British Cabinet Trouble Ended.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Birmingham Post
asserts that the dissension reported to ex-
ist in the Cabinet in regard to the carry
ing out of the naval programme is said to
have been smoothed over by compromise
by which a loan will be issued to provide
the necessary funds for the navy instead OF
taking the surplus OF the budget for 1885,
to which Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor
of the Excheuuer, was opposed, he de-
sired to do something popular with this
surplus. 1t is believes Dy the Post that
the loan will be issued in the form OF
termnable annuities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment has received no request for troops on
account of interference with mails by the
Brooklyn strike and it is said at the War
Department that it is not expected that
any such call will be made. 1t is not be-
lieved that any necessity for troops will
arise While interference with the mails
is contrary to federal law, it is also in
violations of State law, and no reason is
seen why the authorities of New York
State are not entirely competent to deal
with the trouble without calling on the ma
tional government.

singularly Unfortunate.

MT. Charles Johnson of New York is one of the unluckiest men living. and he is in a fair way to be crushed by cir cumstanees over which he has no con- trol.
 A short time ago MT. Johnson fell three stories and cracked his skull. This was bad enough, but when a jury awarded him damages for his injuries the defendt ants failed and he got little or nothing. The worst however was still to come. He had employed a medical expert to testify to the nature and extent ,of his wounds, and because he is unable to pay the mans fee under an order of the court he is now serving three months for con- tempt in Raymond street jail
 It is a peculiar case and should be re- corded among the curiosities of justice. Here is a man who is innocent, with a good case, as the verdict shows, and be- cause the defendants have failed to pay him the amount of his judgment he must be punished like a felon. It strikes us that the New York code needs overhaul ing.-Exchange.

lieve that the parity of the metals is possible with free and unlimited coinage of silver at Is to T.
 I met an old darky at the Rnston Louisiana Chautauqua. He said that he was in favor of free and unlimited coin age of silver at 16 to l, 16 to the white man and 1 to- the negro l reckon he might be considered a fair average sil- Yerite.
 This great government of ours for three years has been passing through the channel leading from one sea of condi- tions to another sea of conditions. The channel has been narrow. It has taken a master hand to keep the old ship off the rocks: but soon we shall pass out into a broader, deeper sea of prosperity than ever before. I would that we had the patience and common sense to see con ditions and meet them as they are. It doesn't pay to pine. and "growlers' don't get there." But if the farmer will stick to his blow, the merchant to his store, the lawyer to his office, the preacher to his pulpit, the mechanic to his shop. and so on, there are no problems which can not be solved and no difficulties which cannot be overcome. If l know my own heart and feelings l am with the mass of laboring people in this country, and l believe it to be to their interests that money should be as good as anybedy's dollar. g
 Gods sun never shone on such poor mems country as America. 1t is fact that the merchant prince of America. A T. Stewart, was once country school teacher The leading railroad magnate of the world once kept a ferry The leading financier of America once ped dled rat traps. The leading manufactur- CT of America was once hired out as an office boy at $1 a week. The most thor oughly literary man the world ever saw learned his letters by the light of pine knot burning in the furnace of his black smith shop. The man who holds the highest political honors in the history of America next to George Washington was a poor, ungainly Illinois rail-splitter. Ant so it is; America is the only country in the world where all professions have been headed by the poor, who started in humble circumstances of life.

 Little did we think years ago when pr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an- pounced through the columns of the Her. ald that he would treat only special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head -a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmin gham may well be proud of him.

 No specialist in the south is more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. P. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form. This great expe- rience, together with his skill and ability, not only places the doctor at the head of his profession in such matters, but is Q guarantee to all that place themselves un- der his care that they will receive the best treatment possible to be obtained.

Of the flock following every move.
Suddenly it shot forward The ram
charged and met it halt way. A ter
rifle explosion followed, and the air was
full of fire needles. The flock broke
and ran, but the danger was over, for
the fragments of the broken ball had
dartcd into the earth, tearing it up for
yards round. Half blinded and wholly
dazed by the wonders he had seen, Mr..
Emmons staggered back into the house.
Next morning he found about forty
dead sheep in the field. Under the
cherry tree great burrows had been
plowed in the ground, and for 100
yards round it every growing thing,
from the cherry tree to the budding
golden rod that lined the fence, was
withered and dead. All that could be
found of the old ram was his horns,
so twisted that the farmer is going to
have them set in silver for corlsscrews.
Mr. Emmons collected insurance on
his sheep, but the damage to his house
is dead loss His watch has not gone
since, and his parlor clock, while its
retrograde speed has decreased, stead

ton. Upon every recurrence of the

From other places in the region come
accounts of the damage done by the
storm, but no other farm suffered as
did Mr.. Emmons'. The only other ex-
perience resembling his is that of Eph
Faylsman, who, while coming home
late was overtalsen by the storm. A
bolt of lightning passed SO near him
that it shaved his left cheek clean, and

NOT THE MISSING LINK.
Prof wortman's Discovery Proves,
to Be Nothing But a Monkey.
Complete Chain of Evolution Broken
Asunder-History of the Specimen tho
Scientist Discovered Buried at I
the Head Of Bitter Creek.

