Petition of Residents of Nhoahon County Jfribseuted to Wat Departmcot Governor Steunenberg- of Idaho has presented in person to Secretary Root the petition to which he referred while UDder examination before the house committee on military affairs, in favor of the retention of the 'ederal troops in the disturbed mining' districts. The governor had refused to produce the petition before the committee until he ! had first submitted it to the secretary rt ...i . . i i The petitioD bears about 2,500 signatures, signa-tures, and recites that all of the signers are citizens of Idaho anil of the county of Shoshone and the Coeur d' Alene mining district. They petition that the secretary of war allow the small force of federal troops to remain in the quarters provided for them and occupied by them at the town ol Os born, Shoshone county, for as long a time as Governor SLeuneuberg' may think their presence necessary for the preservation of peace and order. The citizens also express their ap proval of all the acts that have been done b3' the governor and the officials of the state to preserve peace and order and to bring criminals to justice. MONARCHY FOR BRAZIL. Details of a Plot to Oven hrow the Republic Repub-lic Expoaed and Frustrated. An official of the state department, just returned from Brazil, has furnish ed some interesting details in regard to the recent attempt of a clique of Brazilian army officers to incite a revo-ution revo-ution and establish a monarchy there. The plan of action, the official says, was to create a military riot in front of the president's palace, during which Campos Salles was to be assassinated, an officer of the evolutionary bund declared de-clared ruler and Brazil proclaimed a monarchy. It seems, however, that owing to information in-formation furnished by an army officer, fully cognizant of the brewing con- j spiracy, the president was at all times aware of the plans and the progress of the revolutionists. Two prominent ; generals in the army were involved in uhe Plot' but exP tor their small fol lowing the army stood hrm for the president, and the project came to naught but punishment for the oit'end-ers. oit'end-ers. LIVE STOCK CENSUS. It Thoroughness Will be of ir'at Help to Stkinni. The coming census of live stock will undertake three new features, elasifi-cation elasifi-cation by age and partly by sex, and use and account of pure blood animals: and an enumeration of stock not on farms and ranges, these last amounting amount-ing to several million head. i The age classification was under taken in response to a demand of the stockmen who felt that the mere enumeration of animals regard less of age and use was about as valueless as a count of inhabitants without distinction distinc-tion of age, sex. color and occupation. They expressed a desire to secure a basis for calculating the approximate number of live stock and the productive produc-tive capacity of the entire mass of cattle or sheep for any particular season, and the schedules have been prepared to meet their wishes. KEEP AWAY FROM KOREA. No Place ill That Country For Amerl-. cans. Consul-General Horace X. Allen at Seoul writes to the state department relative to the numerous requests of young men in this country, who have recently left the service of the United States, asking for positions as military advisers or instructors in the Korean army, that there is no demand for their i services in that capacity, Korea having ! announced her intention to dispense j with foreign assistance of this kind.

By the edge of the hatchet we possessed I fashioned for my own use a kind of spear, about six feet long, hewn out of a piece of fine teak wood, which I found upon the beach. This weapon I made and pointed with great care, and armed with it frequently lay in watch for the sea-lions, sea-lions, but without success. On the shore, at this season, when the sunshine was reflected from ih sloping faces of the volcnntc rocks and from the surface of th- sea, the heat was beyond all descr'ption intense, breathless and suffocating, so that the lungs would collapse painfully in the difficulty of respiration. To breathe was like attempting it at the mouth of a newly-opened fur nace, and so 1 usually reti:ed inland j and sought the cool solitude of the deep thickets, or wandered through j groves of solemn, impressive and ma- j jcstic old trees; for some were there so old that they must have cast the ; slr4fcsof their foliage on Alphonso de Albuquerque or Tristan da Cud ha and tneir bearded followers. ; How many ocean stoims had swept their leaves into the waste of waters since then! We had now hern five days on the island without a sail being seen, though more than half our time was spent in watching the horizon: and so Tom Lambottnies' old Fliirt still waved in vain from the boym-end on the nu -n, tain-top. On the fifth day, however, to our surprise, the signal was no longer visible, vis-ible, so we supposed that a gust of ir.d had overthrown it in the night. Lambourtie, Carlton and Probar rtarted for the moiu.tain-top to re-etore re-etore it, while ITislon and I rambled lato the woods, where we had a view jf the shii;ir.g sea to the westward. T he waves came in :;g rollers, as there was a fresh 1 r." v:e blowing from the west, and the foam rose white and high on the tremendous bluffs of the Inaccessible Isles, as we named them. All the water Let ween them was a sheet of sparkling and snowy froth, aniid which, had we been nearer, we should doubtlvss have seen the bla..k heads of the son! Ions, as tbey sported in the spray and sunshine. On asking Hislop how far he thought we were from the continents of Africa and South America, he teplied, without hesitation: . "We are about fifteen hundred miles f:om the mouth of the. Rio de la Plata on the westward, ami twelve hundred odd from the Cape of Good Hope on the east; but there is land nearer to us " "Land nearer!" 1 reiterated. "There are the three isles of Tristan da Cunha, and ibout five hundred miles southwest of us a desotate rock called the Isle of D'crro Alv.in-z; and fortunate fortu-nate it is indeed for u.- that we were not cast away there, as it yields only mofsy grass and now and then a few seals or sea-elephants may he seen upon up-on the reefs about it.

