Occasion FauIHeSSly.

On Thursday April the 21st Messrs
Geo. n. Wood, D. D. Conway and the
writer went to Marshfeld for the
purpose of taking part in the reception
and dance given by the bachelors Of
that city. This was our first introduction
into the social circles of that thriving
and promising young city, and we
sincerely hope it is not the last oppor-
tunity we shall have, for we We're Sc
well cared for that we were truly mad,
10 feel that We were welcome. Then
large opera house was brilliant with 1
profusion of electric lights and
claborately decorated with Chinese
lanterns, evergreens, red, white and
blue bunting, house plants in bloom
and a beautiful rustic fountain occupied
the center Of the ball room. The large
company of about three hundred guests
IN full dress, with such pleasing
surroundings, gave the impression OF
stately reception of no mean
proportions; yet it was free from any
arstocratic GOODNESS usually noticeable
on state occasions. The "Bachelors'
had invited their friends there for a
good time and insisted upon their
having it. Airon's orchestra, OF
Oshkosh, consisting of ten pieces
furnished the music to the delight and
satisfaction of all. The refreshments
were served in the gallery and were in
keeping with other parts of the
entertainment. Guests were there.

FOOLISH CONVICTS.

No little excitement was created in
one OF the London metropolitan pc
lice courts the other day by the dis
graceful behavior of a man who on
being sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment for swindling, looked at
the judges for a moment. and then
shouted at the top of his voice: You
are q set Of donkeysw Then and there
he was condemned to an additional
two years imprisonment for grossly
insulting the bench" 1t might have
been imagined that the punishment
with which his outrageous conduct
had been visited would have deferred
any one who might have felt inclined
to follow his bad example from doing
SO but strangely enough the next pris-
oner who was brought forward acted
in precisely the same way Senten-
ced to months Imprisonment as a
rogue and vagabond' he cried out
justify, won are a lot Of scouudrels"
and, like his predecessor, viii prolong
his sojourn to jail for the space of two
years.

HATRED FOR THE GERMANS.

VIENNA, Nov. II. There was an ex
cited discussion in the lower house 81
the Rtichsrath to-day on an incident
that occurred q few days since in Pra-
que, Bohemia, which illustrates the
racial hatred Of the Czechs for the

and when questioned regarding his

caused him to lose control Of his

THE OLD SAYINGS.

The expression, putting one foot
in it is by no means elegant. bat so
expressive that sometimes nothing
else can take its place. 1t also has an
amusing historical origin. When the
title to land Is disputed in Hindoostan.
TWO holes are dug in the ground. and
one leg of each Of the lawyers Of the
rival claimants is buried therein. In
this awkward position the dusky legal
champions fall to arguing. and the
one who tires first loses his clients
case. Thus. in very humiliating
sense, bo.h the losing itigant and the
defeated lawyer have put foot in ii. >
The expression ''topsy-turvy original
ed in an odd way When turf is used
for fuel it is laid ont to dry with the
upper side down. Thus arose the
( phrase 'top-side-turf- way" pronounc
ed 'topsy turvey" and meaning up
side down"

Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwe
gian Apostle of Peace, is one of the
most combative Of men. One would
think that he must have been meant
for a warrior; his head, his figure are
those Of a chieftain. When his gray
eyes flash under iutting brows, and
his bushy hair looks bewildered, as If
startled by some earthquake of pas
sions beneath, then, with his neither
lip slightly pouting and his broad
shoulders drawn, he makes one think
OF some old Morse Viking bent on bat
tie and ready FOR the fray
But Mother Nature seems to have
made sport Of this her gifted child
Carefully has she equipped him fol
combat, and carefully has she planted

in the rearing of new varieties OF

SUICIDE OF CATTLE.

Everybody knows Charlie Duchet,
who IS q typical Western character.
He knows every inch Of ground be-
tween the Navajo reservation and has
had hairbreadth escapes by the dozen.
He returned yesterday from a trip TO
the MogOllones and had quite q rough
time. He left Fort Mcdowell and
went up the Verde. sand through
quicksand, high water, and other draw
backs, WAS three and a half days with
ont food. himself and horse, and tray
eled III t. At time eighty-three miles.
He reports a terrible condition Of
affairs in the ranges Of that section
1t is dryer than ever before known,
and cattle are perishing by hundreds.
At one place he was in box canyon
aud observed that cattle which came
to drink We're 50 weak and exhausted
that on coming TO the creek they fell
into the water. some Of them drown
ing, and others drinking so much they
could not walk.
The country is utterly barren Of
feed, and cattle walk lowing over the
mesas, cropping brush and anything
that bears signs Of vegetable life Mr.
Duchet was near a cliff at least 800
feet high over the Verde, on Murray's
ranch, and saw a cow walking slowly
toward the edge. He expected to see
1t stop at q reasonable distance. but
instead, without Stacking its pace
it walked right over the edge, striking
tTo or three times in the precipitous
descent, and landing mangled and
dead. It was as clear a case Of sui
eide as ever occurred Other cattle
nave been known to walk INTO quick
sand and allow themselves to besmoth-
cred.

HE WAS ONLY THE FATHER.

her hands and lap more than full.
Everyone in the car tried throughout
the day to do what they could to allie

gentleman played with the not too in
viting 2year old, and a commercial
traveller kept the wiggling and inquis-

stories Of his own boys at home. Dain-
ty ladies opened we'll stocked travel

the little brood, and the travelling pub
lie seemed disposed to show its utmost
hindliness to the over burdened wo
man. The only person who showed
no interest was an insignificant snub
nOsed little man who sat in the back
OF the car and read newspapers. At
last bedtime came and the porter
made up a couple Of sections in which
the tired mother might bestow her
offspring. When they were safely
settled the passengers were rendered
almost speechless by the conduct Of
the snub-nosed man who skulked
down the aisle and crawled into the
berth where the woman was hushing
wailing child. When it dawned
upon them that he was the husband
and father OF their proteges it took all
the persuasion of the cooler headed to
prevent an immediate mobbing.

TAME GEESE IN THE LAKE

When the streamer Preston was

yesterday afternoon, the first mate
sighted flock Of white tame geese.
There We're twenty-five or thirty geese
in the flock. 1t Is supposed that the
flock was part Of the couple of car
loads of geese thGt we're released at
the North Western freight yards the
night OF the Third ward fire. It is
presumed that when they were re-
leased, the flames were close upon
them, and that they took to the water

The politest man in New Jersey
cam to grief because of his polite
ness at Newark, n. j., on Saturday.
He was seized with a desire to sneeze
while riding in an electric car. On
each side Of him there was woman,
and he felt that it would be impolite
to sneeze in front of them, and so he
decided to sneeze behind them, and
with this purpose in view he thrust his
head from the car window. While
he was in the act Of sneezing his head
came in contact with pole" his
skull was dangerously fractured.
