The Squirrel and His Prison,

"A reStaurant-keeper at the foot of the
Waldeck had a squirrel in a cage on
the front of his house An American
passed one morning, and seeing the
squirrel whirling his cage round. asked
the man what he would take for the
whole concern. The man said 20 francs.
Wnlcn the American paid. He then said
he did not want the cage, but ordered
tile cage to be opened and out bounced
the squirrel into the pine woods above
as II overjoyed at his liberty. Where
upon the purchaser discoursed the late
owner considerably ON his cruelty to
little creature like that, and hoped it
would be lesson and a warning to
him as long as he lived. Early next
morning what was the surprise of the
estaurant-keeper to hear the cage
~hirlinS round at a tremendous rate
The squirrel had voluntarily returned
to his labors, and appeared as if anx-
ious to make up for lost time AS his
freedom had been purchased, his door
was always left open and supply of
food kept, SO that his little lordShip
could enjoy his run in the forest when
he wished, but he invariably returned
to his work. In the autumn, when his
drowslness came on, he took to the
woods for his winters nap, and the
question is, will he return in the spring?
Ii he does not, / shall conclude that he
has been shot by some of the lads
who sell the skins and who look upon
roasted squirrel as a supreme tit-bit.

Lord Salisbury as an Orator.

AS q speaker Lord Salisbury is "calm
and immovable." Look at him deliver
ing a great speech in the House of
Lords. With his face turned toward
the press gallery, and with a hand or an
elbow on the table, he stands in a rigid
attitude, calling no gestures to his aid
His words flow smoothly and stead
fastly in faultless sentences, while his
eyes look on some mental vision. The
voice of the Marquis is impressive
rather than eloquent. He dispenses with
notes, even when dealing with intricate
subjects. If he has quotation to make
he reads it from a crumpled slip of pa
per taken out of his waistcoat pocket

No stranger could look round the
gilded chamber without being impressed
by Lord Salisbury's appearance. His
head is very large and finely shaped.
The forehead is broad and lofty; and the
eyes, with heavy lids and arched brows
are calm and deep. The beard, once so
black, has become iron-gray. A titled
lady is reported to have said, with a
shrug, that his shoulders We're bent by
gold digging. The manner in which he
stoops certainly detracts a little from
his hight, which is fully six feet. He
wears long, dark coat, which does not
change in fashion with the seasons. For
a man of his temperament. indeed
fashion is an imperceptible factor. He
is careless of the little amenities Of life

CULT OF THE HORSE.
Respect and Venerati0n Shown the
Animal in Early Ages.

It is, perhaps, small matter for Won
Ger that the nations who first tanned
the horse for riding attached high honor
to the creature seated on whose back
they secured with such swiftness. The
exhilaration of riding is one which Gus
tom does not stale, and which affects
the civilized rider of to-day, if he be
of an emotional nature, probably al
most as keenly as 1t did the ancient
Scythian, German or Slav. In addi-
ton to this, neighboring races who had
rot this art looked upon those who had
it with a kind of superstitious wonder,
weaving strange stories about them.
The horsemen of Thessaly appeared to
the other Greeks through a mist of fa-
BILE as centaurs. half man, half brute,
hut wholly divine. And in the frank
fashion of all primitive people the
horseman gave back to the ho1ss the
glory that he had received reelected
from it, and made of his comrade in
war and chase kind of deity.
The ancient Germans took oracles
from white horses, just as the Egyp-
tians did from their sacred oxen. The
animals were kept in groves, and gave
augury by neighing. Among the Slavs
the sword combined with the horse to
to foretell future events. The weapons
were planted in the ground, and the
horses led among them; by the move
ments of the beasts the attending
priests judged the will Of the gods.
Among the Norsemen the sacrifice of
horse and the eating Of it's flesh was
token of sacramental allegiance to
Cdin. Among the ancient Irish, when
a King was crowned in Ulster, it was
customary to slay white mare aud
boil it in vat. Into this vat the new
Iy made King descended, and there sat
drinking the broth and tasting small
portions of the meat The eating of
horseflesh was SO we'll recognized as
heathen rite that the early Christian
saints forbade it to their converts
Among the Scythians the horse was
deemed sacred to the sun, and it's wor-
ship crossed the Himalayas, and was
early established among the Rajput
Kings.
Next to a human being, who probably
was, as matter Of fact, never sacri-
feed in ancient India, the horse was
the most acceptable Offering to the
gods. 1t is laid down in the Puranas
that the sacrificer of a hundred horses
Gusts Indra, the King of the gods, from

Effect of , High Dollar on the Laborer
and Mechanic.
Let each one read the follow
ing from the New York Journal
and then examine his own eXper~

Men who work for wages
should remember that money

A dollar is bought ty work.
ingman with a certain amount of
work. If dollars are few and
workingmen plenty he will have
to pay pretty dear in effort for
his coin Perhaps he will uot
even get chance to buy it at
all, either because there are not
enough dollars TO &C round or
because he cannot or will not pay
the price. In such event the fact
that the dollar he doesn't get is
one of great value neither inter-
ests nor profits him.
Does the banker, the money
lender, the man whose invest
ments bringing in interest out>
weigh all his other sources of
income suffer from dear dollar?
In no way. He does not buy
dollars with work. with goods,
with produce. He lends a dollar,
gets back one which, under ex.
isting conditions is sure to be
more valuable than the one he
lent. and moreover receives :n-
terest in money in high purchas>
ing power. His apparent inter-
est lies wholly on the side of a
dollar which is dear tosday and
dearer tomorrow. We say his
apparent interest because, in
fact, the present system PEI
sisted in Will be harmful to the
banking classes as to others.
The goose that lays the golden
egg may be slaughtered. All Sc
curities are founded on the pros
ity of the nation, and a policy
which compels the distress of
the people will compel the de-
kpreciation of the bankers secur-
tiles.
The shopkeepers buys his

out of every hundred OF his cus-
toners, if he runs a city store,
work for wages, and if the dear~
ness of the dollar destroys their
power of purchasing he will get
fewer dollars TO pay clerks and
some must be discharged, fewer
dollars with which to buy goods
and factories will be closed.
Every class of labor thus suffers
Dy dear dollar.
The common people, however.
will get near the core. of this
cure acy question if they re-
member that, to get dollar they
must buy it with labor if work
ingmen, with wheat and corn if
farmers, with cloth or china if
merchants. The dollar which
will exchange for twice as mnch
of these commodities as did the
dollar of thirty years ago is
dollar that costs them dear.

His Mother Visits Him at the County Jail

Since Nat Moore, the wife

placed In the county Jail in this
city. Sheriff Scott and his as
sistants have been greatly an
noyed by the large number. of
applicants that were anxious for
admission to the Jail to get a
glimpse of the man about which
SO much has been said of late.
People from all parts of the
county that had never been near
a jail before have tread it's stone
corridors to obtain view, of the
detected looking murderer. but
the most interested spectator
was that of his mother this
morning, who had come from
her quiet country home near
Fremont to fetch a basket of del
icate viands prepared by herself
TO tempt her sons appetite.
While others looked on with q
meaningless stare of idle curios-'
ity, her eyes were riveted on The
pale countenance Of her son and
the expression on her wrinkled
face told of o heart that was
yearning with pity. The tragic
scene by those two inexper-
fenced actors when the final
leave taking was made was true
to nature and caused the few
idlers that were standing near
to incline their heads and turn
their faces to the wall.
