F.u't i.isrot.x mtur. vr.1 John Fitzgerald , Iho new president of tlio Irish National league in America , ar rived lit home yesterday , Mr Fll/.gorald has every reason to bo proud of the cor dial and enthusiastic reception that ho received at the hands of Ins friends. It was not known until 0 a. in. Ihat ho would arrive from the east on the noon train , but notwithstanding the facl Unit only iwo hours ami a half were llius al lowed for preparation , when the train arrived tit Iho depot a great throng was Ihore awaiting his arrival , and when Mr. Fil/gerald onioigod from the train the music of tlio baud was his Hrst greeting. A procession was at once formed , which took its way up to Iho opera house , that had boon engaged tor the occasion. The procisslon was headed by the police force In uniform , Iho lire department follow ing , carriages containing the governor and other stale ollicers , carriages con laining county and cily ollloials , and the Ancient Order of Hibernians out in full force in full regalia. A largo body of citizens then followed on foot to iho opera house , which was soon oomforla- bly lilicd. On Hie stage were gathered those who were to s peak and assist in carrying out the programme. In the ab. senec ot the mayor Councilman Hillings. ly pro sided who , in opiningtlio mcoling , spoke subslantially as follows : Wo meet licio to-dny lo extend cordial we' ' . como toour lello\\-cltl/.ou , .lohn l < 'ltcmli | . When the news 0:11110 over the wires that the bi h honor and distinction ol picsidiMit ot the Irish National le.i''iio in America had been conferred on him every lloait bu.it with the eonlldenco that the him or had been rightly conicricd. Knowlui ; his devotion and M'lf-saeilllcu for his native land , every one tell an hnnoiablu pride in his soleutloii , Thorefiiio , In bolmll ot the mnyo rand cltl- yoiis of Lincoln , a most cordl.il and hc.uty welcome is extended. ( lovornor Dawos was then called upon , and among other lliings Uio governor nald Ihat in behalf of tlio state and the cili/.ons of the state who hold sympathy with tlio great work , ho took pleasure in . Kjcordini a welcome. In honoring John Filxigorald the stale Is honored , and every honcsl man is honored. The great work of iho Irish league In America would con tinue iinlil every Irishman could have Iho righl of representation , that is the right of every man. James Ferroll , of the Ancient Order of Hibernians , was called to the stage and ffcad a Very woJl written speech of wcl- conio which saiij many good tilings io the guest and whieli rutlcclc.il credit upon its author. .i.iixii : conn , of tlio supreme court , was the next vpeaker introduced , and ho spoke witli a precision that called for thoughtful nttoution from all. The judge said that this i.s not the time nor place to go into u long discussion of tlio question of Irish liberty. The organization of which Mr. Fit/.gorald had been oleclcd presi dent had for its object Irish self govern ment , and it had the sympathy of all Americans. Tlio premier qt Kngland , standing at the throne of allairs in Great Hritain , fell that the settlement of the Irish question WHS necessary for the preservation of the government of the united Kingdom. Ilo , as premier , had attempted to give Ireland homo rule , but Ihat ( liadstono had failed in Ihat cndorsoincnl was no cause for cessation of work. The advancement of public opinion and the financial work of the Irish National league in America were the work of prep aration for another trial , for the final ae- complishmenl of a purpose upon which generations will look down. Judge Cobb tlion congratulated the audience upon tlio fact that a clti/.on of Lincoln had been selected to preside ever the work. Turning lo Iho guest of the da.y Iho judge continued : "Upon the termination of the work in Chicago you have como 10 your homo in Lincoln and to the hearts and sympathies of our people , who bid you a most hearty and sincere welcome. " Judge Pond was next introduced , and prefaced his remarks by saying Lincoln Had WON A NIW : IIOKOK. "It is cutting so , " continued the speaker , "thai wo take honors as a mat ter of course and inamattor-of-faetway. " The judge then , in a facolious way , re marked Ihat if Chicago or St. Louis had. received such a na tional recognition as Lincoln had through the electing of President Fitzgerald the places would bo ablaze with enthusiasm , lint honors fall so rapidly to Lincoln that all is taken as a matter of course. Mr. Fitvgorald , in his view , was placed in a position with Irish- Americans much as Parnell was placed at tlic head of Irishmen in the old woild , and