It rot. I say. bring all this to mind, when from here we can watch the wcves that rose, perhaps, between the shores cf Mexico, rolling in foam between these rocky isles? Do you reicember Homer's description of the curling wave?" And without waiting my icp'y he Vegan to recite from the Hind with wonderful facility: "As on the hoare, resounding shore, when biov.s the stormy west, The billowy tide conies surging wide, from ocean's dark blue breast; First in mid-sea 'tis born, then swells a r.d rages more and more. And roiling on with snowy back, comes thundering near the shore; Then rears it crest, firm and sublime, and with tumultuous bray Smites the grim front of the rugged vork, and spits the briny spray." How far Hislop, in his classical enthusiasm en-thusiasm might have pursued his free translation, till we had all the deed. cf Agaruemnon and others on that tre mendous day before the walls of Troy, I cannot say, had not a crashing sound j in the adjacent thicket roused and i alarmed us. We started up and had just time to conceal ourselves behind the trunk of : a tree when a herd of seven wild boars came plunging out of the thicket to drink at s tttuncl which flowed toward the sea. They were unlike any of the swinish swin-ish raro we had ever seen before, and ; but for cur vague sensations of alarm we could have watched them with I pleasure, as they inserted their long. I fierce snouts i:i the water that sparkled uEder the forest leaves, j They were till broad-shouldered ani-! ani-! reals, with high crests and thick, j ! bristly maiit.s, and eli were black in ; color or darkly hrindled. j Unlike those of the sty-fed hogs, to which we had been accustomed t home, their erected bristles shove like j silver or polished t;teel in the rays of ! Ftmshire that fell through the wnvhrv j branches, their eyes weie flashing and j clear, and their skins were all clean, j as if washed for a show of prize pigs. Thin flanked, active and strong, they : i began to grunt and gambol, and to j eplitsh t"p the suddenly they c e.Mttcring water, till ragl.i sight of us. and all Hcd, save one. a fierce old hoar, which, after tearing i:; the grass with his hind feet, came resolutely forward. Ehcwiug a pair of tusks ths.t mnde me tremble for the calves of my legs if I ventured to run off. and still more for those of poor Hislop, who wis alike unable to escape or confront him.

Excited and bewildered, as he came on at a fmick ran. I charged my weapon weap-on full at him, and by the mercy of Providence, the point entered one of his fierce, glittering eyes, which made him rear t j and recoil, while in his lago and pain the bnsMcs'on his ridgy hack rosa up like little blades of steel. "Into bis throat, with your spear!" cried Hislop: but I anticipated the suggestion, sug-gestion, fur c-rc the words had left his lip3 I bad buried thrusting deep with all the forte th:U excitement and terror ter-ror gave me--the pointed teakwood shaft down hi a. red and gapin; throat.

But aa he Hy there on his back and sides alternately, snorting, roaring and cover ng the gras with bloody froth, and taring it by his bristles. Hislop s;prr.r.g forwaid and though weak with many hr.'.f-hted wounds, drove a clasp-knife i pi iy into the throat and stomach of the monster, which soon lay still enough. When u was Quite dead I drew out my teakwood spear, and found the point almost uniitjured, for I had hardened hard-ened it in fire. We thrust two crooked branches through the tendons of the boar's hind legs, and by these drew it to our hut, which was about half a mile distant; there our prize caused great congratulation congratu-lation among our crew, and I obtained no little praise for performing so hardy a feat. Our return diverted for a time some excitement and surprise which had been caused by the return of Tom Lambotirne. Prohurt and Carlton from the mountain tup, with tidings that the studding sail boom had vanished, and that tioi a tr.uo of it was to be found anvw !. re' CHAPTER XXX.

