was out hunting, and came across

Ned shot one of the cubs dead and
wounded the other. The wounded one
set up crying and whining that was
heard by its mother, and before Wal
lace could reload his rifle, he was start
led by {. scream SO shrill and piercing
that the sound seemed to penetrate TO
the marrow of his bones. Wallace IS
an experienced hunter, and he we'll I'M

He knew it came from the female coti-
gar, an animal which, when aroused
and enraged, has no superior in
strength, activity, and ferocity; a
crash in the brush on the hillside above
him, and a repetition of the frightfluIl
scream that sounded almost human in
its expression. of demoniacal fury,waTn-

preparing to spring. Quick as thought
Wallace leveled his rifle and fired, the
bullet striking the panther in the breast
and initiating a fatal wound. The
cougar leaped fully 10 feet into the AIR,
and fell dead at Wallace's feet. The

Home Appearance.

Did. you ever think, friend, what a
charm there is in good appearanceP
We mean the appearance which agood
toilette-not an expensive one, but
good one-gives, especially to ladyP
A neatly fitting dress; bit of color at
the throat; afower or ribbon in the
hair of shade to match; bright ex-
pectant face to greet the husbands re-
turn; just a little brighter and more
happily expectant than is given to the
coming of any other man. Do you re-
alize how much of sweetest influence
and of happiest effect there is in these
and other home appearances
And then the songs-the old songs
that you used to sing to him in the
sweet days when you We're first loving
him and he was, growing to first, love
you. Have you given them all up2 II
so, why? Is love less sweet than of old?
Are the loving ways less blessed? HAVE
you allowed the nature to grow. old in
the sweet spring season of your endless
life, in which God intended IT should
grow fresher and younger continually
If you are too old to have loving ways
YOU are too old to live. Please die

Not a Case for Relief.

Extract from the proceedings of the

The Committee on the sick reported
that they had been called upon to make
an examination of the case of William

arms and continued: &c De committee

Acknowledgement rownsend,s Report.

The report of the Adjutant- General of the
United States Army has been submitted to
Gen. sherman. 1t accompanies the usual an
nual returns of the Army, embracing the Or
ganizatiou and strength of the latter, and
statements of the position and distribution
of the troops. The number of desertionEa for
the year ending June 80. 1873, was l,67S, or less
than in any year since 1917. The number of
minors discharged since January /, 1867, was
$40. During the fiscal year 1878 the total mum
Der discharged from all causes was 1907; ,
dimintltfon OF army. strength of 5.55S. The
enlistments during the same period were
$780, There were GA patients admitted to the
Governments hospital for the insane from Oc-
were commissioned officers. The Adjutant-
General notices the changes made in depots
for the recruiting service. and says such
changes hare been found beneficial. The
system inaugurated to secure proper
material for the Army has resulted in main
tanning a high standard in the ranks of en-
listed men throughout the army. He re-
news. his Recommendation of last year
for additional legislation authorizing the en-
listment of boys under l6 years old to learn
music, the necessity of the recommendation
lapse of time and experience, The Adjutant-
General is strongly in favor of the old appli-
cation of the 103d article of war, maintaining
that the exception to the limitation clause in
that article was expressly intended to ex-
demns the view of the Judge Advocate Gen
eraI on that subject, that deserters are not
liable to be tried for desertion after two
years, and says that il Is the sentiment of the;
Army at large that the crime of desertion is a
continuous one, not ending so long as the
deserter continues absent from his military
obligation. He thinks that =" should this pro-
posed premium be paid for the offense by
proclaiIning to the Army that a man has only
to lie concealed for a certain period to be
free from all penalty for desertion, military
discipline would soon become by word and

The Sanguine Bride.

A not unusual kind of bride is that
sanguine creature who believes that life
is now to be all honey and butter, and
over the sunny sky. All is SO new-and
it will never grow old! Holiday-t time
has come in perpetuity, and there are
to be no more painful lessons of duty
to learn, and no more disagreeable
tasks of self-suppression to fulfill. Tenn
pers, disputes, peevishness, anxieties,
are buried beneath the sugar and the
almond of the wedding cake, and life is
to be fairy tale, where stthey live hap
PLY for ever after,'' finishes the pic
ture. All the buttons will keep sewed
to the shirts, and there never will be a
pair of socks to darn. If children come
they will be born like SO many little
doves, and give no more trouble than a
covey of little cherubs flirting about the
house. She looks forward to a halcyon
sea which not the faintest ripple is to
disturb, and in her world, blight and
storms are to be unknown. Her, also,
we pity, poor, self-deceiving creature,
taking life as she does at such false
angle, and looking at the dust and ashes
of inevitable decay or sure disappoint-
ment through spectaeles of such delud-
ing rose-color. She has not the
faintest idea that her husband
will ever cease to be her lover, and she
imagines that the poetic exaltation of
the courtship-the raptures of honey
moon-are to continue far into old age.
OF the sense of reality she is absolutely
destitute; and her reasoning faculties
are lost for the time in the rainbow
lined cloud of hope and exultation.
Perhaps her marriage has taken her
from an uncongenial home, and she is
elate and full of hope in consequence.
She was in bondage to an unloved step
mother; she was a governess working
hard for small pay and less considera-
ton; and the love of her husband, the
newness and independence and pleas
antness of her own. home have over
powered her common sense-at least
for the time. Reality will waken her
up soon enough, poor soul! Mean
while we, who see the FOOLS paradisein
which she is living, feel sorry for her,
and anxious to know how she will bear
the waking which has to come to her as
to others-ay! as sure as death has
to come to us all.-London Queen.

The annual report of Gen. Thomas j.

miles, and in annual cost $6t9, l26. The ap-
preparation for railway nail transportation
during the year was S9,2oo,ooO. Inc actual
cost, so far as adjustments were completed,
was S9,066, $780, The amount appropriated
for the current fiscal year is 70, 100000. 1t is
definitely ascertained that $3.50, 900 addition

ice for 1879, II no further funds are sup
piled by Congress, service TO the above
amount must be discontinued. 1t is esti-
mated that SIC, 25o,000 will be required for

protection of the frontier.
In regard to the removal of the Sioux, OF
the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies,
Gen. Crook says:
"The Indians seemed distrustful of the
promises made them by the President, and
feared they would not be Carried out in good
faith. Alter many assurances that they
would be carried out they consented to the
removal. Upon my arrival at the agencies,
Oct II, found part of the Indian supplies
exhausted, and the remainder would be at
the end of the month. I also found that the
partment for the removal of the Indians
could not possibly reach them in time.
Therefore. prompt action was necessary.
With the consent of higher authority
sisted the Indians by scraping together all of
the Army transportation within reach, i'm
promising many teams of broken down cav
airy horses. By mulch effort many of the In
dams going on foot, and by their consentfng
to subsist on beef during the march, was
finally able to get them off. Had l been

them, it would have been impossible for the
move to- have been made in time

DANIEL BULL MCCARTHY, of the
County of Kerry, Ireland, died 1852,
aged Ill. At the age of 81 he married
a fifth wife, a girl little more than IA
years of age, by whom he had 20 chill
dren-one every subsequent year of his
life. 1t was remarked that he was
scarcely ever seen to expectorate; nor
did any extent of cold seem to affect
him. For the last 70 years of his life,
when in company, he drank plentifully
of rum and brandy, which he always
took neat; and if in compliance with
solicitations he took wine or punch, al
ways drank an equal-sized glass of rum
or brandy, which he designated wedge.
The temperature of his body was gen.
orally so hot that he could bear but lit
tie clothing, either by day or night, up
on his person.