the judge concluded witli congratu lations both for Mr. Fitzgerald and the city of Lincoln. J. 1) . Calhoun responded from the re porters' bench , and said that the news paper press of America was a UXlViil.SAL : I'JUKNI ) TO IKKLAKD. The press of America , ho continued , had always been the friend of every effort for liberty , and ho desired to place the press of Nebraska at Mr. Fitzgerald's service in all hisworkforthosolf-govorn- men ! of Ireland. John K. Clarke , Acting Mayor lirook and County Judge Parker all were called upon anil expressed in few words ilia universal sentiment of the meeting. Mr. .f. L. Caldwell in speaking said the question of Ireland's rights was born of the M'HOXOS OF OTIIKH YHAR3. The battle that was now going on the world ever was a great moral question thai the moral sentiment of the world would settle , The agitation of the ques tion in America had done moro in ion yoar.sthan had boon done before in a con- Jury. To the people themselves who were interested in tlic great queslion were con gratulations extended over the substan tial recognition of Mr Fitzgerald. HoYal D , Stearns said ho thought tin nicotine ought to congratulate the Icagut of Anurlca. If any man can porforu the work the Irish pcoplo are asking , hi considered the now president of tin league the man , The name of John Fitzgerald in the west was Ihesynonimoiu of success. The luagno tlnsorvcil con graliilations for the work it had doiu in selecting a loader , and also for tin promise of certain success in the coming work before the organization. Hnnry Hrueginan extended special con graduations on the part of cili/.ons o tiorman nationality , who now , as American can citizens , wore in full sympathy will Irish-Americana in their efforts for llu land of their birth. To till tiles' } expressions Mr. Fitzor aid rcsponod in a few words , Ho taid hi wont to Chicago NOT i\TKCriNO : THK IIONOIC , litt as it hail been placed upon him , witl Iho curtain work that accompanied it , hi assured tlio friends and oltuftns ono and all that ho would to the best of his ability db'iho work and full not a work it which but ono head was recognized am that one Charles Stewart Paraell.

Carson Tribune : So many reports arc spread about concerning the depth of this wondrous sheet of water that but few really know whieli to accept , Some re ports go to show that no hoiindings were ) ver obtained in the centre of the lake , xiid others that the greatosl depth is 200 : ! feet. The following , ascertained from lohn MoKiunoy , ono of Iho oldest resi dents on the hike shore , and who assisted in taking soundings , may prove interest ing to the general public : Fifteen miles of tlic lake on tlic state line average 1.-100 foot. Tlio centre of the line is 1,500 feet deep. Three hundred yards from the mouth of Emerald Bay the water is 700 fool deep , and four miles cast thereof the soundings are 1,400 foot. At Hubieon rock , ! ! 00 foot from shore , the water is 830 feet deep , and Jour miles out , easterly , it reaches 1.-100. At Sugar Pine Point , one-half mile south , the depth is 770 foot , and four miles out , pitching to Iho north , 1,500 tccl. Half a mile from Idlowild Iho depth is 780 feel , and six miles out 1,523 feet. At Saxlon's old mill , ii' ar Taboo City , 772 foot of water is found one-quarter of a mile from shore , and live miles cast by north 1 , < 508 foot is reached. At Observatory Point , one-quarter of a mile northeast from Tahoe City , soundings arc 1,000 foot , and four miles east 1,040. Four miles out of Hot Springs 1,015 feel , the greatest depth in the lake , is found. Hluo water in any portion of the lake averages 1)00 ! feet. The tomporaluro of the lake water at 800 fee' , is found to bo13 dog ; at 1,500 feet , ! ! ! ) } dog ; at the surface , in winter time , 44 dog , and in deep water during the summer , 05 dog. The above will doubtless attract boih intorosl and comment , but. coining from the Konrco it does , must bo entitled to consideration. The theory of Mr. Mo- Kinney as to Iho original formation of the lake is thai it occurred in the glacial period , and not from volcanic action , and if space permitted His opinions on the subject would bo given at this time , but it is certain that the bottom of Iho laKe is riven , as are the surrounding mountains , into chasms and ravinesleaving plateaus that extend for miles , as do other valloy.s on land. Could the water bo drained from tlio lake the bottom would bo sev eral hundred foot lower than Carson val- loy. which valley was undoubtedly caused by the same operation as the lako. and wa.s itself an inland s > ca or fresh-water lako.

