Fight,
LChicago Inter- Ocean.l

LChicago Inter Ocean.1
SANTE FE, N. NJ, July 28.-Rumors OF O.
desperate collision between the factions in
Lincoln county have been ahoat here for the
gagement having taken place is to-day con-
firmed in letter received by the United
States attorney of this district. The fact are
that McSWeen, accompanied by slxty-four
Of his men, appeared in the town of Lincoln
on the sixteenth instant for the purpose Of
capturing the place from the Dolan party,
which was assisting the sheriff in holding it..
All the women had been sent to Fort Stanton
five days previously for safety In anticipation
Of the fight. McSWeen found the Dolan party
as strong as his own, and well fortified in
various houses, whereupon he took up his po-
sition In barricaded buildings, when an ex-
change of shots began. Skirmishing was
still going on, when the letter was writ
ten July 20,, and ten thousand shots were
estimated to have been fired in the four days
On the twentieth the Dolan party made q
charge on McSweens quarters and fired the
building, which dislodged the occupants, and
hand-tO-ha combat ensued, in which Nc
Sween and eight of his men were killed; also,
Robert Beckwith OF the Dolan party. A num-
Der are said to have been wounded, but how
many is not known. We are expecting further
news hourly. McSWeen's party fired upon
and wounded military courie,, a few days
board of officers at Stanton. This party also
recently fired into the home of the widow of
the late Sheriff Brady, compelling Mrs. Brady
and her children to seek protection at Stanton.
Your reporter has just seen Gov. Axtell, who
says that the recent order forbidding the use
Of the military leaves him powerless to pre-
vent further slaughter. -Four companies of
soldiers are stationed within nine miles Of the
bloody scene, but were not used, as they could
not be, unless In violation Of orders, to pre-
vent the collision. It Is even rumured that q
large number Of the military Witnessed the
fighting as mere spectators.
Frederick the Great was peculiar In diet

mixed a. large tablespoonful Of pounded mace

lowed up by q copious allowance Of an Italian
dish, composed half of maize flour and half OF

This is called polenta. At length continues
ZimmernanJ the King, praising the excellent
appetite which the dandelion had given him.
concluded the scene with q large plate Of eel
pie, so hot and So highly seasoned that it
seemed to have bcen baked In hell" Then he
concludes: "While at table the King fell
asleep, and was seized with conyulsions.'

A SeasOnabIe Hint.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin re
miRding its readers that the next few week S
give the best season of the year to "plant
fences" supplies some very remarkable fig
ures as to the use Of wire fence, and espec,
tally of the Barb Fence of the Washburn &
Moen Manufacturing Company. Since the
introduction of wire fence, twenty years
ago, one hundred and fifty thousand miles of
wire fence have been constructed. The
Barb Fence has been before the public only
three seasons, yet already t1Centy.t01,r thou
sand mites of this fence are in use in this
country and various parts of the world. 1t
is in the highest favor with land owners, for
farm and home protection against depre-
dators of the crop and orchards. The fence
IS constructed OF Galvanized Steel Wire, and
carries steel barbs firmly attached by the
process of manufacture patented in this
country and very widely abroad. The Barb
Fence is literally a steel tnorn hedge with
all the defensive qualities of the most per-
feet hedge, and all the durability of galyan-
lied steel wire. 1t is cheap as a material,
easy in construction, and has almost the
life and tenacity of stone wall. The Barb
Fence Wire is being extensively used in sin
gle strands to perfect and give efficiency to
walls and fences of old construction. 1t

a Drill Wh1ch Bores Square Holes.

One Of the novelties of the Paris expo
sition is drill which bores square holes,
the invention of Mr.. Julius Hall, of Lon
don. The work is done too, says cor
respondent of the Scientific NeaCs, in
way so simple and so easy that any one
may prove the fact for himself. The
invention has excited genuine astonish-
ment among the mechanics gathered at
the exposition. There is a constant
crowd surrounding the inventor, watch
ing him bore hole after hole square, and
pulling over the provokingly simple
solution of the problem. All that is re-
CURED is an ordinary hand drill stock.
a stationary one with chuck below for
holding the work is used by the invent
or; but he says a common brace will
answer" anything, in fact, will do that
will properly hold the drill" The tool
itself is the usual form of three-square
drill-so that no special apparatus is
required. Clamp or chuck this drill in
its hold so that " it will wobble," that is
the whole secret Instead of making a
round hole, as it will if tightly grasped,
when losely held it produces square
one; and, according to the inventor, it is
immaterial whether the drill wobbles in
the work or the work under the drill.

Well-TOned systems.

Systems toned and renovated with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are most effec
tually defended from disease. That supreme
invigorant soon overcomes that distressing
feebleness consequent upon ailments which
impoverish the blood and relax the muscles
Vigor, appetite, sleep return to the wasted
frame, and every physical faculty gains
greater activity Thoughts benign influence
Nor is this all, for the Bitters have most
genial and cheering effect upon the mind Of
the respondent invalid, which is the natu
raj effect of the increased bodily vitality
which they produce. Nervous symptoms
disappear in consequence of the use of this
medicine, and the evil consequences sure
to result from a premature decay of the
physical energies are a7erted. Dyspepsia
liver complaints, rheumatic ailments, urina
ry and uterine irregularities, malarial dis
eases, and many other disordered conditions
of the system, are remedied by the Bitters.

