A Kans B Man Who Saw Service with
 Gen. Scott in Mexico.
 There resides in Junction City @ vet eran of two wars. John Black, who until very recently endeavored to gain a livelihood on farm, now lives com fortably upon the allowance granted by the government. He was born in Ire land siXty-seven years ago, but came to this country when Q mere boy. Arriv- ing at the age of maturity he entered the regular army, serving twenty-One years in the Second dragOOns under Gen. Harney. He was in most of the battles in the Mexican war, and carried the first shell to the battery that com nenced the operations against Chapul- tepec. This act was recorded and stands tO his credit in Washington. He was Cen. Scott's orderly when the triumph ant entry was made into the City of Mexico. After the Mexican war closed Black was with his command in the Utah expedition. IIiscOmpany was the one that first visited the scene Of the Mountain Meadow massacre, where he helped to bury the bones of the unfor- tunate men, women and children who were killed by the Indians under the leadership of MormOns. He secured from thorn bush a long tress of silky, brown hair, which told Q sad story of some poor woman who there ended her journey. In 1859 he was stationed at Fort Riley, where he served six years as orderly sergeant, lis days of active field service being over. Ending Q long and honorab blc service he retired to Q farm in Riley county. His eyesight failing he has at last moved into town, where his faithful wife, who has fol- lowed him twenty years, now cares for him

Spurious Sonranirs.

Dr. Lenz, the explorer, has a warn ing for tourists at Tangier who are eager to buy Moroccan wares to carry home as mementoes, says the New York Sun. Two large bazaars arc filled with goods and kept by Jews for the tourist trade. Dr. Lenz says that most of these ar ticles are made in Paris, where the business of manufacturing oriental an- tiquities and art goods is carried on to large extent. The price asked for these spurious Moroccan wares is very high. Tourists are advised, if they de- sire to buy genuine specimens of Mo- roccan handiworll, not to visit these bazaars in company with native serv- ants for interpreters, but to take with them one of the European merchants of the town, who can prevent their be- ing imposed upon.

The number of female convicts received into the convict prisons under fresh sentences during the year ended March S1. 1891, was g, besides 9 with licenses revoked or recommitted to serve cut the period remitted from their former sen tences. The number of sentences of penal servitude passed by ordinary courts in England and Wales in 1So0- namely, 72o-was lower than in any previous year.

American Lawlessncss.

A wealthy German recently was be- moaning tho want of respect for law which he said was everywhere apparent in this country. How different it all was ID Germany! He told Q story to enforce the point of his remarks. As Q lad in Berlin he was apprentice to Q tailor. Ono of his duties was to go to the apartments of the young bloods" of Berlin every week or two, so that he might fetch their trousers to the tail Or's shop. There he, with other of the apprentices, searched the Things for coins which they well knew would be there, for they had deftly made open ings in the pockets through which they would f2n. There was a quarrel, and exposure came. Then followed prose cution, and the imprisonment of two of the apprentices. We'll it effectually stopped the offering; the apprentices scwed up all the holes, and the young bloods' never had any of their coins stolen afterward. If any were found in the trousers they were returned. Here, this wealthy German said, To amount of imprisonment has the least effect in stopping peculatiOn.

MRS. MALAPROP.
A Society Woman at the Capital Who Is Credited with Some Unique Sayings.

A Society Woman at the Capital Who Is
 Credited with Some Unique Sayings.
 Washington society, like every other society, has it's Mrs. Malapron, . good lady who has said several good things of an inappropriate kind and gets the credit at the clubs and dinner parties of having said ten times as many, says the Boston Herald. The Mrs. 1Ialaprop of Washington is one of the new-rich who have revolutionizedt the architecture and the society Of Washington.
 The smart" society people go to their beautiful house, eat their delicious terrapin, drink their perfect champagne and get off witty remarks about them if possible quoting them or pretending to, so as to make them ridiculous-all of which, need not say, is considered quite good etiquette, even if it is not good manners.
 We'll, Mrs. Malaprop has climbed up on her husbands bank account through the usual ways into ''society," and while she gets along very well occa- sionally lapses q little in conversation, the lapses being carefully recorded by her dear new friends.
 To the daughters of one of the most distinguished diplomats she is reported to have said: T an so glad to meet you. I have been hearing you spoken of so much as the pretty Miss Legation, the clever Miss Legation. Do tell me which of you is the pretty one and which is the clever one"
 Again to a famous army officer and his wife, who were tellinr how much they had enjoyed her dinner party, she cheerily said: II thought you would like to meet some nice people,"
 Being presented to plainly dressed woman whose name she did not catch she said in the course of conversation that Washington was Q delightful city for people in moderate circumstances. ''There are so many pretty little houses such as you, madam, might find suita- ble," she said, addressing, unwittingly, one of the richest of the old residents, whose fine house on Lafayette square is almost historical, and who had the tact and kindness not to set her right.
 Perhaps Mrs. Malaprops most famous speech is of as late date as last spring, just before she went abroad. Coming down to meet a morning caller in her wrapper Mrs. Malaprop said, sweetly: You really must excuse me for coming down in my nom de plume, but have been busy packing all the morning.

