PRESIDENT CLEVELAND admits that
while upon his vacation up in the
big
woods of New York, he caught some
fish, but dryly adds, "that the number
was not as large, nor the size so great
as he understood had been described
by the newspapers."
Mr. Cleveland
appears not to be a good hand at A fish
story.
RATHEU a queer case occurred at
the St. Louis morgue. Four persons
swore to the id6ntity of the corpse of a
man, one of the number being
the widow of the deceased, but
a couple of days after this event,
the widow's husband returned to his
home in robust health, as large as life
and twice as natural.
A LOBSTER weighing twenty-three
pounds was caught the other day off
the north coast of Cape Cod. One
weighing fifteen pounds was the largest
specimen ever before found, and two
pounds is the ordinary weight. This
monster of its kind measured twenty
four
inches from the eyes to the tip of
the tail and sixteen inches around the
middle.
MRS. MULLIGAN, who succeeds Miss
Ada Sweet, for eleven years pension
agent at Chicago, is the widow of Gen.
James A. Mulligan,whodiedof wounds
received near Winchester, Va., July
26, 1864. He entered the Union army
at the head of the 28d Illinois regiment
and was brevetted Brigadier General
for gallantry and bravery only three
days before his death.
THE United States is the third beer
producing country of the world. At
the last estimate Great Britain was the
brewer of 1,000,000,000 gallons, Ger­
many 900,000,000, the United States
6,000,000. Beer brewing stands sixth
among the industries in this country,
exceeded only in amount of capital em­
ployed by metals, cottons, woolens and
worsteds, lumber and flour. The in­
crease of the production from 1880 to
1885 was 5,000,000 barrels.
AN Eastern writer makes a point of
the fact that at the Presidential elec­
tion of 1880, there were, in the state of
Rhode Island, only 80,000 votes cast,
though the census taken that year
showed the male population of the vot­
ing age to be 75,000, (native born 48,
000, foreign born 27,000,) so that the
vote was less than 40 per cent, of the
male population over 21 years of age,
while in Illinois, with a voting popula­
tion about ten times as great as that of
Rhode Island, the vote amounted to 80
per cent of those entitled to vote. The
cavse of this is doubtless to be found in
the fact that in Rhode Island a voter
must be a tax-paper, while in Illinois
the franchise is not restricted, but is a
free-for-all, as it were.
THE use of steel rails by the rail­
roads in place of iron rails has wrought
a great change in transportation
facilities. Only ten years ago a standard
car-load on all first class lines was
20,000 pounds, the weight of the car
being 20,500 pounds. About five years
ago the weight of a car-load was in­
creased to 40,000 pounds and the car
weight to 22,000. The Pennsylvania
railroad has just adopted cars to carry
60,000 pounds of freight while the
weight of the car is but little increased.
With steel rails three pounds of freight
to one of car can be hauled, instead of
a little more than one ponnd of car to
a pound of freight, as was the rule up­
on iron tracks.

