John Young.—Typographical errors serve several

If it runs 25 days there is a saving of 125 days'w ork, which at $1 25 per day. is over $150. There is a little expense for wire. Go and see it work, and buy one next year-

W h a t is life? L ife is b lit a p repara­tory place for th e life beyond the grave ; hut a place to stay before we e n te r our final dw elling . Oh, beau ti­ful ea rth ! rich in the fragrance of love and m ercy, rich in love w ith friends around us, aud tlje god th a t dw ells in th a t final dw elling of peace; ever ready to eim hine our pa th w ith huppi ness an d love, If we would only look up to h im us th e m onarch of all we su rvey . L e t us as We w en<1 our way th ro u g h th is life, strew flowers.of love, an d 'p eace for o thers to fttha le as they slow ly follow our footsteps to the grave. Oh th e beautiful flowers of life ; the beautifu l rosebuds of h ope ; we stand now on h igh van tage g round , and gaze a round on th e smiling; face <>l n a tu re , we form plans for th e fu tu re w hich now looks to us all su n sh in e and peace. Shall we unfold th a t hud, to find only in th e cen te r of its beau ti­ful folds a th o rn , instead of the beauty we had hoped to set* w hen the cen ter should he revealed to th e w o rld ? W e shou ld he careful in th e selection of roots we in tend to tran sfe r to the g round of fame. Do we really com ­prehend the p leasures w e en jo y ? jit.-t s to p —a n d th in k w hat w ir life would he had we no o v erh an g in g trees to shade ou r p a th , no beautifu l flowers to decorate ou r hom es, then indeed we would look on n a tu re am i say there is no beau ty there . A nd Venlly then* are som e who say, w here is the beauty in n a tu re or life? I tell you life is w liat you m ake it. W e can liw* a very happy life, or we can live a m o t m iserab le one. W e shou ld form plan* to • xeeutc w ith will. W e have heard of those w ho say “ I c a n 't ! I can ’t ! it is im possible lor m e to learn a n y ­th in g ! ” Do they ever am ount to a n y th in g ? but instead of a constan t I c a n 't, let it he the ivver-o; f call, and 1 w ill. D on’t under.-tam l me to m ean th a t I can and I will ru in some ones hopes and p lans, far from it. 1 m ean form a h igh aud noble plan and then w ith study , and a noble purpose in view, you will su re ly gajn th e topm ost round of fam e. F am e was never ga ined in one <l:iv; it takes years of s tu d y to form an d cu ltiva te a person’s m in d . T he greatest o ra to rs of to d a y , stud ied years t > a tta in fTn^fcnowledge w hich they now reveal to th e world, w ith a w onderful power of elocution. Do you suppose that they , as they lay d ream in g of fam e add fortune, m u t­tered ill tones alm ost inaudib le , I c a n ’t! I c a n ’t ! it is im possible for me to learn a n y th in g ! no they did n o t; but instead of say ing th a t, th ey said I can and I w ill com pter, though it takes me years to accom plish m y pm ’no.-e.

T h ere is good ev idence to believe th a t th e people are last becom ing aw are of th e in tim a te re la tion .subsist­ing betw een.education mid the s tab ili­ty and prosperity of the S ta te . W hat has long been clear to tin* m inds of

jo u r best educators will soon becom e a popu lar tru ism , v iz : T h a t as you

] e levate the s tan d a rd of r ig h t cu ltu re ! in a com m onw ealth , you d im in ish its

perils, increase its p roductive power, m u ltip ly its sources of w ealth , and th u s in su re its h ig h est p rosperity . It is safe to assum e th a t S ta tes have a righ t to exist. Is it no t a leg itim ate in ference from th is assum ption tha t th ey have, therefore, th e r ig h t to protect them selves aga in st th e dangers w hich im peril th e ir ex is ten ce? R e­specting th is la tte r righ t there cannot be tw o conflicting opin ions. 'J'he rig id m ust be conceded, and the m ore v ig ­ila n tly it :• exercised th e safer the com m on w ealth . T h a t ignorance is a peril, and the greatest, perhaps, to w h ich republican in s titu tio n s are e x ­posed, w e b a v e been tau g h t it) several instances. N ay , every day gives us in tim ations, if we w ill but note them , th a t th is b lind force is tn e m ost active and powerful of an y w hich sm ite th e co lum ns of o u r free gov ern m en t. Ig ­norance is not on ly destruc tive in itself, of in s titu tio n s like ou r ow n, b u t

> y t is doubly dangerous on account of th e allies it d raw s to its support.. I t lias close a fiu ity w ith a large fam ily of vices, and hence we find I hat, as a rule, the denser the igno rance of a co m m u n ity , the low er its m oral tone and cond ition . R ig h t cu ltu re raises our n a tu re above m an y of th e tem pta- tios w hich have pow er over th e uned u ­cated. Besides, on the h ig h er p lane to w hich it e levates us, nobler a p ­petites and desires are aw akened to supersede those w hich had sw ay on the low er level of existence. A m ind thus raised not on ly feels th e force of nobler desires, h u t it n a tu ra lly acts from h ig h er m otives and to m ore w orthv ends.

N one of th e m oral m ovem en ts of pur tim e will ach ieve com plete success u n til supported by educationa l m eas­ures w hich , w hile they aw aken h ig h er tastes and desires, w ill a t th e sam e tim e prov ide for th e ir g ratifica tion . Indeed, such m easures m u st every ­w here precede and accom pany m oral m ovem ents, and help lift degraded natu res ou t of th e old spheres of tem pta tion in to b e tte r cond itions, w here new desires w ill be developed, and new sources of en jo y m en t opened to the m ind . T he m ind is l ik e a grape v in e ; its hom e is n o t on the ground hut up in the air. H ive th e v in e a t ret* or a t rel I is, some I hi ng upon w hich its tend rils rrfay fasten , and by these, as one by one they a re sen t fo rth , it raises itse lf c o n tin u a lly . A n d as it rises it d raw s be tte r n o u rish m en t from the free a ir, and produces larger and sw eeter clu.-ters of g rapes. I t would grow upon the fiat ea rth , an d show great lu x u rian ce of stem an d leaf, no doubt. R ut w ith n o th in g to raise it lrum the g round , no am o u n t of ra in , sunsh ine , o r d ig g in g about its roots, would m ake its fru itage a b u n d a n t or palatable. T he desired ab u n d an ce and qua lity of fru itage is cond itioned upon causes w hich hold the v ine above tlie earth and weeds. I t is th u s w ith ou r nature . M ade to grow upw ard con tinua lly , it needs th e trellis-w ork of educational m easures th a t around it may th row its a sp irin g tendrils , an d , by th e ir support, la* able to overcom e the force w hich d raw s dow nw ard . M any, in some of th e best eon im un i-j ties, whom our public schools lifted for a season above the w ays and in-j llueiices of degraded life, have soon j descended to those w ays, s im p ly be­cause no h ig h er educational agencies had been provided. T hey left school before they had learned to sw im on the social cu rren t, a n d fin d in g n o th in g ' w ith in th e ir reach to keep them afloat, they n a tu ra lly san k hack to the i m ud mil of w hich they had been tem porarily raised. N o one needs to la* told tha t both im m o ra lity and ig­norance are perilous to free in s titu ­tions. Is it not equally a p p a ren t th a t a certain class of m ost dangerous vices have (heir best breeding-places w here! ignorance is d e n ses t? F ro m th e stand po in t of these facts, how im -j porta n t siwmld seem tlioge educational i in stru m en ta litie s designed t > banish j ignorance! S urely , a S tate has no la t te r safeguards th a n these. T hen let them lie fostered w ith all th e c a re ' which love o f co u n try can exercise. !

R ight cu ltu re does m ore th an banish i ignorance, am i w eaken the pow er of! im m ora lity . It increases the p rod ttr-j live lofce of a co m m u n ity . H an d s that toil a re hut se rv an ts of the brain ; and the am ount they do is g radua ted I to the b ra in ’s ab ility to direct. A n ig­norant brain m ay prove to th e hands a hard task-m aster, hut seldom an efiiricn l one. He w ho inis m ost brain ab ility will w ork h is h ands to th e j greatest profit. >So th a t co m m u n ity w hich has reached th e h ighest point of righ t m ental deve lopm en t w ill e x -1 hihit signs of superio r en te rp rise and! tln ii't. As it possesses th e greatest degree of brain-force w hy should it not show the m ost prolific harvests of! social good

F u rth e r , w hile education develops! m ental power, it at the sam e tim e m ultip lies the sot trees of w ealth . It does th is because of tin* clearer sigh t it gives. It enables tlie m ind to d is­cern values in tilin g s w hich are h id ­den to the ignoran t. Resides, by its inven tive faculties it devises m eans w hereby old sources of w ealth , as well i i s ils new ly discovered sources, are m ost cflieiciilly w orked. O ne has wisely said : “ We s ic in th in g s w hat we bring the m eans of see ing .” To tin* ignorant., the l ig h tn in g was only a terro r—wild and u n ta m a b le ; h u t to Morse’s keener v ision, it lim ned an "angel of lig h t,” g iv in g prom ise of noble service to m an ! Ignorance still ploughs, w ith ils sharpened stick , a tew rods per day ; hut science builds its engine, genera tes its s team , and does m ore work in an hour th an the old logic can do in a week !

