HORSES AND WOLVES.
Ingenious Mole of Attack by tho La
tor Upon the Former.

Ingenious Mole of Attack by tho Lat
tor Upon the Former.
Whenever wolves associate together
for mischief there is always a numer-
Gus train of smaller ones to follow in
the rear and act as auxiliaries in the
work OF destruction. Two large
wolves are sufficient to destroy the
most powerful horse and seldom more
than two ever begin the assault
although there may be score in the
gang.
1t is no less curious than amusing
to witness their ingenious mode of
attack says the Saturday Evening
Post, II there is no snow or but
little on the ground, two wolves ap-
proach in the most playful and caress-
ing manner, rolling and frisking
about until tho too credulous and I'M
suspecting victim is completely put off
his guard by curiosity and familiarity.
During this time the gang, squatting
at distance. are looking on. After
some time in this way the two assail-
ants separate, when one approaches
the horses head with a sbyness and
cunning peculiar to themselves.
At this stage of the attack their
frolicsome approaches become very
interesting: the former is mere
deooy; the latter is the real assailant,
and keeps his eyes steadily fixed ON
the hamstrings or TANKS OF the horse
The critical moment is watched for
and the attack is simultaneous.
Both wolves spring at the victim at
the same instant-one to the throat
the other to the flanks-and il sue
cessful. which they generally are. the
hind one never lets go his hold till
the horse is completely disabled.
Instead of springing forward. or
kicking to disengage himself, the
horse turns round and round without
attempting defence The wolf in
front then springs behind to assist
the other. The sinews are cat and
in half the time it takes to describe
it the horse is on his side; his strug-
giles are fruitless the victory is won.
At this signal the lookers-on close in
at gallop; but the small fry of fol.
lowers keep at a respectful distance
until their superiors are gorged. and
then they are allowed to take their
turn unmolested.

DoCToRs. we will do them the JUS
tice to say. have much to contend
with from a class OF patients who call
in medical advice when they feel
real bad, and as soon as they feel a
little better come to the conclusion
that they alone are fit to Judge what
Is best for them. Thus there are fool
patients as well as fool doctors. The
moral OF the story is that it is only
fair to the practitioner to either trust
him implicitly and obey his instruc-
tions to the letter or else relieve him
from further responsibility by dis
mis- sal.

PROVIDENCE, L. l., April with
rallies in every available hall the cam
paign reached its climax Saturday.
Especially is this the case with the
Democrats, who showed their enthu-
sasm in the reception rendered to ex-
President Cleveland. Half an hour be-
fore his train was due there were
crowds in all the streets near the depot
and though it was an hour late there
was no diminution of crowd or enthu-
siasm. The party, consisting of the ex-
President, ex-Secretary OF the Navy
Whitney, ex-Gov. James Z. Campbell
of Ohio, and Congressman Oscar Lap
ham, John A. Mccall of New York, and
Mr.. Evans of Philadelphia, friends of
ex-Gov. Campbell, alighted below the
station, but their carriages were at
once surrounded by the throng, who
cheered all along the way to the opera
house. Mr. Cleveland in his address
urged the party ever to uphold the
banner of tariff reform and not be led
away by side issues. He was enthusiasts
tically cheered throughout his speech.

THAT noble old Roman, Josiah
Quincy, who lived beyond fourscore
years and Ten, was fond of saying in
his hale old age that the best and
happiest period of life lay between so
and 80. As the individual testimony
of man of splendid health, high
social position. wealth and the unim-
paired command of his intellectual
powers, it was something very fine to
hear and beieve-in his case. But
how exasperated it must have made
many post crippled
with rheumatism, dependent for sup
port lonely, and without interest in
society or books. to listen to it when
laid down as a universal proposition.
To him it would have sounded
strangely like telling cripple that
the best and happiest period of life
comes after one has had both legs
amputated.

HATCH'S BILL Is GU

ported to tho House.

ported To the House.
WASHINGTON, April s. - Farmer
Hatch's anti-option bill is now out.
Yesterday afternoon he called his com.
mittee together and read the amended
bill and the report he had prepared.
The committee is always pretty
unanimously of the opinion that
Chairman Hatch is about right
SO the bill and report were
approved, and were later put into
the House by Mr.. Hatch. ~ could not
stand another days worry" said Mr.
Hatch. II do not think that legiti-
mate grain dealers or Boards of Trade
anywhere can seriously object to the
amended bill. 1t will wipe out
the bucketshops, which the Boards
of Trade everywhere say they
want to see done. 1t will
further put n stop to trading in puts
and calls, which they claim is against
their own ruling. 1t will also prevent
SPECTATORS making trades on nothing,
but it will not interfere with legiti-
mate transactions" As TO the effect
of the bill, board of trade people them
selves can judge by reading its terms.
The next thing to know is what the
prospects are of it becoming a law.
The bill goes on the House calendar
as privileged measure, because it re-
lates to the revenue. Chairman Hatch
will therefore be ready to seize favor
able opportunity and make motion
for the House 10 go into committee of
the whole for the purpose of consider
ing revenue measures. In doing this
he will be careful not to antagonize
any of the regular appropriation bills
or the River and Harbor bills.
The argument of various Boards of
Trade that active speculation maintains
the equilibrium of prices is controvertcd
by citing the market for the last thirty
days. 1t is declared that speculation
has been active, yet wheat has fallen
IL cents. The remainder of the report
is taken up with review of the evil
dence taken before the committee and
with n full examination of the effect of
speculation on prices.
