BUFFALo-HuNTINo WOLVES.
A Tragic Picture OF the Plains by . West

A Tragic Picture OF the Plains by q Weak-
ern Traveller.
far-western traveller gives the fol-
lowing account of an attack by wolves
on buffalo, in the days when both
wolves and buffaloes swarmed on the
great western plains:
During my travels in these regions
have several times come across such
a gang of these animals surround
ing an old or wounded bull, where it
would seem from appearances that they
had been for several days in attend
ance, and at intervals desperately en-
gagged in the effort to take his life. But
a short time since, as one Of my hunting
companions and myself were returning
to our encampment with our horses
loaded with meat, we discovered at a
distance huge bull sncircled with a
gang of white wolves. We rode up as
near as we could without driving them
away, and, being within pistol-shot, we
had a remarkably good view, where
sat for a few moments and made
sketch in my notch book. after which we
rode up and gave the signal for the
wolves TO dispense - which they in.
stantly did, Withdrawing themselves &c
the distance of fifty or sixty rods; when
we found, TO our great surprise, that
the animal had made desperate resist
ance until his eyes were entirely torn
out of his head, the gristle of his nose
was mostly gone, his tongue was hall
bitten off, and the skin and flesh of his
logs were torn almost literally into
strings.
"In this tattered and torn condition
the poor old veteran stood bracing up
in the midst OF his tormentors, who
had ceased hostilities for few minutes
TO enjoy n sort of parley, recovering
strength and preparing to resume the
attack in few moments. In this group
were some reclining to gain breath,
whilst Others were sneaking about and
licking their chops in anxiety for a re-
newal of the attack; and others, less
lucky, had been crushed to death by
the feet or horns of the bull 1 rode
nearer TO the pitiable object as he
stood bleeding and trembling be-
fore me, and said to him: Nov
Is your time, old fellow, and Won
had better be off ~ Though blind and
nearly destroyed, there seemed evident
ly to be n recognition of friend in me,
as he Strengthened up. and trembling
with excitement, dashed of at full
speed upon the prairie, in a straight
line.
"We turned our horses and resumed
our march, and when we had advanced
a mile or more we looked back and on
our left, where we saw again the ILL
fated animal surrounded by his tor
mentors, to whose Unsuitable voracity
he unquestionably soon fell victim"

The favorite wife of the sultan was
once a poor girl living in the coal mines
of France. She was beautiful girl,
and some charitable person found her
occupation in a famous dressmaking
establishment in France. Shs was
sent to Constantinople with dresses or,
dered by the sultan's mother. Moth
ing more was heard of her for many
years, until little inheritance was
left by relative and notices were
posted asking for her whereabouts. In
answer to these notices a wonderful
equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs,
stopped at the door of the embassy, and
the sultan's only legal wife stepped
down TO declare herself the once Flora
Cellin and renounce the legacy in favor
of her kindred, who are still poor.-In-

THE COLD SHOULDER.
How 1t May be Used ~ . Weapon Of q
Tense.

How 1t May be Used ~ . Weapon Of De.
Tense.
Samson made an effective weapon Of
the jaw-bone of an ass. But although
in this our day many bipedal donkey
does dismal work with his own Jaw
bone, his disagreeable weapon can not
be compared with the cold shoulder for
elegance, especially in the polite circles
Of society.
The art of giving the cold shoulder
politely to those we can not esteem
and with whom we do not wish to asso-
ciate on terms of intimacy is worth
learning.
Social courtesy does not require us to
treat with seeming corliality persons
whom we actually dislike. To do so is to
play the hypocrite, and hypocrisy is
vice which no high-minded Christian
gentleman will permit himself to prac-
tice.
1t is quite possible to observe the
conventional forms of politeness to-
ward individuals who are disagreeable
to us, in such way as to show them.
without making the fact patent to the
world at large, that we do not desire to
cultivate their acquaintance 1t is
rare thing to meet a man too obtuse or
too impertinent to take hint of thia
kind; but when that is the case the only
resource is to give him the cut direct as
quickly as possible. If he has any man.
illness in him he will prefer the tacit in
dication OF an honest indifference or
repugnance to a hollow show of friend
ship.
Even the tone of voice in which you
salute man or bid him good-by NAV
convey to him the estimation in which
you hold him. The commonest rou-
tine phrases may be made to as
sumo very different meanings by
varying the tone and manner Ii
which they are uttered. There is much
in accent. If you remark of coat that
is something like a coat" you saw in
effect that the tailor has made a fail
ure. If, on the other hand. you exclaim
enthusiastically that it is something
like coat" you signify a warm ap-
proval of its cut and finish. In the same
way the ordinary parlance of society
may mean everything or nothing-may
indicate the deepest interest, the most
sovereign Indifference. or positive dis
hke-according to the information and
manner of the speaker.
1t is good rule to avoid people you
don't like; bnh if that is Impossible, the
next best course is to give them to un=
derstand in q delicate way, and with
due consideration for their self-esteem,
that you can not fraternize with them.

THE STATE OWNS THE OIL.
Hog Islanders Difficulties Increased by th
Finding of Petroleum.

