The visitor, advancing up the gar
den walk, did not wait for an invita-
ton to the kitchen, but came direct
ly to the halfopened door. She was
a small, pretty girl of about twenty
two, with marked air of refinement
in her sweet face and the graceful
carriage of her slighttigure.
Two years before she had driven to
call upon Mrs. ilaughton in her own
carriage, but her fathers sudden
death had revealed the fact that he
was deeply in debt, and had left no
fortune for his only child. Since
that time Bessie had been teaching
in the Seminary at B; but on
the day when Fannie Haughton saw
her from the kitchen window it was
school hours. Her knock was an
swered by a cheerful Come in, Bes

A TRUE BEAR SToRY.-A correspon-
dent in Southern Oregon relates the fol
lowing
A settler, his wife and two sons, liv
ing near Canyonville, Douglas county,
lately went to the neighboring noun
tains on hunting trip. On their way
home, they fell in with two black bears.
One of them was soon brought to grief
the second was badly wounded, but was
still able to climb a tree. The ammuni-
ton was exhausted, the hour was late,
the party exhausted and still number
of miles from home. The wife-Mrs.
Mary Bland--vounteered to stop and
watch the bear while Henry, the hns-
band, would go home for fresh supply
of cartridges. This was agreed to at
once. The lady Immediately kindled a
large fire under the tree where the bear
bad taken refuge; that kept him pris-
oner. At 8 o'clock the two sons, John
and William arrived with arms and am
munition; they kept watch in turn all
night. In the morning master bruin s
account was soon settled. The party
got home safe, having the two bears as
triumph of woman's courage. fore
thought and watchfulness. and the faith
er and sons skill IN the use Of forearms.
Long life to Mr. and Mrs. Bland and
their brave sons

V Washington dispatch states that
the question OF recognizing the inde-
pendence of Cuba will be presented TO
the coming Congress, and urged upon
its attention by ardent friends. A gen
tleman whose relations with the Presl
dent are very intimate, says the Presl-
dent is greatly interested in Cuba, and
will endeavor to ascertain the sentiment
of the the country with reference to the
recognition of its independence. The,
gentleman also affects to know that the
recognition by Congress will be unequiv
ocany urged in the Presidents next mes
sage, Notwithstanding the violent oppo-
sition of General Sickles and Secretary
Fish. 1t is stated that an expedition OF
great strength is fitting out in this coun
try fer the insurgents, and that there is
an unusual activity on ths part of then
friends, and, finally, that there is less
buster and display and more work 60
ing on now than ever before. In addi-
ton, those who believe in solid recog-
milton of the movement will be materl
ally assisted by powerful lobby based
on the old Cuban bonds, which it is sur
missed may be of value if the island be-
comes independent.

A LORD MAYORS WIFE.-In 1853 Sir
William Hewet (cloth- worker) was May
CT, whose income is estimated at 5000
per annum. Hewet lived on London
bridge, and one day nurse playing
with his little daughter Annie, at one OF
the broad lattice windows overlooking
he Thames, by accident let the child
fall. A young apprentice. named Os-
borne. seeing the accident, leaped from
a window into fierce current below the
arches and saved the infant. Years af-
ter, many great courtiers, including the
Earl of Shrewsbury, came courting fair
Mistress Annie, the rich citizens heir
ess. Sir william, her father, said to
one and all, No; Osborne saved her,
and Osborne shall have her," And SO
Osborne did, and became rich citizen
and Lord Mayor in 1888. He is the di-
rect ancestor of the first Duke of Leeds.
There is portrait of the brave appren-
tice at Kiveton House in Yorkshire. He

Two ANEcpoTEs.-Tb are two an
ecdotes of Landseer which I have not
seen reproduced. In one of his early
visits te Scotland he stepped at a vii
lage, and took great deal of notice to
the dogs, jotting down rapid sketches of
them on bit Of paper. Next day, re-
susaiug his journey he was Mortified to
find dogs suspended in all directions
from the trees, crowning in the rivers,
with stones round their nscks. He STOP
ped weeping urchin who was hurry
ing off, with pet pup in his arms, and
learned, to his disElay, that he was sup
posed to be an excise officer who was
taking notes Of all the dogs he saw in
order to prosecute the owners for un
paid taxes; so the people were all anx-
ious to got rid of their dogs. Another
time he went to Portugal, and the King
sent for him to express his admiration.
"Ah, Sir Edwin, said the King, " l am
50 glad to see you; I'm so fond of
beasts"

WE'LL UP IN MrTHoLoeY.-The Erie
Observer is responsible for this: ''In the
early days Of Pithole, the pious oil men
thought 1t necessary to have Sabbath
school. One of ths leading young men
was chosen for SUI erintendent. The
position was new to HIM, but he deter
mined not to shrink from the RESPONSE
bility. Thinking it would be proper
for him to make little opening speech,
he cleared his throat and started in as
follows: Children, you are very for.
tunate in being born in Christian land.
There are thousands in the world not so
fortunate. 1t is peculiarly gratifying
to know that you live in that portion of
the earth where the rocks pours forth
rivers of oil. Now, my dear children,
there's the Mormons, they worship old
Norm; there's the Mohammedans, they
worship old Mahom: the Heathens, they

More Massacres by the Indians.


Reported killing of Thirteen Per.
sons on Medicine Lodge Creek.
ATCHIsoN, KS, April ga correspon-
dent of the Daily Champion, writing from
Arkansas City, Southwestern Kansas, says:
A man named Thompson arrived on the
20sh inst, who states that on the 18th inst.
he was robbed by band of Indians near
Medicine Lodge creek, and his four COM
panions killed. The party consisted of
himself, John and William Mitchell, and
William and James Falkerton. They were
recently from Wagonpin- county, Illinois,
and they arrived at Medicine Lodge creek,
near the south line of the State, on the Sth
inst. They had with them span of horses,
a wagon, camp equipage and about one
thousand dollars in money. On Friday,
the llth inst, Thompson was about quar-
ter of mile from camp, when he saw 800
or 400 Indians surround it. Shortly after
wards he heard firing, and saw the Indians
using tomahawks on his comrades. He
supposes they were. all killed. At the time
of the attack, part of the Indians took him
prisoner and robbed him of all he had, but
finally let him go. He arrived at Caldwell
on the 18th, about noon. While there he
was told that nine others were killed on
Medicine Lodge creek by the Indians abQpt
the same time that his camp was attacked.
Terrific Fire Mt Fort Scott.
Fort SCOTT, Ks, April Pa terrific
fire has broken ont on Market street, in the
central business part of the city. Many
buildings are already in flames, aud it is i'm
possible to tell where the coDfagrstion will
end. Great CONSERVATION prevails, as there
seems to be no way to prevent the destruc.
ton of a large portion of the business part
of the city.
