News from the Dia mond and Empire was anxiously awaited in some of the saloons each night as to the count. The reports were very conflicting. All sorts of stories were set afloat as to the records of “Dick” and “Bill.” Both the lads kept their own mouths shut close. No body could get a wonl out of either, and nobody real!}- knew what each was doing. .Even the watchers were in the dark. The contest closed on Monday night nnd great crowds flocked into several prominent sport ing places in town to hear the result. The judges gave sworn testimony of the count. The score for the thirty flays’ killing stood as follows: Dick, 3,410; Bill, 1,05<> —an ave rage of eighty rats a day for Dick and sixty five for Bill. Dick’s biggest week was the last, when he killed no less than (iIH rodents. A careful estimate places the weight of the rats slaughtered by Dick at over four tons. A purse was made up and presented to “Blinky Bill.” Dick’s method, it is said, of catching the rats washy living barrels along their runways and by setting lines with baited hooks for them. He is proud of the championship, and another match will be arranged soon between the two boys. The other latls who entered were practi cally out of the race the first week. The miners who won on little Dick all chipped in something for him subsequently, and it is said he carried home to his widowed mother last night nearly SIOO. PIONEER EXPERIENCES. How a Helena Editor Fought His Way to Peace. From the San Francisco Examiner. T. W. Fisk, editor and proprietor of the Helena (Mon.) Herald , is in town and is stopping at the Palace. Mr. Fisk is a son-in law of Mujor Walker, who is a brother-in law of Janies G. Blaine. Speaking of the weather of the past winter, he says it was the most severe that Montana lias ever expe rienced. ami stock interests have suffered seriously. In several districts provisions were scarce. Helena is now an enterprising city of 12,000 people, with three railway lines, and more will be added in the near future. When Mr. Fisk went to the [dace it was a mereeamis— •one of the old time mining camps that Cali fornia people know all about. The camp was inhabited by about 8,000 Missourians, nearly all Confederate army men, who emigrated there at the close of the civil war. Mr. Fisk went into the country un known, and lieing a printer and ail enter prising young man, ho observed with pleas ure the field for a paper. He did not think long over the scheme, but got a supply of type and other material which be stored in a two-story log house, ( where the brick ofljco of the Herald now stands. It took some time to get matters systema tized, but with the assistance of the guerrilla Missourians, the first number was at last issued. It was ati evening paper. Early next morning a howling mob gathered in front of the newspaper office. The sheet was Republican in tone. Every one of the 3,000 Missourians was Democratic to the bnck bone, nnd the principles of the journal and the [xilirics of the people did not harmonize. Mr. Fisk was in the top story throwing in type and heard the mob. He was not at all agitated and continued his work. The noise below became more threatening, and when a leader rose to a point of order and suggested that further publication be suppressed, his speech was hailed with satisfaction. It was unanimously agreed that the office should be torn down and everything de stroyed and the editor be escorted out of camp. They made a rush to demolish the door. Fisk, noting the progressed state of hostilities, threw open a small window on the second story and stuck his head out. He called on the mob to desist. They answered with yells of derision. “I can thrash the best man among you,” yelled out the object of attack. A prize flight was always a treat in camp and Fisk’s challenge was accepted with cheers. “I’ll be down in a minute.” he called out. as lie shut the window. When he faced tie mob he was attired in fighting costume, and under the tree which shaded the office ho looked like some antique god in his sylvan haunts. The Missourians brought forth a regular Hercules, but not a tremor could be noted on F<ik’s physique as he looked upon his adversary. A ring was formed and the battle began. Fisk was an athlete and in robust development and he possessed an abundance of courage. The Missourian was a giant, but as clumsy as they make them. He hit out at Fisk, who dodged and landed a stinging right hander on the giant’s left cheek that brought the claret. From this time on the battle was Fisk’s, mid when he had grassed the champion and put him in a sound sleep ho opened his office door and every one of the guerrillas in town subscrib ed tin- the paper and paid a year’s subscrip ton in advance. A month afterward another strong Re publican article appeared in the paper and Fisk was arrested and taken before Judge Davis. The court considered the offense a very serious one and fined the defendant s">o for trying to corrupt the morals of the peo ple. Fisk published light, along and the jiaper paid immense dividends. EATEN BY WOOD MICE. A Hunter Tries to Account for the Scar city of Shed Deers’ Horns. From the Chicayo New*. ‘•What becomes of doer horns?” is often asked of persons residing in regions where doer are pleutiful, but is rarely satisfactori ly answered. That the horns are shed an nually there are no good reasons lor doubt ing, for it is a well-established fact; but that the horns are rarely found is also quite as true, us : luted by Mr. Yoder in the American Agriculturist for February. I w9l remem ber looking for shed deer horns, many yean ago, in the woods of Wisconsin, and during one of these rambles, extending over only a few hours, I saw fifty-seven very lively deer, some with very handsome antlers, but failed to find a vestige of an old horn. L’|ion inquiring of old hunters, who wore supposed to know about the habits of doer, 1 was informed that when a buck dropped ti horn he itumed lately dug u hole m the ground und buried it out of sight. Upon further investigation, however, I was unable to tliiil a person who ever saw a deer per forming the operation, or on* who ever found u horn that hud lieen buried by its owner or any other similar animal. But in late yniii-x I have bad several opportunities to learn where some of the naturally sited deer horns go, if not all of thrill.

