coREA AGAIN IN TROUBLE.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Central News correspondent at Tokio telegraphs as fol lows: The Corean governme n t has broken it's promises to follow the advice of Count Inonye, Japanes minister at Seoul, regard- ing internal reforms. After appearing to comply with Count Inonye's snggeslions, the government sent secret messengers through the country for the purpose of ex- citing risings among the natives. Gouat Inonye thereupon informed the Corean for- eign office thatthe advice he had previously presented had been revoked and caused to be recalled the troops that had been seat to suppress uprisings. Discovery of under hand dealings on the part Of the authorities has caused a disturbance at the palace of the minister Of the interior, who has ten- dered his resignation.

 MARION, Dec. Especial Correspond ence. l-Tbe Marion hifles will soon be the crack company in the Alabama state troops. At their last regular meering they elected W. J. Walden captain. Perhaps no officer in the state service has won for. himself anu men greater laures than Captain Walden, while in command of the Pelham Guards for the past SIX years, aud only nls removal of residence could make him sever his con nec;ions with them.
 The regular army officers who have at various times been stationed with the Ala bama state troops have paid Captain Walden the hi hest com plimeuts as 10 his ability anu knowledge of military science, and though offered the colone cy of the fhiri regiment various times, he prefers to cast his lot with the line fficers and help build up the standard of our stale troops and place them apove those of any other state.

EnameIing Cast Iron.

1t is noted as a somewhat singular
fact that there are not more than two
processes for enameling cast iron, not
withstanding the amount of ingenious
effort put forth in this direction. One
of these is the hot process, in which the
iron, heated to a vivid red, is powdered
with fux powder, borosilicate of lead
distributed with sieve, then heated,
and when the fux fuses it is powdered
afresh with glass more soluble, forming
the glaze of the enamel, but this opera
ton is attended with danger and is not
adapted to large articles or for decora-
ton. The second process, which meets
the objections named, consists i'll dress
ing or coating the article first with mag
netic oxide, then dipping it in borosili-
Gates of lead, colored by metallic oxides,
to which is added a little pipe clay, in
order to give rather more body. The
article thus covered cold, by dipping or
with brushes, is put into the furnace,
the enamel adhering and vitrifying at
the usual furnace temperature used by
enamelers, and by putting coating of
colored enamel with a brush ON first
coat simply plain it is possible to make
any decorations desired, which may be
burnt in at one operation for outdoor
vases, etc.--New York Sun.

The COWBOY and the FOLDING bed.

A cowboy up from the Texas panhan-

the clerk who attended to him is still in
Denver we will allow him to tell the
story in his own way: HE h%d ON

what he didn't know wasn't worth
knowing When he started up to his
room at night, / told him there was n
folding bed in it, and, If hewished, the
bellboy would show him how it worked.
But not much. He didn' want to be
shown anything. He knew thing or
two about the city, he did, even if he
did live down on the range.

he paid his bill without word and

They Are Posted by the Flock or Herd to
Guard Against Surprise.
The too eager sportsman is often
baked of a shot by the watchful senti-
mel posted to guard the flock or the herd
against surprise. Posting sentry is
the most universal of the instincts which
use organization as means of defense.
Chamois, ibex and other mountain an
telopes always post sentinel. Always
when herd of seals is sleeping on the
rocks there is watcher. This instinct,
The Spectator informs us, survives even
in animal captivity.
when the prairie dogs at the zoo
occupied a small paddock, they always
kept sentinel ON duty, although he
seldom uttered his warning whistle,
having learned probably that the visit
ors would not come inside the ratings
The prairie dogs at the Jardin d'Accli-
matisation Of Paris observe the same
precaution. :" AS is we'll known, wild
geese are particularly wary in this re-
spect Mr.. st. John says that they

manner when feeding or roosting as
to defy all danger. When q flock OF

sown grain to feed in, before alighting

Long EARNS Maine.

