at the carriage factory has lively ap-
pearace at the present time, the man.
ayers are rushing the work along as
fast as possible in order to ill the Or
ders now on hand for buggies. carts
and carriages. The work has been re-
tarded somewhat by delays in receiv-
ing material in the trimming and other
departments, but just as fast as mater
ial. arrives additional men are put to
work until now there are forty five
employees on the payroll. The first
cart OF vehicle turned out by the Co..
Wallis carriage factory was placed on
exhibition at J. d. ClarK's hardware
store last Monday. 1t was put up for
E. Skipton, of this city, and is one of
$50 carts that are just receiving the
finishing touches at the factory. The
cart is made of A No. material, its
finish is the hest and 1T needs only a
glance to convince anyone that the
cart was put up for service as we'll as
for looks. 1t has met with the unlyer.
sal admiration of all those who have
seen it. Several carts were shipped
Yesterday to Eugene, Harrisburg and
independence. New orders are being
received almost daily from all parts of
the Willamette valley for carts, bug
gies and carriages and it is expected
that in very short time the factory
can fill ali orders that come in.

Star Stones.

The asterias or star stones are among
the most wonderful productions of the
mineral kingdom. They are conun-
drums; the star sapphire being grayish
Que; the star ruby, bright red; the star
topaz, straw yellow. The star appear
ance in the stone is caused, according to
some mineralogists, by a foreign sub
stance in the gem; Others say IL is due to
peculiarities Of capitalization. Whatever
il may be, advantage is taken OF IL by the
lapidiary, who cuts the stone In the
shape of a dome, beginning at the centre
OF the star and making the points radiate
to the circumference.
The stone has six points, and as the
light plays on the surface OF the stone
the bright lines of the star change with
the position OF the gem and produce a
singularly beautiful effect. The stones
are very valuable, the best specimens be-
ing, il is said, worth as much as dia-
monds OF the same weight. Burton, tho
great Oriental traveller, had a star sap
phire which he always carried on his per-
son, and in the heart of Arabia, or in the
deserts OF Africa, the sight of this won
dcrful gem always inspired n respect that
was akin TO reverence. The wild Arabs
and negroes would gaze at the stone
then at its possessor, and, concluding
that he had a talisman OF unexampled
power, would render him all possible as
sistance for fear of incurring his venge-
ance.--Boston Transcript.

In the wilder parts OF South America
you can bag deer or wild hog almost
any day, IL you set wisely about IT; but
months may pass without even the sight
of tapir, though you may be in their
haunts continually.
You see plenty of unmistakable three
toed tracks, and now and again you may
near tapirs moving in the forests-not
Gaping through openings between the
vines and branches as a deer does, nor
pushing the brush aside like a jaguar, but
crushing their way by sheer strength,
with great cracking Of twigs.
II is almost useless to follow tracks or
sound; clumsy as the animals appear,
they can race through the underbrush
faster than dog can follow; and they
are so keen OF sight and scent, and SO
prone to concealment, that even the most
experienced hunter rarely catches sight
OF one in the daytime, unless by accident.
The best plan is to lie in wait for them,
as the 1.-the and crafty jaguar does, by
their drinking and wsllowing places, and
this must be done at night.
may as we'll add here that the tapirs
are common all over the tropical Sout h
and Central America, except the thickly
settled regions and the Pacific coast.
NatnraIists distinguish several species,
differing mainly in size and the structure
OF the bones; but they are much alike.
All go singly or in bands generally of two
or three, and feed on fruits and leaves

Feats Of Penmanship.

