termined to kill the forager if they could
not capture him. 1t was square race
for mile or more, every horse doing
his best.
The Yankee trooper saw no chance
for him. If the saddle turned bit
more he would be thrown to the ground !;
if it held as it was he could not hope to
escape all the bullets being sent after
him. They whizzed over and around
him, cutting his clothes and grazing his
horse, and failure to hit him only en-
cOuraged the pursuers to renewed exer-
tons. When he reached the farmhouse
where the woman had refused to sell
him poultry she was at the gate He
could not see her, but she let her pres
ence be known. Realizing his situation,
she clapped her hands in vigorous
manner and cried out to the guerrillas /:
- Catch him-shoOt him-kiH him -
Hanks horse was a race-mare of South
ern blood. Had he been sitting in his
saddle she would soon have distanced
pursuit. Even encountered as she was,
having heavy man hanging to her side,
she more than held her distance. After
passing the farmhouse she had only halt
a mile to go to reach the picket. When
half of this distance had been passed
the road. They did not seek to stop the
mare, but standing side by side, revolvers
ready, they fired together as the fugitive
came opposite, meaning to kill the horse.
How they could have missed her is a
puzzle, but not one of the three bullets
struck the gallant little animal, and in
another minute she was over the hill.
FOrgetful or ignorant of the picket
the guerrillas followed, but a
volley wounded three and drove the rest
back in confusion. One of the wounded
men stated that he himself had fired
eighteen shots in that race, and his
amazement that man and horse could
run such a gauntlet and come out alive
was as great as any other of the picket.
When Hank came to shake himself and
look for damages hefound that his CLOTH
ing had been cut by three different bull
lets, his horse blazed by two, and that a
ball had shivered the stock of his revolv-
er. His right foot was thrown over the
horse, and the No. 9 cavalry boot thus
exposed had been struck on the thick
heel and half of it torn away. Few men
ever had closer shave, and yet Hank
was out foraging as usual next day

they simply make an affirmation and
not an invocation. The writer with very
good reason holds that the prayer should

Nor very long ago there appeared in
several German papers an advertise
ment, emanating from a SOi-diSa71t doc
tor at Geneva, offering in consideration
of the small sum of two francs, to give
a receipt for the radical cure of cOrns.
For a while the trick answered, and the
man did a flOurishing business until the
chief of the Geneva police, getting wind
of it through lady at Berlin, who was
not precisely satisfied with the value she
had received for her two francs, put a
summary stop TO his proceedings. His

tatiOn of the suffering toe, for which
purpose he recommended a saw of his
own invention, guaranteed to perform

A STRONG feeling of luminosity is
growing up between Russia and Ger
many, and there are politicians and
journalists on both sides who make no
secret of their wish for trial of strength
between the two countries. Germany Is
certainly taking precautions that seem
to provide for the worst. Ten thousand
workmen are labOring on the fortifica-
tons of the fortress of Thorn, which is
called the Strasburg of Germany's east
ern border. The fortress of POsen has
also been immensely strengthened and
enlarged, and can now accommodate a
large army. A considerable part of the
indemnity payments made by France
has been expended upon these fortifica-
tons and in furnishing them with enOr-

EEFOurteenth Siding ga Romance of
the Plains.

