feet of the snake which did not give
him any warning, as they are suppos-

strike. Bert was too quick for him
however and got out of reach and
proceeded to do him up with his

DUKE, youngest son of Squire Jas.
E. Dent, of Granville, met with a
painful accident few days since.
He was riding young colt in the
pasture field and collided with COW.
The colt was running and Duke was
thrown with great force alighting
some twenty feet away on the hard
ground. Both bones of the right
fore arm and one bone of the left fore
arm were broken and he sustained
several severe bruises about the body
and face. He is now doing finely
and will be as good as new when the
splints are removed. The colt and
COW escaped without a scratch.

SAN FRAxclsco, Aug 2O.-A fire early
this morning destroyed the house and
furniture belonging to Denis Kearney,
the old sand lot orator who once ruled
thousands here and aspired to the posi-
ton OF political boss. Several days ago
u fire was discovered in the Kearney
residence, which come unknown person
had kindled. 1t was eXtinguised with
out loss. The second blaze made clean
sweep.
Kearney has almost dropped out OF
sight within the last few years. He
never regained his prestige which no
lost by failing TO lead mob to Mob Hill
to burn the palaces of the railroad
kings. He learned that Coleman, the
leader OF the big vigilance committee,
had 5000 men under arms, ready to fall
upon him at the first sign of violence.
So, after marching up the hill, he de-
livered harangue and marched down
again, without lifting u hand. He
showed the white feather 80 plainly that
his influence was gone.
After the new constitution was
passed he returned to his truck and was
seen hauling goods in the business
quarter for n short time. But work
came hard, and soon started an intelli-
gence office for servants. This failed,
and for three years he has been polit-
ical hanger on and stock SPECTATOR

ing and rarely speaks in public.

Eastman has been stripped Of his Gre
dcntials as a minister of the gospel.
Formerly he was preacher of the
United Bretheon Church, but for six
years has been member OF the Metho-
dist Conference and was stationed last
year at Mohawk village.
One OF the young women OF his flock
when he preached in Olmsted Falls late
IL accused him Of betrayal when she
could no longer conceal her condition.
He paid her $1,000 to keep his secret,
but Presiding Elder Torbet learned OF
the case and demanded the licenses to
preach granted to Eastman by both de-
nominations. Eastman surrendered
them without protest. This is equiva-
lent to church trial and conviction.

A Royal Surprise.

The officers of the German army, the Captains in particular, are re- quested to deliver lectures to their men on subjects relating to the lat ter's duties.
 A certain Captain quartered in Berlin was due at the barracks at 6 o'clock one morning at the class room. OYer-sleeping himself, and not arriving till twenty minutes past, he finds to his dismay and annoyance young-looking officer attending to his work and busy at the blackboard. On his angry ap- proach the young officer turns around and the Captain at once recognizes his Emperor in the sub- stitute,
 Speeches. with horror and una ble to utter word, he trembling ly receives the text book, which his Majesty quietly hands him, saying
 "We have got as far as there, Cap tain." and leaves tic room without appearing to hear the officers stut- tered excuses.
 The Captain awaited crushing dismissal; but for weeks there came no decision of his fate. At last, when the suspense had become fairly unbearable, on the 9th OI December, when St. Nicholas holds his disciplinary inspection among the German children, he received a present from the Emperor. It was an alarm clock

Murder Most Foul.

