William Lyell rancher living near
Huffaker's in Washoe county, had con-
siderable of tussel with a wild cat las.
Saturday morning He was out hunting
with couple of dogs. When near the
lower end of his ranch the dogs scared
up the cat, which being pressed hard
turned and stood suddenly at bay, One
ofthe dogs, q shepherd; bounded into it
at once, which action the varmint was
waiting for, as she soon had him down
& biting him savagely. The other dog at
tacking it from the rear, managed to put
the cat on the defensive. At this mo-
ment the animal managed to disengage
herself, and make a rush for Mr.. Lyell,
who had been unable to get shot in for
fear Of killing his dogs. He received
her with the but end of his gun; break
ing it over her, but she undaunted evinced
such strong determination to force the
battle, that he was glad to leave the gun
barrel in her possession. Rallying his
dogs for another onset and grasping the
stock of his gun, his sole weapon, he bold
" advanced to where stood the cat, with
glaring eyes seemingly emitting flashes
of fire, her tail waving impatiently in the
air as in defiance of him. Quick as a
fash the feline sprang at our hero, who
with intrepid courage calmly awaited the
coming event, and met her with a well
directed blow from his gun barrel which
he had managed to regain, laying her
dead at his feet. The cat, on being tax
en- to the ranch was found to weigh thir-
ty.three pounds, and measured three feet

Reading an account of q breathing
cave in northwest California, which
yomits forth impure gases, brings to
mind the tact that from the mountain
behind Soda Bay Hotel, on the shores
of Clear Lake, there is emitted, where
slight excavations have been made, a
draught of ice-cold air, even in the hot
test part OF summer. A tunnel has been
run into the hill in the rear of the hotel
to a considerable distance, for the pur-
pose of striking spring with which to
supply the house with pure water. At
the end of this tunnel, through the in
terstices of rock that seem to be only
laid one upon another, comes draught
Of pure, icy air. In excavating for a
wagon road from the hotel, similar air
holes were discovered at the depth of
only a few feet. So cold is the air that
comes up from these holes that the
W w)rkmen used to keep water-cans over
tne assures, and thus have ON hand a
supply of what, without exaggeration,
might be called ice-water. There Ger.
tainly must be cave in this mountain.

THE Maine Standard in speaking of the
law passed by the last Congress relative to
the currency and the resumption of specie
payment says:


"lt (the law proposes 10 force out of existance
all government paper issues and supply the
vacuum with an unlimited amount of irredeem-
sort OF specie resumption which is TO take place
Jan. l, 1897


The editor of the Standard is a man of in
telligence and consequently knows that his
statement that the bill provides that an ire
deemable currency is to be substituted for
greenbacks, is false, utterly false. The bank
ing bill provides that the national bank cur
rency should always be redeemed in lawful
money or legal tenders. When the green
backs are retired the national banking bills
by law, must be redeemed in coin. Further
than that, for every 800 worth of bills issued
to national bank the government requires
the company to deposit in the treasury 800
worth of bonds payable principal and interest
in gold. 1t does seem as if 800 of gold bonds
should be sufficient to keep 800 worth of bank
currency from being irredeemable. Is the
Standard endeavoring to deceive and alarm
its readers?

THE Bangor Commercial is in anything
but an amiable mood. 1t savagely calls the
Boston Post to account for the few and hesi-
itating words of blame which that journal
has ventured to cast upon the Ohio Demo-
Gratis and their platform. The Commercial
declares that "there is not in the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform, from its beginning to the
end, one single syllable that can be tortured
into imitation" 1t then goes on to berate the
Post and the World for their course during
the canvass, and taunts the former paper on
the slim prospects of the Massachusetts De-
mocracy with their ''golden PLATFORM" Does
this TRADE mean that the Maine Democrats
in the party split so close at hand choose to
cast their fortunes with the Ohio wing? To
outsiders it looks as though the Commercial
in impugning the Democracy of the Post
and World, was squirting that way.

The following is an extract from a letter
written by Baptist missionary to a gen
tleman Of this city, from Tugalo River,
Oconee county, 5. c.:


II left home the 29th Of last month,
came over the mountains rather angling,
where it is twenty-five miles from base to
base; spent a night near the top of the
Bl Ridge, in Hogback Valley. Sabbath
morning threw my saddle-b bags across my
horse, and rode seventeen miles to reach
nay appointment, about eight miles Of
which is not a road, but a steep and rugged
trail, not passing a single habitatiOn.
descended into JocaSsee Valley (thrOugh
which flows White Water River), which |
am told bears the name of an Indian
woman who was in love with a white man,
was disappointed, and left for the 'happy
hunting grounds by leapiug over the
White Water Falls above the valley. l
preached and organized a Sunday-schOOl.
Next day / visited the falls, 3 miles above the
settlements, in a mountain gorge beautiful
and grand. The whole river comes dash
ing over its rocky bed for about a quarter
Of a mile, making two particular falls, and
cascades so rapid that the whole stream is
lashed into foam white as snow, sur
rounded by a mantle of spray, and tanning
the behOlder with breeze as exhilarating
as a mountain zephyr. The irregularity Of
the rocks throws the water into every con
ceiyable form. In one place is a miniature
Niagara, in another a current so rapid that
the fOaming element seems to be making
a race for life, and just beyond prominent
elevation darts the current upward, form
ing graceful curve; the atmosphere con-
denses it into large drops and they fail like
a shower Of diamonds. noticed another,
which rises to height Of eight or ten feet,
making an arch as beautiful as a rainbow.
1t seems to have definite object, for it is
directed with the precision of a freman's
hose and discharges its crystal contents upon
the head of a conspicuous rock below. 1t
moves, not in a solid current, but in un-
equal Jet. One moment it spIinkles the
rock, the next it covers half of it, and per-
haps the third effort washes the whole face
Of it with a copious supply Of tie pure
liquid. This reminds one Of the cleansing
power Of the Holy Spirit. Oh that l
could keep this lruant heart continually
under the stream that flowed from the side
Of our blessed Redeemer. Yet know that
the same hand, which placed this rock, and
directed the cleansing fountain upon it, IS
willing to pour the precious blood Of Jesus
upon me, only [ will stand from under.
This current has fallen upon the rock for
ages, and the supply is not diminished. So
is the pardOning power Of Jesus, exhaust
less.

