A Buffalo Fight.
From Casscll's Natural Hist ry.

From Casscll's Natural Hist ry.
The Cape buffalo is found all over Gem
trail and South Africa, and is a formidable
animal when wounded, as, quite regard
less of the cloud of smoke which follows
the shot aimed at it, 1t charges right
through it, and so does frequently injury to
the experienced hunter. Its general color
is blue-black but in some places it has a
reddish tingc. The Hon. w. H. Drum
mond gives the following account of a
fight between two bulls Of which he was
an eyewitness. After having had his at
tention attracted by a loud, gathering
noise, he remarks that, ION looking
through the edge Of the last thicket which
had concealed them, | saw two buffalo
bulls standing facing each other with low
cred heads, and, as sat down to watch,
they rushed together with all their force,
producing the loud crash | had before
heard. Once the horns were interlocked
they kept them so, their straining quar-.
ters telling that each was doing his best
to force the other backward. Several
long white marks in their necks showed
where they had received scratches, and
blood dripping over the wthers of the one
next me proved that he had received a
more serious wound. 1t was a magnifi.
cent sight to see the enormous animals,
every muscle at is fullest tension, striving
for the mastery. Soon one, very large
and old bull, began to yield little, going
backward step by step; but at last, as If
determined to conquer or die, it dropped
on to its knees. The other, disengaging
its horns for a second, so as to give an i'm.
petus, again rushed at him, but, whittier
purposely or not | could not tell, it did
not strike him on the forehead, but on the
neck, under the bump, and could see
that with twist of the horns he inlictt d
severe wound. However, instead of fol.
lowing up his seeming advantage, he at
once recoiled, and stood half facing his
antagonist, who, getting on his legs again,
remained in the same position for several
minutes, and then with low grunt of
rage rushed at him. This time he was
not met, and his broad forehead struck
full on his rivals shoulder, almost knock
ing him over. The old bull then went a
few yards off and stood watching the other
for fully quarter of an hour, when he
walked slowly away in the opposite lirec-
tion.

AT THE MASQUERADE.

rom the Oil City Derrick.
II was at the masquerade
Where pressed
Dainty fingers of maid
| was blcst Ia,
What murmurcd in her ear,
Which inclined to mine no near,
May be guessed.
She was masked, but yet knew
That her face
Rlvaled rosy Dawn in hue
And the grace
That her presence fair distilled,
And my raptured senses thrilled,
Grew apacc.
Oh the batteries Of her eyes
Thrilled me through
With their ire-l like the skies,
Azure-bluc.
How trembled when she glanced,
Charmed, bew!licrcd, cFazrd, cntranccd
SO would You.
Why do bright dreams ever fade,
Leaving chills?
Why are blttorej doses made
Sugarod pills!
Why so near and yet so far,
Almost through the gates aiar,
When it kills2
While urged my Love to dare.
Like knife
Came her cutting answer there,
Taking life;
"George, you are the biggest fool
Ever scaped from wOman's riile''--
Twas my wife!

EXCELSIOR
REAPING & MOVING
M ACHINES.

w HAT constitutes Combined Machine
w is one fingerbar and two knives for
moving, and one fingerbar and sickle for
reaping, besides extra sections and guards
with rivets for repairs.
Less than five minutes will change the
Excelsior from a Reaper with the reaper
attachment to Mower with the mower
attachment; in either case ii is perfect
machine, and as such it stands unchal-
lenged before the world. 1t Is perfect
mower, reaper or n combined machine.
The rcaping attachment is either drop
per, a self-rake or both, making perfect
machine in either form. 1t is made en-
tirely of iron and steel, except the tongue
and lift lever; it also has separate lever
for fitting the points Of the fingers or
guards up or down both in reaping or
moving; it also has an adjustable reel
which can be raised or lowered by lever
whilst the machine is cutting.
As Simplicity of Construction is indie
alive of efficiency and also marks the ge-
Mus of the inventor, we take pleasure In
asserting that one person can successfully
operate the Excelsior, and this may be
done by boy or an aged man toe feeble
to work in any other part of the field
such is the ease of management. Two
Independent Drive Wheels, of large di-
ametef, lmpaft greater power anu caise
the machine to run easier on uneven
ground, and this, and our accurate and
beautiful proportional gearing, are the
main reasons why the Excelsior runs so
easily and lasts so long. The Excelsior
has the reputation of being the lightest
draft machine in the country. The draft
has been tested in different conditions of
grass and uneven ground at various times,
and is found to range from $50 to 200
pounds. We furnish two sizes:
TIE MEDIUM IRON FRAME,
AND THE JUNIOR IRON FRAME.
We also furnish lighter class machine.
The EMPIRE MOWER AND REAPER,
which defies competition as first-class
machine.
The Excelsior Machines were sold in
this county some II or il years years ago,
and are being used at this time. Many
valuable improvements have since been
added. Send for circulars giving full
description of machines. Sold by
