again took the weapon from him, and in
doing so it was discharged aud a young
lady on the sidewalk fell. Fastening to
her the doctor found she lad been shot in

her. While the doctor was in the hospital
the negro had taken and loaded the pistol.

Why Ben. Butler Was Not a Minister.


Mr.. Benjamin Butler was in his youth
destined by his mother to become Baptist
minister, and she sent him to Watervile
College for preparation. NIr. Bland, a
biographer, relates that one of the pro-
fessors delivered sermon in the. chapel, in
which he said 81. None but the elect can
be saved. 2. Of the so-called Christians
probably not more than one in a hundred
will be saved. 3. Heather people will
'fhave more consideration of the Almighty
'in future life than men of Christian ma.
lions, who hear, but do not profit by the
word of God" After hearing this sermon
.yovag Butler petitioned the faculty to
relieve him from further attendance upon
preaching, upon the ground that according
10 the proportion stat ed, not above six per-
Sons in the college could possibly be saved /;
and as there were nine worthy professors,
all of whom were doctors of divinity, it
you'd he presumptuous for him, poor
student, to hope for even the remotest
chance of salvation hence, in attending
church he was only making his damnation
more certain and terrible.

writing them receipt with pencil which

he erased all the pencil writing and wrote
promissory notes for 800 and $3.50 and
sold 5000 of such notes to a bank.

Destructive Fires.

Sioux CRY, March 8i.--The journal
has startling reports Of ravages of destruct-
i've prairie fires up the Big Sioux Valley
aud through out southern Dakota. The
fires on Saturday were of unusual force
aud destructive beyond precedent. The
poles on the telegraph line on the Sioux
City and Pembina Railroad were burned,
so that the line has been down, aud reports
from that quarter are not full. A mer-
chant of Eden says that on Saturday from
his store-door he counted thirteen farm
houses In flames, and that more than forty
farmers in that vicinity have lost every
thing-houses, barns, seed, grain, etc. A
large Norwegian church five miles from
Eden was burned. In the same neghbor-
hood child is reported fatally burned,
and its father was terribly burned in his
efforts to save its life. Northwest of Belot
a Norwegian named Nicholson while work
ing to save his property was caught in the
fire and so badly burned that he cannot
live. Two other men in the same locality
were burned to death. In the vicinity of
Portlandvile not less than twenty families
have had their homes destroyed. West of
Elk Point, Mr.. Richardson lost large
amount of grain. The school house, with
all its contents, was burned. At White
Swan, opposite Fort Randall, the telegraph
Office, with all its effects, was burned, as
the operator reports from Yankton agency.
AT tue same place the government stables
were burned, but the stock is saved. Al
together immense damage has been done,
and the hardship to settlers is particularly
severe. The grass grew very rank last
year, aud the protracted dry spell has
made it powerful food for a fire.

A man visiting lodging camp in Maine
forgot to take his mittens with him when
he left, and did not miss them until he
was mile away. He then wrote note

with the mittens in his month.

Exploring the Prisoners Cells.

The Virginia New Chronicle
says: AS they now have pretty rough
lot of customers at the county Jail, it
was yesterday thought worth while to
overhaul all the cells in order to see
what was going on among the prison.
ers. Sticking into the under side of a
bench they found a large jack-knife,
which had been ground to sort of dag
ger point, making it an ugly weapon
An ordinary case knife was found which
had been sharpened till it would shave
like razor; also, case knife which
had been made into q saw. A Chinese
opium pipe was found rolled up in
some blankets, and several lots of opium
were brought to light, one lot being
found in the possession of white man.
In one of the Chinese cells was found
an opium pipe, manufactured in the
Jail, which is quite curiosity. 1t is
constructed of soda bottle, into one
side of which has been drilled hole
but little larger than common PIN

rapidly between the palm of the hands.
Several thiOknesses of paper passed over
the bottle to prevent it cracking when
held against the flame of a candle in
smoking, and stem was fitted in the
neck of the bottle by splitting stick,
cutting a groove in it, and then fas ten

