A Spanish Courtship,

1t is well known that in Spain the
methods of courtship are often times
singular. Generally the lover signi-
fes his choice by coming for three
successive evenings with a guitar and
singing a sereuade under the fair one S
window; and if he is regarded by the
young woman's parents as an eligible
candidate he is invited into the house.
In Andalusia, a Spanish province, a
still more singular custom has lately
been observed. When young man
there aspires to the hand of a young
lady he calls for three successive days
at her parents house. at the same
hour The third day he always brings
a cane. and goes away leaving it be-
hind, apparently forgetting it.
If his suit is regarded with favor:
the young girl keeps the cane and
gives it.back to him when he calls the
next day.
This makes him her affianced hus-
band.
But if, on the contrary, the young
mans suit is not pleasing to the fam
lily, his cane is thrown out of the win
dow into the street This is rega1 ded
as a delicate way of telling him that
he need not call again; and the young
man who has fingered near mean
while. reads his own fate in the in
dignity put upon his walking stick. -

It's investigation to-day and returned YER

The story of Deemings crimes has become
so complicated through his adoption of

the career of this remarkable criminal ull-

follows: Under the name of Deeming,

Iowa's Prohibitory Law Win Probably
Not BE Changed.
DEs MONIES, March 29.-Delegations of
anti-Prohibition Republicans from all the
larger cities of the state are in the city to
induce. if possible, the Republicans of the
house to pass the Catch local option bill.
This evening the Republicans OF the house
met to hear the anti-Prohibition .Repub-
licans. Resolutions of the convention were
presented by Messrs Wright and Fair
BARN. The latter gentleman made a
speech in which he called on the mem bers
to give law which would make a better
condition Of things in counties where the
prohlbl'ory law cannot be enforced. After
secret session the caucus announced that a
committee had been appointed to reply to
the convention resolutions. The reply will
be in line with the action already taken in
the house, saying they cannot go back on
the pledge given by the party last year to
allow prohibition to remain the law of the
state.

A Curious Device.

A device for delivering letters and
parcels the upper storys OF high build.
ings has been invented by M. T. Golaz,
Senac of Geneva, IL, Rue Levrier,
Geneva. The letter box on theground
floor has partitions for every story,
into which the postman puts the let
tiers. An electric circuit is thereby
closed, and current turns on the
water from a cistern at the top OF the
building into a cylinder which acts as
a counterweight to the letter-box. In
this way the letter-box ascends to
the top story, and on the way it drops
the letters at their prospective floors.
When the top flat is reached the wat.
sr flows from the cylinder and the let
ter-box descends to it's original posi-
ton.

A CASCADE COUGAR.

! Its Nice to Read About Them, but Not

A correspondent of the Forest and
Stream relates this incident OF an
angling trip in the Cascade mountains
of Washington:
Franks talk was very interesting to
me. and we might have reclined there
on that lovely bed of moss until night
| had it not been for little incident.
l was gazing slistlessly down the
stream and listening attentively to
Franks description of scenes and hap
penings in the mountains. An old
dead tree was lying across the creek
just below where the deer had crossed
and, as luck would have it, I was
looking squarely at that log. when
out upon it walked a great tawny
creature with a long tail. I guess I
was hypnotized or something worse
for my eyes were riveted upon his
royal highness and was dumb as a
stone. did not seem to realize what
the animal was. The beast had
reached The middle of the creek and
paused to survey the surroundings be-
fore [ found my tongue. Whats
that?" I asked in whisper.
"A cougar, by thunder!" calculated
Frank under his breath. There, then,
was the ''varmint" I had longed to see
in his native wilds, but now that I
had seen him I felt, somehow, that I
could very we'll dispense with this part
OF the circus. The beast looked down
the creek, then up, and finally at us.
When L came to appreciate the fact
that his gaze was conferred upon us I
confess that felt a disagreeable SEN
satlon at the roots of every hair.
Frank and l were silent and the cou-
gar took his own time to move on.
He was in no hurry. and seemed dis
posed to take good observation while
the conditions were favorable. He
stood there like statue and gazed at
us for what seemed to me to be about
week. Finally he stealthily left the
log. stopping to take another impress
sion just before entering the brush.
He had crossed to our side of the
creek.

in my mind whether he wanted veni-
son or fisherman, and I suggested that
we proceed to find our way out. I
believe that FraHk was himself a little
nervous as he struck into the brush
on dim trail that angled toward the
cougars apparent course. Imade the

additional evidence that I was a COW

THURSDAY, MARCH "a.
SENATE


The senate resorted to an unprecedented
device of ordering the withdrawal Of all
its heretofore trusted employees from the
chamber excepting Secretary McCook. The
foreign affairs committee reported through
Mr.. Sherman, recommending the ratifca.
ton of the Behring sea arbitration treaty.
Mr.. Sherman pointed out the advantage to
the United States from ready acquiescence
in the submission to arbitration, and how
Great Britain, by refusal of the modus vi
vendi, would be placed in an unenviable
light Mr.. Sherman also reported resolu-
ton from the committee in the nature of
an Endorsement of the attitude assumed by
the president, and, in substance, assuring
him Of the support Of the senate.
The principal topic discussed in open
session Of the senate was a rcsolutio.
offered by Mr.. Carey, Of Wyoming, which
asked for statement Of the amount paid
by the government for rent of buildings in
Washington.
The silver debate again occupied the
attention of the house, the debate was par
ticipated in by several prominent mem bers.
A motion to table the bill was lost on tie
vote. It cannot again be considered unless
by special order.
The sundry civil bill was reported to the
house this afternoon. The total appropri-
alton is S25, 157, 1877, being $40, O26 l68 less

PRESS to-day that he had already made
provision Tor troops to go to the reservation
and to prevent anybody going upon the
land: and that all people who were there or
tried to make trouble would be taken care
of by the military.
The secretary was asked to grant permits
sion to newspaper men to go upon the res
ervatior to report the proceedings and
what was going on, but he refused, al
though Commissioned Morgan had granted
the permission and made it subject to tho
approval Of the secretary. The secretary
said; the only result OF giving the news
papers this privilege would be that ons
or two of them would secure claims on tho
reservation. He was informed that such
stated that the result of g4anting permits,
sion upon lands to be opened by
the secretary resulted in many
difficulties in Oklahoma; that many
United States officers VIC ated
the intent OF the agreement, and nearly all
the contests arising from Oklahoma arose
from these officers of the government under
taking to gain possession OF valuable lands
1t was suggested to the secretary that news
paper men could be trusted even though
United States officers could not. but he en-
phatically held out, saying there would be
no permits from the interior department to

That he had provided for troops to so there
