A Phrase That Will Not Die.

It is impossible to eliminate the phrase
funeral obsequies' from the news
papers. For years orders have been is
sued against it in newspaper Offices;
proofreaders have been dubbed for let
ting it pass; reporters have been fined
and discharged for writing it, but all to
no purpose. It seems to be essential to
newspaper literature. Still, we shall
keep up a vigorous warfare upon the
stupidity.-New York Advertiser.

Sturgeon as q Milkm an.

Rev. Newman Hall saw a cart with Mr..
Spurxeon's name painted on it-"Charles
Haddon Spurgeon, cowkeeper." He told
Mr.. Hall that he sold the best milk to his
neighbors at a fair and good price, devotr
ing the profits to the support of two elderly
ladies' who had no idea whence the month
" check came. He quite chuckled at the
thought of their ignorance of the method
in which their wants were supplied.

A Monster Owl Killed In the Catskills.
Henry E. Mckenzie of Port Even
came up the U. and D. railroad as far as
Olive Branch for the purpose of shoot
ing game. While out in the woods near
Browns Station large bird flew over
his head. Mckenzie fired and succeeded
in injuring one of his wings. causing it
to drop in woods near by. He quickly
ran to where it fell for the purpose of
securing it. When he reached the spot,
he made all attempt to get it., but it
sprang at him in such furious manner
as to cause him some alarm and great
deal of anxiety as to his personal safety.
With the aid of his companion, Ed
ward Davis Of Olive. and long pole
they succeeded in turning the bird on
it's back and tying its feet with piece
of rope, thus rendering it helpless and
safe to carry. It turned out to be a great
owl, q bird rarely seen outside of British
America, it's natural habitation. Its
wing measurement is feet, it stands
nearly q feet high and has head about
10 inches in circumference, surlnOunted
in two large horns. The only injury
done the bird was slight wound about
the left wing, and it was taken to Port
Even by Mr.. Mckenzie, where he has it
on exhibition. Many people who have
visited Central park and seen the many
curious owls there say that nothing like
it, either as to size or resemblance, is on
exhibition.-Pine Hill Sentinel.

The Dreaded Bush M aster.

While the rattlesnake prefers the
woodland border and the unfrequented
copse. and the moccasin and fer de lance
contine themselves to the flat lands by
the river. the bushmaster roams over
billy regions in the depths Of the vast
forests of South America, where every
bird and beast. even the fierce jaguar.
leave him undisputed king. With fangs
of wondrous length and poison exceed
ingly copious, It's especially his great
strength and consequent power OF strlk-
ing to such remarkable distance that
render him truly the terror Of the woods.
He grows to the length of from : to 10
feet, and has been found 1873. He is as
thick as the largest part Of mans arm;
in color he is 4 light chocolate, with
great blackish saddles crossing his back
from head to tail. His name Is one Of
dire significance.
Woe to him who approaches without
making a careful calculation both of his
position for striking and of the distance
to which he can reach. Now. deadly
snakes can usually launch themselves to
q distance equal to two-thirds or even
three-fourths of their own length. What.
then, must be the peril Of attempting to
take an eight or ten foot bushmaster
with an eight foot stick! The striking
distance depends altogether ON the man
ner of the coil If this is we'll laid he
has full power But if on the contrary,
as is usually the case. it is entangled
within itself. or with surrounding roots
or branches. his striking distance is cur
tailed.
Should he be encountered with I'M
trammeled coil the hunter must keep at
respectful distance and force him to
shift his position until he becomes in
volved so as to reduce the biting range,
and so allow safe approach. Then
even the great bushmaster may be taken
with little risk, as once did very
large one in the forests of Trinidad: al
though had his coil been well laid he
could have struck me in the face or
breast.-George R. O'Reilly in Cincin-

saxton on the Religion. Issue.

TEoY, V. Y, Oct. 23.-Bicycle hall was iammod when the Republicans of Troy held their first mass meeting. Senator Charles T. Saxton, candidate for lieuten- mt governor, were the principal speaker of the evening.
 When Senator Saxton entered the hall there was prolonged applause and loud cheering. He was introduced by Hon. Martin I. Townsend, who presided. Sen ator Saxton said in part:
 II am proud this evening to represent In my humble way the grand old party of freedom and prosperity-the party of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses s. Grant and James G. Blaine-and when I see you so active and so enthusiastic I fccl as if I were among friends. Our opponents arc trying to raise falso issues, as a wrecker places false lights upon the rock bound coast to allure the unwary mariner to his destruction. They have dragged a re- ligious question into tho canvass. It is the shameless effort of desperate men to catch votes by false prejudicos. The ques- ton of religion has no place in our party politics The surest way to intensity re- ligious differences is to make a religious question the ruling cry of political party.
 This Is land of liberty, where every man has the right to worship God accord ing to the dictates of his own conscience. Tho Republican party has always been the party of liberty-personal liberty. It | stands squarely upon tho words of our national constitution, which provides that no religious test shall evor be requir. | ed as a qualification for an office of public | trust It never has been nor will 1t evel
 be the party of intolerance or prosorIp | tion.''

On the steep bluff close by the Wabash street bridge and nearly loo feet above the railroad tracks the Mo Clung building has stood for many years. It was finally condemned.

Pinker- lon, armed with a winchester. Sergeant Harrington of this city and Common wealth Attorney w. Seymour White The point was reached after miles of detour, and all indications would seem to give support to the belief that Pinkerton and his party arc on n hunt for the treasure stolen from the express car and supposed to be buried. Searcey's manner and speech show conclusively that at least treaty has been entered into with the au- thorities.
 Searccy was taken from jail here and placed in n carriage. He was handcuffed to Superintendent Pinkerton. In the ve- hicle was basket filled with enough pro- visions to last the party two days. The commonwealth attorney also went along. Many fruitless efforts were made to elude tho reporters who woro following close behind. A brief stop was made at Brooks station, on the R., F. and P. road, and then the ride was resumed to Stafford Court House. While Searccy was sitting in tho parlor of the clerks house the cor respondent asked Pinkerton tho object of the excursion. The time Is not ripe" he said. but there will Do interesting de- vclopments later on. "
 After repeated urginGs on this point the party left again without locking up their prisoner in stafford jail. In all prob ability Senrcey is taking Pinkerton and his associates to tho spot near the Eir- ginia Midland where 1t is said tho thou sands stolen from the express car wero buried. The strange proceedings lcud color to the belief that the railroad robbcr has divulged his connection with tho whole plot Since his arrival here he has been undisturbed and even jubilant in his manrcr. and his jailer said he danced and sang unrcstrainedly. It now seems that only three men were engaged in tho robhary
