SINGULAR STORY OF w. II. SEW
ARD.

SINGULAR STORY OF W. II. SEW
ARD.
A distinguished party OF statesmen
and diplomats made in August, 1868, a
visit to Cooperstown, in this state.
Among them were William II. Seward,
secretary of state, and the following
foreign ministers: Lord Lyons, of Eng
land; Baron Gerolt, of Russia; Mr..
Tassara, of Spain; Baron Stroeckel, Of
Russia; Mr.. Mercier, of France; Mr..
Molina, of Nicaragua, together with
the representatives of Italy, Sweden,
and Chill, and several secretaries and
attaches OF the different legations. SO
far as could be ascertained, the visit was
simply for pleasure and rest but there
were suspicious of a mysterious con-
ference on some grave affair OF inter-
national polity The Freeman's Jour
nal, of Cooperstown, now says that
there was a secret purpose In this gath
ering. but that IL was of domestic, not
foreign, import, and that the diplomats
from abroad knew nothing about 1t,
for they had been invited TO accompany
Secretary Seward as n means of con-
eealing his real errand. That errand,
declares the Freemans Journal, was to
prevent the success OF a rumored appli-
cation by foes OF the Union to a dis
trict Judge in one of the border states
for decision against the constitutions
ality OF q new draft of troops. President
Lincoln had heard of such a plan and
feared the effect of such a decision. He
consulted with Seward, and the latter
said that Justice Samuel Nelson, of
New York, was the only man who could
influence the judge TO whom the appli-
cation was to be made. See him imme-
diately," said the president. Seward
foresaw that he would be watched both
by Northern newspaper men and rebel
spies, and feared that some OF them
might hit upon the truth
SO he devised The ruse of taking a lot
of noted foreigners to the place of his
meeting with Justice Nelson. The
plan worked perfectly, and amid a Sc
ries of receptions and picnics the mat
ter was quietly laid before the jusice
who briefly said "The application
about to be made should be denied, as
a matter Of law and public policy, and
| will write my friend, Judge --, q
strong letter on the subject" This h'
did. and that ended the matter.DNeU

WHEN PROSPERITY IS GENUINE


Everybody is using the word pros
perity in these days, but many per-
sons carry in aheir minds a distinctly
mistaken idea Of its meaning To the
speculatOrs in stocks it means arise in
the particular things he fancies, when
the one change most hurtful to public
prosperity may possibly be an advance
in stocks which have only a speculative
value. To many thousand working
men there comes prosperity, according
to their conception, when their wages
rise, no matter whether other gwages
rise in harmony or the general cost oi
living increases more than earnings
There is a great army OF farmers tc
whom prosperity means the accidental
concurrence of bOunteous crops and
exceptionally high prices, and they dc
not stop to think chat a general pros
perity can only be based upon fair re-
turns for regular and constant indus
try. Many merchants count it pros
perity If large stocks of goods rise in
value on their hands. In general, the
tendency is to take quite too narrow
and individual a view of the conditions
which are called prosperous.
Prosperity is not real il it is not gen
eral. Gains by one set of men at Tho
expense of another do not improve th'
condition of the country in the least.

rHE WILD HOG oF MEXICO.
A vicious Brute Which Seems to Have
No Notion of Fear.

No Notion of Fear.
"The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary, or wild
hog, of Mexico" says c. w. Bartlett, of
Laredo, Tex. "This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. I
have never seen it turn a hairs breadth
out of its path for any living thing.
Man is its special bette noir. 1t displays
an intelligence in fighting the human
strangely at variance with its apparent
ly complete lack of mental instinct.
They are rarely found singly, but so in
droves of from hundreds to thousands.
Their ability to scentmen is particular
ly marked. 1 have known drove of
them to scent n man n mile off and
strike as straight for him as an arrow
flies. There is no use to try to frighten
them with guns. The cannonading of
q full battery would have no more effect
on them than the popping of n fire.
cracker. The only thing to do when
they get after you is to run away from
them as fast as a horse can carry you.
And then there is no certainty that
they won't catch you. They are near
" as swift as a horse and their endur-
ance is as great as their viciousness.
"a friend of mine encountered n
drove of them in a wild part of Mexico
few years ago and his escape was
miraculous. He very foolishly shot and
wounded a number of them. Then he
took refuge in tree. The peccaries
kept him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled round
the tree, grunting and squealing their
delight at the prospect of a feast. He
soon exhausted his ammunition and
brought down n peccary at each fire.
But this had no terrors for the beasts.
| Along toward morning the brutes be-
! gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
] when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour
they would have guarded that tree un-
til my friend, through sheer exhaustion,
dropped from his perch and allowed
them to make a meal off him. The
wildcats and tigers that infest the Mex
lean wilds fee from the peccaries with
instructive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path Louis Re

A species of baboon fnhabiting the
colony Of the Cape of Good Hope has be-
come pest to the farmers by destroy
ing their lambs. The baboons haunt
the clumps of cactus scattered through
the fields and exhibit much cunning in
keeping out ofthe reach of their human
enemies. 1t is asserted that they have
taken note of the fact that women do
not carry firearms. and therefore need
not be feared. But when a man appears
the balloons instantly take TO their
heels. On this account the farmers have
lately devised the plan of dressing in
women's apparel when they set out to
shoot baboons.-Youth's Companion.

De.ert problem solved.

The most important feature of the
present Anglo-Egyptian expedition
against the Mahdi is the successful
sinking Of wells in the desert between
Wady- Halfa and Abu-Hamel. The
presence of water at such distance
from the Nile has never been sus-
pected, either by Europeans or natives.
and bids fair to revolutionize not only
the desert tribes, but the entire condi-
tons of desert life. Indeed, the prob
lem of converting the great African
deserts into fertile territory seems to
be at length in fair way toward So
luton, not by means of letting in the
sea, as proposed by Count de Lesseps,
but by the sinking of wells. Water is
evidently to be found everywhere in
the African deserts, provided one digs
deep enough.-New York Tribune.