A Sand-blast—The remark of the man who gets it in his eyes.

D etroit, July 23.Yesterday m orning F ather Bleyeu-

bergh, pastor of the Rouiau Catholic ChurcU of the Holy Trinity, of this city, started out to give his altar boys their regular excurslou. they weut ou board the steam yacht Mamie, and were takeu to Mouroe, Mich. Ou their returu, while contiug up the Detroit River, s t about ten o'clock last night, at a point just below Grassy Island Lighthouse; the yacht was m et by ilia steamer Garland, of Detroit, having ol board the Mulders’ Union aud a large party of friends, aud a collision took place, the Garlaud literally ruini ng the steam yacht down and almost running over her.

There were twenty-four persons ou board the Msiuie. Of these but eight were saved, the others going down in the deep, swift water, with no hope of finding the bodies yet for days.

The Captain of the Garland, George Horn, was near the wheel-house witli the wheels­man at the time, and, on being interviewed by an E vening M e m reporter to-day, refused to talk.

The wheelsman, H. W. Buff, says he saw a light, which he took to be an anchor-light, aud no red or green lights. When about fifty feet from the light lie heard a whistle from the Mantle, answered it, aud backed the engines. He called to Captain Horn to help ou tbe wheel. He thinks the Maude must have tried to cross his bow. Boats were low­ered Immediately and life-preservers thrown overboard. There was a great lack of nerve aud system in the matter of rescuing, so lar as the officers qf the Garlaud were concerned.

An officer Of tbe Garland, or one appearing to be in authority, cursed those wno were throwing over life-preservers, aud made them stop it, but a negro employe of tbe boat seemed to have more nerve than any one else belonging to the boat, and set the work of putting over life-preservers agoing again.

Jam es Murtagh, an attache of tbe E v e n in g AVwi*, and a level-headed, courageous youug man, says he was on the Garland, sitting at the bow, when the accident occurred. He says the Garland was running straight down the river on her course. The boats would have passed, but the yacht suddenly, when but a few feet from the Garland, put iter wheel over and shot across the bow of the Garland, was struck, and went down. There was but a moment to act, as tlie awful trag­edy was over in a moment of time, almost. There were several instances of individual heroism of those, on board of the Gar.aud, conspicuous among them being that of John Quirk, a young moldcr, who dove from the boat and picked up two drowning boys. The accident is the first of the kind here in mauy years, aud thrills the city with horror.

Of those on board the Mamie the following were drowned: Mrs. Fred. Martin, wife of engineer; Miss Mary Hahn, domestic of the parochial school, Trinity Church; Miss Lizzie Murphy, housekeeper for Father Bleyenbergh; Thomas Kelly, sexton of the church; Jim Kelly, organ-blower; Andrew Doran, a boy who was invited to accompany the excursion; Thomas McLogan, another bov, missing, doubtless lost; Frank Solan, John Ilowe,David Barry, John Donovan, Willie Cuddy, David Cuddy, John Cosgrove, Jam es Tootney, Joseph Monaghan, altar hoys—ranging from eleven to fourteen years of age.

Captain Hoffman, Engineer Martin, Father Bleyenbergh, Miss Lizzie Dusseau, of Monroe, and four others, were saved.

In an interview Father Bleyenbergh states that just prior to the collision m ost o f the boys were in the cabin. He was sitting with the older members of the party, aud they noticed the steamer coming down the river. The Garland and the Fortune (another steamer) seemed to him not very far apart, and coming very rapidly. “ 1 do not know,” he said, “ Vbardly dare assert it, and yet it seemed to me”—and the father made a sig­nificant pause, as though he thought they were racing. He went on to say that he aid not dream of the collision, in fact had just said to Miss Dusseau, who was sitting beside him, that it was a picturesque and exhilerat- ing sight to see the steam er plow through the water on such a bright moon­light night, when he saw the Garland sudden­ly loom up larger, and instantly divined with horror that a collision was imminent. The Mamie whistled, and soon after the Garland replied, but bore down directly on the fragile yacht, crushing it as if it had been an egg­shell, fairly cutting It In two amidship. At the moment he had divined a collision wus unavoidable he had shouted to his friends and children, “ Come to the front!” “ C om etoth e front!” Some of them did so. Miss Dusseau followed him, and at the same time he fe lttlie boat give way beneath him, and caught hold of a rope on the Garland. The young lady did the same. Homebody on board the steamer pulled her aboard, and he climbed the rope he had hold of unaided. The four boys who were saved crawled out of the cabin windows and threw themselves into the water. They were picked up by the life-boat of tbe Gar­land, which was immediately lowered, but some who might have been sawed were, he fears, drowned by the swell or run down by the Fortune, which plowed along very soon after. This was not the fault of the Fortune, as they seemed to suppose that the Garland people, who hailed them in alarm and anxiety, were cheering them. The father did not know how the accident could have occurred at all, as it was such brilliant m oonlight that the sm allest object could be discerned at a great distance.

l ’ersons on the Garland claim that the right-of-way belonged to her, as site was goiug down stream and was a larsrer boat. The Mamie, they say, went straight toward the Garland, signaling that she would pass to the left by a blast of the whistle, to which the Gar­land responded. Neither apparently changed its course until the Mamie was alm ost under the bow of the Garland, when the pilot of the Mamie threw his wheel over, and she swung herself across the stream and pre­sented a broadside to the Garland. In this position the latter struck her squarely just aft the pilot-house, crushing in her side and submerging her whole forward part. Be­fore they struck the Garland stopped her engine, but did not reverse. 8he was appar­ently going at nearly her full rate of speed at the m om ent of the collision. When the two vessels struck they c lung together for a mo­ment or two, and the pilot of the Mam’e and one or two of the passengers clambered on board the Garland with assistance. The Gar­land then began to back, and the two vessels separated. The Mamie drifted down the stream, her forward part submerged or en­tirely carried away, but her stern out of wa­ter. She sank entirely out of sight in about ten minutes.

In addition to the names of the lost already sent, it is ascertained another boy named John Grensel was also drowned.

A New York difipatoh of the 21st (fives the folloyring account of the te rr i­ble accident at the Hudson River Tunnel:

At five o'clock this morning the caisson leading to the entrance of the Hudson River Tunueg constructing at Sixteenth street,* Jeraey City, cavAl In, carrying with it an Im­mense quantity of earth. Twenty-two oieu lost their lives, while eight had alm ost a miraculous escape. The night gang of thirty men, Including Assistaut-Superintendout Woodland and two firemen, entered the shaft at midnight, the hour for work for this gang being from twelve to eight o’clock. The depth of the shaft is sixty-five feet, and, while most of the men were employed at the bottom of the shaft, about a third of the gang was engaged on the brick wall of an arch twenty- five rcet higher. It was the latter squad, all bricklayers, that escaped, except two. The mam arch of the tunnel runs out from the shaft a distance of about thirty feet, when it opens Into two distinct arches that are to form the tunnel. Through some negligence of the workmen, it Is supposed, the air-lock was not properly adjusted,and when the proc­ess of shifting commenced, the brick wall connecting the two arches gave way aud water rushed into the cave.

The following is a list of the casualties: Peter Woodland, Assistant Superintendent; Frank Aleston, foreman; Thomas Burns, foreman; A. Elckson, Feter Feisher, Patrick Kitniu, Charles Neilson, William F. Bagley, Andrew Jacobsen, Bryan Sheridan, Charles 8veusson, O. Anderson, Frank Bark, of Ho­boken; Mat McCarty, Patrick Broderick, Otto Besseilen, John Jensen, Patrick Collins and Mike Broderick.

The following is a complete list of the saved: Thomas Brady, B. McGovern, A. J. Moline, Thomas Cummings, Christ. Hansen, J. Vauuostraud, John Doyle aud Jamea Hayes.

In addition to these, three men whose names are not known are missing, and the officials say they must have perished. All whose names are given belonged to Jersey CitY except Bark. He resided in Hoboken.

The Superintendent thinks the air in the tunnel must have escaped through the silt.

