COMMERCIAL JEALOUSY.

For some years there had existed a great
spirit Of Jealousy between England and the
United states touching their commercial IN
forests in Nicaragua, and consequently =
good deal of i'll feeling was engendered be-
tween the partlsans Of the two countries.
Scion Borand, of Arkansas, was then United
states minister, but his habits, il nothing
else. had rendered him so unacceptable 10
Nicaragua, he was in 1854 recalled by our
government ordering TO Greytown the man

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method of fighting is by biting. They
will bite n another and hold on with
a wonderful grip of the jaws, even after
their legs have been bitten off by other
ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will
be clinging with a death grip to one an
other, making a peculiar spectacle, some
with a leg gone, and some with half the
body gone. One singular,fact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained ever
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. This
knowledge is possessed by a certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, South America.
who put the ants to a very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets Il cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together rs the physicians do in this
country, he procures five or six large
black ants, and, holding their heads near
the cash, they bring their jaws together
in biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together. Then tire
Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants,
and leaves their heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed.-Interview in
St. louis Globe-Democrat.

Take our cherries to begin with. We
have, first, the shrubby choke cherry,
which unquestionably might become the
parent of an improved dwarf ironclad
fruit, either directly developed from the
best among the wildings, or aided by
crossings with foreign species. The
dwarf Black Hills cherry, probably the
largest of our natives, would, perhaps,
cross well with the choke cherry. Among
the innumerable wild ''bird cherries, y
even in the wild state, selections could
easily be made of trees producing very
large and good fruit, with which to
make an advantageous start, while the
black cherry might be made the founda-
ton for another race similar to the for
eign heart cherries.
When we come to the plums it is seer
at once that nature has laid a broad
foundation for us to build upon in our
variant native species-east, west and
contradictions from which are already
widely cultivated. 1t is easy to believe
that from these can be educed fruit fan
superior to and widely different from
anything yet known. 1t would not be
surprising to see plums from this stock
reaching eventually the size and quality
of the apricot, with a vigor of tree far
beyond that of any foreign tone fruit.
With this abundant material, and all the
acquired skill of modern science, and
with these natives and all their relatives
from other continents to work with, u
skilled horticulturists ought to produce
remarkable results within a compare
lively brief time.-Vick's Magazine.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Jan. John Sehafer of

with poisoning the family of Jno. Dahl
with whom he worked on a farm near
Movena. The family consisted of Dahl,
his mother, aged 10. a girl nau,ed Nina
Schnek and a hired man named Schenfier.
New Years day the girl prepared dinner
and when the coffee was served and tasted
each member noticed a bitter taste. The
stuff WAS thrown away and a new lot
made. THIS was also bitter but not
enough 80 to prevent the family partaking
freely.
Soon after dinner all became alarm.
inglY sick. The hired man and girl at
once drank u lot of fresh milk, which
caused vomiting and saved their lives.
Dahl and his mother died in q few hours.
A white powder was found in the coffee
pot and Schafer, who was a rival sutton
for the hand of the Schenck girl, was at
once suspected, When the sheriff ar
rested him this morning he tried to COM
NIT suicide with a razor.

CnY OF MEXICO. Jaa. 2-Telegrams
from Villa Lerdo give particulars ofthe fall
of the plaza Tuesday while a bull fight was
in progress. Ten thousand people were
crowded into the building. When the
second bull was being killed nearly every
body rose, applauding and stamping.
Suddenly one side of the plaza COM

followed helped to bring about the fall of
the structure, which collapsed, precipi.
tating the inmates to the ground. from
ten to twenty-five feet. Hundreds were
buried beneath the debris, among them
many ladies of the best families. Crowds
in other parts OF the building, numbering
several thousand, became panic stricken.

