A Battle Between ft Bulldog aid ft Bon. Detroit, Mich., July 2. Keiterof this city recently imported an English bulldog, warranted never to open its jaws when once they had closed on an enemy. Keiter was very proucLof his purchase and exhibited it frequently to a select circle of friends. Itecently the dog was given a corner in the sta ble where Mr. Keiter also kept a fast running horse. Yesterday Keiter locked the two animals in the barn and went away oe an excursion. When he returned he opened the barn door and .JCaa horrified to find the horse on the floor nearly dead, while hanging to its under jaw, from which the flesh had been torn away, leaving the bone almost bare, was the bulldog, alive but badly bruised. Mr. Keiter called in his friends and at once set to work to relieve the horse of his terrible antagonist. The dog was choked, kicked, pounded, burned with hot irons and a wedge driven into his jaws, but all to no pur pose. Finally an axe was procured and the dog's head chopped off. Then it was difficult to loosen the grip. The horse was gotten to his feet and an ex amination made, lie will probably diet His Bkin was torn from his body in many places where the dog had evident ly tried to fasten his teeth, and he. was scarred from head to foot. The dog had evidently had one hold, on the horse's breast for there a large piece of flesh was torn out. It had been a bat tle royal. Probably the dog, after breaking his rope, had wandered into the stall and coming too near his heels had been kicked. Fie retaliated with his teeth and the fight began. There was hardly a whole bone left in the dog's body and the horse will not be good for anything if he lives. Dedicating WUoonila Koaameata. Gkttysbuko, June SO. Wisconsin dedicated her seven monuments to-day on the Gettysburg battle field. The exercises were held at Reynold's grove and within a few feet of where that general was killed during the first day's engagement, when Capt. L. E. Pond, president of the commission, called the gathering to order and transferred the monuments to the representative of the governor of Wisconsin. The level space before the stand was crowded with the veterans of fie Wis consin regiments. Gov. Husk was not present nndthe state treasurer. Col. II. ii. Harshaw, accepted the monu ments on behalf of the state. United States Senator Spooner then delivered an eloquent oration. The monuments were formerly presented to the Gettys burg Battlefield Memorial Association by General Lucius Fairchild. General iaircbild spoke with great feeling and many of the veterans were moved to tears. Governor Beaver as ex-ofncio president of the memorial association. received the memorials in the name of the association, promising to guard and protect them. In is closed the formal dedicatory exercises, but a number of speeches were made by prominent Wis consin men. The seven Wisconsin monuments are splendid structures and are those of the third, fifth, second, seventh, sixth, twenty-sixth and Company G, 1st regiment sharpshooters. This af- ternoon the n isconsin men will meet at their camp, and after visiting all of their monuments will return to the east slope of the round top. where the brigade memorial is. and there hold the dedicatory exercises. Governor Green will deliver the oration. This evening the Grand Army of the Republic veterans will arrive and to morrow the reunion proper will be gin. General Longstreet was in atten dance at the Wisconsin dedication this morning and Colonel Bender of the fa- . mous sharpshooters was also present. The weather is splendid. The clouds broke at 10 o clock this morning. abeat to Csma U aa Bad- New York, June 30. Much inter est was felt yesterday among the iron men in this city in the resuh of the conference of the manufacturers and men at Pittsburg. Charles N. Klr- chofl, editor of the Iron Age, who has , watched the proceedings in Pittsburg cioseiy, said to a 4. imes reporter yes terday that the manufacturers have been williug all along to make some concessions on factory rules and ex tras, nut nave insisted upon tne S5 per ton basis. The committee from the men after long deliberations finally de cided to submit their own scale and that of the manufacturers to the sub lodges of the amalgamated association for the consideration of the members. A lodse vote was to be taken then, and if two-t Inula were in favor of the manu facturer' s-ale it was to be accepted; If not, the men determined to insist upon the adoption of their own scale ly the manufacturers. This action. jur. rvircnou saia, was a decided at vance on the methods formerly in vogue, i. ne committee rrom the men heretofore had met the manufacturers' committee and had decided their dif ferences themselves, but under the new arrangement the scales in dispute were to go to tne men and the inanu , iaciurers were to be allowed to reason with their own metl. In thia wav the manufacturers hoped to be able to Con- . vinoe tneir own empioves Of the n.