[ Corres pondence of the I'liicago Hi-raid.J Sonu1 correspondent of tliu Herald writing from Hamilton , Xeb. , lias given ymiv readers a deseriplion of Nobra kn tuul Nebraska lift1 , with which 1 cannot wholly agree , As the Herald Is a friend of the west , mid lias many readers who tins desirous of learning lite truth about this great and as yet but partially developed coun try , I will endeavor to give jou some ideas that will bo of value. Compared with the Nebraska of ( ifloen years ago this state to-day tins very few of tlio characteristics that would strike the. eve of the traveler of that dale. Then the only town of importance was Omaha , on the cvtrenie. eastern border of the state ; now we have hyonty towns of tar more commercial importance than Omaha was at that time. Thutt fanning one hundred miles west of the Missouri river was considered as impracticable , aad the man who undertook it was looked nnon aa dangerous person , and a court or ituinirenito do lunalico would bo .sug gested by his solicitous friends , and all that vast region wa.s given over to the cowboy and the bullwhackor. Hut what a change1 From Omaha and the Missouri river for a distance of four hundred miles and more the horny-handed granger has conquered the country , ami Iiis plow has overturned tl.e virgin soil and compelled * it to yield him a handsome ruinrn. Kino larm lioiucs and outbuildings , beautiful groves , and i > rosperou.s town.- , are seen on every band , which indicate the moneymaking - making and money-keeping capabilities of the people. Thu earlier settlers of this state were for tlm most part men of slender inuans. They came in wagons , bringing their household goods and agricultural imple ments with thorn , and driving , if they had them , a few head of cattle. "Hchokltlic leaven that Icavenuth the whole hunt ) . ' * Of .such material were the early settlor. ' , ot tlio Mississippi valley status , and out- early settlers , and later ones , for that matter , outside of our foreign-born pop ulation , which is of the bettor class , are direct descendants of those who subdued the forests of Ohio and Indiana , tamed the prairies of Illinois , and opened to civilization the happy and prosperous staio of Iowa. They came , they saw , and they have conquered , until to-ilav in Chicago , New York , and tlio old world , the question is aiked , "How is the corn crop of Nebraska ? " for unto us the country looks for a large supply of tlris product. Nqraro the people as ignorant as your correspondent would have yon to believe ; they are very liberal in edu cational inattersand have the best schoo" fund of any state in the union. Schoo houses , in which competent teachers are employed everywhere dot tlio prairies , and in tlio ciliiM ami towns are gradeii schools , from which , upon graduating , the scholars step into our state university sity , an institution of learning second to none of its class in the country. On : people believe in education as the fonn elation of prosperity. In the course o many trip.s in all parts of the state , have never yet heard any such langiiagi as your correspondent quote8 and credits to Nebraska farmers. Nearly all of us would bo satisliei with 50 or 00 per cent upon our invest ment and some of us would even take the Dutchman's " 1 percent" withoutgrumb ling. Say what 3-011 will , the larmor.s ol Nebraska come nearer making this in crease than any one else that t know of Hut of course this cannot bo done every year and in fact very few yoav.s , when- - straight farming is carried on , but witli the combination of farming anil stock raising pur farmers are rapktly becoming rich. For instance , Janet that