with q glass from the land. When Jem
saw this he clapped his glass together,
ran to the station, got two of his men
to join him, and they began following
the boat along the cliffs as hard as they
could go. Well, sir, it is the very
n~astiest coast you ever saw, high cliffs,
and valleys between, and it was up one
hill and down another, and up another,
until when the boat turned into q sandy
bay, about seven miles from the sta
ton, Jem and his mates had hardly
strength enough left to gU down and
meet it. However, by taking u couple
of minutes breathing time, they did
just manage TO get down to the beach
as the boats keel touched the sand.
When the men saw them they made an
attempt TO back her off, but Jem had
hold of her, and they found it was no
go. Jem felt we'll rewarded for all he
had gone through when he found three
nice little brandy-tubs lying at the bot.
tom of the boat. So he takes all four
men into custody, and nicely they
grumbled and growled over their i'll
luck, and cursed Jem's sharp eyes and
so n The next thing was to get them
all to the station, but when Jem pro-
posed that they should bear Il hand with
the tubs, devil bit would they. "No,"
says they, chang it all, they're your
property now, and we haven't nothing
more to do with them" So at last,
Jem having made them give him their
words that they wouldn't run away
and little use it would have been, for
they was all well known to him-he
and his two mates were obliged to hoist
the tubs upon their shoulders and carry
them to the station themselves. The
tubs held about six gallons apiece, and
were no light weight to carry seven
miles on a binding not summers after
noon.
"Well, sir, Jem says he doesn't know
to this day how he got over them seven
miles, but at last, dead beat, they did
just manage to crawl up TO the station
and get those blessed tubs OIL their
shoulders at last. 1t was only the
thought of the share that would be com.

vented them from breaking down alto

1t turned out excellent quality, but not
so strong as they hoped, for all three
tubs was full up to the bung with salt

had carried these fine samples of old

cliffs.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. II. Taylor, who brought the news
of Custer's defeat to Fort Ellis, travel
ed the most direct route. On the Big
Horn he discovered forty Sioux driving
a herd of about 100 buffalo up the
valley, and, not wishing to have trouble
with them, made q detour for a high
bluff, and the first thing he knew, tchtE
went an arrow near his person, when,
looking in an opposite direction from
the Indians with the buffalo, he saw an
Indian about sixty yards from him, de-
l~iberately drawing oil him for a shot,
and still beyond, several other Indians.
He then made q dash for the river,
plunged into ie, swan ittwice on horse
back, the Indians in hot pursuit and
shooting, when he discovered a high
rock, perpendicular on all sides and in
accessible except at one place, which a
man, well armed like he was, could de-
fend against a good many Indians.
Abandoning his horse, he Immediately
assembled and took possession of the
rock, which afforded him protection
against the Indians, who spent the rest
of the day in shooting at him and try
ing to catch his horse, but failed. AT
sunset they left, when he came down
from his covert on the rock, easily caught
his horse (Which is a goodone), mount

and day, arriving at Fort Ellis on the

More Trouble in the TiltOn
Family.

A special telegram from New York
says an unpleasant controversy is
threatened between Mr.. and Mrs. Til
ton concerning the guardianship of
their son Ralph. Mrs. Tilton has re-
fused persistently to receive any pecu-
mary assistance from her husband, al
though he is willing to aid her. Mr..
Tilton, after his recent lecture tour,
sent $1,000 to Mrs. Tilton. Adhering,
however, to her resolution, she would
not use any of the money, but put it in
the bank to the credit of her children,
along with $1,000 more Tilton sent
800 especially for the boy Ralph. Mrs.
Tilton put it in the bank without say
ing any thing about it tothe boy. When
Theodore learned what his wife had
done he expressed anger-not so much
at her refusal to profit personally by
his labors, as at the fact that she did
not acquaint Ralph with the pecuniary
evidence of his fathers regard for him.
He, a few days ago, induced the child
to visit him, when, putting him into a
carriage, he drove over to New Jersey,
where he insisted upon keeping him.
Mrs. Tilton had no intimation of her
husbands intention until she found her.
self deprived of her child, when she be-
came almost iantic with grief. Under
the law of New Jersey the father is the
recognised guardian of the boy after he
reaches the age of seven,
and Ralph reached that age
a few days ago. In this State no
such doctrine is entertained, both
parents being looked upon with equal
favor. Mr.. Tilton now says that Ralph
desires to remain where he is, at Ocean
Grove, N. j., with his sister, while the
friends of Mrs. Tilton and the boy Car
roll, whoi is 10 years of age, who lives
with his mother, say that Ralph wants
to return to Brooklyn. Mr.. Tilton and
his wife were supposed to have COM
promised on the children by agreeing
that he should have the three girls and
she the two boys. Upon this agreement
the movements of the children have
been ordered for more than a year past.
1t is still hoped, however, that the ques-
ton will be settled without any resort
to law.
The Rev. DIR. Burlington of Clinton Av-
enue Congregational Church, Brooklyn,
is accused by A. S. Barnes of having
violated his privileges as a pastor, and
his duties as a gentleman. Mrs. Frank
Moulton was attacked in an anonymous
letter in the Boston COngregationalist,
and Mr.. Moulton, thinking Mrs. Barnes
wrote it, persuaded DIR. Burlington &c
take him TO Mr.. Barnes's house, wher
he knew that gentleman was absent
Mrs, Barnes, who did not write the let
ter, told her husband of the visit, who
called on the visitors and upbraidet
them. Mr.. Barnes, it is said, compelled
DIR, Burlington to go with him to Moul
tons house for this purpose.