Thomas Van Nostrand, one of the rescued men, sayB: “ The main shaft le sixty feet deep, and from the bottom of this shaft the entrance to the tunnel is effected through a cylindrical barrel six feet in diameter and fourteen feet in length. This is called an air lock, and serves to preserve the density ol the atmosphere of the tunnel, which, in turn, is secured by the forcing of air through pipes f'om pumps. There is a door in each end of the air-lock. They both open inward. At each side of the doors are round windows of thick glass, through which, from the outside of the air-locki, a v.ew can be gained of the work and workmen lusidc the tunnel. There were twenty-eight men at work in the tunnel. They went in at twelve o’clock last night for the eight-hour shift. I was at work near the east end of the lock, and In the west end of the tunnel. It was at about 4:30 o'clock that I heard the bolts snap, and the braces give way. At the same time 1 felt a rush of air iu my face. I started back with seven of the men who were near me aad ran into the lock. The air pressure crowded the door shut at the east end. At first it was blocked by a joist which we [lulled out, and then the door slammed to. Through the dead-eyes we could see the men inside the tunnel. The water was fast rush­ing in. Feter Woodland, Assistant Superin­tendent, stood at the door outside the lock, which was stationary. It would not move with us without kuoeking out the dead-ayes. This would he fatal to the men outside, as the water would rush in and drown the men in au instant. Woodland knew this, but stood at the door. His face was ghastly white, and he realized the horrible danger. He said to me: ‘ Tom, quick, bust the dead-eyes, and do what you can for us.’ I knew it was death to us all if I did not, so I obeyed the order. As the glass broke the air rushed in, and the lock shot out in the main shaft, leav­ing the men to drown, as the space occupied by the shaft filled with water in an Instant. We were wholly stripped of our clothes when we crawled out. 1 heard the rush of water at our back. It filled fast, but the ob­structions kept it back long enough for us to escape from the main shaft. It was all we could do to save ourselves. Woodland waa standing in water up to his waist when I saw him. It was sure death, and I had to knock out ttie dead eyes, as I told you. He knew as well as I that it was all over with them. I shall never forget the look on his face or the sound of his voice as lie told us to save our­selves, though the very act was to insure his death.”

Another of the escaped workmen says; “After eight men had escaped, one man, lu trying to pass througli the door leading from the air-lock into the temporary cltauiher of the tunnel, was jammed iu the doorway, and, despite the efforts of those ahead, could not be brought out, as the door dosed upon him and held him fast. Pater Woodland, A s­sistant Superintendent, told the men to try and get out, and, when the ninth man was fastened In the doorway, called out to those who had escaped, telling them to hurry and try and get assistance to help the rest and himself who were left behind. He refused to leave himself, saying lie would stay and make every effort to get the rest out, and, if it were not possible, then those escaping must try to get the rest and himself out alive.”

The officers of the company, In explaining the accident, say the workmen, in coining through the air-lock, must have exercised unusual carelessness, and, boili doors of the air-lock being opened at the same time, the compressed air was allowed to escape. The compressed air serves a double purpose, namely, to keep the water out and to support the roof of the tunnel. So, when it escaped, the catastrophe was inevitable.

The engineers and officials say that it Is impossible for any of the imprisoned work­men to be alive, as the water within the whole length of the tunnel is up to the roof, and even above it. The laborers who are making the excavation west of the shaft will, however, not cease their labors to get at where the bodies are supposed to be but it is impossible to force any air into the tunnel, as all which has been forced in so far has es­caped through the shaft, In which it has made the water leap up two or three feet above the surface.

It is feared this afternoon that only seven men instead of eight men have been saved, as one, named Thomas Cummings, who was reported by one of the workingmen to have •scaped, is now said to be missing.

Anecdotes About Dressing for Dinner.In foreign cities, if a traveler is in­

vited to d inner and has not the proper costum e with him in which to a ttend a dinner, he writes to his host excusing him self on th a t score. If he receives another note, saying: *• Wo will gladly receive you e» costume de voyageur/ ’ the gentlem an or lady can go; but w ithout this explanation the presence of a person not properly dressed for a dinner would be considered an insult. 1

A few years ago some youug English­men of lifgh rauk arrived a t N ahant in very careless costum e, sen t their cards and letters of introduction to Mr. Long­fellow, and were im m ediately invited to a seven o’clock tw iner. They accept­ed, and came iS r th e shooting coats, w ith telescopes hanging around their necks.

Mr. Longfellow had invited some dis­tinguished Boston people to m eet them , all of whom were in proper evening dress, of course. The young men en­deavored “ to bluff it off,” us tho poet carefully scanned their appearance, by saying, “ We’re here for shooting, you know ,” etc., etc.

“ And do you shoot with your tele- 5 scopes?” rem arked Mr. Longfellow.

If they had w ritten to Mr. Longfel­low before d inner and had explained their not having their luggage with them, and had left their telescopes a t home, no one would have thought it rude. I t was the assum ption tha t they could do such a th ing with im punity in Am erica that was rude.

Au American lady of fashion was traveling in Europe and happened to arrive in Florence without her luggage. H er friend, the M inister, asked her to d inner to m eet a g rea t lady of the court.

“ But 1 have no dresses,” said the lady; “ one plain black silk is all I can dossibly achieve.”

“ Oh!” said he, “ that is all right; I will explain to those ladies whom you are to m eet.”

W hen the lady w ent to the dinner, which was very elegant, all the men were in dress coats, orders, ribbons,*^ white ties and the paraphernalia of masculine full dress. She was aston­ished to see all the ladies as plainly dressed as herself. The M inister hav­ing explained iter dilem m a to them they were all plainly dressed, too? They were women who generally wore at dinners jewels of fabulous value, and always considered it d erigueu r to wear neck and arms bare and to cover them ­selves with lace.

But it was both real and conventional etiquette for them to thus m eet the American lady who had not her toil­ets with her. A lthough she reg re tted not seeing their splendid dresses, she could not but be touched by this act. They knew that she was a person of consideration at home, and they trea ted her to the best and kindest in their power by dressing so plainly th a t she did not feel her black silk to be a blot* on the dinner.—Am erican Queen.

Fluffs, Crimping-Pins and Unexpected Callers.

K e e l y . tho motor man, of Philadel­phia, invented among other things a vaporic lift, intended for raising heavy weights. The feat is accomplished by means of a belt strapped around the waist to which are attached num erous small wires. Two of these wires are connected with a small instrum ent re ­sembling a watch case, which contains wheels and springs. W hile Mr. Keely was practicing with the lift recently ho burst a blood-vessel, causing a severe hemorrhage. He was found in his workshop in an insensible condition with blood flowing from his mouth. He was ill for several days, bat his condi* tion is now improving.

“ How do you get j our hair into such a lovely Huff*?” inquired a brunette of a blonde.

“ W hy, I roll it up into curls, and then just run a coarse comb through it. But yours is lovely, too, I’m sure. How do you do yours?”

“ Roll it on a heated slate-pencil.” “ Oh, but th a t hurts the hair so. I

put mine into crim ping-pins,” said another.

And still another: “ I braid mine and press it.”

And still another: “ Common hair­pins, I think, are the best of all. But then one looks so like a fury in any pins.”

Then the brunette gave a gigg 'e.“ Oh, girls, l pu t m y hair into pins

“ Oh, girls! it was Will Hess with Langford—Langford just home from Paris, you know!”

“ W hat did you do?” from the chorus of four.

“ Oh, I d idn 't die, and I couldn’t run away; for there they were righ t before me; so I made the best of it, and laughed, for it was funny, and then 1 snatched our George’s Scotch cap from the table where he had flung it that m orning, and covered my steel horns and my ugliness in a tw inkling.”

CAUGHT IN A QUICKSAND.

It is now quite a num ber of years since two old hunters, Buck Stradlino- and Tom Snuffle, were hun ting with me in the w estern part of Texas, ju st south of the famous El Cano Estacado. VVe had gone into the in terior more for spo rt than anything else, caring very little w hether we secured more" gam e

^ Jh a n answ ered for our im m ediate wants • or not.

Penetra ting still fu rther and fu rther tow ard the M exican dominion, we final­ly struck a barren, parched country, upon which we en tered with some hesi­tation.

“ This looks as though we shan’t find any w ater.” I rem arked, as wo reined np our horses and took a survey of the arid plain.

“ Does look ra th e r skeery ,” replied Stradling, taking his short, black pipe from his m outh, “ but I guess we’ll try it. I t ’ll m ake a so rt of variety to this eternal tram ping .”

“ But what will we do w ithout w ater?” I asked.

“ W hv, you see, there is w ater four o r five miles back of us; so we can go ahead for a day, and, if we can’t find anything, why, we can tu rn round and

•m ake back tracks. I t ’ll go ra ther tough, but it won’t hurt us. My idea ,” continued the trapper, grow ing philo­sophical, “ is, th a t we never know w hat w ater is till we’ve gone two or three days w ithout it, ju st as the only way to g e t a good, sound, refreshing sleep is to sit up fpr a couple of nights. ’

So it was concluded th a t wo should venture upon this unknown Sahara; and, g iv ing rein to our horses, we struck off upon an easy gallop.