The reunion of the Army of the Tennes­
see occured in Chicago on the 9th and 10th.
Gen. W. T. Sherman presided, and Gen.
John B. Sanborn of St. Paul, delivered an
address. At the banquet, on the evening of
the 10th, Gov.- Pierce of Dakota made a
happy response to the toast, "The nation
first, therefore, let the nations that pretend
to greatness have this, that they be sensible
of wrongs." The following is a pas­
sage from his response: Last fall I
stood before an audience of 2,000 men in
Southern Dakota, composed of veterans of
the war right from the army that fought in
the rebellion. I asked them if they ..were
men that fought with Grant at Schilo, Fort
Henry and in the Wilderness when patience
so faithfully waited for final triumph. I
asked if they were men who marched with
Sherman to the sea, and who were in their
pride when M'Pherson's sword dropped
from his hand and Gen. John A. Logan took
it up. Yoa should have heard the answer.
You should have heard the cheers thatcame
from the hundreds of throats when I asked
that, my friends. These men permeated
this broad land with patriotism. They
bore their great load with no help but faith
and love for their sountry, that has never
decreased by the lapse of years, for their
soil has been enriched by the blood of its
people.
Emery A. Storrs, of Chicago, one of the
leading lawyers of the country, died sud­
denly on the 12th inst., at Ottawa, I1L, of
paralysis of the heart. Mr. Storrs had se­
cured national fame both in his profession
and as an orator in the political arena, la
the Republican National convention of
1S80, he was the orator for the portion of
the Illinois delegation which was finally ex­
cluded from the convention. He supported
Gen. Grant for the third term and, with
the exception of Conkling's nominating
speech, made the oratorical effort of that
memorable convention. The night before
he was voted an outsider he made a speech
which called forth a solid round of ap­
plause, lasting without cessation for three
quarters of an hour.
The President returned to Washington on
the 8th after his vacation. The president's
carriage was in waiting at the depot and
he was immediately driven to the White
house, where, after breakfasting, he settled
down to work. The president, who is well
tanned by the sun, and who appears much
improved by his trip, says that he has had
an excellent time and enjoyed excellent
health. He has not been ill a single day
since he left, and he is at loss to understand
how the report of his serious sickness orig­
inated.
Washington Court House, in Fayette Co.,
Ohio, was visited by a terrific cyclone on the
evening of the 8th and the town was liter­
ally wrecked. Ten or fifteen persons were
killed outright and a multitude injured,
while the damage to property in the town
and county exceeded a million dollars. The
same night portions of Michigan were vis­
ited by a clyclone doing great damage.
Miss Ada Sweet who for the last eleven
years has been pension agent at Chicago,
has resigned to take charge of an agency
for electric apparatus in New York. Mrs.
Mulligan, widow of a deceased army officer,
has been appointed to the place.
There was another attempted yacht race
between the American yacht Puritan and
the English Geneta on the 11th over the
Sandy Pook course. Owing to the lack of
wind the race was a failure,but the Puritan
was ahead as far as they went.
The reunion of the Army of the Tennes­
see occurred in Chicago on the 6th and 10th.
Gen. W. T. Sherman presided, and Gen.
John B. Sanborn of St. Paul, delivered an
address.
A protest has been filed with the presi­
dent against Morris M. Thomas of Balti­
more, lately appointed Indian agent at
Yankton, Dakota, and consideration will be
given it.
Senator Mahone, of Virginia, has made a
sensation by undertaking to cowhide a Mr.
Hunter, whom he accuses of attempting to
lead his son astray.
Mr. Keiley, the American minister ap­
pointed for Italy, and then for Austria and
rejected by both has finally resigned.
Miss Cleveland has already been paid
$7,500 profits on on her book and expects it
will reach 125,000.
E. A. Rollins, ex-commissioner of inter­
nal revenue is dead.
DAKOTA CONSTITUTIONAL, CONVEN­
TION.
The South Dakota constitutional conven­
tion assembled at Sioux Falls on the 8th
and was called to order by the territorial

Yankton was elected president by acclama­
tion and the following other officers selected.
Secretary, John Cain, Huron assistant
secretary, H. M. Avery, Sioux Falls ser­
geant- at-arms, M. B. Kent, Elk Point.
Henry Neill of Grant county then offered
the following:
Wheras, The sixteenth legislative assem­
bly of the territory of Dakota, assumed the
right to authorize the calling of a constitu­
tional convention for that portion of the
territory south of the forty-sixth parallel,
a movement which ought to have it*? origin
from t'.ie people themselves of that portion
of the territory affected thereby and
whereas, it is not the desire of the people of
this territory that «/.ie same should be divid­
ed and said southern portion admitted sep­
arately to statehood, but that they desire
admission as a whole therefore, be it
Resolved, That this convention do now
adjourn sine die.
This caused a good deal of excitement but
it was promptly tabled by a vote of 59 to
to 12.

TIIURSDAT, SEPT. 10.
The constitutional convention held a short
session to-day, no business of import
tance being transacted except to arrange
for the hours for meeting of the standing
committees. Most of the committees met
and organized during the afternoon and
evening, a few of them doing some business.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 11.
The work in the convention proper to-day
was brief, but all the committees are busi­
ly engaged. The following additions were
made to the committees:
Elections and right of suffrage, Wilcox,
Alexander municipal corporations, Up­
dyke federal relations, Proudfoot: execu­
tive and administrative, Smith, Wilcox
legislative, Proudfoot, Smith.
SATURDAY, SEPT. 12.
At the meeting of the constitutional con­
vention to-day the committee on military
affairs made a report providing for the or­
ganization and equipment of the State
militia. Maj. Hanson, of Yankton, intro­
duced a resolution declaring railroads to be
public highways as well as common carri­
ers, constructed for the convenience and
benefit of the people, and proper subjects of
legislative control, followed by the restric­
tion that no railroad shall pass within a
distance of three miles of any town con­
taining 300 inhabitants without construct­
ing its line through said town and Meeting
proper depots for unloading passengers and
freight iu the usual manner. Owen, of
Kingsbury county, sent up a resolution
prohibiting any railroad or other trans­
portation company from granting free
passes or other special favors to the gov­
ernor of the state, judge of a court of
record, member of the legislature or rail­
road commissioner, the acceptance of any
such pass to work a forfeiture of office.
Resolutions granting woman suffrage and
favoring prohibition were also introduced.