Finding of Petroleum.
The striking of oil on Hog Island compli-
Gates the question as to its ownership. The
claimants are satisfied and seem to think
their claim is strengthened rather than
weakened, while Attorney \. W. Shafer
holds that it puts the defendants in the suits
brought for taking sand in better shape in
that it more fully raises the question. Mr..
Shafer holds that the getting of oil does not
come under the State grants allowing per
sons to take out patents for the coal under
the bed of a navigable stream. This, he
says, was specific act and was limited TO
the coal, and that the State disposed of moth
ing else in granting patents for the mining
of coal.
The rivers are owned Jointly by three par
ties The owners of land fronting on navi-
gable streams own to low water mark, but
cannot put distractions to navigation. The
United states owns an easement i'll the
rivers and can jerk anybody out of his boots
who interferes with thart easement, while
the commonwealth OWNS the bed and all be
meath.
Accordingly the question narrows itself
down to an inquiry as to whether the prop
erty in dispute is an island or a bar. 1t sup
ports luxuriant vegetation, but the defend
ant sand haulers contend that the big crop
of willows is not a merchantable article and
that the bar raises nothing else, and there
fore cannot be called arabic land.
Meanwhile the merry war goes on. Fresh
suits have been entered against parties who
are said to have taken sand since the first
suit was brought

Steel Men Have the Floor To-Day-East-

The Amalgamated Convention finished up
the consideration of the iron scale last even
ing and ordered it sent to the printers. 1t
will be published tomorrow. The readers
OF The DISPATCH are already familiar with
its principal points from the publications re-
garding it, which have appeared from time
to time. Some extras have been added, but
the scale will be found to contain nothing to
interfere with its general acceptance.
Consideration of the steel scale will be
commenced today. As far as prices are
concerned the iron scale has determined the
rate in this, because the iron workers Will
not grant an increase to the steel men when
they have legislatcd on the old price for
themselves. Discussion will turn mostly on
the principles on which the scale shall be
based. The feeling in favor of sliding scale
is pretty general, and the convention may
make this principle general.
settlement of the Eastern iron scale will
come up following the steel. This is gen
orally left TO the Eastern delegation. 1t is
understood that if the Fasteners want more
money-s4 30 per ton is the present boiling
rate-the Westerncrs will assent. Such n
course Will benefit the latter by placing
their employers in Il better position to COM
pete in the Eastern market. .,.-

WOULD SEE THE PRIEST.

Patrick Moran, of st. Louis, Insisted on See
ing Father Mollinger Before He Died
Brought to the City by Congressman
O'Neil-A Very Sad Case.
OF all the sick people who have seen Father
Mollinger in the last month, none of the cases
are sadder than that of Patrick Moran, a
wealthy Irishman from st. Louis He is suf-
fering from a cancer, and realizes that he
can't live much longer. Mr.. Moran is an in
telligent man, and was determined to see
the aged priest, for whom he has unbounded
respect, before he died. He arrived
in the city last evening accompanie. i;
by his beautiful daughter and Congressman
ONeil, the famous Democratic joker of the
House. A more careful attendant than the
genial humorist could not have been Sc
lected, and with the keenest sympathy he
assisted the brakeman to carry the aged suf-
ferer from the train. His lively jokes chased
away the look of agony from the old mans
face, and as long us his friend O'Neil was by
his side he was happy. Mr.. OtNe1l tele-
graphed Father Mollinger they were COM
ing, and the priest received them at his
homelast evening. They drove directly to
Troy Hill from the depot, and returned to
st. Louis on the 2o'clock train this morning.
In speaking of Mr.. Moran afterward the
Congressman said: "He is among my best
friends and knows he can't live much longer
He insisted seeing no Father Mollinger, not
that he thought the priesticould help him. but
he wanted to shake his hand before he died.
His family and did what we could to per
suade him not TO go, for he was liable to die
on the road, but he told me Mt the depot in
st. Louis last evening that he would make
the trip alone if would not accompany him.
/ have been nervous all the way to this CITY,
and will feel easier five get him home alive
Father Mollinger treated us with the great
est courtesy, and frankly told Mr.. Moran
that only God could cure him. He replied
that he knew it, but he wanted to see the
priest before he ended his days. This is the
first time ! ever saw Father Mollinger. but
was struck with his pious example. He is a
BILE man and the living embodiment
of a noble sentiment. 1t is surprising in
what high esteem he is held all over the
country
= Mr.. O'Neil, asi usual, cracked few fresh
jokes, but he had little to say about politics.

WHAT WILLIAMSBURG NEEDS.

Its Burgess Decidedly in Favor of Extend
ing the Sewerage System.
Williamsburg is nothing if not progressive.
She has been paying particular attention to
her public works lately, and the result is
seen in the improved condition of the
borough streets everywhere.
Talking about Williamsburg in general yes
terday Mr.. S. B. Mercer, the Burgess, said:
"What Williamsburg needs is u complete
system of sewerage, and there is a strong
determination on the part of the citizens to
get it. Some time ago u committee was ap-
pointed to confer with similar committees
from Brushton, Edgewood and the city to
decide as to the possibility of building a
sewer that should pass down to Seven-Mile
Run. This sewer, it is estimated, will cost
about $4,000 mile. There are about three
miles to cover, so that the total will rea ch
$l50000. OF this Williamsburg must pay one
third. The money will be raised by bonds
and will be voted upon by the people. This
sewerage question is a very important one
Sooner or later it must be determined and
the sooner the better for the borough. There
was to have been q Council meeting on Mon
day night to settle the question, but it was
SO hot that we had to postpone it,
"What about the Fourth of July celebra-
ton in Wilkinsburg?" was asked.
I'VE intend to line the streets with red
white and blue" replied Mr.. Mercer, sig
ni1icantly.
