A woMAN's QUESTION.

Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above
A woman's heart and woman's life
And womans wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
As child might ask for toy,
Demanding what others have died to
win,
With the reckless dash af a boy?
You have written my lesson ofduty out,
Manlike you have questioned me-
Now stand at the bar of my woman s
soul,
Until shall question thee
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be
whole;
require your heart to be true as Gods
stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef,
require a far better thing,
A seamstress you're wanting for stock
iugs and shirts,
,ook for a man and king.
A king for beautiful realm called
home,
And man that the maker, God
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say, at is very good
am fair and .oung, but the rose will
fade
From my soft, young cheek one day
viii you love me then, mid the falling
leaves,
As yon did mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
may launch my all on its tide2
A loving woman finds heaven or hell,
On the day she is made a bride.
Irequire all things that are grand and
true,
All things that man should be;
II you give this ALL would stake my
life
To be all you demand of me.
If you can not be this--a laundress and
cook
You can hire with little pay;
But woman's heart and woman
life
Are not to be won that way.

DYING OF THIRST.
Terrible Death Of a Young
MINI.

Either last Saturday or Sunday four
men, Quigley, Grant, Phillips, and q
colored man, left Calico mountain, where
they had been prospecting, to 60 to
Lookout district, across Panamint valley.
II appears from the report brought
us by j. @. Davidson, who heard pOr-
ton from the survivors OF the party,
and was an eyewitness to the balance
ofthe story, that this party had plenty
Of water on Monday up to noon, about
two and half pints each, but the hot
blowidg winds Of the valley soon caus-
ed them to suffer exceedingly. The col
ored man was the first to succnmb. He
was told by Phillips, who is an old
mountaineer, to lie down and keep quiet,
aud the rest of them would go on to the
water and return for him. The other
three started on, and Grant soon gave
out. Hc was advised by Phillips to go
back where the colorsd man was, and
he did So Phillips said Quigley had
not gone far when the latter said he felt
sick, and could 90 no further. He, too,
was told by Phillips, TO lie down and
he would go for water Quigley's dom
key followed Phillips, who went to Dar-
win cannon, where he obtained water,
but ho was delayed about one hour and
half more than he expected to be.
He Immediately started to return, but on
arriving at the place where he left Quig-
10y he could not find him, although he
hallooed for him number of times.
Thinking be had gone back to where
the other two men were, he kept on.
He found the other two and gave them
water but they b d not seen or heard
anything whatever Of Quigly. All three
then returned to Darwin--it being so
dark they could not trace Quigley--and
reported the mattoI, and endeavcred to
get horses and men to 60 out and search
for the lost man, but they were notsuc.
cessful, no one seeming to care, or else
doubted their story. They themselves
returned and searched several days, but
did not succeed ia finding Quigley. On
last Sunday evening Davidson and VIM.
Henderson were returning from Lookout
district, when, on looking behind
large boulder, above the mouth Of Look
out cannon, they found Quigley's body.
He was almost naked, having on only
pair Of shoes and part of an under
shirt. The place where Quigley was
fonnd was some three miles from water,
and in bis superhuman efforts to reach
water he undoubtedly becnmc deranged
and exhausted, laid himself down and
died. --panamint (Col.) News.

Wise and Otherwise at winchester.
In my last chapter / touched
upon that portion of my school-boy
experience had at Winchester, as
a student in the famous old Aca-
denny there, under John Bruce.
The Winchester Academy, as al
ready stated, was scholastic head
quarters for such sons of the Old
Dominion as aspired to a classical
education. There they gathered
from all parts of the State, to learn
how to translate Caesars Com
mentaries or scan Virgil's Enaid
whether with any actual prepa-
ration, in the way of warlike in
clination or strategetic knowledge,
from the lives of the Roman or the
Grecian heroes, whose exploits
were the burden of the history of
the one or of the song of the other,
whereby they were inspired for
the deeds of daring called for by
our own unfortunate internecine
war, / venture not to say. But
certain it is. that many of my
classmates gave their lives to the
"Lost Cause" The names of some
of those sadly enough arrested my
attention, in 1870, as l strolled
through the Confederate Cemete-
ry in the Eastern suburbs of the
town. Poor fellows fell
bravely supporting their unwisely
but honestly chosen side in the
conflict. And although / suffered
with them as to the questions un-
DERIVING that unfortunate conflict,
my moistened eyes attested my
faith in the sincerity of their mo-
tives and the heroism OF their
bearing, as / read their names on
the head-hoards that mark their
graves. And, now, "ReqtieScdt IN
pace :" can most sincerely add
as leave them to their rest.
At the date in reference 1881 -32)
Winchester town. as the author
of Sheridan's Ride has en-
balmed it i'm immortal verse, was
not only the centre of classical
education for Virginians, but of
legal education as well. There
concentrated the future lawyers of
the Old Dominion, from the high
lands of the West, and the low
lands of the East alike Then

Indian Tradition.