W e saw nothing of buffalo or deer, and more than once I questioned the prudence of the step, but, as we were actuated som ew hat by curiosity, I said nothing, and we pressed forward.

We had an abundance of dried m eat, which, no doubt, would last us all the tim e necessary. Now and then we caught sight of an antelope, bu t they w ere vfery shy, and kept a t a distance which placed them beyond all danger of our guns.

As we were riding along, and had come to the conclusion th a t it would be impossible to secure any gam e, I was sure I discerned a pair of an tlers beyond a swell in the prairie, and declared as much to my companions, but they only laughed a t me, and told me to give up the foolish thought. I was certain , how­ever, th a t I had really seen the anim al, and, as there was a chance to secure som ething palatable fo r supper, I as­sured them th a t I would do so. T hey to ld me to go ahead, while they reined th e ir anim als down to a walk and p u r­sued th e ir way more leisurely.

I may here rem ark th a t hunters often separate for an entire day, first agreeing upon tfte guides by which they shall m eet again, and I had no hesitation in doing the same. My horse was fresh, and snuffed the $ur as though anxious to stre tch his limb*; so, w ithout useless hesitation, I waVed them a playful good- by, and s ta rted away.

I aimed directly tow ard the spot where I had discovered the object; I judged it to be a half-mile distant, bu t when I reached the place it proved to be double th a t distance, an illusion which often misleads hun ters and tra v ­elers.

A singularly-form ed ridge crossed the plain from east to west. A th icket of cactus grew upon its snmipit, and tow ard the th icket I directed m y course. I dism ounted before ascending the hill,! and cautiously leading my horse among the cactus bushes, I tied him to one of the limbs. 1 tied him with slight se­curity, for the noble beast did not need anyth ing more.

Should I tie my red hand­kerchief upon my ram rod and take ad­vantage o f their curiosity? They were too shy. -e

Ah! an idea struek me. My eyo sud­denly rested upon a bluish line running across the prairie, beyond where the anim als were feeding. I t was e ither a buffalo road or the channel of an arroyo; but, w hichever it was, it was the very cover I w anted, ami I deter mined to take im m ediate of it.

R etreating as stealthily from the th icket as I had en tered it, I hurried along the side of the slope tow ard a point where I had observed tha t the ridge was depressed to the level of the plain. R eaching this, to my still g rea te r surprise I found myself on the banks of a broad arroyo, whose w ater slowly m eandered over a bed of sand and gypsum. The banks were two or th ree feet above the surface of the stream ex ­cept w here the ridge came down upon the stream . Here there was quite a high bluff, and, hurrying around its base, I stepped in to the channel and com­m enced w ading upward.

This was quite a difficult feat, as the bed of the oreek was soft and yielding, and I was obliged to tread very cau­tiously and slowly, lest I should alarm the game. The antolopo is one of the m ost tim id of animals, and has a wonderfully acute sense of hearing—so much so, th a t none but the m ost experienced hunters can approach him.

A fter creeping along in th is w eari­some m anner for several hundred yards, I reached a small clump of worm ­wood bushes grow ing out of the bank.T hinking this m ight Ee high enough to answer for cover, I concluded to take advantage of it. I slowly raised myself up and peered through the leaves. I had ju st the righ t place, and, sighting at the h ea rt of the buck, I pulled the trigger. The bru te sprang up and dropped dead. I was on the point of running forw ard to claim the prize, when I saw the doe run up to its fallen m ate and snuff a t it as if bewildered at the occurrence. Suddenly she seem ed to com prehend the sad tru th , and throw ing back her head, began u ttering the m ost plaintive and piteous cries, while she occasionally ran round the body, as if totally unable to control her grief.

At first it was not my in ten tion to kill the doe, and, had I dream ed of w it­nessing such a painful scone, I should not have done so. How often do we hunters, in the excitem ent of the chase, comm it deeds which, in our calm er mo­ments, we can see as heartless and cruel! B ut the deed was done past re­call, and wherefore regret?

As I w atched the m ournful actions of the doe, and heard its piteous cries, I saw th a t it would be a mercy to kill it and end its misery. Aotuated by what,

ferhaps, was a questionable hum anity, took a careful aim , pulled the trigger,

and, as the smoke cleared away, I dis­covered the doe lying dead with its head resting upon its departed mate.

“ Both are out of d istress,” was my com forting reflection, “ aud I have se­cured a i^re supper, w ith which I will tickle the palates of my two friends, and convince them th a t they are not the only ones who have a knowledge of hun ting—but w hat is the m eaning of th is?”

I a ttem pted to move, and found both feet fast. My first thought was tha t I had been stricken with paralysis, and a chill ran over me from head to foot. But no; I could feel the blood coursing to the rem otest p a rt of my system , and I tugged like a giant. I tried to step, tw isted to the r ig h t and left, w renched my body, bu t all in va in --I was fast.

Suddenly the tru th flashed upon me —I was sinking in a quicksand.

W ith this knowledge came a fierce resolve not to succumb. I would wrench off my fee t before I would consent to die in this inglorious aud dreadful m an­ner. Sum moning all the streng th of which I was m aster, I tugged and pulled and tw isted with the fury of m ad­ness, and thon paused exhausted, and found th a t the only resu lt was tha t I had sunk several inches deeper in the quicksand. The soft, clinging sand was already a t the top of my boots, and had so wedged them around my ankles tha t it was impossible to pull them off. All the tim e I could feel myself sinking slowly an d purely, as though some mon­ster, deep in, the bowels of the earth , had grasped me by the foot and was gradually draw ing me under.

Alm ost beside myself w ith terro r, I shouted for help, and then I laughed wildly a t the idea of my voice reaching any one. I was miles away from any

(jerson. The only living oreat ure w ithin tearing was my horse, and he answered

me with a neigh, as if sym pathizing with me in my despair.

•And now I tried to th ink coolly upon my position. W as there really no possi­ble way of ex tricating myself? Stay! Suppose I should lay my rifle horizon­tally across the sand would it no t prevent my sinking? Perhaps so; a t least I could try it.

I looked around for my gun, bu t noth­ing of it was to be seen. That, too, alas! had sunk beneath the surface. Could 1 dig my way out? No; the sand stream ed into the hollow as often as I tore it with my frenzied fingers.

Could I not lie fiat on my back, and thus stay my dow nw ard progress? The thought was dismissed the m om ent it came to me. The w ater was eighteen inches deep, and I should drown at once. Oh, hoavens! dying by this slow,

compassed by

to rtu ring prooess. The though t drove me m ad for the time.

A lter a while I became cool again. I I I m ust die, I m ust; and l aroused myself to m eet it manfully. I stood erect, and found tha t my head had sunk to the prairie level, and I could just see the victim s of my heartlessuess. My heart reproached me at the sight. W as not th is a just retribution for the misery 1 had inflicted? W hat r ig h t had I to shoot those poor, innocent creatures who had never harm ed me? Was it not the final adjustm ent of justice that 1 should be made to feel and suffer the same pangs th a t I had inflicted upon them ?

Such, and similar, were the thoughts th a t coursed through my seething brain. I raised my eyes to Heaven, and alm ost expected to see a frown of divine auger for the p a rt I had taken. But no; the sun was shining as bright and the skv was as cerulean and mild as ever. No; w hatevor transgressions I had com m itted, I knew there was nothing but forgiveness and love bend­ing over me, and l prayed as onlv sin­ful man can pray when enc certain death.

But all this tim e I was sinking—sink­ing slowly but surely, and the m oment could not bo d istan t when 1 should be swallowed up and disappear from view entirely, an a those who should come to search for me could only surmise my fate. , , .

I had taken my last fond look upon the green, fair earth. I could only see the E lue, clayey wall which held the stream , and th e w ater which ran u n ­heeding by me. Again I looked up at the blue sw eet sky, and then endeavored to resign myself to my fate. But I could not; the memories of the fair earth and my past pleasures aud friends came so vividly over me th a t I found myself con­tinually bursting into struggling spasms to escape, bu t all equally fruitless as were the first feeble a ttem pts to walk.

In the m idst of this racking suspense I was startled by the shrill neighing of my horse. A t first this gave me in­describable distress, as I could not avoid contrasting his free situation with my own. But suddenly a b righ t thought flashed over me. Could not my horse rescue mo?

He was tied to a frail cactus limb, which he could easily break, if he chose. W ithout losing tim e—for tim e was never so precious—I u ttered a call which I had often used to bring him to m e; then listened w ith an anxiety which it is useless for mo to attem pt to depict. Suddenly I heard the sound of his hoofs, as though he were strug ­gling to free himself, and the next m o­m en t I recognized his well-known tram p, and knew th a t he was ap ­proaching. T hen he suddenly ap ­peared on the bank, and, looking down a t me, u tterod a joyful neigh of recog­nition.

