A UNICORN RABBIT.

From the San Francisco Call: Miss
Bertrand, daughter of the hotelkeeper Mt
Tocaloma, captured a most unusual quad
ruped few day ago. 1t is specimen of
the ordinary cotton tailed rabbit, but
differs from the rest of the tribe by not
having his just share of ears. In fact,
he has only one. and that is 'sripht in the
middle of his forehead"
Possibly the rabbit realized that he was
dliteren arom his fellows, for he was first
seen few hundred yards from the
nor sen he was chased instead of
just opened. AS last as possible, he ran
thir%yTo 50 ta5A nrubbery and staid there
unu ~ <ahl, Red up. And the strang-
est tfftjS---ssis,t he never seemed fright
ened at any time, but allowed himself to
he handled just as if he was used to it all
his life.
The body of Miss Bertrand's rabbit is
eNaeoiy IKE all other rabbits, and so is it's
mead. HIS fur is the same color and there
appears to be no difference in size from
Others of his species. But to look at him
is startling And all on account of that
strange, uncanny ear. 1t sticks IN in the
widest manner and makes the little
animal look about twice his real size. II
also gives him the ferocious appearance
that Indians have when they put feathers
on their heads and twist them into their
muir So thau III SUCKS up as straight rs Il
bean pole.
While the animal captured at Toca-
Iona has only one ear it really seems to
have two orifices. The openings are on
the side of the ear and not far from the
usual places. From the upper portions
OF them the skin of the ear grows toward
the center of the head, where it joins the
one from the other side, and the two be-
come one piece of flesh, except for the
fact that the inside is turned toward the
back instead of towards the sides. The
single ear is nearly twice the size of one
in normal condition.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE

New York, July 7.-Political consider
ations today engrossed the attention of
the financial community to the neglect
of the stock exchange markets. Busine IS
on this account was restricted, and
slackening of the foreign demand for our
securities was also reflected. In spite of
TINS fact, however, the tone of the market
was fairly firm throughout. The market
continued dull up to the closing hour,
which was firm with fractional changes
Ia either direction, but mainly advances.

THE PASSING OF THE PROMINENT
DEMOCRAT.

There is something pathetic in con-
templating the procession of more or
less prominent Democratic politicians
who, during the past few months,
! have been marched up to the block,
and have lost their political heads.
Had they lived five hundred years
ago they would probably have lost
their heads in reality, and their
bodies would have been cast into
their last resting place. Now their
bodies are walking around, but their
influence is about as small as though
they were laid on the shelf. Hill,
German, Brice, Campbell, ct ais, and
the work of decapitation is by no
means done. Bayard is getting
ready as fast as he can for the politi-
cal headsman's block.
If it is Mr.. Cleveland's deliberate in
tention to so thoroughly disgust
this country with a Democratic Pres
ident and Democratic administra-
ton generally, he could hardly take
a better method to secure this end
than the course he has been pursuing.
Why is it that a great political par
ty in this land and age brings to the
front men of the stripe of Hill, Cor
man and Brice-men whose ascend
ency means corruption and the degre-
dation of American political institu-
tions to the lowest ends, and at
whose downfall the nation ~rejoices ?
Why is it that the greatest man
in this party makes statements Gin
his message) which even the ardent
friends of the administration char
acterize as deliberate falsehoods?
Why does another great Democrat
deliberately insult a large part of the
people of this country, and even dis
gust his English admirers, by state
ments made in his speeches? Bayard
and Cleveland are entirely different
from German and Hill, but there is
a woeful lack of common sense and
of human nature in them. They,
with many of their associates, seem
to be blinded to truths which are
plain to others.
AS it is, the party will have a hard
job to find a candidate for the Presi.
dency. 1t looks as though the office
would have a hard hunt to find the
man. About the most undesirable
position to occupy in the United
States next year will be that of Dem.
ocratic candidate for President.

