Chief Events of the Week.

The Behring Sea controversy took an I'M
expected turn this week, the action of the
Canadian owner of a sealing vessel, that was
seized by the United States Government,
taking the question out of the realm of diplo-
macy and carrying it before the Supreme
Court of the United States. The vessel was
seized more than fifty miles from shore, and
condemned by the district court of Alaska.
Although the act establishing the court made
no provision for appeal to the Supreme
Court, the case has been gotten before it by
another move, and the question Of juIisdic-
ton in Behring Sea win soon be defined by
our highest court.

have been confined to Republicans, but the
Democrats are now taking hand. For
months the Republicans have been engaged
in State stealing. Montana was stolen and
two Republican Senators secured. New
Hampshire has virtually been stolen, and
efforts are being made to steal Connecticut,
Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska. In Nebraska
a Democrat was elected Governor. The Re-
publican Governor undertook TO sit in judg-
ment upon the qualifications of Boyd, the
Democratic Governor elect, and declared
him ineligible. Boyd swore in and demanded
the office. The demand was refused, and
BOYD established himself in another part of
the capitol The State officers all went
over to Boyd, and on Tuesday the Su.
preme Court virtually decided in his favor.
On Thursday Gov. Thayer abdicated, and
Gov. Boyd is in full control of the situation.
In Connecticut the House refusing to CO.
operate with the Senate in declaring the vote
at the late election, the Senate acted alone
and declared all the Democrats elected, as
they had a clear majority of all the votes cast.
There was some informality in some of the
ballots used, hence the controversy over the
result. The constitution requires majority
of all votes cast to elect. The Senate declar-
ed the Democratic candidates had received a
majority, and they swore in. The Republi-
can incumbents declined to surrender the
offices, and the courts will have to deter
mine who were elected.

Had His Nose Pulled.

The only official from the white
house who ever had his nose pulled in
the capitol was a son of President
Adams. The incident is narrated in
the Washington Telegraph, a news
paper which was published at the time
and advocated the election of Gen.
Jackson. 1t seems that young John
Adams was a rather imperious self
ronceited sort of fellow, possessed,
however, of n great deal more than
ordinary ability; and that he insulted
Il man named Jarvis at Que of the
white house receptions. Jarvis sent a
note challenging the young man, but
he declined to pay any attention to it.
About Il month later when John
Adams went to the capitol to deliver
messages from the president to each
house OF congress, after having deliv-
cred that which was addressed to the
speaker of the house. as he was going
through the rotunda to the senate he
was overtaken by Mr.. Jarvis, who
pulled his nose and slapped his face.
Although President Adams notified
congress of the insult which was
offered to his special messenger, moth
ing ever came of it.

A Native Dance i'm Zululand.

You can never quite catch the spirit

described, any more than you can

out about 800 strong on this occasion,
and the dance took place on level bit
of ground outside the kraal. The
whole community was gathered in Il
black mass squatting in irregular
ranks on the grass to see the dance.
After the beeves had all been cut up
the warriors retired to their hutS. Then
very shortly they came Struggling out
again. one by one, the blood washed
off and their bodies decorated with all
the gewgaws of war. Many wore kits
of Zanzibar cat-tails or the tails of
wolves and foxes. and round their
calves and biceps wore ornaments of
beads or of leopard skin. On each
warrior head WAS discus of black
mimosa gum. polished until it looked

The Claim of The Tailors.

NO two men. even of exact height
and weight" said prominent New
York tailor the other day to n Fittsburg
Dispatch reporter, 'tcan wear the same
clothes and be fit. If the measurement
were exactly the same, which it never
is they couldn't de it. Why? Now, /
don't know; but have found it TO be Il
fact. The measurement for Il pair of
trousers, for instance, might be exact
ly the same, Yet one man will have to
be allowed from one to three inches
more length in the legs than the other.
The man who is naturally stout or fat,
and the man who has grown fat late in
life. may look and even measure exact
" alike. but the same cut of cloth will
never lit both. Herein lies the great
art OF tailoring. The variations in the
construction of the human body are
marvellous. Now, the man who has
just left-he is minister of the gospel.
He must have his clothes 10 fit him and
tit his business. His armpits, shoulder
blades aud arms do not correspond with
those of any other man, nor does the
right side correspond with the left. He
probably gestures good deal with the
right hand. He doesn't know that that
arm is fully an inch longer than the
other. This structural difference in
men is more general than you would
imagine"

The old man stopped. He swal

eyes. The group of listeners only
moved forward a little and held their
breath.

was goin' nearly sixty an hour. When

and an old sun bonnet. Just then

from behind an old barn and howled:

looked tired and faded away.
