Some time last fall a stranger ap.

He was foreigner, and his manner

until the month of April last. While
boarding at her house he became ac.

Tho wine VanIt. Of SpaID,

A correspondent Of the Providence
Journal has been taking a look into the
sherry vaults Of Jerez, Spain, which be
thus Describes:
One imaeines. when speaking Of wine
vaults, chambers deep under ground,
dark and damp, and filed with cot-
webs and mold. But those Of Jerez
are Of an entirely different kind. Sber-
ry will not bear being kept in cellars
where it is exposed TO moisture aud
mold, but must always be stored in dry,
airy places, where no damp can reach
it. The wine vaults Of Jerez, then, are
built on this principle, and consist Of
large stone buildings erected on the
ground, perhaps two hundred feet
long, one hundred feet wide, and from
the floor to the center Of the roof some
forty feet high. At the top Of the solid
stone walls forming the sides, are M
merous grated windows, through which
constant current Of cir is flowing. In
these rooms or vaults stand the long
rows Of pipes containing the wine,
piled three tiers high. There the viii Q
remains, year after year, evaporatiDg,
concentrating, and, Of course, increas
ing in value constantly, until at last it
changes from the light-colo ed. raw
sherry, into dark, murky looking vino,
which demands most fabulous price.
We began with the vaults cont lining
che lower priced wines, about $500 per
pipe, and small glasses of it were
kindly given us. We then passed into
another large vault, where the higher
priced wines are kept, and again sam
Piles OF the various kinds were submit
ted Tor our examination. First we had
a sherry at $400 in gold per pipe, and
it certainly was superb article. Then
came a dry sherry at $500 per pipe,
but to one With taste not accustomed
TO it, it is generally not as pleasant as
the common sherry. Then came sweet
wines, which the ladies declared de-
licious, but the gentlemen disliked,
As we proceeded we tasted sherry Of
every kind, at $500, $3.50, $3.50 and
5000 per pipe, but being unused tC
these rich old wines, we one and al
preferred the $40O to the 5000 sherry,
At last we were conducted to an i'm
mense tank, named Napoleon" from
which was drawn dark, mmky-look
ing wine, which seemed as "solid" al
wine could be. Upon tasting it, WI
declared it admirable, but it was {
sherry SO valuable that no price hal
been set on it, because no one woult
be willing to pay what it is really
worth. In 1880 this house possessed
twenty-five casks OF what was theI
known to be at least twenty-five year
old sherry. From that time to thi
they have zealously kept this wine
until from evaporation this quantit,
has been reduced so that it now fill
but five casks, and to-day they exhibi
this wine, whose value might be reck
oned at so much per drop, 10 shoV
what sherry will even tually becom
from age and concentration. Let II,
one hope ever to taste the best O
sherry unless be makes a pilgrimage L
Jerez, and drinks at the monster cas-
'tNapoleon."

ABOUT ARMY HORSES. Es.-A contribute,

hbUUT AhAx hOhSk6.-A cOuUrlDuGOE
to the Independent writes:
I used to admire the horses in t Q
army. Well-trained cavalry horses
would always understand the bugle,
and never make mistakes. The men
were sometimes confused, and would
rein the horses the wrong way. have
seen horses rear straight up rather than
obey the rein against the bugle. Turn
the horses loose without riders, aud at
the sound of the bugle they would
form themselves into line and go
through their parade.
At the battle near Corinth watched
the artillery horses. They came in on
a swift run, drawing a 32-pounder;
and on the instant the signal was given
they wheeled, the piece was unlimber-
ed IN moment, and then, at
another signal, they we're away
ag ain on a run. The gun was in
good position aud did good execution.
But the rebels aanked us, and we were
compelled to leave the gun and fall
back eighty rods. There we reformed
in good order, and with fixed bayonets
charged back upon the rebels, T1ey
were in disorder and fed. We took
the gun again; but knowing that we
could not long hold the ground, our
object was to bring off the gun. So
we opened right and left, and the bu-
gle sounded for the horses. They
came dashing up again on the run till
they reached the gun; they wheeled,
waited moment to be hitched, and
then whirled it away in no time and sav.
ed it. ] stood there, though the bnl
lets we're whizzing around me, and
looked in perfect admiration at those
horses.
Yes, but they obeyed the bugle.-
Their riders could not control them.

