The Overawed Gambler.

The cool, unfinching gaze Of q brave
man, it Is said, win awe Q tiger. The
statement is perhaps an exaggerated
one, but we will tell an incident Of q
man whose eye awed human tiger.
Some forty years ago, the citizens Of
Natchez, aroused by the excuses of the
gamblers infesting their city, drove
them out, and threatened them with
death if they ever returned. Promi-
nent among those citizens were Capt.
Quitman, q leading lawyer of Natchez.
A month or two later, he and a small
band crossed into Texas to aid those
who were fighting Santa Anna and his
Mexicans. Late one night QuitMan ar-
rived at San Augustine, where he found
the people overawed by large gang Of
gamblers, some of whom had lately
come from Natchez. They recognized
him and resolved to haverevenge. Quit
man CHARTERED his men In q large build
ing, while he occupied room in an ad-
jacent house. He had just taken of bis
coat, when the door was thrown vio-
lently open. A tall, fierce-looking man
entered. In his belt was bowie knifo,
and in his right hand he held pistol
Fortunately, Quitman had not laid aside
his belt-pistols, and drawing one he
raised it quickly, so that tho man was
covered by it.
IL know you and you know me-" he
said, looking the gambler calmly In tho
eye. II desire no quarrel with you, but
don't fear YOU"
The gambler glared at him for mo-
ment, and then, his features relaxing
into smile, said
Captain, you're a brave man, and !
will be your friend,' and he retired,
quietly closing the door after him.
A few weeks after, the war being at
nm end, Capt. Quitman was returning
home overland, accompanied only by
his negro servant. Crossing small
stream, and mounting the bank, which
had dense underwood on both sides, he
found two trees felled across the path.
Suspecting that he was in trap, he
turned and saw three men, armed with
guns, coming up in the rear. He could
neither advance nor retreat. Instantly
springing to the ground, he drew his,
pistol, and placed the horse between
himself and the robbers. The sharp
crack of rifle behind him, and the rush
of the ball over his head, caused him to
turn. Seeing the gambler whom he had
met at San Augustine galloping his horse
at full speed towards him, he prepared
to sell his life as dearly as possible. The
man, dropping his gun to show that no
was not an enemy, approached. Recog-
nizing Quitman, he said:
"Captain, I'm mighty glad l had the
chance to serve you. l and my partners
were coming this way, and l, being in
the advance, saw, as I turned the angle
of the path, the situation. Let's see If I
hit one of those robbers"
On searching, they found traces of
blood, but no signs of the robbers.
Some years after, this gambler was
convicted of gambling, and sentenced to
six months imprisonment and one thou
sand dollars fine. Quitman paid one
half of the fine. The gambler, It is said,
subsequently reformed, and became an
estmable man, respected by all who
knew him.-Yoqlth's Companion.

has been started in England to promote
the emigration of the ''superAuoue
women" to tho colonies.
The removal of the animals from the
Geological Gardens at Castle Shannon,
Pa, was a rather exciting affair. The
collection embraced bears, buffalo,
deer, wolves, foxes, wildcats, blood
hounds, spitz dogs, opossums, raccoons,
cockatoos, parrots, paroquets, monkeys,
chickens and other beasts and birds too
numerous to mention. A fearful fight
occurred between a monkey named
Greeley, three feet tall, and Mr.. Frizzle,
his keeper, which, after lasting nearly q
quarter of an hour, was closed by an at
tendant killing the animal to save Mr..
Frizzle's life. As it is, he is dangerously
wounded, the tendons of one wrist be-
ing severed, besides many other wounds
inflicted. The animals had grown. to
like the locality, and objected one and
al to being transferred to cages.
AN accident occurred on the Columbia
River, Oregon, q few days ago, which
strikingly illustrates the human instincts
and sympathy that exist in animals. A
number Of horses were being conveyed
on the boat, when, during commotion
among them, one was kicked and had
its leg broken. 1t was decided to kill
the poor brute and put it out of misery.
He was dispatched by an ak in the hands
OF one of the employees Of the boat. The
celebrated old thoroughbred running
stallion, Delaware, was quietly watch
ing the movement, and just as the blow
was struck he gave q loud scream and
fell backward with q shower Of blood
streaming from his nostrils. For up
ward of three hours his agonies were
fearful, and it was thought he would die,
but he finally rallied and may recover.
Delaware IS eighteen years old and has
9 national reputation, having beaten
Anseland other celebrated champions
Of the turf. He is owned by Hon. ]. w.
iNesmith, late Senator from Oregon.

