A Colt That Joined Herd of Deer.

Milton (Ore.) Eagle: William Nichols,
of Milton, when gathering his horses from
the range last fall found that favorite
Percheron colt was missing, and all efforts
to find him proved unavailing, SO the ami
NAL was abandoned to its fate, which no
one doubted would be that OF the vast
number that have found their way into the
equine paradise through the inclemency of
the present unusually severe winter. Dur
ing the present week Mr.. Nichols, accom-
panied by another gentleman, while hunt
ing deer among the mountains that
form the source Of the Walla Walla river
started band of seventeen black-tails
from deep canyon, and to their surprise
observed a yearling colt speeding
away with the band, apparently as fright
ened as the deer themselves. Although the
colt had acquired their wildness by associa-
! ton he lacked the speed of these mountain
climbers. and was soon left far behind in
the mad scramble over the rugged hills.
The gentlemen, who were we'll mounted,
pursued and overlook the colt. which proved
to be Mr.. Nichols Percheron.
From the fact that tracks of the colt fol-
lowing the trail of the deer were seen in
several instances, and other evidences that
were to be seen, it is believed that it had
spent the entire winter with its strange
companions, and prolonged its existence BY
following the guidance of the excellent in
stinct of the deer in search of food when
the snow was deep.

Fashionable Society in England.

Vanity Fair: The falling away from the
ancient and honored traditions of hospital
ity is one of the most portentous signs of
the hollowness and insincerity of our mod
ern life. It would seem as though in our
social relations to one another we are daily
sinking deeper and deeper into the slough
of hypocrisy and selfshness. Woefully
have we fallen away from grace since Bril-
lat-Savarin told US that when We received
friend under our roof tree, We made our
selves, for the time he was our guest, re-
sponsible not only for his physical we'll be-
ing, but also for his happiness.
Who cares nowadays whether guest is
enjoying himself or not2 Where is the
hostess who will take the trouble to insure
him pleasant evening? To-day. when we
invite any one to our house, it is with the
distinct idea of getting something out of
him; case simply of What will you give
most wearisome of bores, and We may detest
the very sight of him, but We ask him to
dinner, and give him of our best, because he
is a friend of young Lord Noddiekins-who
would just suit poor Alice-and whom we
| intend our bore shall introduce to US in due
course. Miss de 9mythe's airs and preten-
sions are intolerable, and her manners are
dreadful; still we invite her, because she is
| one of the best dressed women in London.
Mrs. Dasher, that rather rapid little widow
| is not exactly desirable guest; but. then
she knows the incest men in town, and she
is 80 good-natured about introducing. And
so on down the list.
The sale and barter of what small rem
nant of social virtue is left to us is an igno
BILE traffic; but. alas, it ID fast becoming {
favorite one. We are familiar with the ad-
vertisements which read somewhat as fol
lows: "A lady of rank and high socia
position will arrange with ladies wishing
for introductions to good society" Ant
guests are just as bad as their hosts. The
consider an invitation, and devote as mucl
, though to it as though it were some impor
i tant commercial enterprise; and if at las
' they accept it, ten to one it is because the
: hope to entrap some fellow guest, VII
/ would prove desirable addition to tnei
1 on-visiting lists. The fact is, the Who'll
1 ideal of hospitality has been cheapened an
lowered, and its conduct reduced to a mea

effrontery are the most efhcacious weapons
Women are, am bound to acknowledge
chiefly to blame for this, as they are NOR
or less indirectly for all the social sins o
the world; and to them must be attributes
the blight of selfishness and calculation
that has fallen upon us. But men are NO

of Kansas are looking TO their OVID in

Germ whether Galveston grows, or not,
except that they desire a good market
here and a strong competition among
buyers. Galveston will sell this year
$50. 000. 900 in merchandise, and through
this port the Kansas fruit dealer IS en-
abled TO sell tropical fruits at prices
which take them out of the list of lux
uries. On account of deep water at the
gulf coast every acre of land in Kansas
should advance in price. No other state
has better market for her products,
and the Kansau who can afford the time
and expense should visit Galveston, and
see twenty or thirty European and South
American vessels loading with the
products of his state. ready to steam or
sail out to every port of prominence in
the known world. Should Galveston
become city of 100000, (and appear
ances are favorable at present), within

owe much of that increase to the pros
perity of Kansas. state which did its
full duty in influencing congress to
assure deep water at Galveston.