The chain extending from mollusk to
man is still short one link. The theory
of evolution, as propounded by Darwin,
is as far from being established as ever,
Notwithstanding the fact that Prof. j.
L. Workman, of Columbia college, New
York, while prospecting for anthropo-
logical specimens near the head of the
historic Bitter creek, in Wyoming, dis
covered buried in the yellow clay the
bones of prehistoric man. His an
nouncement to the scientific world that
he had at last succeeded in completing
chain of evolution was little prema-
ture and the professor will have to take
it all back.
What he found was nothing more or
less than monkey, such one as can
be seen any day in dime museum or
the side show of circus. The pro-
lessor admitted that his find resembled
a white-faced capuchin, but what both
cred him and other scientists was to-
establish the manner of Jocl1o's pres
ence on the American continent, and
what manner of hands had buried him
and when the funeral took place.
His discovery arrived on this CONT
nent a couple of years ago, confined in
cage on board of a ship which made
its port of entry at San Francisco.
From the coast the little savage was
brought there by two cowboys, who
tanned the creature and diversified the
monotony of their lives with it's curious
pranks. The monkey sickened and
died; the cowboys with tender hands
buried it on the banks of Bitter creek,
and the professor found it. And now
the professors great discovery has been
ruthlessly shattered by iconoclastic
hands. What pity!

went. 1t was nearing the surviving
group of sheep, which was led by
big, wise old ram with consider
able strategy in his brains. See
ing the ball approaching, the ram
bleated in command, and the sheep fol.
lowed him to the center Of the field,
where they huddled together. Slowly
the electric sphere went on consuming
the fence. This done, it rolled across
the field toward the group Of sheep.
The old ram awaited it with lowered
head, bravely sounding his challenge
few feet in front of tho group under
his protection. Three little lambs, on
seeing the lightning approach, broke
away from the group and ran to one
side. Instantly the ball Wen, rolling
and bounding after them. One after
another it touched very gently, as if in
game of tag, and one after another
they fell. The ball made a wide dctour
and again approached the group. AS
it circled, the old ram changed his posi-
ton, keeping his face toward the
enemy. 1t advanced, and he stood
ready to the charge Then it tented
toward the left and tried toget through
on the other side, but the rams gen.
eralship was too good, and the fire
ball, but for swift rise into the air,
would have come into collision with
that formidable front. The next move
of the attacking force was to circle
round and round with great rapidity
and in narrowing circles, the protector

BATTLE WITH A RATHER.
Woman Kills 1t with a Sickle, Then sews
Up Self-Inaicted Wound.

Up = Self-Indtcted Wound.
Mrs. Adam STREET., an aged woman
living 2 miles from town, was cutting
grass on the river flats near Adrian,
Mich, the other day when big snake
wound itself around her bare ankle and
bit her. In her fright she dropped her
sickle, but quickly nerving herself she
seized the snake and flung it from her.
1t Immediately coiled for second
spring and she jumped back. Again
the snake coiled, and when it sprang
Mrs. STREET. made swipe with the
sickle and cut it's head clean off. With
the same blow, however, she cut big
slash in her ankle, severing two veins.
and opening a wound across the place
where the serpent had sunk its fangs.
She ran to the river and washed tho
blood away and then sewed up the
wound with needle and thread which
she had in her pocket. She started to
walk home, but soon the thread gave
way and the wound began to bleed
afresh. She had no more thread, and.
could think of nothing but big brass
safety pin which held her dress to-,
gether. With this she gathered the
edges of the wound, and, holding her
apparel as best she could, walked q
quarter of a mile to her home
The doctors say that the profuse
bleeding saved her from serious results
of the snake bite.
The snake proved to be RATHER s

reached the parlor. There he struck

mediately struck back, sending the
match flying through the air. At

thunderstorms, but this worried him
little. Instead Of abating, tho storm
seemed to be getting worse and worse.
At every shock of thunder the house
rocked and swayed as if an earthquake
were Juggling with it. The farmer
stepped to the door just in time to see
playful fork Of light go through his
pet apple tree, stripping off all the
apples and leaves, but leaving intact
the branches, the baldest thing in the
township. A tremendous outburst fol-
lowed, and then, in lull, the bleating
Of the terrified sheep was heard. Mr..
Emmons ran down to the field, but
was knocked heels over head by the
conclusion of the thunder. When he
got up he saw p huge blade of fire
playing round abe cherry tree, under
which twenty dead sheep were
stretched out. Two groups, one Of
about ten, the other numbering about
thirty. were scurrying across the field,
bleating in terror. The great blade Of
lightning flashed over tne field north

group, after which it burned the