John J. Taylor, OF Streator, H., once
wrote 400 words on the blank side Of e
postal card. This was sent to a Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to
the world as being the most
wonderful piece of penwork ever exc
cuted. As a matter OF fact, Mr.. Taylor's
effort has been discounted on several oc-
casions. Beedle, the penman Of Ottery
st. Mary, Liverpool, once wrote the fol-
lowing pieces entire, without the slight
est abbreviation, all upon piece OF white
cardboard 81 by 3ls inches in size: Gold
smiths " Traveller" " The Deserted Viii
lage," Essay on Education, -" Distress
of Disabled Soldier" The Tale OF
Azim," Generosity" Justice" " Ir-
resolution OF Youth" -" Fraility of Man"
Friendship" and "The Genius of
Love-" In the centre of the card there
was perfect picture OF Ottery Church,
all Of the shades and lines being formed
Of parts of the writing. AS a kind Of tail
piece he added the anthem of " God Save
the Queen" "embellished it with seventy
two stars, fifty-one crescents, and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by
drawing picture OF a serpent which in
closed the whole of the miraculous pro-
duction. II you wish to ascertain exactly
how much Beedle's effort exceeded that OF
Mr.. Taylor, count the words in the Gold
smith pieces.-St. Louis Republic.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE out
look for the local cotton manufacturers
and operatives continues to be Of the
brightest character. The trading in clot h
is generally quiet at this season OF the
year, nevertheless the deliveries are good
and equal the production. The treasurers
decline to sell largely, beyond an April
basis, at present quotations. The opera
tives began last week 90 work under the
Increased scale OF wages, and next week
they will receive the first instalment OF
new prices. There has been some disaf-
lection among spinners, growing out OF
poor light in few mills, but Il Is not
likely to become aggravated in character.

Buffalo's Girl Burglar.

BUFFALO, Dec. 12.-Clara Lewis, the
girl burglar, has been tried, convicted
md sentenced TO the State Industrial
school at Rochester. Though caught in
the act OF looting a house into which she
had forced an entrance, she may be dis
charged from confinement in about two
years IL she earns record for good be-
heyior. This mild punishment was meted
out in consideration OF her youth. She Is
only 16 years OF age. While in custody OF
the police some confessions were wormed
out OF her which, had they been divulged
IN the court room, might have altered the
judges opinion OF the girls innocence.
Instead OF this being her first offense, she
confessed to the detectives that ii was her
fourth

His Condition Rapidly Growing worse
Reports of III Treatment.
LONDON, Dec. IL. - Dispatches from
Munich say that crazy King Otto Of Ba-
varia Is growing rapidly worse. He Is
violent, has lost his appetite and is
trou bled with insomnia.
DR.. Mueller, physician in ordinaryto his
majesty, expresses the opinion that IL pro-
perly treated the king would still be cur
able. At the time the king was under
his care, at least, the doctor states that his
state OF mind was such that keen watch
fulness and careful treatment would have
restored gradually his reason. he then
submitted II as his opinion to thominis-
try OF the royal house that change Of air
and scenery might permanently restore
the kings mind.
When DIR. Mueller's official report came
up for consideration privy council was
held and DIR. Mueller was suddenly re-
moved TO the university OF Wurzburg and
Otto remained prisoner in Forstenried
castle.
DIR. Mueller intimates that a certain
clique at court, for their own purposes
and interests, encourage the neglect and
abuse OF the crazy sovereign, and manage
TO keep the prince regent ill-informed as
TO the patients condition.

Polly Frisch Secures Liberty After Life
of 33 Years Behind Prison Walls.
New YORK, Dec. 12.-Polly Frisch, who
was undergoing life sentence for murder,
and had completed thirtythree years OF
imprisonment, has been released from the
Kings county penitentiary. Gov. Flower
pardoned the aged criminal on Friday.
Mrs. Frisch was % years old in 1859,
when she poisoned her husband, who was
a prosperous young farmer in Genesee
county, and his two children. On her
fourth trial she was convicted and sem
fenced to be executed, but Gov. Morgan
committed the sentence to life imprison-
ment.
Ten years ago she was transferred, with
several other life prisoners, from Sing
Sing to the Kings county penitentiary
and since then she has been a special fay
orite with the prison officials, visitors and
convicts. She occupied two cells, one as a
sitting room and the other as bedroom
and both were neatly and tastefully fur
nished.

