1t is understood that there has been a
caucus Of the county commissioners elect
which resulted in an agreement to allow
the sheriff, clerk, auditor and treasurer
but one deputy each and that the pay of
deputies should be $40 per month. Com
missioner Carpenter and Stephenson
have agreed to the cut and they compose
majority Of the board. Those who
ha,s been working and waiting for
deputyships are considerably stirred up
and disguised over this proposed action.
Last Saturday an annual meeting was
held at the Congregational church for re.
ports of the years wsSk and election of
officers. Mrs. Edw. Whitson reported
the LADIES' Aid; Miss Marjory Moran,
the Girls Aid Miss Marie Schaffner, the
Sabbath school; Mrs. l.. X. McDermid,
the church and q. 4. society; and Mr..
ID. B. Greenwalt gave the treasurer's re-
port. All the departments seem to be
alive and working. The clerks report
showed gain in membership during the
year of about 30 per cent. Mr.. ID. b.
Greenwalt and Mrs. l.. X. McDermd
were reelected treasurer and clerk re-
spectively, aud Leroy BROKER and Prof.
j. M. Richardson deacons for the ensuing
year.
VIM. Stobie was up from Sunnyside
on Tuesday and brings rather gloomy
report regarding the condition OF the
young orchards. He says that the ex-
so far made in the orchards
OF the lower Yakima indicate that many
OF the peach and cherry trees haze been
winter killed. The hardy varieties of
apples, such as the Ben Davis, are all
right and later examination Of the more
tender fruits may show better state of
affairs. The early, extreme and unusual
c)ld snap caught the trees with the sap
still in the limbs and body of the trees
and there is no doubt but that there has
been considerable loss in the low land
orchards. So far as can be ascertained
the orchards about North Yakima have
not been injured.

Rnmance Of the ReedbIrd.

The story Of the redbird Is q TO-
nance, SAYS the Boston Transcript IL
Is a tale Of the most destructive feail-
cred animal known to this continent
an animal against which man has
waged vain var Tor more than tWu
centuries. The rice fields Of the South
are well-nigh ruined 10y it every year
Its periodical migration from the far
North 10 regions below the Equator j.
one Of the most astonishing perform
ances credited TO birds, part OF the
Journey being flight without pause
or rest across 400 miles of sea. But
strangost Of all is the annual tranaioT-
nation which the creature uudergoes
from the recdb!rd into the bobullnk,
and again from the b4bpllna into the
recdbird. IL Is like two birds lu one.
Most people IN the northern part o.
the United States are familiar with
the hobOuuk-a bird of tuuciul song
and pretty plumaga, black beneath
and gruvish white on the back, with "a
buff spot on the back of the neck. Its
breeding grounds are north OF the lati-
tude of southern New jersey, West
Virrinia and central Illinois, extend
ing northward to Montreal q Lake
WINNIPEG, and western almost across
the Great Plains. Over TINS wide are"
it feeds upon seeds, insects and what
ever it can pick up. 1t makes Its grass
nest in fields and meadows, building
on the ground, and it lays from four
to seven grayi-h white eggs, blotchea
with olive and brown spots. The nest
is SO iucOnspicuous as to be very hard
to find.
BY the middle of july the bobolink
is through breeding and has begun to
moult 1t dofs its pretty plumage
and puts on sober coat Of notified
yellowish gray all over. At the same
time it stops singing, and for many
months utters 10 other note than IL
call of "Chink." In a word, it has
assumed the guise or disguise of the
familiar recdbird, and now it Is ready
to start on its annual journey south
ward. From north and west the birds
wing their way in great tocks, all
heading toward Florida. They are
rapid travellers, and pretty soon they
strike the swamps and estuaries Of the
middle Atlantic coast. 1t Is the sea-

Decrease of Danger in Railroad Travel.

Railroad accidents have shown in "A
striking way the decrease of danger
in modern travel through the superior
equipment of passenger trains. Tele-
scoping of passenger coaches is now
a rarity, as the manner of connecting
the cars makes the train practically a
solid body, terrible in its impact with
another body, but calculated to retain
its own identity under tremendous
strain. The wreck of the fast-mail
train on the Pennsylvania railroad some
time ago was most remarkable from
the fact that while the locomotive run
ming fifty miles an hour plunged into
deraiIed cars without being checked,
and plowed its way through
five heavy freight-cars before it
leaped into the canal, the passengers
on the rear cars were not in the least
injured, and some of them did not
know that a wreck had occurred till
they were informed of the calamity.
An examination of the platforms and
buffers of the cars behind the two
mail cars which were wrecked showed
that they had withstood the ter
rife impact without apparent dam
age. A few weeks later the Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie flyer, running sixty
miles an hours crashed into the rear of
freight train. The complete demo-
lition of the locomotive and tender
and the cars that it piled into showed
the force of the strain on the coaches,
and yet no one coach platform gave
way and not one passenger was seri-
ously hurt.

