bill which Is supplementary 20 his

tion would inevitably follow. To
prevent this as much as possible Mr.

passage Of his biz which Authorizes

these lands under certi&n restrictions
20 the highest bid Ter. The secretary
will have authority to subdivde a

proposesto donate the proceed OF the

WEDNESDAY, MAY IA, 1890.
A Duel with Potatoes.

In County Carlow, Ireland, an ag-
grieved member of certain congrega-
ton, declining to accept his parson as
suranee that he was not one of set of
miserable sinners rather pointedly re-
ferred to in the Sunday sermon, chal-
lenged his vicar to personal combat, and
offered him his choice of weapons. The
challenge was accepted, the clergyman
declining, however, to use such secular
arms as swords or pistols, but expressing
his willingness to try novel kind of
ammunition. e., raw potatoes-to be
used as missiles, the bigger the better.
The morning on which the novel duel
commenced was as raw as the potatoes,
which lay in heap by the side of each
combatant. The potatoes were to be
thrown alternately. The challenger COM
menced, and missed. The clergyman,
aiming calmly and scientifically, raised
with his first shot a bump upon his OPP
ponentis forehead almost as large rs the
missile which caused it. The layman
promptly lost his temper, and aimed
wildly and recklessly, hitting the seconds
and missing the vicar with great regu-
larity. The vicar, feeling that he could
afford to be magnanimous, put down his
potato, advanced to his aggrieved par
ishioner, held out his hand, and said:
"Come, Mr.. OR, think we're couple
of idiots. Let us shake hands and be
friends, and utilize these vegetables for
a more peaceful purpose at dinner to-
night. Leeds Mercury.

Pussy and the Porker.

An Ell Dorado Springs (Mo.) CORE
spondent tells of singular attachment
between Berkshire pig and kitten.
Both animals fed from the same trough,
and appeared to take delight in helping
each other. During the winter, when the
kittens feet got cold, kitty would hunt
up piggy, now and then giving loud
meow, upon hearing which the porker
would answer with friendly grunt.
Pussy, in finding its friend, would take
the nearest route for the hogs back, gem
orally climbing up its long snout.
During cold nights kitty slept ON the
pigs back, and in the morning would be
found in the same convenient place rid
ing to the barn, about furlong distant,
where puss caught mice. 1t was, indeed,
an amusing sight to see piggy wading
through deep snow with the cat (toes
turned in) on Its back, evidently as COM

The r1.e os Slang.

"a man born and bred in the United
States fails to appreciate how much slang
he daily uses in conversation" said an
intelligent American who had just re-
turned from q continental tour. Gle
fully appreciates these blemishes, how
ever, when he returns to America after
having had daily intercourse with some
of the well bred persons in Europe. He
picks up these blots ON perfect speech SO
gradually and they multiply 30 rapidly
that before he is aware of the extent of
these acquisitions at least one-tenth part
of his vocabulary consists of slang ex-
pressions
This fact is SO true of America that
even the ignorant peasants of Ireland
recognize it when their countrymen re-
turn to their native land. As heard in
America slang seems to add force and
expression to conversation, but this is
only seeming, for when contrasted with
really simple and consequently elegant
diction the difference in strength, can
readily be seen. There are some slang
words, however, in the American vo-
cabulary which, il used at the right time
and place, find their bulls eye like a
mimic ball. But, as rule, the use of
slang words is only a blemish on conver-
sation, and its use cannot be too heartily
condemned. Chicago Herald.

The Wages of Sin

While the Rock Island county grand
jury was reporting an Indictment against
Noel Bradford yesterday for horse steal
ing,a crime he was guilty of in this counN
ty in his attempt to escape after break
ing Jail at Davenport. Judge Howat was
passing sentence upon him in the circuit
court at Davenport to five years in the
penitentiary. jury having found him
guilty in less than an hours time of an
attempt to murder James W. Delano,
operator at the station at the end of the
double track of the c., r. l. & p,
Davenport, by shooting him on the
evening of July 80, 1887, as has been
previously recited. Bradford entered a
plea in his own behalf in response to the
question as to why sentence should no,
be pronounced. He was poor. he said,
and but Is years of age. He had not
possessed the necessary funds to secure
witnesses from another state to testify as
to his whereabouts at the time the crime
was alleged to have been commit
ted. He felt that he had not had 6
fair trial. and that the Jury had not caro-
fully considered the testimony. There.
fore he did not think sentence should be
pronounced. The judge in response said
that the jury had found the defendant
guilty of assault with intent to commit
murder, the testimony no doubt being
sufficiently strong to warrant the jury in
such a course. The crime committed
was a serious one. for which there were
no mitigating circumstances. But in
consideration of the youth of the con
victed party, and of the fact that since
the commission of the crime he had spent
three years in Jail, the sentence would be
n ade as light as the circumstances war
ranted. So the youth was sentenced tc
the penitentiary for five years.
/ Bradford was seen afterward in tn,
county Jail. and apparently took the mat
ter to heart. He said that he would serv
his sentence out like man, aud when b,
again received his liberty he proposed L
lead new life.