By what agency had this disap- pearance crtne to pass ? That it v, as the work of wild animals ani-mals could net for a moment be conceived; con-ceived; so the event filled us with va.Liue, but vcty alarming conjecture. With his hatchet. Probart the carpenter car-penter cut clown and prepared a long and slender tree to replace the lost boom on the top of the DeviPs mountain, moun-tain, as we now termed it; and while one portion of us as-isted him in this. Hie other set about the capture of some of the wild goats with which the voCus abounded, as we were anxious to p-.ocure the milk of the females, and Tie (lesii of their kids. This was a most arduous task, as they were so fleet of foot; and when j I'ursueu, or when in search of those outer and astringent plants of which they are so fond, they could gain the most dangerous pinnacles and ledges of rock that, overhung the sea. In such laces there grew a kind ot wild laburnum, labur-num, and Hislop did not fail to remind re-mind me mat Theocritus described ;t as the favorite food of the goat. We ofter saw these agile quadru- peels spring, without pause fear or ! Hesitation, from nir.n.irlo tn r.soi j or from ledge to ledge of rock where, i had they missed footin they must have fallen a thousand feet or more, tither into the ocean on one side, or some ravine on the other, and there. percnen rar aiort. tney would remain, looking at us quietly, and reminding me of th couplet: li ,h hung in air the hoary croat re clined, His streaming beard the sport of every wind." By great industry, and the exertion of incredible labor and activity, we succeeded In capturing five, by isolating isolat-ing them from their flocks, and chasing chas-ing them into chasms and corners from which they had no means of escape, es-cape, and then we secured them by the running rigging of the long boat. Some of the females afforded milk, a rarity at-d nourishment to us who had been so long at sea. The flesh of a kid j we thought delicious, and lest we j should tire of roasted and broiled, Jack j Burnet, the ship's cook, contrived to ! boil some pieces of a goat in its own skin, stretched upon sticks, with a fire underneath, salt for a spice, and sliced pumpkin for vegetables. Of the hotns, when carefully scraped and cleaned, we made very efficient drinking cups, in which our rum, duly mixed with water, was doled out to us by H'slop, ihe keeper of our provision pro-vision store. The eggs of the sea birds were a constant object of search, and being an expert climber. I frequently collected collect-ed great numbers of those laid in the crevices of the rocks by the sea gull and storm-finch. Our life was or.e of perpetual exposure expos-ure ami daily activity. Though overpowering over-powering !y hot at noon, the atmos- i phere of the morning ar?d evening was ! delight fill, and. as thse portions oi j the dav ?,crp sert in hunting for food, the tirn" passed ra'.idly, but His- j lop's chi?f frai e'as that if we were not taken off by some ship before the ' rainy season set. in. our d'scomfort and j dnnger from agues would become very j great. By the tim we had ben fourteen ' flays on the island he was recovered so far as to be able to join me in making an exploration of it, or rather in walking all around it. The circumference of the largest, isle is only four leagues, but its shores are so steep and rod y in some places that traversing them proved a most arduous ardu-ous task. Oa the eastern side we found a great cascade pouring from a brow of rock upon the beach. The latter was covered cov-ered almost everywhere by a broad-leaved broad-leaved seaweed, the dark and slimy tendrils of which were several yards in length and were termed by Hislop "the gigantic fucus." So day p.fter day passed, ard, amid cur various means of procuring food.-we food.-we never failed to keep a keen lookout to 'seaward for a passing sail; but none cam rear that lonely islet of the southern f a. One morning I found there had drifted ashore near our hut a mass of that mysterious substance, the origin cf which has puzzled so many naturalists natural-ists ambergris. It must have weighed weigh-ed more than a hundred pounds, and when we threw some of it Into the fire it melted and diffused around a most agreeable perfume. This marine production, pro-duction, which is only to be found in the seas or on the shores of Africa and Brazil, is alleged by some to be a concretion formed in the stomach of the spermaceti whale. On the fifteenth morning after our landing a seaman named Henry Warren, War-ren, who went to milk our goats, which had been tethered to a large tree near the hut, returned In haste to announce that the ropes which had secured them were cut, apparently by a sharp instrument cut clean through and that the goats, the capture of which had cost us so much labor, were gone. "Cut? Dy whom?" asked every one. Before we had time to consider this, Hislop came cut of the hut, and stated that one of our three bread bags had also been cut open, by a slash from a knife, apparently, and that several pounds of biscuits had been abstracted The strange alarm, and what was worse, the doubt of each other, whict these discoeries excited, were painful and bewildering. We examined the pl:ce where the goats had been tethered, but could dis cover no traces of feet, and nothing remained but the ends of the ropet (the long boat sheets and halliards) tied to the stem of a tree. (To be continued.) YANKEE ADVERTISING DODGE. Shrewd Hustler makes a Good Cleau-Cp with Cheap Cigars. From the Detroit Journal: An ex-collector ex-collector of customs relates this as among his experiences: "Some years ago and shortly prior to the holidays a man came into the office and said that he wanted to talk with me personally. per-sonally. He looked like an unsophisticated unsophis-ticated fellow who had come in from the country to try his hand at business, though he had sharp features and a nasal twang. " 'Mister,' he began, when we were alone, 'I'm in a kind of a sjiarl, and I've come to you because I want to do the square thing. I had a nice lot of Havaney cigars shipped to Windsor, thinkin' I could do a stroke sellin' 'em here in Detroit. I had a man there to take rare of 'em till I came on, but "- mg notion auout tne law packs them cigars in a boat and brine em over here without payin' no duty.

