Fishing Party.


Oh Saturday last, number of Ia.
dies and gentlemen started for Platte
River, on fishing excursion. After
seeing that their baskets were well
filed with the choicest refresh.
mcnis they all were ready and start.
cd al $3.50 A. NJ. for the river. Some OF
the party were little in advance
and arrived at the One -humdred-and-
two bridge, where they stopped and
began rambling through the woods.
lIitching their horses they all started
Tor spring some quarter of mile
from the bridge, where they qucnched
their thirst in its sparkling, tritkling
stream which was wondrous to be-
hold. After refreshing themselves
thcy rcturued-to their hrggics aud
were soon joined by the remainder OF
the party, when they again resumed
their journey for the appointed place.
After a drive of q couple hours they
drove into Rochester, where they
watcrcd their horses and again start.
cd for the fishing grounds which was
selected near the pasture of Mr.. Mill
cr. After attending to setting some
hooks, the ladies began the prcpcra-
tions For dinner and in few minutes
dinner was announced, the dinner
was one not often found on the lone
ly river banks, but on the dining ta-
bles of some elegant city hotel and all
partook quite freely. Dinner being
cleared away II portion of the crowd
departed for the lake, where they
spent some hours in fishing and boat
riding. After satisfying their desire in
that sport, they all in company with
the two Misses Ford retired to the
residence Of Hon. y. Ford, where
they were entertained by Mr. Ford's
daughters, Misses Anna ard Maggie,
who by their lady-likc treatment and
fine performance on the piano, added
much to their delight and pleasure.
The party was composed of the fol-
lowing ladies aud gentlemen:
Mrs. j. G.. Waterman, Mrs. DR.. w.
II. Bryant, Mr.. ]. c. Smith and lady,
Miss Sallic Waterman, Rose Water
man, Emma Morris, Jennie Morris,
and Mcssrs. ID. Jones, Arthur Bryant,
David Bryant, and some children.
After the arrival of the cxtursionists
their number was increased by two
of Rochcstcr's handsome and accom-
plishcd daughters Misses Maggie and
Anna Ford. The river being so high
OF account of recent rains rendered it
impossible 10 make it n successful
day for fishing, but the convcnicucies
that are necessary for such an occa-
sion are found there and gives Rocll-
cstcra fair warning that another such
day is anticipated. w.

Mrs. Ely, wife of VIM. Ely, living a
few miles west of Savannah, heard q
fuss going on among her chickens
Sunday night; thought she would
put her hand into the coop and learn
the cause. She called for q light as
she thought there was something that
did not belong there. They saw
something shining, put q stick in TO
STIR it up little. when out came a
black snake five or six feet long. The
snake had killed three chickens, swal.
lowed one without taking time to
pick it, and no doubt would have soon
finished the others. AS the hen had
lost eight or ten within last few days,
the manner of thcir "taking OFF, is
now explained.

as is eyinced by their liberal provisions
for schools and teachers.
There is one historical fact in our his
tory to which few counties Of the agc
and population of Andrew can success
fully lay claim. While we have always
maintained u name for good order aud
melting cut justice promptly to offenders
against the law within our borders, we
have happily never been called upon TO
intict the death penalty upon o single
individual during the entire history of
the county. Our sheriff has never had
occasion to build scaffold.
TO conclude, the iuture prospect for
Andrew county is reasonably bright and
encouraging. Our citizens have but to
be true TO themselves. to make the most
of the facilities and advantages which
the God OF nature has placed In their
hands, and the road to prosperity will
be readily found and steadily travelled.
Trusting and believing that such is their
purpose and determination, the ccnl-

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 a mere train band. Every
Frenchman who is not positively crippled
or invaded now belongs to the active
army for five years between the ages of
20 and 80; not all serve this length of
by lot being furloughed after six months
service; another class in pursuit of lib
eral education get off by volunteering
for one year, passing Oh examination in
their studies aad paying Communication
Of $500. Then there are the "reserv-
ists," so called, the older men, who are
supposed to have graduated from the
active army. Once in two years the
reservists meet, and drill for fortnight.
They have just been under drill, the
men being called out in the same order
as if the present organization had been
III force for some years. Nine corps OF
90 600 men each have thus been under
drnl, many of them veterans of the last
wa, but strangers to the new arm (the
f3SxYt grass which has been adopted since
they were in the field. A third 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 as helligerents, 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.

Saved by a PRAYER.

