, light hand. The Seuor's wounls are very
serious.
The wife of the American who had gone
outside to his death was the first to spring to
resist the attack She drew pistol and shot
down the Indian, and throughout the melee
she fought like tiger The assailants were
armed with mdchetes, and slashed right and
left, cutting down a number of persons, be-
sides demolishing the organ and pulpit.
Many in the congregation, however, were
also armed, and they offered a determined
and fierce resistance to their assailants. Alter
the fight had progressed some time, the gar
rison Of the citv, numbering only about
100 soldiers, arrived on the scene, and sue
ceeded in queling the disturbance. They
arrested about fifty Of the attacking mob and
marched them off to prison. The rest OF the
mob escaped.
Besides the two members of the eongrcga-
ton killed at the door, three others were
killed and ten seriously wounded, one OF the
latter dying next day, making six deaths IN
all. The Chief of Police, who with all the
members OF his family, belonged to the con-
gregation, received four wounds. of the as
salants, two were killed outright, and the
Indian who attacked Senor Das died on the
following day from the pistol wound inflicted
by the intrepid Mexican woman whose brave
ry has been already mentioned. \ number
OF them were wounded, but escaped to the
mountains. Ii was afterwards rumorod that
their wounded numbered thirteen, of whom
five died. doubtless from exposure and lack
of care

Young, and to this effect The old poet went
up to London after he was made laureate, in
order to be presented to the queen. Rogers
loaned him his court suit, and he went
through the ceremony without blundering.
When it was over he betook himself to St.
James park, where he saw a strange little
girl who interested him. A happy thought
struck him. He called her to him, took a
little book from his pocket, and, placing ii
in her hands, asked her to be sure and re
member the time and place, the hour and the
ma1, and keep it as memento Of him. 1t
W. a copy of his poems He was aware
that he was not witty, but he labored under
the delusion that once upon a time he said 4
good thing Il was standing, one evening,
he remarked, ''in front of my cottage at Ry-
dal Mount, when a woman WHOM | did not
know came up to me and said, Mr.. Words
worth, have You seen my husbandY My
good woman, | answered, L did not know
you had a husband " The immensity OF the
joke set the table on roar, and the best of
it was the innocent hilarity of the old poet,
who had not the least idea that they were
laughing at him, instead of the lest.-Seri5-

Giant Trees In California. .

1t has been supposed that the Sierra Sc
quotas, or big trees of California, were con
fined to a few small and isolated groves like
those known to tourists By the name Of Cal
ayeras. Tuolumne, Merced, and Mariposa
scattered at considerable intervals along the
western slope Of the mountains for distance
of sixty miles. Ii was known that c0llec-
ton Of big trees larger than any Of those in
the Mariposa and Calaveras regions exists in
Fresno county, where Thomas's mill has for
several years been saving this redwood Of
the Sierra to supply the market of Visalia'
but it was discovered last summer that this
body of big-tree timber is not properly u
grove, but a forest extending for not less than
seventy miles in a northwest and southeast
ward direction, with a width in some places
Of ten miles, and interrupted only by the
deep canOns which cut across the general
| course of the forest, and reduce the level to
an elevation below that at which the tree IS
lodn1 in wild condition, although when
cultivated it thrives in all our valleys.
Diheren! persons have traced the forest
from the basin Of the Tule River, in latitude
Sc de-. 20 minutes, across those of the
kaweah and Kings to that of San Joaquin.
The elevation has not been carefully meas
ured, but is supposed to vary from 1000 10
| G000 feet At one point, and one only, this
forest is accessible by wagon road, and that
IS at Thomas's Mil, forty-eght miles from
Fisalia. Unlike the groves further north,
this forest consists mainly and in some places
ALMOST exclusively of the big trees, and there
are also 4 multitude of small ones in all the
ages Of growth, some Just Sprouting, and
others saplings only two or three feet through.
/ The largest standing tree As yet measured Is
| forty feet in diameter a cEa-red stump-the
tree itself having disappcsred-mcasured for
/ ty-onc feet across. \ tree tweatyi0 four feet
in diameter, four feet above the grolnd, Is
/ precisely the same thickness sixty feet high
/ er. \ fallen trunk Is hollow througolt, and
the hole is large enough To drive horse and
| buggy >eyenty-tw0 feet in il as tdnnel.
This forest Is so extensive, The timber is 50
abundant and excellent in quality, and the
/ demand for it is so great in the ha-e valley
/ al the foot of the mountain. that 1t cannot
| be withheld from the axe and the saw mill.
The wood is similar in general character to
| the coast sequoia, or common redwood,
straight in grain, splitting freely. even
( enough in gram for furniture, and far supe-
/ ri1r % oak in lis keeping qualities IN posi-
/ tion- exposed t. alterations oi moisture
/ The Sierra sequoia does not throw mp sprouts
/ from its stump as does the redwood, and can
/ therefore bc tclled on: more readily. 1t was
/ wise in Congress to make reservation for
/ pleasure purposes Of tAe Mariposa Grove,
/ which Is near Yosemite, small and conyen-

The River.


The gentle fountains OF earth's noblest stream
Are prisoned in the rugged mountain hight
Nc living soul stands by in pensive dream
They drip IN solitude by day and night.
The baiiied waters meet with foe on foe,
The linty rock. the trunk OF fallen tree,
The winters icy breath, dispute their How,
And fight their progress toward the peaceful sss
But as the Father on his throne above
says TO the sinful soul, Repent repent
So all through nature runs this Law Of love,
And all its warning elements relent.
Tho inty rock the fallen oak and pine
say to the water, We dispute no more
and winters heart repeats the law divine
And speeds the waters to the ocean shore.
Lies early days may be all iull OftesTs,
The weary feet can find no rosy path,
Bat God rePents him to these better years.
And days Of love .fiace the days Of wrath.
The hinty rock, the trce across the way.
The chains Of winter, all their warfare cease
The riited clouds pour out food o. day.
And feet once weary ind path OF peace
-Ch4eagO ALLIANCES.