A Hindoo's Feat.

Among the hill tribes of the Anglo
Indian frontier cunning is quite as
highly esteemed as personal proves, and
there is ample foundation for the native
proyerb that ait is easier to find snow in
summer than to outwlt Khyberee.'
But even these masters of stratagem
occasionally meet their match, as the fol.
lowing adventure, told in the words OF
its hero, HindOo trader, sufficiently
shows. "When ] started to go from
Peshawur to Herat, | knew that !

their weapons and the best of their

my way. But I can tell you, Sahib, l

The Largest Plant in the World.

We are accustomed 10 regard the great
trees of California as the most gigantic
specimens of vegetable growths known
to man, but such is not the case. There
is a submarine plant growing IN the
North Pacific Ocean which, according to
Professor Reinsch, dwarfs all others in
its vast proportions. The Macrocystls
pyrJra, one of the MeJanospirm9, has
been known to grow to such an extent as
to cover vast areas of the ocean bed.
One specimen by measurement was
found to cover three square miles, and
the stem from which the growth proceed
ed was eight feet in diameter. Il is al
most impossible to conceive of such a
plant, or how a system of nourishment
can De maintained through such extend
ed channels in the living organism.
Nature performs strange freaks, and GER
tainly none can be stranger than the
fact that of this'gigantic species there are
some specimens so small as to be micro
scopic, or only to be seen by the aid of
powerful objectives.-J0wnal Of Com

THE SPRAY OF THE SEAWEED.

NrstIed below the hollow bank
In the rugged northern land,
Where the breakers leap and the wild winds SWEEP
Over the long gray sand;
Where the great tides ceaseless ebb and flow
Leaving curving lines of foam
Amid rush and sedge, on rocky ledge
The fisherman made his home.
Forever through blaze of MONDAY
Through midnights solemn Sleep
through morns soft ray and cleaning gray,
Thrilled the music of the deep:
And the foam-hakes flew on the breezes
And rested, where, sparse and thin,
The grasses shook In the sheltered nook
AS the hood-tide thundereth in.
She stands in the lowlv doorway
The girl with the wild blue ewes
The hoatlng hair, and the startled air
AND the blush that deepens and flies
whenever sudden footstep
1reads the path DER the turfy down
vi the bells peal out, or laugh or shout
Rings up from the little town.
She goes not with the red-cloaked girls,
10 the pier at evening tide,
Nor fingers to watch for the herring catch,
On the stalthes at the harbOr side;
Nor wanders among the sand-hills,
Where the sea-pinks creep and cling,
Nor to lanes where they know the Yiolets blow,
And the merry blue-bells ring.
But ever she keeps her vigil
By her fathers lonely cot
With a listening ear-what would it hear9
Fixed eyes that strain for-what?
And always the frail, soft fingers
Toy with strange love-token;
seaweed spray from the rocky BAY
It's trails all dried and broken.
They talk sometimes in whispers.
Among the fsher-folk,
OF a stranger who came with a foreign name,
To win heart he broke;
And one would tell he watched them
On the sands-reach by the heath,
And saw him twist, round the curls he kissed
The sea-b0om's coral wreath.
Fast fed that golden summer,
Oh, many a lonely year,
Through change and loss, through care and Gro s
Has the pale girl wasted here
For him who wooed and won, and went
Fair promise on his tongue
Nor ever returned to the faith he spurned
To the heart his falsehOod wrung.
Yet still she keeps the seaweed,
That as his pledge he gave,
That happy night, in the soft rose light,
At the margin of the wave;
And ever she waits and watches
For him who will never more
Trace the winding road too often trode
To the cottage on the shore.
And the few life leaves to love her,
No longer strive to win
The wildered brain from the sweet dull pain,
II so long ha wandered in
Better they think to let her keep
Her poor dim dream of trust
Till at last at rest, she bears on her breast
The seaweed and the dust
An the Year Round.

The Russians are completing the lines
of earthworks commenced by the Turks,
about fifteen miles from COnstantinOple,
when the Grand Duke Nicholas came over
the Balkans and the city was threatened.
These works run from Chekmedje, near the
Sea of MarmOra, across the country north to
Serkos, on the Black sea. The line is slightly
irregular, but forms a curve, crossing the
AdrianOple railroad few miles west Of
Hadem.Koi, through Natosh and Bahama
Kutch, md then turns northwest to SerkOs
and Yeni-Koi. These Notifications were
intended by the Turks to form the final
barrier to the approach Of the Russians, but
they began them too late, and, as they had
neglected to fortify the strategical points in
Roumelia, further west, their work was
fruitless. The Russians are evidently pre-.
pairing for possible British attack, for their
line Of defense extends from the vicinity of
ConstantinOple to the Gulf of Salonica,
while troops are posted within striking dis.
tance of the Bosporus. In the meantime
the entire remnant of the Turkish army is
camped about Constantinople, and fresh war
