Saved by a Prayer.

At the time of my visit to Baxter,
Ark, II court of Judge Lynch was in full
session, Just outside the town. The cul-
prit, young ran of 27, was proven
guilty of DEMONSTRATING. The jury
the mob--sentenced him to be hanged
forthwith. The rope WIS procured, and
be was mounted on the rear of a wagon
under the branches OF black oak.
Everything was ready for his death,
when a phi,anthropic man Of benign APP
peasance-he was stranger in that COM
munity - requested to pray in secret
with The prisoner. A vote was taken,
and he was allowed ten minutes TO work
on the soul of the doomed man. It was
the most fortunate grant the young man
ever received. When in the midst of
an earnest supplication to the Throne of
Grace, three OF the prisoners comrades
entered the crowd, trmbied the praying
mail over, aud gave the young man two
loaded revolvers. The four desperadoes
broke for horses held by anoth of their
party, which they mounted and rode off,
firing into the crowd. So quick were
the movements of the desperadoes that
the members Of the sangnine court were
taken by surprise, and before they re-
covered the horse thieves had q good
stsrt. There WAS mounting Of steeds in
hot haste, profanity and pistol shots in
profusion. The outlaws had the fleetest
horses and escaped. The jury dispersed
sadly to their homes, intending to make
surer work of the next culprit. Read

A story told OF Commodore Ammen, |
of the navy, the inventor of the steam |
ram, illustrates how important is unhes-
itating action in case of mutiny. At |
the close of the war Ammen was the |
Captain OF u Pacific mail steamer. He
had shipped as part of his crew lot
of soldiers, men who hei been sailors
before the war, bat had served since
that time in the army. They were a
reckless, bad lot. Almost before the
steamer had left New York it was evil
dent that there was going 10 be trouble.
These sailors Haunted at the grub fur
nisAed them, and said they must have
ss good as the cabin passengers. One
day the affair culn-ipated by this gang
forming and coming aft. When they
cnt red the saloon they were headed by
two desperadoes who had melted the
mutiny At their appearance several
army officers On board volunteered their
services TO Ammen. He thanked them
mildly, but said he would not need their
help. He walked forward languidly
toward the mutineeis, aud, without Civ
ing them an opportunity to say q word,
took out his watch and said: NOW,
men, / want you to go right back to the
fokesel L will give you one minute to
CO." Ammen has tine appearance OF q
benevolent old deac On who would weep
with pain az the necessity OF killing
fly. His voice was as sofs % If his
mouth was lined with plush velvet, and
"a sweet as n maiden's whisper when
Asolphus first encircles her timid waist.
When he said simply to his men, " Now
want You to go right back to the foke-
sell" the leaders grinned. This mutiny
was TO succeed too easily. So, during
the minute they scoffed ut the old man.
At precisely sixty seconds after the ex-
piration of Ammen's remark ne raised a
pistol and shot one of the ringleaders
dead. "Will you go back to tho foke'
sci "A" said Ammen to the second ring
leader, pleasantly. The man hesitated;
a fash report and he, too, fell dead.
The deadly, persistent blandness of
Ammen's composure droveterro through
the ranks of the mutineers. They went
forward, aud there was never any more
trouble. This prompt action alone saved
a very rich ship and large number of
passengers from plumber, outrage, and
murder.

Will France Fight!

France, the destruction Of whose i'm
perial army was hailed as the promise OF
disarmament, is now organizing an army
by the side of which Napoleon's fimsy
battalions were mere train-band. Every
Frenchman who ia not positively crippled
or invaded now belongs to the active
army for five years between the ages of
20 and 20; not all serve this length of
time, certain proportion who are drawn
by lot being furloughed after six months
service; another class In pursuit of lib
eral education get of by Volunteering
for one Year, passing an examination In
their studies and paying a communication
Of $500. Then there are the "reserv-
ists," SO called, the older men, who are
supposed to have graduated from the
sctive army. Once III two years the
reservists meet, aud drill for a fortnight.
They have just been under drill, the
men being called out in the same order
az If the present organization had been
in force for some years. Nine corps of
90 900 men each have thus been under
Drill, many OF them veterans of the last
wa, but strangers to the new arm (the
Jussl grdS) which has been adopted since
they were in the field. A thlrd grand
division is the territorial army" or
men from 81 to 40 years Of age, who are
only to be called out in defense Of the
district in which they are enrolled. The
whole male population are given legal
status rs belligerents, in order TO pro-
tect them from any OF those scruples
which led the Germans, it is said, to
shoot citizens in defense OF their homes
because they were irregulars. But,
practically, every man from 20 to 40
years OF age is part of the army.

MERCHANTS Gargling Oil has won for

MERCHANTS Gargling Oil has won for
itself a worldwide reputation as hni-
ment useful in rheumatism, sprains,
bruises, burns, scalds, etc. This prepa-
ration was first manufactured in 1893.
and since then has steadily grown into
the favor and confidence of the people.
The long term Of years during which it
has constantly been brought to the notice
of the public, together with its immense
sale, give evidence of an inherent value
which cannot be doubted. An objection
to its use--that of staining the skin
has been entirely removed, so that it now
leaves no stain whatever. Although
called "Family Oil" and prepared In
tentionally for human flesh, it answers as
we'll for beasts ; and will be found one of
the best remedies for all purposes, where
a liniment is required, that has ever been
manufactured--" The Druggist" Ne,o

The East river bridge piers are wholly
built of granite. Each contains over
900, 900 cubic feet, and weighs over
"a, 600 tons. The base of the pier covers
1900 square feet, and it is estimated
that the total weight OF the bridge
proper, when loaded with pedestrians,
railway trains, carriages, and horses,
will be about 1000 tons. The pressure
upward from the base of the pier will
be only little over four tons per square

THELAw IN THE CASE.
The Times Columbia dispatch says
the Court has adjourned until Friday
to hear the argument for and against
the new mandamns prayed for by the
Democratic council in reference to the
returns for Presidential Electors. In
the meantime the Board OF Canvassers,
who held their session at the other enc
of the Capitol, had taken action which
will greatly simplify if it does not rem
der unnecessary any further proceed
ings before the Court ia reference to
their powers and duties. The law of

the Board, and always acted on here
tofore. REQUIRES the Board to complete
their work as State COnvassers within
ten days from the time they COM
mence their sessions, Sundays except

There is difference of opinion among
lawyers as to the true Interpretation OF
the statutes, but at all events there is
no law and has been no order OF the
court requiring them to set longer than

ed to sit. The Board therefore COM
pleted its work and adjourned sine die
at the expiration OF that time, and is
no longer in existence. The Board
gives as reason for their adjournment
Sine die, First, that the statute as they
interpret it, requires them to do so.
Second. that if they had done it, the
Democrats might hereafter claim that
they had no power to issue certificates,
because the time for them to do 1t had
expired; in other words it was done to
prevent the possibility of the Demo-
crats getting any advantage hereafter
on pretense that the Board had not
complied with the law.
