Acts Of Bravery.

At the end of the storming of Badajoz,
after speaking of the officers, Napier goes
on: Who shall describe the sprlnging
valor of that Portuguese grenadier who
was killed the foremost man at Santa
Maria? or the martial fury of that desper-
ate rlfleman, who. in his resolution to win,
thrust himself beneath the chained sword
blades, and then suffered the enemy to dash
his head to pieces with the end of their
muskets?' Again, at Goa, ga North Of
Ireland man, named Stewart, but jocularly
called the boy because of his age (19)
and of his gigantic stature and strength,
who had fought bravely and displayed great
intelligence beyond the river, was one of
the last men who came down to the bridge,
but he would not pass. Turning round, he
regarded the French with grim look, and
spoke aloud as follows: So this is the end
of our brag. This is our first battle, and
we retleat! The boy Stewart will not live
to hear that said.' Then stridlng forward
in his giant might he fell furiously on his
nearest enemies with the bayonet, refusing
the quarter they seemed deslrous of grant
ing, and died fighting in the midst of
them" "Still more touching, more no
BILE, more heroic was the death of Sergeant
Robert McQuade. During M'Leod's rush,
this man, also from the North of Ireland,
saw two men level their muskets on rests
against high gap in bank, awaiting the
uprise of an enemy. The present Adjutant
| General Brown, then lad of 16, attempted
to ascend at the fatal spot. M'Quade, him
self only "a years of age, pulled him back,
saying, in calm. decided tone: You are
too young, sir, to be killed, and then Of
fering his own person to the fire, fell dead,
| pierced with both balls" And speaking
of the British soldier generally, he says in
his preface: What they were their sue
cessors now are. Witness the wreck of the
BirkenAead, where 400 men, at the call of
their heroic officers, Capts. Wright and
| accepted death in horrible form rather
than endanger the women and children
saved in the boats. The records of the
world furnish no parallel to this self-devo-
tlon." Let us add to these two very re-
| cent examples of which we have all been
reading in the last few months-the poor
golfers who worked Cay and night at Pom
| typridd, with their lives IN their hands, to
rescue their buried comrades; and the gam
bier in st. Louis who went straight from
| gaming table into the fire, to the rescue of
women and children, and died Of the hurts
| after his third return from the fames.-

Ida Lewis and Her Ea:h;onable Sister,

Says the Co~rier-JournaPs Newport let
ter: On my last day I had sail and
fish all alone in the bay, and l improved
the occasion to pay my respects to Miss
Ida Lewis, the heroine who has saved over
dozen lives at sea amid storms before
which the bravest quailed, and where Stout
hearted men did did not dare to venture.
Miss Lewis IS no longer young, and she has
an honest, weather-beaten face, but her
manners are graceful and those of a lady
quiet, natural and unassumlng. She con-
verses easily, and only talks of herself when
questioned. | was sorry to hear from her
that her health was falling her. heard
from other sources that she had married
not long ago, and been disappointed in her
choice. I could not but feel for her great
pity, united to the greatest respect. The
evening before I had seen one of those
silken, unnatural rich women of fashion,
such as they have at Newport, sitting in
her chariot arrayed in her laces, founces,
ribbons and diamonds, with puppy dog
In her fair, taper arms, the object evidently
of her tenderest solicit tude, and, the day
before that, another woman in railroad
car travelling about with cat. And here
was this good, quiet, brave little woman,
living the livelong year off in the rocks,
shut off for most of the year from any
society except her mother, yet eontented
and happy in the practice of duty, keeping
brave watch for the suffering and putting
out in her boat through the raging storm,
periling her own life to save the lives of
those who were utter strangers to her, and
all the while bearing her honors as meekly
as if she had been some simple village
maiden.

Strange Phenomena.

A special to the st. Louis Republican
from Mt. Vernon, Illinois, says: Farmers
and others who arrived in this city yester-
day from that portion of our county called
Elk Prairie, twelve miles distant, reported
as having occurred on the previous evening
one of the most terrific rain and hail storms
ever experienced in the locality named.
1t was in some respects most remarkable
visitation. The storm embraced an area
of only four or five miles. Within that
limit rain fell in torrents flooding the pre-
viously parched fields and roads until the
water rushed about like foaming river.
But the startling and interesting feature
of the event was the enormous size and
quantity Of the hail stones that fell. Old
farmers, who in their time have seen many
strange sights, agree in the opinion that no
such spectacle has ever before been wit
messed in these parts. The size of these
hail stones aid the violence with which
they descended may be imagined from the
numerous birds, chickens, ETC., known to
have been killed. OF the former one man
picked upa dozen in his yard after the
storm had subsided while in the matter of
poultry the loss is reported to be very great.
Brief as was the storm in it's duration, yet
a gentleman of veraeity informs your corr
respondent that the hail lay so thick upon
the ground that it was scooped up by the
buckets full, many Of the stones being as
large as goose eggs, some much larger.
The corn growing within the limits of the
storm was badly damaged.

Desperate Killed.

