A Good Time to Keep Quiet.

When you feel that Ideas are crowdlng your
brain
And struggling for ardent expression:
When impulses come which you scarce
can restrain
To arise with some charge or confession;
When your inmost emotion persuades you
to speak
Opinions which fairly run riot;
When the thoughts come so fast that your
soul yearns to Shrek
It's mighty good time to keep quiet

CHARITY I'LL REWARDED.
Poor Treatment Accorded Vessel
With Food for Famine Sufferers,

DULUTH Mimi. Nov. 4.-Captain
Alexander McDOugall, general man
ager of the American Steel Barge
company, is in receipt of a letter from
Captain L. Laverg, master Of the
Whaleback steamship City of Everett,
which sailed last summer from San
Francisco for Calcutta with a cargo
of food for the famine sufferers of
India.
The letter is a long one and is dated
at Calcutta, Sept. IS. In it Captain
Laverg charges that English officials
at Calcutta received the famine sup
plies without enthusiasm. The pilot
came aboard of the City of Everett
when she approached Calcutta, told
the captain that he would have done
better to have brought cargo of
rapid-firing guns with which to kill
off the Indian population instead of
food.
Captain Laverg says that the City
of Everett was treated shamefully at
Calcutta by the government and that
the treatment seemed especially out
of place, in view of the presence Of
the vessel as representing the generos-
ity and humanity Of the American
people. There was nothing on which
a claim for dues could be exacted that
was not enforced, and the officials,
finding after ransacking the papers Of
the ship, that the officials at Singapore
had exempted the ship from some light
dues, promptly enforced them The
claim was made that the governor at
Singapore had no authority to exempt
the ship from paying any dues. Be
fore leaving Calcutta the English Of
ficialS even insisted on the payment of
dues for the ships stores.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-There was an
extraordinary case heard before the
lord mayors court today, when man
named Hinde sued the Prince of Wales
to recover $50, 900, alleged to have been
wrongfully paid him by the late I'm
dersheriff Croll, who was the liquidator
of the United Kingdom Electric Tele-
graph company. The plaintiff declared
that the money belonged to a certain
Mr.. Allen, of whose estate he was the
assignee. Hinde further claimed the
sum of f15G,000 from Lord Suffolk, al
leging that the latter had suborned
Croll to commit perjury before Lord
Bramwell at the trial, in 1877, in con-
nection with the liquidation. Sir
George Lewis, in behalf of the Prince
of Wales and the Earl of Suffolk asked
that the proceedings be quashed on the
ground that the allegations were moth
ing more than a frivolous and vexa-
tious tissue of nonsense, and he sub
mitted an affidavit to that effect. The
plaintiff then addressed the court, de-
claring that he had been told that the
Prince of Wales received the money

obtain promotion and a peerage. The

The recent drought drove hundreds Of
wild birds and small animals from the
forests into the cities and towns in
every section Of this state. This city
was almost as thickly populated with
quail as an English game preserve,
and their shrill piping as they rose
with a Whir from lawns in the early
morning long since ceased to be a nov
city.
The reason for this is supposed to be
the scarcity of food in their accustomed
haunts, which forced them to come
into the towns upon foraging eXpedi
tons. While this city has been the
home Of quails and cartridges, town
on the line Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad between here and Grafton has
had far less desirable visitors, it being
infested with skunks. Through trains
increased their speed as they passed
through the town, and those in charge
of the local trains made their stops
as brief as possible. Passengers from
the unfortunate village were given a
wide berth when they entered the cars,
having no difficulty in securing a doZ-
en- or more seats, in case they desired
them.
All efforts to rid the town of the
pests have thus far failed, and the
inhabitants are greatly worried over
the outlook for the winter. In the
mountains of Tucker and the BLACK
forest" Of Randolph counties the larger
animals are invading the towns, hard
ly a night passing without a visit from
bear, wild cat or deer.
So bold have the bears grown that g
huge black animal of that species re-
Gently blocked the turnpike thin half
a mile of Parsons, frightening the
horse of a United States deputy mar
shall, causing the animal to run away,
wrecking the wagon and severely in
juring the driver. While it is no I'M
usual thing for game and Wild animals
to Invade the smaller towns during the
middle Of hard winter the conditions
during the drought were never known
