1t happened in this way:
The Englishman, in the course Of his
business, found it necessary to obtain an
advance on some merchandise. He made
the usual arrangement with large COM
mercial house to accommodate him. On
going to consummate 1t and receive the
cash, he was good deal surprised when,
In lieu of it, the senior member rendered
to him the acceptance Of the firm, payable
at ninety days date. ''What am j to do
with thisr' he inquired. "Take It to b.
b. 81 Co." (naming some well-known
bankers), was the reply. "They will give
you the money at the legal rate.' The
Englishman did as directed. He met with
no difficulty; The paper was acceptable,
and although our hero did not touch the
cash, he received check for the proper
amount ON a neighboring bank. Thither
he repaired in the full confidence of having
something tangible. He was mistaken.
The individual at the bank to whom he
presented the check for payment seized it

ner scrawled some hier0glyphics ON its
face, and thrust il back into the hands of Its
astonished owner, motioning him at the
same time to stand aside for the next
conner. The check had been duly "certi-
fed" That was what the scrawl across
its face meant. In state of suspense and
anxiety the Englishman betook himself to
the person TO whom he was indebted, and
timidly exhibited what he had to offer. To
his surprise his friends countenance bright
ened. "Many thanks!' he exclaimed.
" BY the way, this amount Is too large /;
there will be something over a hundred
dollars coming to you" and he proceeded
to fill check for it. The Englishinan
groaned in spirit. 1t was only another

An Interesting Discovery.

An interesting discovery, which may
prove to be of considerable importance In
its practical applications, has lately been
made by Horrath, who announces that, In
the course ofexperiments on the effect OF
cold on frogs, he has ascertained that the
immersion Of the finger in alcohol at a
temperature of 25o r. produces no pain,
but that contact with solid body under
such circumstances Is distinctly apprecia-
ted. Hence he concludes that tactile per-
ception remains, though the sensation OF
cold is not experienced. Still further,
Horrath found that In the case Of wounds
and burns, il the part affected be immersed
in alcohol the pain Immediately ceases,
and the subsequent progress Of cure is
greatly accelerated. II, therefore, the ex-
cessive and continuous pain which usually
accompanies excessive burns be one cause
ofdeath. IL IL suggested that life may often
be saved by the alleviation Of the pain re-
sulting from the application of glycerine
or alcohol, and that possibly tetanus may
also be prevented. The intense pain pro-
duced by immersing the hand in cold
water Is well known, while In ether and
quicksilver it Is still more intense.

MY FRIEND JACK TEMPLE.
BY JOHN EsrEN COOKE.


My friend Jack Temple was so poor and
proud that wonder how he ever came to
fall in love with Miss Annie Heath, who
was much the greatest heiress in the neigh
borhood, and the house inhabited by Miss
Annie crowned lofty hill just opposite
the small cottage of my friend. The
worldly fortunes of the two personages
were indeed shown by their mansions.
Annie's was what is called ''palatial," !" and
made an imposing show with its broad
front and extensive wings rising grandly
from the c1umps Of century oaks in the
midst of its large park. Jacks was little
hunting lodge, half concealed by flower
ing vines, with small grass-plat; indeed
the farm attached to it was not much larg-
er than the grass-plat. Both were or
phans, and had become acquainted with
each other year before by accident, this
accident resulting in love on Jacks part
and Indifference on the part of the young
lady.
Having firmly resolved in his mind that
he would never, under any circumstances,
subject himself to the charge of paying
his addresses with mercenary views to an
heiress, Jack Temple one morning pro
ceeded to do what young men in love are
IN the habit Of doing-he went to see hi:
lar neighbor. This was matter of small
difficulty. He went down the hill or

A small white hand covered his mouth.
"Hush !" said Annie i'm low, awe

the dead!''

q / am going tomorrow came to see
you here again-to touch this wood which
your hand rested on!'
Annie Heath did not speak. She was
blushing, and looking at him as she never
had done before.
"Where are you going?'
"TO Arizona-and shall never see you
again."
"Why do you go?"
These words were whispered nearly
not spoken aloud.
because l love you, and cannot live
here without you."
The girls face became the color Of a
peony; she tried to smile.
" You want me very much then ?"
Il want you more than want life."
"Then-why not-that is-why do you
60 away!'
She leaned over him with all the long
pent up tenderness of her heart in her eyes,
with her fragrant breath upon his cheek,
with her bosom heaving.
80 You might stay and take care of me
at Oakhill," she whispered.
1t was so low as hardly to be called a
whisper-resembling rather the murmur
of the wind in the leayes-and moment
afterwards Jack Temple was holding An
ME Heath close to his heart.
Solomon Heath, Esq, had directed IL
his will that in the event of the death o
his niece Augusta Wesley, unmarried, ol
if married, without issue, the Oakhil
property should revert to his niece, Ami,
Heath.
She had come to take possession again
and not only found her old home un
changed but-Jack Temple. Being ricl
again her whole heart went to him, ant
three months afterwards her hand wen
with it.

How Indians Escape Their Pursuers

During the early part of the flight every
precautiOn is adopted to prevent leaving n
heavy trail, or one easily followed; to this
end, instead of moving, rs is customary,
in single file, thereby leaving clearly de-
fined path, each warrior moves independ-
emily of his felloxs, until all danger from
pursuit is safely passed, when the party falls
into single file, and. with the chief at the
head, moves along in almost unbroken
silence. If during an attack upon the from
tier settlements the Indians should encoun-
ter unexpected and successful resistance,
necessitating premature withdrawal and
flight on their part, they shll resort to STRAIT
agem, i'm order to secure their safety. In
accordance with a plan previously formed
and understood by each one of the party,
and specially provided for an emergency,
the war party finding themselves about to
encounter successful resistance on the part
of the frontiersmen beat hasty retreat !;
but instead of taking their flight in sim
gle direction and in one party, thereby
leaving an unmistakable clue for their pur-
suers, the entire party breaks up into nu-
merous smaller bands, each apparently
fleeing in an independent direction. few
of the best mounted usually falling behind
to attract the attention of the pursuers and
give time to those of the party who are
burdened with prisoners and captured
stock to make good their escape. In such
an emergency as this, rendezvous for
the entire party has been previously
fixed upon. Its location is usually upon
or near some water-course or promi-
nent landmark, distant perhaps thirty or
forty miles; thither all smaller parties
direct their course, each by a separate and
usually circuitous course. Should either
of these smaller parties find themselves
closely pursued, or their trail being fol-
lowed and all efforts to throw the pursuers
off prove unayailing, they relinquish the
plan of uniting with the others at the es-
tablished rendezvous, as that would inn
peril the safety of their comrades, and select
a new route leading neither in the direc-
ton of the rendezvous nor of the village,
i'm order not only to elude but 10 mislead
their pursuers. Then ensues long and
tiresome flight, until, having worn out or
outwitted their pursuers, Of whose move
ments they keep themselves thoroughly
informed, they make their way I'm safety to
the village. At the latter, lookouts are
constantly kept on some prominent bill to
watch the coming of the absent warriors
and give notice of their approach. A war
party returning from successful raid into
the settlements, and bringing with them
