A KNOWING NAG.

He Understands His BuS1neeS ana Attends
 to It Faithfully.
 ''Slivers'' is the name of one of the horses now in the service of The Tribune in the transferring of papers from the mail room to the various early morning trains.
 Slivers is a walking Illustration of the saying that "a horse can all but talk" The sound sense of this specimen of equine intelligence is worthy of notice by the newspaper for which he renders such faithful service.
 There is not carrier in the city who knows his route better than does gray coated "Slivers'' as he picks his way along either of the many rounds which he is called on to make. Being given the reins, he touches unguided all the points on the route. He stands un- hitched while his master carries across an acre of tracks bundle of papers to be dispatched on an early freight, and immediately the driver resumes his seat on the box he is off for the next stop ping place, which he finds with wonder full precision. Reaching the Tribune office, he backs about for another load, and seems to know exactly where it is to go.
 One of Slivers' characteristics is the ! jog which he strikes upon starting on a | trip and out of which he will allow no one to change him. He takes it and keeps it during the entire trip, never increasing or stacking save to make a delivery. However, there are circum- ! stances when he discards this pace of | his own accord. He seems to know when the time in which to make fast mail is short. He seems to get the tip from the agility with which packages are thrown on the wagon, and the racket he makes over the cobble-stones in his race for the depot is indescrib- able. Nearing the bridge and hearing the bang-bang- bang of the gong indicate that the structure is about to swing around, he lifts his white tail and polxes his nose out ahead of him as he gallops up the approach and dashes over the span in jiffy.-Chicago Tribune.

BILL SMITHS LAW.

 Occasion.

An Authority Manufactured for Special
 Occasion.
 An ''old settler' from Kane county dropped into the 1roquois club the other day and was drawn into talking of the early democratic warhorses of that dis trict.
 ''B. F. Fridley-Fred Fridley every body calls minis about the only one of the old, original, first-crop democratic leaders now left,' said he. He's the quaintest character these prairies ever produced. I've heard dozens of stories told about him, but none that better illustrates his keen understanding of human nature and his ready resource when in tight place, than this one, concerning a certain case which he tried before justice of the peace. Smiths Leading Cases was frequently cited authority in those days On this occa- sion the attorney opposing MT. Fridley read from this authority section which quite demolished the latter's case. In concluding his argument Mr. Fridley said:
 "'Now, bout the law in this here case. The attorney on t'other side has read somethin' from Smiths Leading Cases that he calls law. Nov, yer honor, who knows anything about this man Smith? I useter know a Bill Smith who jockeyed around with hosses, but didn't know he'd set up fur lawyer. Let's see what this Law yer Smiths name is,' said Fridley, casually opening to the title-page of the book
 '''There you have it!' he exclaimed GNVi11io that same Bill Smith, the horse jockey! Now, yer honor, eff you want | to take any of Bill Smiths laws you can do itH
 'sThe justice didn't take any stock in Bill Smiths law and Fridley won his case "-ForrestC Crissey, in Chicago Mail. How serpents Move.
 King Solomon acknowledged that there were three things which are too wonderful for me-yea, four, which I know not" and one of these was "the way of serpent upon the rock" For hundreds of years after the time of Sol omon the snakes mode of progression remained a mystery. Latter-day men of science have learned that his snake ships ribs furnish him with means o1 progression So instead of having a pair or two pairs of 'feet," they really have from one hundred and fifty to two hundred pairs. Aristotle thought that serpents had as many ribs as there are days in a month, but had he examined z python he would have readily detected his mistake, that species having 400 Snakes move in this way: Each verte brs supports pair of ribs, which act like z pair of legs, the extremities being con IL T., ,Sw11 of this plate is free, and when the rib' are moved forward that end is raised SC that it takes hold of the surface under meath, even though it be glass. tho straighte .liug of the reptile propelling i forward.

 THE canvass for the minor offices of the house is quite as spirited as that for the speakership, and the number of can didates is much greater, and not few of them are ex-members of the house. Turner, "the iceman," is making typi- cal tammany struggle for the door keepership; Pennsylvania has two can didates for clerk, and Virginia two for postmaster. But these positions are usually settled in the last hours of the campaign by means of combinations with the winning spcakership candi- date.
 D. LEIBHARDT. the superintendent of the dead letter office, in his annual re- port to the postmaster-general, says that 6,S29, AGO pieces of original dead mail matter were received during the year. l HIS lS all Ol o1 11yO plCOCo ONCl last year. Of the unclaimed and un- delivered matter received, 422, ,639 were letters misdirected. Of the undelivered letters, 27,677 were entirely blank, hear ing no superscription whatever, many of them contained money, drafts, checks and other valuable commercial paper. There were 104,673 held for postage; 42, GAS were addressed to ticti- tious persons; 32,273 contained money amounting to S47,9S3; 3O,3O2 were found to contain drafts, checks, etc, representing $1 ,S62 ,293. Of this num- Der 95 per cent were finally restored to their owners; 3,166 contained lottery tickets. Of the 5,716,382 letters re- ceived containing no enclosures, 1,569,- 313 were finally returned to the writers. SINCE the binding twine trust incor- porated itself as the National Cordage company" it has been steadily at work fixing on the market the tentacles of its monopoly. An officer of the company | said to a reporter of the New York Times recently that it now owns twenty five plants which were formerly oper ated as independent and competing manufactories. It is said that this in cludes all in the country except two which stay out and get the benefit ol | the advances in prices made by the trust. Of the several advances it Ina: made, the most recent is of three quarters of cent a pound on manills rope, of one cent pound on sisal anc
 New Zealand rope and of three-fourth
 of cent on New Zealand and sisa
 "lath yarn," the percentages of advance
 being 8, 16 and 13 on these articles re spectively, The passage of bill to re move the tariff entirely from the pro ducts thus monopolized would be ap
 proved by nine-tenths of the American people.

Brown asked that evidence might be in

Wallace objected and becoming excited
declared that McKIm stole all Of the
money. Brown denied this and Wallace
sprung at him, striking him twice with
his fist before a deputy marshal could
separate them. No damage was done.
The judge informed Wallace that he
would have to answer for contempt of
court. McKim stated that he would
bring a civil suit for damages against
Wallace.
