The utter annitilation of time and
pace By electricity was never better
illustrated than by an incident which
occurred on the coast OF India where
two English ships were repairing u
telegraph cable near Bombay: Tfe
two ships were but half a mile apart,
one of them holding the shore end OF
the cable in close communication with
Bombay, the other having the sea end,
which was connected with Alden. 1t
became necessary for the two ships to
communicate with each other in order
to complete the work. This was done
by n of them telegraphing to Bora-
bay and thence around TO Alden, and
the other from Alden around to Pom
bay. Thus, as a speedy means OF send
ing messages a half a mile. theySwere
sent around by a route near.y 1000
miles in length"

Wolves HUNTING BUFFALoEs.
An Attack Upon a Veteran Bull by 3
Pack of the Animals.

An Attack Upon a Veteran Bull by 3
Pack of the Animals.
A far Western traveller gives the
following account in the New York
Ledger of an attack by wolves on 8
buffalo, in the days when both wolves
and buffaloes swarmed on the great
Western plains.
During my travels in those regions
| have several times come across such
a gang of these animals surrounding
an cid or a wounded bull, where it
would seem from appearances that
they had been for several days in at
tendance, and at intervals desperately
engaged in the effort to take his life.
But short time since, as n of my
hunting companions and myself we're
returning to our encampment with our.
horses loaded with meat we discov-
cred at a distance a huge bull en-
circled with a gang of white wolves.
1--WE rode up as near as We could
without driving them away, and being,
within pistol-shot, we had a remark
ably good view, whereI sat for a few
moments and made a sketch in my
notebook, aftere which we rode up
and gave the signal for the wolves to
dispense, which they instantly did,
Withdrawing themselves to the dis
lance of fifty or sixty rods; when we
found, to our great surprise, that the
animal had made desperate resistance
until his eyes were entirely torn out OF
his head. the grfst,e of his ose was
mostly gone, his tongue was half
bittenSof, and the skin and flesh of his
legs were torn almost literally into
strings.
SIN this tattered and torn condition
the poor old veteran stood bracing up
in the midst OF his tormentors, who
he'd ceased hostiIities Tor few min
utes to enjoy a sort of parley, recover
ing strength and preparing to resume
the attack in a few moments. iii this
group we're some reclining to gain
breath, while others were sneaking
about and licking their chops in anx-
iety for o renewal OF the attack; and

Girls Who Go Out B~are-Eooted In a Rst-

The Big Stone Tenn. Post says;
The country between Little and Big
Black mountain is a great ginseng re-
gion, and the Parker family are noted
as "sengers." The girls go out bare
footed in the mountain, though the
country is infested with rattlesnakes
and copperheads, and dig the ginseng,
for-which they get good prices at the
stores, and from which it is taken to
Pennington gap for shipment. But
along Clover Fork and up Rattlesnake
Creek there are numberless reptiles.
Beckie Parker is a girl about 10
years OF age, strong. healthy-looking
and handsome, but with a very deter
mined face. She is a SPLENDID rife
shot and is often seen with her Win
chester. She goes after ginseng and
often alone. the roots are gathered
in May and September, and during
these months she did a thriving
business. One day, however, she
came across a den OF ratt.esnakes. She
had only stones and sticks with which
to fight the desperate battle. Some Of
the snakes were considerably larger
than q mans ankle and a few as large
as the calf of cne'sleg For hours she
fought them as they Kissed and ratified

filed with them and no sound could be
heard but their incessan5 and blood

is true that one other company has the facilities,
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an evil hour to use

THE REFORM E

a Reform Paper : Curiosity Two Year.
Ago-Now 2 New Paper Every Day.
Two years ago it vas hard to find a.
secular paper that did not lean strongly
toward either the Democratic or Repub
lican party, and such a thing as a reforl
paper was q curiosity. There were, how
over, . few brave souls here and there y
this vast country who had the courag.
and manhood to call out for reform and
to plead with the people to rise up like
freemen and assert their rights befol
they were made the slaveso Of aplutocratic
power. Chief among these was The Non
conformist, OF Winfield, Kan, edited
by the Vincent brothers. The paper was
moved, last week, to indianapolis, and it
will continue to do the same work there
that it has heretofore done.
This paper has just prepared a list OF
the reform papers of the country, and.
there are IT'S of them, all crying out to
the people to demand 9 reform in ON
government system 70 rs to procure
equal rights to all, special privileges to
nonen-all standing OF the Alliance plat
form and all enthusiastically joining to-

lions.
This fight is gigantic, but the brave,
noble and unselfish reform press ap-
pears to be equal to the emergency. 1t
is winning the people by thousands day
after day, because it is telling the people
the living truth, as against the lies told
by the sheets Of plutocracy, which have
been engaged for twenty-five years in
the too successful undertaking of de-
ceiving the people.
Now, when it shall be understood tina
only two years ago there were perhaps
not fifty reform papers in the country,
and that today there are us. the entlu-
siasm, determination and progress of the
reform movement may be slightly imag-
ined.
And then the reform press is recruit
ing itself every day. Six new papers are
reported for the last six days, an average
of one a day They are The Pottawatta.

vocate, Alma, Ark; The Peoples Tri.
bune. Prescott, Ark; The Alliance
Unit, Stanbury, Mo-; The New Era,
Princeton, Mo-, and another to be started
at Magnolia, Ark, this month. These
make a total of 7G1 reform papers.