cost SlO per aero will yield an average of $10 worth of corn , the cost of which will be to the producer from $7 to $10. Flax trill yield irom $18 to ioO per aero , and the cost of production will not exceed one-half of the former amount. Whea will cost ! iO cents per bushel to produce and sells for an average of CO cents. Oats , rye and barley will yield fullv as large returns , even when sold on the open market , but when consumed by stock the proiit is much creator. It is estim ated that corn fed to hogs and cattle will not fully $1 a bushel. I could quote numerous instances within my own knowledge of fanners who are reaping the rewards of their industry at even a greater rate than this , but it is unnccos- sary at this time , Some men never sue coed at anything , and farmers whospem their time in saloons , and "between drinks" pour tlieir troubles into the oari of dudes who wear "stoic clothes and tall white hats" cannot be expected t < prosper , and will always bo wanting to borrow money at U per cent per mouth. Within my own knowledge farmers in Wisconsin , Illinois and Iowa have paid 1 ( per cent interest on money , giving mort gages on their farms to secure the loans. To-day , in Nebraska , farmers are bor rowing money on real estate security fo : from 7J to 0 percent per annum on liv < years time , with a small commission ti the agent who operates as middleman Short-time loans of a lew dollars fo thirty or sixtv days command 2 per con per month , and ? t.20 for making out am Tiling the papers , In tlio extreme westeri part of tint state 21 and sometimes It pei cent is obtained , but the borrowers do not find fault at this , as they can make many tunes this out of the money , Money is worth whatever can be made out of it , and if Nebraska farmers can make money by borrowing it at 2 per cent per month , and they do , that is the thing for them to do. Connected , but still entirely separate from the large railroad corporations on- crating in this state , are town site com panies. These companies go over the proposed now lines of road and select sites for now towns. They buy from the settler a onn-half interest in fiis quarter section , paying him a good price for the land , and then plat the town , giving tlio original owner the advantage ol the booming of the town by tlio railroad , and ho will net many times the amount ho would had ho gone to the expense of lay ing out and platting the town himself. Of ooureo , the right of way for tlio rail road and necessary bide tracks is deeded to the railroad company for a considera tion , which is no more than right. This plan of having a town situ company is for the purpose of securing ad vantageous sites and also to have the towns situated at suitable distances , as tlm indiscriminate locating of towns would only work to the disadvantage of all parties. Tlio old chestnut about its taking four bushels of corn to carry one to market ba.s been so long exploded that Nebraska people a'ro surprised at seeing it repro duced. Corn is worth now in tins state from 25 to ; irj coiits per bushel , and has no\vr , oven fifty miles from the rail road * , been as low as U cents , " as in tlioso localities it is nearly all fed to cattle and hogs. The credit system has prevailed to some extent , but the cash system is gradually taking its placo. The most prosperous uuTciiunts in the state to-day urn those who soil for < iash only , or notes with ap proved security. As the yean > roll round Nebraska will keep her place in iho pro cession , and at her prnent rate of in crease will lead many of the older states ilutioii , wealth , and public enter- before the uxmr.aiion of another decade.

