HUNTING TIE KANGAROO.
The Grotesque flight Of Herd Upset
the Gravity Of a Hunter.

The Grotesqus Flight of . Herd Upssts
the Gravity OF Hunter.
The rest Of the herd Immediately made
of in our direction; but instead of scat
tering pellmell as other wild animals
would have done under like circumstan-
ces, these queer denizens of q queer
country fell into line and departed in
regular Indian file, the big old doe lead
ing the way, and the smallest diminu-
tive pickaninnies bringing up the rear.
The doe covered the ground with tre-
mendous leisurely hops, holding her fore
paws before her in mincing way that
was very comical,
The smaller animals, each an exact
though diminutive counterpart of the
leader, followed in gradually diminish
ing perspective, every little'beggar hop
ping just little more rapidly than the
one before him, until the fast flying legs
of the last puny fellow at the end of the
line were blurred like the spokes of q
wheel in rapid motion.
The effect of this extraordinary process
sion was to my unaccustomed eyes 30
altogether ludicrous and absurd that
nearly lost my shot in an uncomfortable
burst of laughter. AS it was might
just as well have had my laugh out to
the end, for although / let the old doe
have both barrels full in the flank as she
passed me at twenty yards distance she
never even faltered in her course, and
had quite disappeared in the scrub, with
all her numerous progeny at her heels,
before had time to replace the empty
cartridges.
The No. 8 shot in all probability had
little more effect upon her tough hide
than so many grains of sand. Neverthe-
less, it might perhaps have brought her
down if / had aimed at the head, for one
pellet penetrating the brain through the
eye would have been sufficient. But the
motion was so eccentric and perplexing
that this would have been very risky
shot, and / preferred the chance of stun
ming her by direct double charge full
in the body to the almost absolute GER
tainty of missing her altogether by at
tempting the more difficult shot.-Birge
Harrison in Scribner's.

Men Are to Blame for Female Frivolity

Men Are to Blame for Female Frivolity.
By the way, think I occasionally hear
feeble pipe from man to the effect
that the girls are responsible for all the
tomfoolery in the world. Don't you know
that you are the very ones who tend to
make them so-you men? You follow
after and woo and wed just that sort Of
girls. You won't look at sensible little
woman who can make "lovely" bread,
abjures bangs, can't dance and has no
"style." You laugh at and make sly
jokes at the expense of our big hats and
our pronounced fashions, but when you
choose your company, and often your
wives, I notice you pass right by the
housekeeping birds and take the pea
cocks. If you won't have her modest
and simply gowned she is willing to
make feather headed doll and trav.
esty of herself to get you and win
heaven! You know perfectly well, you
men, that you don't care half so much
for brains as you do for "get-up," and
the woman you honor with your choice
is selected for pretty face and form
and becoming costume rather than for
a clever head and an honest heart.
I am not talking to old fogies who
cling to old fashioned notions, but to
young men who ridicule the customs of
their grandmothers, who shake their
heads at the salaries of two and three
thousand year as inadequate to support
wives; who rail against woman's extrav-
agance, yet do their best to maintain her
in it. When you, my fine and dapper
gentleman, begin to seek out the mod
estly appareled and the sedate girls, then
shall folly and vain show fly over seas
for want of encouragement and the
grand transformation of sawdust dolls
into women and pleasure seekers into
homekeepers take place.-Cor. Chicago

The Fisher family in this county,
that trace their descent from Ludwig
Fisher, of Culpepper, Virginia, are after
a German fortune of many millions.
Lawyer Hildbrand, of Kansas, City at
the suggestion ofsome of the heirs, open
ed up correspondence at one time with
an uncle in Germany to see whether
the fortune was there or not, and got an
answer stating that it was. As the gold
brick, the manipulation of the three
cards and the wiles of the bunco man
contribute to entrap people who
should know better, it is likely that
fools will be found to believe that they
are entitled to share in fortune OF
fabulous amount which lies in the
Bank of England. This swindle is
exposed every week, but scarcely day
passes without bringing up the story OF
some new crop of gudgeons who are
contributing of their substance to fatten
the professional fortune sharks. The
credulous farmer who joins an asso-
citation of members of the Jones, Brown
or Fisher family, for the purpose of Sc
curing his portion of such an accumula-
tion, would be Mortified If he could see
his agent in London smacking his lips
over choice wines and cigars.

