About 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon the city marshal found near the depot a demented negro who was peeping into tbe windows of the offices, says the Pendleton East Oregonian. He was a fall-blood, black as the ace of spades, and appeared to be suffering from de lirium tremens. V The man was very crazy.' His talk was wild and disconnected, and his eyes shone with maniacal frenzy. He resisted arrest, and tried to bite, but with the assistance of two colored men was conveyed to the county jail, where be paced the cement floor of bis cell like caged beast. He could not tell his name. And it. was only gathered that he had been a bootblack. ' At about . 10 o'clock, after several hours of suffering, the poor negro died at the jail, and his body has now been conveyed to the. potter's field for inter ment. There was absolutely nothing on bis person by which be could be identi fied. Children and adults tortured by burns, scalds, injuries, ezema or skin diseases may secure Instant relief by using De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. It is the great pile remedy.'

Said by Hlgrlilandera to Have Been Gaelic The Scottish Highlanders have- al ways been firmly convinced that Adam and Eve used "ta Gaelic;" and it is gratifying to find that philologists, as they grow wiser, are coming round to the same opinion, says the Scottish American. It is true that they have made no express admission to this ef fect as yet, but there is evidence that we are on the eve of am acknowledg ment that Gaelic vas the original lan guage of the human race. The latest deliverance on the subject, if it does not altogether silence these skeptics and scoffers wno derided this article of Highland faith, ought to at least make them give pause. Dr. Leit ner, a distinguished German orientalist and philologist, has declared Gaelic to be a. "contemporary or derivative of the Prakit, closely allied to the spoken lan guage and out of which Sanscrit be came a written language." He even goes so far as to assert that there seem to be in the Gaelic "certain survivals of a prehistoric language." Clearly this point in the direction of the jiighiana contention, ana tne pres ent acknowledgment, therefore, al though tardy, and not, perhaps, quite so full as might be desired, will no doubt be welcome. But Gaelic has another distinction. It is, as even tbe Sassenach knows, the language to swear in. The distinction, however, is that one does not quite har monize with the theory of its Para disaical origin. TWO BROTHERS. A Touching- Instance of Trie Broth erly Love. . Here is the story of two brothers who stuck to one another through life, and in death were not divided, says Les lie's Weekly. They were past CO years of age, and, being reported-ill and des titute in the old house where they lived alone, were removed to Bellevue hospital. Each, though helpless, was anxious to take care of the . other. When asked if they had any friends, both gave the same reply: "The best friend 1 have in the world is my brother here." On their cots side by side they lay dying, yet neither appeared to have any thought of his own suffering, but asked continually that something be done for his brother. The elder one died first, saying: "Good-by, John, dear. God bless you " Less than four hours after this farewell John breathed his last. The next day it was the day after Christmas the two brotherr lay side by side in the morgue, where an aged woman, who had been their friend, came and identified the bodies, promise ing tq notify relatives who would see that they were buried together. Such is a real incident from the great epic of daily life in the metropolis, and it points its moral better than some fiction. EXIT THE ARCTIC WHALE. Pnranlt by Man Has Virtually Extin guished the Deep-Sen, Monster. Whalers, and especially the man with the harpoon, have always been popular characters, and, indeed, the perils and exploits of their trade form not the least stirring chapter in the romance of commerce, says the London Graphic. It will, therefore, touch most of us with some slight sense of loss to learn as a correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette assures us that, as far as the arctic seas are concerned, that chapter is closed. This is a prosaic age, and the results of that famous corporation of whalers, the Dundee Arctic Fisheries c.-.mpany, limited, for the last two years have, it is said, not only not satisfied the shareholders, but have resulted in a heavy loss. The right whale, which provides the famous bone,' has become so scarce that a ship is nowadays lucky if it be rewarded by even one small one as the reward of a -whole season's struggle- with arctic fog amd ice. A parallel might be drawn between the pursuit of the arctic leviathan and the African behemoth, the elephant. Mod ern improvements in weapons of de struction have so thinned both their tribes that, as objects of profit, they have almost ceased to be worth the seeking. Solved the Mystery. ' A man in Paris has been making a good deal of money exhibiting a curious animal in the cafes chantant and such places. It was-a very queer little ani mal, and the alert Parisians were will ing enough to drop the petit son for a sight of it. Still, look as they would, none could determine the creature's species. It was interesting, but it was baffling, and . the exhibitor coined money. One day, .however, a dog chanced to follow a curious beholder into the cafe chantant. Immediately the wondrous animal humped its back like a diminutive camel, amd began to hiss and spit! The mystery was solved! It was a shaved cat! -. Aerial Trolleys. Chilkat's aerial trolley road, eight miles long, is not am experiment, as the system has been tested in other parts of the world. The cars, holding two passengers and a gripraan, travel under der two ropes, suspended ' in the air, with another cable underneath to con duct the power, the capacity of the line will be 120 tons daily, equivalent to 200 miners and their outfits. The con struction of the road is simple, and it will probably be running by April. To U.. . wi. iu uua .Day. Take Laxative Brotno Quinine Tab lets.

