The Washington bee., 1893-07-01

Tn to the first of this week all but
eighty-one Of the German constituent
cies had taken second ballots for mem
bers of the Reichstag. The returns
show utter confusion among the par
ties. The most evident fact is that
the opposition parties went to pieces
on the prejudice Of Catholic and Rad
ical voters against the Social Demo-
Gratis. The result is to strengthen the
Government and weaken Bismarck.
The power in the new Reichstag is
likely to be about evenly balanced be-
tween the Government and opposition,
but the latter is composed of so many
incongruous factions that. by certain
concessions, the Government will prob
ably carry it's army and revenue pro-
grammeS.

COWS MIXED BY FISH.
Remarkable Discovery That Averteo
Wholesale Lawsuits.

Remarkable Discovery That Averted
Wholesale Lawsuits.
The discovery that a German carp
drinks milk has averted what threat
ened to be wholesale suits for theft
at New Hope, Pa. Michael Ilernan
for several months, OF ever since the
weather grew warm, has noticed tnat
his bIooded cows return from their
luxuriant pastures with full stomachs
and empty udders. There was a sus-
picion that the cows had been MIXED
by families who reside in the neigh
borhood. This thing continued, ana
Mr.. Tiernan's dairy product reached
zero. He watched his cows, but could
not discover the milk robbers. He
finally made surprising discovery.
He was standing by the mill-race
which runs through his farm and saw
his favorite cow enjoying herself in
the water, which touched her body.
After prolonged bath the bovine
emerged from the stream. Clinging to
the animals udder was a carp that
weighed about fifteen pounds. 1t had
drunk every ounce of the cows milk.
Mr.. Tiernan says that the cows have
regularly gone to the mill-race to keep
cool, and the fish have as diligently
extracted their milk.

A Volcano in Utah.

A despatch from Green River, Utah,
says that an immense column of smoke
has been observed for several days
rising a few miles north Of Thomp-
sons Springs station, east of Green
River, on the Rio Grande Western
Railway. G. III. Hallet, a well-known
mining man, returned from that Sec
ton last week and reports that it is
caused by volcano that has just
burst forth. Owing to the smoke the
party was unable to approach closer
than a quarter of mile, but powerful
field-glasses showed break in the
formation through which the sulphur
GUS fumes were pouring.

An Impressionist Sketch.

One of the good deacons in certain
church is also the superintendent of
the Sunday school. and although he is
not an artist he frequently illustrates
points in the lesson by the use of the
blackboard. These exertions are for
the special benefit of the younger por
ton of the school, and the superintend
ent has habit of arousing the children's
interest by asking questions about what
he has drawn.
Having drawn the representation of
a crown, much after the stereotyped
style of all such royal appendages. he
said:
Now, what one of the little folks
can tell me what this is?'
Several raised their hands, but the
superintendent eye was caught by a
little fellow on the front seat.
We'll, Johnnie, you may tell. "
Proud of his distinction above his
fellows, the boy rose smilingly and

THE FIGHT FOR HOME RULE.
Darkening Prospects of Mr. Gladstone's
Bill in Parliament.

Darkening Prospects of Mr. Gladstono's
Bill in Parliament.
The prospects of home rule for Ire
land are darkening, says London
special. Almost every hour since Mr..
Gladstone presented his new financial
scheme has brought disheartening
news of wavering in the Governments
ranks, of mutinous threats or overt
defiance, Of plots for detection at de-
cisive moments, of boastfulness among
the foes and discouragement among
the friends of the Irish cause. The
promise Of the situation to-day is that
the Home Rule bill will leave the COM
mittee hardly before next Christmas,
and that it will come back to the
House of Commons mangled and
worthless measure, which neither Gov
ernment nor opposition will care to
adopt as it's own. The Irish members
are discontented with Mr.. Gladstone's
concessions, and threaten to form an
alliance with the Tories. Mr. Glad
stone has been asked to confer with
the leaders of both Irish parties to
make a final effort to avoid the wreck
of the Home Rule cause.

