The town he had founded grew very slowly, and was net a place of much lmportauce until the rev olution. In 1771, when the storm was brewing, a company from Exeter, together I with a. party from Portsmouth, attacked liYirt William nnil Mnrv. nt tin riitmiipit of Portsmouth harbor, and after a Blight resistance took possession of its military 'stores, aud removed them te places of 'concealment. This was the first open net jef resistance of the colonies te the author ity of the mother country. i After the Declaration of Independence ' Exeter became the capital of New Hamp shire, nnd continued te be se until tlie ,war was ever. Washington passed .through the place In 1789, when he was received and welcomed by the cnlire pop ulation. After he had dined, and the prominent citizens had paid their ro re spects, nn escort took him te his next stepping place, Haverhill, Mass. The First Congregational church In Exeter was founded by Wheelright, and Is, therefore as old eh the town. There are a number of ether churches, includ ing Methodist, Baptist and Episcopal. The Unitarian society is of modern origin, having been formed in 1851. Exeter is new chietly distinguished as being the seat of the celebrated Phillips Exeter academy, n sort of American Eten.

The Republican party has already nom inated a ticket. The DemecraVlc conven tion is called for Aug. 22, and there are plenty of candidates. Four of them are members of the present congress and three of them are perennial candidates men who have been mentioned as possi bilities for a number of years past. Only ene of them Is quite fresh In the Held, and he is Congressman Ulever, of St. Leuis. The four congress men who are regarded as among tha Democratle possibilities are A. M. Dock Deck erv. of Gallatin: William IT. Hatch, of Hannibal; Martin L. Clardy, of Farming ten, and Jehn M. uiover, or St. Leuis. Mr. Clardy might almost be considered a St. Leuis candidate, as part of his district Is In that city. Mr. Hatch is the eldest of the candidates In the Held. He has been a gubernatorial possibility since 1873. He was spoken of ler this effice long befere he went te congress. Theso who knew hlra only as the chairman of the agricult ural commlttce of the heuse would net Imatrine that he was educated for the bar I and is a practicing lawyer. Mr. Hatch is u iiimvu ui nuuiucuy, nnu was uera in 1833. He was admitted te the bar in 1834. Four yeara later lie was elected circuit attomey of the Sixteenth judicial district of Missouri, and in 18C0 he was re-elected te the position. He wa3 a cap tain in the Confederate army during the war, and at its clese be was assistant i commissioner of exchauge under the car I tcl. He was made a member of congress fcu 1880, nnd he has been ro-elcctcd four times eince. He has made a record In the heuse as chairman of the commlttce en agriculture, which has recently been con ducting the rigorous investigation iule the question of adulterated lard. CengTCSBman A.M.

FANCIES ABOUT IIORSES. FOLK LORE CONCERNING THE WEL(. KNOWN DOMESTIC ANIMAL. The Hene at a Water Sprite Scotland! Water Kelpy nenes Ridden by Wltchei and Falrlet Tarleu Omen and Ba llet A an Emblem. In folk lore the herse figures most as Water sprite. Neptune having tradition ally created the animal, we should net be astonished te find htm powerful at sea. "Mystic water horses, water bulla, et cows, are te be found in the religious sys tems of many nations of old, and they still haunt the Imagination of living men in the shape of dapple gray stallions and brown steers that still rise from soma German lake." These .water horses appear In many lands. In Iceland, Nick, or Unlckur, also called by ether names, appears as a gray horse with hoofs turned backward. When the Ice splits open In the winter It Is said te be the water herse coming up. One was said te have eight feet and ten heads. This steed sometlmes induces young per sons te mount his back when he rushes into the water, and it is said that he cau be tamed, but his bridle must uever be taken off. In the Orkney Islands the water sprite comes as a handseme" liltle horse, with his mane covered with weeds. In the Shetland Islands, Shoepultlo is the name given te him, as well as Nluggle or Nick. An old historical chronicle asserts one was tamed aud werked during the day. Popular accounts represent him as having a tail