WEDNESDAY. FEB. 22,1893.

CLEVELAND hasn't as yet appointed a Cabinet officer with a rebel record. The Brigadiers are howling.

TIMS Senate has passed a bill providing that convict labor shall not be let out to contractors at less than 25 cents a day. It will pass the House.

THS weeds must be cut now along all highways by the road supervisors according to a bill which has passed the Senate. The penalty is S25 for failure.

THE Governor has permitted the McHugh bill, extending the terms of oity officers, to become a law without his signature. The Governor should have had the nerve either to have signed it or placed his veto on it.

THE annexation of Hawaii will bring us some new problems, of course, yet none of them will hardly be as serious or humiliating (is the Populist problem But that problem, thanks to the lunacy of the leaders of that brood in Kansas, will soon be effectively and permanently solved.

SOME of the few Democratic editors who are on the eound money side tire trying to make themselves believe thai their party in the next Congn-es will respect the proclamation of hostility to the Sherman law which appeared in their national platform, and which the same party rejected or dodg#d in the present Congress. The cheerful iaioc of these editors uakes the country .smile. -/:i

RESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND and hip family will travel in imperial splendor to Washington. Apartments have been engaged at the Arlington Hotel and are to be paid for rt the rate of $475 a day. He is to tip his coffee from a cup once used by Nupolean Bonaparte, while his wife will use knife, fork and spoon once belonging to Empress Eugenia. Shadec of Jeffersonia simplicity! Such aping of Kings and potentates will make the third President turn over in his grave.

THE failure of the Wyoming Legislature to elect a Senator compels the Governor to appoint one, who will hold his seat antil the Legislature meets two years hence. The appointee will be Democrat. This will give the Democrats forty-five members, in the Senate ^of the Fifty-third Congress, or enough to put them in control of that of that body, without Populist aid, for the next two years at least. Two States—Montana and Washington— have still to choose Senators, and the

Democrats have thus a chance to secure •i one more member.

THE Supreme Court, when Judge Jackson takes his place, will consist of three Democrats and six Republicans, as it has for several years past. One Demo crat, Field, who is 77 years of age, and and Republican, Blatchford, who is 73 are likely to have their placeB vacated, from one cause of other, during Cleveland's term. These are the only mem bers of the court who will reach the age of 70 during the next four years. If two Democrats are appointed in the pluces of Fieid and Blatchford, and if there be no other vacancies to fill, the court will contain four Democrats and five Republicans when Cleveland steps down.

A Star Stipe.

Ed Corey, our erstwhile pugilist, has been spending a few days at Laporte It is rumored that Ed is to follow the example of his fellow gladiators, Sullivan, Corbett and others, and go on the stage.—Michigan City News.

The stage will open no new field to the accomplished and versatile rib roaster. If tradition lieth not Edward was wont IU the palmy days of his youth before the years drew nigh wherin he could say "I can swipe any man in the State," to act as pupernnmerary inMuBic Hall. He was an excellent scene shifter and can no doubt fill the position again with credit.

Mammoth Hammers.

The sightseer always takes a lively interest In viewing the gigantic triphammers used in the great iron and steel works at Pittsburgh, as well as in watching the results of their titanic blows. The Pittsburgh "pounders," although as large or larger than anything in tho hammer line to be found in the United States, are but pigmies when compared with those used in the great iron works and gun foundries of

Europe. At the.Terni works in Italy there is a hammer weighing fifty tons. It was cast in 1873 and is said to have taken ninety days to cool sufficiently to admit of its being set in position. Alexandrovski, Russia, rolling mills have two sixty-ton hammers in constant operation, and the Creusote works in

France have five fifty-ton hammers and one of eighty tons. This last was cast In 1877, and works above an anvil which weighs one hundred and sixty tons, exclusive of the "block." The Cockerill works in Belgium boasts of a one hun-dred-ton hammer, but Krupp's gun works in Essen, Germany, "goes them one better" with one weighing one hundred and fifty tons. This last hammer lathe largest now in use.

