THE GRANT COUHTY HEWS. November 1, 1SSO. Nbvmla linft curiosity ii. tho f.hn))0 of n pup born of u wolfu mother and a shepherd dou Its cars fitimd erect and its hair much resembles fur. This animal istaid ; ti;io quite an aminblu disposi tion. Just at the present time there is no JJorth Polo expedition slosh ing around the Arctic Ocean in the attempt to reach one point higher than any previous expedi tion, but one can t tell when some crank will hob up and go sailing away for the purpose of getting his name into head lines. William Kelly, a Montana man, had always declared that ho want ed to diu in his boots. A few days ago ho was fatally gored by an old hiiuo cow, and when dying lie felt so chagrined about it that the boys pulled his boots on, fired their pistols in the air, and made bis last moments as heroic as pos sible. A clerk in one of the depart incuts in Washington has discov ered that "soldiers in the late war were killed in their lirst, third and lifth battles moro than in any oth er." After a soldier is killed in threo battles he ought to have ex perienced enough to escape death in all the subsequent engage ments. Ono Rodney, said to be a pay master in the navy, has beon send ing out postal curds to the news papers of the country advocating the adoption of a constitutional amendment limiting all ptivatu fortunes to $10,000,000. Wo cannot understand just why ho should address such arguments to editors. Why should lie limit our prosperity? While wo are young, enterprising and ambitious, we aro against .Mr. Koducy's proposition. A remarkable state of affairs is reported from the United States i'li"t"in li'iiiM' at Oaoopoos lake on thu Itriti.ili Columbia bonier. Since the advent of llnrrinou's ad ministration, no collector has been stationed there, and now Indians lntvi taki-n piwii'iwiou of tho log tni''tniv, hirmerly iwi-upied li representatives of this govern ment. J u&t across the I mid, her majesty's government, has a line custom houso conducted with all precision usually found in Iiritish outpost, Cliiniitnon and opium are constantly crossing the border without the least restraint. In order to settle an old grudge, an Indian settler named Wankcn shoo, and a wealthy Mexican nam ed Juan Vereja, repaired to a place about six miles from the town of Taos, j net at tho break of day. Tho weapons were butcher knives and the method for light ing was for each man to submit his hand to his opponent and have one linger cut oil, the cutting to bo done alternately, and the man who lirst evinced signs of pain was to bo stabbed to the heart. The Indian, by the toss, secured the lirst cut, and deliberately tak ing the hand of his enemy, with a quick stroke, served his finger. The .Mexican never uttereu a sound. Tho Indian then stretch ed out his hand, and off ennui his thumb. This continued in silence till the Mexican hud lost four fin gers and the Indian four, when thu Indian again reached for his foe's left I in nil. The hitter's sec ond, being frightoned at the fear ful flow of blood, sent a bullet through the Indian's heart. For some time jmst an old negro namod Tobias Jackson, living near Jliriniiighiun, Ala., has been proclaiming himself as Dariel tho Prophet, and doing all kinds of wild ami queer things. Tho other day ho persuaded thrco young ne gro men that they were represen tatives of ShiUlrach, Mcsluiek, and Abednego, the threo children of faith who entered the lirey fur nace. IIo claimed that a fuiiinee, where iron is melted and aast into all kinds of" forms, was tho furnace of NcbiichuducmT, and that thoy could pass through without thu smell of tire. Calling themselves tho threo children of Israel, under tho influence of their now prophet tho threo young men deliberately entered tho gatu of tho cupula of tho furnace, and rushed headlong before thoy could bo stopped, into tho white heat of tho melting iron. When thoy failed to couio out Jackson, tho prophet, proclaims that ho saw them rising in tho air with thesmoko of tho furnace, at tended by angels, and said that thoy would rovisit tho earth again on the nvxt Sunday. Dundy is reported as 8!iy"'(i ii unrriiiotis conversa- i tion which is of doubtful correct ness, that Judge Terry's widow would probably die a violent death. As iN'oaglo has lately re turned from his tour of "protect ing" Field, perhaps ho has orders to shoot the woman on sight. Kast Oregonian. The eastern election returns show that Virginia is Democratic by 110,000 majority. Iowa goes Democratic by from SJ000to7U00. Ohio is very close and the proba bilities are that Campbell, Demo crat, beats Forakor for governor. New York hhows heavy Demo cratic gains; so does New Jersoy. Maseacliusetts is in doubt but probably Democratic by a slight majority. Mohone is snowed un der forever in Virginia. The nowspnpers of thu country havo very properly sat down on Preacher Talmago's appeal for aid to rebuild his burned tabernacle. Talmago's tabernacle has a mem bership of 1,1130. The diamonds of his congregation almost suflice to light up his church. The mem bership represents millions upon millions of dollars. This array of wealth last year gave !U cents per head to tho homo mistiouary coui ety, and 11 cents por capita to the heathen of foreign lauds. This represents their liberality to oth ers. Talmngo draws a salary of $1,000 per month, and makes $iifi,000 per year from his lect ures and tcrmou. Vet ho begs for tho widows' shilling and the orphant's penny to erect n palueo for his milliouaries to display their righes in. Thero is a wealth of dcvilishues in thii proposition.

A largo Northern Central loco motive got looso at lialtiinore, Maryland, and nftcr passing through the tunnel it a terrible speed, and crossed several crowd ed thoroughfares, was turned on to a side track by a sharp switch man, who took in the situation, resulting in tho smash-up of sev eral cars,-knocking a big holo in a warehouse, and completely demol ishing the runaway. Loss $10, 000. To add to the misfortunes of the northwest this year the coun try seems infested with horse tlucvos and incendiary fiends. These villiaus reap their richest harvests when tho country is suf fering from drouth and short crops, and seems to take the greatest de light in human adversity. For several weeks past our exchanges, from different counties, have chronicled fires and theft of hor ses, and a doso of cold lead or hemp-stretching seem almost nec essary to cure tho evil.
