part consisted of an ulio OF songs in

drums. Both songs and wit seemed
to drop on apprecative ears. The
old nan OF sixty" sung by W.
Waters, seemed to win especial
favor.
The second part opened with n
clog dance which was well executed.
The stump speech of j. Barrett was
just about determining the "Origin

determined the end Of Barrett.
"NIary Maginnis's mother, falni-

the stage in the most alluring attire
and sang the excellence of her
daughter fairly well and danced it
far better. Whether in the ballet,
Jig or breakdown the old lady SEEM

audience recalled her several times
and the last time she chassezcd

The Irish comedian was recalled and
gave a very good Jig, clog and Ian

considerable cleyerness and present

THE FIRST THING TO CAPTURE.

Judging from the report Of pro-
ceedings at the last monthly meet
ing, the Y. NJ. c. A. is disposed to
make "an intelligent presentation of
the temperance issue to the next
Legislature. With this end in
view committee OF three was ap-
pointed, ''tO gather d alta for a re-
port" No doubt intemperance---
meaning drunkenness-is great
evil; the evil is here; the Legisla-
ture is in duty bound to do all it
can TO remove the evil, and it is
proper and commcndab!e of the Y.
NJ. &. A. to render all assistance in
it's power. These are accepted pro-
positions, and therefore need no
discussing. But there is another
proposition, evident to observing
and reasoning men, but apt to be
ignored by enthusiasts, bigots, and
inexperienced persons, which the
intelligence Of both the Y. M. c. A.
and the Legislature should be fully
cognisant Of. II is this: intemper-
ance is an evil which Government,
without the backing Of public senti-
ment, is pOwcrless to remedy. In
the first place, where all legislati on
is controlled by the people through
their representatives, it is hard TO
effect the enactment Of laws, no
matter how wise and good, which
are antagonistic to the peoples
wish; and so if public sentiment be
distinctly in favor of freedom Of the
liquor traffic, the Legislature will
naturally be slow to adopt restric-
tive measures. In the next place,
the best Of laws cannot be effectu-
ally enforced where they interfere
with the profits aud convenience OF
individuals, unless they are sup.
ported by public opinion. So il the
Legislature were to pass law to
shut up forever all the liquor-sel!ing
establishments in the country, thus
assailing the interests OF those en-
gagged in the trade and affecting the
convenience of those who patronizc
it, and the endorsement of public
sentiment were wanting, the liquor
would be sold and the liquor would
be had all the same in spite OF the

law. No improvement worth the
name, in regard 10 general intem.
.,elate drinking habits can be eff
f,cted until real and intelligent
desire in the matter Is created
among the people at large; and any
law aiming to enforce temperance
will be little better than waste pa.
per until such law is demanded and
supported by that desire. There
fore public sentiment, and not the
Legislature, is the first thing to cap
ture.

The FLOODS In ARKANSAS.

ST. LOUIS. No., March 12-Flood news
from various points along the Mississippi
rlyer and other streams this morning is
that tue White and Black rivers in Arkan-
sas are on the rampage. Both are out of
their banks and OVERLOOKING the country
on each side for miles Heavy rains have
fallen and continue to fail along the
streams and a general inundation is looked
for The Black is tributary of the White
and the " bite empties into the Arkansas
just above the point where the latter pourS
lis f1Ocd into the Mississippi. At Fort
Smith, on the Arkansas. a raise of over
eighteen feet took place in twenty-four
hours, ana at last accounts this swell was
proceeding DIT the same rate. This great
rise, added to the minor floods pouring out
OF all the small tributaries below Fort
Smith, which greatly added to the volume
of water in the Mississippi below the
mouth of the Arkansas a increase the
peril Ito the lower country. All the
railroads in the vicinity of Fort Smith are
suffering from serious washouts or lost
bridges and the trains are abandoned tenn
porarily. At Arkansas City on the Mlssis-
sippi river water from the Sappington
Hook creyasse has inundated the rear part
of the town and lands in the back country
are being flooded
All the available boats OF the govern
ment fleet have been put into levee service
and are rendering all the aid possible. The
river front from Arkansas City down is
beiEg carefully watched and all low places
are being filled up with sacks of sand and
earth aud all other means used to hold
back the waters. The report prevailed that
the ieyee at Satias. La, twenty miles
south of Lake Providence had broken but
this has not been verified.

Curious Mixed Rsce-Sounetilnes Called

These people are found chiefly in Indian
River Hundred, Sussex county, but there j,
smaller colony in the neighborhood of Leip-
sic. Kent county. In Sussex they call them
selves Indians; in Kent, Moors In both
counties they maintain SO far as thew con-
veniently can, a separate social life. inter-
marrying among themselves, and associatine
but little with negroes and nulattoes. Their
genealogy became sub;aet Of judicial inve6-
tigation in 1856, il the trial, az Georgetown,
of case against Levin Sockum, for selling.
contrary TO the law or thatday, powder and
shot to one Isaiah Hartman, alleged to be a
free muiatto. The case turned upon whether
Hartman was Of negro or Iadian blood, and
the testimony satisfied the court that these so
called Indians were legally mularsoes
The evidence In the case showed that near
ly 200 years ago cargo OF African slaves
was landed at LeweS. Among these slaves
was tail, fine looking young man, called
Requa, whose complexion and features pro-
claimed him more Caucasian than negro
Requa was purchased by a young Irish
widow, who subsequently, became his wife
AT that time the Nanticoke Indians still lin
gered in the neighborhOod. The offspring Of
Requa and his Irish wife were noe recognized
in white society and would not associate and
intermarry with negroes, but they did asso-
ciate and internarry with the Indians and
their descendants have preserved their In