TEXAS ROMANCE.

An Interesting Story of Early Life on the Frontier.

Bow ft. flrare Cowboy's Good Aim Woo for Him a Wife—A Friend la .Veed Who Becam* a ... Friend Indeed.

A story is told by the kew Orleans Times-Democrat of a raid of the Comanche^ in Texas the first of June, many years ago, when the blackberries were ripe.

There was a small settlement in the far -western counties, as they were then called, but now are the ones most thickly settled. The girls of the settlement, three in number, nad wandered far out on the prairie to a little strip of woods to gather a few berries, as there were many, and of the finest kind. They had become so excited over their find and were picking berries so fast that they did not take in the situation. They were far from the settlement, as they had started early in the morning and had not found any berries until the middle of the afternoon.

The oldest was a girl of about twenty, the other two were from nine to twelve.

All at once there was a savage yell and six Comanches came in sight on a little knoll on the prairie, almost a quarter of a mile from them. Almost simultaneously a cowboy rode up to them, lie was armed with a good rifle and a brace of revolvers. He was a stranger to tho girl and they were apprehensive of his presence, when he told them not to scream, that he was their friend and would protect them from the Indians, who were advancing, having espied the girls.

The Indians evidently had not noticed the man on his pony, who was partly hidden behind a thicket. As soon as the Indians were near enough one shot an arrow from his bow at the girls, and all raised a yell. The oldest girl fell, wounded, the arrow having passed through her shoulder. She was losing blood, which fact and fright caused her to faint. The other girls ran to her.

Answering the Indians' yell was the report of the cowboy's rifle and the foremost Indian fell. The other Indians continued to advance, when another shot was heard and another Indian fell. The Indians stopped and parleyed and then advanced still nearer. Another shot and the third Indian fell. The remaining three continued to advance until within a short distance of the girls, when another shot from the thicket prostrated the fourth Indian to rise no more. The other two made a rush for the thicket, as they had discovered where the cowboy had concealed himself.

As they came near he apain fired, and one of the two fell, and the other drew his gun. but the cowboy knocked it out of his hand and knocked the Indian down with his gun. The gun flew out of the cowboy's hand. The Indian leaped to his feet and they clinched. It was sotrie time before either had the best of the other, but the Comanche could not get his gun, as it was too far away, and the cowboy did not like to like to let po his hold on the Indian for fear he would get the advantage of him.

Choosing a favorable opportunity, however, he disengaged one hand, pulled out his dirk, and drove It to the hilt in the Indian's heart. He now came forward, put the wounded girl on his pony, and told the others to follow him. He tried to pull the arrow from the wound of the other girl, but could not without giving her very great pain.

They took the trail for the settlement, which was reached about eight o'clock at night. The arrow was soon extracted by the doctor of the settlement, and the wounded girl was soon out again. The young man bade the young ladies' father good night and left The father gave him a pressing invitation to return. In a few days he did come back, 'just to see how Miss

Lucy Look was getting along." Tom Tubbs, the cowboy, soon became quite a favorite of the Look family. He was a fine fellow and brave. Lucy improved rapidly and was soon up. She was considered the belle of the setr tlement. Many of the boys had tried to win her, but failed. Tom, a stranger of another settlement, had fallen in love with Lucy at first sight when he met her at the blackberry patch. He made other short calls after she was well. It was not long before Tom proposed to make Lucy his wife, and Mr. Look, her father, said Tom had fairly won her by saving her' from the Comanches.

The marriage Christmas day was celebrated by a big hunt, Tom leading the party. Many came from both settlements to honor the occasion and pay their respects to the handsomest couple of the Texas frontier.

A Coitly Wardrobe.

