Boone's party soon found the trail,
and followed it rapidly, fearing that the
girls might grow weary and be put to
death. All Sunday night and all Mon
day the pursuit was kept up. On Tues
day morning a slender column of smoke
was seen in the distance, and the ex-
perienced eye of the hunter at once
detected the camp of the Indians. A
serious difficulty now presented itself.
How were the captives to be rescued
without giving the captors time to kill
them? There was but little time for
reflection, as the Indians must quickly
discover their presence. The white
men were sure shots, and so they picked
their men, fred upon them, and then
rushed into the camp to the rescue. At
the moment of the attack the girls were
sitting at the foot of tree; Betsy with
red bandanna handkerchief thrown
over her head, while the heads of Fanny
and Jemima were reclining in her lap.
Betsy's olive complexion came near
serving her a bad turn at this juncture,
for one of the rescuing party coming
suddenly upon her mistook her for an
Indian, and was about to knock her
brains out with the butt of his rife

rTis easy tc trace the soul to the hour
That deprfves the form of its breath;
But who shall follow the spirits Hight,

Who follow the spirits upward flight,

Beyond where the stars now shine;
Where the angels sing their songs of praise
To the Spirit Of God divine?
Can life be the end OF all our hopes?

Where the soul lives evermore?
Does the soul exist when life has flown,

Still continues its upward flight.
Let us think that the soul can never die
That its mission will never end;
That there is a land beyond the sky,

From its troubles, wounds and scars,
The soul will worship the God of Light

A Charity Bull-Fight.

They have curious ideas of things
over there in Spain. When we in this
country propose to benefit a charitable
object, we undertake theatrical enter
tainments, strawberry soirees, rural
advertisements, or something of that
sort. In Spain they advertise a bull
fight, as was the case recently, when it
was desired to give some pecuniary
assistance to society having the care
of widows aud orphans. According to
the accounts, eight bulls, twelve hSrses,
md two men were slaughtered for the
delectation of Charge and apprecia-
tive" audience, as we'll as for sweet
charity's sake. 1t is related that the

then picked up and thrown skyward
again. 1t was the poor fellows corpse
that struck the earth the second time.
A picador had two legs broken and

DID NOT Know HIS Own BRAINs.-A
ridiculous incident in connection with
the advent of independence day was
witnessed on lower Broadway yesterday
afternoon. AS a Mr.. Henry Remsen
was passing fruit store he fell victim
to most singular coincidence. A boy
had lighted a large fire-cracker on the
sidewalk, which exploded with loud
report Just as our friend passed it. The
same instant some one threw out a rot
ten banana, which struck him in the
back of the head, the juice running
down his neck. He instantly screamed,
"My God, I'm shot, I'm shot," and
raising his hand he caught handful of
the rot, which he showed to a man who
ran to his aid as specimen of his brains.
The police, who heard the report and
the cries, hurried to the scene, followed
by a crowd of men and boys that in
creased at every step. A careful exami-
nation by doctor satisfied our hero
that he was still in the land of the liv.
ing and that banana was not BRAINS

Queen VIctOrIa's Gift to an American
Lady.

Queen Victoria has presented to Mrs.
DR.. Samuel Tredwell, of Mineola, l.. l.,
a half length portrait of herself en-
closed in a bronze frame, with bronze
doors finely wrought, bearing the
words: "In recognition of the gift by
Mrs Tredwell of an old family letter
dated 1774, in which is a most interest
ing description of the children of
George I'LL, written by their governess,
Miss Planta." Mrs. TredwelI, who is
the widow of DR.. Tredwell, of Mineola,
who died in 1873, found among her
husbands papers a letter written from
Philadelphia in 1774 by Mrs. Mary
Campbell to her daughter, Mrs. Rebec-
ca Frazer, in which Mrs. Campbell
copied letter from Miss Planta, who
was then governess in the family of
King George I'LL, describing the royal
children under her care. The letter
begins, "My Dear Rebecca know
you love the king" 1t contains a
simple personal description of the six
boys and three girls in King Georges
family, all of them being praised for
beauty and princely gifts. Mrs Tired
well sent the letter to the queen last
fall, and this spring received a reply,
dated Buckingham Palace, returning
thanks for the letter, and advising her
of the present of the framed photo
graph, which was sent through the

Heavy Robbery.

BoUGHMAN, THOMAS & Co.'S sTcRE
ROBBED OF $500 WORTH OF FINE
ARTICLES.
Some time last night, or early this
morning, the book and stationery store
of Boughman, Thomas 81 Co., No. 42l
Market street, was entered and robbed
of about $500 worth of fine articles.
The burglars effected an entrance by
coming up the Shipley street alley, and
entering the yard in the rear of the
store, where they forced open the eel
lar doors and entered tie cellar. They
then proceeded up the cellar steps to u
Goor opening into small wash room
adjoining the back office.
This door was fastened at the top
and bottom by two bolts. BY standing
on box and boring three or four
holes ith an augur, pannel was
broken sufficiently to permit hand to
reach in and draw the bolt. The low
er bolt was forced, and then an en-.
trance was obtained to the store.
The robbers evidently worked sys-
Dramatically, as they took the most
valuable articles, and those most rea.
dily carried away. The gold pen case
was completely emptied, the loss ia
this department alone reaching S700.
About dozen fine opera glasses, a
number of splendid pocket knives,
several silver card cases, three silver
Centennial medals and two satchels
lin which the other stolen articles were
probably stowed) completed the booty
which was stolen from the store. A
very valuable umbrella, the personal

Messrs. Boughman, Thomas s. Co., by
this bold roboery, will reach $500,
A coat belonging to Mr.. Boughman,
was found lying across a chair, with
five pairs of opera glasses in one of the
pockets. The robbers evidently in
TENDED to carry the coat away with
them, but forgot it in theirahasty de-
lparture.
The silver Centennial medals were
taken from case near the front win
ldow, but strange to say, none OF the
lgold medals were taken. The cases
which contained the silver medals,
together with two auger bits, and a
liquid of tobacco were found in the
upper front window, this morning. An
augur (about lnch) was found in the
cellar.
The robbery was no doubt committed
last night or this morning, as a visit
to the store yesterday morning, by one
of the clerks, disclosed nothing out of
the way. 1t was shrewdly conceived
: and boldly executed, and, excepting
the brace and bits, the burglars left
: not the slightest clue behind them.
The police, however, are already at
work, aud the bold burglars will prob
ably be arrested in time to receive
justice at the approaching session OF