Here is the Yute account Of the
creation:
''In the beginning the earth was
covered with mists. You could not
see before you. The Great Spirit
took his bow and arrows and shot
---shot SO well that he scattered the
mist. The earth became visible to
him, but there were no men upon
1t. Then he took clay, fashioned
man, and sent him 10 bake. Man
came out white the fire had not
been strong enough. The Great
Spirit began his work again, and
this time the man came out quite
black ;--he had remained too long
in the oven. 1t was necessary to
try third time. The experiment
at length succeeded and man came
out done to turn; he was the red
skin, the most perfect OF human
types"

Riding with n Tiger all
Night.

A tramp who was attempting to steal
ride from this city to Ronse's Point on
Friday night, experienced trip which
was we'll calculated to make an impress
siou on his memory that will not soon
be eradcated. It appears that the
splendid pair Of tigers and zebra which
formed part Of tbs hippodrome me-
nagerie, which has spent most of the
summer here, were shipped that night
to New York via Rouses Point. The
tigers were removed from their cage,
placed in temporary boxes and put in
to box car. The door of the car was
left partly open to allow free circula-
ton Of air. The tramp in looking for q
good place to stow himself away, came
across this open car and crawled in.
After the train started the tigers became
uneasy from the rumblipg Of the cars
having remained in a quiet state here
for two months, and tried to get out Of
the boxes. The tigress succeeded, and
as she emerged from her coop the tramp
shrank back into corner and remained
the rest of the trip as rigid as a statue.
The tigress after making an examina-
ton Of the car, In which she even lap
ped the face of the tramp, laid down at
the open door, with her paws hanging
out the rest Of the journey. In the
morning when Herr Lingal came to look
after his pets he discovered the tigress
occupying the same position, and order
ed her back into the box, and she obey
ed He then discovered the tramp who
still occupied his crouching position,
with his cloths wet with sweat, and
speeches. from his all night ride with
the tigers. It was fortunate thug for
the tramp that it was the female that
got out Of the box, for she is as kind
and trac.able as a kitten, while theSmale
would have made tiger meat of him be-
fore reaching the end Of the journey

Why Goldsmith Maid Was
Defeated.

Budd Doble explains the defeat Of
Goldsmith Maid by Lulu as follows:
"One cannot expect horse to last al
ways. The old mare is now in her
nineteenth year, and it is not to be ex-
pected that she could beat horse Of
nearly equal speed and in the prime Of
life. 1t is the fastest race that she ever
trotted. but she has seen the day when
she could have trotted a faster one. She
probably has as much speed in her now
as she ever had, but she cannot keep 1t
up SO long; she cannot finish her heats
as she once could"

DESTRUCTION OF ILLICIT DlsTlLLERIEs.-
A special force of twenty. five mounted men,
with several deputy marshals and collectors and
a u. S. commissioner, under commaud OF MAJ.
Jacob Wagner, from Arlington, III this county,
made an extensive raid on illicit dlstlllera 10
the mountains on The Tennessee and West Flr-
ginia border last week. The p%1lucipal local.
ties visited were NewmaD's Ridge and Black
water Valley, lying just south of PowelIs
mountain and IA miles north OF RJgerviIlc,
Tennessee. The inhabitants there, known by
the local name of 'Malurjlus," are a mixture
of whites. blacks and Indians, were bush
whackers" for plumber during the war, and are
now engaged in Illicit d%istiIling and other law
less pursuits. 1t was supposed they would
fight, as on several former occasions revenue
officers were driven off by them. The force
was armed with Springfield breech- leaders, aud
made a clean sweep, completely destroying SIX
teen distilleries, with contents, large quantities
of mash, beer, low wines aud whiskey. Eight
distillers, armed with carbines, muskets and
rifles, we're surprised at the distillery OF a des;
pcrate character, uamed Mullins, and arrested
before they could use their arms. Recent heavy
rains rendered it necessary for the force to
swim the large streams.
