Rey yolusion Against Castro is
Gaining

W1LLEMsTAD. Island Of Curacao,
Feb. 10.-General Andrade, the
former President of Venezuela, who
reached this island recently, en-
barked on board the revolutionary
steamer Libertador during the
night Of February 7 8. The Liber-
tador landed force OF insurgents
on the Venezuelan coast, and they
subsequently took possession of the
village Of Cumarebo, situated near
La Vela de Coro. The Venezuelan
gunboat General Crespo, which at
tempted to prevent the nding, was
fred upon and badly damaged by
the Libertador. The Crespo had
her propeller shaft broken.
The success OF the Libertadof,has
caused sensation at Caracas,
where great commotion prevails.
The news received there from the
interior OF Venezuela is not favora-
bic to the Government. 1t is an
nounced the insurgents are very
active, especiallyin the vicinity Of
Barqueslmito.
The revolution against President
Castro is gaining ground visibly.

Judge little has finally imposed a
fine OF 500 upon Sheriff Andrews
for being in contempt in not turning
over moneys collected as fues, for
FIXTURES and coats to the Circuit
Court clerk as imposed by the said
judge. This sentence was imposed
last Thurday morning. 1t may be
right, as the Sheriff declined to
obey a mandate of the Court, but
from our way Of thinking, this looks
rather improper and funny to say
the least.

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
Derringer That Belonged to the Fa- mous Illinois Statesman Has
 Been Located.

A Derringer pistol, with an unusual history, has come into the possession of Col. Walter French, the file clerk of the house of representatives. He found it not long ago in a pawnshop and promptly observed that the in scription on the handle of the weapon, IS. A. Douglas 7 was probably the name of Stephen A. Douglas, long a prominent democratic figure in con- gress in the ante-bellum times, says the Washington Post.
 Having purchased the weapon, he made inquiries from Col. James Madi- son Cutts, of this city, kinsman by marriage of MT Douglas, who recog- nized the Derringer as one of pair that MT. Douglas owned during the ex- citing political events preceding Lin- coln's inauguration. It seems that 8 pair of these pistols, such as men were accustomed to wear in those days, one in each of two small top pockets in the trousers, was, presented to MT. Douglas by the superintendent of the Harper's Ferry arsenal. These were subsequently, taken to Louisiana, where it was discovered that the springs were fashioned so that the hammer would not explode the per cussion cap. This defect in mechanism was corrected
 In just what manner the pistol was secured from the possession of Mir. Douglas is not known. Coll Cutts has the mate to it, which the great demo- crat presented to him.

day. She and her husband were in the pasture on their farm in the Redmond vile neighborhood. A short distance from them was wire fence, and they proposed to each other to run race and see which could cross the fence first.
 When they reached the fence Mrs. Arnold attempted to crawl under it. Justjas she was in the act of getting down on the ground a moccasin crawled into her dress at her throat. She saw the snake when it entered her dress, and Instantly she grabbed it in the folds of her garments and screamed Her husband ran to her and attempted to pull the snake out by it's tail Mrs. Arnold held it so firmly that MT. Arnold pulled it in two.
 s'In getting the upper portion of the reptiles body from his wife's dress, one of the snakes fangs stuck into one of MT. Arnold's thumbs, but for tunately there was no poison on it, and MT. Arnold felt no bad effects from it. They were both terribly frightened, and well they might be, for it was & narrow escape from deadly bite.

TDf I1Tif9Fp Tf7if INV sTVF9f Ancient Sky8Crnue

Numerous conflicting estimates have been made of the height of the Tower of Babel, but one fact never has been denied, and that is that it was a skYscraper. St. Jerome, in his com mentary on Isaiah, says that the tower was already 4,ooo paces high when God came down to stop the work. A pace is about two and a half feet, therefore 4,000 paces must be 10000 feet; con sequently Babel was 20 times as high as the Pyramids (which are, only 500 feet). Father Calmet says the tower was s1,o00 feet high and that the lan- guages were confounded because the architects were confounded, as they did not know how to bring the building to a head. Moreover, it is understood that the Chinese language of today was originally the same langua9e as the high German.-N. Y. Press.

