HIBERNATIoN OF YELLOW FEVER.

HIBERNATION OE YELLOW FEVER.

1t lies latent during the winter, and
when warm weather comes again the
disease completes its work, taking it
up at the point where it had left off
during the previous year. "Not only
does yellow fever hibernate during it's

The RUSSIAN CALENDAR.

A congress of savants is to be held
at ST. Petersburg to discuss the propri-
ETY. of placing Russia on par Of accu-
racy with the rest of the world in re-
gard to the calendar Towards the
close Of the sixteenth century the re-
formed calendar of Gregory XIII. was
promulgated and readily adopted by the
Latin and Catholic nations, miracles
which had heretofore fallen on certain
specific days-as, for instance, the liq-
uefaction of the blood of St. Januarius
on the 10th Of September = easily
aGaptlng themselves to the change
Germany chung to the old style till the
year 100, and England till fifty-two
years later, when statute OF George
Ii. provided that the year should begin,
not on the 18th OF March, but on the
1St Of January, and that after the Sd
of September, 1852, the next ensuing
day should be regarded as the 18th,
thus dropping outeleven days, and not,
as the London Staaada1rd has it, twelve
days. The Russians, in common with
the Servians and most of the Slavonic
peoples subject to Turkey, retained
the old calendar, although Russia has
given countenance to Pope Gregory by
reckoning leap years. 1t is, of course,
desirable that the Cars people should
reckon time as the people of Western
Europe do, but it seems to be suspect

THE SOUTH CAROLINA FRAUDS In
1876, the Democratic vote in South Car
DINA for Representative la. Congress
was 94,602, and the Republican vote
94.l43. At the recent election, the
Democratic vote swelled to 49, $40 and
the Republican vote shrunk to 45y031.
This LIS a most extraordinary result,
and shows what power there is. even
in SO thin a thing as tissue ballots, and
how many voters prefer to stay at
home rather than risk their lives in
the exercise of constitutional right.

4" NEVER MIND"

What's the use of always fretting
at the trials we shall find
Ever strewn along our pathway?
Travel On and "neyer mind"
Travel onward working, hoping;
Cast no lingering glance behind
AT the trials once encountered.
Look ahead, and :" never mind.''
What is past is past forever;
Let all fretting be resigned;
It will never help the matter
Do your best, and "never mind"
And if those who might befriend you,
Whom the ties of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven and "never mind -
Friendly words are often spoken
When the feelings are unkind
Take them for their real value.
Pass them by, and never mind"
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies NAV be combined;
Ifyour trust in God is steadfast,
He will help you, "never mind"

The Trouble With the Indians.
BAN FRANCIsnn Lnne 21

BAN FRANCISCO, June 21.
A Boise City dispatch says: Par
ties from Ft. Hall and Lemhi, Uia Wood
River and Big Camas Prairie, report
having seen 200 Indians on Wood River,
about 200 miles east of this place, who
claim to be friendly and on their way to
Ft. Hall Agency. These Indians stated
that James A. Dempsey, white man
who has an Indian wife and has lived
many years with the Indians, and who
was with the Indians in the Lava Beds
at the commencement of the outbreak,
had been killed by war party before
they left the Lava Beds on their raid
ing tour"
Small parties of Indians and traces
of larger bodies are daily discovered in
the country bordering the overland
stage road. These Indians are no doubt
scouts and struggling reinforcements,
on their way from the east to join the
main body now in the neighborhood of
STEMS Mountain. They are keeping
up a regular line of communication be-
tween the Lava-Bed region and place
of rendezvous, and watching the move
ments of the troops. Maj. Sanford,
who is tonight at Canyon Creek, forty
miles east of this place, will arrive here
to join Gen. Howard in the Mahelheur
country. Gen, Howard, with about 400
men, will proceed tomorrow in the di-
rection of STEMS Mountain, where it is
understood the Indians have concen-
trated and decided to make stand.
A Silver City telegram says: The
stage road between here and Winnie
mucca is clear of hostiles. Jerry Win
nemucca and other friendly Piutes who
have been in the hostile camp recently
say the Bannocks claimed that they had
killed thirteen whites and had three of
their own Indians killed. Three white
men were killed and burned in a cabin
near Stein Mountain recently. The
Mahelheur reservation Indians were be-
having worse than the Bannocks,
slaughtering every animal that came
within their reach. Gen. Howard is
still at Mahelheur City.

Terrible Fight With a Bull.