like a wheel. He Is usually mis cbloveus, stepping mills, carrying persona into the sea, etc TUB TVATETt KELPT. Nearly every Scotch lake or stream had its water kelpy. He would decoy traveler te mount him, and rush into the watei with them. He could be caught by fling ing ever his head ' bridle marked with the sign of the cres-j. A blacksmith, sus plcleus of ene of these water sprites, thrust a het Iren Inte Its slde, reducing It te a neap or Btarcn. . Water horses are called Phoeklo aud 'Anghlsky In Ireland, and are stild te come up out of the lakes, seme of them being carnivorous. One had a serpent's body, with a herse's head. In north Germany Jagewd is the name applled te the water herse. One Is said te have ceme out of lake, harnessed hlmself te a harrow, ami .worried the ether horses te death, j Musquite Indians say Wlhwin, a demon, appears in the shape of a herse. Eastern lore is net without its stories of watet horses. El Kazwlnl, a medlaival Arab writer, Bays Eca horses are larger than theso of the land, and have cloven hoofs and a small mane and tail. Throughout England and Scotland It was formerly supposed that horses were at times ridden by witches and fairies. It was said that if the manes and tails of the horses wcre found te be plaited and knotted together it was a euro sign the fairies had been riding the steeds. Te prevent this, aa well as te guard against the unwolcemo visits of witches, It was the custom te hang about the doers of tha stables and In the stalls and mengers branches of ash or yew, hazel or broom. The horseshoe, nailed up ever the deer, was also efficacious here. When the in mates of tlie stables were found covered with a cold sweat or molsture in the morning It was deemed a sure sign that witches had ridden them during the night. Ner were these beldames satisfied with the chargers thus surreptitiously pre cured. It was wildly bclleved, here and en the continent, that witches wcre nble te transform persons into horses, and that such steeds were ridden te the night ly rendezvous of these hags. VARIOUS OMENS. There are few omens connected with the herse. In Yorkshire, England, it is thought unlucky te bee a vhlte herse. Probably here is a key te the connection between the whlte steed and the ill emeucd red hatred girl. In many parts of England it Is believed that nny person riding a piebald herse is able te euro the whooping cough. Around the neck of a herse In York shire, Bonie years slnce, was found a string tied te a bag made of the thumb of an old gleve, containing the Lord's prayer written en parchment. This was thought te preserve the animal from evil. In the Bame district, if a hersa bocame "foul" or "felleu," the owner cured It by going into the orchard at midnight, cutting into a tUrf from the feet of an apple troe and hanging It lu the branches of the tree. Aa the turf decayed it was said the herse would recover. In Ireland it is thought that you may subdue an unruly herse by whispering in hta car the Creed. It is said that Darius, king of Persia, was chosen ruler by the neighing of his liorse, It having been Jelt tiy let te decide who should held the refus of power by cheesing the neble whose steed nelghed first. The liorse Is a well known emblem In heraldry and in art. It Is frequently fig ured en the tombs in the catacombs, where it Is the emblem of the Bwlftncss of llfe. In early Christian art it typified ceurage aud generosity, and St. Martin, St. Muurlce, St. Geergo, St. Victer aud St. Leen are all represented en horseback. In Aryan mythology the swift flying clouds were Bald te be horses. Gethio ami Gcrmanle tribes Bometlmea sacrificed horses en the funeral piles of their chief tains. F. S. Bassett in Globe-Democrat. Ferks a Modern Invention. It is difficult te realize what a modern Invention the table fork Is. Queen Eliza beth never heard of ene. She had, It is true, a few dainty forks, perchance with crystal handles, for eating preserved fruit at dessert. But long after her time dinner forks were unknown in England. The very earliest new te be found belong te the same nobleman whose hour glass salt has been already spoken of, and these are net elder than the middle of the reign of Charles II. Tlie few early forks of the reign of Geerge I are three pronged, and but few of our neighbors can show ua four pronged forks much bofero the reign of Geerge