-s sity fot a reduction. One advantage of this arrangement was that the two patties to the contract were orutiunt directly into contact with each uthVi and the arguments if either a Me wwe not weakened by being carried through pommtttaes of a mora or ltt partial tendency one way or - another. Mr. Kirchotf believed that the finishers. more intelligent class of men than the puddlers, were acquiring greater in fluence among the men. and might to some extent counteract the influence of the loud-voiced and belligerent pud dlers, who are always in rarer or i strike as a mems of settling a griev ance. - THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.' CamxreeelAaial iree4Iaiai utt Other lie ana r Nat. SENATE. .Washington, June 30. The senate met at 11 a. m., with less than a dozen senators present and resumed the con sideration of the river aud . harbor bill. An amendment directing a survey for a ship canal to Lake Michigan near Chicago, was agreed to, as was also one directing the secretary of war to locate a canaj from the Illinois nver at Hennepin to the Mississippi river at the mouth of Rock river. The latter amendment caused con siderable debate as to whether its adoption committed the government to the construction 01 the canal Some, senators held that it did and others contended that it did not. - The following amendments, among otnera. were also agreed to: Increasing the appropriation for the Mississippi (from the head of the passes to the mouth of the Ohio) from 12.000.000 to $2,600,000; increasing the aDDrooriations tor the canal at Cas cade. Oregon, from 175,000 to 1300,000; for the mouth or tne Columbia river. Oregon, from 350,000 to $,500,000; in creasing a provision for an examina tion and survey (but making no appro priation) of the Osage river, Missouri, (with a view of constructing one lock and dam.) The last amendment to be acted up on was the insertion or a provision abolishing the Missouri river commis sion. Vest spoke of the utter decay of commerce of rivers and canals, there not being a single steamboat on the Missouri river between Kansas City and St. Louis; that was something be yond the power of congress to prevent because time was the great element in commerce. He recognized, however, that canals and rivers were immeasur ably valuable factors in checking the exorbitant rates of railroads and there fore he favored them. The amend ment was agreed to. The bill and amendments were then reported from the committee of the whole to the sen ate and the amenements on which sep arate votes were not asked were agreed to. Separata votes were demanded on the Hennepin canal amendment and . . the. . amendment . abolish ing the - Missouri river com mission, but there being no quorum present no turtner - pro gress was made with the bill and the senate proceeded to executive business. After the doors were reopened tne conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was presented and agreed to; the only question between the two houses had been the senate amendments for the appointment of a commission to visit and report upon the upper Congo basin. The result of the conference is a substitute for the amendment appropriating $4,000 for the salary and expenses of a commercial agent at noma, in tne lower ixmgo basin, w ltn authority to visit and report upon the commercial resources of the upper Congo basin and its openings for trade with the united btates. Private -pension bills were taken from the calendar and passed, all of them house bills, except one senate bill, increasing the pension of the wid ow af Major-General G. K. Warren to $100 per month.

In reply to the address of the cheir spokesman General Harrison said: ' Coitalbn MrreitKLi.