Capital and Labor On the Big Farms
OF Dakota,

We spent an evening in the comfort
able home of one of the superintend-
ents, and heard him explain the system
of bookkeeping. Every man is en-
gagged by contract, for a certain time,
to do certain work, for certain wages.
He receives his money on presenting to
the cashier time check certifying the
amount and nature of his labor. The
average price paid to hands is $18 a
month and board. In harvest they get
1926 a day. A record is kept by the
foreman of the amount of wheat turned
out by each thresher, by the driver of
each wagon of the amount of wheat
loaded by him, and by the receiver at
the elevator of the amount of wheat
brought in by each team. All the farm
machinery and the provisions are
bought at first hands for wholesale
prices. Mules and horses are bought
in St. Louis. Wheat is not stacked or
stored, but shipped to market ~
rapidly as possible. Every thing
is regulated by an exact system,
and this is what makes the farms q
success.
Brains and energy in the man who
controls them and in those whom he
chooses as his subordinate officers this
is the secret of the enormous profits
which have been made on the Dalrym-
pie farms. The cost of raising the first
crop is about $11 an acre; each subse-
quent crop costs So. The average yield
for this year was about nineteen bushels
to the acre. This could be sold at Fargo
on October l for 80 cents bushel. A
brief calculation will give you 1920 per
acre profit on the new land, and 1870
for all the rest; or, say, $4,000 gain
on one crop. These figures 1 believe to
be too small, rather than too large.
But does this large farming pay for
the country 1t absefbs great tracts Of
land, and keeps out smaller farmers. It
employs tramps, who vanish when the
harvest is over, instead of increasing the
permanent population. It exhausts the
land. The cultivation is very shallow.
There is no rotation of crops. Every
thing is taken from the ground; moth.
ingis returned to it, Even the straw is
burned. The result of this is that the
average crop from any given acre grows
smaller every year, and it is simply a
question of time under the present sys.
tenn how long it will take to exhaust the
land Henry j. Van Dyke, Jr., IN Ha,'

a Mystery Explained.

On Sunday evening says the Roches-
ter Herald, the residents in the southern
suburbs were startled by heavy roar as
of distant thunder, accompanied by a
trembling of the earth. This lasted but
a few seconds, and the general opinion
was that slight earthquake had taken
place. Telephone dispatches received
from Richmond Mills last evening ex-
plains the mystery in another way. 1t
appears that well known soicety young
man was showing some young ladies at
the mills how to swing in hammock.
The lesson proceeded successfully until
the fastening broke, and the young man
aforesaid struck the ground in the shape
of the letter V. The roaring was caused
by his remarks, and the trembling of the
earth by the sudden contact of something
less than three hundred pounds Of hu-
manity

CLIPPED COINS.
Difficulties in the Way of stopping ysnay
ish Practice.
n = HcrnId


