thing spring upon my shoulders, followed
by a horrible sensation of strangling.
For a moment or 80 was s.upefed;
but on raising my hand, felt mans
arm pressed against my throat. l knew
| had no time TO lose 80 ! leaned back
ward little. This threw my assailant
eff his guard no doubt he thought |
had tainted; and then with the wild
strength of despair, / bent suddenly for
ward, and threw the fellow over my
head. But, before l had fairly recov-
cred, he was upon me again like tiger,
and this time it was a hand-to-hand
struggle. We wrestled for some time,
till at last we fell, and my head was pro-
jecting over the precipice.
| felt tho hot blood rush to my mead; a
numbness seemed creeping over me, but
shook 1t of, and determined to have
another struggle tor my life.
As raised my head, the moon came
from behind cloud. and ] recognized
my weuld-be assassin as the stranger at
the tavern.
And at the same moment I saw some
thing glisten In his hand, and knew he
meant TO stab me.
l caught his arm AZ it descended, and
with my other hand clutched his throat.
He snatched his right arm away, and
quickly drew tho knife across my hand
that was at his throat Though 1t cut
me, my struggling prevented 1t being a
deep wound. Again that fearful knife
was being brandished before my face, and
more than once / felt the cold steel touch
my neck; but each time | succeeded in
beating it off; and all this time we were
Close TO the edge Of the path.
How we kept on the pathway at all il
a mystery TO me.
Once, In trying to stop blow, siezed
the keen blade in my hand, inflicting q
terrible wound but l succeeded in get
ting the kniie from him, and threw il
away as far as could. Then came the
real struggle for life-who should 40

equally matched, and both strong. Sew.

would have gone as well.
At last / got the better Of him for ap
instant; and throwing out my hand to
steady myself, I gripped large, sharp
stone.
With all the strength I could muster,
! struck him upon the head with it.
He groaned, and fell back insensible.
I must have tainted too, for found my.
self lying across him, with one hand still
at his throat.
As soon as my scattered senses return
ed, tied his hands fast together, behind
his back, with my scarf, and hurried

ern, where l remained for several weeks

Why ADVERTISER

People sometimes ask Why does DR.. R. v.
Pierce, OF Buffalo, n. V, spend so much
money in advertising his family medicines,
which are so well known and surpass all
other remedies in popularity and sale. II is
well known that A. I. Stewart considered it
good policy, and undoubtedly il paid him,
to spend many hundred thousand dollars in
advertising his goods, yet nobody questioned
the excellency of his merchandise. The
grand secret OF success lies In offering only
goods which possess merit to sustain them
selves, and tnen through liberal and persist
ent advertising making the people thorough.
" acquainted with their good qualities
Men do not ,ucceed In amassing great for.
tunes, establishing thriving and permanent
business, and founding substantial institu.
tiops like DR.. Pierce's Grand Invalids' Hotel
at Buffalo, which cost over two hundred
thousand dollars, unless their business be
legitimate, their goods meritorious, and their
services which they render the people gen.
uine aud valuable. DR.. Pierce does not at.
tempt 70 humbug you by telling you that his
Golden Medical Discovery will cure all dis
ises. He says, "if your lungs are half
not cure you, vet as a remedy for severe
coughs, and slI durable bronchial, throat,
and lung affections | believe il is unsur.
passed as remedy" The people have con-
idence in his medicines because he does
not over-recommend them, and when tried
they give satisfaction. His Medical Ad.

run into the spaces as fast as they can be
emptied below, with also an effective
alarm connection, we have a prison wall
which seems to be absolutely perfect.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that
the sand filling renders the wall imper-
vious to dampness or heat, and also when
put in partition walls is the best pre-
ventive OF COMMUNICATION by sound from
cell to cell.
The cast window and door frames are
built in with the hollow wall as with the
other. Even brick, which alone make
the worst material fer prison wall may
be used with safety in the construction
Of the hollow wall.
An improvement in the lock must be
noticed. The lock is fastened to the
cast-iron door, not by bolts or rivets but
by being slid into dovetailed groove or
recess, and this protects the criminal
from the fury Of the outside mob, which
cannot, with few blows of cold chisel
and sledge, remove the lock and open
the door, but must cut through the solid
door, anywhere easier than around the
lock.
The model on exhibition shows th
cell stilted on hollow cast-iron columns
which plan, in some cases, may be ad'
visable or necessary, as affording more
complete security against any attempt
to escape by cutting through the floor
of the cell. 1t gives the watchman com
mand at all times Of the open space un'
der the cells, and also allows repairs to
the sewerage and water-pipes which pas
through the columns. without destroy
ing the floor or foundation of the cell
Communication between series O.
stilted cells and the main building may
be made by means of draw-bridge,
which can be raised and all connection
cut off whenever desired.
An oblique door with perforated jaml
is one of the improvements included il
this system. 1t is designed to give ven
tilation and an opportunity to inspect
the cells. without permitting the occu
pants to look from one cell into another
Altogether the method of prison con
struction which has been developed BY
Messrs. Cook & Heath seems to be far il
advance Of the methods heretofore de
veloped, in security, in healthful arrange
ment, in economy, and in adaptation no
only to every form of str ucture designed
for the confinement Of persons, but ais,
to bank vaults and safe deposits, wher,
property is TO be secured from outside
attacks.
The gratitude Of the public is due tc
those who have placed in the hands o

which there is, practically, no escape
As preventive of crime such a prison
Is worth more than thousand sermons

be given wide berth by the professional
criminal, and. the prospect of inexorablt
confinement will offset many tempta
tion. The dignity of the law is pre-
served, and the highest respect is ac
corded to the authority that is able tc
enforce, to the utmost, the punishment
it has decreed.
A numberof prisons have already beei
built by the inventors of this system
and its completeness thoroughly tested
Parties who can appreciate the work

Chicago's Philosophical Coroner.