Peculfar a ttachm ent e f i m betw een the hun ter and his horse, and it was a habit of his, w henever I called him, to gallop up to me and press his nose against niy cheek. Reaching out my hands tow ard him, in my usual caress­ing m anner, I repeated the call. The next m om ent he bounded down in to the channel, and I caught him by th e bridle. T im e was becoming fearfully precious. I was already down to my w aist in the w ater. 1 seized the la r ' a t> and, pressing it under the saddle- g irths, secured it in a firm knot. I th en m ade a loop and passed it around my body.

Heaven bless the noble horse! The tears well to my eyes when I reflect upon the g rand creature to whom a tew years ago i gave an honorable grave in tho broad prairie. All the tim e I be­lieve he com prehended my sore s tra it, and understood perfectly w hat was re­quired of him. He knew, too, ttio treacherous nature of the ground upon which he stobd, for while w aiting he continued lilting his feet and slightly changing his position to prevent his sinking. Finally, I had my arrange-

I gave the word The intelligent

m ents completed, and to the horse to move, anim al stepped off very slowly, pulling gradually, but with all his trem endous strength . To my inexpressible ioy, I felt my body raising, and in less than a m inute I was pulled clean out of the sand, upon tho hard, clayey bank. Thank heaven! and my true, tried, noble horse!

I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him, and shouted for joy. And had I not a righ t to do so? And did I do more than my duty w hen I refused all offers to part w ith him, and kept him with all the care and kindness th a t I would have nursed a feeble pa­ren t?

T h e r e is another difference in the woof of a W averly novel from the cob­web of a m odern one, which depends on Scott’s larger view of hum an life. M arriage is by no means, in his con­ception of m an and woman, the m ost im portant business of th e ir existence; nor love the only rew ard to be p ro­posed to their virtue or exertion. I t is not, in his reading of the laws of Providence, a necessity th a t v irtue should, e ither by love or any o ther ex­ternal blessing, be rew arded a t all; and m arriage is in all cases thought of as a constituent of the happiness of life, but not as its only Interest, still less its only aim. And upon analyzing with some care the m otives of his p rin­cipal stories, we shall often find tha t tho love in them is m erely a ligh t by which the sterner features of charac­te r are to be irradiated , and th a t the m arriage of the hero is as subordinate to the main bent of the story as H enryV .’s courtship of K atherine is to the battle of A gineourt.—John Ruskin, in Nineteenth Century.

Mark Twain’s Reflections oa the Ger­man Language.

I have heard of an Amerioan stu­dent who was asked how ho was g e t­ting along with his German, and who answered prom ptly : “ I am not ge t­ting along a t all. I have worked a t it hard for th ree level mouths, and all I have got to show for it is one solitary German phrase— ‘Zwei glas’ ” (two glasses of beer.) H e paused a mo­ment, reflectively, then added with feeling, “ But I ’ve got that solid!”

My philological studies have satis­fied me that a gifted person ought to

th irty tfays, aud German in th irty

On the way to Heilbronn there were some nice German people in our compartm ent. I got to talking some pretty

Eirivate m atters presently, and H atris lecame nervous; so he nudged me, and

said:“ Speak in G erm an—these G erm ans

may understand E nglish .”I did so, and it was well I did; for it

turned out th a t there was not a G erm an in tha t party who did not understand English perfectly. I t is curious how w idespread our language is in Ger­many. A lter a while some of those folks got out, and a German gentlem an and his two young daughters go t in. I spoke in German to one of the la tte r several times, bu t w ithout result. Finally she said:

“ ’Ich verstehe nur Deutch und En- glische,” or words to tha£ effect. T hat is, “ I don’t understand any language but Germ an and English .” I can u n ­derstand Germ an as well as the m aniac who invented it, bu t I talk, it best th rough an in te rp re te r.—The Tramp Ahroael.

Got to Stand I t .

On one of the ho ttest corners of W oodward avenue, a t high noon yester­day, a small boy with a boot-black’s kit sat under the full blaze of a sun pour­ing down for all it was worth. The boy perspired, roasted, blistered and al­most m elted, but he had stuck th ere fo r half an hour, when a lady passing by halted and said:

“ L ittle bov, aren’t you afraid of being sun-struck ?”

“ Yes, ma’am ,” was the prom pt re- ply.

“ Then why don’t you get into the shade?” ,

“ I can’t .”“ Did any one tell you to w ait here?”“ No, inarm, but I’m doing it on my

own hook. I t’s awful hot, and I ’m most dead, bu t I’ve got to stand it.”

She looked to see if he was tied, and was about to go on and regard him as the son of a brutal father in a saloon around the corner, when the lad ex­plained:

“ There he is now! T hat boy up there is the chap I was waiting for, and I had to sit out here to see him when he tu rned the corner. H e’s the feller tha t called my sister a poke-eyed rab­bit, and I ’m going to jum p in on him and lick him m ost to death! I wish you’d hold my box so I can ge t the bulge on him afore he suspects any th ing .” — Detroit Free'Press.

Self-Winding Clocks.

A c l o c k -m a k e r of Copenhagen, named Louis Soenderberg, who for some tim e past has had charge of tha t city’s electric tim e-keepers, has ju st in­vented an ingenious appliance which obviates the necessity of winding,up the regulator, from which the clocks in question “ take th e ir tim e.”. By a me­chanical contrivance which periodically cuts off the stream of electric fluid ema­nating from the battery , and brings an electric m agnet to bear upon the re­laxed m ainspring in such a way as to renew its tension instantaneously, per­petual motion is practically im parted to the works of the regulator—that is to say, as long as the batteries connected with it are k e p t properly supplied with acids. The discoverer of this im portant im provem ent has satisfied himself, by 9ix m onths successful experim ents in his own workshops, th a t his system works faultlessly, and has applied for perm ission to adap t it to the electric clocks set up by the m unicipality in dif­ferent parts of the Danish capital. E lectricity, under Mr. Soenderberg’s compulsion, is destined no t only to make the Copenhagen clocks gp. but to wind them up, w ith never-ending re­currence, until the “ crack of doom.” — London Telegraph.

This distinctive m ark of an Annamite is not, however, usually seen in the vicinity of Saigon, but is now confined to the inhab itan ts of the more northern section of the em­pire, where the race has rem ained more distinct.

jow or

Much has been said b essayist and the novel helplessness of woman. T hey have de­picted this in touching and eloquen t strains, and W ashington Irv in g has im­m ortalized it in his fam ous simile of the vine and the oak. I t strikes m e with astonishm ent, however, th a t there should have been no one, so far, to hold up a picture of w hat is far m ore p it­iab le—the helplessness of man. In certain provinces a m an is helpful enough, but there are phases of his na­ture and life in which his helplessness is much more glaring th an th a t of a woman. To give my readers an exam ­ple, what man (m arried men, especial­ly.) is capable of finding a clean hand­kerchief or any o ther article of dress fo r him self?

Suppose his be tter half is suddenly called off or is detained by household cares, and he is throw n on his own re ­sources about ge tting himself out a handkerchief o r any o ther article of dress. His search is as fu tile as the various ones th a t have been made for the body of Sir John Franklin. Tho desired article may be just at hand, bu t the “ lords of creation” have a rem arka­ble talen t of not binding anything, even though it be touching their elbo staring them in the face.

A nother occasion on which a man shows himself helpless and powerless is iu the presence of the baby (aliim the despot) of the household, who continues to impose its shackles on its subjects despite the abolition of slavery and of serfdom. On Sunday evenings, as the nurse puts on her “ store clothes” and starts out on he r Sunday evening stro ll, “ the gude m an” feels an uncom forta­ble sensation steal over him. He reas­sures himself, however, by the though t th a t he has his wife to she lte r him self behind. He stretches himself out on a luxurious lounge, laying a pile of de­lightful new magazines and papers be­side him. He is soon deep in an in te r­esting article, while a m erry, good- hum ored coo from the baby occasionally breaks on his ear, not d isturbing him , but ra the r stirring up a sentim ental and poetical feeling, so much so th a t he vaguely m editates w riting a poem to the child, and even goes so far as to com ­pose the opening claose—“ Oh thou beauteous b ab e!”

