a celebrity attracting much atten-
ton OH broadway by his lofty stature
and somewhat pronounced Western
air is DIR. Carver, resting here tempo
rarily in the wake of Capt. Bogardus,
who crosses the Atlantic once more
this summer to defend his title of
champion pigeOn-shooter against new
English contestants. Towering sever
al good inches above the tallest fire.
quenters of the now daily brilliant
promenade, and wearing a broad
brimmed soft hat and formidable
reddish mOustache, the matchless ri
fleman from California is seemingly a
refinement of the "BuffalO Bill'' and
''TeXas Jack" type of accidental man
hood; not so theatrical as those pro-
fessiOnally ferOciOus worthless, but OBJ
viously of their fraternity. 1t has been
the delight of so many foreign journal
lists to explain the superiority of our
rifle teams at DollymOunt and Creed
moor by the assertion that "Ameri-
cans are familiar with the use of the
rifle from the cradle, 4" that the appear
ance of this veritably rifle-bred YAM
kee on foreign soil may be cOmplacent-
ly anticipated as q fultillment of
kind of poetic Justice. Though born
in the northern part of this State, Car
Yer was hardly more than an Infant
when his parents removed to Mime
sofa. In the course of one of the MUIR
dernus Indian fOrays of some twenty
years ago in the latter State he was
carried off prisoner by the savages,
amongst whom he grew nearly to
manhood, and acquired truly Won
derful skill with bow and gun. OF his
reclamation to civilization and subSe-
quent quieteF career on the Pacific
coast not much is known, save that
the ritle-shooting and pigeOn-killing
contests of the past few years have
stimulated him to exhibit his own
craftsmanship In public, to the as
tOnlshment fall behOlders. And he
really is marvel in his speciality, do
ing all with single bullet that the
most expert of his competitors can ac-
cOmpliSh with a scattering charge of |
fine shot. More than this, he is able |
to shoot As unerringly from the saddle |
of a horse on u full run as from the sol |
id ground, and can hit ringing bell |
or other sounding objects while blind |
folded. He SANS that he hasshot birds
and animals by night, in the darkest |
ton indicated by their cries. Firing
very quickly, and often without SEEM
ingly ''sighting' his object at all, he
appears to be dead-shOt by general
physical instinct, and indeed hardly
himself, the principle of
his amazing execution. Here, then,
is a genuine native American "born
rifieman" for English and French
sportsmen to try their skin against,
and it is safe to predict that no origl-
nal American product will attract
more attention in Paris this summer.
Romantic as his outward aspect is, DIR.
Carver is modest in conversation, and
believes Capt. Bogardus to be the best
shot with fowling-piece in this coun-
try, if not in the world.

| confidence. While rowing in the
| great plains and in the shadows of the
lofty mountains of Arizona and Low
| er New Mexico, he became enamOred
and made love to one of the most
! beautiful maidens of the tTibe-DTOOp-
| ing Cypress-a princess, and daughter
of the chief She had the graceful
form, the dusky yet handsome fea-
lures, the large fawn-lilIe eyes, the
dark hair that flowed down the shOal-
ders, had the natural, unadOrneed
beauty for which the Indian girl is
noted. She listened to his Overtures
of love and the pair were married
that is to say, Indian fashion. By
Dropping Cypress the young adven-
turer had two pappOOses, very beauti-
ful children. When Lehman was de-
livered back to his mother in Loyal
Valley, after eight years residence
among the COnlanches, the first re-
quest made by him was that his In
dian wife, Dropping Cypress, his pO-
nies, his rifle, and his psppOOses should
be sent for, as il was utterly impOSSi-
bic he could be hNppy without them.
His mother and Gen. Mckenzie prom
ised it should be as he desired, but
whether the Camanches will be will
ing tOgive them up is question to be
decided in the future. In the mean
time, may it not be hoped that Red
Dog and his fair and lovely Indian |
wife, Dropping Cypress, may spend |
the residde of their lives with their |
poIries and children, on the banks of
LlanO? In regard to the case, Gu
riOus fact is mentioned. 1t is that |
Lehman BOokmeyer, when stolen,
could alone speak the German tongue.
When he returned to his mother it |
was found he had totally forgotten
that language, and spoke only Conan
che, which he did fluently, and broken
English.

How shall know thee in the sphere which

When all of thee that time could wither

And perishes among the dust we tread.

If there meet thy gentle presence not,
Nor hear the voice love. nor read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought.

That heart whose fondest throbs to me
were given,
Ny name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
And wilt thou never utter 1t in Heaven?
The love that lived through all the stormy
past,
And meekIy with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew and tendereT, to the last,
Shall 1t expire with life and be no more?
\ happier lot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there; for thou hast Bowed thy
will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
Yet though thou wearest the glory of the sky
wilt thou keep the same beloved name,
The same fair, thoughtful brow, and gentle