The expense of heating , a London theater, the Vaudeville, by electricity, using storage batteries connected with radiators, is said to have been less than 70 cents an hour. Sir .A. Harris pantomime, "Cinder ella," last year is computed to have cost' $125,000 before the curtain was raised on boxing night. Sir Augustus did not flinch froni dressing a chorus girl re ceiving 24 shillings a week in a dress by Worth at $300. The decree of the Italian government indefinitely extending the time of the copyright of Kossini's "Barber of Se ville" has been declared by a parlia mentary commission as contrary to law and void. - The final decision rests with the full house of parliament. ' Emma Eames, beside her public tri umphs, has won most generous praise from Melba and Calve, and Julian Story's picture, called "Le Laboratoire de Saint Lazare," exhibited this year in the Paris salon, has been purchased by the-French government, which is an uncommon compliment to an American artist In Trance, it seems, there is a stroug superstition that the operas of Ambrose Thomas bring some sort of ill luck: The Paris Opera Comique and the The atre des Arts at Rouen were burned on the night of the performance of "Mignon," in which, it may be recol lected, a fire scene actually occurs. The Grand Opera, Paris, was burned on the night of a performance of "Hamlet." Ambrose Thomas himself was well aware of - the superstition, and used laughingly todeclare that he was lucky in other ways. . IN EASTERN LANDS. The diamonds in one symbol of the shah's rank are said to weigh almost 20 pounds. A Hindoo wife may be divorced if she bcolds her husband or goes to a dance while her husband isabsent from home. . "The end of the Ottoman empire is near," the foreign correspondents are saying, just as they did 40 years ago. The prison population of India, large as it is, is only 38 per 100,000 inhabitants, or less than half the proportion that prevails in Great Britain. Seven lions are among the-pets of the sultan of Morocco. At night, he lets them range the courtyards of the pal ace, to act as guards to the royal harem. The mosque of St. Sophia at Constan tinople was laid up in mortar perfumed vth musk. It was built a thousand years ago, yet. the musky smell is still noticeable. . Mohammedan- depositors in tbe post office savings banks are enriching the British government, as their religion forbids them to receive interest. They insist on taking out no more than they have put in. j ' Kins of tbe Hellenes. The official title ofthe Grecian mon arch, which is king of the Hellenes, is said to have oeen adopted by way of a challenge of the sultan's sovereierntv over the million's of Hellenes residiiij; in Macedonia, Koumelia, on the islands of the Aegean sea and the Levant and on t he coast of Asia Minor. Kirg George's eldest son, Crown Prince Cocnstantfrie, seems to have been named in the same spirit of defiance of tie grand Turk, and in anticipation of the day when the ruler of all the Hellenes shall sit en throned in the imperial city on the Bosporus founded by Constamtine the Great, which for 1,000 years was the capital of the Grecian half of the Ro man empire. A Itere Beefsteak. The first piece of beefsteak that ever reached the gold 'fields in Alaska sold for $48 per pound. Tbe piece of beef steak was carried 250 miles by Thomas O'Brien, from Forty Mile Creek to Cir cle City, and weighed a fraction over ten pounds. It was put on exhibition at Circle City and attracted much atten tion, and was subsequentjy disposed of for $480, the proceeds going to siweTl the miners' hospital fund et that place, A Hot Time In tbe Old Town. There's been a hot time in the old town while the wool-growers have been with us; bat, gentle people, the- hot time is not over yet, for there's going to be a hot time in real estate and insur ance in tbe old town id the future. When yon bear old Dad Butts go by, don't forget he's got business in his eye, a sample of which might be briefly men tioned in this way : A corner lot; good house; ' well improved; - city water; streeta all graded; within ten minutes' walk from the postoffice for $300. And this isn't all he has. See him and be convinced- ' tf Cash tn lour Checks. All countv warrants registered prior to Nov. 22, 1893, will be paid at my office. Interest ceases after Feb. 16th, 1898.