rude pipe showed signs of having given

nameY"
"She is Mrs. Page--a widow"
"Ah |" exclaimed William, and his
cordiallty to degree vanished.
"Let me introduce you," said his
father.
"No, am dusty and tired I'll make
my own way. They say she is staying
with the Montgomerys.
Mrs. Page began to be very weary
with all these complications. She felt
hemmed in, beleaguered, by the Lees,
and was taking brisk morning walk
on dusty highway toward neighbor-
ing town, in hopes to escape them for
time. Some one, however, was in swift
pursuit; she felt that it was Lee. The
footsteps gained upon her.
"Alicel'' exclaimed full, melodious
voice; and William Lee seized 10th her
hands. g. Alice, is 1t really you ?''
Mrs. Page trembled and grew very
pale. He placed her on large stone
which stood conveniently near, and sat
down beside her. 3" Alice, where were
you? l travelled over Europe in search
of you. Will you forgive me, my dar-
ling, my suspicious, my anger, my alb
surb jealousy ?"
Mrs. Page closed her eyes and tears
rolled down her cheeks.
AT this juncture Mr.. Lee senior,
breathless with his chase after her, came
up. He felt that this was a scene, and
waited for explanations.
"My dearest father" exclaimed Will
liam, rising and seizing his arm, she
loves both of us, but she promised to
marry me first. am sorry" he con-
tinued ruefully.
Dear Mr.. Lee" said Mrs. Page, seiz-
ing his other arm, "you are so like him
your bearing, your smile, your tones
really, if 1 could not have married
William must have married YOU"
A cloud passed for moment over
Mr.. Lees face, but during his seventy
years, whenever there were heroic, un-
selfish qualities to be displayed, he was
never wanting.
My DEAR" he said in that pleasant
voice so like his sons, turning with
kindly courtesy toward her-"my dear,
it is best as it is-more natural, more
appropriate"
And to think it was papa's favorite,
William, that broke off the match, after

An Adventure Among Savages.
CONCLUDED.

MTE HAD not long to wait, before
w the dark Gordon of naked forms
came closing up around us, with slow
and measured movement, for it was
evident they thought we knew nothing
of their approach. They were within
thirty yards of us, the Irishman con-
spicuous by his popularity of figure and
gait, when L touched Dick, the boat
steerer, on the arm, and gave the word
in whisper, Nowl Make an end of
him!''
At the same time, 1 brought my own
gun to sight, to send second bullet
in the same direction, in case the first
one missed its mark. But there was no
need. The report from Dicks musket
was followed by yell-a veritable Irish
yell-and Barney fell in his tracks. No
further sound came from him; but the
sonorous wall of many savage voices
attested the establishment and awe of
the natives, as they seemed, for the
moment, to hesitate in their attack.
A sudden thought struck me. There
was a hideous idol fixed against one of
the posts in our prison, directly front
ing the door; and 1 bethought me of
making it still more hideous, by smear
ing it with phosphorus. We all had
friction-matches in our pockets, and
Dick, in particular, being famous
smoker, had brought about half a bunch
on shore with him.
1t was the work of a moment to rub
the face of the idol with the luminous
substance in which the match had been
dipped. Its great circular eyes, and
hideous grinning mouth appeared as if
shooting forth flame, and the effect was
startling, even to us who understood the
cause.
1t was at this moment that the boldest
of the barbarians rushed up to the door
and threw it open from the outside. We
stood at bay in the darkness, reserving
our fire, in readiness for the worst. But
single glance into the building was
enough for the leaders, who thought
themselves, as indeed they were, the
bravest of their tribe. They saw only
their god glaring at them with fiery
eyes, as they thought, and breathing
flame from his capacious jaws.
Jurawarra Jurawarra !" was yelled
from score of savage throats, in most
discordant concert; the cry was taken
up by all the rest, and there was general
rush for view at the terrible object,
though no one ventured to approach it.
The first assailants had fallen back a
short distance, and stood with eyes fixed
upon the fiery apparition, spellbound
and awe-stricken, still repeating the cry

A DESPATCH from Kemp.r county,
Mississippi, says "there will certainly
be riot if Hrury Gully Gone of the
Chisolm murderers) is Convicted" and
we observe that some of the Southern
papers are preparing to put the respon-
slbility for such an outbreak upon the
Republican party. The Louisville "Cou.
rier Journal" for example, says, "Ev-
erybody understands that the R-publi-
cans would give a good deal to have
Mrs. G. shot at or insulted, and the
Republican leaders are just the fellows
to hire some scoundrel from Northern
slum to do it for the political effect Of
the thing" 1t is remarkable that they
do not charge the murder OF Miss CIis-
olm and her little brother upon some
scoundrel from Northern slum.