Lovelier in Heavens sweet climate, yet

Girls the Men Like Best,

New York correspondence of Adirondack

They may well feel cOmplimCnted,
and our BOSTON, girls may well feel
envious, when man of the world, "a
poet and novelist well beloved by each,
gave this as his Opinion-having
known both: 81 must say that the
New York girls are the prctticst,
brightest and smaTtest Of any / ever
saw anywhere. My daughters give lit
tie luncheon parties at which, as a mat
ter Of course, am invited To preside.
1t is delightful. It is marvellous.
Why, they are so pithy, so cultivated,
so brilliant, so witty! And they talk
upon every subject from political econ
Omy to flowers. 1t is charming To lis
ten to them. There is set Ola doz-
en- or fifteen girls whom | meet who
will stand well against the world for
woman should he. But they
will not marry. Men don't fancy
them. They don't want them. They
don't know they have bodies, excepting
things on which To bank dry goods.
Men do not like such. They think
they will not make happy homes; that
they will he To absorbed i'm thousand
outside matters. II Is not that 4 largo
fortune is required and the usual talk
of extravaganza and d:ess that detcrs
young men from marrying such wO-
men. II is the fact that their tastes
are not in common, and they do not
find, after two or three interviews that
they are cOngenial 10 each other. Ifa
fine, frank, good business man appears,
the girls will not look at him. He
knows nothing of antique furniture;
he cannot criticise Schiller. Splendid,
promising young fellows, with long
heads, keen wits and good hearts are
nowhere because they are not capable
of entering into thcrefincd atmosphere
of Over-cultured girls, who have done
nothing but accomplish their ways.

bodily magnetism which such girls
absolutely lack-sO there is an end"

EDISON ouTDoINa HIMSELF.
A Trumpet With Which the Human
Voice Nay Be Heard Two Miles Away.
New York Sun,

''The TelescOpopOhone" is the name
of Mr.. EdisOn's invention. 1t is sim.
| ply a marvellous ear trumpet, upon tile
| construction of which Mr.. EdisOn'S
attention was attracted to the subject
| by his own deafness. He is enabled
to hear only when the speaker enun-
| ciates in a loud tone. Mr.. Edison /.
10th to describe the TelescOpopOhOne
! except generally, as it is not completed,
and is to be patented. The implement
is about five and a half feet long, and
has an internal arrangement by which
sound is concentrated and made loud
er. a sound which to the unaided
ear is inaudible becomes distinct by
the use of the TelescopopOhone. Con-
cerning it Mr.. Edison said:
''The telescopOpOhOne is assuredIy
successful. l have demonstrated that
by its Use not only can those partly
deaf hear, but persons can talk while
a mile or two apart"
"But do not other sounds cOmmin-
gle-sounds intervening between the
speaker and the hearer"
Certainly they do, to limited eX-
tent, and more SO if the instruments
are not pointed straight"
GLOW do you remedy that?'
"Why, you must point 'em straight
The saue objection could be made 10
a telescope. fyou do not point it
straight you see other objects than the
pOpOhOne is pointed directly at the
ness, the voice of the speaker is the
chief thing heard"
"Does it increase the volume of
sound?"
81 have whispered in one of these
things in very low tone, and the
sound in my ear was so loud as to be
painful"
Mr.. Edison expressed the fullest con-
fidence that he would perfect the tele-
so that by its aid partly
deaf persons may hear every whisper
on the stage of the largest theater.
A gentleman who heard expert
ments with the telescopopohone said
that Mr.. Edison heard distinctly the
the ticking of telegraphic instru-
ment thousand feet away, and even
the noise of the chewing and biting of
grass nearly two thousand feet dis
tant.
One of the party then stood six hun
dred feet away, and his whisper was |
heard, although Mr.. Bache- |
lOIJ SCStllulIlS only hIleen IeeG from
him, without the aid of the telescopes
pOhOne, could not hear a word"
Then the party tried more striking |
Two of them went at |
least mile off, and talked to each |
other in an ordinary tone of voice.
Even at that distance ordinary con-
was distinctly heard with
out speaking tube, without any wire
or electrical apparatus, but simply by
the aid of the new ear-trumpet or tel
But, even this was surpassed by the
next experiment, which was at dis
lance estimated at two miles. From
hat point the ordinary tone of voice
could not be heard, and shouting was
necessary, yet the new ear-trumpet did
is work, and the hearing was rapeat-
I'd as before.
"Now, Mr.. Edison, what next?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Edison, with one of
hose hearty bursts of laughter that he
20 often indulges in, "Pve not got to
he end yet"

Terrihls Fight With a Bull.

Late last fall Mr.. I.ardin, Il man oi

imported from England splendid
twO-year old short-hOrncd Durham
bull at a cost of s., 60; also two Dur
ham heifers at a cost ofS5JO each. "El
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 coun-
try. He was tractable and soon be-
came almost pet with bis master,
who kept the 1900 pound monster
| housed but not tied. Three weeks
| ago Mr.. Lardin, who weighs over two
| hundred pounds, went into the stable
| for the purpose of putting n rope
through am iron ring i'm the bulls
nose and tying him up. Placing his
hand on the animals horn, Mr.. Lar
din was about To reach down to seize
the ring, when the bull suddenly
threw up his head, striking Mr.. Lar
din just over the left eye with the horn
and knocking him down.
Turning with all the Cuickness of
rat-terrier, the infuriated brute sprang
upon the PROSTATE man and attempted
to gore and crush him to death. Luck

This failure seemed to madden him
still further, and he threw his whole
tremendous weight against the side Of
the building i'm desperate attempt to
once more use his horns. Fortunate
ly 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 in-
