The gold fever microbe has arriv-
ed from Alaska in great numbers
and it is attacking almost everybody
who has few hundred dollars, and
along with them an inordinate de.
sire to get rich quick. The conse-
quence is an EXODUS towards Alas.
ka which promises to surpass that
in California in '49. The arrival of
S1,5O0,000 on steamer from Alas.
ka the other day has greatly in
creased the intensity Of the fever,
and hundreds are now making their
way to the unexplored gold fields
with the hope of becoming quickly
rich.

SCANDAL MONGERS.

AAOAc uIc Two ClasSSS Oh SCdUudl
mongers are backbiters.
l. The "Whisperers,'' az desig.
mated by the apostle Paul. Ikey
never make any direct chaq
against a person aloud, but the6
use hints and innuendos and phrss-
es that suggest TO the nearer some
thing very dreadful. They will moi
vouch for the truth of the report,
but "they teas it may be all toe
true" With a very solemn couns
tenance they express their regret
and sorrow that such should be the
case, while in their hearts they are
exceedingly rejoiced that to them
has been given the FIRST opportunity
of publishing the scandal to the
world. Such whisperers scent a
SANDER further than hound does a
fox. "They run q daggerlike sus-
picion through persons character
as quietly and as quickly as they do
the needle through the cloth they
work upon, and look as sanity all
the while as if they were not stab
bling some one to the heart"
2. The regular scandal mongers
or backbiters, who pride themselves
upon the number Of scandals they
collect and the diligence with which
they scatter them around. They
glory in defamation, and outstrip
the newspaper in giving to the world
the latest gossip. Mr.. So and.so is
reported to have done this or that.
Did you hear ir? Or, Mr.. So-in-so
says this about so.and-so, and the
man straightway goes to his part
ner, and both run to their wives,
and the news goes all over the city
with the speed OF lightning. Such
conduct 10 heathenish. Cannitals
only eat the flesh Of men, but such
people take mems regulations and
cut and carve them as we do piece
OF meat. 1t is what you think and
others think Of neighbours reputa-
ton that constitutes that neighbours
reputation. And when you destroy
By backb;ting a mans name and
credit and honorable standing in
society, you take from him all that
is worth living for.
Good name in man and woman
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash
But he that tilches from me my good name
And makes me poor indeed.
The receiver of stolen goods is
held in law as guilty as the thief.
And the man who helps 20 cir
culate a SANDER is as bad as the
one who originates it. No con-
straint is put upon any man to act
thus. 1t is wilfnl and arocious.
To put ones hand into a barrel of
pitch and then 60 around shaking
hands with everybody, is no small
offense compared with this. l have
frequently found that people who
are given &c scandal are rot the
most perfect or most transparent
in their actions. 1t is to hide their
own defects that they endeavor to
bespatter their neighbours character.
If you go back far enough in their
own history, or that OF their family,
you will find some Skeleton in the
cupboard" that had better be kept
out Of sight. Had they been dealt
with as they treat their fellow.men,
their name would long ere this have
been consigned to eternal infamy.,-

urts justify the mob. Those
40 justify the mob condemn the
laws and the people who made
them.
If the laws are detective and the
process of enforcing them too slow,
let them be corrected. The piling
of one crime upon another corrects
no evil. The numbering of one
man by fifteen only adds fifteen
more murderers to the awful cata-
logue OF criminals. There are six
teen where there was but one.
When murderer is executed by
the law every citizen in the COM
monwealth tugs at the rope. The
deed is commended by the laws of
God as we'll as tho laws of man.
But when fifteen men take the law
and the rope in their own hands,
and out Of the hands Of the common
wealth, each individual Of the number
must stand before the bar Of God
and man in his own responsibility.
There is no license for the mob
in the laws of God or man. 1t can.
not be found even among the saw.

Why, then do we read daily of
these outbreaks in our own fair
land-right in the midst Of our
boasted civilization and Christian
country? Do we mock our own
boastings?

A Politician.

One of our exchanges tells Of an old
German who had beautiful boy of
whom he was rightly very proud and
decided to find out the trend of his
mind. He adopted a novel method by
which to test him. He slipped into
the little fellows room one morning
and placed on the table a bottle of
whiskey, Bible and silver dollar.
"Now," said he, even dot boy comes
in, if he takes dot dollar he's going to
be bee2nis man; ifhe takes dot Bible,
he'll be a preacher; if he takes dot
whiskey, he's no goot, going to lie a
drunkart." Then he hid behind the
door to see which the boy would choose.
In came the boy whistling. He ran up
to the table, picked up the Bible and
put it under his arm; then snatched
the bottle of whiskey and took two or
three drinks, and picked up the dollar
and put it in his pocket and went out
smacking his lips. The old Dutchman
poked his head out from behind the
door and exclaimed "Mein Got he
vas goin to be politician.

ducks at Riverton on small scale, and
his business has grown until the output
this year is about five thousand ducks,
and he is charging isplant, and expects
next years output to be about fifteen

occupies two acres of ground, and this
area he will increase. The plant consists
of an incubator-housc, n feed-room, "A
brooder-house, home for employees, n
wareroom, yards with shelters for the
ducks, and water-supply outfit, includ-
ing bath ponds supplied with running
water for the fowls. The proprietor is

Crushed BY a Python.