Last Saturday pardoned convict from
the Idaho penitentiary, named Dowdel,
arrived at Rock Creek Station, of the over
land stage road, ON his way East, and after
imbibing freely of whiskey, commenced
shooting. The first man hit was black
smith, named Spencer, who was skot
through the side. Dowdel then immedi-
ately turned and fired into crowd Of five
persons standing in front of store, mar
rowly missing two of them. One of the
party, young man named Walgamott,
Immediately returned the fire, his shot

Female. s::isty.

You know my opinion of female society.
Without it we should degenerate into
brutes. This observation applies with ten
fold force to young men and those who are
in the prime of manhood. For, after GER
tain time oflife, the literary man may make
a shift Ga poor one grant, to do without
the society of ladies. To. a young man
nothing is SO important as spirit of devo-
tion, next TO his Creator, to some amiable
woman, whose image may occupy his heart
and serve to guard it from pollution, which
besets it on all sides. A man ought to
choose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her
wedding gown, for qualities that swear
well." One thing, at least, is true, that if
matrimony has its cares, celibacy has no
pleasures. A Newton of mere scholar
may find employment in study; man of
literary taste can receive in books power
full auxiliary but man must have boz
som friend and children round him to cher
ish and support the dreariness of old age

A Long Swim.

Last Thursday Walter Schweickhardt,
accompanied by his pointer dog, started
for a hunt in the wilds of Belle Isle. After
a long tramp without much success, and
when near the fish houses and sheet piling
at the upper end of the Island, MIR. S. saw
a yellow-leg ployer, fired at it and brought
it down into the water between the rows OF
piling. The dog went after the game, his
master waiting until he saw that he had
found it. Then, thinking that the dog
would follow, Mr.. Schweickhardt started
for his house on the east side of the island.
From there he crossed the island and the
river to the American shore, rem aimed on
this side two or three hours and returned
to the island to find that the dog had not
yet put in appearance. Very much alarm
ed, Mr.. Schweick ardt walked to the upper
end of the eisland--having been gone nearly
six hours-to find that Capt. Westcott had
but few minutes before rescued the dog,
who, with the plover still in his mouth, had
been swimming around in the pile-inclosed
space unable to get out. When pulled out
of the water by Captain Westcott, the dog
was SO completely exhausted that he fell
full length upon the ground and remained
there in semi-unconscious state for nearly
half an hour.-Detrost Free Press.

AHARD- WORKING EDIToR.-Gossiping
about Cincinnati editors, a correspondent
of the New York Tribune says Mr.. Hal
stead is probably the hardest worker of all
the men who control great newspapers
He writes more editorial matter than any
of his assistants, reads all the important
exchanges, and does his own scissoring, and
seldom goes home nights until he sees the
Commercial put to press. His capacity for
brain-work is wonderful. One day during
the last campaign he wrote the whole edi-
torial page of the paper, paragraphs, lead
ers aid all, with the exception of two short
articles. He never employs a stenographer
but goes through the physical drudgery Of
writing without assistance, drying his pen
over the paper at a tremendous rate. EY-
cry night he takes supper at the same place
and at the same hour. To share this re-
past is a privilege which any journals
would value highly. The editors hard
work is over then, he has only to go back
to the Office, read the late dispatches and
throw off a few of his pungent paragraphs,
SO he is not in a hurry, and usually feels in
genial, talkatiye mood.

American Women Growing Plump.

lEAH
Europeans generally concede that our
American women are handsome, though
they say they are SO fragile that they early
lose their freshness and with it much of
their beauty. They particularly remark
the tendency of our women to grow thin
with years, while We remark the tendency
of their women to the accumulation of flesh
as soon as they have passed their youth, and
often even before that period. While we
must allow that ours are, for the most part,
lacking in roundness, there are few of us,
We imagine, who would not infinitely prefer
the New World sienderness to the Old
World stoatness. a medium between the
two might be the standard Of the becoming,
and this medium we seem to be approach-
ng, slowly perhaps, but steadily.

Simple Cure for Dyspepsia.

Milk and limewater are now frequently
prescribed by physicians in cases of dys-
pepsia and weakness of the stomach, and
IN some cases are said to prove beneficial
Many persons who think good bread and
milk great luxury frequently hesitate to
eaJ it, for the reason that the milk will not
digest readily soreness of the stomach
will often follow. But experience proves
that linewater and milk are not only food
and medicine at an early period of life, but
also at later, when as in infants the
functions of digestion and assimilation
have been seriously impaired. A stomach
taxed by glEttony, lrritated by improper
food, indalned by alcohol, enfeebled by
disease, or otherwise untitled for its duties

attendant upon indigestion, dyspepsia,

four tablespoonfnls of limewater added to
it with good effect. The way to make

of unslaked lime, put the lime in stone

the lime settles, leaving the pure and clear

The army OF unemployed men roaming
about the State is fearful to contemplate,

feature of this business is that many, who

class who look for work and pray God they
may not find it. Large farmers state that
they have employed scores of men who
would only work long enough to earn three
or four dollars, and then quit, without any
regard for circumstances. They do not
care to earn money to purchase food, and
