^The prloe of life is living'. The fact that one is on oarth is no evidence that ho is alive," exclaims a writer jwho would have pooplo, all of the ipeople, more fully enjoy the present bj •making' the most of it. Some people [are so absorbed in mere money get 'ting, some in mere money spending, jand nearly all in one hobby or another# that few really enjoy life as it passes day by day, and not realizing that •To-day is a king in disguise," they never learn the meaning of true hap piness.

A BOT and a dog bound together lie in the Charity Hospital at Blacgweli Island, New York. One of the boy's legs lacks bone above the ankle. Into this part of the leg apart of the dog's ,fore-leg has been ingrafted. If the •dog dies another will be supplied. The !dog is a spaniel weighing about twenty pounds. Bandages of plaster of paris fasten him to the boy. The dog's [vocal chords are cut. When union .between the boy's bone and that of the jdog has commenced the dog's leg will jbe severed from connection with the boy's by cutting skin, arteries and muscles, which now bind the dog to the boy. The skin will then be severed •over the dog's stump and all of the rest of the dog's leg will bo cut from the boy's leg except the ingrafted piece of bone. The surgeon conducting the experiment is Dr. A. M. Phelps, professor of orthopedic surgery in the University of New York.

IT WILL be well for consumptives to be cautious about putting themselves under the caro of doctors who profess that they have adopted Prof. Koch's aystera before the Professor himself has perfected the system, and before he lias given the composition of the cur ative lymph or the method of using it. There are but few of rur respected physicians who would indulge in pretenses in a«business of thU kind. The most learned and careful members of our medical faculty are as yet engaged in studying the dispatches that are sent here from Berlin under Prof. Koch's authority. They have great faith in the news that has thus been communicated, and probably more than a hundred of them are in Berlin, or have taken passage thither, to await developments. In a short time we shall have definite knowledge concerning a discovery which is of the highest importance to millions of sufferers all over the world.

IT is an old saying, and one worthy of some consideration, that the worst thing that can happen to any movement is for it to become ridiculous. This is especially true in America, where the sense of humor of the average man is so keen and mot is often better than an argument. This was illustrated in a country town in Kentucky only a few days since. A burlesque company was advertised to appear in the place and had posted gome rather "loud" paper on the walls. A member of the council moved that the town marshal be directed to tear the paper dow n, as it was an offense to decent people. Then there was some debate and at last a member from one of the back wards arose in his place and moved that the sum of $10 be appropriated for the purchase of a sufficient amount of tobacco bagging to cover the posters. He said that this would spare the sensitiveness of thosewho objected and enable those who could not go to the "show" and would like to see the picture's, to gratify their curiosity by raising the curtain. I

BISHOP WILLIAM TAYLOH, whose work in Africa for the Methodist Church is known everywhere, says that while Stauley was not a missionary like l)r. Livingstone, his influence upon Africa was hardly less beneficial. ••In sharp contrast with the former type of explorer stands Stanley, who has been as thoroughly upright in his dealings with the blacks as was Livingstone. All the slanders which have been circulated against him can be at once set aside as false, for from the blacks who have accompanied him on his journby, and through whose territory Stanley has made his way, there comes nothing but the accounts of the most honorable of treatment. Having met Mr. Stanley personally I can commend him and the work he hus done in Africa in tho heartiest manner." The most reliable evidence of a man's conduct comes from the people with whom he had dealings. If Mr. Stan-, ley has won the friendship of the natives of Africa. Messrs. Ward Troup, and the friends of the unfortunate JJarttelot will attack Stanley's character In vain.

FIRST BLOOD OF THE WAR.