The comradeship of war will never end until our lives end, the fires In which our friendship was united and welded were too hot for the bond ever to be broken. We sympathize with each other In the glory of the common cause for which we fought. We went not as partisans, out as patriots into thia strife which . involved national life. I am sure that no army was ever assembled in the world's history that was gathered from a higher impulse than the army of the union. Cries of a'right! right!" It was no sordid im pulse, no hope of spoils that induced these men to sever the tender asso ciations of home and forsake their business pursuits to look into the grim face of death with unblanched cheeks and firm and resolute eyes. They were the kind of men who drew their impluses from the high springs of truth and duty. The army was great in its assembling, it came with an impulse that was majestic and terrible. It was as great in its muster out as in the brilliant work whieh had been done in the field; when the war was over the soldier was not left at the tav ern. Every man had some humble place acquired by some fire side where he was loved and towards which his heart went forward with a quick step .applause ami so this great army that had rallied for the de fense and preservation of the country was disbanded without tumult or riot or any public disturbance. It had cov ered the country with the mantle of its protection when it needed it. as the showers of spring cover the early vegetation, and when the warm sun of peace shown upon it it disappeared as the snow sunk into earth to refresh and verifv the Bummer's growth. They found their homes, they carried their brawn and intellect into all the pursuits of peace to stimulate them and lift them up. They added their great impulse to that great wave of prosperity which has swept over our country. Applause. But iu nothing was this war greater than in that we led a race into free dom and brought those whom we conquered in the (Struggle, into the full enjoyment of a restored citi- zensnip and snared again with them the responsibilities and duties of a re stored government. Applause. 1 thank vou to-night most sincerely for this evidence of your comradeship; tnanK especially those friends who differ with me in their political views, that they have put these things aside to-night and have come here to give me a comrade's greeting. Applause.! May I have the privilege now without detaining you longer of taking you by the hand, every soldier here. Ap plause. Qtneral 8hrldan on Hii Waj to Nonquitt. Washington, June 30. General bnenaan was removed from his resi dence in this city about 11 o'clock this morning to the United States steamer Swatara lying at the navy yard, and apparently suffered little pain or in convenience from the trip. A smal crowd had gathered in front of the house to catch a glimpse of the sick man when a red cross ambulance drove up about 10:45 a. m. A few minutes later General Sheridan was placed on a low cot with handles on either side like a stretcher and brought down stairs from his bed room in the second story by five of his orderlies and placed in the ambulance. Doctors O'Reilly and Matthews and his brother, Colonel Sheridan, entered the ambulance and accompanied him to the vessel. Mrs. Sheridan, with Colonel Kellogg, Mrs. Lyde Keeker and the two nurses en tered carriages and followed the ambu lance. The general was placed in the ambulance on the cot feet, fore most. On the way down the general conversed freely with his attendants and frequently asked the condition of the weather and the prospects of its changing; how far it was to the navy yard and how soon they would leave after arriving there. lie appeared to be cheerful and did not seem to be fatigued from the ride. When the ambulance arrived at the dock, six sailors lifted the cot out of the ambulance and carried it over the starboard side of the vessel; the gen eral was then carried into the captain's cabin ' which is sit uated on the spar deck and put in his swinging cot. A 1 o'clock Captain McGowan took the bugle and gave the necessary orders for getting under way and at 1:10 o ciock as tne t.iilft was at its highest noint the haw sers were cast loose and the-sbip swung out of her dock amid the waving of hats from the captain. Doctors O'Rei- lev and Matthews, who stood on the ceeded slowly down the river on the wav to Nonquitt, It was noticed as the stretcher was carried over the side that General Sheridan was very pale and his face appeared to be almost as white as the uillows upon which bis head rested He was much fatigued, but no more so than might reasonably be expected after such a severe illness, but that bis plucky spirit still held out was evi denced by the grim determination to conquer his ailment that sat upon every feature, lie was suitably domed to meet the rather damp, fresh air in a heavy checked flannel dressing gown and skull cap. At every step of the trip the doctors watched their patient with untiring vigi lance, wrapped to the chin in a heavy blanket he would at times open wide his half-closed eyes and turn them toward one of the doctors, who would instantly bend over to catch his words and supply his wants. One of the comical incidents of the embarkation was the effort of a photographer to perpetuate a scene in the shape . of an instantaneous photograph, in some wav he had slipped past the guard at the gate and taking up his position near the vessel nan prepared tor a shot." Just as the cot appeared near the gangway Colonel Blunt saw him and called out "here stop that;" nt the same moment with piesence of mind Captain Mcuowan rushed over where the photographer was and flung bis cap over the tell tale lense and the intruder was promptly expelled from the yard, but there is a variance of opinion touching the success of his en terprise. The photographer declared that he had nis negative and the offi cers held he did not catch it. The voyage will probbaly occupy sev eral days. The party which accompan ied General bneridan consisted of Drs O'Reilly and Yarrow, Mrs. Sheridan and two nurses. IlUea by FUt-Cu-i. Butte. Mont., July 2.

