LETTER FROM NORTH DAKOTA,

Cooperstown, North Dakota, Aug. IA, 1S93
 On the 7th the thermometer showed I04 ill the shade, and on the nights of the 10th and 11th it was near the frost line. In June, from the 17th to the 22d, the heat was very oppressive. Riding out on the prairies nine miles, on the afternoon of the 18th of June, air waves hot enough to burn the flesh were encountered. At intervals the past two months we have experienced the days when the heat has been intense. This, mark you, in this country, where the cold registered last winter as low as sixty below the zero point.
 In well, somewhere between twenty and twenty-five feet deep, which is curb ed, which we use, and many others in the town, because it is so cold, and good wa ter, there was considerable ice still on the sides of the curbing few feet down, which had formed from drippings last winter, as late as June 23d.
 Not far away is another we'll about the same depth which was supposed to be dry; but an examination of it a few days ago disclosed the fact that what was SUD- posed to be the bottom is thick cake of ice with considerable depth of water be- heath it. The ice is but twelve or four

New York Tribune: "The Tribune'' most sincerely desires to see all business revive again and all industries thrive, whether congress does this or that thing, or nothing. The best way to give busi- ness a chance to revive is surely not to assume that it must suffer complete pa- ralysis unless congress passes particular act. 1t is the truth, men must admit, that the repeal of the silver purchasing provision cannot now be expected to pro- duce such prices, such activity, or such confidence as might have followed it's re- peal before hundred of banks and several thousand firms had failed, and before many thousand men had been scattered from their accustomed employments One reason is that other causes besides the uncertainty about silver are in opera tion, with increasing force as the time for congressional action draws nearer. But, in spite of any one cause or all causes, something like seven -eighths of the form CT business is still transacted through clearing houses, something like nineteen twentieths of the former business is rep- resented in earnings of railroads, and of the productive labor of the country a large proportion is still at work earning good wages, and expending them in the ordinary purchases of necessaries and comforts. He who hunts for s'complete paralysis" in this country will hunt a long while.

DESCRIPTION OF MARKINGS ON
 A HORSE.


 Such horsemen as Colonels Bingaman, Kenner, Elliott, Peyten and their associ- ate turfman would have thought the new style of describing the markings of horses ludicrous, and if lucky Jos. Boswell had read as did, just now, in very popular turf journal, that Lexington had four white legs" nobody but his most familiar friends could imagine his disgust, says B. G. Thomas.
 My education may be all wrong, but all the turfman I have most admired, includ- ing my father, have taught me, when I was a little fellow, the following lessons about marks:
 A white spot on the forehead is star
 A white face from eye to eye is is a bald face.
 A white strip in the face is blaze.
 A strip between the nostrils is snip.
 A white eye is glass eye,
 A horse has pasterns, not ankles, and there is no such joint as hind knee or fore shoulder.
 The left side of the horse is the near side, and the right side is the off side, but for heavens sake don't understand me to say your left or right side if you stand in front of the horse.
 White below the pastern joint is a white pastern. Above the pastern is a white leg.
 White around the top of the hoof is white coronet.
 A star, blaze or bald face can't be any where except on the face. A snip can't be anywhere except on the nose.
 According to my instruction an accu- rate description of Lexington would be: Bay, with star, broad snip, both front and near hind pasterns and off hind leg white, for such is his portl ait, painted by Trope for Ten Brock, now before me, and also as I remember him we'll. Whenever I hear about scar on the right fore shoul- der, scar on the left hind hip, a swelling on the right hind knee, rearing up in front and kicking up behind, get away as quickly as possible.

Colonel B., well known gentleman, had been sick in Washington for some days, and the local reporters had made daily inquiries concerning him after the first announcement. One day reporter for an evening paper called at the hotel to inquire.
 "How's Colonel B. ?" he asked of tho clerk.
 "The colonel has gone to the spirit land," was the reply.
 The reporter made note of it.
 The next mornings paper had an ac- count of his death at noon the day before.
 "How's this ?" said the city editor to the reporter. "You didn't get anything about Colonel B. in yesterday evenings paper." ....
 tYes, did," replied the innocent re- porter as he hunted up the item. "Herc it is."
 The city editor looked 1t over and swore. The item read as follows:
 "Colonel B., who has been quite sick for several days at the Blank hotel, has recovered sufficiently to go to Kentucky" -DetroSt Free Press

Method of drawing seats in congress Members who have served during fifteen congresses are permitted to select their seats in advance of the general drawing. Then a boy who has been blindfolded draws colored marbles from box. As each marble is drawn, it's number is an- nounced and the name of the member whose name it is upon the alphabetical list is called and he selects his seat. The method is perfectly fair, and if any mem- Der whose number is called too late to en- able him to select the seat he prefers can induce another man to exchange desks with him he has that privilege.

Whatever may be the result of the long discussion as to the comparative mental capacity of men and women, there is no doubt that some things are most readily apprehended by the feminine mind.
 Little boy-"What's all those women here for?"
 Little girl-'"They've been up stairs to see the baby"
 Little boy-"Babies is plenty enough" ]" Little girl-"Yes; but this is a real new one, an guess they want to see the style"

"Run, rabbit, run," cried man to an old hare dog was chasing. The rabbit turned and said: ''I do not need any en- couraging to do my best, but if you will discourage that dog you will do me ser vice." Is not too much of our preaching mere praise of things that are good, while we forget to speak out against wrong doers and evil-doing2 Of course, it is easy enough to denounce Mormonism and the Mormons, but it may be better to speak out about things nearer home.

The department of state at Washington has just received from B. F. Stevens of the United States dispatch agency at London an account of historical electrical apparatus once owned by Franklin, which he has recently unearthed in that city
 Among other things, MT. Stevens says, he has found that Franklin during his last sojourn in England made an electric light, and that he could produce from it with his primitive appliances sufficient electric light to read by. This antedates the achievement of Edison by more than 100 years.
 The lamp is in good state of preserva- tion, and has recently been tested by the owners gentleman residing near London, who finds that it works as satisfactorily now as when Franklin himself experi- mented with it. It is curiosity of great value and importance in illustrating the history of electric lighting It is by no means the arc light or the incandescent lamp of modern times. It's principle, however, is that of the arc light without carbon points, this device--which was in- vented by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1s13- first demonstrating the practicability of electric lighting. The total length of the cylinder, within which the light is pro- duced, is about 12 inches and the diame- ter three inches. Each end Is provided with attachments for connecting it ,Tith the positive and negative poles of the ma chine, which, it should be remembered, was the only means of generating elec- tricity with which men were then familiar. | The electric light in this rude but in genious device was produced by the leap ing of the intercepted current from the ball to the metallic point. The ends of the tube are partly closed, undoubtedly for the same reason that the globes of the arc light are closed at present, and the | light given off is brilliant and steady. The machine with which Franklin gen. I erated the electricity for this novel ex- pertinent is turned by crank, grind-stone like, and was the most powerful and complete in construction of any electrical machine of that day. This crank turns a ponderous cylinder of glass, which is rubbed by brushes with silk covers. These brushes convey the electricity col lected from the cylinder to the positive and negative conductors, supported on large glass pillars, where it can be used for purposes of experiment..