An Angry Client.

A lawyer Of some eminence in this
city, while enjoying social hour with
some friends the other night, narrated an
incident Of his practice in which Daniel
Drew, then a skiing of Wall street" !"
figured. Mr.. Drew had been sued by
persons who had been let out at the small
end of the horn by him in a stock trans
action. The rugged fnancier was indig-
nant and vicious when he sought the
aforesaid lawyer and requested him to
take the case. The amount for which
the plaintiffs sued was about $35, 900,
and Drew said that he wanted the case
brought into court so that he might
"show up them fellers."
The lawyer made careful investiga-
ton of the facts and found that his client
had scarcely leg to stand on in court.
He was anxious to win the case, how.
ever, and determined to see what in
genuity and an exhaustive knowledge of
legal technicalities would accomplish.
Circumstances favored him, and through
carelessness on the other side he succeed
Gu al uOu-oulGlAS UlO pletlutluS CldIou
with this result he called on Mr.. Drew
and triumphantly announced that vic
tory was theirs.
"But haven't had chance to tes-
tify," said the old speculator peevishly.
"That was not necessary. We have
won the case without trial"
"The deuce you have" exclaimed Mr..
Drew angrily. "Well, you are a fine
lawyer to look after the interests of your
clients. I wouldn't give dollar bunch
for such lawyers as you are."
"You don't seem to understand, Mr..
Drew" explained the lawyer. "We
have won the suit and you are $35, ,OOO
ahead, to say nothing of the COSTS"
Thunder and lightning, man" fumed
the brusque Daniel, "what do I care
about the $35, 900? I wanted to get on

SOME SOLID MEMBERS.

In all the long senatorial contest some
gentlemen have had the happiness to rep
resent constituencies as to whose opinion
on that point there could have been no
doubt. Thus In casting Pasco's vote, the
Hon. 81. c. McRae had the pleasure of
knowing that probably only one democrat
in all his county disagreed with him.
Probably no o:her county in the state can
show so clean bill of health.
But leon comes very near it. Certainly
very lew legislators have succeeded so well
in voicing the solid sentiments of their
supporters as Senator Myers and Messrs
Turnbull and Hollinger OF the lower house.
All three have made record of which
Leon is justly proud. Senator Myers has
been, both in the caucus and in the senate
apOwerful advocate of the progressive and
conservative views which give living pur-
pose to the party. He had the high honor,
in which many more would like share, of
having been one of the immortal "Babes"
who rescued the party in its direst extrem-
ity, and his name and that of his compan-
ions will shine in letters of light to glorify
the dark hour when the democracy seeks
out tried and trusted leaders in her nights
Of need.
Hon. Theo. Turnbull has made a strong
stand tor that economy ID the disbursement
OF the states revenues so much needed now
and his position on the road law is entirely
acceptable to his people. His speeches
have been short, inclsiye and always to the
point.
Hon. E. X. Hol.inger has been Icons
aggressive member He has suffered from
ill-health during the session, bu: he was
always on hand when matters OF i'm
portance were up and, though not a
speech maker, his remarks ,were forcible
and just. Wnen President Brown made
the ruling that majority, in the meaning
of the law, was present at the memorable
joint session Of May 90, from which Mr..
Call claims his reelection, Mr.. Hollinger
alone hoped for some good from protest
and he made one which for force and dra-
matte effect will long be remembered. He
refused to sit silent and was numbered
with Mr.. Shine of Orange and Mr..
Dougherty of Volusia who refused to
answer roll call, but were considered
present under the rnling made by Speaker
Reed in the house of representatives at
Washington.
The representatives of Leon, with those
who acted with them, are no longer tn e
property of their respective counties, but
belong to the democracy OF the state and
will command most respectful attention
hereafter When their voices are raised, as
they always will be, in behalf of demo
cratic law and principle in the councils OF
their party. In their presence and in the
presence of their companions it is hence