I assure you that nave a sincere respect for and a very aeep interest in tne colored population of the United states. 1 was born upon tne umo nver, - whicn was tne bound ary between the frets state of Ohio and the slave state of Kentucky. some 01 my earliest recollections re late to the stirring and dramatic inter est whieh was now and then excited by the pursuit of an escaping slave or the hope of an offered reward. I re member as a boy one wandering through my grandfather's orchard at North Bend, and in passing through an aiuer tnicset tnat grew on its mar gin, saw sitting in its midst a colored man with a frightened look of a fugi tive in bis eye and attempting to satis fy his hunger with some walnuts he had gatnereu. lie noticed my ap pearance witn a nerce, startled look to see whether I was likely to betray him. 1 - was frightened mvself and left him in some trepidation, but 1 kept his secret, Cries of "Good j Good." I hae seen the progress which has been made in the legislation - relating to your race and the progress that the race itself has made since that day. When I came to Indiana to reside the unfriend ly blac k code was in force. My memory goes back to the time when colored witnesses were first allowed to appear in court In this state to testify in cases where white men were parties. Prior to that time, as you know, you had been excluded from the right to tell in court under oath your side of the story in any legal controversies with white men. fCries of "I know it."l The laws permitted your coming here. In every way you were at a disadvantage even in the free states. I have lived to see this unfriendly legislation re moved from our statute books, and the unfriendly sections of our state con stitution repealed. I have not only lived to see that, but to see the race emancipated and slavery extinct. icnes of "Amen to tnat. J JNotnmg gives me more pleasure among the great results of the war than this. His tory will give a prominent place in the story of this great war, to the fact that it resulted in making all men free, and gave to you equal civil rights. The imagination and art of the poet, the tongue of the orator, the skill of the artist will be brought under contribu tion to tell this story of the emancipa tion of the souls of men. Applause, and cries of "Amen!" Nothing gives me so much gratification as a republi can as to feel that in all the steps that led to this great result, the . republican party sympathized with you, pioneered for you in legislation and was the architect of those great measures of relief which have bo much ameliorated your condition. Applause. 1 know no where in this country of a monument that I behold with so much interest that touches bo deeply my heart as that monument at Washing ton representing the proclamation of emancipation by President Lincoln, the kneeling black man at the feet of the martyred president with the shackles falling from his limbs. I remember your faithfulness during the time of the war. I remember your faithful service to the army as we were advancing through an unknown coun try. We could always depend upon the faithfulness of the black man. Cries of "Right you are." He might be mistaken, out he was never false. Many a time in the darkness of night have those faithful men crept to our lines and given us information of the approach of tne enemy. -1 snail never forget a scene that 1 saw. Sherman's army marched through a portion of Carolina, between Raleigh and. Rich mond, where our troops had never marched before then. X he colored pea- Ele had not seen our flag since the anner of treason had been set up in its stead. As we were passing through a village the colored people marched out once more to see the starry ban ner, the emblem of promise and secur ity of their emancipation. I remem ber an aged woman over whom nearly a century of time must have passed, pressed forward to see this welcome banner that told her that her soul would go over into the presence of her God. I remember her exaltation of spirit as she danced in the dusty road before our moving column, and, like Miriam of old. called upon her soul to rejoice in the deliverance which God bad wrought by. the coming of those who stood for. and made secure, the proclamation of emancipation. Ap plause. J 1 rejoice in all that you nave accom plished since you have been free. I recall no scene more pathetic than that which I have often seen about our camp tires, ivn aged man, a iugitive from slavery, nau found freedom in our camp. -After a day of hard work, when taps had sounded and tne ngnts in the tents were out, I have seen him. with the spelling book that the chaplain had given him, lying prone upon the ground, taxing ins old eyes and pointing with bis hardened finger to the letters of tne aipnaoet as ue en deavored to open to his clouded mind the avenues of information and light.