Both belong to Haverhill. A flesh wound

But for the knife striking a rib aud thus

weapon is an ordinary jsck-knife. Both
men had evidently been drinking, but

Grief-Stricken Parents.

vmaIl Pox Has Again Broken Out at New
Hayen-Outlook at Fail River Is
Brfght-A Suicide at Portland-New
England News.

NEW CANAAN, Conn, Dec. 12.-While
the devoted parents OF Miss Julia Hall
were In consultation with score or more
of sympathizing friends and townspeople
In the parlors of the Hall homestead about
II o'clock last night, devising means and
measures and the prosecution OF the
search for the missing daughter, the
young woman suddenly appeared before
them.
Her appearance created almost as much
CONSERVATION for the moment as her dis
appearance. The shock To the agonized
parents was almost painful TO witness,
brN soon the reaction came and the pa
rents OF the girl broke out In tears OF Joy
ct the safe return Of the lost one.
In appearance Miss Hall has not suffered
much during her fifty-four hours absence
and save a few evidences of slight mental
and physical exhaustion, in her eyes par
ticularly, one could hardly believe that
she had been away from the ordinary sur
roundings OF a young lady in good CIR
cumstences for SO long time.
When the first feeling of Thanksgiving
and ioy had passed after her return, an
effort was made by Mr.. Hall TO draw from
his daughter some information "a TO
where she had been and why she had
gone away in such an unceremonious
manner. MISS Itdli was dttiuSNiN wv
turn, even to her father, and TO all in
quiries she paid not the slightest heed,
and Z"
Neither by Word or Gesture
vouchsafed reply.
At length when all efforts to gain any
information from her had been aban-
doned, she opened her mouth. She then
simply said: sI was exceedingly misera-
BILE when left home and went away be-
cause wished TO be alone. That's all"
After giving this statement she again
lapsed into a state of absolute silence.
The young lady was Immediately put 10
bed and physicians summoned to look
after her physical welfare. II 1t proves
that she needs such attendance.
1t has just leaked out that Miss Hall at
tempted to take her own life for the first
time about three weeks before Thanks
giving by jumping into well upon her
fathers premises. She was gotten out In
safety and the general impression at the
time was that she had simply fallen in.
Another interesting fact that likewise
came out yesterday is that Miss Hall told
her father that during her absense OF two
weeks ago she took an overdose OF lauda-
mum and was for SO hours under its intiu-
ence.
Heretofore the girls parents have been
very reticent as TO the girls mental con-
dition for some time past, but the facts
given out seem to indicate that she Is
hopelessly insane and doubtless measures
win be taken to prevent another disap-
pearance of this character.

To Settle Old Claims.

STANFORD, Conn, Dec. 12.-The town
OF Greenwich has just decided to
settle a number OF claims which have been
pending nearly thirty years. In 1855,
when volunteers for the armies in the
field were very few, the town agreed to
paw the sum OF 500 to each man from
that town giving his services to the coun-
try. On one pretext or another payment
has been avoided and deferred by the
town authorities until now. At a town
meeting recently, it was voted TO pay the
claims In full. This means an expendi-
tnre of about fl5.0OO.

And Gaining Steadily I'm Weight, Although
without Food or Water for es Days.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-James Still, the
colored inmate OF the New Jersey Reform
School at Jamesburg, has finished the
sixty-third day of his fast and continues
to show a remarkable vitality. He began
his fast Oct 8, and in all that time, II Is
claimed, has not drunk a pint OF water
nor has an ounce of solid food remained
on his stomach.
His digestive organs will not retain
nourishment of any sort, and 1t Is POSI-
lively asserted by officials of the institu-
ton that his fast is genuine. DR.. Zandt,
the school physician, is greatly puzzled
by his case and is at a loss to account for
his wonderful vitality.
He has gained steadily in weight, and Is
able to perform light tasks about the
school. The daily external applications
OF sweet oil are continued and probably
furnish some nourishment.