WRITTEN ON HIS KNEE. How Abraham Lincoln Composed Hia Celebrated Gettysburg Oration. “I saw otic of the most splendid of com positions in the English tongue written,” said ex-Congressman Edward McPherson to a New York Sun reporter while chatting about some of his recollections of Lincoln recently. “I believe that it is admitted now by scholars that for sublimity of thought, simplicity and yet elegance of expression, lucidity and purity of diction, Mr. Lincoln's brief oration at the dedication of the Na tional cemetery at Gettysburg takes place with the loftiest specimens of oratory. Many regard it ns the one oration of this century that will be preserved with the English tongue. Yetr Mr. Lincoln wrote it on his knee in a railroad car. It was’ prac tically an extemporaneous composition: that is, in tlie sense that it was wholly unpre meditated. He simply committed to paper the thought that was uppermost in his mind, and he had no idea whatever that he had written anything more than a passing thought in the event that he was to assist in commemorating. “1 represented the Gettysburg district in Congress at the time of the battle, and at the dedication of the cemetery Mr. Lincoln was my guest. He was not sure that he could t;e present when he was first asked, but said that he should go to Gettysburg if possible. I think he was not prepared to say positively that he would go until a very few hours before the time set for leaving Wash ington. So he could not have given any thought to the oration before. 1 was las seatmate in the car, and though he talk ed pleasantly, and spoke of the country through which we were passing, yet I thought he was laboring with one of those spells of profound melancholy with which he was at times afflicted. He spoke of Mr. Everett, who was to deliver the chief ora tion, and said that Everett ought to be at his best. I knew that Mr. Everett had given even more than his usual c are in pre paring this oration, and looked upon his work as a masteipieee, and i believe I told Mr. Lincoln so. and ho said that the theme was great enough to inspire such an orator as Everett to his best. Mr. Lincoln, I think, had not thought of saying anything himsaif, but I told him that he would be expected to make a few remarks, for it would not be per mitted for him to be silent. He sat for some moments absorbed in thought, and at, last began to feel in his pockets, as if for loose paper. I asked him if he wanted pa per and pencil, and he said, ‘ Yes, a scrap of paper,” and I opened my valise and gave him two or three sheets of note paper. He drew up his long knees, and, putting a bok on them, wrote, jotting down, as 1 sup posed, a few heads or suggestions. He wrote right along, without hesitation or erasure, and filled one page and a part of another. Then he folded it up and put it in his pocket, simply saying that he had set down a few lines that had occurred to him to say. “At the cemetery at the proper time he arose, put on his spectacles, and drew these sheets from his pocket. Ido not think he had looked at them again after writing them in the cars, and in a low voice, which could be heard but a few feet away from the stage, he read those splendid lines. The few who heard him were most profoundly impressed, but upon the vast throng who saw him the oration made no impression whatever, because few heard it. No proper report of the oration was mnde und Mr. Lincoln crumpled the manu script up and would very likely have thrown it away if I had not asked him for it. It was not until it had been printed in a news paper and then widely copied that its won derful beauty, both in thought and literary workmanship, was recognized, and Mr. Lin coln was very much surprised to learn that scholars wore quoting it as the best model of pure English and true eloquence the lan guage had furnished, at least in America.” A BLIND INVENTOR. Constructing a Magazine Gun Without the Aid of Sight. English Letter From Vienna. I have had the opportunity of meeting the inventor of anew rifle, Herr Franz Fortelka. a former lieutenant in . the Austrian army, who, during the first campaign in Bosnia, received a shot in liis right eye, which destroyed the optic nerve and indirectly so affected the left eye that the poor officer, now only 38 years old, has lieen for the last nine years totally blind. But without the uso of his eyesight this ingenious man lias invented during these years not only anew magazine rifle, but also two machines for the anti oxidation of iron, steel and other metals, at a cost which