At the time of my visit to Baxter,
Ark, a court of Judge Lynch was in full
session, just outside the town. The cul-
prit, young IAN of 81, was proven
guilty of horse stealing. The jury
the mob-sentenced him to be hanged
forthwith. The rope was procured, and
he was mounted on the rear of wagon
under the branches of black oak.
Everything was ready for his death,
when philanthropic man of benign ap-
pearance-he was a stranger IN that com
munity II 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, tllmbled the praying
man over, and 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 sanguine court were
taken by surprise, and before they re-
covered the horse thieves had good
start. There was mounting of steeds in
hot haste, profanity and pistol shots in
profusion. The outlaws had the fieetest
horses and escaped. The jury dispersed
sadly to their homes, intending to make
surer work of the next culprit. Read

thought then. No, I would pe off as
I proposed and with this determine
tor / began deliberately to dress and
pack my knapsaek, for sleep was gone
for that night. Only one doubt per-
picked me. Should [ leave the ladder
standing where it was, and let the hotel
authorities think what they like, or (for
otherwise it would only lead to inquiries
and difficulties should / fling it into the
river after the man. Right Or wrong,
with very little hesitation I adopted the
latter course.
Not sign of life was visible as (
looked once more out upon the broad
river and as | gently raised the ladder
and consigned it to its depths, I thought
it was not the FIRST secret by good
many that its impetuous current had
carried away into oblivion.
An hour or two later had quietly
paid my bill at the bureau, and was on
my way to Paris, and by the following
night was once more in my chambers
in the Temple.

Interesting to Ladies'.

If you are 'brunette," avoid neu-
trail tints, and wear only positive colors;
but do not tire your friends with ever
lasting scarlet, under the idea that moth
ing else becomes you. A "blonde," in
the bloom of youth, may wear grays
and browns; but If on the shady side of
forty, she should. like her "brunette :"
sister, adopt only positive colors, as
washy, weak coloring is only becoming
to extreme youth and fairness. The
new deep reds are very pretty, and so
are the green's, and may be used for
bonnets in shades with great advantage.
My own belief is that person is born q
milliner, just as one IS born artist or mu-
sician; for the reason that lghtness and
delicacy of touch are SO absolutely nee
essary to success. What is commonly
called good workman is generally the
worst possible hand to set at making a
bonnet; for good sewing is quite unnec-
essary, and every stitch must be put in
with a sort of inspiration and fore
knowledge of exactly how 1t wall look
when done. Good taste is q quality
very needful, too; though careful obser-
vation may, in measure, supply the
want of it. indeed, to my intending
milliner I would say, "Walk down Re
gent street, if you live in town, on the
first fine day, and study carefully the
models exposed for sale in the shop
windows" Even tyro is in this way
enabled to judge of the style and colors
in fashion, ana, if determined to try and
manufacture homemade bonnet, will
choose what she is capable of accom-
plishing, without spelling too much
material, or completely running herself
in the cost of what she spoils. Casseu's

Commodore Ammen and the Mutineers.

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 a mutiny. At
the close Of the war Ammen was the
Captain of Pacific mail steamer. He
had shipped as part of his crew lot
of soldiers, men who had been sailors
before the WAY, bat had served since
that time IN the army. They were
reckless. bad lot. Almost before the
steamer had left New York it was evi-
dent that there was going to be trouble.
These sailors Haunted at the grub fur
nished them, and said they must have
as good as the cabin passengers. One
day the affair eliminated bv this gang
forming and coming aft. When they
entered the saloon they were headed by
two desperadoes who had melted the
nutiny. 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 mutineers, and, without Civ
ing them an opportunity to say a word,
took out his watch and said: "Now.
men, / want you to go right back to the
fokesel I will give you one minute to
CO." Ammen has the appearance of a
benevolent old deacon who would weep
with pain at the necessity of killing a
fly. His voice was as soft as if his
mouth was ]ined with plush velvet, and
as sweet as q maiden's whisper when
Adolphus first encircles her timid waist.
When he said simply to his men, " Now
I want you to go right back to the foke-
sci, the leaders grinned. This mutiny
was to succeed too easily. So, during
the minute they scoffsd at the old man.
At precisely sixty seconds after the *
piration of Ammen's remark ne raised o
pistol and shot one of the ringleaders
dead. "Will you go back to the foke.
sel?" said Ammen to the second ring
leader, pleasantly. The man hesitated;
flash report and he, too, fell dead.
The deadly, persistent blandness of
Ammen's composure droveterror through
the ranks of the mutineers. They went
forward, and there was never any more
trouble. This prompt action alone saved
very rich ship and large number Of
passengers from plumber, outrage, and
murder

ration was first manufactured in 1888.
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