There was an auction sale of a young woman's wardrobe the other day in New York. The young woman was the daughter of a millionaire who died about six weeks ago, the auctioneer said, and she was disposing of her wardrobe because she had to go into mourning. Thirty women and as many men attended the sale. The bidding was lively, but the prices brought were nothing in comparison to the alleged cost. An elaborately-trimmed evening costume of royal purple velvet, with gold embroidtfry, which originally cost, so the auctioneer said, five thousand dollars, was knocked down for seventyfive dollars. A Nile green silk evening dress brought seventeen dollars. A furtrimmed jacket was sold for sixty-five dollars. The other articles were sold at prices ranging from one to fifteen dollars. The entire proceeds were not more than five hundred dollars.

Queer Ammunition.

Bullets made of precious stones are rarities in warfare. But during the recent fighting on the Kashmir frontier, when the British troops defeated the rebellious Ilunzas, the natives used bullets of garnets, incased in lead. The British preserved many as curiosities. $100 Reward $100.

AN ANCIENT MONSTER.

Tta# Modem Sett Serpent a Plcony In Comimrlton. The krnken was one of the sea monsters of old, ami if all the stories told about its wondrous size and doings are true it overshadowed the serpent as the latter does the common garter snake. Dandelaus declares that this marine giant caused tidal waves by swallowing a goodly part of the waters of tho oecti'n and then belching them out again. He also makes mention of the fact that its gigantic horny beak was often mistaken for mountain peaks suddenly shoved into sight by the internal convulsions of the earth. Bishop Pontoppidan, a truthful and saintly member of the Copenhagen royal academy, is much more conservative in his estimates of its size, giving it as his opinion that they were seldom found more than "the haf of an Indian mile in length, and not larger in diameter than tho cathedral at The Hague." He also says that its body was frequently mistaken by sailors for an island, "so that people landed upon it and were ingulfed in a maelstrom of water when the creature sank to its hidden ocean den," Other authorities testify that its beak from the eyes to the point "was longer than the mainmast of a man-of-war.

THE MARVELOUS BACTERIA. of tll«

Reproductive Powers of Many Bptclea Surpnssos Belief. The reproductive powers of many pecies of bacteria is so marvelous a3 to be entirely beyond belief. Prof. Lau says that he has experimented with several uiffcrent forms of these minute organisms that were capable of doubling their number every hour.

When in good condition an average specimen of bacterium will produce 16,7,300 individuals of his kind in the short space of twenty-four hours. In forty-eight hours the offspring from a germ" measuring not more than onefifteen thousandth of an inch, will have increased until the bulk cannot be put into a half-pint measure, the total number of individuals then exceeding 381,500,000,000. If these deductions are correct (and scientists of ability have proven that they are as near as such figures can possibly be approximated from the very nature of the experiment), is it any wonder that "germ" or bacterial diseases are so difficult to control?

Dr. Adametz, the Swiss savant, says that there may be more living, breathing creatures in a piece of cheese weighing a pound than there are inhabitants on the entire srlobe.

A DIFFICULT JOB.

Th» Blending of the Snspeusioo Ilridge Rt Niagara. The cables of a suspension bridge are subjected to great strainB. and are therefore firmly anchored to heavy masses of masonry by means of long bars of iron or steel having holes at each end by which they are bolted or pinned together. The Engineering News says that one of the bars in the anchorage of one end of the smaller suspension bridge at Niagara was found recently to be broken. The problem of replacing it was difficult, since the wires attached to it had to have the same ten sion when it was in place that they had when the old bar was intact. The new bar was formed of a piece of steel twenty feet long, six inches wide and three-quarters of-an inch thick, with hole in one end and a band bolted to tl other. This band was designed to pass around an iron bar in the abutment and resist the pull of the wires. When the band had been placed about this pin in the masonry and bolted to it? bar the bar was carefully heated by a wooden fire in a trough below until it had expanded sufficiently to allow the end of the wire cable to be connected with it. As it cooled it contracted until, when it reached its normal temperature, the wires attached to it \yere strained to the same degree as the others, and, in this way, a difficult problem was easily and cheaply solved.