He took me to the little oora ne had rented and showed me hundred,-of hundred,-of boxes on which he had pai l th" duty, and I let the matter drop. It got into the papers, even to my verdict as to the quality of the cigars. "Then my honest Yankee made a special Christmas sale, patronized chiefly by ladies who did not care so much about price as they did about the credit of having once selected good goods. He was closed out in no time and disappeared. There was a rank odor in the local atmosphere that Christmas. The cigars were cheap Connecticut fillers and cheaper Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania wrappers. The cigars he gave were a -ringer.' Uncle Sam got money that did not belong to him, but it was an advertising scheme out of which the Yankee made a fat thing." A Zulu Url legroom. The daughter of Zulu in comfortable comfort-able circumstances does not leave her father's kraal without much pomp and many queer rites, which doubtless are held by her people in high estimation. It may be noted, too, that the marriage customs of these dusky Africans are subject to innumerable variations, each tribe having its own peculiarities. peculiari-ties. Hairdiessing, by the way, is an important feature both to the bride and bridegroom, and the attention paid to the coiffure of the pair would j shame the performance of a West end ; hairdresser who arranges a bride's locks and fastens the orange hiosnm chaplet. A cone-shaped erection, for instance, is the lawful coiffure of a Zulu wife, and this cannot be legally worn till the marriage rites are duly completed. Save for the all-important cone, the he;., of a Zulu bride is closely close-ly snaved, an assegai being used for the purpose; whilst, as soon as a youth is of a marriageable age, his head is shorn to leave a ring round the scalp, and then liberally besmeared besmear-ed with fat and ochre, without which unguents no i-ulu would feel fittingly decorated for his bride. When the bridegroom-elect has been shorn cf all his hair save the wool on the crown, which is trained in a circular shape and SOme four inches in diameter a ring is sewn to this, of gum atd charcoal; char-coal; in this the Zulu thrusts long snuff spoons, needles, and small utility articles, and is very proud of his ring, which is the badge of manhood. From "Cassell's Magazine" for March. Saved by a Fender. A stirring account of a picturesque street accident in Buffalo, New York, is furnished by the Courier of that city. As a trolley car ran at high speed down the hill from High street and dashed past North street it struck Miss Nellie Cahill. who had attempted to cross the track in front of it oh a bicycle. The bicycle ran on the fender fen-der and struck the front of the car with terrific force. Miss Cahill fell from heV wheel and landed on the fender. Her bicycle was by her side for a distance of forty or fifty feet, when its rear wheel was caught by some obstruction on the paemcnt and the wheel was tumbled off and thrown to one side ot the car. Miss Cahill clutched the iron frame of the fender and bravely kept her position. The skirt of her dress which fell over the side of the fender, caught an obstruction, and several times, as pieces of the garment were torn away, the strength of the young woman was tested severely,' but she held on. The car, with Miss Cahill on the fender, ran a distance equal to an ordinary half block, when it stopped. Miss Cahill didn't wait to be lifted from her seat. She wasn't hurt, and her bicycle was only slightly damaged. The Kaiser's Two Sides. While Pouitney Bigelow was in the midst of a lecture before the Sesame Club (London) on "The human side of the German emperor," a witty lady In the audience scribbled down these lines and sent them up to the speaker.
