Hw k Wicke4 Partner BnlMze4 Ilia Weak A foreigner who vent west a year ago with koore money than erperieno. but who is' now returning a wiser albeit a poorer man, recently related to a Chica go reporter the story of his venture in the cattle bnatness. "Why," he said, in talking of s wicked partner he had met in Denver; "he began to bulldoze roe from the 'very time we went into partnership. iWe started out on the range to count our cattle, we two. and took only a darkey cook with us. The first night we camped he proposed that we decide who should be the boss, and I said all right. He then called a meeting, consisting of himself, the darkey book and me, to order and nominated roe, for chairman. I was elected and sat on saddle. xx- . I "Then he moved tha,we proceed to the election of a boss fori the firm and that the eloctdon be by ballot. That motion was . carried, and . he handed around his hat, putting in a ballot for himRplf. I ntarted to vote and he stooned me. savinit that the chairman oonldn't vote unless there was a tie. Well, I thought Id get a chance. to vote any way when the cook put in his ballot, bnt when Boutt handed him the hat the negro said he couldn t write, and X was left without any show at all to get even, and he was ' elected boss.

One catch generally realises 2,000 fish. The 20JOO0 hooks are baited with pieces of meat and lowered to the bottom. It takes twenty boats with two men in each to look after this big catch. Most of :the fish taken from this lake ! are sturgeons, weighing on an average seventy pounds. i . - . X YOUNG WIDOWS IN INDIA. Ban-au-brah, the converted Burmese, who is attracting so much attention in this country just now, says that in India they hare 80,000 young widows between the ages of three and five. He says that they will never bo married, because in India as soon as a child is born a match is made by the' parents. - If the boy dies the girl is considered a widow, and must r main in mourning for her husband as long as she lives. f A luckv FAsnncn Borne men are born lucky. The recent flood in Texas bring one of this class prominently to the front f One farmer whose land was almost submerged found himself when the water subsided the possessor of a raft of wood nearly a mile long by a quarter wide, which drifted on and remained. Nor wss the wood all he got. There were 5,Odo" cedar rails, enough lumber to build a house, bedsteads, washtubs, chicken-coops, several kegs of whisky, and flasks of whisky without end. ' THE BARTHOLDI STATUS. Now that Minister Morton has accepted on behalf of the. United States "the ' Bartholdi statue,- what are we going to do with it ? It is a regular elephant on our hands. The people won't come down with the "dust" to fix up a place to put it, and now the statue is ours it has got to be taken eare -ef. It would seem that the money for the foundation and enough for a posey garden around it anght to hare been subscribed within sixty days after notifi cation. A WHITS RAINBOW IN THE SIERRAS. In the midst of a shower of mingled hail and rain, about 915 yesterday morning, there-was -risible for a minute or two a segment of a rainbow that lacked the usual prismatio colors. It was a belt of pure wlfite, circling across the misty curtain of falling pellets of snow and raindrops. In France, some months ago, the papers had much to say about a white rainbow seen in that country. It was spoken of as a thing tmpreoedentecL Twice within the past twelre months the phenomenon has been visi ble from Virginia City. In neither case, how ever, was the bow a complete semi-circle." CHOLERA. Asiatic cholera, 'when it once enters a coun try, marches on a straight line through it la ftS track t Wva 1aolt! (r5Vi lf?r7- cral tirws when it Dtado its app?a.rar. i in jatrica thot. i .,da U peopui wer auUeuiy carried off without the slightest warning. At first it is generally supposed that the disease la dysentery or cholera morbui, but in the course of a few days all doubts are removed, rrequently when a person is attacked a fatal collapse occurs in one or two hours. On one occasion in India the epidemic struck a train of several hundred passengers, and in a few hours' .time fifty dead people were dragged out. It seems that the resources of medical scdeooe so far have been found unable to ope with this devouring peoiii:?. MONKEYING WITH AN ANCESTOR. ' Professor Beuger wrapped a live fire-eating wasp and a lump iof sugar in a piece of psper and banded the delusive package to an intelli gent monkey to . see if onr much disowned grandfather oould be fooled. Our nimble an cestor opened the document and caught on to the bitter sweet with alacrity, and immediately uttered a shrill ejaculation, Jumped on the table, npset a pirft of ink all over $50 worth of mannsorlpt and drawings, hurled an expensive microsoope through a third-story window, and continued to smash things until he secured the Professor's thumb, which he chewed with intense and growing enthusiasm, until the learned man killed his ancestor with a dub. He then wrote with his left hand that a monkey can be fooled on the first ballot, but it does very little good to fool him. CREMATION AND CHRISTIANITY. A distinguished preacher has been inveigh ing against cremation as unchristian, contrary to the Bihle and utterly barbarous. If the question were open for discussion, he would find H difficult to maintain his point. St. Paul ays: "Though I give my body to be burned aad have not charity, it is nothing," clearly implying tint the custom of cremation pre vailed among the disciples, and in every oeme tery the words' daily heard, "ashes to ashes," carry the same argument. The .question of cremation now is really