A certain young gentleman Of our
town, and one whom we esteem very
highly, wanted to accompany young
lady from church home one night not
long since, and being a little too ner-
vous to ask her permission, sent n
friend to ask for him. Said friend
asked for himself his company was ac
crpted, and he armed the young lady
and walked of, leaving our nervous
young friend biting his finger nails.

RAMBLINGs OF RoUsTABOUT.
Rocky BAR, June 9th.

The Masonic celebration was well
attended last Monday at this place.
The grafton was delivered by Capt.
Baxter, and was an able and eloquent
effort. The ball at Newcomers was
a brilliant and most pleasant affair;
twenty-five ladies and fifty gentlemen
present. / ,cannot name all the beau
tiful and elegantly attired ladies pres
eli, nor describe their toilets, but
there was a gay 'throng, and enough
of them to keep the floor of the large
hall filled from 8 P NJ till o'clock in
THE morning. Prof. Chapman, assist
eddy Clifford Ford and Miss Laura
Ford, discoursed most delicious strains
of music, to which merry feet kept
time. Fred Epstein and others did
tthe,ealling.
Rocky Bar has been decidedly gay
flor the past three days, notwithstand-
ing the rumors of war that comes
hUwn from the North.
News came to town yesterday even
ing that the Indians of Camas Prairie
had ordered the whites On Smoky
creek to leave, and that some Of them
had done so; but the report is not full
ly credited.

possession of forty stand of Spring

There is an effort being made to raise
another company to be placed under

doubtful about its success. The peo-

One very curious thing connected
with the SerVian military bands is the
manner in which nearly ali regiments
carry the big drum. Instead, as in
other armies, of being slung in front
of the man who plays it, this .instru-
ment IS placed upon small two
wheeled cart, drawn by "a large dog,
the latter being so trained that he
keeps misplace in the band, even
Through the longest amarches. The
drummer walks behind the cart and
performs on the instrument as he goes

SrRENGrH OF G1BRALrAR.-Gibraltar,

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR
for more than one hundred years, has
been in a condition to defy any at
tack from any quarter. 1t is mass
of solid gray marble, connected with
the southern extremity of Spanish
Andalusia by q narrow peDdnsula,
which is entirely commanded b. the
fortress. The rock, at its highest
point, a;439 feet above the level of the
sea, is completely honeycombed with
batteries, bomb-proof and every spe-
cies of defensive continuance. Can
non of the largest calibre frown along
its face, steep e carps bar all paths up
the almost perpendicular ascent, i'm
mense cisterns and magazines furnish
abundant supplies of water and am
munition, and there is always -suffi-
cient stock of provisions to last three
years. The ordinary garrison con-
sists of about 5000 infantry, LEGO ar
tillery and a picked corps of engi-
neers; and in case of emergency there
are accommodations for double this
force. The last and most memorable
siege Gibraltar has endured begun in
June, 1779, and ended in February,
1888. The combined armies and fleets
Of France and Spain pounded the i'm
walls in vain for three
years and eight months, and then
gave up the hopeless task. The Brit
sh lost 1873 killed, 596 from diseases,
Is from desertion, and the wounded
numbered zoos. The casualties on
he other side are not knewn. Since
hen there has been no attempt to rob
england of her priceless possession;
possession, by the way, of which
he robbed Spain. The present |
of Gibraltar means that
England does not intend to be caught |
and that the government
oes not know how soon this match
ess citadel may be needed as a base
f active operations IN the Mediterra-
can and the further east. Louis
IIV. threatened to turn the tideless