the letter which purported to come from Au-

letter to the journal categorically denying

the circumstances which led to the misappre-

cussion of this question with everybody who
knows Mr.. Richardson; but we regret to see
that the Bangor Whig treats of the subject as
if it were still open. although the editor Of
that paper cannot have any doubts in his
own mind. When gentleman takes the
pains to make definite and deliberate state
ment of facts over his own signature it is no
less discourteous and unjustifahle to init
mate doubts of its accuracy in public journ-
al than in private discourse and there is no
reason why the editor of paper should not
observe the 81 cial amenities in his public ut
terances which he would never tail to main
tain as private gentleman. We are quite
sure that the editor OF the Wing will, on re-
Election, regret the publication of an asper-

The letter of President Grant concerning
a third term, is to be taken for Just what it
SAYS; 1t bears internal evidence of being an
honest, straightforward utterance, covering
no afterthoughts, liable to no misconstruc-
ton by any who are not anxious to misap-
prehend, needing and permitting no reading
between the lnes.-Prouidence Journal.


The fact that the President says that cir
cumstances might arise which would make
it duty to accept denomination for a
third term, is made the occasion by various
journals for pretending to regard the letter as
evasive. The President is right about it.
While in the main the "unWritten law
which limits President to two terms will
prevail, it is easy to imagine circumstances
where to Insist upon the force of precedent
would. be unfortunate, if not disastrous. "
Suppose, for instance, that President Lin
coin had been in office two terms at the time
of the presidential election in 1864, WoIld
not all precedents have been disregarded or
made subordinate to the work of putting
down the rebellion? Or if Lincoln had lived
and his plan of reconstruction had been
working successfully, might it not have been
considered best for the nation to retain the
President until there seemed less pressing
need for his services? But these are suppo-
sitious cases extremely unlikely to occur, and
80 President Grant regards them. There is
fortunately no prospect OF such emergency
arising next year.-HarBord Courant.


And now with enc pronounced utterance,
he scatters the inflated, distended, hollow
delusion of 'thrd term" The letter is all
his own-in its off-hand, negligent manner
as we'll as in its pointed truths. In every
line it is the unmistakabe coinage of his own
mint. He avails himself of what he believes
the first appropriate occasion to make public
declaration of his views, and he does it in a
characteristic and emphatic way. He de-
clares that he is not and has not been a can
didate for denomination. 1t is frank, ex-

The country will approve OF the
manly position of Mr.. Henderson, as
explained by him yesterday to our cor
respondent at st. Louis. District At
torney Dyer and Mr.. Eaton, who is as.
sociated with them, were present at
the interview, and both indorsrd the
course of Mr.. Henderson. Their joint
attitude is not one of bravado or de-
fiance of the President, but they stand
together Us self respecting lawyers,
conscious of having done no more than
their duty and unwilling to sacrifice
the honor of their profession. Mr.
Henderson caused the stenographic
notes of the impugned part of hia
speech to be exactly written out and
sent to Washington. and while dis
claiming any intention to be offensive,
he said to the Attorney General, 81
stand by the speech as made" BE and
his associates think it u defensible ex-
ercise OF his rights as an attorney, and
it is an awkward business for the
President to punish lawyer for the
proper discharge OF his duty. 1t is
absurd to say that the President was
Mr.. Henderson's client. The Govern
ment was his client, and President
Grant is merely one of its officers. 1t
was the duty of Mr.. Henderson 10 be
faithful to his real client, the Govern
ment, and to protect the interests of
that client to the best of his ability,
whoever might be wounded by the
di charge of his duty. The speech of
\ lawyer in court, like speeches in
Congress, is privileged and cannot be
lawfully called in question elsewhere.
Lawyers are protected from slander
suits from anything they may say in
an argument before court of justice.
They are not irresponsible, but their
responsibility is to the court before
which they conduct their cases. Every
thing they.may do or say is under the
direction of the presiding judge, and
| nobody else has right to call them to
account for anything which he per-
mits. Lawyers are no more accounta-
BILE outside of the court for what they
may say that happens to be offensive
to the President than what's offensive
to any other individual. President
Grant has no more right to punish an
attorney for words spoken in court
than he has to punish the presiding
Judge for allowing such remarks to be
made. Counsel, while subject to the
direction, are also under the protection
of the court, and this is the first and
only instance in the history OF our
Government of Executive interference
with judicial proceedings and a viola
tion of the legal privilege of counsel
to argue cases without other response
bility than that which they owe to the
court, which alone is charged with the
duty of keeping them within proper
limits,