The annual report of the Chicago cor
oner Is a singular document. 1t begins
with quotations from Horace, and then
the following from " Hamlet" as pertinent
to the subject;
"-To die-to sleep
No more-and, by sieep to say We end
The heartsche, and tho thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir tc-'tls . consnmmstion
Devouty te b. wished"
Next comes a sage consideration of the
frequency Of murders, In which is this !:
"The pistol and knife are frequently
made the sole arbitcrs Of human strife,
and we are rapidly returning toward that
barbarous condition of affairs In which it
was necessary to instruct children, al
most from infancy, in the use of deadly
weapons in order that they might easily
acquire skill In the handling of these
amisble and useful Instrument" The
coroner devotes careful attention to
suicides, and incidentally says suicide is
particularly common among the Ger
mans of Chicago-as to which be puts
forward theory: "The we'll known
national beverage Of the Germans, large
beer, may have some influence upon
their psychological ailments into the
form. .oi a metamorphosis from phleg matte
case to melancholy, and finally suicidal
maina." After discussing love as an
incentive to suicide, he gives the passage
that We but lately quoted the other day
Let us pass from the contemplation of
the tragedy OF love to that OF the poo-
fellow who blew out what little brains
he had on account of the tortures to
which he was daily subjected by bis
mother-in-law. Mothers-in-law have
always been a great power of mischief in
the world, and alasl the plague is so
universal and enduring that we must
despair of ever seeing It overcome. The
misery caused by mothers-in-faw is
eternal, even as mothers-in-law them
selves are immortal"

EPISCOPAL CONVICTION.

Ghe proposed order of DeacOnesses
and aisIers Of she Church occupies
tne -Attenannee Light
Members Going HOme-AdJOurns on
wednesday, -Proeecdings,
BOSTON, October %. The message
from the house Of bishops, in relation
to marriage with relations, was con-
Cured in and committee appointed.
The number of bishops now in the
church is twenty-eight. An increased
effort with the freedmen OF the south
is recommended. The cannon adopted
by the house of bishops for the coac-
ton and government of the proposed
order of deacOnesses aud sisters of the
church, came up for concurrent action.
Rev. Dr. Huntingdon objected to the
provision in the canon for the govern
ment Of order, Whereby deacOnesses
would be governed by diocesan rule,
but was heartily m spirit with the pros
posed organization. DR.. Leeds, OF
Maryland; supported the canon IA it
came recommended by the committee,
as did also Mr.. Walsh, ofPenneylvania.
Judge Shelly, of Virginia, from COM
mittittee on canons, presented mi
nOrity report proposing that the quail
iicatiOn of women to enter the order
be left to the bishops, and the setting
apart of deaconeses should be by n
form set therefore by the house OF
bishops instead OF being In the control
OF any one bishop. DR.. Morgan, of
New York, expressed the opinion that
canonicnl legislation was unnecessary.
He could not endorse anything affect
ing the majority report DIR. Clark, of
Kentucky, said proper Legislation was
necessary to place the subject in It's
proper position before the world, and
declared himself In favor OF the canon
as reported from the house of bishops,
as ii would serve to protect the church
from any discredit. Rev. DIR. Shottuck,
Of Massachusetts, thought any legisla-
ton or eanOnical law relative to the
matter unnecessary DIR. Fulton, of Wis.
cousin, declared the sisterhood should
be governed ty legislation, the same
to be made by the respective diocesan
conventions, and regarded the work Of
the order In their respective jurisuic-
tons. In the afternoon session the
canon proposing the organization of
the order Of deaconeses or sisters was
discussed and finally laid on the table,
which disposes OF 1t so far US the pres.

Tho fair in our city has attracted
people from every portion of the state,
who flock to see the products, improve
ments and curiosities collected 1T the
exhibition of north Texas. They are
varied and interesting, but not more
so than the mammoth store of Messrs.
Sanger Bros, which has just been com.
pleted, and ia the largest and best APP
pointed in the Lone Star state. We
call the attention of erybcdy to their
clothing department, embracing every
thing In the line, from a suit for the
smallest boy to an outfit for the largest
man. Everything in the shape of
clothing is constantly on hand,
The firm do an immense jobbing trade
in this department., and therefore
the assortment Is never incomplete: 1t
must not be supposed that because the
house keep also II general stock of dry
goods, thai they do not pay full atten-
ton to clothing On the contrary,
their clothing department is larger,
better, and contains greater variety
of styles than any house in Texas,
that make clotbinga specially. Their
prices also, are beyond competition
Handling the great amount OF goods
that they do, and having their goods
manufactured themselves, they can
leave far behind, in regard to selling
low, any competitors in the state. TO
all who are about to purchase cold
weather goods OF any description, we
would advise them to call at the grand
emporium of Sanger Brothers.
