ScpNsIDERATE SENATOR HANS.

Senator Hans, from the borough
of North Dakota, considerably res
cinds his first ferovious impulse and
intent to roast Senator German
This is very fortunatefor Hans.
In the pride of place Hans is to- apt
to forget that he #is an accident, a
scratch, which ma happen once in
"a thousand times in the game ofpol-
sitics, but which never has repeated
itself and never will: He should
rest content with the fame of being
the great American statesman who
mad de the startling discovery that
the poor, neglected hens of our
yards and gardens were and for
years had been struggling along,
trying to produce the raw
material Of the omelets Of our break
fast tables against the fearful odds
Of the scompe etition Of the paupers
lied hens Of Europe, without a sin
gle cents worth, Of protectior on
their fruit. Just how t@came that
this tremendous oversightWas com
mitted BY the array Of Republican
statesmen who proceeded Hans is
not known and will not be until
some poulterer, with a soul above
mere eggs, shall make II his life
effort to discover and uncover it.
Il was happy oversight, though,
for Senator Hans. Il gave him his
opportunity to connect his name in
dissoiubly with that great and bene-
idcent policy which possesses the
magical power Of making all things

Chiffon had built a pen on the

little Dave McMackins came upand
the trouble commenced by Holland
wanting to know by what authori-
ty he (Chilton) had built a pen on
his land. At this Chiffon became
angry and replied that he had a
right to build a pen anywhere to

fore the meeting here of the State

next Thursday, Governor Bucban-
an would announce his opposition
tothe sub-treasury project as an I'M

to know who originated the rumor,
and it has been received with sur
prise, and, by most people, with
incredulity. Governor Buchanan
was asked this afternoon whether
or not it were true. The governor
would neither confirm nor deny the
rumor, satisfying himself by saying
that it was very easy to hear almost
anything. 1t had been reported,
he said, that he had gone into the
third party, but of course he had
done no such thing. 1t had also
been said that those in the Turney
meeting on Thursday had doubted
his Democracy. Continuing the
governor said:

The mob placed ropes around the

The negroes were then placed to-

then quickly dispersed, and it was
not until daylight that the extent
of the lynching was realized. Ear

Prices for otter skins.

The most valuable otter fur is that
of the darkest color. A rich, nearly
Jet black fur with long silver hairs
scattered through is the most priced
of all, and such pelts bring the hunt
er from $3.50 to $3.50. The clear black
comes next in value, and the brown
is the cheapest of all and bring from
SIS to 500. These prices do not in
dictate the true value of the skins, for
the locality is a long distance from
the railways, and it is very difficult
and expensive to get freight of any
kind from this out of the way beach.
A skin that the hunter sells for $3.50
more than doubles in value by the
time it goes through several hands
and reaches a good market. Cor.

In England the black death made
its first appearance in Dorsetshire,
and quickly spreading over the west
it reached London by way Of Oxford,
leaving death and desolation behind
it everywhere. It was as fatal in the
country as in the town. Whole vii
lagos were depopulated and small
towns almost wiped out of existence.
The dead lay unburied as they had
died, for priests had been swept
away with their hocks, and in many
parishes there was no one left to eel
citrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense
To add to the horror of the times,
bands of marauders roamed about
unmolested, robbing alike the dead
and the living, and dogs, deprived of
their masters by death. came to-

The animals began to give out, and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on hunt for

they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture SO
hot that it would actually burn them
when they wet their swollen tongues
with it.
None had ever been on the ground
before, and it was only due to the In
telligence of Montgomery's pet jack,
Sullivan, that they were saved from
suffering, if not death. Dragging
along up the valley, they were pass