"senor senor" cried Diego, be-
tween sob and shout, "culebra !"
Snakes were common enough in the
neighborhood, l knew, but luckily ia
talities seldom happen. 1t was clear,
however, from the man s agitation that
something dreadful had taken place.
Mr.. Lesley took down his gun, and
we joined the terrified mozo, who at
once led the way back to his hut.
81 was asleep, senores," he painted
as he ran, with my wife and little
ones. Suddenly I awOke. Something,
rustling, a whisper aroused me. So
dark it was in the hut that I saw moth
ing-but listened. Again l heard
it. 'Por la Santa Virgen, salvame :
Ay de mi, senores it was my wife,
who lay on my bed of stretched hides
near the window. 'Mariquita l
cried. Speak to me- There was no
answer, but horrid Kissing. Then l
smelled the creatures fetid breath, and
knew my poor Mariquita was in the
coils of constructor
"Senores, he went on, in voice
broken by emotion, 81 had no gun,
and my machete l had dropped in the
forest. So l ran to you for aid, We
shall be too late, l fear; but there is
vengeance, and she, querida mia, my
lost one, shall be saved from that hor-
rid grave"
"And the children ?" cried Lesley,
breathlessly.
II carried both from the hut"
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
we ran as fast as the uneven, narrow
forest path and the mist would allow
us to do. The distance was not great.
Diego's hut stood on our side of his
masters plantation, a long way from
that gentleman's bungalow. Emerg-
ing from the forest, we rushed across
the clearing. With his gun at the
ready, Lesley entered first. He had
outstripped both Diego and me. l
heard two shots. Lesley met US at the
door.
"I've killed the brute, he said ;
"blown its head off; but I'm afraid its
all over with the poor woman.
1t was not, however Diegos wife
still breathed. But she was fearfully
crushed, and she never recovered. l
refrain from describing the spectacle
upon which l gazed when l entered.
Fortunately such scenes are rare. The
boa, or python, measured fifteen feet
in length, and was as thick as a man S
thigh.

Contest with an Eagle.

On Knobley mountain, seven miles
from Cumberland, Nd, Mr. Thomas
Sutton had an exciting experience with
an eagle. He was with party who
had gone to the Fauble farm to look
over some mineral lands. He saw an
immense bird lowering in the air over
the place and, procuring gun, fired
at the bird and brought it to the
ground, apparently dead. He seized
the bird, which proved to be an enor-
nous gray eagle, but it was not dead,
having only been struck under the
wing and stunned. AS soon as it was
seized it revived and showed fight.
1t buried its talons in Mr., Sutton S
wrist and leg below the knee. Then
a fierce battle began. The eagle fut-
tered and spared, as it were, for an
opening to drive in its beak. Sutton
warded off its blows at the expense of
badly cut hands. Constable Robert
Couters, the only member of the party
near, heard the noise of the ARRAY,
seized the eagle by the head and
choked it, finally tearing it loose from
its victim. The eagle is now on ex-
hibition in cage at Frank Hartel and
William Conway's place, in South
Cumberland. 1t has ravenous ap-
petite and does not seem to be the
least injured. 1t weighs about %
pounds and measures u feet from tip
to tip. Mr.. Sutton's arm and leg were
badly torn and are greatly swollen.

Weeyil In Wheat.

Prof. W. G. johnson, the State en-
tomologist of Maryland, has issued a
circular about the insect known as
"white fly" "weevil, ""stock fly, &c.
which attacks grain: The professor
says it can easily be destroyed, and
mentions the following remedy:
1.-The most satisfactory remedy now
known for this moth is the fumes OF
bisulphide of carbon. This chemical
is very infammable, volatile, foul
smelling liquid, as clear as water, with
a vapor so much heavier than air that
it will penetrate every possible crack
and crevice in a store-house or bin. 1t
can be thrown directly upon grain
without injuring its vitality or its ed
ible qualities, Many persons hesitate
about using bisulphide of carbon for
fear of fire or injury to grain. There is
no danger whatever if used properly
One pound of bisulphide Of carbon to
every 100 bushels of grain is all that
is necessary for the destruction Of in
sects. 1t is best to place the material
in shallow dishes or pans upon the
grain, and then close the bin tight for
at least twenty-four hours. Many
persons make mistake by not using
enough of the substance, and then say
it is no account. 1t is an easy matter
to estimate the number Of bushels of
grain in any Enclosure, and then it is
not a difficult task to calculate how
many pounds of bisulphide should be
applied. If it is desired to fumigate
empty bins, &c, one pound of the
chemical should be used for every
1000 cubic feet of air space. Bisul-
phide of carbon is not expensive.

night for the hand of a lady. The
battle ground was on vacant lot,
four ounce gloves were the weapons
and four fierce rounds were fought.
The principals were Charles D. Jacobs,
Jr., and Reverdy Estell, Jr., son of
the rector Of st. Pauls Episcopal
Church. Mr.. Jacobs second was Will
lam Mix, while Hamilton Apologize
acted for Estell. The young woman
was a witness of the fight. Her name
is kept secret. Both young men were
badly used up, and the young woman
is said to have declared the fight
draw. For some months the young
men had been suitors for the woman,
who lives in a fashionable quarter
They quarrelled, a challenge was
passed and accepted 1t might have
meant duel, but that is unlawful, SC
gloves were used. The fight is said to
have been stopped through hearing the
approach of policeman, who raped
with his club on the stone curbing,
The two young men are said to be far
from satisfied, and may renew their
encounter.