FITTH 1VEEUE sFORY.
Divorosd from the Mother and Married
20 the Daughter

81
Husbands aud wives are not necessa-
rily uniaithful to one another because
thew take houses on Fifth avenue.
Nevertheless, circumstances are con-
stantly occurring which seem to prove
that q residence on Fifth avenue pro-
notes an abnormal development in
morals. For instance, In one of the CO.
siest and most exquisite Of the many
little palaces that adorn the famous
thorouehfare, occurred the other day Q
famous eassuts, in which mother, q
daughter and q step-father are con-
cerned. The mother is faded beauty,
but makes up remarkably well, At
night her rouge-twinkles hide her
wrinkles, and bismuth paste effaces the
cruel crow's.feet. She is sharp as steel
trap, and one of the smartest sayers of
naughty things out. She has daugh-
ter, slim brunette, who looks as her
mother may have looked twenty years
ago, and frills her conversation with
scraps from the French phrase books.
Some months ago, the widowed mother
married q foreigner, broker in Broad
way, who has since broken her heart.
The marriage consumated, and all went
as merry as marriage bell, which is
proverbially supposed to vibrate in a
condition of perpetual merriment.
Mother, daughter and step'father
lived together in virtuous joy, in
spite of the Tradition two's COM
pany and three's crowd. The
affection Of step.father and step-daugh-
ter for one another was phenomenon
beautiful to behold. It was "tbing
to see, not to hear" It was, in fact,
like the loves of Byron's Parisina and
the luckless Hugo, with the sexes re-
versed, and the consequence is that
the enraged mother aud wife succeeded
in getting divorce, and the daughter
and husband are living together, and
are received by society as man and
wife. All this is nothing, though. As
long as les dqremens are preserved, 80
ciety is doubtless right in not being toe
particular. Society's conduct on such
occasion is always charming. 1t is the
soft Oedilla that always removes the
harshness from the hard sound
ing moral C's OF social life. =
The strangest thing is that
the wife and mothers heart being bro
ken, she patched 1t up again, goes tC
dinner parties at her daughters and
divorced husbands, and receives them
at dinner parties in return. Think. .oi
lie What delicious compIdisdnce !
What knowledge OF the world ! What
a perfect abandonment to les grdces, le'
coaveniences of life Think of thai
old woman, rouged up to the eye brows,
sitting vis vis to her divorced husband
and her daughter-his wife-and whis-
pering banter and Establishments to
the young men she attracts to her side
and who are ingenious enough to color
at the jokes of woman old enough to
be their mother.

A CONSCIENTIOUS WlDow.-A poor
man, on his death bed, made his will.
He called his wife to him and told her
of his provisions.
II have left" said he, 'my horse to
my parents, sell it and hand over the
money you receive. / leave to you my
dog, take good care Of him, and he
will serve You faithfully"
The wife promised to obey, and in
due time set out to the neighboring
market with the horse and dog.
"How much do you want for your
horse ?" atked farmer.
"I cannot sell the horse alone, but
You may have both OF o reasonable
rate: Give me hundred dollars for
the dog and one dollar for the horse. =
The farmer laughed, but as the terms
were low, he willingly accepted them,
Then the worthy woman gave the hus
bands parents the dollar received for
the horse, and kept the hundred dol
lars for herself.