one of taste, and not of Scripture; in a few years it will be a sanl tarf point, and an important one. Meanwhile a crematory is bniMing on Long Island, and those who wish their ashes to ropose in an urn wit soon have an opportunity of being incin eraied with neatness and dispatch. AN OLD RELIC. MtE.lL Holland, who lives about six miles from Gainesville, Ga., has In his possession a pair tt yam gloves, worn by his father, Bev. MosesHolland, during the surrender of Corn wallisto Washington, at Yorktown, over 100 years ago. The gloves are in a state of per fect p-eservation, hotwithstanding their age, but at me same time they look as if they had seen a rood deal of service. Mr. Holland was a memler of General Washington's command, and a laptist minister for sixty-six years pre viooa to his death. He was married twice and died in 829, at the advanced age of 84 years. Sir. E. K. Holland is his youngest son by his second vife, and is himself nearly seventy earsofige. The last couple that was married by the eller Holland was Mr. and Mrs. E. N. dower, who are at present living in Gaines ville. . ": ' . , WHITE ROCK. Near Bizzard Roost, North Carolina, is a paculiar Xnine of white rock. This rock is ground uj into a fine powder and shipped to New York where it is sold for about $3.50 a barrel. Tie coarser quality is Used to adulter ate grannhted sugar. This eapes without detection a it is said twenty per cent of it can be mixed w.th sugar without discovery. The finer gradet of this powdered rock are used for pulverised mgar, nd family floor. This rook now makes a leading element in aQ of our fancy candies, and is said to be much more harmless than terra alba. .The candies con taining this mineral adulteration are the so called Frenok mixed candies, loaengers of aQ kinds, cheap stick candies,' strawberry drops, bull's eyes, agar bells, and all excessively sweet preparations. The olw or oiystaQaed candies are not Adulterated, A SHEEP CREATES A SENSATION. The naturalists of the Smithsonian institute are quite excited over . the presence of a live, big horn mountain sheep in their midst, for, owing to the great difficulty of capturing this hardy mountaineer and keeping him alive, when Captured, no animal of tills species has, ever before been jseen. east of the Missouri river. This specimen is in fine, healthy con dition at present, aa are all the animals, but it is, not likely to live long in . captivity. It has already distinguished itself by clearing a fence ten feet high at a single bound. It has for a companion a genuine hybrid, or cross between itself and a domestic sheep, covered with a mixture of wool and hair, but more strongly resembling its male parent from the mountains than the domestic species. Mr. Hornaday, the chief taxidermist of the national museum, has secured permission! to photograph the animals, and Sir, Sniellie, the Smithsonian photograph er, will be engaged to-day in taking instanta neous views of the two mountain sheep, for ose in mounting specimens of the' same kind jo display at the Now Orleans exposition. . f i 4 . v" A BATTLE WITH INDIANS. Wilson, brWt ATohnson's cattle ranch, in the western part of Laplata eoxmty, near the Utah line, was attacked by Ute Indians July 3. Ohas. Cook and Adolph Luik,' employes of the cattle 'company, were badly wounded. Five Indians were killed and a number wounded. The whites had eleven horses killed and 100 stolen. The cowboys were driven off their camp, their outfits burned, and provisions carried away by the Indians. The. two Wilson boys, 8 and 1q years old, rode twenty-nine hours without food or rest, and arrived at Durango last night in, an exhausted condition. The TJtes have for some time beeu causing trouble to the cattle men, killing cattle and stealing horses. One of the Wilson men found several of the lafter's horses in possession of the Indians, and under took to secure the same. An Indian attacked him with a knife and was killed. This precip itated the fight. Seventeen thousand cattle are left at the mercy of the Indians. Col. HaL commandant at ; Ft Lewis, has dispatched a company of cavalry to , drive the Tntin back to the reservation. The Indians will probably reach the reservation well supplied with horses and cattle before the soldiers get in reach of them. ; i SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN FAILURES In the six months ended June 80 the liabili ties of failed firms in the United States amounted o tlM,391,282, against, 66,189,034 in 1883, and 950,680,920 in 1883, in the corre sponding period. - The average, therefore, has more than doubled. The Southern States, however, present a relatively cheerful contrast to this remarkable record.

The Senate receded from its amendment to the naval appropriation bill. . . .On motion of Mr. Bayard a vote of thanks was riven to Mr. Edmunds for the ability, courtesy and s impartiality with which he .had perfor -i- the duties of the president pro tempore- Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriation committee, summarized the work of Congress on tho appropriation bills. He said the whols amount of this year's bills in excess of last was $23,030,000. The iexcees arose largely from the fact that t last year we had no river and harbor bill, while this year that bill amounted to $14,000,000. The total appropriations this y ear were $193,201,087.13. In respect to i due i or two fea tures of the naval bill this amount was estimated, but the variation would probably be less than $'300,000 from the amount he had mentioned. This aggregate did not include reapprbpriations, wluch for pensions alone this year amounted to $06,000,000, raising the aggregate to $3591,087.13.
