Another Eyangeline.

THE story of Evangeline is repeated
with wonderful fidelity, in all its details,
in the experience of young French girl,
a resident of Marseilles. She was engaged
to sailor, to whom she was to be married
on his return from a voyage to New York.
He did not return, and after year she
got berth as stewardess' assistant on one
of the Havre steamers, to come here in
search of him. On the passage, q rich
American lady became interested in her
story, and resolved to help her to find out
her lover. In New York she learned that
he had gone to Canada. For months she
travelled about the Dominion, sometimes
close on his track, and again losing every
clue as to his whereabouts. She returned
to New York, and one day, while stand
ing at Broadway crossing waiting her
turn to get across, she saw the object of
her long search on the other side. She
shrieked his name and ran into the mid
die of the street, but policeman caught
her and saved her from the wheels of the
string of vehicles. "Angel of God there
was nOne," and she never again saw the
Gabriel she had so long sought and SO
nearly found. She learned then that he
had sailed for San Francisco, and she
went overland to California to meet him.
Arrived on the Pacific Coast, she found
that her lover had fallen overheard Just
outside the Heads and been drowned.
Meanwhile, the body of young man
dressed in sailors clothes was cast ashore
on the beach, carried to the Coroner's
Office, and, not being identified, was in
tered in the public cemetery. A water
sodden pocket book was taken from the
dead man, which contained only few
letters written in French, unaddrcssed.
The girl, hearing of this, went 10 the Cor
oner's office and found that the letters
were hers. The waves had tardily and
partially recompepsed her devoted search,
and she was able to find the grave of heI
lOyer.-N. Y. World.

the broad belt of mountains between the
great basin of the Atlantic Ocean, the
river desceDds about thirty falls and fu-
rious rapids, TO the great river between
the Falls of Yellala and the Atlantic.
Stanley's losses, during the long and
terrible journey across the continent from
Nyangwe, have been very severe. The con-
tinu0us fighting in the forests and on the
river reduced the strength of the expedi-
ton daily, until it became question
whether any of its members would ever
reach the coast.
Stanley states in his dispatch: My
grief ia still new over the loss of my last
white assistant, the brave and piOus young
Englishman, Francis Pocock, who was
swept over the Falls of the Massassa on
the Sd of last June" He adds: my faith
tul companion Kululu is also among the
lost" On the same day that POcock was
lost, Stanley, with seven men, were al
most drawn into the whirlpOOls of the
Nova Falls, and six weeks later himself,
with the entire crew of the Lady Alice,
were swept over the furious Falls of Mbe-
10, whence, only by a miracle, they es-
capped. The explorer writes: 81 make
the expedition from Bona by steamer to
Calinda, and proceed thence to st. Paul
de Leanda. Mr.. Price, of the firm of
Hatton & Cookson, of Liverpool, takes my
letter to you csa Angola"

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

ON the farm, when things are hurrying,
everyone should keep few copper rivets
of various lengths with bur to match, with
which bride, halter, or nearly any part
OF the harness can be Mended in . few
minutes. 1t needs punch and o riveting
hammer. State Register.
HORSES are likely to injure themselves
against wire fences, which they cannots see.
The fence question is a serious one, the cost
OF stone walls being great and the waste
of timber in wood fences being something
that every farmer must regard with alarm.
Hedges secrete vermin of all kinds. What
is to be done IN. Y. Herald.
TOMATO PREsERvEs.-Parea and quarter
good, ripe tomatoes; place them in por-
celain kettle with little water, SO they
will not burn. They require to be cooked
until the juice is nearly all out; then add
one pound of white suagar to each pound
of fruit. Cook slowly one-half hour.
To Cook Eco PLANr.-Select of nice
ripe elephants u sufficient quantity; cut
off the ends; cut transverseiy, in slices
one inch thick; cook without grease or
any other thing whatsoever, on a hot
griddle or frying-pan; when cooked
through and nicely Drowned, dress with
butter and salt, and serve hot, piping
hot.
BUG POIsON.-Take one pint of turpen-
tine, one pint of alcohol and one ounce
gum camphOr; dissolve the camphor in
the alcohol, and then add the turpentine,
shaking we'll before using; use large size
sewing machine Oiler to put it on with !;
fill every crack and crevice with it before
taking the bedstead apart, and it will re-
move both the vermin and their eggs

EGGs COOKED IN ITALIAN STYLE
Moisten two spOonfuls of flour with four
ounces of butter, in saucepan, stirring
constantly. When of the consistency OF
thick butter, thin with little boiling
milk and season with pepper and salt.
Add three ounces more of butter and a
little chopped parsley, worked we'll to-
gether. Have ready eight hard boiled
eggs, sliced, and add them to the sauce and
serve hot.
ScALLOPED TOMATOEs.-Peel ripe tOma-
toes and slice-nOt too thin; put layer
in the bottom of buttered pudding dish
sprinkle well with fine bread crumbs, pep.
per, salt, little sugar, and few bits of
butter; add anotherjayer of tomatoes, then
the crumbs, etc., as before. Fill the dish
almost full and season the top layer of
tomatoes; put bread crumbs over all and
bake for an hour. Cover the dish fol-
halt the time; then remove the cover and

