NO MORE 50-CENT NOTES.
THE COMMISSION' DECIDE TO ACCEPT ANY
CHANGE THAT ISN'T COUNTERFEIT.
The arbitrary rule enforced at the gates
on the opening day, of requiring the pay
ment of a fifty-cent note or silver piece as
the only fee for admission, has been dis
pensed with or modified, so' that all pay
visitors to the grounds can now enter upon
presenting fifty cents' worth of money in
notes or specie of any amount. Two quar
ters of a dollar or five ten-cent notes have
as much potency in gaining entrance as had
at first a silver half dollar alone. Where
several persons entering arc paid for by
one of the party, the turnstile keeper will
receive the aggregate amount for the whole
number, but must not be expected to make
change. Thus, a two-dollar bill will admit
four persons, but where the party consists
of an odd number the exact amount of the
extra fifty cents must be furnished.
Knew What Ho Was Hucgiiis.
A couple from the country came to the
city yesterday, procured a license, and were
married in due form. They left on the
i'fternoon train for home. They attracted
the attention of every passenger by their
lavish dsiplay of a fleet ion. The young man
kept his arm tight around the bride's waist,
as if be was afraid she would vanish before
he knew it ; and she didn't seem to care if
he hugged her right along for half a day.
She was so terribly homely that everybody
wondered how he could love her, and by-and-by
he seemed to think that an explana
tion would be in order, lie borrowed a
chow of tobacco of a man near the door,
and remarked : "I'm going to hug that
girl all the way home, though I know she
isn't purty." "I wouldn't' briefly respond
ed the man. "And that's where you'd fool
yourself," continued the young man.
'When I'm hugging a hundred acres of
clean, nice land, with forty head of rtoek
on it, I can make the homeliest girl in the
world look like an angel to me."
Lynching of Horse-Thieves.
The Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain gives the
particulars of the lynching of two horse
thieves near Dodge City, on the Atchison,
Topeka k Santa Fe Bailroad, a few nights
ago. The two men were taken by a mob
to a patch of woods on Saw-Log Creek.
They were blindfolded, their arms pin
ioned, and placed in the center of a circle.
Then one of the '-vigilants" pulled a
Testament from one pocket and a bottle
of whisky from the other, and exclaiming,
"Here, boys is peace for the dead and
consolation" for the living," proceeded to
read a chapter, while the bottle was passed
from mouth to mouth until its contents
were exhausted. At the conclusion of this
interesting ceremony, the thieves were
stretched up to the limb oi a cotton wood
tree, face to face, their fett almost touch
ing the ground. Both were buried on the
spot in a shallow trench, and then the
avengers returned to town, well satified
with their day's work. The names oi the
unfortunates are Cole and Callahan. The
father of the latter is a minister at Topeka.
How a Horse Captured a Wolf.
From the Rarrie ( Canada) Gazette.
3Ir. John Davis a farmer in Sullivan
township, Grey county, owns a horse which
has a habit of getting out of its pasture
field. The other night the farmer, as an
exeriment, tied the horse's fore feet to
gether, and left him, hoping that his scheme
would cure the horse of, or at least prevent
him indulging in, his bad habits. That
niht a rack of wolves visited the neigh
borhood, their howls being plainly heard by
the occupant of Nr. Davis' house. In the
morning, however, they had disappeared,
and the farmer having business some dis
tance away, left to transact it. II is child
ren, going to school, had occasion to pass
by the pasture field in which was the
breachv horse, and, remembering the visit
of the wolves during the night, they went
in to look after the horse's safety. There
was the animal, right enough, apparently,
but standing in a singular position away Oxl in
the field. The children approached seemed
more strange. At last they boldly came
up close, and discovered the cause of the
animal's strange condition. A large gray
wolf was under his fore feet, pinned down
to the ground, so to speak, by the chain
fettering the horse's limbs, and secured in
such a away that escape was impossible.
The plucky horse had evidently been at
tacked by the savage brutes, and after a
fr-illiint fiirht he had not only routed his as
sailants, but managed in this singular way
to capture one. No one being around to
relieve the horse, he had to hold his cap
tive till Mr. Davis returned five hours
when the wolf was dispatched, his scalp
taken to a magistrate, the bonus got for,
it, and the brave horse treated to an extra
feed of oats. With the exception of a few
bites on the neck, "the horse that captured
a wolf" came out of the battle compara
tively uninjured.

Can any of our sportsmen beat this
tough story from the Canadian Farmer
about a man named Cangley, who went to
St. Mary's bay geese hunting. Seeing a
moose on the opposite shore he fired, and
at the same moment a porpoise leaped from
the water, and the bullet killed both it and
the moose. The porpoise floated to the
shore, and the hunter used it as a raft to
paddle across to the moose. There he
found the buttct, after killing the moose,
had gone into a hollow tree in which was a
store of wild honey, which was flowing
through the hole made by the bullet
Beaching for- what he thought was a stick
to plug up the hole, he caught a rabbit by
the leg. Bather startled, he threw it
violently from him, and struck a covey oi

A few days ago Judge Handley, of Lu
zerne county, rendered a decision which
will be of general interest if it stands. It
seems that Fred. House, a minor, enlisted
and went to the war during the late rebel
lion. I lis local bounty amounted to $300,
and of this sum he sent home $245. Upon
the return ot the young man his father re
fused to give him the sum, on the ground
that, as he was a minor, he had no right to
it. 1 he Court ruled that bounty was not
wages, but a gratuity, and as such the
father had no control over it. It also ruled
that where a minor makes a contract for
nis services on nis own account, and ins
father is cognizant of the fact, and makes
no objection, there is an implied assent
that the son shall have his earnings, and
unless there is a design to deiraud the
father's creditors, the earnings will belong
to the son.