III, from which time tlielr fashion lias remained unaltered te the present day, except for their handles, which have followed the fashions of spoons, finishing up witli the familiar "fiddle pattern" of Nineteenth century use. Bofero the daj'B of forks the ewer and basin, which have new generally disap peared, were much In request after everv ceurse; whereas new the basin alene, with a little rebe water, makes its appearance at civic leasts alter dinner, as a matter of fashion rather than necessity. Four out of five fine old basins have no doubt been melted up te supply the very forks whose Invention rcudered the washing of the fingers styiorflueus. Murray's Maga zine Interior Peroration la St. Ixnlt. A visit te the houses of Vanduventcr place would reveal te the visitor decora tions and extravagant magnlficcnce which would open his eyes te the amount of fine art in the homes of St. Leuis. In the library of ene gentleman tlie carvings overshadow the beautiful bindings of the books. Over ene window Imgfellew Is carved, ever another Wbltticr, and ever tlie mantle Hawthorne, and a larger book, the leaves represented fluttering and carved witli favorite American books, lu all the houses the servants have separata bath rooms, and, In fact, servants cut an important figure in all these residences, lu some of which there are eight and ten servants. One heuse in particular Is a marvel of luxury, and la being decorated in a way beyond ou all local precedent. I will glve jeu a brief Idea of these decora tions. Tlie parlor Is finished In aatin weed and geld. Tlie mautel Is a finely carved effect, reaching far up and sur mounted by a mirror which Is se high that It does net retlbct anything but the cell ing. The reception room Is finished In blue and gilt, and the library Is hang with Gebelin tapestry, a rare and expensive goods, which people who possess u small piece value very highly. It Is a Four teenth century decoration. The ball room .rin. the third fleer la a crowning effect. This Is reached by a stairway from the porte cechcr, se that ladles la their party wraps will net have te pass in view be bo be fere the guests, but may go at once from their carriage te the dressing rooms. Tlie ball room Is frescoed by hand, and In the center is an old fashioned brick fire place. Tlie very bath rooms are decorated by hand with flowers. It will require ten servants te keep sncli a heuse la 'order. The furnlture is being made te1 order in New Yerk. Such oxtcnslve decorations cost a fortune. Tlicre are a number of residences In the city which have magnificent interiors, representing -an outlay of from $10,000 te f 40,000. It does net require mar.y extras te absorb a big sum, once a man undertakes te put jhls house decorations en a magnificent scale. Twe thousand dollars gees Inte a mantel, $1,000 In curtains or chandeliers tint dairJe the eyes. It is net uncommon te put $3,000 In the parlor alene. Heuse Decorator In Globe-Deuiefrat. THE LONG EARED PEST9. Attempts te Exterminate Babbits In the Australian Celonies. , It la morally certain that Australia and New Zealand, theso rabbit ridden coun tries, will be quick te adept the "drlve" idea, and probably the farmers of theso distant Islands will find' the method mera effective lu the matter of allaying the rabbit nulsance than all the theories of Inoculation. A reporter met a gentleman recenlly who had been largely Identified with. Sasteral Interests both In Australia and Tew Zealand, nnd from him aoine Inter esting facts wcre ascertained In connec tion with the efforts of antipodean agri culturists te combat the plague of the long eared pests. "The 'drive' idea," said the gentleman, "Is net entirely new te Australians. They have for" years employed a some semo seme what similar method of ridding pastoral lauds of the destructive kangaroo." I Frem kangaroos the conversation rifted back te the rabbit question, aud (the gentleman from the antipodes related his oxperienco In the matter, together with the efforts of colonial governments .te subdue the nests. I First of all, I suppese you have heard Ithat valttable pastoral holdings, both In New Zealand and Australia, have had te be abandoned through the depredations of rabbits, and I assure you that the jlesscs theso harmless looking creatures liave entailed liave been very much under estimated. The rabbits In