education and great wealth. She might
have lived q life of ease and luxury, but

wealth In doing good to her race especl-

Texan Manifestation of Friend


yirginis (Sev.) Chronicle J
A friend gives US the following lit
tie anecdote as Illustrative of the
neighberly love of the people of Tex
as: He and Texan, who was con-
templatiDg the purchase Of a ranch
some where in Truckee Meadows,
were out on horseback looking at
the farms and cattle ranges along
the river. AS they leisurely follow
ed the meanderings OF the stream
they presently saw two horsemen on
the opposite bank. As the two par
ties approached each other the Tex
an with our friend recognized in one
of the men on the opposite bank of
the river an old friend and a man
who was enc of his nearest neigh
bers at home. The Two men hailed
each other from the opposite banks
of the stream, and exchanging greet
ings, many friendly questions were
put and answered. The men were
evidently delighted to meet each
other. and their only regret appeared
to be that they encountered one an.
other in place where it was impossi-
bic for them to clasp and shake
hands, the river not being fordable
Oh account of its swiftness and the
rocky and treacherous nature of its
channel, while the nearest bridge
was five miles above. Both men la
mented these unfortunate circum
stances very much, but at length a
way of getting over the difficulty
suggested itselfto the drOver, who 9
pet name was "Broncho Bill"

Sam then turned to our friend and
with tears in his eyes said: God

TINS curious weapon, peculiar 10 the native
Australian, has often proved a puzzler to men
Of science. 1t is piece of carved wood,
nearly IN the form OF a crescent, from 30 to 40
inches long pointed at both ends, and the cor
ner quite sharp. The mode of using 1t is quite
as singular as the weapon. Ask black TO
throw 1t SO as to fall at his feet, and away 1t
goes full 40 yards before him, skImming alon Q
the surface at 3 or feet from the ground, when
it will suddenly rise in the air 40 or 90 feet, de-
scrlbing a curve and finally drop at the feet OF
the thrower. During its course it reyolves
with great rapidity as on pivot, with whiz.

people should have invented so singular a
weapon, which sets laws of progression at de-
fiance. 1t is very dangerous for European
to try to project it at any object, as it may re-