Socialism, when put into practice,
does not seem to the New Orleans
Picayune, to accomplish all the good
that its advocates claim for it. There
are few small towns in France, such
as St. Denis and Roubaix, which have
had socialistic town councils, and thus
enabled the world to see 1.-THE state, I"
under certain restrictions, it is true,
actively engaged in promoting human
happiness on the socialistic plan. At
Roubaix the mayor, NJ. Carette, has
fallen far short of the popular expec-
tation. There is still an enormous
amount of poverty and discomfort in
that town, and the opinion of one sec
ton of the socialists is that Carette is
to blame. The result is that they are
"disgruntled" and are abusing him
grossly.

About Repairs on Ocean Vessels.

Few people have any idea of the
enormous expense of keeping the big
ocean greyhounds in ship shape. 1t
costs the international Navigation
Company on an average SO, 900 a
month for repairs to the various yes
sells. They are thoroughly overhauled
every month, and the amount OF
small repairing necessary would
astonish even the old voyager. In
the shops at Jersey City there
is a duplicate of every bit OF ma
chinery used in the makeup of an
ocean liner, from enormous pieces of
shafting down to the smallest bolt At
the conclusion of each voyage the
company hires a professional rat
catcher, who clears the ship of the
little pests. He bats his traps with
the core of head of lettuce and
places a rat in each one, his experience
being that the others will then more
readily enter. On an average fifty
rats are caught in this manner after
every voyage.

Percentage of Age as Regards Labor.

A recent bulletin OF the Mic higan
Census Bureau is devoted to the occu-
pations Of the people of the State over
ten years Of age. Agriculture holds
the place of importance, farm workers
being 3l.SO per cent. of the total
number OF males whose occupations
are reported, as compared with 1875
per cent. in manufacturing and min
ing industries, 10. 40 per cent in trade
and transportation. 1876 IN domestic
and personal service, and 2.33 per
cent. in the professions. The native
stock holds its own on the
farms, too, the per cent, of agricul-
turists who are native born being
70. 49, The foreign born are found
more largely in domestic and personal
service, and in manufacturing and
mining, representing nearly one-half
in each, being 46.8 per cent. in the
first named, and 45, IS per cent. in the
other. Child-workers, between the
age Of ten and sixteen, are 2,4S per
cent. Of the whole, and workers over
sixty years of age are S.Sl per cent,
Female workers constitute about one
fourth of the whole number under
twenty-oue years OF age, but between
that age and sixty years their proper
ton falls to nine per cent, dropping
TO three per cent among those over
sixty years of age.

The Cunning Jaekal.

The cunning Of the fox il house
hold word, but according to an Eng
lish naturalist who has made q study
Of the iaekal, ''the fox is a fool com
pared 10 him." In Stimulating death
the Indian jackal exceeds, indeed, the
deryish of the desert, and when act
ually in the mouth of a hound will lie
as If stone dead and then, choosing
his opportunity later, will pull him
self together and scamper of into the
jungle.
The home of the jackal is in India
and Ceylon, but 1t ranges through
Persia and Arabia, and as far as south.
eastern Europe. In Africa, too, It Is
found as far south rs Abyssinla. Fear
full tales are told of how these four
footed vultures gorge themselves at
night on battlciields, and how, at
times, when the graves OF the dead
are not deep and piled above with
stones, this uuclean beast drags forth
the bodies piecemeal for Its feast.
No one VINO has ever travelled IN the
countries OF the East will ever forget
the chill that strikes his marrow the
first time he hears the midnight howl
of this noisome beast. Nothing more
CHASTITY and hideous can we'll be
imagined. 1t is so frfghtful that to
some it becomes fascinating. 1t is the
barking of the dog mingled with the
audible cry of human distress. Again,
it sounds like the wailiug of child.
The name 'jackal' seems to have
come from the original Persian word
Shanghai, which in Turkish becomes
"chacal." Naturalists term it "canis
aureus, +" or'goldly dog" doubtless on
account of its color, which is a dirty
yellow In size and appearance the
Indian jackal is somewhat intermedi-
ate between the wolf and the fox.
Although the iackal's taste is notably
carnivorous, yet he is very partial to
the wild plum, the sugar cane, maize,
melons, and even coffee berries, when
he has a chance.
