intruder at his usual place. He then
snatched the newspaper from the others
hand, and glanced around at the specta-
tors with triumphant look, which i'm

Ben Cullum looked at him with smile

French Bill then jerked the Mexican
blanket from the shoulders of the youth,
and, throwing it down, put his foot upon

that sounded hoarse as the laugh Of a

The ranger slightly colored, and gazed
with the same singular smile into the eyes
Of the duellist, as if he would yanquish him
by a look. ,.,,,l.,s,..fs
Coward and villain!" suddenly vocife-
rated the bully, "if you have spark OF
manhood in your paltroon's heart, show
us how they resent Insults in Texas!"
Then, quick as flash oflightning from
thunder cloud, Ben Cullum bounded to
his feet, and grasping French Bills nose
with one hand his long black beard with
the other, opened his jaws, and discharg-
volley of tobacco juice into his mouth,

The Hight of an Ocean Wave.


The last London Quarterly has very
interesting article, done up in its own best
style, on the monster steamer now build
ing on the banks Of the Thames. We
find in it the following: ,.AF 1'.'
-i2d 1t was prophesied that Mr. Brunell's IS
first ship, the Great Western, would be
doubled up'as she rested on the crest of
the Atlantic waves; and we all know how
the prophecy was fulfilled When it was
made, indeed, we were very much in the
dark as to- the size of the ocean waves,
and it was not until the introduction of
long steamers that they could be measur-
ed with any accuracy. DR.. Scoresby,
while crossing the Atlantic, in one of the
Cunard boats, some years since, closely
observed the waves, and by means of the
known length of the ship, was enabled to
form a pretty accurate idea of their di-
mensions.. The old vague account Of
their being mountains high was well known
before that time to be an exaggeration;
but we do not think even philosophers
were prepared for the statement made by
this observer, at meeting some years
since, of the British Association, that
they averaged no more than twenty feet
in altitude, and rarely exceed twenty y-eight
feet" "a g - - tss' lS

But o few years ago, an immen Sc SEN
safion was produced among the excitable
aud sight-loving citizens of New Orleans,
By the appearance Of two raipbew- C olored
Mexican Blankets in their gayest thorough
fares, and places Of public amusement.
The effect did not result SO much from
the singniarity Of the curious costume; by
no means. raru arss IN terTis to the good
people of the river Crescent, as from the
rich brilliahcy of the article, and the brave
looks and demeanor Of the wearers. In
deed. their martial aspect would have rem
defed them the object of attention in any
capital Of the civilized or savage world;
for their every gesture, glance, and motion
announced cool self-possession, and even
fscklsseIprowes Their very beot-heels,
as they cracked like pistol shots on the
pavement, sounded as a sort of general de-
fance and challenge to all mankind.
The consciously felt the soliiity of the
great globe beneath their feet, and had no
feafssof its crust breaking through. They
appeared TO claim, a sufficient quantity OF
air. and sunshine as, their birth-right, for

monopohsts ana tyrants until death. One

Value of Time.

The Roman Emperor said, ri have lost

he had exclaimed, "I have lost king
DOM" G.
Napoleon said that the reason why he
beat the Austrians was, that they did not
know the value of FIVE minutes. At the
celebrated battle of Rivoli, the conflict
seemed on the point of being decided
against him. He saw the critical state
of affairs, and instantly took his resolu-
ton. He dispatched flag to the Aus
trian headquarters, with proposals for an
armistice. The unwary Austriansfell into
the snare, and for few minutes the thun-
ders of battle were hushed. Napoleon
seized the precious moments, and, while
amusing the enemy with mock negotia-
tions, re-arranged his line of battle, chang
ed his front, and, in few minutes, was
ready to renounce the farce of discussion
for the stern arbitrament of arms. The
splendid victory of Rivoli was the result.
The great moral victories and defeats
of the world often turn on minutes.
Crises come-the seizing of which is vic
tory, the neglect of which is ruin. Men
may loiter, but time flies, and life flies on
the wings of time, and all the great in
terests of life are speeding on with the
sure and silent tread of destiny.

Last Island Sufferers.

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER WRITTEN BY
A. LADY RESIDING NEAR LAST ISLAND.
LouIsIANA.-People are recovering in a
measure from the effects of the storm.
There never was seen in the world more
awful calamity. You would hardly credit
what could tell you concerning it. One
of the rescued dined with US the other
day-a Mr.. R., who had been given up
as lost irrecoverably. A reward was Of
fered for his body, and friends mourning
for him, when, by the strangest chance he
was discovered. He had ifoated upon q
billiard table and landed on the marshes,
which, on this coast, are as uninhabitable
as the sea itself. There, for ten days, he
subssted on snaiks and one dead rat, which
came swimming along too There, in the
blazing August sun-not q tree for miles
and miles, not shrub nothing but the
impossible and impenetrable cane-brake,
he survived every horror, and lived on still,
/ in the providence of his unsearchable
Maker, he was sought outiby one solitary
fishing boat, and rescued by it's humane
master, who, doubtless from the generos-
ity within him, had been cruising about,
in the hope of doing some chance good.
The scene which occurred upon his unex-
pected arrival home, was truly affecting.
The news reached them few moments
before his own landing, when every negro
rushed from the plantation, some jumped
into the bayou and swan to meet the boat.
They shouted, nay, laughed, danced, seized
their master by the feet, legs, arms, neck
and hands, kissed him wherever they could
! touch him, he kissing them in return. AT
last the over-joyed creatures, elevating
him upon their shoulders, carried him of
in triumph to the house. I thought to
myself could Henry Ward Beecher, his
sister and all his relatives do more.l49 q.

The Census of Russia

The Moniteurde pArmee has the following
as the re suits of the census of the Russian
Empire, taken by order Of the Emperor at
the time of his accession to the throne:-
The total number of population amounts
to 63,000,000, the principal elements of
which give results unknown to the rest of
Europe. The clergy ofthe Russian church
stands for the enormous number of 5IO,-
900; that of the tolerated creeds 35, 900;
the herditary nobility l55, 600; the petty
bourgeeise, Including discharged soldiers,
425, 5000; foreigners residing temporarily,
40,000 different bodies of Cossacks colo
nized on the Oural, the Don, the Wolga,
the Black Sea, the Baikal, the Basehkirs
and the irregular Kalmucks, 1000, 900;
the population of the towns, the middle
and lower classes, 5000, 900; the popula-
tion of the country parts, 45,000,00O; the
wandering tribes, soc, 900; the inhabitants
of the trans Caucasian possessions, I,40O,-
600; the kingdom of Poland, 1920, 900;
the Grand iDuehy of Finland, l,4O0, 900;
and the Russian colonies in America, ILL.,
600. At the accession of the Emperor
Nicholas the census then taken only
gaves a population of $1,000, ,00OsA
This large increase in the space of thirty
years may, however, be readily understood
when tits considered that the Russian ter
STORY has now an extent of %, 100000 of
square kilometer(a kilometer is five eighths
of a mile) and a length Of cost of $4,000
kilometers. If the population continues
to increase in the same proportion it will,
by 1909, amount to 10O,OO0,0OO. The
Russion Empire, according to the same
document, contains LIZ different peoples,
divided into l 2 principal races, the most
numerous of which is the. .Sclavonian, in
cluding the Russians property so called,
the Poles, the Cossacks, and the Servian
colonies of the Doleper.. These popu-
lations { inhabit the finest and the most
important provinces of the empire.
