s'The Exchange was in corner build
ing across a street which came in at
right angles with the sidewalk where
they were standing. Montana went III
at the front door, but came out at the
side OH cross street, hoping to steal mp
and get the drop on Tom, but this was
not SO easy Tom was wide-awake--
he had crossed the main street to guard
against surprise; 80, when Montana
poked his pistol round the corner and
followed it with just enough OF his head
to take sight, Csrberry was not in
range. In moment their eyes met,
and the shooting began. Tom curled
down close to the road-bed, TO present
tho smallest possible area as a mark,
and because it is comparatively difficult
to hit an object lying OIL the ground.
Montana sheltered himself somewhat
behi;ld low row of sacks of potatoes
lying on the edge of the. sidewalk, and
partly behind large awning post.
This was fatal error, for with tall
post tor Il mark it is the easiest thing in
the world to make line shot.

shooting, which in reality was very soon

GATHERING GOLD.
which lay Buried for Fourteen Years
And was Dug Up by Rltad MAN
Who Carried GERe Secret.


During the late unpleasantnessa large |
Federal force, camped and cntrenched |
near Southern town, was gradually |
hemmed i'll by a superior force, under q
noted rebel general. As the lattef'r
forces drew near, the Federal COM
mander sent into town aud removed q
heavy deposit of gold ~ce in from the
banks to his camp, to keep the enemy
from capturing it. 1t was kept i'll the
original packages, and closely guarded
night and day. The Federal force
was Obliged to capitu!ate; and during
the negotiations for a surrender, the
gold was broken into and about twenty
thousand dollars stolen. After the sur
render the captors turned over t. the
banks the entire amount, less what had
been stolen.
Years afterwards, soldier was sick
in the hospital at Louisville, and believ-
| ing he had not Ioug tn live, took the
steward into his confidence, and told
MIN he was the pessessor of valuable
secret. He knew where twenty thou-
sand dollars i'll gold lay buried, aud
would tell him, Ak he had been the re.
cipient of many kiisduesses at his hands.
After giving him careful and minute
descriptions and drawings, the soldier
died, and the steward remained possess
sor of the secret But he found great
difficulty in arranging for the finding
aud removal OF the treasure, and had 10
leave it undisturbed until his term of
service was ended. Fortune seemed
against him, for lie contracted some dis
ease of the eyes, from which he became
hopelesSly blind. After becoming blind
he was obliged t" have help. so shared

utmost caution. Furthermore, the pa.

been lost, and the only place where the

in the blind man's memory.
To makes a long story short, they dis
covered the place, at the foot of tree

miles aronnd-on a high and densely

american Cotton Goods in Sweden.

The report Of the United States, min
ister to Sweden and Norway, Mr.. An
drews, for the year 1875, contains so
many matters of interest to the commerce
of Great Britain that it has been re
printed in London. Among many other
things which is of interest to British as
we'll as American manufactures Is the
statement Of Minister Andrews respecting
an experiment made by a Stockholm
house in the importation Of cotton man
ufactures from the United States. Dur
ing the season of 1875, the report says,
cotton cloths and prints Of excellent
quality were imported from Boston. Inc
experiment has shown that some styles
of American calicOes can be imported at
a profit of 10 per cent, notwithstanding
the Swedish duty on such goods Is -
cents q pound in weight in coin. The
house in question was so well pleased
with its experiment that it took steps to
make additiodaI importatiOns OF cotton
manufactures from the United states.
The minister further states that cotton
twine for fish nets was imported during
the wear from Boston both into sweden
and Norway. ...a

Democracy in Russia.

A correspondent of the London Times
has been in the Russian camp long
enough to discover that vast problem
in human nature is working out in a
mighty nation. He maintains that the
Russian people are to-day the most purely
democratic in Europe in their tendencies
and customs. There is the form of an
absolute despOtism in the government,
but this vast under current of democracy
makes itself in the very heart of this
despotism, and really controls its action.
1t Is this subtle influence which forced
the emperor into this war, and it is the
fear Of this power that prevents him
from leaving the field he has once entered
until he can do so VIGOROUSLY. The
evidences of this spirit of democracy are
plainly written in the everyday life Of
the army, and those who choose may
read it as they go. The Old-style form
of aristOcracy still exists in the court
circles of the army. but there is vast
msiority where the officer recognizes the
private as an equal, man for man, and
the distinction between them is regarded
as an official only. SCObeleff, for instance,
shakes hands with the iewest suhaltern in
the same manner as with colonies of regi.
meuts. These young lieutenants show
no ConstrainL in his presence; all Is easy
and purely democratic, and yet every
word of command or expression of a
desire from the general is Obeyed with an
aIacrity and rapidity that cannot be sur
passed in the most despOtic martinez ser
vice on the globe. Tne private soldiers
are also easy, and, to certain extent,
familiar with their officers, and yet the
discipline is perfect. .- -.--

FARE WELL.
By GEORGE ARNOLD.

Summer is fading; the broad leaves that grew
. 50 freshly green when June was young are falling
And all the Ehisper-hauntsd forest through
The r9stless birds il saddened tones are calling
From rIIstliuZ hazel cope aud tangled dell,
...- .. =" Farewell, sweet summer,
Fragrant, fruity summer,
Sweet farewelll"
Upon the windy hill in many field
he honey bees hum slow above the clover,
Cleaning the latest sweets its hloom may yield
And, knowing that their harvest time Is over,
Sing half lullaby aud half a knell.
g Farewell, sweet summer,
HOney-laden summer,
Sweet farewell
The little brook that bubbles '1aid the ferns
Ger twisted roots and sandy shallow PLAYING,
Seems fsin tC HngeT in its edded turns,
Aud, with p!aIntive, PurTing voice, is saying
Sadder and sWeeter than my song can tell
" Farewell, sweet summer,
WsTm aud dreamy summer,
-..H.. .. Sweet farewell"
The htful breeze sweeps down the winding lane
With gold and crimson leaves before it flying,
It's gusty laughter has so sign OF pain,
But in the lulls it sinks to gentle signing,
And moUrns the summer 9 early broken spell
... 81 Farewell, sweet summer
Rosy, blooming summer,
Sweet farewell"
So bird, and bee and brook, aud breeze may moan
With melancholy song their loss cOmplsiRing;
l. tcO must join them, as l walk alone
Among the sights and sounds Of summers wan
l. too, have loved the season passing we'll
So, farewell, summer,
Fair, but faded summer,
Sweet FAREWELL

RED-HOT.

Down in lHe silver Mine, DndeFueath

Those who have never personally in
spected the lower levels of our mines
may obtain some idea of the degree Of
heat to be found therein by visiting the
Savage works at the change Of shifts.
The men-paCked together as close as
they can stand on the cage-are popped
up out of the shaft all steaming hot, for
all the world lie a bunch of asparagus

their appearance in a cloud of steam

until they step forth upon the floor of

rate, Ieach carries with him for hall a
minute his little private cloud of vapOr.
As this passes off The man is seen 10 be
naked from his waist up, his skin as wet
as though he had Just been lifted out Of
pool of water. TheImen bring up with
them-besides the steam-an amount OF
heat that may be felt by the spectator as
they pass. All this Is at the top Of the
shaft, where it Is considered quite cool
what, then, must it be hundreds of feet
below, where the men started from ~

only when the hot, moist air coming up
from the lower regions strike the cool air
towards the top Cf the shaft that IL takes
the form of steam. Down there where
the men came from you must keep your
hands off the pump column and the pipes,
and if you pick up an iron tool you will
| at once put IL down without being told
! to do so. Down there they handle thiBgs
