South Omaba still leads the procession and shows upa larger percentage of grain in slaughterings of hogs than any other pack- fng center in the United States. The total slaughterings st all packing cen- ters has been 985,000 since March 1, as com- jpared with 700,000 during the corresponding period last year, The gain is 255,000, or 40.71 r cent. Chicago s.ill maintains its big lead with 430,000 slaughtercd. as compared with 265,000 takt year, a gain of 165,000 or 62.26 per cent. Kansas City retains second place by a small margin and a largely reduced percent- age. Kansas City's slaughterings increased from $2,000 last "year to 111,000 this year, f;. i of 20,000, or 8557 per cent. outh Omaba jumps up almost to Kansas City, and prorises soon to jump outof sight of ber venerable neighbor and last rival. The {ncrease at South Omuha was from 54,000 last year to $4,000 this year, a gain of 40,000 or 74.07 per cent. The difference in the slaughterivgs s only 19,00 in favor of nsas City, while of the whole number aughtered at the two points Kansas City bas slaughtered 54.15 per cent, and South Owmaba 45.55 per cent.

Colonel Guy V. Henry of the Ninth cavalry arrived vesterday from Fort Robiuson, where he saw his company of colored troopers once more comfortably established in their quar- ters, after many months of severe service on the frontier in the vicinity of Pine Ridge agency. Colonel Henry is sunburned and tanned by the wind, and shows the effect of life in the field. He said the march home from Pine Ridge was very scvere, on account of the deop snow. The dnfts in some places wero very deep and the sun_shining on the suow produced such a glare that the men wero al- most blicded and were badly sunburned.

The New York Recorder says that it was Charley Foster of Ohio, the new secretary of the treasury, who started in life the new senator from this state, Calvin S. Brice, Ho lent Brice $20,000, and the latter lost the money in soma sort of speculation. Thereupon Brice went to Foster and told him that the sh was gone, offering him at the same time a note for the amount. Foster took the note, tove it to pieces, andsaid: “My dear boy, your note isno good if your word isn’ A few years later Brice hud made the beginning of his pile. He bought a scrap of railway here and another serap there until he controlied a con- tinuous line all the way from Ohio to Chicago. With this he made such a show of competition against the Van- derbilt system as to, compel old William H. Vanderbilt to buy out the whole bue- iness at a profit to Brice and his backers of about a miliion dollars. Vanderbilt said that it ould not have eost more had it been nickel-plated,” and hence theroad got the name of the “‘Nickel Plate,”” which it las since retained. To compliment him upon this stroke of work Brice’s friends presented him with a gold searf pin representing a broken safe with burglars’ tools alongside it, n little ruby serving to represent the light in a dark lantern, The souvenir s intended tosymbolize the successful attack upon the Vanderbilt coffers. Sen- ator Brice has never worn it, though he keeps it as a treasured reminder. France Generous to Its *“Vets." A curious story came to light at the trial of an old man by the name of Lam- bert before the Assize court of the Seine on acharge of embezziement. He ap- peared to be almost dying, and was so weak thathe could hardly walk. His voice was very feeble and'he was stated to be seventy years of age. Lambert has been for fourteen s cashier in the shop of a lace merchant, his sals being 160 francs per month. During the last nine years he had embezzled the sum of 25,000 franes in small sumws, falsi- fying the books to cover his faults. He plead guilty to the charges made against him. Inthe course of the evidence it appeared that he was an old soldier. He had served for twenty-one years, had been through seven campaigns, and had been wounded. At the time of the Franco-Prussian war though exempt on account of age, he rejoined the army and went through the whole cumpnh;n The ecircumstances under which he cama to commit the fraud were very sad, as it was proved that he had not taken themoney for his own benefit, but for that of his stepson, whose follies he had to pay for. Under these circumstances and after s most moving oration by his council, the jury brought in u verdict of acquittal, which was warmly applauded in court. —— Blowing Down Historio Lookout.