Maine probably has many oddlyshap-
ed farms, but we doubt if one can BIO
found more peculiar in form than that
in the east part of Dexter, formerly
owned by tho pioneer blacksmith Eli
jah w. Sprague. This was eight rods
wide and half mile long, with the
highway cutting it at right angles into
unequal portions. The inconvenience Of
so narrow farm, with pasturage and
woodland at one end, is obvious to any
one, but in this form it has continued
from the days of the forefathers to the
present time, in use as farm all the
time A farm only 20 rods wide and
about half mile long was in use a
great many years near Pennington Falls
and may be SO used yet for all the writ
er knows, but the Dexter farm beats it
by nearly two-thirds for narrowness
and general oddity. Farms of this shape
are numerous in Canada. Lewiston

Queer Freak of Memory.

The French scientist, Ribot, in his
work ON Diseases of the Memory tells
of a man 30 years of age, of considera-
BILE learning and requirements, who
was found at the termination of Sc
we're illness to have lost the recollection
of everything, even the names of the
most common objects
AS soon as his health was restored he
began to acquire knowledge like child.
After learning the names of objects he
was taught to read, and after this be-
gan to learn Latin. He made considera-
BILE progress when one day i'll reading
his lesson with his brother, who was his
teacher, he suddenly stopped and put
his hand to his head.
"What is the matter? Don't you feel
well?n asked his brother.

head" he replied, land now it seems
to me knew all this before.
Strange to say, from that time he
rapidly recovered his faculties and could
never understand how it had been nee
essary to teach him reading and writing
when he was 80 years of age and pro-
ficient i'll both.

ioririn OF ths nrenhnden industry.

Mr.. Robert f. Walsh, in The Popu-
lar Science Monthly, thus recalls the
origin of the present menhaden indus
try: "It was in 1850 when an old lady,
Mrs. John Bartlett of Bluehill, Me-,
boiling some fish for her chickens, OBJ
served q thin scum of oil upon the sur
face of tho water Some of this she bot
tied, and when on visit to Boston soon
after carried samples to leading oil
merchant who encouraged her to bring
more. The following year the Bartlett
family industriously applied their gill
nets and sent to market 10 barrels of
oil, for which they were paid at the
rate of $11 per barrel. In the following
year this family made 100 barrels.
Then, the value of menhaden oil hay
ing become recognized, many oil presses
of more or less imperfect construc-
tion-were established along tho coast,
and the industry developed so rapidly
that within 40 years the yield of men
baden oil exceeded that of the whale
from the American fisheries.

that thoroughfare toward Water street.
The fellow was in rather SPORTY"
mood, evidently, for when he saw cat
in the middle Of the street, he picked up
a bowlder aud hit the cat, killing it. A
German shoemaker lives not far from
the scene, and he was In the shop and
saw the inhuman act. The shoemaker
sailed from mis- shop with his hammer in
mis- hand. He advanced TO the negro, who
was still inspecting the dead cat, and
asked him if he had murdered the ami
NAL. The ColOred man said he had not,
and when the shoemaker turned around
be saw the fellow who had killed puss
making a Sprinting record down the
street. With his hammer in hand, the
German gave chase, aDd at every step
uttered 8 veil. He cried murder, "
''catch the thief" and many other
things. BY this time the people in that
locality were aroused, and fully sixty Of
them gave chase, it is said. The man
with the hammer was in the van, and
he yelled as Justify as ever. An officer

man done?" The shoemaker, brandish-

a peal of laughter, and the negro who
thought he was to be killed right there,
was released The crowd dispersed,
and the man with the hammer went to
his shop, and began peggiDg away,

It was about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning when the great cooking main
below Benwood Junction was finished.
There had been nearly continuous fight
ing from 10 o'clock the night before.
The fights were all long ones, averaging
nearly an hour each. On the whole the
main was pronounced the best ever seen
ia this locality. The result was vic
tory for the Bellaire fowls, for In the
regular main of five fight the Bellaire
birds won three, and the Wheeling
games the other two. 1t was a
little before 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when the last fight, the shake"
came of. 1t was pronounced the best
of the series OF fight. The Wheeling
chicken weighed about seven pounds
and four ounces, and the Bellaire fowl
was about seven ounces heavier. On
this fight there was purse of $50, and
il is said about $500 changed hands on
It. The Wheeling game Won this tight
with ease, and by this victory the. birds
OF this city in the entire main were not
far behind those from Ohio. Wheeling
sports lost considerable money on the
fights, however Arrangements will be
made to have another main before long