Napa, Feb. 1O.-The story of the crime as told by Mir. Greenwold, is as follows:
 Just before dark last night, two men approached him while in the rear of the house, and putting DIS ] tols to his head demanded money, They then took him into the kitch- en bound him to a chair and forced him to drink some drug dissolved in water which partially supplied him; about this time Mrs. Green wold drove up to the house. The robbers siezed her and dragged her into the kitchen tied her hands be- hind her and gave her some of the drug. They then carried her into the bedroom where they remained half an hour.
 They ransacked the house and drove away in buggy ; in about an hour Greenwood worked himself loose. At Ii o'clock the robbers returned and finding him in the bedroom, took him into the hall where they retied him. The leader then put a pistol to his head and fired twice, one bullet went through his cheek, tore out a tooth, and fell in his mouth, the other glanced off and lodged in the back of his neck. Thinking him dead, the men then went into the bedroom and shot Mrs. Greenwood through the head killing her.
 About daylight, Greenwood got his feet free and hobbIed to the road where he was freed by passer by, who gave the alarm. He will re- cover. The leader of the men he says was an American, five foot 10 inches high, with a mustache and wore stylish clothes, the other was of medium height, light mustache, had on a low crowned hat and dark clothes. It is believed the thieves only secured four dollars.

A C0nnec tiCut Horse CheWS Tobacco

Connecticut has horse that chews tobacco. He belongs to Geo. Olm stead. the feed dealer of Shelton, and acquired the habit years ago when Mir. Olmstead did business in Danbury. Franklin Pierce was his driver then, and Franklin, who chewed the weed like a deck hand mover took a paper of fine cut out of his pocket without inviting the horse to take chew. After awhile the animal nibbled at the stuff fas- tidiously, and finally became as fond of chewing as his driver was. His appetite is graduated in pro- portion to his size, and he will take half a paper of fine cut when he can get it. Whenever he sees a person take chew he begs for one, too. and if he gets it, rolls the quid about in his mouth, the counte
 nance expressing lively satifaction as he does so.-New York Sun.

Hates the Word "RatS."

A farmer in Western Maine call ed Joe Thompson was seriously troubled by rats. He first provided himself with stout leather bag of the capacity of four bushels. He then placed an empty hogshead in his log hovel. leaving the bunghole open, through which he dropped a small quantity of meat scraps and crumbs of bread.
 Bag in hand, he retired outside to watch proceedings, peeking through a small crevice between the logs. Presently he espied an old, gray veteran approaching the bung- hole. He takes peep, then sniffs, looks cautiously about and then en- ters. He soon emerges from the hogshead and quickly disappears. In trice he returns, followed by drove amounting to hundreds, which one by one disappear through the bunghole.
 Joe skipped nimbly through the door and adjusted the open mouth of the bag to the small aperture, at the same time rapping the hogshead with the toe of his boot, which pro- duced a loud ringing sound. With loud squeals and fierce struggles the frightened rats began to scram- ble through the bunghole, all land ing in the bottom of the bag.
 His first thought was to drown them by sinking the bag in the pond, but being in a rather gruesome mood, as was often the case, he concluded to put the bag in his boat, and after rowing a good distance from the shore, then release them, and with his oxgoad have a good time knocking them in the head.
 Rowing out several yards from the shore, and being in high glee at the thought of wreaking vengeance on the "varmints which had given him so much trouble, he, without hesi- tation, united the bag, expecting to see the frightened creatures at once leap into the water, but he quickly found himself mistaken.
 Instead of fleeing, or even retreat ing, the rats charged in a body, and with teeth and claws so severely la cerated his face, neck and hands as to cause him to leap from the boat and swim for the shore, leaving the craft in the possession of his one time victims.-Lewiston Journal.

Part of Sitting Balls Scalp.

Captain Sam Williams of Stoney Creek, Ont, received letter from his son Charlie, who went West sev- eral years ago, a fairhaired youth of sixteen years, to carve for him. self home. The letter stated that he was at the time he wrote at Pine Ridge; was a member of Troop G. Eighth United States Cavalry; was in action at the capture of Sitting Bull and saw him at the time he re- ceived the fatal bullet. He secured part of his scalp and his handker- chief, which he sent home in let fer. He saw five of his own com rades fall victims to the Indian rifles. He states that the sight maddened the troopers to despera- ton and that Sitting Bulls scalp was lifted while he was in the throes of death.-Chicago Tribune.