Indian Game OF 6 Lacrosse

The only game, save the savage pleas
ures OF the war and the chase, which the
white man found the red men of North
America enjoying when he landed on
these shores, was the Indian ball game
known among the Five Nations by name
which had nearly as many consonants az
there were players, s. Tekontshikwaheks,"
and among other tribes by the more mel
lifluous appellation Baggataway." The
sport commended itself to the Indians by
its simplicity of aim and its wild rush and
excitement. They found in it the divine
fury of combat, and its trial of endurance
and muscle gave it zest and importance
which no mere trial of skill, no quieter
sport could command. The early trav-
elers among the Indians say that the utter
wildness and fury of play in the original
game surpasses anything ever before or
since recorded of any field sport. In its
exercise the grave and taciturn red man be-
came as noisy and hilarious as an Irish
man at Donnybrook Fair. Certainly no
other game of the kind has 80 tragic
story as is connected with this, for
it is associated with one of the saddest
episodes of our colonial history, that
massacre of the British garrison at Fort
Mackinaw which was the first fruits of
the Conspiracy of Pontiac. On the 4th of
June, 1868, the Ojibywas assembled in
large numbers before the fort and invited
the garrison to witness the game of bag
gateway" The gates were thrown open
and the officers and men l0unged about to
see the sport. The Indians under pre-
tense of driving the ball through the goal
next the gate gathered their whole force
of warriors under the walls of the fort,
and at given signal rushed in and MUIR
dered every man in the garrison. This
deed of blood has given " Lacrosse" q
place in history which happily no other
field sport possesses.
The capabilities Of the game were early
seen and appreciated by the white settlers
in Canada, and they quickly seized upon
it for their own. 1t continually grew in
favor, and eighteen yeas ago, ON tie first
Dominion Day." it was formally
adopted as the National game OF the Do
mini0n of Canada. Civilization has made
strange work with it, and now it differs
materially from the wild sport of the war
riors of the Five Nations. From rough
pastime 1t has become . regular and
even scientific game, though it yet re-
talnS many OF the characteristics which
brought it into 90 great favor with the
red men. With change Of manner has
come change of name. The hook like
stick used in tossing the ball reminded
the French settlers of the pastoral crook,
the Bishops crozier, and SO they called
the sport e jeM de "a crosse, the game Of the
crozier. By the English-speaking people
this title has been shortened to Lacrosse,
the name which the sport now bears
Portland (ke.) Aress.

THE BRAVE INTENT.

Two wEDDED Larks were safely hid
Below the waving wheat,
Where in the summertime they made
Their nest, with grasses sweet.
ana from the eggs the mother warmed,
Beneath her dOwny breast,
oMt peeped brood Of pretty birds,
To make their parents blest.
Built in the furrow Of pillow,
The nest was well concealed
And all around this happy home
Stretched out the golden field.
One dewy morn the fathers wing
Was soaring to the sky,
AS With his strcng-voiced notes he held
His jubilee on high.
The gentle mother heard his song,
And knew love filled his breast;
But in her heart were anxious thoughts
As she sat near the nest.
My little darlings." then she said,
tcharye you listen well
To all the farmer says to-day.
That you each word may tell.
The sittering scythe will reap the wheat,
Which bends with golden weight,
And lift touch my pretty brood,
Twou!d leave me desOlate!'
The faithful mother sought for food
In fields both far and near
Oft wondering. rs she homeward flew.
What news would greet her ear.
Five little thrOats were opened wide.
To give the instant warning
That all the neiqhbors had been called
To reap the field that morning.
My hearts relieved" the mother said;
surely need not fear.
For neigabors will not cut the grain
And We may linser here.
. Listen again. the old bird said,
A. from the nest she flew.
:" And tell ME what the farmer says
Tomorrow he will do"
At night the flutterihg wings expressed
Great terror and alarm.
" We heard" they eaid. the master S friends
Invited to the farm
The mother Lark was peaceful stiil;
Her little ones she fed.
Aud many time she whispered soft:
= His friends do not dread.''
Once more returned from errands sweet,
The Lark inquired the news.
= He'll reap his field himself. he says,
And not Il wheat ear lose.''
Make haste! make haste!" the mother cried,
Stretch out your tiny wings;
The brave intent to work himself
No disappointment brings.
e. The farmer work will now be done;
lie trusts no more his friends.
And surely he's the wisest man
Who on himself depends"

molestation, but this safetywas purchased
by much suffering. Cut off fiom supplies
in the middle of the great river, starva-
ton threatened. Extreme hunger was
endured, three days being passed by the
party without food. This state of things
could not be longer endured, so Stanley
resolved to meet his fate on the mainland
rather than by hunger on the river. He
turned to the left bank of the Lualaba,
and, with the singular good fortune that
has generally attended him, reached the
village Of tribe acquainted with trade.
These people had four muskets, which
they had Obtained from the West Coast.
They repr scented the advance guard of
civilization toward the interior of the
Continent. They called the great river
Ikuta va Congo With these natives,
Stanley made "blood- brotherhood" and
purchased from them an abundance OF
provisions.
After a brief rest, Stanley continued his
course along the left bank. Three days
after leaving the friendly village he came
to the country of powerful tribe whose
warriors were armed with muskets. Here,
for the first time since leaving Nyargwe,
Stanley had to fight an enemy IF eqnal
| footing as to arms. No sooner did the
natives discover Stan1ey's approach than
they manned fifty-four large canoes, and
put off from the river bank to attack him.
Not till three of his men were killed did
Stanley desist trying to make the natives
understand that he was friendly. He
offered peace-gifts, but the savages refused
to be reconciled. and the fight went on.
For twelve miles down the river it was
maintained by Stanley's followers with
great courage, and was the last save one
of thirty-twO battles since the expedition
had left Nyangwe.
The Lualaba, which river changes its
name scores of times Is it approaches the
Atlantic Ocean, now becomes known as
the Kivango, and the Zoun. Az the river
runs through the great basin which lies
between Is and II deg. east longitude, it