Indians and Rancher* Have a SklrmUb Near Buflalo Gap.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—General Miles this morning received a letter from Buffalo Gap, S. D.. under date of Dec. 6, which says: "Yesterday afternoon a party of tlf. teen Sioux, at the entrance to the Bad Lands, endeavored to cut off and capture three cowboys. The ranchmen in the vicinity of the Bad Lands are sending the women and children into this town. There are no rifles or ammunition, and nonehave been received here, although application has beea made for them in order that settlers may arm themselves." Shortly salter this letter was received* telegram came from tho same place dated to-day, saying: -Ranchmen and Indians had a slight skirmish The situation ts becoming serious, for the settlers are unarmed. Can you supply fifty good rifles and ammunition, so that settlers can defend themselves'" General Miles left tor the scone of tho Indian trouble on tho 9th-'

A band of Indians from Little Wound's camp Is camped about thre.- miles east of the Choyenne river, between tho mouths of French and Battle creeks. They have been raiding deserted ranches, killing and running off stock, burning hay and grain, and stealing household goods. Twenty armed men, well mounted, left Rapid City for the Indian camp on the 8th. They will be Joined by a number of ranchmen, and. If they are not Intercepted by the troops, will attack the Indians. A special from Custer says tnat not far from Buffalo Gap a ranohman named Warren, with four of hie men.attaoked a raiding party of Indians and killed four, but the story has not been verified.

•i WASHINGTON,

Congressman Owen. Is for Harrison in 1862. Republicans at Washington agree that there will be no revision of the McKluley bill at this seriion,

A proposition is being considered to reduce pension fees to $1, ivhich would go far toward stopping questionable methods by claim agents.

The reapportionment bill, which will likely pass Congress, is tho one proposed by Mr. Frank, of Missouri. It is now be* fore the House Committee on the eleventh census. It increases the representation in the House from 332 to 356. There will be no losses of membership, and therefore no antagonisms from any State on that account. Five members-will be gained by tne South, and the remainder will come from tho North. Each party will have equal chances of political gain b.v the Increaso, as Democratic and Republican supremacy is a stand,off In the States gaining. This will m-ke the reapportion-, ment really oon-partlsan in effect. The bill, it is thought, will not contain auantigerrymander clause.

NATIONAL ALLIANCE.

MEETING OF THE FARMERS OCALA. FLORIDA.

In the National Alliance on the 3d, Pros* dent Livingstone, of the Georgia Alliance, and L. IS. Folk, of the National Alliance, said that they had engaged in corrupt practice in the eleotlon of a Senator l'rom Georgia, and asked for an investigation. A. resolution opposing the federal election bill was adopted unanimously and amid much enthusiasm. The resolutions declare that: ""v:

Whereas, In the holy war which we havo declared against sectionalism, the firesides of tho farmers °f the North, East, South and West are the citadels around which the heaviest battles are being fought, and to the end that victory may crown our crusade, and fraternity and unity reign: therefore, be it

Resolved. By the National Farmers' Als llanoe and Industrial Union of America in National counsel assembled, That we do mostselemnly protest against the passage of said Lodge election blll^ most earnests ly petition our Senators to employ all fair and legal means to defeat this unpatriotic measure, which can result in nothing but evil to our common and beloved oouns try.

The Louisiana lottery was also de«» nounced. In the National Alliance on the 4 th a eommitteo was appointed to secure closer relations ot the Farmers' Alliance and Citizens' Alliance. An appeal was made for similar action in connection with the various labor organizations. In replying to this Mr. Livingstone said: "The Farmers' Alllanoe deserved no particular credit for having discovered that these reforma were neeessary, nor for taking the lead in the matter. The masses of thu country were practloally In tho same boat,and all should work together." "The money power of this country," he continued, "backed up by the money power of Europe, and aided and encouraged by railroads and corpora*, lions, is our common enemy. To meet this enemy and to cope with it successfully, co-operation is absolutely neces. sary, and ait must soon come about. I therefore recommend co-operation and fraternity with other National bodies, but not consolidation." Glimpses of a third party movement appeared in the convons tion Thursday.. It is chiefly agitated by the Kansas delegation. Gen. John H. Rice, candidate for the Kansas Senator* ship, and Captain Power, of Indiana, have a call to be issuedto the Farmers' Alliance and all Industrial unions of America which favor the principles of the St. Louis platform, to meet In convention In Cincin* natl the 28d of next February to cenaider the third party or people's movement. The name of thiB new party will be the "'National Uaion Party of America." This call is not expected to be issued before the close of the Oiala convention. The efforts seem to be to keep the National Farmer's Alliance from inaugurating the new party and yet to make it the main basis of the new National party. Various resolutions were Introducod and referred.