Indianapolis Journal"In April , 1805 , ' ' said an old traveler to a Journal reporter , "the 1'an-Ilandle company tried the ex periment of miming passenger trains between Titt liurg and Colnmbu- . , at as hlc.li a rate of speed as could possibly bo attained. Trial * were made everj day for a week , nml on niatij trips the speed attained a-toimhed even old railroaders who had for year * been u ud to seeing their train * trailing at a lifty-mile-an- hour rate. Any one who will look over the Illes of the I'ittsburgli DNpalch be- iwoon tlie dales of April 8 and 10 , ISM , can find an account of the remarkably fast time made by the train on which I was a pa MMigor , which left the smoky citi between Hand ! > a. in. and was run as fast as out1 of the best locomotives in the country could go. None ot the pa * engcr.s knew that a trial of spued was to be made , but wo worn afterwards Informed that Superintendent Taylor wa.s on board and had given orders to the operator to run the train as fast as possible. Wo pulled out ever tlio long bridge very slowly and around the high cliff that skirts the river till the inky blackness of Cork Hun Tun nel enveloped us , and after emerging from the deep ml at its western portal we found that wo were going like liiilit- nmg round sharp cnr\es ami through villages where the people stood and watched us with an attitude that showed that they knew we were Hying. Some old travelers sat calmly in their seats reading the morning papers , bulovon they .soon began to east ominous glances through the windows us the black rocks of deep cuts Hew past as though they had been snot out of some immense mortar The whistle of the Ipcomotivo was .sounded so often for stations and cros-- ings that scarcely a minute passed that we did not hear It. After the long blast wo Would flash through some little town , where people could bo , een on the plat form of the stations Molding their bats and seeming to behold the Hying cars with amazement. Dogs rushed from doors where they had been resting and ran toward the ear- , barking , but before they reached the gate wo were out of sight and around some curve , going like mad , with the hoar < o whistle sounding tlio crossing signal almost incesiantly. Often there would come the tap of the bell and the rush ot an east bound train on the oppo site track with a suddenness that was ap palling. The passengers began to look scareil and glanced at each other inquir ingly as if they would ask the cause of such wild speed. One fat drummer getup up and attempted logo to the center of the oar. but totind lunigalion so nearly impossible that ho squatted down on the noKtseatto the one ho had left , and motioned to the conductor , who had itiot entered the car , to come to linn. The conductor managed to come near by using the seats to steady him , and the frightuiuid drummei ejaculated ; "What in the is the matter wiili this train ? they will kill us all if they don't slack up. " The conductor then infoi'inud us that a special run was being made , but that the track was clear amltliero was no danger. Wo s'oonreached ' , Stoiibonville , whore we ran felo\Vly \ ever the Ohio river bridge , stopped for/ water in that city , and pulled ( Mil for the west again with more rnoAdittlau / before.

When we arrived there Superintendent Taylor ran Into the telegraph ollicc and sent the following mossigo to the operator at Pittsuurg : "Fast onotight to suit my taste. l-orod's ( ; sake run her a little slower.

Piishaluck and his fair Newark love had been to Philadelphia , where , Pushaluek claims , they were mar ried in regular orthodox English fashion by a Philadelphia clergyman. The couple , it is said , then began their honey moon in a boarding house on .Ninth street which is patronized by "freaks. " The Hon. William F. Cody , however , hml no intention of losing such an attrac tive portion of his show as PiiHhalucl and put two searchers on his track. It was suspected chat Pushaluek had taken with him the Newark maiden whom ho had wooeil under the spreading trees of the woods of Krastina while he was not engaged with his bund in wild scurrying over tlio plain in front of tlio gram" stand. An Indian in native costume , ac companicd by a white girl , was not r hard object to trace , and in three days the searchers' efforts were crowned will success.

Accordingly Mr. and Mrs , Pushaluek arrived in Now York yesterday morningwhen Mr. Push aluok returned to the encampment ai Krastina , after having escorted Mrs Pushaluek to Newark.

Ho also declines to state whether ho expects Mrs. Piisha luck to do all the won ; of the family when the reservation is reached. In fact , Mr. Pushaluek is 'not ' nt all inclined to converse about'tho'matter.

