THAT eleverest of all advertising actresses
Sara Bernhardt-went hunting in the
wild and untrOdden swamps around Savan-
nah recently, and from the sensational ac-
count Of her experiences furnished the oblig-
ing Associated Press, she must have encoun-
tered every sort Of an animal known, from
a megather'um to a gyasticutus, with a
ringed tail. Among other things she had a
brief struggle, when quite alone, with a
wild boar, from which, however, both parties
escaped without serious injury. Sara must
have struck drove Of Georgia razor-backs.
They would make French woman believe
that all the monsters from NOah's Ark were

CORPORAL TANNER gives breezy de-
scription of Maj" 0'Driscoll, who is an
associate of Maj" Allen r. Foote, in the
Society OF Loyal Volunteers and who
said in recent speech in New Yord: We
arose then-in IS6I-and rescued the Ma
tion from destruction by force; now we arise
in the same patriotic spirit to rescue our
country from dishonesty Corporal Tan
ner says that Maj" O'Driseoll was a good
enough soldier, and lost his leg in the Wilder
ness while serving as a Corporal The leg,
however, seemed to have all that was good
in him. Comrade Tanner got acquainted
with him while Commissioners of Pensions
ODriscoll had been cheap sort Of a pension
attorney, and had gotten into Jail in Ohio
under the charge of having gobbled up some
500 out Of 81, 100 pension he had collected
for poor widow. he got out on bail, and
came to Washington TO get Commissioner
Tanner to relieve him of disbarment, so that
he could collect the fees on pension claims
filed by him. Tanner refused TO relieve
him, and told him frankly that he was the
meanest kind of q robber. He was after
ward tried, convicted, and sentenced to q
term of imprisonment How he got ont to
enter upon his work of reform " the Cor
pOral doesn't know.

TuE PROSECUTED wooL-GRowERs.

THE PERsECUTED wOOL-GROwERs.
The wool-growers of the United States
seem TO be a shining mark for ill-luck.
The unwise reductions made by the
tariff Of 1888 were so discOuraging to them
that the production of wool was diminished
100000 pounds within year, and the
imports Of foreign woods were increased from
81, ASH ,G30 pounds in 1881 to 1882, 6l6
pounds in 1889.
Then, in the latter year, 904926 sheep
were killed by unprecedentedly severe
Winter in the Far West.
The 5lst Congress took mercy on the
sorely-visited aockmasters and increased
the duties on foreign woods. Under this
encouragement they took fresh heart, and
the official reports show an increase of pro-
duciion Of over 100000 pounds for last
year.
Now, rs they are basking in the first
genial rays Of prosperity they have known
for years, comes the chilling announcement
Of Chairman Springer's deadly raid upon
them, which means nothing more nor less
than the total destruction Of American
wool-growing in the interest OF the sheep
ranchers Of South America aud Australia.

THIS country is now making more iron
than any in the world. If the rate of prOduc-
tion for the last half Of 1891 is kept up
through this year, the production of pig-irOn
will be about 10 600 900 tons. This will ex-
coed the production in Great Britain last
year by over 100000 tons. We have been
making more iron than Great Britain for :
number of years, and the excess of our
product has been steadily increasing. The
production in Pennsylvania decreased last
year on account Of strikes and disputes be-
tween the iron-makers and the coke, ore,
and railroad men, but Ohio and the Southern
States forged far ahead.