Ooaoftraing ta Lok-.t- . ' Pittsburg, July 2. Two more sig natures to the amalgamated scale were reported this morning, they were the Laitghlin Iron Company, of Leech- buig, Pennsylvania, and the Findlaj Iron Company ..of Findlay. The recep tion of the news was the occasion of considerable rejoicing about the work men's headquarters, but according to the manufacturers the action of these firms was discounted before the lock out began. The lock-out does not affect every workman in need around the mills as has been reported of those departments that are. not governed by the amalgamated association scale will continue m operation.

Til Kaxwell Land Grant. Kansas City, July 2. The validity of the Maxwell land grant is soon to be put to a severe test. The Interstate Land company, which, under the lead ership of Charles Goodnight, the Texas cattle king, purchased the Beals grant a few years ago, has just secured the original papers in the Beals grant and will Boon institute in the United States court to dispossess the owners of the Maxwell grant, which is includ ed in the territory comprisiug the Beals grant. The land covers millions of acres in New Mexico, Colorado and Kansaa, and is of enormous value, as a number bf towns are located therein, Trinidad, Colorado, being one of the number. The Interstate company be gun suit in Denver some time ago, but found that their case was worthless! without the original-papers. An agent was sent to Europe to obtain them, and after a year's search he succeeded in finding them, and they are now ready to proceed. The Maxwell com pany Li now engaged in selling $3,000,- 000 worth of bonds secured by its grants. . The Amftlgftmatioa Iroa Lock-Ont- Pittsbtjko, June 30. The old scale amalgamated association expired this evening, and as no agreement was reached the mills were closed down. President Kealing, of the manufac turers' association, said this , evening that a telegram from the Ironton mills shows.bow strong the feeling is among the manufacturers to insist upon iron workers accepting the reduction in wages if they expect the mills to re sume operations. "There will be no conference," he said, "at least the manufacturers will not ask for one. It is said eastern firms who have signed the scale are to be expected to ship the products to the Salisbury market. A manufacturer stated if the lock-out continued for only three weeks this would be the case, as there is but little stock ahead by- Pittsburg firms.

Active work has commenced on a line of rail road from Fairbank, on the New Mex ico & Arizona railroad, a branch of the Santa Fe, to Bisbee, where the famous Copper Queen mines and smelters are located. The road will be about forty miles in length, and. will run through the noted Tombstone mining district. although it will not touch the town of Tombstone. : It is given out that the road is being built by the Copper Queen mining company, but it is quite likely that it will be controlled by the Santa Fe company for the present. It will be intended to simply supply a lo cal demand, but the, probability is that in the near future it will be extended into a rich mining section in Sonoro, Mexico, immediately south of the Bisbee copper mines . .

Bock Island Extensions Through Kan. sas and Colorado. Springfield, Ohio, July 2. The re publicans of the Eighth Ohio district last night ratified here the nominations of Harrison and Morton. Governor Foraker was expected to say something about his action and the action of the Ohio delegation at Chicago, and he did. In a terse a brilliant manner he ex plained the position in which he and other Ohio delegates were placed. Con cerning the statement that he andBome others in the Ohio delegation had been treacherous to Senator Sherman, Gov. Foraker said: "There is Qnothing in my conduct, or in the conduct of any member of the Ohio delegation, so . far as I know, that needs to be screened or defended by any man. On the contrary, for every act, for every word, I challenge and defy criticism of even the most un kind or the most malicious. While there, on