The National Alliance on the 5th took steps looking to a consolidation with the F. M. B. A. The St. Louis platform, with some amendment, was adopted. A part of the platform now reads that "the liberty to control and operate all such lineB shall vest in the government, and If, after a fair trial of this system, it is found that it does not afford relief or effect reforms in the management of them, the government's ownership shall be complete also, "that every Alliance lecturer,Stateand National, and all newspaper organs- of the Alliance shall support the St. Louis and Ocala platforms, or suffer suspension from the order, and further that no candidate for any national political office shall he supported by the Alliance members unless he indorses thiB platform, and any subs Alliance not complying with these conditions may be suspended at the pleasure of the President." Resolutions were adopted partially exonerating L. L. Polk, Dr. Macune and Col. Livingstone for their part in the Georgia Senatorial election. Officers' were elected as follows:

President—L. L. Polk. Vice-President—B..F. Cover. Secretary—J. H. Turner, of Georgia. Nat. Leoturer—J. Si Willies, of Kansas. A public meeting at'night was attended byj'J,000 people. T. V. Powderly was among the speakers. A resolution was passed reciting that the United. States census re« turns with respect to farm mortgages were grossly incorrect, and calling upon all county and sub-alliances in all the States °f the Union to take immediate steps toward securing aoourate statistics from the county records and make prompt reports thereon. A resolution was adopted, also, opposing the opening of tho World's Fair on Sundays. During the past year 1,069 new charters were issued to sub-Al* Uances- as follows West Virginia 252* Colorado 152,. Indiana 132, Michigan 100* Virginia 95, Illinois 87, South |Carollna S3,' Ohio 01, Pennsylvania 59, New Jersey 20 Minnesota 5,. Iowa 5, Oregon 1, Oklahoma 1. State charters have been issued to the following States: Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan* West Virginia, Oklahoma an(L North Dakota.

COLORED ALLIANCE.

At a meeting of tho National Colored Alliance en the 5th a resolution was offered oeciting the fact that the Farmers' Alliance aimed at tho betterment of the condition of the farmers industrially, morally and sooiatly, and regretting, criticising and condemning the action of the white alliance in passing a resolution in opposition to the federal election bill because such action has no reference whatever to the aims and purposes of the organization, and was calculated tooheck the growth and influence of the Alliance. The resolution was discussed at some length. The opins Ions expressed were not so muoh in favor of the federal election bill as in condemnation of the white Alliance for going out of Its way to intermoddle in politics. At night, at an open meeting, several colored men delivered speeches. Thoy all agreed that tho money power, transportation com panics and corporations in general were oppressing the masses of the poople, and they plainly Intimated that they wore ready to vote hereafter for their own advantage and not for tho benefit of office seekers and money kings. All thia is in-

terprated as undoubtedly tadlcatlttg the leaning of the colored Alliaace toward a

new political party.

THE TDIRD 1'ARTT.

Following is the call for a third party conference stgnod by Gen Rice and John Davis of Kansas, and by about seventy* live other Alliance men.