MsU'slilield ( Wig. ) Letter to the Now York Sun ; About every other man one meets here nowadays is .singed and blis- tiirotl as Iho result of a close contact with forest lires. The air is heavy with the smoke , and at night the sky is lurid with the glare of llamo , some of widen are near at hand. While everybody is alert on the .subject , and when a Midden shift of the wind may mean tbo entire deslrnc- tion of the town , the old sotllor.s' funds of anecdote have been ilrawn onory freely. "The best job I ever knew a woods lire lo do , " said old Jerry Hassott last night , "was in the fall of 'SO , when ono of Ilioin licked mi Hank Coon , the murderer. Lots of you lellow.s wasn't ( hero llion , and tlie sawmill hadn't eaten into things the way it has since. A man hunt In those days was a terror. Hank was a crook , and hint been around this .section for ioino timo. Everybody suspected him. Finally , one day old man Hark- ness of Michigan tinned up inurdorod. He had pine land' : up here , and had been on the spot .seeing about putting up a sawmill. No one was like.ly to have much money here ; but Hnrknoss had a line wateh and chain , and of course some cash , and when his body was found theo ' were gone. As Hank'was misMiig no body thought twice about who had been loing that killing , and wo .set out with he idea of catching him before he could get out of the woods. "There were about a do/en of us , and o lo.st no time in getting on the trail. Vbont a month before the murder of larkness one of the men who was work- ng for L.uuler , a Swede , who had not icon here long , was loit in the woods , ind wo had just given up our search for dm when wo heard of the crinio and . hanged oil onto Coon. There had been some lires that fall , but they had not seared us much. After we had boon on ho track of Coon auout a week we came one morning onto what everybody said was his body. The remain * were hardly eeognixable , but the clothes were hi.s , joots and hat were ids , and a big horning - ing on one of the lingers was one which wo had all seen him wear. Thinking he mil starved to death , we resolved to search the clothing for Harkness" money ind jewels , but as they were not to bo 'omul wo cm i no to the conclusion that hi ; tad buried them , with tlie expectation of returning as soon as ho thought ho could lo .so with safety. Then wo left him where ho was , and , returning to camp , told our story. "A nionlli after that ono of our men came running in with a hlory about see- ng Hank Coon in the woods. Nobody joiioyeu mm i\i \ hrst , but ho \ \ a 86 oci1- tain about it that we concluded to go out with him. After along and careful search we came upon him siiro enough , the same nan exactly as he was when we saw him ! ast , except that his clothing was changed. We had him covered , and he nut to surrender , after whieli , in ex planation of hi.s strange appearance , he said that he had come upon the body of : \io \ missing Sivedo , and that as the Jai lor's clothes were better than his own ho Kid changed witli him for the fun of the Jiing. Ilo denied most positively that 10 had had anything to do with the mur der , and exprosiod the greatest willing ness to accompany us back to camp. On the way ho was talking so ghbly that most of us forgot that ho was our pris oner , and , watching hia chance , he made a dive for tlio jungle and wan out of sight before we could realize wliat he was up to , " 'Burn him out ! ' somebody cried , and then quicker than I can toll u we agreed to spread out so a.s to surround the pjaco , for wo know ho would hide after a little , and then set lire to the woods. We lig- ured that it he did hide that would be a sure way of getting him whether we could btny there or not , and as tor our selves we were to bo the judges when it wa.s time for us to skip. An hour after that tlio smoke was rising from half a do/.on quarters. The woods were dry , and by a little careful watching we kept the Waxes under some /sort / of control. Toward iliirk a brish wind sprang up , and before 10 o'clock the old forest was a g off like artillery and musketry. L on the loc side , and as there wa.s no back lires burning , 1 had the prettiest view of the blaze that man ever had It was terrific , and 1 began to fear that the boys on the other side might not getaway away , but as there was nothing for me to do but keep out of danger myself I just stood as far back as it was necessary to do , and saw the liames spread. It was worse than a powder-mill. The heat , even where 1 was .standing , was almost insufferable , and every few min ntcs I had to turn mj back on the blaze ahead of mo , which seemed at times to bo a wall of lire reaching from eurtli to sky. The rellcc- tion that u sudden change in the wind might place mo in the same perilous predicament dicamont that wo had sought to put Cooi in made mo shake for u minute , but I crept along over the hot track of the fire a few rods and looked about me for the purpose of taking my bearings. On all sules the black and spindling trunks of trees stood out bare and ghostly , and as I looked aloft a few drops of rail splashed in my faco. Later the down pour increased , and in ten minutes the rain was coming down in torrents. 