bull fighters were also seized with fear
and made their exit with the bull closely

and wounds attended to. The number OF
wounded will reach into the hundreds.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2,-The Helena, Mont.
Herald telegraphs that at a joint session
of the legislature to-day the first ballot
was: Power 16, Mantel IL, Hirshfeld 3,
Richard I, Thompson /. Second battot-
Power IS, Mantel 3. The president an
nounced the election OF Hon. 4. g. Pow
er as United States senator. Power is a
wealthy merchant and vas late candidate
for governor on the republican ticket and
was defeated by Toole.
About two hours after Il. G. Power
was selected by the Republican joint con
vention for second senator. Judge Hunt
of the district court gave his decision in the
case of Representative Roberts of Silver
Bow county who had applied for a writ to
compel the state auditor to pay him a sal
airy and mileage as a member of the legis-
lature. IL was thought\the court would
decide as to the validity of the rival
houses. The decision was to the effect
that if Roberts was a member of the leg
islature he was entitled to his per diem
and mileage. The question of the legal
ity of the two houses is still undecided.
The Democrats again met in Joint conven
tion to-day and took one ballot but there
being no quorum the body adjourned.

Republican who has the best interests of
the state at heart, and can see by the
record that Allison has ignored the de-
mands OF the people, is against him.
Every young Republican who believes in
rotation in office and that there is such a
thing as one man having more than he
is entitled. to is against him. Every man
who can see the necessity of having true
men at the helm to protect the interests
of the common people in the crisis that is
approaching is against him. Every old
soldier who believes In Justice for the de
Tenders of his country, and who has seen
Allison's shameful disregard Of the rights
of old soldiers in favor OF ring and scrub
politicians, is against him. Every man
who is opposed to monopoly rule in this
country Is against him. Every man who
believes hat men in Office are merely
the servants of the people, that they are
placed there for the purpose of repre-
senting the interests and wishes Of their
constituents, is against him. Every man
who believes that for the good of the peo-
pie there should be more frequent changes
in the American house of lords is against
him. Every man who thinks Allison has
had enough is against him.

Emperor William to Bismarck.

ter to Bismarck in which he extends
warmest New Year congratulations and
says the maintenance of peace abroad will
strengthen the..guarantee..of tranquility at
home and expresses qualification at the
completion OF the ~workingmen's insur-
ance bill, which he says is an important.
step toward giving effect to the project
for ameliorating the condition of the
workingmen which he has at heart. He
thanks Bismarck for his self sacrificing
and unwearying CO operation and says he
prays he may Tor many years be granted

A GRAND BALL.
Ward McAllister Gives a
$4,000 Hop.
One Thousand Seven Hundred
and TwentY-eight Present.
An Attempt to Poison an Entire
Family.
A Grand Bail.

New YORK, Jan. "A fifteen thous-
and dollar ball is in progress to might at
the Metropolitan opera house and the
chief executive spirit is Ward Meal
lister. He to whom is credited the state
ment that New York's best society con
sists of only 400. Last April McAllister
was rendered very unhappy because Mr..
Fish ousted him from the management
of the great Centennial ball. Then Nc
Allister said he would get up a ball of his
" some time ana demonstrate what a
really perfect ball would be and to nights
affair is the demonstration.
Money was raised by subscription from
the Astors, Vanderbilts. Depews, Nor
gans, Lorillards, Goelets, Hewitts, Coop.
ers, Clews,' Corbins, and many others OF
the 400. McAllister's ideas were being
worked out smoothly when suddenly there
came the horrible intimation he would be
threatened with a food OF policemen in
the supper room TO prevent the use of
wine. Alter | a. IN. gunent was
brought to bear, however, and as a result
the corporation counsel to day notified the
police that the ball was a private affair
and the guests had a right
to drink wine all night if they
wanted to, whereupon the police board
notified the force to keep hands off and
permit the 800 quarts of champagne
which had been purchased to be drunk
at leisure. One thousand seven hundred
and twenty eight persons were present.
The opera house was decorated in the
most elaborate manner with rich hangings,
silks and floral display. 1t is the hand
soonest decorations the Metropolitan opera
house ever seen.

A Woman's Club.

You men have numerous clubs to

hours, while we-pocr creatures-are
supposed to spend our spare time It
home. have been long thinking of
forming some sort of organization for
ladies where they may go in the after
noon and have a good time just like the
sterner sen. In the evening we could
have receptions for our gentlemen
friends. Of course, we would have no
bar or smoking room, but would have
tea and coffee rooms instead. A club of
that sort would be heartily indorsed by