must lie called ridiculously small; further, an ap paratus for automatical napping, anew micrometer, anew sort of gunpowder, not to speak of smaller inventions which found their way into the lesser industrial establish ments of Vienna and saved the inventor from starvation, as his greater discovert© , far from bringing him money as yet, neccs sitato an outlay which he can afford only by extreme personal privations. “My rifle,’ complained the unfortunate inventor, “would have long been in the hands of the British government had the advance mom y which 1 obtained from a private person in London lieen more than t!3O, which did not suffice for the wages of the oue workman wiio assists mo and the neeesary material. Now at last it is finished, and though 1 may fall i.ito tlie fault of all inventors, I consid er it the best riffle existing, being without the disadvantages of other machine rifles, and with many advantages over them. 1 can prove by my Austrian mid German INitentH of some live years ago that the straight pull system which distinguishes every modern rifle, and in itself, without tlie machine, secures the double effect, has been my invention. Upon this and upon other appropriations in the same line by different snceessful inventors Ido not lay any stress. There is my new rillb, which, in short, has the following advantages: It can lie used as a single loader even with an uctached magazine; the cartridges are not thrown into the magazine in a loose form, but lie one above the other, without the possibility of placing them wrongly; the magazine can lie attached or not at will, all parts are solid, no spiral spring exists in tie rifle; the price of my wcm|jou with royalty and every tiling else" will Is* under t3. Every old system, with the exception of Wcmdl's. can lie us' * I for tram formation into my rifle at a cost of s or 10 shillings—less in the case 'ol' Gras, Mauser, Berdan or Beaumont, and something more ill the case of the Henry Martini." “And how can you make any invention, especially such a complicated one as a rifle, without, unfortunately, lieing übleto***' the si jniiHte |rfs. nnd how ate your ilevlccs e o i /. .I ..Hi l.\ tlie workmen f* “J ms< with my fingers.

I do this that people wtio go on year alter year paying out large sums of money to incompetent physicians and receive no cure, or even relief, or end in filling a premature grave, as was nearly my case, may lie indueed to make a trial of the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. At the age of three months a rush made its appearance on my face. A physician was called. He said teething was the cause. He prescribed some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to my ears and head. Another M. D. was called. He professed to know all about the case, called it "King's Evil.” and prescribed gunpowder, brimstone and laid mixed into a salve, nut the disease continued. They could rot. do anything w ith it. Another prescribed bore*, wpter and flour; another, linseed poultices. NCV ;iwiii did me any good at all. but made me worse. The disease continued unabated; it spread to my arms and-legs, fill l was laid up entirely, and from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so I lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless. My mother would have to lift me out and Into bed. 1 could get around the house on my hands and feet, but I could not get my clothes on at all, and had to wear a sort of dressing gown. Jly hair had all matted down or fallen off, and my head, face and ears were one scab, and I had to have a towel on my head all the time in the summer to keep the flies off. My parents consulted a prom inent physician and surgeon here in (Jhicugi 1 1 he other physicians before mentioned were of Llun das and Hamilton, Canada). He said he could do nothing for me, that the chances were that 1 would grow out of it, or that it would strike in wardly and kill me in time. He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs so that 1 could walk, but I would not let him, for if I did get lie tier 1 would have no control of them. The disease continued in this manner until I was seventeen years old. and one day In January. 1879, in the Chicago Tribune, I read an account of your medicines. They described my case so exactly that I thought, as a last resort, to give them a trial. When I first applied the CVTieritA I was all raw and bleeding from scratching myself, but when 1 applied it I went asleep almost immedi ately, something ! had not done for years, the effect was so soothing.
