court yesterday afternoon decided that

to whether the board of canvassers had
the right to reconvene or be reconvened
by order OF the court to canvass amended

county case, where there was tie and
the certificate was awarded the repub-
lican, who won by the drawing.
In the jackson county case the court
had previously rendered a decision in
favor OF the republican member, hold.
ing that it was clearly the intention of
the legislature to include Holton in the
district and in Republic county it was
held that the misprint of the number
OF the district did not invalidate the

eirafies as Well as Men Fight for su.
premacy.
TIL re is great deal Of human ma.
ture in a giraffe-in his native state.
The old fellows insist on ruling their
herds as long as possible and never give
it up until the young ones whip them
out, and as the weak ones are whipped
out in the start the result is that each
boss giraffe is polygamist on a large
scale This leads to savage fights, and
as the hunters penetrate into South
Africa they occasionally witness these
duels. An English hunter gives this
account of such combat between an
old and young giraffe witnessed by
him from an adjacent thicket:
Presently the belligerents came with
in few yards Of each other Then
commenced a scene that baffied all de-
Scription. Some people might call 1t
ludicrous, it was far more, it was side
splitting, and but for my desire to see
the end must have given away to con-
WILSON'S Of laughter Although the
giraffe possesses a certain beauty when
at rest it loses its grace when in motion,
and the greater its speed the more I'M
calmly does it appear. But when two
mature bulls begin to wastze and dance
violently around each other, each en-
deavoring to Guido the other in agility,
at the same time mumbling their jaws
and emitting fearfully discordant roars,
it is certainly one of the most absurd
sights human eye ever looked upon. !
have often seen crane dance-a func-
ton common enough north of the Vaal
river. 1t is more than funny-it is
ridiculous; but it cannot for an instant
be compared to the antics Of these two
mammoth brutes.
They began rearing as If to bear each
other down, their mouths all the time
open to grip If opportunity occurred.
At length the violent exercise began to
tell upon the older beast; he made some
mistake in a parry, and the younger
seized with his teeth the foot OF the
veteran, who in turn laid hold Of his
opponents ear. For some moments
there was pause. 1t was very brief,
and then the struggle renewed With
a gigantic effort the young giraffe
threw the old hero upon his launches
He looked very much as if he had
played his last card, but there was
pluck in his aged heart yet, though
the battle was not for him; years
told against him, and victory lay
with the youngster, who celebrated It
by trying to drag the vanquished after
him. This operation must have been
painful, for the shrieks that the de-
feated warrior uttered were heartrend-
ing. After a final worry the hero OF
the hour walked of, mobbed the two
harems Of ladies together, and, willing
ly followed by all, took the lead Not
ono Of the zenana Of the fallen chief
turned head for an instant to see what
had become of him.
After such a defeat the old fellow

and dies alone.-London Graphic.