MADE THE SQUIRREL FAINT AWAY.
A Man Fools Bobtail With a Paper
Bag Tied by q String

A Man Fools a Bobtail With a Paper
Bag Tied by a String.
In Memphis, said Charles F. FL
mire to reporter of the St. Louis Eg-
change, there is little park called
Court Square, situated in the centre of
the city. The parkkeeper told me that
there were over 500 squirrels that made
their nests in the big, shady trees.
They afford boundless amusement to
the children and to the weary foot trav-
ellers who stop in the park to rest.
One day last week [ bought bag OF
peanuts, and while I sat down on one
of the seats eating them the squirrels
gathered around me like blackbirds
would flock to cornfeld Immediately
after planting time.
81 concluded to try an experiment.
I blew up the paper bag, tied a string
around it about six inches long, and to
the other end fastened a 'goober, and
threw it on the ground. There was an
old bobtailed squirrel-the father of
the fiock-that tackled it. He picked
up the 'goober' between his paws and
started to open the shell when he dis
covered that there was string tied to
it. Then he began to run, still hold
ing the nut between his teeth. He
jumped off about fifty feet, and turned
his head around to see if the bag and
string were still behind. They we're.
We'll, sir, you should have witnessed
the actions of that squirrel after he saw
that the bag still pursued him. Up d
tree he went; down one side and up
another. After he had chased himself
about ten minutes he stopped and sor-
ter turned his head around slow like to
see if the bag was still there. It was.
Then he started again, and of all the
running I ever saw that squirrel did it.
He moved about among the branches
and limbs like streak of lightning.
Finally, out of breath, he stopped again,
and the expression he wore on his face
seemed to indicate that he was saying
to himself: well, whatever you are,
you are not in it now; guess I've got
you But when he turned his head
around and saw that the bag and string
were right there he tainted dead away. y

Turpin's Deadly Electric Gun.

Turpin, the inventor of melinite, has
submitted to the French War Office
an electric gun alleged to be capable
of discharging $4,000 projectiles in five
minutes and to have a range of several
miles. The apparatus is comparative
ly light in weight, so that it can be
drawn by two horses and worked by
four men. The projectiles are small
shells charged with a secret chemical
preparation, spreading death for sixty
yards around. The English Govern
ment is said to be negotiating for the
purchase of the invention, though
skeptical of it's value.

Uncle Sans Money Boxes.

It seems to he pretty we'll known
that the Treasury vaults are not bur-
glar proof, and letters containing warn
ings of threatened attemps to break in
are constantly addressed to the depart
ment. They receive no attention, for
the reason. probably, that it would not
pay to break into the coin vaults. The
only practicable way of doing it would
be to tunnel under the building from
the outside. This would require large
capital. Entrance being gained, what
then? The silver lying temptingly
near could not be removed in any great
quantity on account of its weight A
ton of it would only be worth $24, 900.
The same weight of gold would amount
to half million dollars. But to get
away secretly with such a bulk of any
thing would be fairly impossible. The
thieves would have only three or four
hours start of the hue and cry, and
would be captured to a certainty.
Bank burglars are an intelligent set Of
men, and would never attempt so un-
profitable crime as robbery of the
treasury. If they did break in, they
would confine their attention to the pa.
per money. A man might carry for
tune away in this condensed shape.
But supposing he managed to secure a
generous package of labelled and num-
bered bills, how could he dispose of
them? Before he took one effective
step in the matter the government, dis
covering its loss, would have advertised
as stolen the twenty dollar notes from
number twenty thousand to number
twenty five thousand, and he must cer-
tainly be arrested while trying to pass
them. The case would have been about
the same if he had stolen twenty dollar
gold pieces. There is so little gold in
circulation that the putting out of so
much money in that shape would be
sure to excite suspicion, great rob-
berry of the national funds having been
made public. If he tried to melt up
the coins and dispose of them as bull
lion, the consequence would be the
same. There was once man who stole
silver brick from the mint in Phila-
delphia He was taking out ashes
threw the brick, which weighed about
twenty pounds. into barrel with other
refuse, and carted it away unsuspected.
The brick was missed at once, and the
thief arrested while trying to sell it in
New York. On the whole. it may be
safely asserted that it does not pay to
steal from Uncle Sam.

There were several speeches before