Whereas, In unity there is strength, therefore it is desirable that there should be a union of all the variously named industrial organizations that stand on common grouncfc to thisoud. The individuals from various States, whoso names are hereto signed, make this call for a National conference to be composed of delegates from the following organizations, viz: The Farmers' Alliance, The Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association, The Citizens' Alliance, The Knights of Labor and all other industrial organizations that support the principle of the St. Louis agreement of 1889. Each State organization to send one delegate from each congressional district and two from the State at large and each distriot organization to send not less than three delegates and each county delegation not less than one delegate, to be chosen aocordlng to the oustoms of each respective organization duriag the month of January, 1891 Also that the editor of each newspaper ishereby invited as a delegate that has advocated tho principles of the St. Louis agreement and supported the Alliance candidates nominated in 1890 the delegates to meet in the city of Cincinnati, O., on Monday the 23d day of February, 1891, at 3 o'clock p. m., for tho purpose of forming a National anion party based upon the fundamental ideas of finance, tranportation, labor, and land In furtherance of the work already begun by those organizations, and preparatory for a united struggle for country and home in the groat political conflict impending that must decide who in this country is the sovereign, "the citizen or the dollar."

A dispatch to the Indianapolis Sentinel says: "The third party movement is gain lng ground rapidly. The presence of so many representatives of tho national labor and industrial organizations strenjgthens the opinion that tho entire 'reform' element in the country will join this new movement The western and northwestern delegates are said to be practically united indorsing the- Rico-Davis call and it is predicted that they will demand of tho Southern Democrats in the Alliance to Join in tho movement—this in payment of tho debt inourred by the latter to the Western Alliance men who sat by and raised no protest against the passage of the antielection bill resolution. It Is not believed, however, that tho Southern members will renounce one particle of their allegiance to the Democratic party. This third party project is the uppermost topic of discussion in the hotels and everywhere in the city outside of the Alliance hail."

The National Alliance on thB 8th discussed matters of legislation. The debate oh the sub-treasury bill was long and warm. Mr. Davie, of Kentucky, offered a long preamble and resolution to take

the

place of the Arst demand), und from this point on the speakers addressed themselves to both the Loucks and the Davie amendments indiscriminately. The first speaker after the introduction of Davie's resolution was President Hall, of the Missouri Alliance, who made along speech in opposition to the sub-treasury plan. "I am,"he said, "uncompromisingly opposed to tho sub-treasury plan.for the following reasons: First, it Is In violation of the Cousiitution of the United States second, it ls subversive of, and directly opposed to, the constitution, principles and demands of our own order third, it is-unjust and inequitable fourth, it is very extravagant fifth, it would bring financial ruin to tho farmers of,our entire country, and to all other classes of business sixth, it will have and is how having the effect of drawing the minds of farmers and other laborers of our country from the- greatest curse of the age—class legislation —and, if adopted, will commif us to that principle which will fasten these ourses upon, us for all time."

Mr. Hall then took up the objections in the ordef named, and discussed them, with many forcible arguments and illustrations. President Hall said that tho sub-treasury measure was purely "class legislation," and he argued at length in proof of this statement. Among other things on this point he said, "It would lose us millions of members In our order, the esteem, aid and sympathy of thousands of religious, agricultural and political papers thathave aided us in the past, and the confidence ot all the good men and women who have- bid us God speed. It is my opinion, based on my .experience gained in traveling and lecturing in 106 out of 114 counties, of our State while your State lecturer, that if our order should take such a step it would destroy the order in Missouri in. less than, ninetydays."

Jerry Simpson, the Congressman-elect from Kansas, said that our State Last year raised 270,000,000 bushels- of corn which the farmer sold at pricee.varving from 13£ to 14£ cents per bushol, but that of the en tire amount the grain-gamblers in Chicago got control of 240,000,000 bushels and sold it at 45 cents per bushel, which took 100,000,000 from the pockets of the farmers of Kansas. If the United States Government had protected the farmers as It protects the gamblers, this never could have happened. If the farmers had got this #60,000,000 they could have devoted $30 000,000 of it to the payment of farm mor'tgages^and have UBed the remainder for home comforts and farm improvements.

The resolutions as adopted are as follows. Tho sub-treasury bill -,vas also endorsed

First—We demand the abolition of national banks wo demand that the government shall establish sub-treasuries or depositories in the sevoral States which shall loun money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 per cent, per annum, on non-perishable farm products, and also upon real estate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of land and the amount of money. Wo de mand that the' amount of circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than *50 per.capita.