The Massacre at Honey LAse, Nevada

The Massacre at Honey Lahe, Nevada
(trom the Virginia tSevAdO) Enterprise. April "a
It would seem almost impossible to
arrive at the truth in regard to any
thing of moment happening even few
miles from the city. Since the massa.
ere of the Pierson family by the In
dians, we have had half dozen stories
in regard to the affair. First, that
women and all we're killed; then that
the women we're taken prisoners; and,
again, that both mother and daughter
were most certainly killed, which we
are now satisfied is the truth. We yes.
terday met s. B, Hall, of Honey Lake
Valley, who gave as what We believe to
be true account of the whole affair.
The home of the Persons was at Red
Rock, in Long Valley; but during the
winter they lived at Lower Hot Springs
on account of there being an abund.
ance of pasturage for their stock At
the time they were murdered, they
we're returning to their ranch at Red
Rock, and had not proceeded more
than couple of miles when the In.
disns attacked them. A man named
Cooper was driving team consider
able distance In advance OF that of
Pierson and family when the Indians
fred on him. A boy who was herding
sheep within three hundred yards OF
the road saw Cooper TALL off his wagon
and heard the report Of a gun fred by
the Indians. When he fell, the red
skins, four in number, rushed on him,
when he began firing at them with
his revolver, aud it is thought,
killed one OF them. The boy at once
stripped off all bis clothes but his shirt
and drawers, and ran at the top of his
speed to the house Of one Sharp, about
nine miles distant. It appears that,
seeing the Indians attack Cooper,
Pierson and his wife and daughter
turned back and attempted to reach
the house from which they started, but
were overtaken on the way and bru-
tally murdered by the savage monsters.
1t is thought that Pierson was first
killed, and that his wife and daughter
clung to him until they were in turn
murdered. There were some half
dozen bullets fred into the body of
the husband father, and all their skulls
split open with an axe taken from their
wagon. Cooper's head was cut of, his
heart cut out, and his body covered
with wounds, probably on account Of
his having killed or mortally wounded
one of the Indians. John Sutherland,
who was at frst reported killed, was a
considerable distance ahead of Cooper,
driving Q large herd OF stock, and
neither heard or saw anything OF the
massacre. He arrived safely at his
destination with the stock in his
charge. It is supposed that eight In
dians were concerned in the murder,
as that number had been seen prowiiDg
about the neighborhood. The FIRST to
reach the scene of the massacre was a
small party from Shaffer City, small
settlement not lar from Sharp's ranch.
A number OF small parties of from ten
to fifteen settlers are out securing the
country in search OF the Indians.

FoREloM.
Dr. Hows's Aeeount 81 his Eleesnt Visit
-CondltIoa 0f the crotnns.


Lee 4 Shepard, Of Boston, have pub
lished the recent statement OF DR..
Howe, addressed to the contributors TO
the Cretan fund, In q handsome vol
ume, illustrated by a map showing the
Turkish and the Greek settlements, and
with photograph OF the American In
dustrial School for Cretan refugees In
Athens.
DR.. Howe found that the larger part
Of the Oretan refugees we're children
OF tender age; the rest were women
and few old men. They were living
huddIed together in barracks or other
buildings, twenty, thirty, forty in q
room, sitting or lying upon the floors,
without tables, chairs or beds. In this
sad condition--ragged, hungry and pile,
they anxiously awaited news nom
their husbands, fathers, brothers,
fighting for the homes and the gardens
which they themselves had abandoned,
but fondly hoped to see again. BE
adds that in all this penury, dirt and
suffering the women looked sad, but
patient and resigned; the girls looked
more hopeful, while the children, Of
course, were entirely happy. "But
they all strove to make the best of their
sad condition; and grouping them
selves according to families, each one
arranged some tattered blankets, or
rude utensils, broken crockery aud
scraps of furniture, in some nook or
corner, aud hung upon the wall rude
GROSS or other church emblem, so as to
make q fhint resemblance to their
homes, thus manifesting, in striking
degree, two traits OF Greek character
which have often before mentioned =
family instinct and religious sentiment
the enduring strength of which has
helped to preserve the nationality with
such wonderful purity through the
food of invaslons and age of foreign
domination.
DR.. Howe noted that, in spite OF all
their rags aud squalor, they showed
signs of physical beauty and mental
vivacity which distinguished the Oret
ans among the Greeks who are ac.
kuowledged to be pre.emnent physi-
cally among the various natioualities Of
the East. Fine Skins, delicate features
and limbs, and very large and luStrous
eyes, made them remarkable even in
Greece.