81 will introduce you to the four
men who run the House of Represen-
%tatives," said an old senator the
other evening to a new congressman
from his state. "You know | served
in the House for some time before |
got to the Senate, and | have met
the Big Four constantly during the
past II years on conference com
mittees, and in other ways which
have given me an insight into their
natures, positions and power. In
the first place, | want you to become
favorably acquainted with Tom Reed.
You know that he is the big boss of
the situation. Then [ want you to
meet Nelson Dingley, who is also from
Maine. 1t makes no difference
whether Dingley is made chairman of
the ways and means or not. He is
the biggest and broadcast man in
either House on tariff affairs. He is
a power in the House, and things
will go largely his way in connection
with accomplishing legislation. Then
| want you to meet Col. Dave Hen
derson of Iowa, who will be chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tons. You want to keep very near
to him. He is a good and great man.
Then | want you to meet Robert 7.
Hit of Illinois. There is no man in
Congress who is wholly his equal on
foreign relations. He has been in the
diplomatic service, and in touch with
international affairs for 27 years.
He is a very great man and has
wonderful influence in the House.
"When you know those men you
know the Big -Four who will run the
House in all it's details. They are
Reed, Dingley, Henderson and Hit.
After you get acquainted with them,
keep acquainted with them. You will
soon see that | have started you
right; for you will soon realize that
they are the master minds of the
House of representatives. "-Phila-

"Tammany Hall" is thelocal name
for the principal faction Of the Demo-
cratic party in New York. 1t gets
it's name because it's headquarters
and meeting place are in Tammany
hall. This hall is owned by the Tam
many society, or Columbian order, a
fraternal organization founded in
1889 by William Mooney in opposi-
ton to the Order of the Cincinnati.
The political party rents the hall
from the society, which has only a
formal existence. The society cele.
brates the Fourth of July each year
with reading of the Declaration, pa
triotic singing, etc. All the members
of the Tammany society belong to
Tammany hall, the party, but all the
| members of the hall do not belong to

The SAME STORY.

Which Has Been Told at Montpelier,
MiddIebury and Several Other Towns.
Montpelier winds up the tail end of
the procession of towns that have
been duped by the crack stallion
scheme. There are 13 men now in
the vicinity of this city who are
looking up the services of a lawyer,
when if they had had guardians APP
pointed over them about a year ago
they might now be in a good deal of
money and saved a lot of worry.
Something like a year ago a man by
the name of Reynolds, probably the
same fellow that sold stations to the
Randolph and Miidlebury parties,
came to this city and interested a
dozen or fifteen people to the extent
that they gave their notes jointly
and severally for about $1,000 and
received in return q stallion that
might bring to-day $40. Some time
ago the papers became due and we're
presented at the First National bank
tor collection, but payment was re-
fused and the notes protested. The
notes were held by the Limerick
National bank of Limerick, Me-, who
had taken them up for Reynolds. A
few months ago Charles g. Moulton,
the cashier was in this city to look
after the interests of the bank, but
did not, apparently, do anything.
Last week papers were placed in
Deputy Sheriff John L. Tuttle's
hands to serve upon the signers of
the notes and their cases come off in
the March term.-Montpelier Argus.

In a Sunday school in the Midlands
one of the teachers, a Hibernian, was
more remarkablefo for his zeal than his
learning.
On a certain morning he was in the
middle of q glowing account of the
overthrow of the Egyptians in the
Red sea, when he volunteered to ex-
plain the subject more clearly.
"Ye see, bhoys," he remarked,
"when the Red sea, parted in the
middle the two halves became frozen
into solid walls on each side OF the
Israelites and they passed over safe
ly. But when the Egyptians came
runnin' atther 'em the ice melted,
and they was all drowned on the
shpot."
The boys forming the Irishman's
class glanced at each other, but few
of them were convinced.
eye don't behave it, johnny" ex-
claimed the teacher to M who had
loudly expressed his doubts. In
dade, then, an pwhat part can't ye
belave?"
about the ice, sir" answered
Johnny.
"Well, pwhat about the oice?"
81 don't think the Red sea ever did
freeze, sir. It's too near the equator. y
For a moment, and only a mo-
ment, the Irishman was at fault. At
length be exclaimed triumphantly =
"Sure, there vas no equator in
thin days"
The reply, ingenious as it was,
failed to satisfy the boys, who soon
had the lrishman cornered again.
Being obliged TO withdraw his form
er statement, he admitted that the
equator must have been here.
Didn't l tell yez," he exclaimed
"that when the Egyptians came the
dice melted? Sure, they brought the
equator along wild 'em."
