How Old Bill Circumvented Cyclone

Andrew Gray, a bronzed western
cowboy, who is known among the In.
dians of Northwestern Texas by the
suggestive title "Jug-o'-Rum," spent a
few hours in this city yesterday, says
the Binghamton, N. Y, Republican.
He was interviewed by a Republican
reporter last evening. and gave a
graphic description of cyclone that
once on time made dash for Mr..
Jug-o'-Rum, and from which he mar
rowly escaped. Said he:
II was drivin' across the prairie one

was very warm contest for the office
of constable of Snake township, be.

and Dennis Tompkins, says the Ar
kansas Gazette. The township was
largely composed Of family named
Treader, there being about twenty
FIVE votes of that name and connection
out of the fifty votes polled in the
township. They held the balance of
power, and they were to a man for
Tompkins. John Pipkins studied the
situation thoroughly many sleepless
nights, but failed to solve in his mind
the solution of the difficult problem of
how to win the election against such
large odds. He tried many plans,
crystallized by lonely and studious
thought, but none sue ucceeded in turn

He was finally in dispair and had al
most decided that withdrawal from
the roll was his only hope of escaping
ignominious defeat. In this frame of
mind, one morning about week be-

mule and rode down to the cross road

not an exception. The first man that
met the eye of Pipkins on his arrival
was young Charlie Treader. Charlie
was the pet and the favorite of all the
Treaders, his prestige arising from the
fact that he could play the "stiffest"
game of poker and shoot the closest

township. He was "tanked up" that
morning and ready for any kind of

Irishman flew, but before he was over

had taken, withdrew from the race

ONE incident of the visit of the Man.
ayers of the Soldiers Hons to Los Ange.
les our two morning contemporaries have
omitted to mention, both being probably
too much engrossed in their envenomed
controversies to note such trifle. Col.
Markham, anxious to impress the visit
ing managers with the rapidity with
which all kinds of flowers, shrubs and
trees will grow in this section, when
properly supplied with water, and at
tended to, drove Col. Thomas all
through Pasadena and its neighborhood,
giving the age of the different plants.
His object was not alone to show his
guest how rapidly fruition followed plant
ing, but to encourage appropriations for
identifying the Santa Monica Home.
He next drove the visitor over Los An.
geles, including the charming places on
Adams, Figueroa and Pico streets, and
that neighborhood, and the hills. Col.
Thomas expressed his surprise at the
universal fecundity OF the floral and ar
boral vegetation, and said that during
his trip he had counted at least one
hundred houses, which would obviously
cost from 5000 upwards, in process Of
erection, and he added that if this was
city of 'busted boom" he desired to
come out here and live.

HAWAIIAN ANNEX ATION.

LONDON, October 12.-The Times says :
In view of the amount Of English capital
invested in the Sandwich Islands Eng
land could not see them pass into the
hands of any foreign power with indiffer.
ence, but their acquisition by the
United States would be regarded with
more equanimity than their spoliation by
any European power, to which the Gov
eminent would never submit.
The whole tone of the article is to in
spire the United States Government to
see it's way clear to gobble up the islands,
and the writer's intention is evidently to
encourage Uncle Sam in such a course.
II the present Tory government, of which
the Times ia to some extent the mouth.
piece. has any axe to grind by inducing
the United States to depart from its ira
ditional policy of minding it's own bust
ness, few people on this side of the water
expect to zee it succeed. Well informed
men here understand that the scheme
for acquisition of territory thousands of
miles distant from it's shore is not likely
to find favor in America.