1 Hod from the blackened track of the fire to the cover of the woods at ono slilo , ami from the thicket saw , half witli pleasure and half with regret , the liros burning dimmer , and at last sinking into a aiillon glare , which prom ised soon to disappear altogether if the deluge continued. While thus straining my eyes to observe if possible if there were any of mv companions in sight 1 saw an object drop from ono ol the charred trees at some distance to my loft , and horird it strike the ground with a heavy thump. The wind had risen fresh and strong Irom the southeast , and I madu up my mind that some of the burnH ( ! limbs were being shaken down. Afterward , however , I got to thinking of ( Joon , and I couldn't got it out of my head thai ho might have been the thing that had dropped , Tlio rain con tinued all night , and by daylight there were no liros in that vicinity wortli men tioning. At tlm earliest opportunity I stole iicross the burnt Mrctoh to the true that 1 had been watching , and there at its base , burned out of nil semblance to a human almost , was Hunk Coon. I knew who it was , for right by hi.s sidu was a gold watch and chain , half buried in the ashes , lie had climbed that tree when overtakod suddenly by the lire in the hope of sticking it out up there and trom nil appearances ho had roasted as ho sat in a crotch of the limbs. Hu must have boon dead long bol'oro ho full , and 1 presume - sumo I had walked around there with the dead man " "right over my head. As Iho track of the lira was not over 100 ieut wide at that point , wo made up our minds that ho had either been u lcup when ho found that it was on him and rushe.d to his death before ho thought of the danger ho was running , or ho united in some hiding place so long that ho hud only time to climb the lirst ash that ho camM to. However it was , that was what happened to him , and it never , co-t the Htatu a cent to got lid of that murderer. " STORIES BY A GIFTED MAN. TltoTnloofn Cat , n. Snnko Anecdote , and : i Kniluy Incident. "Ye ,1 Nashville rats are a pretty brave lot , sure enough , " said a lean man to a Nalivillo Union reporter. "I only arrived in this city last night , and , after an pally breakfast , studied down along Market Direct. Ju > i at the foot of the bill I heard an unearthly sort of nebo that reminded me of the overture of ono of Wagner's opera's , and 1 set out in search of the cause. Hounding the corner of the alley 1 saw a big black cat , hair standing on end , and progressing - grossing by Ills and > taits back ward. Kvery time she'd move biU'kniml the most ho.nblo ell lever hoard would como out of her lar.\nx. 1 couldn't make out at first \\liy she In sisted on going backward , as there was a clear roau in front of her ; but , moving a' hltle to one side , 1 saw that a great big rat had hold of her by the tail , nhile an other rat , a venerable old ens * , with gray clothes and white whiskers , had hold of the tail , of the other lat , and together they were hauling pussy toward a hole in a brick wall near by. I stood and watched the struggle until they Ihmlly got the cat close UP to the hole , and then tliey found out that the orifice was too small to permit of a cat's being pulled in. The old gray cuss let go his hold , dived into the hole , and came back in a miiiulo with about forli more nils , ami the whole gang at once set to work pulling out the bricks and enlarging the hole. It took them about live mltnutes to do this , and tl'on they 'tailed on' to the big fellow , who had twisted his tall around a gas- pipe and wa.s holding the cat all the time , and jankud the poor cat into the hole. The last I heard was a terrllie squall , ami then all was silent. I gues * those rats liiid a good Sunday morning breakfast for once , at least. ' ' Then the lean man resumed Ins cigar and the reporti r eyed him With awe mid reverence and wondered why the niantlo of Annanias had fallen on such insignifi cant