the colonies atoburrewcrs, and this makes, them harder te get at. A few years nge a Bystem' of .fencing with wlre netting was Introduced there, but It only proved oiTectlvo en uni formly level land. Babbits de net. as a rule, burrow en flat places, but where the fence ran ever tlie slightest knell or hill bunny would get his deadly work In by riddling the mound with holes and open ing up an nvcuite te the inner pastures. "un small lieldlngs the owners ebvi ated the difficulty by sinking narrow trenches and Inserting the wlre netting below ground, but the cost this system would entail lrt making a large run rabbit proof would coustltute total abandonment et the place a profit able alteniatlve. It is only ou these large runs that the dep redations are felt severely, as around farms and tillage lands, the constant pres ence of plowmen nnd ether laborers scares away tne colonial rabbit, w uicu is as shy as it is destructive. I have often read of grasshopper plagues In this and ether countries, but I don't think there can be a niore dcsolate sight than that of a run which has been abandoned te rabbits. I beliove that out that Way the furrv de- Btreyers breed tour or live times a ycar "The methods experimented with In order te extermtnate them have been as varied as they wcre eilectlve. Poisoned 'grain was tried, but a short experience Illustrated the fact that valuable sheep and cattle dogs were killed through cat ling poisoned rabbits, while sheep wcre 'occasionally poisoned by eating the grain. Then an enterprising German came along nnu announced te me long suucring co lonial stockmen that he had an lufalllbla rcmedy for the curse. Ills plan was te Inject some poisonous acids Inte the bur rows, but as far as npnenred en the sur- 'face the rabbits devoured his patent medt medt cieo nnd asked for mere; Then we began te introduce ferrets and kindred email hut vindictive animals, which It was expected would gllde noiselessly Inte the burrows, 'and In tlme wine the rabbits off our sec- tlen of the glebo. The ferrets, howevor, after a while tired of an excluslve rabbit diet and turned their attention te poultry. They have also been known te attack children, there belug ene case In particular whero a child nt Damara, New Zealand, had its evps nearlv i:itin out befnrn us. slstance arrived, i hnve net heard any thing auent tlie fenct question lately, Ibut I should net wonder if the colonists j are net, in pursuance of tlie chain of do de do 'structlen they have organized, looking .around for seme antidote te ferrets. The only method that has been In any manner lollectlve lu keeping the rabbits down In Itlie colonies has been tlie employment of Inieu known as rabbi ters. They are, as n rule, clever w Ith the fowling piece, and the run-holders supply them with ammunition and 'tucker' (Angllce, previsions). They 'wage a steady and merciless war en the Ipests, and as rabbit skins preperly cured ttiid a ready sale, rabbiting Is a fairly lucrative caning, me introduction or this method of meeting the difficulty en the New Zealand slde has been brought about by the establishment of a rabbit de- iportment, the maintenance of which cdMs the government $100,000 a year.

Youth's Companion. Cricket In Algeria. Accounts are published of the devasta tion caused by crickets In Algeria. The insects resemble but are net Identical with either locusts or grasshoppers. Iist year swarms of grasshoppers ravaged the colony. This year the crickets have taken their place. They spring like grasshop pers, but have a mere rapid and sustained Jiight. They form clouds which shut out the light of thu sun. When they alight en the ground they destroy every trace of vegetation. They sometimes fall ex hausted en the ground lu bucIi numbcm ,a te cover It with a layer of dead bodies, )rem which pestilential exhalations arlss. The co-respondent of a Paris newspapt. in a letter from Algeria, says that tie 'railway trains have been stepixd by tha insects between Constantine and Batna. The methed still employed te check the evil in the African possessions of Frauea is the old and oxpcnalve ene of digging long trenches at aright ungle te the ad vancing swarms, and placing en the most distant slde a sort of fence formed by a web of cloth. Tlie advancing insects Btrike against the cloth, fall Inte the pit, aud are there covered with lime or meld.
