court mandate was served upon the judges
of the state court last Tuesday. He says
he is impelled to this action by the earn
est solicitation of leading men of the
state. His attorneys will base their argu-
ment on the theory that the United States
supreme court decision merely overruled
the demurrer of Governor Thayer to Gov
ernor Boyd's answer, therefore it is only
necessary for reply to be filed to Boyd's
answer, which ayerred upon information
and belief that Joseph Boyd, father of
James E. Boyd, had completed his natural
ization in 1854 at time when James E.
Boyd was minor, and alleging further
that James E. Boyd had for many years
been a citizen of the United States within
the meaning of the law and of congress.

Democratic Party May split on silver


NEW York, March lS.-The Washington
City correspondent of the Herald has sent
his paper story in which he raises the
question as to whether there may not be
two Democratic candidates this year. The
writer thinks, and says that others think,
that 1t is not unlikely, owing to the differ
enees on silver and the tariff. The dis
patch runs on in this way:
The gentlemen in favor of this policy, whose
Judgment will give intelligent direction to the
movement and whose private wealth will fur
nish, to a great extent, the sinews of war, are
terribly in earnest regarding this matter. Dur
ing the interim between now and the meeting
of the national convention at Chicago, the prop
osition will be quietly discussed among them,
and letters and circulars will be sent out TO
the sound money Democrats, particularly in
the New England and the Middle and Western
states, inviting cooperation with the movement
in the event that by the action of the Chicago
convention it shall become necessary.

attacked on the theory of United States
Entomologist Riley that the louise win

advanced and the hop vines were develop

from the eggs laid by the stem louise flew
/. to the vines and began their work of de-
struction.

Catching a Prairie Volt.

One cold, windy day party OF lively
young fellows driving across the prairie
saw a prairie wolf making a meal from
dead horse. Bill Burns offered 10 bet
ten to five he could catch the wolf and
the bet was taken. Bill directed the drl-
yer to gel as close as possible under COW
er of low ridge some three hundred
wards from the wolf. With the wagon
concealed BY the ridge and the wind IN
his favor, Burns began TO crawl through
the kuee-high dead grass. which was
nearly the color of his canvass coat aud
old felt hat. The horse lay with its back
toward Burns and as il was frozen the
wolf was eating from the inside of the
carcass, going almost his whole length
into hole eaten in the horses abdomen.
He would go in and snatch Il moulhful
or two; and then quickly back out and
look around. 1t was evident that he
considered eternal vigilance the price of
liberty" Each time the wolf went III
Burns crawled rapidly toward it, lying
fat in the grass whenever the wolf came
nut. In half an hour he had got within
few feet of the wolf and, watching for
favorable moment, rose to his feet,
Jumped over the horse, and caught the
wolf by the hind legs. To the spectators
it did not look, as though Burns had
more than touched the wolf when it was
rods away, and went off with such Il
grand burst of speed that one of the boys
declared he could hear it whizz long after
it was out of sight. Although Burns
held the wolf but an instant he was Sc
vereIy bitten on both arms and on one
leg. His opponent claimed the stakes
because Burns did not hold the wolf, but
Burns said he did not agree to hold it,
but to catch it; that he did not intend
to hold it long enough for it to bite him,
but found he could not let go quick
enough. The bet was decided in Burns
favor

One of the most wonderful pieces Of
mechanical work ever undertaken by hui
man hands has just been completed
abroad. The celebrated landmark Of
Venice the lion of San Marco, has dur
ing the past three months been greatly
missed from the top Of the mighty col
umn of the Marcus place by strangers
visiting the City of Lagoons. Last year
when an examination of it was made, it
was found that the statue had fallen into
more than fifty pieces, which were liable
to come down at any moment. This dis
covery gave rise to desire OF the part
of some of the city fathers to transfer the
original lion to the Civil museum and to
make for the column an exact copy Of
the historical monument.
But the Venetans were rongly OPP
posed to this, and argued that the origi-
nal lion should remain in lis place
Chcreupon Signor Luigi Vendrasco de-
vised plan To repair the damaged mon
ster. With infinite labor and care the
decayed statue was lowered to the ground
and its fragments carried to the arsenal.
The experiment by which it was thought
the loose pieces could be reunited by a
smelling process proyci Il failure. Clio
vami Bonlempi, one Of the finest me-
chancs of Venice, was called in, and re-
solved to repair the fallen hero BY weld
ing the pieces together in the presence of
several of the municipal officers
More than $50 screws were used to re
unite the separated pieces Of metal, and
the cracks and interstices were filled out
with an inside lining OF bronze This
difficult piece Of work was brought to a
happy close with marvellous skill. No
thing can be seen Of the repairs external
ly, and as Of old the lion of San Marco
bids the stranger welcome as he enters
the beautiful City of the Doges.