The BObO1ink's Song.

/ have noticed hat the bobolink does
not sing the same in different localities.
In New Jersey it has one song; on the
Hudson a slight variation of the same,
and on the high grass lands of the in.
terror Of the State, quite o different
strain-clearer, more distinctly articu.
lated, and running off with more sparkle
and liltingness. 1t reminds n of the
clearer mountain air and the translu-
cent spring-water of those localities.
never could make out what the bobo-
link says in New Jersey, but in certain
districts in this State his enunciation Is
quite distinct. Sometimes he begins
with the word Gegue, gegue. Then,
again, more fully, be true TO me, C1arsy,
be true TO me, C2arsy, Ciarsy, thence
full tilt into his inimitable song, inter.
spcrsed in which the words kick your
slipper, kich your slipper, and temper.
dnce, temperance (the last with a pc
culiar nasal re%sonance), are plain
ly heard. At its best, it is a
remarkable performance, a unique
performance, as it contains not the
slightest hint or suggestion, either in
tone, or manner, OF effect, of any other
bird-song to be heard. The bobolink
has no mate or parallel in any part of
the world. lie stands alone. There is
no closely allied species. He is not a
lark, 0 a finch, nor a warbler, nor a
thrush, nor II startling. He is an excep-
ton to many well known rules. He is
the only ground-bird known to me q
marked and conspicuous plumage. He
is the only black-and-white bird we
have, and, what is still more odd, he is
black beneath and white above-the
reverse of the fact in all other cases.
Pre-eminently a bird of the meadow
during the breeding season, and asso-
ciated with clover, and daisies, and
butter-cups, as no other bird is, he yet
has the look of an interloper or q new
born.
The bobolink has an unusually full
throat, which may help account for his
great power of song. No bird has yet
been found that could initiate him or
even repeat or suggest Il single note, as
if his song were the product of a new
set of organs. There is a vibration
about it and a rapid running over the
keys that is the despair of other song
sters. 1t is said that the mocking.bird
is dumb in the presence of the bobolink.
My neighbor has an English sky-lark
that was Matched and reared in captivi-
ty. The bird is Il most persistent and
vocifcrous songster, and fully as success
full mimic as the mocking-bird. Itpours
out Il strain that is a regular mosaic
of nearly all the bird-notes to be heard,
its own proper lark.song forming a
kind of bordering for the whole. The
notes of the phGbe-bird, the purple
finch, the swallow, the yellow-bird, the
king-bird, the robin and Others, are
rendered with perfect distinctness and
accuracy, but not a word of the bobo-
links, though the lark must have heard
its song every day for four successive
summers. 1t was the one conspicuous
note in the fields around that the lark
made no attempt to plagiarize. He
could not steal the bobolink's thunder.

Appetite Is necessity. Without It, sum-
cient food Is not received INTO the stomach
either TO nourish the system or TO give the
stimulus to the bowels which they require.
Both these organs and the liver become tor
pid in consequence, and the blood grows poor
In quality and quantity. Improve the appe-
tite, therefore, and avoid such results. This
is most efiectually done with Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters, a tonic appetizer and al.
~terativc without q peer. 1t gives not only
an unwonted zest Tor food, but enables the
stomach to digest and the system TO assim.

BLA1NEs BLASTED PRospEcTs.- "A
letter from Philadelphia to the New
York Tribune says:
"From the comments of the press of
the State aud the talk of republican
politicians, it would seem beyond guess
ton that Mr.. Blaine has in single day
lost his hold upon Pennsylvania. 1t
was his main reliance for success in his
presidential ambition, aud a week ago
lie had good reason for counting with
absolute certainty upon Its vote in the
national convention. Now there is not
a prominent candidate, with the single
exception of Senator Morton, who has
not better prospect of obtaining rs
powerful support. Pennsylvania, the
politicians say, has no use for man
who insists upon dragging in the skele'
ton of the rebellion at the centennial
festival of peace and good will about
to be held within her borders. The
lack of craftsmanship in the ex Speaks
cr's speech is remarked on all hands.
but what surprises his old friends here
the most is his Sudden blindness to
popular sentiment His friends here
are greatly chagrlned, and cannot
understand how they could have 90
misjudged the man heretofore. As far
as Pennsylvania is concerned Mr.
Blaine's name must be stricken from
the roll Of presidential candidates