His dream y and luxurious ease is, however, at length in terrup ted by a ring at the bell. A note is nauded iu, inform ing them that his wife’s aun t is very sick, and requesting • th a t h e r niece come to her as quickly as possi­ble. “ I will have to leave little Hal with you a sho rt tim e, H enry, dea r,” says his wife, cajolingly, “ but I will come back as soon as I possibly can .” H enry assumes the charge, though w ithout enthusiasm , and, as his wife disappears from the door, a though t

S’im m ared over his m ind that, al- ough women are the w eaker vessels,

they are useful enough creatures. A t first all goes m erry as a m arriage bell. L ittle Hal condescends to be am used with his fa ther’s watch and chain, and to pull his hair and beard m ost ami­ably. Indeed, the fa ther begins to th ink that, a fte r all, th e child will no t be a serious in terruption, and tries to peep furtively into the latest Scribner and resume reading the article he had begun—an experim ent which resu lted in little H al’s grabbing at the book and rending in tw ain several of the choicest pictures in it, which led his fa ther to the conclusion that, for the p resent, literature had better be pu t aside. For a tim e little Hal seemed am used by the various things which his father heaped upon him to play with, nothing in the room being deemed too rare or choice for the purpose; but, a fter a time, like a youthful Alexander, he began to sigh for fresh worlds to conquer. He g rew restive and im patient, and, finally, broke into a wail, which he continued, with little intermission till his m other, after the lapse of two or three hours, retu rned and resum ed charge of him. Meantime, his father had stood a t bay, as thorough an em bodim ent of help­lessness as was ever seen, and no voy­ager, wrecked on desert isle, ever hailed the approach of a ship m ore gladly than he did th a t of his wife.

Another case in which a man is help­less is when he comes in contact w ith a woman who has a grudge against him. He may excel her in reason, logic and learning, bu t no m atter, he is unable to m easure swords with her. She has weapons so line, so keen and so subtle that, although he can feel them , he can­not see nor touch them. As. Mrs. Browning says, a.woman can take a fine cam bric needle and to rtu re w ith it.A man who has incurred a w om an’s r e ­sentm ent will be stung and bew ildered by her keen, yet delicate th rusts. He feels a vague sense of thorough discom ­fort which he can scarcely analyze or refer to an origin. His own gross weapons are out of place in such a con­test. He lays them down and stands helpless.

A nother sta te of th ings th a t brings out the m asculine helplessness in boltF relief is sickness. This, I adm it, tends to produce helplessness both in m an and woman, bu t in tho la tte r it is no t so thorough nor so m arked by im becili­ty as in the case of the man. So little idea has a m an of m aking himselt com­fortable when he is sick, that he does not even know how to adjust his pillow, and were it not for the kind offices of some “ m inistering angel,” m other, sister, wife or daughter, as the case may be, he would toss on a bed of re s t­less pain, as uncasv and uncom fortable as a lion caged and netted.

Tho moral of which, young m en, is (in tho words of a French authoress of the day) tha t “ it is well to m arry young .”— Mary W. Early , in Free Press.

The w riter who is not sharp very naturally makes dull points.

Just below Kanawha falls, in w en V ir­ginia, is an overhanging rock of immense size jutting out about 100 feet over the seething whirlpool, and about the same height above This was once the scene of a remarkable adventure. The Indians were in hot pursuit of Vau Bibber, a settler abd a man of distinction la those early times lie was hard pressed, aud, all acoess to the river below and above being cut off. he was driven to this jutting rook, which proved to be the jumping-off place for him. He stood on the rock, in full view enemy above aud below, who yelled like demons at the certainty of his speedy cap­ture. He stood up boldly and with his rifle kept them at bay. A she stood there he looked across the river—oaw his friends —his wife with her babe in her arms, and helpless to render assistance They stood as if petrified with terror and amaze­ment She cried at the top of her voice: “ Leap into the river and meet me!” Lay­ing her babe on the grass, she seized the! < ars aud sprang iutd the skiff alone. As she neared the middle of the river her hus husband saw the Iudiaus coming in full force and yelling like demons ‘‘Wife, wife," he screamed, “ I ’m coming; drop down a little low er.” With this be sprung from his crag and descended like an arrow into the water, feet foremost The wife j rested on her oars a moment to see him rise to the surface, the little canoe floating like a cork, bobbiug about on the boiling flood. It was an awful moment; it seem­ed an age to her; would be ever rise? Her earnest gaze seemed to penetrate the depths of the water, and she darted her boat farther down the stream. He rose near her; in u moment the canoe was alongside of him, and she helped him to scramble into it amid a shower of arrows and shot that the baffled Indians poured into them. The daring wife did not speak a w ord; her husband was more dead than alive, and all depended on her strength be­ing maintained till they could reach the hank. This she did, just where she had started, right where the babe was still lying, crowing and laughing. The men pulled the skiff high upon Hie sand, and the wife slowly arose aud helped to lift Van Bibber to his feet. He could not walk, but she laid him down by his babe,

nd tbe»j,sealing herself, she wept wildly,hat

just as any other woman would have done under i he circumstances. That babe is m>w a grandfather, and that rock js called ‘ Van Bibber’s rock" to this day.

The population of the United Slates is largely on the iuefease Recent statistics are as follows: Immigration reached a maximum of 319,000 iu 1854 and fell off after the paDic of 1873 to a maximum of r-5,000 iu 1877; since that year it has been steadily increasing, and promises this year to surpass in numbers that of any previous year-, it will more likely exceed than fall "below 4(V),000. Moreover the immigrants are largely of the best class; many skilled workmen are numbered among them; not a few bring with them considerable means; j Germany, Sweden, Norway and England j are all largely represented. Two days’ Im­migration recently landed 4,000 at OaStle Garden; nearly 5,000 left in a single week | from Bremen alone, for the United States and 500 in one day from Scotland The j army bill m Germany and the land troubles in England iave helped to swell the stream into the proportions of a tor­rent; and the Irish famine will almost inevitably add to it this summer.

A Large Block of Sandstone.At the Dark Hollow stone quarry, near

Bedford, Ohio, one of the largest stones ever blasted iu this country was “ lifted” a week or two ago. The stone is 40 p y 50 feet square and about 30 feet thick, and it requires 185 slip wedges to make a sue cessful blast. When cut tin into pieces it will make nearly 300 car loads of building stone Immense blocks of stone aie frequently taken out of the quarries there which would make the stones* iu Solo­mon’s Temple mere pebbles in compari­son. Its weight was estimated to be about6,000,086 *--- >■

Good authority estimates the total dost of fences in the United States at $ 1,747,-1 549,931, which is one-twelfth the estimat­ed value of t l* real estate of the country Nearly $94,000,000 are annually expended in the repairs of fences. Tire yearly ifcjer- est on the first cost of the fences, rafpd at <i per cent, per annum, amounts to about $105,000,000. The cost of fenfgs in the State of New York was $228,874 011; in Pennsylvania, $179,1884,494; in Ohio. $153,580,688.; in Iqdlhipi, $100,759,415; and in Illinois

Adventure* with Alligator*.A coRBKsroNUKNT ot the New Y ork

Sun write* from Florid*:I ouee visited Lake Jessup with

Judge Emmons, of Jacksonville. The Judge was a w onderful m arksm an, as full of fun as a m agpie; bu t he was getting old and his eye-fight was fail­ing. One day we killed a m onster alliga­tor on the edge of a m arshy canebrage. He had splendid teeth, and the Judge wanted to uwcore them as m em entoes. The painter of the boat was tied to the reptile’s leg, and we towed him across an arm of the lake to solid ground. A small ax was borrowed from the house of a ‘‘ c ra c k e r” near by, and we con­cluded to decapitate the prize, boil the head, and rem ove the teeth. The body was so large th a t we could not draw it upon the shore. A stake was cut aud pointed, aud driven through the jaws of the reptile, pinning him into the mud. The w ater was probably two feet deep. The Judge drew out a sheath knife, and was about to make an incision, when he was cautioned by a bare-footed negro, who stood on the bank watching the operation w ith curi­ous eyes.

“ B etter " it shut o’ da t ah gatah, shuah ,” saiu he, “ twell he done gone dead .”

“ Oh, good heaven!” exclaim ed the Judge, “ lie's been dead an hour. If Ik? was alive, do you reckon he’d allow us to drive a stake through him ?”

“ No gatah am dead till de sun am gone down,” the darkie observed.

The Judge laughed, and passed me the knife. I inserted the blade in a bullet hole near the shoulder, and cu t a gash in the flesh, following the tren d of the diam ond-shaped scales beneath the skin. Judge Emmons stood near the m onster’s tail. The knife penetrated the quivering flesh and was stained with blood As quick as a flash the tail shot from the w ater and the Judge was knocked fully ten feet. The rop-< tile raised its head, stake and all, and sailed out into the lake like a subm arine battery . Judge Em m ons lost his glasses, but was fortunately unhurt. The inci­dent, however, convinced him that it was dangerous to fool with a dead alli­ga to r until after sundown.

