very profitable business i'll
that direction, and he declared further,
that his object in bringing the fruit on to
New York was to demonstrate to the deal
ers in and growers of Florida oranges that
the process could be applied to Florida
oranges as effectually as to California.
"The work has been done," he said, Gas
a preliminary measure to introducing the
system into the South, to let the growers
see that there is no necessity for their
receiving only 81 per box for their fruit
on account of decay"
Mr.. Pierce stated in reply to question,
that the consignment was, by no means,
specially selected one.-[ N. Y. Mail