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
The Minnesota State Fair was a grand
success last week, so far as exhibit and
grounds were concerned. The buildings
are fine and permanent and the display
superior to anytblng heretofore aeen
in the State being especially .fine
in dairy products and stock-' The
exhibition was sadly marred by the
weather there being three rainy days out of
the six and as the result the managers con
rr:
tinued the exhibition Monday and Tuesday
this week. The largest attendance any one
day was last Thursday, when 90,000 people
passed through the gates.

KIEL MUST HANG.
The fall court of Manitoba, composed of
Chief Justice Waltbridge and Justices Tay­
lor and Kellam, co-day has given a judg­
ment in the Riel appeal case, disallowing
the appeal and confirming the death sen­
tence passed by the Northwest Territories
court. All held that on the evidence, the
jury could not come to any other decision
than they did. As to the jurisdiction of the
court, it was clearly given power to act, by
a dominion statute, and afterward con­
firmed by the imperial parliament* As to
insanity, they all held the prisoner, while
admitting that he acted strangely some­
times, to be a clever, designing man, who
sought to advance his own personal inter­
ests by using half-breeds as tools. There
is a growing conviction that Riel will be
hanged on the 18th inst.

Incident of Camp Life.
Many of the surviving veterans of
the old Massachusetts Sixth Regiment
will doubtless remember the following
incident of their camp life iu Alexan­
dria. One day a Northern lady whose
noble heart bled to
see
the suffer­
ings of the heroes who were lighting
for their country's houor. visited the
camp just as the "boys" were prepar­
ing their evening meal. A large lire
had been built for the purpose of cook­
ing coffee and toasliug bread. One
poor fellow who was so sick that he
could hardly move crawled painfully to
the lire with a slice of bread stuck upon
the end of a bayonet. He had ap­
proached from the leeward, but did
not have strength enough to crawl out
of the smoke. The lady took the im­
promptu toasting fork from his hand
aud soon returned the bread toasted to
a delicate shade of brown. Looking
up she saw another comrade equipped
iu like manner standiug by her -side,
looking wisfully at the toast and then
at his owh slice of bread. She conld
not re"use this silent appeal and the
second slice was toasted in like man­
ner. Before
she
had left that block of
wood she hud toasted seven or eight
loaves of bread, and the hungry veter­
ans had a feast that reminded them of
home comforts. After the toasting
process was completed the 'ady looked
behind her and there beheld two or
three companies of the regimeut seated
in a semi-circle around her devouring
toast like hungry children. She says
she looks back upon that supper with
the Massachusetts Sir MI Regiment as
one of the pleasantest events of her life.
No Coral InsectB.
This single coral animal (quiteunlike
an insect, and it is quite time for books
to omit that designation—coral insect)
is like the sea anemones, Actinias, or
sea flowers, some species of which we
see
on the rocks of our Northern coast.
It is a small tube of flesh with a stom­
ach, and tenticaclcs surrounding it,
which move about in search of food and
conduct it to the mouth. The nervous
system and blood system arc of the
most simple kind. Of course, in a crea­
ture so low in the scale of life, there is
no head nor are there special organs of
sense, such as for seeing or hearing.
They are popularly called animal flow­
ers. This little creature soon develops
a hard covering or shell,secreting from
its exterior a shell from the lime which
is held in solution by the sea-water,
just as the clam or any shell-fish secrets
the lime which makes theirshells. And
these lime coverings are analogous to
the skeleton of higher animals, though
in one case the lime skeleton is inside
in the other outside. After a little the
soft young coral, having settled itself
upon a solid footing of the bottom
of
the sea, like myriads of others around
it,
exhibits a white calcareous coating
on portions of it, and in a short time
has»deposited
from its
soft
exterior and
partitions of its interior a solid lime tube
with dividing walls. This is a coral
pure and simple.11 A great block
many feet in diameter is no more than
simply a congregation of many of these.
When the little single coral W
perfect
in its lime tube, its buds, and increases
it ,elf thereby, adding constantly either
in this way or by the emission of
eggs.—Corrcxpondfincc New York Even­

There was a com­

The battle was going .on in front, but
we were out of reach of the bullets. I