Corruption Scandals.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1.--Mayor A. A. Anes, now at West Baden, Ind, has decided to resign his office, the res ignation to take effect Sept 6. The let ter will be read to the common council at it's next meeting. The mayor post pones his nominal retirement to save the city the expense of special cleo tion, which would have to be held if the resignation took effect earlier.
 The mayor has also agreed to secure the resignation of his brother, Colonel Fred W. Ames, superintendent of po- lice. He was brought to these terms by the visit to West Baden of Police Captains Charles R. Hill, who will be acting superintendent. and John Fitch cite. He does not have the power while out of the city to perform the func- tions Of mayor, but he wired Acting Mayor Fred M. Powers to secure the removal of the chief and wired the chief himself, advising resignation. Al derman Powers has agreed to carry out the wishes of the mayor.
 This is the climax of the police cor ruption scandals which have agitated this community and occupied the grand jury and the courts for two months. Mayor Ames is in failing health and may not return to Minneap oils at all unless forced to do by the courts

REPROyING "A NOISY DOC.

At the sheep dog trials at Troutbeqk one of the shepherds lost his temper completely because his dog, young one, little over year old, gave tongue when the sheep refused to do his sbid- ding. It is against the rules and regu- lations for a dog to bark during the trials, and as the young dog. broke these rules, his masters voice came ringing through the air. He cried out angrily, "Shoot yo' mouth, will : ye! Hae ye nowt better to do than yowl? What'n yon people thing on ye, ye miserable rowling tyke! I'll make it proper hot for vt, an I get ye hame, cor Pm greatly mistaken" Whether or not he made it proper hot for the dog was not known, but the people said his anger was to some extent justi6ed.-A.

TO WE'D THE UGLIEsT MEN.
Society of Lovely American Girls Which Has Been Formed for
 That Purpose.

Extremes meet in the fick1e fem mine fancy. The attractiveness of the Adonis for women is not to be compared with that of the man who is so fearfully and wonderfully ugly as to serve as a living confirmation of the truth of the Darwinian theory regarding the descent of man, says the New York Herald.
 A bevy of lovely American girls have formed a society, the object of which is to search the land for the ugliest men to be found outside museum and, when found, to marry them as soon as possible.
 Ever since the time when Mira beau, the ugliest of all Frenchmen, had his host of female admirers really hideous men have been wor- shipped by women. :.
 This extraordinary fondness of women for extremely ugly men is seen when some especially villainous looking criminal, accused of par- ticularly atrocious crime, is exhib- tied in the dock and immediately be- comes the idol of all the women who attend the trial. The more hideous his appearance and the fouler his misdeeds the more enthusiastic is the worship of@he women.
 "He is so delightfully."- ugly" said pretty girl, when asked what par ticular fascination a brutal criminal possessed for her.
 It is a fact that in all ages and countries this strange feminine ten dency has been strikingly demon strated
 No explanation that seems plallsi- ble has ever been given.

CROMWELL's SKULL.
Part of the Great Protectors Remains
 Said to Be in Museum.

Part of the Great Protectors Remains
 Said to Be in a Museum.
 Some of the baby clothes of Oliver Cromwell were recently sold at auc- tion in London. Among them a lace hood. It is queer to think how serene ly unconscious the mother was at the time this hood was made to adorn the baby's head, which was destined to pass through more awful experiences in history, both before and after it died.
 The mother little dreamed that this small bit of lace covered a head that would upset a thousand years mon archy; and then, after governing a nation with it's nod end in deeper humiliation than any other has ever experienced.
 These clothes of an innocent baby seem odd, in view that history records that Cromwell's body was .embalmed and lay in state at Somerset house dressed in royal robes and with a crown on the head and with q 4scepter in one hand and globe in the other.
 Then it was buried with civic, pemp in Westminster Abbey from which it was dug up little more than two years later and treated with every in- dignity that revenge could sugaest.
 The head was cut off and pilloried on the tower at Westminster for twen- ty-five years, when it was blown down.
 A sentry found it and secreted it in his chimney corner, only disclosing it's hiding place when he was at the point of death
 The head was easily identified, for it is the only head that ever was cut off after it was emba1med. Besides there was part of the oaken staff Of the staff was perforated by worm which only attacks oak after long exposure to the clements.
 The head was sold to MT Russell, in whose family it remained for some generation. At length an ,fmpecunious member of the family exhibited 1t for money and then sold it for about a thousand dollars to three men to use for the same purpose.
 The head was finally sold to MT Will kenson, in whose family it still re- mains, Horace Wilkenson, of Seven oaks, Kent, being the present owner.

The Mystery of walamo.

Some interesting additions to our knowledge, not only of geography but of anthropology, may be expect ed from the expedition of MT. w.

Among the curious places to be explored is the district of Walamo, reputed to be infested with devils. Mir.