Sccond—We demand thatCongresssball pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the dealing in futures on

all agricultural

and mechanical products, preserving'a stringent system of procedure in trials such as shall secure the prompt conviction of offenders and the imposition of such penalties as shall secure the most porfect compliance with the law.

Third—We condemn the silver bill recently passed by Congress, and demand In lieu thereof the free and unlimited coinago of sliver.

Fourth—We demand the passage of laws prohibiting alien ownership of land, and that Congress take prompt action to devise soino plan to obtain all lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndicates, and that

all lands now held1 Hy *aiirtadr and other corporations in exciss of such as is actually used and needed by them be reclaimed' by^the government and held for aetbal settlers only.

A motion to reconsider the vote condemning the federal election bill was lost,1 ayes 56, nays 32. The motion was made that the Alliance might clear itself from the charge of partisanship. During the discussion of this motion Mr. McAllister of Mississippi, denounced it as "the loathsome inspiration of sevoral Southern traitors who hoped to force their political car-v cass upon the Southern people through' that putrid thing oalled the force bill thatwhen the devil sent the Duke of Alva to' the Prussian Diet for its unbridled sanction of his atrocious career of rapine and* dissolution in the Netherlands, ho did not get warrant for a more infamous measure than the force bill." Those States voting against tabling the motion were Illinois, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania,' North and South Dakota. There wasadl-' vided vote in delegates from Arkansas,] Missouri, West Virginia, Florida and Kan-' sas.

Delegate Carr, of North Carolina, pre-.' sented a memorial of the National Farms ere' Alliance to the Congress of the United( States, with reference to the Conger lardj bill now pending. This memorial recites* that the delegates to the National} Alliano Supreme Council, representing! the Farmers' Alliance organisations in the various States and territories,' ask "that Congress enact, as soon: as possible, Senate bill No. 3991, known as the P'addock pure-food bill, which was. introduced by Senator Paddock, of Ne-' braska, at the instance of the Farmers' Alliance of that State, for the reasons that the delegates believe that, if said bill bocomes a law, it will prevent adulteration-''-and misbranding of food preparations* now so largely and generally practiced, to the great Injury of the agricultural interests^ the'country, the health of the people and the morals of the business public—adopted.

A resolution was passed urging the establishment of postal savings banks, and Messrs. Demming. of Pennsylvania Pago of Virginia, and Houston, df West Vir* ginia, were appointed to arrango for a grand summer encampment, the.time and place to be fixed hereafter. The National executive committee was authorized to formulate a plan for a mutual life association. aud to report at the next annual meeting.

Representative Wilcox, of Connecticut, is a pretty careful observer of political events from a Democratic point of view aud unquestionably is authorized to make observations for the Democratic party. He admits that the Alliance movement is an annfex of the Dempcratio party, and that if it puts a candidate in the field in 1892 the prime features of its platform will be those of the Democratic party. "Yet" says he, "the third party will take no strength from the Democratic column."

MEXICAN "BULLFIGHT.

FuUawed by Murder—KevolC or Prisoners —Six Killed.

A special from El Paso, Tex., says the bull fights Sunday afternoon at Jarcz, Mex., were viewed by an immense crowd! They were brutal and fierce in every re* spect, and one horse ridden by a fighter was gored three times, ripping the left fore leg almost from the body. Tho bulls were vicious nnd kept the crowd at a fever of excitemont during the afternoou. The last bull was dragged from the arena dead. While the soldiers were absent from the post attending the fight the convict sol^ diers revolted at the bai-racks, killing the sergeant of tho guards, a corporal aud a private. The murderers, eighteen in number,broke from tho barracks, escaping to the mountains. They were followed by tho soldiers, threo overtaken and shot to death-and four captured and returned to the post. Tbey are ordered to be killed at sunrise Monday.