The HrGid has several times during
the past year called attention TO th,
habit of puncturing the silver coin in
general circulation. A few months agc
the law on the subject-showing the
penalties for debasing coin by clipping
or puncturing-appeared in its columns
Until very recently the stoeling of silver
was chiefly confined to half dollars and
quarters. During the past month il has
been very generally noticed and COM
mented upon that ten and five cent
pieces have been also clippel. In all
offices under the control OF the Federal
Government, coins that have been thus
tampered with are refused. The car and
railroad companies have followed very
GENERALLY the example of the Govern
ment authorities and refuse TO receive
them. The exceptions are the bobtail
cars and stages in which the locked
boxes are in use, and of course no ex-
animation of the coin can be made by
the drivers of these vehicles. A report
er of the Herdh, who had read the sug-
gestions that all persons should combine
and refuse TO receive mutiated coin
after October |, in riding upon the Third
avenue surface and elevated roads has
noticed that conductors of the former
and ticket sellers of the latteer, in giving
chance, are in the habit Of forcing these
mutilated COINS upon passengers.
Entering q Third avenue horse-car on
Friday afternoon the reporter received
in change from conductor No. 76 a five
cent silver piece with large hole in it.
lie handed it back to the conductor, po-
litcly declining to receive 1t. The con-
ductor became very indignant, and re-
fused to redeem it, when the reporter
informed him that he would be ccm-
pelled to report him at the Office. The
Young man acted in such an insolent
manner that an officer ST the American
District Telegraph Company handed his
card to the reporter and requested him
to present il TO President Lyon as a wit
ness TO the conduct of the conductor.
The matter was early yesterday called
to the attention OF Mr. Lyon, who stated
that he wished the public to understand
that the company will not receive any
mutilated coin from their conductors,
and every passenger ought to insist up
on receiving unclipped change from the
conductors. He declared his determina-
ton to act promptly in the case of No. 76,
and expressed the nope that other pa
irons Of the road wonld report any con-
ductor who should endeavor to pass
mutilatcd currency upon them.
Later United States Commissioner
Duel was asked as to his Interpretation
of the law. Reading it over carefully,
he said that, while there was heavy
penalty provided in the case of any one
detected IN the act of mutilating coin,
there is no penalty for passing 1T. He
expressed the hope that some OF the sill
yer thic YES might be captured and pun
ished so severely that others who follow
the nefarious business would take warn
ing.

Old MaIds' Association.

The Gid Maids Association of Geauga
Co., o., had picnic ON the lake re cent
ly, and mustered Sc souls. This society
was an outgrowth of the war, and was
organized IN 1862 by bevy of young
ladies whose brothers and sweethearts
were fighting for their country, and left
them without the resources Of male
escort, except the laggards who remained
at home. Unwilling to accept the gal
lantry of these young men, the young
ladies' preferred to depend upon them
selves, and formed the association men,
toned. Out OF revenge the gallants
dubbed these Independent damsels "old
maids" and they accepted the cogno-
men and made it their own. A humoi-
ous constitution and bylaws were draft
ed by Mrs. c. Ii. Henry, then a single
young lady and one of the founders of
the institution. Man was declared the
common enemy" and one of the chic
objects of the society was a continued
war against his advances. He was rel-
gious,y excluded from all meetings and
special clause of the bylaws said that
any member who should marry should
be fined 100 big copper cents, and be
branded in tar on the soles of her feet

steel Boilers.

In an article on steel boilers the En-
gineer says: "While we admit that
excellent boilers have been made OF
steel, and may be made OF steel. we can
not shut our eyes to the truth that a
great deal of an apparently admirable
metal is quite unsuitable for this purpose.
Thus Bessemer steel, it is sald, can not
be used for boiler plates with any Ger.
tainty of obtaining a satisfactory result,
and the reason appears to be this; the
whole process of clearing some five tons
or so OF iron from carbon, silicion, and
other impurities occupies only twenty
minutes. When the contents of the
ladle are under-blown or over-blown,
the steel is unfit for boiler making. In
the Sicmens-Martin process, however
the chances of spelling the steel are
much less. In working that system, if
the metal be tapped half an hour sooner
or later, the difference in the quality of
the steel would not be so great as an
error of minute would produce in the
steel Of the Bessemer converter"
