A CURIOUS OWL.

Dawson News: A few nights
ago four ladies found themselves
alone at the home of the Widow
Berry. about four miles from the
city. There was no man on the
place, and they had an interesting
experience, to say the least of it,
early in the night. Shortly after
they retired they heard the boot of
an owl and the cackle and squall of
OF the chickens in tree near the
house. The ladies endeavored to
brighten the owl away by knocking
on the door of the house and making
various other noises. But the owl
continued to hoot and the chickens
to squall. Finally one of the Ia
dies, drawer than her companions,
decided to try the effect of a pistol
shot. The weapon was secured, the
lady ventured out under the tree,
and, pointing it toward where the
chickens were still roosting, dis
charged it up in the darkness. The
"owF proved to be a negro man.
and the ball struck him on the tore
head, making scalp wound. The
negro, to allay all suspicion while
up in the tree stealing the chickens,
was very successfully initiating the
boot of an owl. The lady who shot
the pistol and brought down the
''owl" is Miss Florence Berry.

HEROINES.

Mrs. Daniel and her daughter, in
the southern part of Baldwin coun-
ty, Ga, have doomed up as agricul-
tural heroines of high type. The
story of their prosperity as told by a
couple of gentlemen of undoubted
veracity, is to the effect that they
were living together three years ago
i'll almost destitute condition. A
gentleman, inspired with the spirit
of the good Samaritan, offered them
aid in the rental OF several acres of
land on fairly easy terms-that they
would pay the rent at the end of the
year-trusting to their honesty in
the tulfilment of the contract, they
having nothing to put up as colat>
eral. The old lady and her daugh-
ter made covenant with each other
to the effect that one would manage
the domestic and business affairs,
while the other would raise the crop
Miss Daniel, to whom the task of
managing the farm fell, took an ak
and went into the woods and made
pillow stock from a sassafras tree,
broke little bull that was thrown
in with the land, planted and raised
the best ten acres Of cotton and corn
that was raised in Baldwin county
They paid their rent promptly fol
the first year and set their stakes
high for the next Last year they
paid for the land and raised cotton
and corn enough to make them more
than happy. They have already be-
gun work for the present year, and
if fortune doesn't change, it will mo-
be long before Mrs. Daniel and hel
daughter will be the richest planters
in Baldwin county. Their history
ought to be written in serial form
and scattered broadcast Throughout
the territory of the Farmers ALI

Two young ladies in New York
city are making great deal OF mon
ey in a very novel way. They are
ultra respectable, indeed, they move
in excellent circles. In their youth
their father taught them to play
chess, and now they teach the mys-
te-ies of the game and earn between
$4,000 and $4,000 Year apiece.
They do not teach individuals; they
tutor classes, and these are general
ly formed ofsix persons, who pay
never less than SIS each for course
OF dozen lessons. The sisters have

work hard, but they make money.

Up to about June II the Rev. lrl
R. Hicks, of St. Louis, predicts
plenty of rain, then he says, "the
approaching equinox of Venus,
which is central on June II. will
begin to be felt. So that at least a
sutficiency, if not sufeit of moist.
ture may be looked for until past
the solstice storms in June. But
after that time we counsel caution.
Take all possible advantage of such
probabilities. Make the best uses
OF rains up to the middle of June,
and prepare for scarcity of the same
for the remainder of the season."

LONDON, July 20. The public ex- aminations in the bankruptcy pro ceedings against Grace Hawthorn, the American actress. and which have been spread over several months, have at last been concluded but with eeld comfort to the creditors. She lost Sl0,00 on the production of '.The True Heart,F while the cost of producing siberia" was $500, not one cent of which has % far been paid. An interesting feature of her testimony was the fact that the se2s5, 000 which she had shortly after ar irving in England. and with which she started the Princess theatre, was given to her by friends" ." She re- fused to reveal the names of these very generous individuals, but, upon eompulsion, agreed to write them out for the information Of the of iicial receiver. That individual upon reading them concluded not to make them public. There is considerable speculation regarding the identity oi the wealthy individuals who were generous enough to place so large a sum at the command of the ex- variety actress 50 soon after her ar rival as stranger in the English metropolis.

One day, a good many years ae,o, Mr. Barnum and party of friends went to Bethel. Conn, for an outing. As they passed through the waiting room of the little railroad station they saw, huddled up on one of the benches, an old man, infirm and poorly clad. He was, in fact, one of the few persons in the town who could fairly be chased as paupers Mir Barnum knew him, as he knew nearly everybody in Bethel, and he stopped to talk to tho old fellow for a moment. His friends had reached the door of the room when grunt from the old man caused them to look around.
 Mfr. Barnum had evidently taken a pinch of snuff from the ancient's box, and had then returned the receptacle to him with something added to its contents The old man, with trembling fingers, was just drawing the object out of the snuff, and as the light struck it 1t showed round surface that had a yellow glow that was pleasant to look upon. Mr. Barnum started after his friends, but the other called him back.

Yours truly,
 ALBERT F. BANT,

We are authorized to say, by part ies who are in position to know, that work on the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phenix railroad. is progressing rap idly; that the preliminary survey from Ash Fork to Prescott Is being checked up and permanent location made by a full force of engineers; that it is expected to reach Prescott by the 18th inst. and that from there the engineers will start south for Phehix.
 No cessation whatever in operation has occurred from the start, nor will there be any until the road Is com pleted. Grading will be commenced at the Phenix end before the time agreed upon and all that the com pany has promised to do will be done. Mir. Bullock has been trying very hard to sell his road to the new company, to lease the road or pool interests, but so far his overtures have not been considered and it is not likely that they will be. AL though, should his propositions be of satisfactory nature, it is not inn possible some arrangement may be reached whereby his road can be utilized by the new company.
 The rumors now being circulated around that Bullock will build or is in position to build, and that the new company Is without means, are fabrications pure and simple.-Phe- nix Herald.

A Chicago Scandal.

CHIcAeo. July 20.-There are like, ly to be lively times at special meeting of the board of aldermen which will be held tonight. For several weeks past special com mittee has been engaged in investi- gating the circumstances under which an ordinance, giving a right of way through the city. valued at over million dollars, was alleged to have been smuggled through a meeting of the board, its provisions not being known to moro than one of the entire council until it had received the signature of the mayor. Ther investigation developed the fact that the prime. and in fact. the only mover in the matter, was Alder man Ed F. Cullerton. a member of the body from away back, and who has the general reputation of being an adept in the game of addition, division and silence. At to-night's meeting of the council, report de claring the ordinance invalid will be presented by a majority of the committee, while a minority will submit resolutions declaring that the ordinance was surreptitiouslV passed by means of deception, trick ery, imposition and fraud, lhet Id F Cullerton alderman ol the ninth ward, is guilty thereof hv h.. own couiess-cn, aud tbst he .e expelled
