Before Blatt was aware of their intention they fired at him, killing him in- stantly. The cause was an old fight over the pre-emption claim in which Blatt was victorious in a law suit. The sheriff and deputy are in pur- suit of the murderer by as largea majority as they did in June, if the democrats who were led astray by the protection heresy should vote their ticket in November, Oregon would again be a doubtful state. 8 ry Arch ‘Strees, eer Pa 4 WELL-TRIED TREATMENT COMMU NPTION, ASTIIWA, BRONC! wird Ait, NA DACHE, Den I ans. 14 aad aid hronte and Nervous Disere There is one ever present, over mastering question for all the Pacific states and territories, in which all have a deep interest, and multitudes of voters deem it of paramount im- portance, and that is the constant and never ending stream of Chinese emigrants.

Struggles of the Man to Whom We Are In- debted for India Kubber. Among the inventors who have sac- Titiced enough for their brain-children to be called indeed ‘martyrs’ is Charles Goodyear, the man to whom we are indebted for India rubber. It was in 1820 that a pair of rubber shoes was seen for the first time in the United States, and then they were merely handled about as a curios: Good- year found, in 1834, that for all prac- tical purposes rubber was a failure. Articles made from it melted in sum- mer, and emitted such an offensive odor that it became necessary to bury them. At the time when his attention a bankrupt, and his first experiments Like all persevering inventors, he thereafter sacrificed not only his time and money for the sake of his pet pro- borrow or beg from his friends. His wife's jewels and family relics speedily found their way to the pawnbroker and Goodyear moved. into the. country in order that he might live as econom- ically as possible. At length his inven- tion patented, and a wealthy part- ner joined him; but a commercial crisis soan swept away every cent of their joint capital. Then Goodyear found that he had not even enough money to buy food for his family, and the pawn- broker became again his only resource. He had become an object of general ridicule, and one of his New York friends, having been asked how he was to be recognized in the street, said of him: “If you see a man wearing an India-rubber coat, India-rubber shoes, an India-rubber cap, and in his pocket an India-rubber purse with not a cent in it, that is he.”’ For he constantly wore the material about, with the twofold object of test- ing and advertising it. Sometimes he seemed to be on the road to prosperity. The Government once gave him an order for one hundred and fifty rubber mail-bags, but when they were made the handles dropped off and the rubber fermented. But Goodyear was notdis- heartened. He baked India-rubber in his wife’s oven, boiled it in her sauce- pans, steamed it at the nose of the tea- kettle, roasted it in ashes and toasted it before fires quick and slow. And all this time he was regarded by most people as a harmless, but very weari- some, lunatic. His children were often sick, hungry and cold, and it is said that he once sold their school-books for five dollars, with which he laid in a new stock of gum and sulphur for his experiments. His darkest hour came when he had in the house a dead child, with no means of burying it, and five living members of the family, with no food for their next meal. But help was at hand. His immediate wants were re- lieved, and his brothers advanced money for carrying on his experiments. In 1844 he was able to produce vulean- ized India-rubber, with absolute econ- omy and success. But having attained one object, he adopted another, no less dear—that of perfecting a life saving apparatus—and after twenty-seven years of labor, having actually founded a new industry, he died insolvent, leav- ing his family an inheritance of debt. — Youth's Companion. ——_— _— FORMAL CROW COURTS. How They Are Condacted and How Their Judgments Are Executed. Mr. Romanes, in discussing the ques- tion of animal intelligence, cites -sev- eral instances in which jackdaws, rooks and crows have been seen to hold what may be called a formal court for the trial and punishment of offenders. It will surprise many persons, no doubt, to learn that such creatures have some- thing like a regular system of “public justice.’’ In the northern part of Scot- land, writes one observer, and in the Faroe Islands, extraordinary meetings of crows are occasionally known to occur. They collect in great numbers, as if they had all been summoned for the occasion; a few of the flock sit with drooping heads, and others seem as grave as judges, while others again are exceedingly active and noisy. In the course of about an hour they disperse, and it is not uncommon, after they have flown away, to find one or two left dead upon the spot. These meetings will sometimes continue for a day or two before the object, whatever it may be, is accomplished. Crows continue to arrive from all quarters during the session. As soonas they have all ar- rived, a very general noise ensues, and shortly after the whole fall upon one or two individuals, and put them to death. When the execution has been performed, they quietly disperse. An army officer writes from India | that while sitting in a veranda, he saw three or four crows come and perch on a neighboring house. Soon a gather- ing from all quarters took place, till the roof of the guard-house was black- ened with them. “Thereupon,”” he continues, ‘ta pro- igious clatter ensued. It was plain that a ‘palaver’ was going forward, some of its members, more eager than, others, skipping about.

How It Was Utilized by Two Notorious In- di: Convicts. A common cockroach was trained to act as a letter-carrier between William Rodifer and arlight Jack’ Ryan, convicts in the Southern Indiana pen- itentiary. Itis probably the first in- stance on record, too, where there was any use found for the little creature. Rodifer occupied a cell in the tier just above the one where Jack was contined, and for a long time they had no means of communicating . with other. each Rodifer was a daring fellow, but he had not sufficient imagination to get up 2 plan of escape and he relied on the bright mind of his friend “Starlight Jac to suggest an idea. One evening Rodifer noticed an inno- cent looking cockroach running about on the floor. After watching m= bolings for a time he conclude dhe eould use it. So writing a short note to his friend he tied it to the cock- roach’s wing, and kneeling down on the floor he put it out on the wall un- der the iron balcony in front of his cell. He calculated that it would run into the cell underneath. And it did. Jack noticed the pape aught the insect, and read the note. Then he answered it, and, poking the little creature out on the wall from the ceil- ing ov the door, he released The roach went into Rodifer cell and was caught: Then they fed and cared for it, and used it in’ this manner for some months. In faet it grew to understand its business. It must have been a female cockroach, however, for one day it stopped to chat witha friend and was noticed by the warden. The note, in some sort of ¢ the hospital stew Clure, read it. which was written was taken off, Dr. Sid. C. Me- +n the bug was put her, rd, T on the balcony floor, and ran into Rod- ifer’s cell. Thus the officials kept posted as to the plans of the two fa- mous jail-Dreakers. After a time Jack began to suspect that something was wrong, and he added a postscript. to his letter something like this: “If ev- ery thing is all right you will finda hair from my head in this note.” warden read it dropped the hair The he did the others, but and lost it. ‘Never mind,”’ said Captain Craig, whose hair was red, “put one of mine in it.’’. The answer came back: ‘‘That last whip- ping must have been an awful one, Jack, for it has changed the color of your hair.” The scheming of these came to naught, served their terms. two worthies and they stile Times, — oe —David Henning, ‘the Michigan apple king,” is the most distinguished man in his line in the world.