looking shoulders. Pretty soon thu nan broke out again. Said ho : "Somocars ago 1 used todrinka good deal. I ( fon't ' do it now. 1 am a drum- nor and never imbibe , you know. Well , I liked the bottle as well as the next man , : md ono day , after 1 had pretty near cached the boundary line ot delirium .remeiiH , 1 bought a quart bottle ) f whisky and took it out in a lelil near the house to have a glori ous time all by myself. If I'd ' swallowed hat whisky I shouldn't have boon hero to ell you this , as I was pretty nearly a otal wreck. While I was silting nailer he shade of a tree , with the bottle in my iiand , contemplating tlio high old lime 1 .vas . going to have , 1 felt a cold , slimy something crawl over my lingers , and , looking down 1 saw a pretty good sized snake coiling himself around the boltlo. iVt lir.st 1 thought 1 had 'em. and . instinctively dropped the bottle. The next minute I saw it was a real live snake , but what did the confounded thing do but roll my bottle elf about three foot , pull the cork with its teeth , and drink every last drop ol that \ylusky ! When it crawled into a hole in the Around I got up and wont homo. I've ' never taken a drink since. " Again the reporter , in imagination , bowed down in adulation of this giflod iar , and , for want of some better topic , cimii-kiii that the evening was very > lea < -ant. "Yes , " responded the other , "and I lon't mind the hot weather much. Cold s what knock's me ; I can't ' stand it. I remember ono day last winter when L ilmost died witli the cold. J was travel ing up in Michigan , and the train 1 was : > n was running about sixty-live miles an hour to make tip lost time. The liros in tlio stoves wouldn't burn , and the cold was piercing. The breakmon and the conductor tried their hands nt the stoves , but it was no use ; burn they wouldn't. Now , I don't beliinom lying about such a small thing as a lire in a stove , and if 1 hadn't seen this thing nobody could nakc mo believe it. Alter the train had nado up her loot time and had got down to her regular twenty-mile gait , tlio tires in the stoves burned all right , and then wo found out that we'll been traveling so fast thot the draft in tiic Hues was strong enough to draw all Iho lire and co.xl right up in the chimney as fast as they lired up. Fact , Itissuro you , ( lood-nigat. " And the little man walked away and sought his room. After recovciing Ills cquiliorium in a measure , the reporter walked into the hotel and glanced at the risgislor. There ho saw the name : "Joaoph Mulhatton , Louisville ' .

An Illicit Distillery in a Jail. Atlanta Constitution : An illicit dis tillery is being run in Fulton i onnly jail. It is a rude get-up , but it furnishes corn whisky for the prisoners- . A constitution reporter was in the jail yesterday , anil while rambling around in the cells unearthed the distillery in ono of the colls. "What i.s this ? " he asked as ho pointed to n small oil stove. "Well , as you have caught up with us , " replied ono of the inmates. "I might a.s well toll you. Thai is part of our illicit distillery. " "Illicit " distilling ? "Yes ; wo made as mucn porn whisky inhere hero as wo want , but I'll give you a point right now that wo don't .sell any of it. " "How do yon make corn whisky ? " "Kasy enough. You see this bet hero. Well , when we want to mal.o a 'rim' wo place a lot of this corn broad in the box anil pour boilimr water ever it. This makes what wo call mash or boor. Try Borne of it " and suiting his words dipped up a cup full of stull' and handed lo the reporter wnich tasted something like a mixture of rod liquor and Chinese tooth wash. "Well , whim wo put this in tin little boiler on thai oil stove wo sliok in a rubber pipe which connects withlhi. largo coll'ce pot. The rubber tube gees under this stream of water hero and this generates a certain temperature , which makes the liquor. The glucose is separ ated from thn other stull'by the boiling process , and this stream brings out the pure liquor. " "How much can you make a day ? " " 1 don't know , 1 oxpcot > f we would work all thu time wo could make a gal lon , but wo only make unoiigh for our own us'o , and I hero is not a half dovwn other prisoners in the jail who know wo make it. " "How do you keep thorn from it ? " "By saying nothing and drinking our own liquor. " "Ain't you afraid the rcyonuo marshals will get jou. ' " "No ; 1 don't think any of them are moan enough to report us. Wo make it for our own usn , and no ono in hero had had a drop of it. " "Is it real gooil whisky V "Just as good a.s you ever lasted.