Yesterday, in coming up the road,
writes Il correspondent of the Madison
Journal, | witnessed Il scene which to a
s. States" man could not but have a mel
anchOly, though romantic aspect. There
was bridal couple aboard the train.
He was pleasant, intelligent-appear-
ing young man, with evidence of farm
training and fair education. She was
as fair as Maud Muller, the day the
Judge met her in the tabled field of evil
IDENTITY far superior training to her sturdy
cOnsOrt, she was one of the lOveliest and
brightest and gayest brunettes one may
meet in years of long extended jaunts.
She had a handbook, evidently contain
ing her summer hat; a guitar carefully
wrapped in an embroidered bag, of a
workmanship so exquisite as to have
been her own; a music roll, a shawl
strap encasing two or three of the latest
novels; and all the miscellaneous sach-
els and bundles with which the average
young lady possesses herself on pill
grimage to the sea shore or on a tour to
Aunt Betsy's, among the rural hills.
The brakeman hOarsely called ''FOur-
teenth Sidingi" There was not build
ing in sight save the one-rOomed 6X10
| shanty barracOon of the switchman, and
| the eye lost itself trying to fathom the
! dreary beyond. This was the stopping
place of the bride and her groom. He
was taking her to his new home, sc
miles back on the plains; but there was
! no one to meet them as expected, and
| the threadlike trail disappeared over the
| horizon, five miles away, with no sign
of a greeting team. 1t seemed like q
dark revelation to the poor girl; it was
! the first test of devotion to her husband
and a severe one. On being lifted
/ down from the car steps she gazed
around in the utmost dismay; then,
with a quick, beseeching glance into the
young mans face, down which sympa-
thetic tears were streaming, despite his
| evidently brave resolution, the bride OF
the plains sank into his arms and sob
bed aloud. The scene told its OWL
melancholy story, and visibly affected
the hundred or more spectators who had
crowded to the platforms, as usual upon
all occasions of leaving a passenger or
a siding. Let us hope that the messen-
gers from that far-away home finally
reached % Fourteenth Siding" and thai
a husbands love may soon be an al
sufficient solace for the city-bred bride
so suddenly transported to the treeless
WildS of Dakota.

Miss Macdonald, Lawyer.

A novel spectacle was presented, on
Saturday, in the appearance of wom-
an arguing a case before Judge Blatch-
ford in the United States Circuit Court.
Her name is Helen Marie Macdonald,
and she appeared to argue a motion for
an Injunction TO restrain the infringe
ment of a patent on aninvention for pro-
tecting the bottoms of ladies' dresses.
Miss Macdonald is a silver-haired and
rather stout maiden of 40 She was
dressed in a business suit of check ma
terial with hat to match, and wore a
half veil while speaking. Abiding to
T. n. Dickerson, who was opposed to
her, she said she was astonished at the
audacity of the man in misrepresenting
her case. She spoke with much feeling,
and declared that she believed that at
least one Of the alleged previous discoy,
erers of her invention had in reality no
existence. Miss Macdonaldis from Bos-

The Jews in Palestine.

The land of the promised inheritance
is rapidly becoming their own in fee. If
we compare the present time with SO
years ago, when the Sublime Porte per-
mitted only 800 to live within the walls
of the Holy City, the change is remark
able. Forty years since the Porte mod
fled this original order so that a larger
number abide there; but they were shut
up in narrow filthy quarters, next to the
dog and leper quarters, the object of
contempt and cruel expressions. But
even this quarter restriction was re-
moved ten years ago. And now the
ruling power is in the hand of Great
Britain, and the scepter itself in the
hand of an Israelite, and Baron Roths-
child holds a mortgage on Palestine as
security for 200, 100000 francs loaned to
the Sultan of Turkey. 1t looks very
much as if accomplished fact had put
itself in the place of prophecy.
The Jews, after the quarter restric-
tions were removed, bought all the land
which could be obtained within the
gates, and have built entire streets of
houses without the gates. With the i'm
provements inevitable from liberty and
the possession of homes have come kim

given $4,000 francs to found school of
agriculture and, in evidence of prog
ress that shows divine care and inter-
vention, the number of Jews have
doubled in about ten years. In 1869
there were not more than 1000 Jews,
shut up in their quarters, and though a
vast improvement in the past, still they
appear to us wretched enough to make
the most careless sigh over the mighty
fallen. But in the five succeeding years
they increased to more than 13,O00-N.

Short Crops in Germany.

The failure of the potato crop in Eu-

ship than in some parts of Germany.
Last spring the German newspapers
were full of startling descriptions Of
people suffering for want of food in the
forest region of Spessart. While the
Government was expanding enormous
sums upon Notifications and soldiery,
official Investigations revealed the fact
that over three-fourths of ali the inhabit-
ants of the Spessart district were IN pitt

Germany said of this impoverished pop

is no such general industrial depression

too weak to work. In one village 1t
was reported that wild hogs that had

Greater than even this and more widely
diffused must the suffering be during
the coming year, unless means of relief
are promptly provided.-Ne1o York sam.
