Of the civil war he gradually lost great

ator Broderick, although Il democrat,
was opposed to the extension of slav-
cry. Judge Terry represented the
ultra slavery wing of his party, and he
was put forward to kill Senator Brod-
erick. It was cold-blooded piece of
business. In a speech at Sacramento
in 1859 Judge Terry denounced the. SEN
ator as traitor, and said: "These peo-
pie call themselves Douglas democrats,
but they are not followers of Stephen
A. Douglas. They are under the BAN
ner of Douglas, il is true, but it is
the black Douglas. His name is Fred
erick, not Stephen"
That speech called forth some bitter
remarks from Senator Broderick, for
which Judge Terry challenged him to
q duel, and he accepted the challenge.
Judge Terry was born and raised to
believe in and to practice the code
duello. Senator Broderick knew prac-
tically nothing of dueling. Judge
Terry selected for his seconds men
who had had experience. Senator
Broderick's seconds knew nothing of
the code, and they were duped.

SKUNK FARMING FAILS.

The Skins Cheap, the Oil in Less De-
mand, and the business a Failure.
Pierre Soucci, the only man in Maine
who ever attempted skunk farming on
a large scale, offers his place, stock and
fixtures for sale at bargain. and says
he is going to the gold fields of Alaska.
where he hopes to make money more
rapidly than by SHINING skunks and
trying out their oil. Though Soucci had
plenty of minnows and whitefsh to feed
TO his pets, and could catch all the rab-
bits he wanted with two spools of cop
per wire, he has abandoned the business
and confessed that skunk. culture
doesn't pay. Last year he took off 200
pelts of his own growing and caught
about 120 wild skunk. All that time an
average skunk sold for $1.15, while
good black one was worth from $3.50
TO three dollars. Skunk oil was sell
ing for four dollars gallon, so when
Soucci went into winter quarters with
600 sl1unls in stock he felt as if he was
right in the middle Of the highway
which leads to wealth.
Last winter after the ponds had

deep water he began to give his skunks
q diet of raw rabbits. For few weeks
they did very well, and then they de-
veloped canniba]istic tastes and started
i'll to eat one another, until half of his
herd had been killed and devoured by
the other half. This spring he raised
about 400 young skunl>s, all of which
did well. He was hoping? to retrieve his
ill fortune and get rich in Il few years.
and had good grounds for his hope until
he saw the fall bulletins of the fur trade.
Skunk skins, which have been fashion
able for ten years, are no longer in
demand, mink. muskrat and offers hav-
ing taken their place. The best pelts,
that would bring three dollars each
year ago, are now selling for $3.50 each,
and poor, white-marked skins are only
worth the taking off. Skunk oil has
gone down one dollar on the gallon,
making rheumatic patients feel very
happy, but cutting into the earnings OF
the skunk farm. Soucci could find no
profit. He will wait q reasonable time
for somebody to come and buy him out,
and then, if he gets no offer, he will
kill off his stock.-N. Y. Sun.
