CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 17.-Rev.
Father Penziglione. for the last forty
years a missionary among the Indians,
was rescued from drowning by two
Arapahoes Saturday. The priest was
crossing Wind river on the Shoshone
reservation when the current capsized
his wagon and he was swept into some
dangerous rapids below the ford.
Father Penziglione, who is 70 years
old, was rapidly becoming exhausted
when he was discovered by some Arap-
ahoe Indians, two of whom jumped
nto the river and after a hard strug-
gle succeeded in rescuing the drown
ing man. The team succeeded in
reaching the bank. but all OF the
priests effects were lost.

 Older Sister-She talked in her sleep last night, and what do you think she said?
 Poor sensitive Mary flies from the room in passion of anger and modification, followed by merry peal of laughter. The mother and father mean no harm by their thoughtless, encouragement of this cruel chaff1ng.
 "She will have to get used to little teasing" Is the careless comment; and Mary is left to cool her anger unmolested except by an occasional battering at the locked door from the irrepressible little brother.
 "Its no use," sobs Mary, with her burn- ing face buried in the pillows. "He shall never come here again! I will meet him down town, or at Jennie's, or go driving with him, but won't stand their constant making fun of him."
 The die is cast, and mutual confidence is forever destroyed between Mary and her natural protectors. All attempts al gaining her confidence are 'prying into her secrets" A s'beau" Is to her only something to be ashamed of.

After all her careful chris. tian training, she will throw herself away upon man who,. everybody knows, will make her wretched for life. Father storms, mother sobs, sister scolds, broth. CT threatens, but Mary and her martyr girl-friend perfect the fatal arrangements for wedding, and everyone pities the gray-haired father, consoles the mode sister, and weeps with the heart-broker mother.

using against him with telling effect. The elaine that he has slandered the state is too well established and, even, in his campaign speeches he has the un- happy faculty of saying things which thoroughly honest man would not be guilty of. No doubt he is conscious that he is fighting with the odds against him, and gets desperate. He speaks to the To- cality, and is not careful to look after the constituencies which are discovered to be neglected when one speech Is compared with another.
 In pardoning criminals he has shown himself to be unfit for the place he occu- pies. His pardons, and they are nuIner- ous, have been largely to break down the prohibitory law, and to strengthen the power of the lowest and meanest class of men and women in Iowa. To cover up, in so far as he could, his base record of his use and abuse of the pardoning power he has refused "to have the secretary of state make 8 record of them in his office, as by the law required" He has attempt ed to silence the press in the case of some of his pardons. He has refused to listen to remonstrants. Thus, by what he has
 done, as we'll as by what he has said, does
 he make 1t appear that he is unfit to be

LETTER FROM WISCONSIN.
Big Spring, Wis, Oct. 16, 18s

Big Spring, Wis, Oct. 16, 1891.
 The weather and politics are two never failing topics of particular and general in- terest. Northwest of us the praises of a bountiful harvest have been sung to the accompaniment of remarkable festive demonstration. It is well. Here, how ever, the spirit of harvest jubilee has not stirred the souls of the people, either in the towns or in the country, and for the simple reason that there is shortage in the fields. It has been mauy year since the returns were so small. For some reason the rains were withheld from this section, and, as 8 consequence, there is no need to enlarge the granaries. The cold and frosts of August blasted the hopes that still rested upon the corn and buckwheat. Many fields of both grains stand as the frost left them. Their only harvesfers will be the cattle and the blow. However, the farmer will get his living but his cattle and hogs will be cut short. As a consequence the markets will re- ceive good deal of under-fed meat. Hens have proved blessing. Attention has been turned to them when 1t would not have been had the season been more full of profit in the field. Not few fam files have been more than we'll kept in groceries by the fowls in the yard. we do not know what we would have done without them" is common remark we have heard this season. This kind of fowl proceeding we are in favor of, and hope more and better attention will be given to it. ;. Too often the farmer thinks he, has mo time to give to hens and the garden; but both are too valuable to be dispensed with, and will pay for the time devoted to them. ~
 E iFhe political pot Is boiling with 8 great ]bubbljng noise which can be heard afar of down in Iowa. While some of the bubbles may be air-iniated, and will do no harm, the greater part are gas Inflated of @ peculiarly dangerous character, and will hurt somebody when they explode. National and local questions enter into, the issues of the caHvHss; but, on the whole, the. state matters hold the .atten- Non closest.

London Globe: Herr Einhorn, a med ical electrician, has devised an electrode for entering the stomach so as to enable the operator to send current of elec- tricity from the interior of the body to the exterior, or vice versa. The electrode consists of fine wire, which is inclosed in an India-rubber tube, terminating in capsule. The capsule is perforated so as to the stomach, while preventing the wire from touching the coats of the latter. The patient drinks some water and swal- lows the capsule like pill. The other electrode Is applied to the skin in the or dinary way.

W. c. Crunemeyer, manager of the U. s. iron and tin plate works at Demmler, Pa., recently shipped a box of tin manu- factured in that place to President Harri- son, and has received the following letter in which the chief executive expresses his views on the tin plate question:
 Executive Mansion, Washington, Oct. s7.
 have received your letter of Oct. 10, also box of bright tin plate which you ing turned out by the U s. Iron and Tin Plate Go. I have no skill in determining the character of the work, but to the eye it seems to be eminently satisfactory. and thank you for this evidence that @ new industry has been established in the Unit ed States. cannot quite understand how any one can doubt that we have mechani- cal skill and business capacity to establish and successfully manufacture tin plate. No other country certainly surpasses us in the inventive genius of it's citizens, or the business sagaeity of it's capitalists.
 It is surprising to me that any patriotic American should approach this question with desire to see this great and inter- esting experiment fail, or with an unwil- lingness to accept the evidences of it's suc-s cess. It will be a great step in the direc- tion of commercial independence when we produce our own tin plate. It seems to me that nothing, unless it be lack of faith in the maintenance of the present law, can thwart this desirable achieve ment. I can understand how our success can be doubted and our failure accept ed with satisfaction in Wales, but I cannot understand how any American can take that view of the question, or why he should always approach every evidence of the successful establishment of this in- dustry in this country with disposition to discredit and reject 1t. If the great ex- pertinent is to fail our own people should not add to the modification of failure the crime of rejoicing in it. Very truly yours, Benjamin Harrison.

Washington Star: In the days when the mammoths roamed in Northern Si- beria the climate of that region must have been comparatively mild.
