How the Rulers Dine.

Marshal MacMahon is frugal and
never makes any observations on
what is set before him. He is not a
great drinker, but very fond of fruit.
Queen Victoria is not great eater,
she likes beef and pastry.
The Emperor OF Russia is fond OF
game. lie drinks plenty of Burgun-
dy ana champagne
The Emperor OF Germany drinks
anything he can get-Marcobrunner
Lieofrauenmllch and Rocderer. He
is simple hearted and merry guest.
He likes beef and sweet dishes.
The Emperor of Austria is a seri.
Gus eater. He prefers beet and NUT
ton to poultry. He drinks Hungarian
wines and Bordeaux.
Victor Emanuel has strong appe-
lite; loves small birds; does not touch
the boars he kills. Burgundy is his
wine.
The King of the Netherlands is a
splendid eater. Give him anything
and salmon, with good old wine. His
cellars are the finest in Europe.
The King OF Belgium has stom-
ach no bigger than sparrow's. Can
not eat much; larks will do and old
Burgundy.
The ex-King of Hanover likes
pheasants, grouse and smoked ham,
Rhenish wines and Moselle.
The King of Portugal is miser-
able guest; eats little, drinks less.
Alphonse XII. has a brave stom-
ach. Plenty of poultry, veal, desert
and claret.
Our American Potentate, Hayes, is
very fond of-crow.

Our Consul at Odessa. the great
wheat port of Russia on the Black
Sea, thinks Russia offers a good field
for American agricultural implements
and observes that they must be made
Exceedingly firm and strong" We
presume our Consul knows what se
is talking about, but Mr.. Mackenzie
Wallace describes an instructive ex-
perience of Russian gentleman who
attempted these new-fangled notions
on his country estate. British plows
and other tools and machines arrived
by the carload, and were duly set up
in the fields, but the peasants stared
at them and the small Russian horses
could hardly wiggle them. They
were made for blowing deeper than
the Russian farmer and ex.serf ever
thought for. We presume these tools
were very sfirm and strong" though
the proprietor discovered that, when
a portion of his moving machine
broke, the nearest black smith shop
capable of repairing it was some hun
dreds of miles away. We refer to
this matter merely to show that
American commercial agents must
know something of the real needs,
moral and material, of the commun-
tiles whom they expect to supply
with our manufactures, and of their
real capacities. Another observation
somewhat 10 the same line is volun-
teered by man from South Amer
lea, whose comment on the proposal
to open an American shoe trade in
Brazil is, that the mass of the people
do not wear shoes, while the wealthy
and aristocratic classes get theirs in
Europe, where the fashions are sup
posed to originate. -Sprinqfeld Re.

| Presenting his gun he comma i'd
ed John to surrender or be shot; but
the lad preferred to die by bullet
rather than a tomahawk, and so
stood his ground. Strangely enough
the Indian did not shoot; but after
looking across the sights of his gun
and making fearful faces be placed
the weapon behind tree and re-
sorted to the dodge of parlaying
once more.
'IDjun hungry-good boy go
home get Injun bread
But John did not think it best to
start for home on such an invitation.
The next effort was to kill the lad
by throwing his tomahawk at him
between the trees; but be miscalcu-
lated the space and struck tho wea-
pom against log. breaking out the
handle, which falling at Johns feet
was Immediately picked up by him
as means of defense.
One of the savage's devices, by
which perhaps he meant to fright
en- bis victim, was to place his hid,
eous face at the opening between
the logs, and howl and gnash at him
like wolf.
But the boys courage had rallied,
and he began to pelt his enemy with
stones and Jumps of earth obtained
from the upturned SOIL giving him
many q singing hit. This so mad.
dened the Indian, that be drew his
scalping knife and gave chase for a
long time thinking to tire the young
ster out by constant lodging. But
in this plan he was mistaken, for a
resolute hard working, frontier boy
has vast fund of endurance. Once
the cleaning knife, thrust between
the logs after him, came near doing
its bloody work; but Johns grit was
aroused, and he struck the brutal
hand heavy blow with the toma-
hawk handle.
But the many turns and tides,
tricks and lodges, of that fearful
struggle can never be related. There
are some scenes too tragical for
words; besides, the particulars are
covered under the drifts of forget
fitness ever heaping above the past.
Of course, during all that terrible
afternoon Johns thoughts and eyes
were constantly turning in the di>
rection of his home. He knew that
his father would seek him before
night, and as the hours wore on he
began to look with great anxiety for
his coming. He had the common
faith of all children in parents and
they would not leave him to perish.
At length he got glimpse of a
form coming up the path. O how
his heart bounded With renewed
force he began again to hurl at his
foe every thing he could seize, rails
ing such cOmmotion as to attract
his fathers attention, who compre-
bending the whole scene mt a glance,
stole up within gunshot of the un-
suspecting red man.
The sequel is soon told The
crack of the settlers rifle signaled
the Indians fate.
The warriors weapons and trink
cts were taken as trophies: the gun
having a bullet but no powder in its
chamber, could not be fired, thus ex
planning why he had not shot the lad
when he threatened to do so.
These thropies are still treasured
by the grandchildren of our hero who
are justly proud of such an exploit.
In these early times American boys
were trained in school that devel.
oped a rugged and noble manhood.