Late last fall Mr.. Lardin, man of
wealth and admirer of blooded stock,
imported from England splendid two
years-old short-horned Durham bull,
at cost of S2,650; also two Durham
heifers at cost of $3.50 each. :" FL
Toro" was considered, not only by its
owner, but by all who saw him, as one
of the most perfect specimens of his
species ever brought to this country.
He was tractable and soon became al
most pet with his master, who kept
the 2,300-pound monster housed but
not tied. Three weeks ago Mr.. Lardin,
who weighs over 200 pounds, went into
the stable for the purpose of putting
rope through an iron ring in the bulls
nose and tying him up. Placing his
hand on the animals horn, Mr.. Lardin
was about to reach down to seize the
ring, when the bull suddenly threw up
his head, striking Mr.. Lardin just above
the left eye with the horn and knocking
him down.
Turning with all the quickness of a
rat-terrier, the infuriated brute sprang
upon the PROSTATE man and attempted
to gore and crush him to death. Luck
lily, Mr.. Lardin fell close to the wall of
the stable, so that the animal was un-
able to carry out his purpose by reason
of his horns striking the side of the
building. The animal then attempted
to crush his victim by kneeling upon
him, but again the side of the stable
prevented.
This failure seemed to madden him
still further, and he threw his whole
tremendous weight against the side of
the building in desperate attempt to
once more use his horns. Fortunately
the boards stood the test, but one of his
horns struck Mr.. Lardin on the left
shoulder and passed over his chest until
reaching the breastbone, where, but for
the shelter afforded by the wall, a
death-wound must have been inflicted.
Lying as still as he could, while the
bull was bunting with all his might,
Mr.. Lardin kept feeling cautiously for
the ring in the animals nose, when a
sudden movement brought it within
reach, and it was instantly seized by the
desperate man. With a quick wrench
and death grip the bull found himself
instantly shorn of strength. With both
wrists almost broken, both thumbs
nearly dislocated, his body crushed and
bleeding, and nearly stripped of cloth
ing, Mr.. Lardin staggered to his feet
and led the bull out of the stable, across
lot to an eight-rail fence. Here he
pulled the brute's nose up after him as
he climbed, until he was ready to DROP
on the other side, when he let go anC
ran as fast as his legs could carry him

William Cullen Bryant.

William Cullen Bryant has joined the
majority. He had lived long, peace
full and pure life, and there is no rea-
son to suppose that death had for him
any terrors. The accident which has
cost him his life was deplorable; but in
the course of nature he could not have
expected to live many years longer. He
was born at CummingtOn, Mass, on the
Sd of November, 1894, so that he was in
his eighty-fourth year. His grandfa-
ther was DR.. Peter Bryant, well-edu-
Gated gentleman with refined literary
tastes, and with much desire for the in
tellectual and moral development of his
children, whose education he personally
superintended. The genius of William
Cullen Bryant ripened early; "Thana-
topsis," was written when he was not
yet nineteen years old. AS prose
writer, Mr.. Bryant was good, but not
great; he wrote with conciseness and
with certain vigor and directness of
purpose that was cOmmendable. Mr..
Bryantretained remarkably good health
up to the day of the accident which
prostrated him, and the gayety and
buOyancy of his spirits were unchecked.
Mr.. Bryant, before he was ten years
old, wrote verses that were published
in the county newspaper, and his proud
father, who regarded him with pardon
able paternal partiality, had printed,
when he was fourteen, two poems OF
some length" The Spanish Revolu-
tom and "The Embargo'-which
were so we'll received that a second edi-
tion of them was printed in 1909. In
the following year Mr., Bryant, being
then lad of sixteen years, entered
Williams College, where he remained
but two years, leaving the college tc
enter upon the study of the law. In
1918 he wrote Thanatopsis." He
was admitted to the bar in 1915, being
then twenty-One; and, after practicine
for while in Plainfeld, removed K
Great Darlington. His family influence
his pleasant manners, his handsome ap
pearance and his unquestiOnable ability
soon gave the young lawyer a gooC
name in the local and State courts; but
he did not take a profound interest il
his profession, inelining rather to litera
ture than to law. In 1917 Thanatop
sis'' appeared in the North american
ReUieIO. The poem was highly praised
Four years afterward Mr.. Bryant reaC
beford the Phi Beta Kappa Society o
Harvard didactic poem upon "Th'
Ages; and Immediately afterward hi
poems were collected and published il
a volume at Cambridge. In 1925 MIR
Bryant removed to New York, wher
for a year he was engaged as write
upon the New York ReUiet0, and its sue
cessor, the United States ReUiew. Tn
following year he formed his first con
nection with the Evening Post, whic

Old Time Militia Musters.

The " rude militia" companies, ac-
cording to law, met twice a year at
their respective headquarters for a
days drill and instruction. The regi-
ment was assembled once year, usu-
ally in the month of May, at the county
town, where it was maneuvered and in
stIucted rather after Dryden's system
than either of those prescribed by Con-
gress.
Prepatory and for three days imme-
diately preceding the general muster,
the officers of all arms were assembled
and drilled together as light infantry
company, commanded by their field
officers They were instructed in the
manual of arms, company tactics, regi-
mental maneuvers, and wound up by a
ceremonious rehearsal of the part they
were to play in the grand review next
day.
Although this company exhibited the
elite of our regimental splendors, gilt
tering with tinsel and haunting with
feathers, a more heterogeneous and un-
soldierly parade could scarcely be i'm
agined. There were the elect from the
mountains, who sometimes marched to
the rendezvous barefoot, carrying their
boots and soldier clothes in bundle
the ambitious cobblers, tailors, and
plouwboys from cross-road hamlets
and remote rural districts, short, tall,
fat, skinny, bow-legged, sheep-shanked,
cock-eyed, hump-shouldered, and sway
backed-equipped by art as econom-
ically, awkwardly, and variously as
they were endowed by nature, uni
formed in contempt of all uniformity,
armed with old fiint-lock muskets,
hOrsemen's carbines, long squirrel
rifles, doubled-barreled shot-guns, bell
muzzled blunderbusses, with side-arms
of as many different patterns, from the
old dragoon saber that had belonged tC
Harry Lees Legion to the slim basket
hilted rapier which had probably
graced the thigh of some of our French
allies in the Revolution. The officer:
of the volunteer companies, on the
other hand, were generally selected fol
their handsome appearance and MARTA
