A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

A young man ran away from the
galIeys of Toulouse. He was strong
and vigorous, and arrived next
morning before cottage, and stop
ped to get something to eat, and get
refuge while he reposed a little
But he found the inmates of the cot
tage in the greatest distress. -Four
little children sat trembling in the
coraer-their mother sat weeping
and tearing her hair, and the father
was walking the floor in agony.
The galley-s slave asked what was
the matter, and the father replied
that they were that morning to be
turned out of doors, because they
could not pay their rent.
"You see me driven to despair, ,
said the father, "my wife and my
little children without food or shell
ter, and | without means to provide
for them"
The convict listened to the tale,
with tears of sympathy, and said:
~ will give you the means. |
have just escaped from the galleys.
Whosoever brings back an escaped
prisoner is entitled to a reward of
fifty francs. How much does the
rent amount to Z"
"F.rty francs" answered the
father.
"WeIl," said the other, ''put a
cord around my body. | will follow
you to the city, where you will get
fifty francs for bringing me back"
ono, never y exclaimed the faith
err. "My children should starve be-
fore would do so base a thing"
The generous man insisted, and
declared that he would SO and give
himself up if the father would not
take him the latter yielded, and
taking his preserver by the arm, led
him to the city, and to the Mayors
office.
Everybody was surprised to see
that little man had been able tc
capture such a strong young fellow
The fifty francs were paid, and the
prisoner sent back TO the galleys
But after he was gone, the father
asked private interview with the
Mayor, to whom he told the whole
story. The Mayor was so much at
fected, that he not only added francs
to the fathers purse, but wrote inn
mediately to the Minister Of Justice,
begging the noble young prisoners
release. The Minister examined ia
to the affair, and finding it was a
comparatively small sfsHse which
had csndsmnsd the young nan to
the galleys, and that he had already
served out half his term, ordered his
release.

YOUNG AMERICA.

There is nothing more pleasant to
behold than bright-eyed, WELL
behaved boy, who thinks Of some-
thing besides bis own boisterous fun
and rude forwardness who pays
some respect to years, aud does not
crowd himself where he has not
been asked and is not wanted.
Many such are not. They enjoy
everything that is gay and boyish,
and when among those who are old
er show their excellence of manner
by giving preference TO, age They
had rather serve than be served.
They never dream of aping the style
of the street rowdy who is always
striving to get up a cheap reputation
for bravery-mostly by misrepre'
senting the few words which pass
between himself and others. Such
youths are types of true gentlemen
distinguished by courtesy and cor
rect feeling. They catch with en-
thusiasm at everything that is ex-
ulting and happy, have their own
boisterouS fun and jollity, but hardly
ever dream they are men. The OPP
posites are the nuisances of life. All
over the world can be found the true
varieties. Some of the choicest lit
tic gentlemen we have ever seen
have been among those who were
compelled to toll hard for their daily
bread.

ST. Louis, June 29.--The Den
YER Tribune Of a late day says, edi-
torially that various correspondents
Of that paper in southern Colorado
and New Mexico state that extensive
and combined depredations are seri-
ously apprehended in the sparsely
settled parts of those territories. The
Kiaskss, Arrapahoes, Cheyennes,
Comanches, Navajoes and Apaches
have held frequent councils during
the past winter, at which it was the
endeavor to dissipate all trivial pre-.
iudices and effect combination for
a general Indian war.
The recent murders and robberies
in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas,
and ether places are referred to as
to the intentions of Indians, but
whether a complete combintion has
been effected is not known.
IHc IlDQHG SbsttCe AH3b AShRNh
from prominent United States of
fetal, dated Fort Sill, June II, says
the warriors of the Apaches, Chey-
snnes and Arrapahoes are organizing
estensibly for an attack on the Utes
of Colorado, but the writer thinks
that a raid an the frontier is really
their object, any he says the govern
ment authorities are doing all they
can to break up the movement.
New YORK, June 29.--The COM
mittee of the Peace Jubilee, from
Boston, arrived here to day, to wait
upon Horace Greeley and extend an
invitation from the international Ju-
biIee Executive Committee and city
of Boston to visit that city. The
committee have received assurances
from Mr.. Greeley that he will ac-
cept the invitation, and he will, this
evening, designate an early day next
week for his visit.

A FIGHT WITH AN ANACONDA

A few days ago Mr.. Hart, of De-
troit having rented the building on
the northwest corner of Woodward
avenue and Woodbridge ST., vent ia
ta tAe cellar for tbs purpose of clear
ing out a mass Of rubbish that had
accunlated there daring several
months, while the premises had been
unoccupied. As he reached the foot
ofthe stairs with shovel in his hands
the first object he encountered was a
monster anaconda, coiled and evil
IDENTIFY just prepared for an assault
Harris instructive purpose was to
bolt and leave his snakeship menarch
sfthe cellar, but fearing that he nigAt
not be able to effect a successful re-
treat, he boldly stoed his ground.
Using the shovel as a weapon, he met
the snakes onslaught in a plucky
manner, and soon succeeded in van
gushing his foe by few blows with
the edge of his handy weapon. The
python was subsequently found to
measure little over twelve feet sin
length and rix inches in diameter in
thickest part. Its presence there is
explained by the fact that last fall the
building was occupied several weeks
by a side-show, and that the propri-
toL, thinking his anaconda dead,
threw it into the cellar. 1t turned
out, however, that it was only torpid,
and came out in the spring as live
ly as a cricket and fierce enough to
attack anything psIstabls, from a
rabbit to an elephant.

Il GROWL FROM THE LION.


The British Minister Takes up the Case
OF DR.. Bratton, Whose Sureties arc
Immediately Released by tho United
States Government.
WASHINGTON, November 8.
The British minister has called the attention
of the secretary of State to the case of DR..
Rufus Bratton, citizen Of South Carolina,
who was torcIbly abducted from Canada last
spring, by an American detective named
Hester, assisted by Canadian officer named
Cromwell. Cromwell, 1t will be remembered,
was recently sentenced to three years. i'm.
prIsonment for this act; tho principal witness
being DR.. Bratton. 1t was not supposed that
any further mention would be made In this
case, but 1t appears that Eratton was released
by the United States authorities on bail, and
not returning to South Carolina, the securities
were Informed that the hail bond would be
forfeited If Bratton did not return. He there
upoR appealed to the British Government for
protection. The British minister, under in
structlons from the Home Government, re-
minds the Secretary OF State that her Majesty's
Government does not tolerate Interference
with her laws, and that the proceedings against
Bratton, having followed his abduction from
British territory, must be cancelled. The
Attorney General has therefore Instructed
U. 8. District Attorney Farrow (Corbin y at
Charleston to dismiss the bail bond and dis
charge the suretIes of Iratton, and to place
the proceedings against him, as far as practi-
cable, In the same position as before bis forci-
BILE abduction from Canada. '.'..,' ~ 5'-