the day before the nomina tion was made, I received a telegram from Mr. Sherman, from which I read: "I appreciate your position; think it best for all to stand united. Have de clined the-?' request of McKinley's friends. There should -be a test on Blaine before I withdraw. His nomin ation should be assured before Ohio breaks. Will you accept a nomination as Blaine'sgvoice? (Signed) John Sherman." I answered that as follows:- "I have refused to allow my name mentioned by anybody for anything and do not think it will be mentioned in the con vention, but if it should be it will be without mi consent or approval and if I should be nominated it will be de clined unless you should request me to accept. (Signed) J. B. Foraker." That I put before you only because, as I have 'aid, the misrepresentation have seemed to make it necessary, not for me alone, but for the cause of re publicanism throughout the state, in order that it may be made apparent to every republican in this state that just as John Sherman said, "We saved our honor." Something that was never in any danger, however, of being lost, ex cept only in the imagination of a lot of infernal scoundrels who never had any had any honor to save. Eaathaa Belligerent. San Francisco, July 3. War has broken out in Chinatown again be tween two powerful factions of high binders. A rich old pawnbi oker named Ah Sing Suri, belonging to the See Yup society, purchased a good looking girl in Hong Kong recently and bad her shipped to San Francisco as his daugh ter. Some hard swearing had to be done to get the girl through the custom house, as she was only fourteen years old and evidently a half-breed. Sev eral highbinders of the Gah Sin Sur society of professional robbers and perjurers corroborated the pawn broker's testimony and he was allowed to carry off his prize to Chinatown. A rival highbinder, a headman in the Gah Sin Ser society, resolved to abduct the girl and Sunday night, accompanied by four armed cut throats, he burst into the pawn broker's lodgings and carried her away after knocking the old man on the head so that he lay stunned for an hour. When the pawnbroker recovered he ap peared to the GatvSin Ser highfinders to rescue the girf and incited by pro fessional pride and a reward of several hundred -dollars the highlanCers opened war on the kidnappers. Sever al hot skirmishs haye occurred among half adozen men accompanied with hatchets and pistols.' A detail of po lice have been sent to Chinatown to repress the heathen belligerents.

Judge M. , Tuiev. savb: I think the committee' senate. It looks like an attempt to postpone action until after the election, if the senate comes to a vote on the subject IdoYnot doubt his confirma tion. I certainly hope there are enough republican senators who will rise above such despicable action as that of the committee. It would be different if Mr. Fuller did not stand so high; it will be poor party policy to hang up the nomination of such a perfectly spotless man as Melville W. Fuller. The re publicans will lose votes by it." Baboock'iAllagea" Widow. Chicago, III., June 30. Mrs. Naomi Fairchild, the suddenly self -asserted widow of the rich lumberman Babcock, who was mysteriously mur dered at Gardner, I1L, supposedly by his queer 40-year-old sweetheart, Miss Sarah Dodge, appeared before Judge Knickerbocker again to-day and caused another sensation. Mrs. Fairchild made oath that Babcock owed her for mer husband $10,000 borrowed money. The inference conveved was that Rah. cock, whom everybody thought a bach elor, mameu uie aged Mrs. JTaircbild to stave off payment. He was indebted also to Miss Dodge, to whom he was engaged several years. Mrs. Fairchild says Miss Dodge is not the slayer of Babcock, but refused to say who is the murderer. 8anjBr ICoiiaty Bepsblloani. Wellington, June 30.

"I am the husband of but one wife," said he. "I have, however, been mixed up with a lot of women at different times and they have robbed me of everything I had, and now because I have no more property they take this method of nut ting me out of the way."

