GALVESTON June9.-A News Eagle
Pass special says that early yesterday
morning a company Of infantry
at Pietras Negras mutinedand fought
their way through the guards at
the gate. About fifteen crossed to
this side under heavy fire from
the loyal troops, who continued
firing after the deserters had landed,
many Of the balls striking the houses
of this place.
The fugitives surrendered their
arms to the citizens and will be re-
turned to Mexico. A number of
mutineers were killed on the Mexican
side. The cause of desertion is, the
troops have been six months without
pay and nothing to eat.
Yesterday evening the Mexican
troops marched outside of the city
with two captured mutineers, whom
they we're going to shoot, but a strong
protest from the citizens caused the
execution to be abandoned.

Archery clubs in England.

The Witchery Of Archery
The game of archery is as old as
history, but, like everything else con-
nected with long-bow shooting. it was
brought to perfection in England
Turing the period between the con-
quest and the date of the adoption of
firearms for the infantry of Great
Britain. For, although the great
lristocratic societies OF toxopholites
were kept alive no sooner had guns
supplanted the bow in the hands of
the English yeomanry than archery
began to c%onfine itself within the
bound set by the wealthy and exclu-
sive. The great butt. fields made for
public shooting were gradually aban-
doned and dismantled, and all the
archery tournaments were confined
to the beautifully Ornamented parks
belonging to the old societies or to the
lawns prepared at the country seats of
gentlemen and mobiles. who patronized
the sport. Some of the prizes offered
at the meetings of the several societies
having royal and noble patronage are
most magnificent and contests for
them have developed a high degree OF
accuracy in shooting. The Wood

has three prizes exclusively for

and the third and highest a gold

MADAME PAsHKOFF.
Attempted Suicide Of a Famous Russian
AuthOress- Interesting Sketch
Of Her Life and Works.

Odessa has just witnessed the at
tempted suicide of Nine Pashkof,
one Of the most talented Of modern
Russian novelists. Her career, as
sketched by the Golos, is singularly
varied and full of interest. Her father
was a bahrin, or serf proprietor, of the
old school, the owner of 1000 souls,
and a descendant of the ancient Tar,
tar princes. He was of an exceedingly
despotic temperament, and brought up
his daughter according to masculine
principles, teaching her to wrestle, to
fence, to use the sword and revolver,
and to ride astride on horseback like
a man. AT the age of sixteen she
wrote her first novel" The Princess
Vaira Glenski which at once took
the public taste and made her name
famous among the elite of Moscow. A
year later her father married her off
hand to a man she did not see previous
to the night Of the betrothal, and it is
not surprising to learn in consequence
that at nineteen she was already
divorced and living alone in
her fathers Moscow mansion.
Here she created one of the
most Fashionable salons of the old cap
ital, and in the very zenith of her
popularity married Pashkof, the
millionaire, and retired for a twelve
month to his mining estate in the
Urals. Her second husband was
appointed Russian agent in Egypt.
and she accompanied him thither. and
before long had the rare and singular
honor Of dining alone with the vice
roy. firing of leading the Russian
colony at Cairo, she set out on n
journey through Syria and Palestine
not combining herself, like ordirary
lady tourists to the main roads. but
roaming about in the most unsettled
districts. On her return to the
Mediterranean, she went on a Yacht