KANSAS AND DEEP WATER.

Special Correspondence.
GALVESTON. Texas, Nov. %. - The
great agricultural state of Kansas viii
receive almost rs much benefit from deep
water at this port as will be gained by
the city of Galveston. The prominent
men of all political parties assisted by the
newspapers of Kansas deserve great
credit for their untiring work which has
resulted in a government all appropria-
ton of Sc. 800, 600. From Kansas City TO
the Colorado state line and from Wichita
to White Cloud every man has favored
deep water at Galveston, for it means a
big advance upon every bushel of wheat
and corn. Deep water at this port means
good prices for cattle and all other kinds
of stocks. Ii means that the Kansas
farmer Will always have in the future as
good market as the man who tills the
soil in Ohio or Indiana, for the Kansas is
Just as near tide water as the Hoosier or
Buckeye. Kansas has a deep interest in
Galveston, and the city by the sea will
allow no chance for disappointment.
Since deep water became an assured
fact and the largest vessels have been
loading at the wharveS, the trade of the
city has doubled and in many instances
trebled. The bank clearings Of Calves
ton for October, 1890. were $40. 029 266,
those Of Omaha S24. PSI ,jl4 while Den
vers official figures showed SCI, 2j6, 421.
Much Of the credit for this increase
comes from the producing state Of Kan
Sas. Close staticians place the figures
upon the surplus crop raisei IN the ter
ritory west of Galveston as follows:
Corn 150. 600. 600 bushels. wheat l12. 600.

EVIL.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
From whence came evil, and why is
man subjected to contending forces?
Evidently, good and evil are necessarily
coeval, either being possible condition
for all created intelligences endowed
with moral nature and freedom of will;
and evil comes in, as an active principle,
in the life of any order of being, only
through and by disobedience. There is
a sense in which that that is, is right.
1t could not be otherwise. Evil is to be
met, resisted and overcome as the means
to a prosperous and natural develop
ment.
The finite cannot understand the in
finite; and man can never COMPREHEND
all things. Man, in all his parts, is a
developing being with a limitless capac-
ity for an increase in knowledge. The
domain of knowledge Is as boundless as
space, and the known is TO the unknown
as time to eternity. But we can and
will continue to understand things which
appear dark aud mysterious. While no
order of beings is under the necessity of
yielding to evil, all must meet it. There
is some utility in evil. 5.

THAT PREDICTION.
From the Anthony Republican.

From the Anthony Republican.
The Wichita EAGLE maker a predic-
ton that the Republicans in congress
must before March 4th, pass free coin
age bill and modify the Mckinley bill,
or the party will not carry more than
five states in 1892, and not one of the
western states. The EAGEE is only par
tally correct in this. The free coinage
part is all right, but the Mckinley part
is all wrong. We believe in more
money, a per capita of fifty or sixty dol
lars will not be too much. With more
money prices of farm products will be
advanced, and plenty and prosperity will
settle over the west as well as the east.
AS to the Mckinley bill, the EAGLE is
scared by advertising lodges used by I'M
scrupulous politicians during the cam,
paign. None of the necessaries of life
have been raised in price, and all things
that the people buy now are lower in
price than ever before since 1865.
it is not argument to call the tariff bill
swindle. neither does it make it so. A
years trial will convince the people that
the bill has been misrepresented. Now
the Republican will make prediction;
give the tariff a trial, make coinage free,
hold the banner of Republicanism up
with honesty of purpose, and you will
elect president and congress IN 1872.