V.V, Arnold ar d lit, Phillip Krohn of tnsa WHERE THE CROWS ROOST. Smea at m Koekery HMta of tHe - ble-ooated Bird Xiajfct Tiase. The first . of these two rookeries is situated about two miles east of Syra cuse. Hi. I., in a woods known as "Tamarack Swamp," and lyinjr be tween the Central and West Shore tracks. The second is situated in Ar lington CnHtery at Washington. Both rookeries are nearly equal in size, the one at Syracuse covering about fifteen acres and that at Arlington from ten to twelve. A visit to these roosts in the day time is interesting in the extreme. while another paid at dusk when the birds are coming in is even more so. Shortly after daybreak the vast thron of - black bestirs Itself; first a loud clamor betokens that the birds are awake; then with a mighty shake or two tbey launch forth in quest of the morning's breakfast. Leaving singly, in pairs, by dozens, and in llocks of hundreds, each group wings its way to where the previous day's meals were secured, or starts in "search of new feeding grounds. After thev have gone the roost is a sight indeed. On every hand the trees and gronnd be neath are literally Covered with the excreta of the'birds,. having much the tDDearance of bavins- been nlfiitifullvl bespattered with-whitewash. The air i is foul with the odormiuirled with that 1 of the putrefying bodies of the dead ones that here and there dot the snow, while among the bram-lici as well as on the ground are numbers of indivi duals too weak, emaciated, or other wise disabled to' participate in the flight. These are readily approached, and are often to be caught in the hands. A drive through the surrounding country will now give a glimpse of their daily life' during winter. Any where and everywhere they may be seen, each in search of that w hich alone sustains life, but with the usual frozen condition of the ground this, as a rule, is diflicult to obtain. Up to about 3 o'clock the birds are busy, feeding, and the average person would hardly be lieve that within an hour or eveu less these same birds will be miles away, and in company with tens of thousands of the same species. Having traced them in their daily wanderings, it is in order to visit the roost again" sit night fall and-watch them come in. At the hour above mentioned tlicv begin to arrive either singly or ia flocks, tar rying at times at some ear-at-hand feeding grounds, but noon seeking the vicinity of .the roost. Strangely enough, instead of repairing at once to 1 their night's resting place, they gather in immense multitudes on 'the sur rounding hills; coming as they do from all quarters of the country, the numbers increase until the field's, 1 he trees, and the fences are covered with them. Long after the sun had set they continued to arrive. The uoise is deafening, and when at times they rise and circle about in the air it seems as if the heavens themselves were about to fall. As darkness begins to settle, first a few of the bolder ones enter the roost These are followed by small bunches of fifty or so, aud these iu turn by other companies interspersed with stragglers. Suddenly, with a -noise as of a hurricane, a vast host arises and makes a dive for the roost. These are closely followed bv another, aud still another, until finally the numbers, on the hillsides begin to show some signs of thinning out. As the darkness deepens they come in anyway; down they come cil mell. brushing past the face, almost dying against one, alighting on . tiiu first branch they slrikeagainst (for thev arc now almost .-unable - to see, aud it ia amusing to see hundreds flopping about waiting for luck to throw a brjnch in their way), often within arm's leach. Every tree and branch teems packed with them, and still they continue to pour down, finding a roosi,in: place somewhere, and adding clamor to the deafening babel almnlv existing. Finally all appear to have arrived, anc are busy settling themselves for the night, titter now but so much an a syllable; and. the entire nrinr with re newed cries and in the direst confu sion, take wing and seek another part of the woods, jonly to renew the per formance should the ojMTation be ro- ?eated. : I have never as yet remained n a roost long 'enough "to ascertain whether or not "the birds became ab solutely quiet.- Scientific American.

No one has individual possessions, and but $40 to (100 is allowed to a man aud $25 to $40 to a woman for spending money or personal emolument.

My faith in the sincerity of I democratic professions and platforms has entirely exuded, and I bid farewell to those things I loathe, i. .. free trade, demoralized silver and Grover Cleveland, and go to those things I most love protective tariff, gold and silver as money, the expenditure of our surplus in the United States treasury in payment of our national . debt and for great national objects for which a warrant can be found in the constitu tion; freedom from Canadian seizure of American fishermen; home rule in Ireland, and for any man wnom tne Chicago convention may nominate. I am tor jsew England ana against Old England for America against Great lit itain or any . and all foreign nations for my country first, last and always. I prefer the Republican club of America to the Cobden club of England. I relish the products of American farms under protection, but dislike the products of English farms under free trade. 1 am opposed to any measure, called by any name, that places wool, salt, lumber, hemp, -flax, peas, beans, cabbage, potatoes, seeds, fruits and vegetables on the free list. while England protects figs, prunes, 1 tobacco, tea, rasins, coffee, cocoa, cur- rants, plate, beer, wine and spirits. l am opposed to tjmnese cueap la bor, and therefore oppose free trade that permits the fruits of labor in China to come in competition with the fruits of American labor. I am for American labor, American farm products, American manufac tures, A merican institutions, Ameri can fishermen anything and every thing America produces that comes in competition with the products of for eign countries.