In the w inter of 1875 I was encam ped in the great Turnbull Swamp, ninety miles south of St. Augustine, hunting deer, bears, wildcats, cougars and wild turkeys. There was a g rea t drought, and the savannas and swamps were dry. Scores of alligators paraded the dry savannas in search of w ater. One day Captain F rank Sams and Tom M ur­ray, two well-known guides, rode past the encam pment. They were looking for sour orange stum ps, with the in ten ­tion of transplanting and g rafting them. A hundred yards from cam p they reined in their horses on a burn t sa­vanna and began to shout. Snatching a double-barrdled gun, I ran out on the savanna. Their horses were prancing around an enorm ous bull alligator, who bad crawled out of the dry swam p, aud who was headed for the Hillsbo­rough River. He was confused by the shouts of the guides and the prancing of their horses, and I approached him unseen. Stealing behind him, I ran a long palm etto splin ter into his eye. He turned lum beringly over the black­ened stubble, and the guides struck at him with cow whips. Driven to wari- | ness, he crouched close to the ground, puffed out his throat, opened his cavernous mouth, and made a noise like the rushing of a wind. A m om ent afterw ard I discharged a load of bu kshot into each eye. The m on­ster shuddered, and stre tched himself in the agonies of death. Captain Sams dism ounted and buried his ax in the rep tile ’s tail. The vertebra was sev­ered, and he was no longer dangerous, although there was still life in the tail. It moved slowly and uneasily like the tail of a wounded snake, and the guides declared tha t it would not die until the se tting of the sun. At in tervals the caym an roared like a C entral Park liou. Tow ard night I w ent to th e swamp to m ark the roosts of wild tu r ­keys. The day was oppressively hot.I was return ing tow ard camp long afte r dark, when I found myself on the b u rn t savanna. To my surprise, the whole savanna seem ed alive and m oving. Nearly worn out with exhaustion , I fancied that my head was reeling, a sure sign of m alaria fever. The phe­nomenon was quickly explained. A thousand buzzards were in camp near the great alligator, aw aiting the ligh t of day to secure their prey. A year afterw ard 1 found the skeleton of th is saurian, and knocked out its teeth . T he savanna was then covered w ith w ater a foot deep.

How a Noble Dog Rescued Captain Jack Crawford, U. S. A.

A San Jose dispatch to the Denver Tribune says: Last Monday a num ber of soldiers went from Fort Craig to the Rio Grande for a bath. Among them was Captain Jack Crawford. A fter be­ing in the w ater about th ree-quarters of an hour Captain Jack s ta rted to cross tow ard the o ther side over a sand bar, on which the w ater was only from six inches to a foot deep. Several of the o thers followed Jack , and they had considerable fun tripping each other and rolling over in the water, while tw o of the boys got Jack down in the shallow w ater and tickled him in the ribs until he was nearly exhausted with laughter, he being very ticklish. In o rder to g e t away from his to rm entors Ja c k rolled over tow ard the deep wa­te r on the lower edge of the bar, and when he go t up on his feet he kept baoking down stream , and although there was no t over two feet of w ater where ho stood, yet the cu rren t was so strong th a t it would carry him down should he lose his footing. He kept splashing w ater on those who had been

tinkling him, and bantering them to come on after him, when suddenly he made two or three desperate efforts to get baokybfct' failed. Yet he said not a word, or the others might have joined hands aud reached fo r him. No one dream ed for a m om ent that he was try ing to extricate himself from the

auicksand. All a t once he went down ke a piece , of lead. Even 'th e n we

thought he had taken a dive, un­til ne was under water longer than a m an would willingly stay, and, indeed, no one would have noticed this particularly had we not heard a peculiar sound, more like the roar of a lion than any th ing else, and the next instan t J a c k ’s dog, “ H ero ,” a beautiful St. B ernard, was seen swimming toward his m aster, while he set up a howl th a t seem ed to say, “ I ’m com ing.” Jack came up about twenty-live yards below where he w ent down, and righ t in the center of a te r­ribly swift current, near where the river would w ake a swift, sharp tu rn . He was nearly exhausted when the sand broke f^om under him, aud, s tr ik ­ing a whirlpool, he could make little or no headway, and had to use all his streng th to keep from being caught in the suction. Hill, a soldier, o rderly for General Hatch, soon as he saw the dog go for Jack , also sprang in the curren t, but Hero got to Jack first, just as he was going down the second tim e, and, taking him by the hair of the head, brought him above w ater. Jack , who never lost his presence of mind, caught the dog by the back ju st above the hip, and the laithful H ero brought him safe to shore, nearly a mile below where he first went down. This was really a narrow escape, as an officer aud live soldiers w ent dow n nearly in the same place a few years ago and were never seen. A wagon and team of mules disappeared in the river two years ago and have not tu rned up yet. An old M exican brought Jack over from the opposite shore in a boat, while Hero never ceased licking his hands and face until he came out of the boat. In about an hour Jack was all righ t again, except tha t he had a headache and could not hear good, his ears being full of water.

ALL SORTS.

Dky Lake, in Lake County, Oregon, about twelve miles from Tulu Lake, which has only held w ater two or three tim es since the country has been occupied by white people, is now a large lake.

Attention is called by a St. P e ters­burg correspondent to the fact th a t till now no Em peror of Russia has been a widower. A new ceremonial for the interm ent of the late Empress had there­fore to bo improvised.

A new m ethod of suicide was re­cently chosen by a Russian teacher. He m ounted his horse . and m adly leaped from a high precipice in toa river. The man was drowned, but the horse, though m uch hurt, came out of the wa­te r alive.

A large plate-glass window on Tre- m ont street, Boston, was broken the o ther day in a singular m anner. A passing horse-car struck a pebble in the street so hard th a t it was projected through the window with the force of a m usket-ball.

Seeds of the cone-bearing trees of California were form erly in dem and abroad a t from one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five dollars a pound, and there are millions of trees now growing in England and on the continent or Europe from seeds sen t from California during the last tw enty- five years. Many of the trees are now bearing seed, and hence the dem and for seeds from California has g reatly de­creased.

Laura Markle, of Kingston, N. Y., betook herself to the middle of a stream to avoid service of a summons. The officer pursued her, and tried to show her the Judge’s signature, but Laura declared that he was only try ing to drown her, and knocked the papers from his hand. They floated down stream and sank, and he had to strip and dive for them . “ Sullicient serv ­ice,” quoth the Judge, and the officer doubtless thought it mope than suffi­cient.

Matthew Lynch, who was killed re­cently in New Mexico by a falling tree , left an estate of over $4,000,000. He was a Philadelphian, a Roman Catholic, and a bachelor, who fought through the civil war and a t its close w ent out to New Mexico with a small capital, which he used in purchasing a canal supply­ing the mines of Elizabethtow n with water. This s ta rted him on the road to wealth, and later he discovered the Az­tec mines, which yielded $60,000 a m onth. His heirs are two brothers and one sister.

There has been for some tim e on ex­hibition in London a seal, which, for its extraordinary intelligence, is called “ the learned seal.” I t is kep t in an immense tank, and has been taught to draw a small boat in which is seated a lad who steers the craft, and whose commands are implicitly obeyed by the animal. After being unharnessed the seal thrum s the strings of n g u ita r which the a ttendan ts placo beneath its tins, much to the delight and am use­m ent of the spectators.

A California heroine, who lives upon her father's ranch, in Siskiyou County, was recently introduced to a bear in the absence of her father. She did not bolt the doors and take refuge under the bed, but summoned the fam ­ily dogs and turned then loose upon her visitor. Bruin retreated to the nearest tree. The girl then took down her father’s rifle, and walking to the foot of the tree, took deliberate aim and fired. Fortunately the first shot proved a m ortal one, and the bear fell from his perch dead.

A P h i l a d e l p h i a music publisher with an ear for music, has been w riting and publishing w hat he calls “ M emo­ries of the P irates of Penzance.” The authors of the opera object to this m ethod of having their airs stolen, and the case is in court to test a m an’s righ t to use his mem ory for his own gain.

Mr. J . T. Trowbridge is said to never compose his poems with pen in hand, nor his prose w ithout it. His poetic muse visits him chiefly in the open air daring his walks, or while floating in a boat on the pond near his house.

He is an engineer of g rea t reputation and fam iliar with railways, having been m anager of the Saxon State Railroad.

Prof. Lounsbuuy has discovered a new use for slang. He says it is the tendency of language in the hands of the literary class to Become form al and dead; and th a t slang phrases having their oi-igin in popular usage, and be­ing coined out of actual experiences, by a process of natu ral selection become the feeders of the literary language of the people; so th a t it often happens th a t w hat is vulgar in one age is classic in the next? f l e derides the idea th a t language needs w atching and cannot be tru sted to the people a t large.

