MUsCArINs has finally concluded to settle
and pay up its Railroad Bonded indebted,
ness and finds tn amount of judgements. to
be met are $l65, 509.9l.
The papers that have been raising such .
hue and cry about it. advising the people
to make no terms of peace, pay no tax, but
fight it out by law and by force, can nov
see how foolish they have been. how unwise
and unjust to their city. However, since the
settlement, the scales have all of sudden
dropped from their eyes, and they find that
their taxes are not so high by mills as
they were last rear-that there is no
earthly trouble about meeting their obliga
tions. Of course there i. not; and never
has been except as it was made up IN bun
cumbe, to evsde honest debts.

struck out vigorously for the shore; but
the current seized him and bore him still
further down. And on it foated in pur-
suit his wounded, but not disabled enemy
-tlercer and more savage from its injury.
and displaying now those vast energies
hidden under its cumbrous, mail clad car
cass. Thrice, when on the very eve Of
being seized and crushed between those
mighty jaws which snapped vainly to-
gether like the huge proticullous of some
ieudal castle, did the Syrian narrowly
escape destruction by suddenly diving
down. And thrice did he stab with his
Keen poIgnard into the unprotected flesh of
his foe, under his forearm while deeper
grew the tinge of the waters, as the great
vital energies of the amphium still sus
tanned 1t under the deep wounds of its
desperate whose human in
tellect, when backed by courage, was
destined TO conquer bru;e force-eyen in
a conflict apparently as unequal as this
tor, alter the third pilnge, the huge, scaIy
bulk seemed TO float almost helplessly
upon The water, with the life tide rapidly
ebblng from the ghastly wounds, and the
dim eye shone no more with hate, but
had an almost human expressin of agony
and despair lurking in It's iiImy and glar-
ing orbs. The crocodile was well nigh
struggling in It's death throes and the
mighty frame seemed contracted and CON
vulsed with the near approach of the final
spasm. The man was no where to be
seen. just then, painting, worn, exhaus>
ted, but still unwouEded, Daoud, the dag
ger in bis right hand, rose to the surface,
but unhappily within yard of the almost
Vanqulshed monster. The scaly thing
saw him, and with a mighty effort of
expiring energy, struck out wildly with
his powerful tail. 1t fell like fail on
the head of the Syrian, stretching him
senseless and powerless beside his enemy.
The next moment the dying crocodile
twisted his body around, opened his
mighty jaw with final and convuIsive
etlort-and, when they closed again,
within was the wriihing body of the Sy~
rian, caught as III some huge trap, which
crushed bone, rauscle, sinew aud flesh
into one indistinguishable mass And
locked tight IN the death spasm, those
jaws never unclosed again. But the
scaly bulk of the crocodile, bearing in its
dead jaws the corpse of its destroyer,
fioated down the current of the Nile, under
the still moonlight, TO the open sea, which
was to retain the relicts of both until the
hour shall come when that sea shall give
up its dead.-:Eayotian Sketches.