One of the most remarkable freaks of ma
ture ever known can be found near Van
couver, In an Indian settlement. The strange
being is called Joe, and it is difficult to tell
whether the animal is bear or an Indian.
The uncouth being is of prodigious size and
strength. with limbs well formed, except that
the ankles turn out, giving the feet the APP
pearauce Of paws. The face and head is
shaped very nearly ike that of grizzly bear
He never sits or stands like man, but when
at rest settles upon his launches like a bear
When In motion he walks on all tours with
the peculiar sidelong awkward motion of a
bear. He cannot talk, but gives vent to
growls like bear. When enraged he seizes
the object OF his wrath in death like hug.
Thus far he is TO all intents and purposes q
bear.
But his parents are Indians his associates
are Indians, he loves red blankets and Indian
trinkets, and his food is Indian food
Joe is well known throughout both Brit.
ish Columbia and Washington. Every
year he goes with the other Indians to the
Puana valley, and the Snake and Columbus
rivers in the hop picking season and proves
himself to be the best hop picker of the triDs
Philadelphia Times.

hollands SUCCESSOR.
Governor Francis Appoints L. Y. Stephens
The Exact Shortage.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 12-The
urer Noland's books completed their work
little before noon. and they are now pre-
pairing report for the governor. None OF
them will make any statement for publ
cation until the report is in the governor 5
hands. 1t is known. however, that the ex-
act shortage is S32, 12l.9S. The committee
found three drafts made by the treasurer
upon banks holding state funds, amount
ing to several hundred dollars, which were
not authorized by law. The other checks
could not be found.
Sufficient evidence has developed to war
rant NOland's prosecution, which will be
begun at once. Nothing was found by
the committee which might compromise
any other state officers or any OF Noland's
assistants. Mr.. holland announces that be
will not make the statement for publica-
ton as intimated by him last week.
Governor Francis accepted State Treas
urer Noland's resignation ut 4 o'clock this
afternoon. and appointed Colonel Lon V.
Stephens his successor. Colonel Stephens
has furnished il bond in the sum of S3 500
600. This afternoon Colonel Stephens
appointed Edward Orear, of Saline county,
cashier of the department. No other
changes will be made.
Nothing prevents the committee from
reporting except desire Ga the part Of the
new treasurer to get an exact settlement
with the committee before such report is
rendered. His bondsmen Will probably
have completed making good Treasurer
Noland's shortage tomorrow. Colonel.
Stephens will take formal charge of affaifs
in the morning.

The Railroads Cutting Rates on All Kinds
of Traffic,


KANSAS CITY, Mo-. March 12-The rail-
road business seems to be approaching
Generalization. Following the cuts in
passenger rates are the. cuts in freight
rates, IN which nearly all the roads enter
ing and leaving this city seem to be inter-
ested. The Rock Island, the Alton and
the Burlington are carrying the bulk of
the packing house products at greatly re-
duced rates. The Burlington is carry
ing whisky west at a reduction in
the usual rate of 5 cents from
Cincinnati to Kansas City, and of
10 cents from St. Louis to Kansas City.
The Chicago. ST. Paul & Kansas City is
making rates on so cent basis to Kansas
City group points and Des Moines group
points. The regular rates are made on a
per cent basis.
The Wabash is handling corn to Toledo
and eastern points at - cent rebate.
They have also cut the rate on whisky, in
one instance at least cents. The cutting
of rates seems to be secret, and there APP
pears to be no present indication of the
war being brought to satisfactory termi-

A Peculiar Plant.

The Falklands produce no trees, but they
do produce wood-wood in a very remarka-
bic shape. You viii see, scattered here and
there, singular blocks of what look like
weather beaten, messy, gray stones, of vari-
Gus size. But if you attempt to roll over one
OF these rounded powders you win find your
self unable to accomplish it, In fact, the
stone is tied down to the ground--tied down
by roofs; or, in other words, it is not stone,
but block of living wood If you examine
it at the right time you may be able 20 find
upon 1t, half hidden among the hchens and
MOSES, a few of its obscure leaves and flow
ers Ii you try to cut il with an ak you Will
find it extremely hard to do so. 1t is entirely
unwedgeable, being made up of countless
branches which grow 50 closely together that
they become consolidated into one mass. On
a sunny day Of you are lucky enough to see a
sunny day in FalklandD you may perhaps find
on the warm side OF the ''balsam bog'' for so
the living stone is called few drops of a
fragrant gum, highly priced by the shepherds
for its supposed medicinal qualities. This
wonderful plant is the Bolax glebaria of bot
anists, and belongs TO the same family as do

against the Travellers Insurance company
OF this city which represents considerable
su us TO be due to Henry from the COM
pany. the officers of the Travellers say ex-
ceptions will be filed to the report and the
matter will be heard at the next term of
the circuit court in Denver. 1t is only one
step in a long litigation. They further say
The company never had any of Henry 5
money, but he had much of its money aud
instead of i, owing him. he is largely in
debted 10 the Trayelers' Insurance COM
pany. They say the courts have removed
Henry from all positions of trusts which
he held for the benefit of the company for
the reason that the trusts have been
abused and the masters report does not
consider claims made in the same litiga-
ton by the same company against Henry
for large sums received and alleged TO have
been converted by him to his own use.