Management of Grass Lands.J o h n B . M o o r e , Esq., of Concord,

Mass., gives his experience w ith grass lands, Whioh is very suggestive. He does not top dress the lantL but plows it up every tivo or six years. The land whioh he lays down to grass is genera l­ly where he has raised a crop of cab­bages or cauliflowers, frequently both. He generality p lan ts a couple of acres with cauliflowers, and his rule is to keop twenty-five acres in grass. On this, with ten acres of swale hay, he keeps four Dorses and tn irty head of cattle, and sells annually fifty tons of hay in a year. On his farm he always has refuse from his vegetable garden and also corn-stalks, which he feeds to Ins ca t­tle. He cuts tw o crops of hay in a year. The first crop he sells; the second, with his swale hay, garden refuse and corn-stalks, he feeds to his stock. His horses he feeds w ith his best hay, and never lets his cattle feed upon his mowings. The grass tha t grows afte r the second mo w in" he lets rem ain upon the ground. The land which he has in grass is moist, and he could not tu rn his cattle upon it w ith­out th e ir poaching. This ho considers one of the reasons why he raises such heavy crops of hay. A neighbor of his, who always fed his cows on the afterm ath , aud who has equally as good land as his, and who m anured as heavily, failed to ge t any th ing like so good crops as Mr. Moore did. W hen asked why it was, Mr. Moore replied that he a ttribu ted it to the fact th a t he never fed his afterm ath'. Since that, his neighbor ceased tu rn in g his cows upon his mowing, and now ho cuts as heavy crops of hay as does Mr. Moore.

Take Care of the F ru it Trees.

F r u i t was to lerated, to some extent, by our Puritan fathers, but only with the express understand ing th a t it should take care of itself. Hoed craps and sowed crops had righ ts which everybody respected. They were eared for a t sta ted tim es and seasons; b u t if fru it trees received a tten tion it was a t the last end of a convenient tim e. Con­venient tim es are scarce, and so fru it trees w ere left p re tty m uch to their own resources.

Fashions change, and now we hear a good deal about the cu lture of o r­chards. L et us see w hat good cu ltu re means. First, it m eans enough to feed upon aud not too much. Some trees are starved and some are surfeited- A soil just righ t for w heat is about righ t for fruit. Corn is a gross feeder and will bear m ore m anure th an apples or

ears, and so, also, will, grass. If the and is too rich the trees run to wood;

tender, porous wood, too, insuring blight, in the case of pears, and little or no fruit. G enerally o rchards are starved. In th a t condition they will bloom abundantly , and bear, aa~ far as they are able, of small, flavorless fru it; but the effort w eakens the vitality , dead limbs appear, the whole tree gets ready to die, and, unless it has b e tte r care, it does die. Fertilizers a t the roots, forking and m ulching, th inning of the top so th a t the nourishm ent shall be equal to the dem and, and, in many cases, th inn ing of the fru it, will give new vigor and long life to the tre e .— Golden Rule.

How to Select Provisions.

Beef should be of a b right red color, well streaked w ith yellowish fat, and surrounded with a th ick outside layer of fat. Good m utton is b right red, with plenty of hard, white fat. Veal and pork should be of a b righ t flesh col­or, with an abundance of h a rd , white, sem i-transparen t fat. Lam b of the best kind has delicate rosy m eat, and white, alm ost tran sparen t fat. Fresh poultry may be known by its full b righ t eyes, pliable feet, and m oist skin; the best is plump, fat and nearly white. The feet and neck of a chicken suitable for broil­ing are large in proportion to its size; the tip of the breast bone is soft and easily bent betw een the lingers. Fish, when fresh, have firm flesh, bright, clear eyes, rigid fins and ruddy gills. Lobsters and crabs m ust be b righ t in color and lively in m ovem ent. Roots and tubers m ust be plum p, even-sized, with fresh, unshriveled skins, and are good from ripening tim e until they be­gin to sprout. All g reen vegetables should be very crisp, fresh and juicy, and are best ju st before flowering. Nev­er use skewers, as they cause the m eat juices to escape. N ever touch lettuce with a knife, as it im pairs the flavor and destroys the crispness of the leaf; always tea r it ap a rt with the fingers.— Miss Corson.

How to Build a Fence.

I was sorely perplexed about my fences, and as lum ber was high, rail tim ber scarce and income small, the problem was of slow solution. The old rail fences would probably average about four or five rails to the length, so I finally set a row of posts ten feet apart and spiked on four rails to the length, and nailed on an up and a down cleat to “ set it oft.” T he fence was substantial, but a s tra n g e r in passing one day observed th a t the fenco could be “ better and quicker bu ilt by ju st sp litting the posts in two, sharpen the ends, m ake two holes with a crow -bar four inches apart, drive the stakes down, wire the tops together, pu t a stone betw een the stakes to keop the fence rails up, and slip in your rails, and believe th a t it is a b e tte r w ay.” We tried it and it was the th ing, and our old fences, with little labor, will go on again for years.— Cor. Cleveland Herald.

In dusting, use a soft oloth instead of a brush o r wing; the cloth will catoh all the dust, and you can shake it from the window, whue the o thers seU it floating again.

Apple Marmalade.—Do not peel our apples, but core and alioe them aa or a ta r t. Choose hard apples, like

russets, or any apple th a t does not m ash in oooVmg; boil them very rapidly in sirup, Juat enough to cover them , until clear looking, and, if liked, add a few cloves or lemon peel.

R ye sown in August will m ake excel­len t pasture for sheep. It may be pas­tu red p re tty close and still left for g ra in next season, or it may be again pastured and plowed for corn in May. This is an excellent m ethod of p rep a r­ing land for corn, oats or potatoes, and, w here m arket crops are grown, is used extensively as a preparation for spring crops.

Cleaning Compound. — Mix one ounce of borax and one ounce of gum cam phor with one quart of boiling wrater. W hen oool add one p in t of a l­cohol; bottle and cork tightly . W hen wranted for use shake well and sponge the garm ents to be cleaned. This is an excellent m ixture for cleaning soiled black cashm ere and woolen dr coat collars and black felt hats.

Coffee Ice Cream.—Three pints of cream, one cup of strong, clear coflee, two cups ot sugar, two tablespoons of arrowroot wet in cold milk; heat half of the cream to boiling; stir in the sugar, and when this is dissolved, the cofl'ee; then the arrowroot; boil all to-§ ether about five minutes; when cold

eat up very light, udiipping in the rest of the cream by degrees; then freeze.

Chicago Ice Cream. —Irish moss soaked in w ater one hour, and rinsed well to cleanse it of sand and a certa in foreign taste ; then steep in milk, keep­ing it just a t the point of boiling or sim m ering for one hour, or until a riel yellow col&r is given th the m ilk: w ith out cream or eggs, from one to one and a half ounces to a gallon only is neces­sary, and this will do to steep twice. Sw eeten and flavor with lemon or vanil­la, and freeze.

It requires, theoretically , four pounds of com to m ake one pound of pork, and allow for waste, undigested m atter, and for the sustenance of life. I t is scarce­ly possible th a t a pound of pork can be produced on less than this. In practice the best results a tta ined have ap proached th is very closely, and four and a half pounds of corn have produced a pound of pork. But as mixed food is m ore healthful than all corn, there is economy in feeding waste milk, boiled sm all potatoes, cu t clover and o ther such food. Pork at the worst can be m ade for the price of four and a half pounds of corn.

Onion Soup Without Meat.—Drop in a saucepan a bit of b u tte r half the size of a hen’s egg. W hen hot add two o r three large onions; slice them ; s tir and cook them until they are red: then add a half teacupful of flour. S tir this also until red and do not let it scorch. N ext pour in a p int of boiling w ater and season to taste w ith pepper and salt. Mix well and let boil a m inute; then pour it into a soup-kettle and place a t the back of the range or stove until ready to serve. Add then one and a half pints of boiling m ilk and tw o or th ree well-mashed potatoes. Add to the potatoes a little of the soup a t first, then a little more until they are sm ooth and thin enough to put into the kettle . S tir all well together; test to see if the soup is properly seasoned; if no t add w hatever of salt, jpepper or b u tte r m ay be needed. Let it sim m er a few m in­utes. Pour over toasted bread cu t in small pieces and placdd in the bottom of the tureen.

The disease known as “ big h e a d ” and “ big ja w ” is an en largem ent of the bones of the head or the lower jaw. Both are the same disease, bu t appear­ing in different places. The charac te r of the disease is a softening of the bones, which become porous or spongy, lose their solidity and streng th , and become fractured, or the sinews and muscles lose their hold upon them . I t is common for the whole bony s tru c ­tu re of tho skeleton to be involved, for the disease is constitutional. It is pe­culiarly one special to the M ississippi Valley, where the rich alluvial soils im part some quality to the herbage, or which causes it to be defective in some qualities, so as to affect the nutrition of anim als disastrously. There is no cure in advanced cases, bu t when the bones of the upper jaw and face or the lower jaw are found to be enlarging, tre a t­m en t by tonics should be begun a t once. Phosphoric acid in sixty-drop doses may be given to a full-grow n horse, and ten drops to a yearling, in the drinking-w ater. An equivalent of phosphate of iron may be given. E x­clusive corn-feeding is a frequent cause. Oats should be the chief food.
