expressed by conservative people that it

cation of this more convincing than any
other is the TACT that the large interests

Silver League are determined to have

candidates for their three positions.
Handy is ole Of the disturbing factors and
his two years term In Congress has only
wettod his ambition to sit in the United
S,ates Senate. He is backed to large
extent than any other candidate by the
silver men. John BlGgs has large fol-
lowing amongst the silver men, while
John G. Gray is willing that the Senator
al lightning should strike In his direction.
Willard salisbury is building his fences

On every side In the Malay wilds the
traces of the beasts-which here live
as secluded, as safe from molestatOn,
as did their ancestors in preAdamite
days-are visible on tree trunk, on
beaten game path and on the yielding
clay at the drinking places by the hur-
rying stream. Here Il belt Of mud nine
feet from the ground shows that an
elephant has rubbed his itching back
against the rough bark Of tree, and.
see, coarse hairs are still sticking in the
hardened clay. There long sharp

marks the passing of rhinoceros.

over me what he meant. He was look

Somewhere, then-I omitted to inquire
where-this Is their vulgar name. In
Franconia the people call them Benja-
Minis, which has pleasant Biblical
sound-better than nosebleed, at all
vents-though, to my thinking, tril-
lium is preferable to either Of them
both for sound and for sense.

rats .. : wreck

4 Rats on . Wreck. ---y-> -
! A correspondent Of the Newcastle
Chronicle describes a striking scene
witnessed at the breaking up Of the
vessel Gothenburg City on st. Mary's
island, off the coast Of Northumber-
land.
The vessel might have been sailing
comfortably out of harbor for aught
that appeared except that there was
no sign of life on board. We had no
sooner put foot on deck, however, than
we were furiously attacked by swarms
Great, hungry, lank. lean looking
rats, many Of them with their tails
cheWed off, swarmed up from below in
hundreds and thousands, squeaking
and squirming over each other In
manner sickening and horrible to be-
hold.
Those of us who had stepped on deck
ran to the rigging, while the Others
scrambled hurriedly back into the boat.
Our position in the rigging was dan
gerous in the extreme. 1t was more
than ones life was worth to attempt
to run the gantlet of those fierce, starv-
ing rodents, and to remain in the rig
ging was equally impracticable.
At last we cut off some loose ropes
knotted them into convenient lengths
and, SO armed, descended and fought
our way through the squealing hordes
and eventually succeeded in beating
passage to the boat.
1t seemed as if the rats knew the I'M
pending fate of the vessel, for they no
sooner saw us over the side than they
began to swarm down the ropes and
try to enter the boat. 1t was with diff
Guilty that we could beat them off be-
fore casting clear. And they squeaked
in horrible manner as we rowcd
away.
A few hours later the GOthenburg
City went to DieceS.