Flowing wit!l Drna,nlte.

Sub-soil blowing with dynamite is one-of the new methods in the south and it is said to be equal to the process of trenching used by market gardeners to loosen the earth to depth Of two CT three feet and allow the absorption of a good deal of water for sustaining vcge- tation during a drought. The inventor drills holes two or three feet deep and five feet apart, making sixteen hundred to the acre. In each he puts an ex- plosive, and, after taEPing, discharges 1t, the whole number being connected with a wire leading to a battery. In a recent experiment the explosive used was one-fourth Of Q smalI-sized dyna- mite cartridge, with about an ounce of JudsOn powder. The surface of the ground appeared to be lifted two or three feet, a few small clCds being thrown up to the height of q house. It was broken to the depth of thirty inch es at the points of the explosion and sideUise for a part of the distance be- tween the holes.

WITH LOCKED AMTLERs.
How Q Desperate Battle Between Bucks
 Came to an End.


 A surveying party working for tic Bear Valley Company up Willard B canyon were lately treated to a sigiit which seldom comes to men in this cen, ter of civilization, says the Banning (Cal) Herald.
 The men were working up the canyon about mile above the Willard hoEsc when they heard peculiar crasliCg noise. Looking up. they saw on ;hc cliffs high above the stream and abouS a quarter of a mile from them two noble bucks standing with heads lowered about ten feet from each other. Thus they stood, eyeing each other and paving the dirt for fully a minute. Then they made a s.nulta- neous spring and came together with Q noise like 6 falling tree. So violent was the cOncussion that the animals were thrown back until a distance Of ten CT fifteen feet again intervened be- tween them. The mon, fascinated with the sight, watched the deer go through the same performance again and again.
 Finally, after 6 more than usually violent rush, the bucks did not sepa- rate, but struggled as if apparently trying to push each other back. It soon became plain to the men, how ever, th2t instead of pushing they were pulling away from each other. In other words, their horns had become locked, and from raging combatants the bucks became frightened animals and were only bent upon securing Q divorce. 1Icssrs. Ross, Pollock and party then conceived the idea Of taking advantage Of the helpless condition of the bucks and capturing them. They made 9 great rush for the scene, but before they reached 1t the deer in their struggles approached too near the edge of the cliff and both of them fell to their death in the pool below. When the party reached the water the deer were found locked in each others horns, quite dead.
 The gentlemen thought to skin the deer and bring in the hides to lend an air of authenticity to the tale, but the law is so strict as to having in your possession the hide of newly-deceased deer, no matter whether the deer dies Of la grippe, commits suicide or falls out of a balloon, that they forbore.

ANY DOG III A PINCH.

How an Express Messenger Replaced a
 Lost Caarge.
 A handsome spaniel, which bore the marks of choice breeding, was tucked away among the mass of express mat ter in an American Express Company's car which was attached to Central Hudson train a few mornings ago, says the Rochester Democrat. The dog was on his way from Toronto to New York, and was intended as 8 present to a gen tleman in the metropolis. A silver col lar encirclcd his neck. Tho dog was a bright, intelligent fellow and had been made general pet by the express mes scngcrs along the line.
 When the train reached this city the messenger in charge Of the car united the spaniel to allow him to cat his breakfast. Several of the station eln- ployes were admiring the dog as he was devOuring Q piece of steak from the restaurant, when suddenly the animal bounded over Q pile of packages, out through the open door, and was gone before the surprised messenger could realize what had happened.
 The dog was properly billed, and vis- ions of an immediate discharge from service fitted through the messengcr's brain should he fail to hand over the dog in New York. A search was use- less, as the train was to leave within five minutes, and tho spaniel was rev cling in liberty among the plebcian CUTS in the street.
 Suddenly an inspiration struck the messenger, and running out to the hack stand in front of the station he looked quickly up and down tEo street. A for lorn-looking eur, with his tail between his legs, was in the act of purloining a meal from an adjacent garbage barrel. He gave quick yelp Gs the messenger grabbed him up, and two minutes later was crouching in 9 corner of the ex- press ear with the company's tag adorning lis mangy hide.
 The outcome of the story is still un- known, but it is likely that the New York man considers himself the victim of a practical jollo on the part Of his Toronto friend.

this is so. Truly "He that provideth not

inidel." But, "He," the individual,
should, by his own exertions, provide.

hold at the expense OF the household of
the workingman. No one pretends that
protection does not benefit the manufac-
turer; and there is small blame that hui
man nature should try to secure that
benefit. But the HERALD does believe
that it is silly Of the laborer, who is not
protected, whose labor is secured as
cheaply as the manufacturer can secure
it. to vote for the party that is making
living dearer and men cheaper.