Atlanta Jour .a', BIRMINGHAE, March 8.—A story has just come to light here of how Champion John L. Sullivan had his enthusiasm as a fighter dampened a few days ago by a Tallapoosa county man. Sullivan was on the train going from Columbus to Montgomery. He was “full” as usual. Leo Smith and another gentleman, both of whom are guards at the state convict farm, happened to be on the train. On learning that John L. was aboard they went to Duncan B. Har- nd asked him which gentleman was Suilivan. Harrison pointed out the champion,whereupon Smith approached him and said: i Sullivan?” d John L., arousing from his slumber and looking angrily at his questioner, “that’s Sullivan over there,”” continued the chumpion, pointing at Harrison. Smith turned to Harrison, when the Jatter pointed again to the boxer. who had thrown his head back on the seat in repose, and rei ed the assertion that he was Sullivan. “You can’t fool me: youare John L. Sullivan,” said Smith, " turning again to the slugger. “Yes, I am,” shricked Sullivan, as he sprang to his feet in a rage, which e ed avd passenger on the coac! “and I can lick anyd—d man in the car;” he continued, at the same time drawing back his fist to strike young Smith, Quick as a flash Smith drew a long ugly revolver, and in an instant it was cocked and leveled at the slugger’s head. **Hit me if you dare and I'll blow your brains out,” coolly replied Smith. John L. concluded-#ot to pit his phy- sical strength agaiust cold lead, und he quietiy sank back on b —— Fox A I'hantom. During the past winter more foxes have been seen and_illed near Sweet Springs, Mo., than in any two former seasons combin Asal Vickery, who lives four miles southwest, on Black- water, reports the loss of thirty-seven pigs destroyed by the foxes. Se other farmer: a.lost a number of pigs by Reynard’s raid As yet no or- ganized movement has been made to ria the country of theso pests. Mr. Vick- and his son, howa¥er, have shot and killed no less than five since Christmas, though the killing of this number does not seem to have dimtmished the supply in the least. Nightly raids and mid- night onslaughts upon the pigpen con- tinue just the same and pigs diminish accordingly. Many a sty with a litter of fine pigs at sundown could furnish nothing but bloodstains and bones the next morning. This state of affairs continued until he who loves to chase festive Reynard came upon the scene to destroy the destroyer. But fox hunters, as a rule, do not care to catch their goame, but rather to spare it that the chase may be enjoyed another day. But whatever the intention of these hunters who have come here from twenty miles around, they have not succeeded in cap- turing a single red bushy-tail of the hills. Apparently all their chases have been after the same fox. Growing tired of the chase they atlast decided to post some of their party and shoot Mr. Rey- follows: The juice of d intoa large goo- ke fifty men a | was | » his He hap- | 1 of them s U TILL THEY RE GUNE WB OFFER KNEE PANT SUITS ONE DOLLAR ‘&Eol 9()' THREE HUNDRED TEN DOLLAR WITH LONG PANTS, AT - $6.75- _B6.

The New York Times of March 8,1801, says of Harper’s periodicals: Whether treated, each one as an individual pr duction or generally as a class, Harper periodicals represent the highest types of Ameriean literary and illustrative work. When on the part of many whose profession is to cater to the reading pub- lic there is a tendency to meet more than half y a taste which is by no means healithy, and coarse matter is provided, garnished with bad piet- ures, the h'uuunn of the artistic sense is of small moment _when compared _with the abasement of the moral one. Never bave the publishers of the Mugazine, the Weekly, the Bazar, or Young People towered that high standard which was assumed in their first numbers. Modifi cationsand improvements have,of course, followed, and today it is difficult to_con- ceive how they could be bettered. Look- ing at the literary side alone, the bost known writers at home and abroad con- tribute to these publications. For the proper presentation of subject, pictorially, leading artists furnish their ans to he translated by wood cuts, or process, whichov method shows better the illustrative idea. A column eulo- gistic of these publications mizht be written, and would bare sulfice to speci ir many singulat merits.
