A CAT OF CHARACTER.

Snake.
In the mountain districts of Pennsyl-
vania two wrens had built their nests
under the caves Of an old farmhouse,
and there they reared small and in
teresting family, says the Brandon
Bucksaw. Among the attaches of the
farmers household was white cat, and
when the wrens became so tame that
they used to hop around the piazza in
search of crumbs, the cat would lie in
wait for them, and several times came
within an ace of catching the adult
birds. When the farmer noticed this he
kicked the cat, and she finally learned
that 1t was dangerous to fool with the
wrens
When the baby wrcns grew larger
one OF them one day fell out of the
nest and. being too weak To run and
unable TO fly, lay helpless on the grass
The cat saw the accident and ran rap
Idly TO seize the bird. but. seeming To
remember the lesson taught her. when
she reached the helpless little thing
she only touched it daintily with her
paw and then lay down and watched It,.
Presently there came black and
yellow garden snake toward the nut-
tering birding. The cat was doing
and was awakened by the fluttering of
the bird. Instantly she rose and struck
the reptile with her paw. This was az
enemy the snake did not appreciate.

and attempted To seize the bird under
the very shelter Of the cats head

one bite. When the farmer happened
along in the afternoon he found the cat

had carried the bird sway FROM the

E An aerolite of immense size fell the

coast of the peninsula Of Apcheron, on
which Bakn, the Russian oil city, is To-
Gated. 1t is lying in water of depth

Ask the average man what he thinks
is about the average diameter Of the
tunnels, or smokestacks, of the large
Atlantic steamships, and he will most
probably say somewhere between four
and eight feet, the latter figure being
put at the outside limit And he will
be about ten feet wide of the mark on
every guess, for steamship tunnels are
the most deceptive things afioat. The
tunnels OF the Etruria, which may be
taken as q fair standard for the big
liners, measure over eighteen feet in
diameter. One of the leading engineer
ing journals in the country is RESPONSE

combination, to wit: Anaconda, Boze-
man and Great Falls, but have failed to
discover a single attempt to show that
any one of these towns, or all of them
put together for that matter, possesses
the conveniences and accommodations
for the transaction of public business
that are afforded by Helena. Now is
the time, brethren, to trot out the adj
vantages you have over us, if any exist.

made strong speeches in support OF this
provision, and one of the best speeches
on the same side was made by our
young republican orator OF Lewis and
Clarke, Mr.. Craven, who fully appre-
ciated the Importance OF barring for
ever from this state these bands OF
Pinkerton hirelings.
But the alert Richards popped up
from behind the breastworks OF capital
to fight the measure. He had a great
deal to say about "transoeIding our
duties" eto., his usual form of excuse
for opposing the interests Of labor. He
wanted the question to go over to some
time in the future, when some legisla-
tive body might pass a law on the sub
ject. He said in concluding his speech:
III shall vote against this proposition as
offered by Mr.. Fields, or any other that
may be offered as a substitute for the
original"
1t is needless to pursue the records
further in the hope of finding the re-
publican candidate for governor appear
ing at any time as the champion Of
labor. He was always there. ever ready
with his constitutional bubble, quick
to move n postponement. but never
ready to give honest labor its dues.
Workingmen of Montana, do you
want to have this man in the govern
or's chair to block your interests for the
next four years?

JAPAN.

Japanese papers by the Yama-
shire Maru are still largely taken
up with the recent earthquakes.
A French resident, writing in the
Japan Daily Herald, reports the
result of visit to a portion of the
districts which have suffered.
He says: mo description can
give an idea Of the immensely of
the disaster, and I could never
have supposed that forty days after
the catastrophe it was possible to
meet with SO much misery and
desolation.'
Of some large districts he esti
mates seven tenths of the houses
have been destroyed; of others not
a single house remains standing,
even in the isolated hamlets. The
rice in many places is rotting in the
fields, for the unfortunate inhabi-
tants running about bewildered are
occupying themselves first of all in
attempting to procure provisions
and the means of rebuilding some
sort of shelter. 'FFerrfied by
the earthquake shocks which
still make themselves felt, and not
having any place in which to store
the sheaves, discouraged, they
leave the harvest to perish before
their eyes"
At Ogaki the fire has completed
the work of destruction, at Gifu
half the town has been burned, ka-
samatsu entirely consumed, and so
on across large tract of country
The traveller estimates that with
the sickness resulting from priva-
tions, the province of Aichi and
Gifu will be fortunate If before
the end OF April, the mortality does
not reach total of $4,000 persons
and that there were at the time Of
his visit not less than 100000 per
sons without shelter.
River banks and embankments
have been rent open or thrown
down and floods are imminent
Finally he says that if shocks sim
liar to those experienced in the de
vastated districts were to be repro
duced in Yokohama or at Tokyo
"the survivors would be fewer ir
| Mum bor than tho Hao6 ~

RAMAKUA POLITICS.
Representatives and Mobiles
Road Board.

Political news with us has been
very quiet. 1t is little more inter
esting now. sin the hands of his
friends is a saying as old as politics
itself, and generally used to signify
that the person is an active and ag-
gressive candidate for some office.
Hamakua probably has the only true
case of 4" in the hands of his friends ]"
on record. Hon. J. X. Kaunamano
and z. Paakiki, Mr. Wilcox tells us
through your paper, are both good
men. They are candidates in dead
earnest for seat in the Legislature,
and in fact have been ever since they
were distanced in the race of 1890.
But they have been running" with
out reckoning a great deal on the
power behind the throne-the people.
These same people on divers occasions,
particularly on November % in Wal
pio, have requested the Hon. w. II.
Richard to be the candidate from the
district. On each occasion, and on
that one in particular, he declined to
with the two candidates above named,
two petitions, one of native and one
of foreigners, were circulated, signed
and sent down to the Minister of the
Interior, as required by law; which
action will place the name of Hon.
w. H. Richard on the ticket, and
elect him beyond any doubt, though
he has not said he would accept the
office after being forcibly elected to it.
There are some things very remark
able about this move on the part Of
the electors, viz: Mr.. Richard has
been one session in the House, which
usually makes it very difficult for g
man to succeed himself, even when
he very much desires to do so; and il
is interesting to observe the almost
unanimous and vigorous following
among natives, as against two gooC
| men of their own race.
Hon. J. Marsden will have no oppo
sition as a noble, so that the race fol
| that position will possess no interes
or excitement to speak of.
Candidates mentioned for member:
of the Road Board are Henry Hall, o
Kukuihaele; ]. Waiohinu, of Paauilo
and r. II. Richard and A. Moore, o
Honokaa.
