out of the fght at TaCua is unknown, but it
cannot be more than LOCO men.
The allies fought desperately, and the Chill
ians themselves admit hat the assault on tho
town nay have cost them IN tho uCighbor-
hood Of 1000 men. The allies, however, have
10 account for 5000 men, whom their dis

pERHAas, RUr ! GUESS NOT.

The Secretary of the Lime-Kiln Club
announced communication from Oba-
diah Glassfoot, of New York, saying that
he was an enthusiast on the subject of
discovering the North pole, and adding
that he would be perfectly willing to
take command Of an nexpedition fitted out
by the colored race of America for such
purpose. He argued that the black
man had never yet done anything to en-
grave his name on the scrolls Of fame,
and that this golden opportunity should
not be permitted to slip away.
Immediately upon the reading of the
letter Paramount Baxter arose and
offered resolution to the effect that the
Lime-Kiln Club at once appoint com
mittee of three, with power to send for
persons and papers, to discover the
North pole. The resolution was sec
onded by thirty voices, and there was a
slight crook to the end of the Presidents
nose as he arose and said

AN old man, supposed to be tramp,
plucked a bunch OF grapes on the prem
ises Ct widow residing near Agnew
station, on the Ohio river, a few miles
below Pittsburgh. A gang Of railroad
laborers, seeing the act, started in pur-
suit of the offender and threw stones at
him. To escape his prosecutors the
runaway jumped into the river and made
for a sand-bar in the middle Of the
stream. A missile thrown by one of the
railroaders disabled his arm, and the
poor fellow sank never TO rise again.
Many persons witnessed the ernel treat
ment inflicted by the brutal rsiircaasrs
on the unfortuEate man, but not one
had the courage or nasn.iness to protest
against it or to defend him.

covered what was the matter, and she
was now making steam finely down
slight grade. From less than 100, with
which we started over that ten-mile
stretch, she had 200 pounds before we
finished it; and, as the gauge indicated
no higher than that, and the valve was
tied down, / conld not tell how much
over 200 pounds she carried, but she GER
teinly carried none less the rest of the
otirnes. And well might she carry
such an enormous head Of steam, for, af-
ter passing over that ten miles In eight
minutes, there lay ten miles Of five-feet
upgrade, and fourteen miles Of twenty
feet-to-the-mile depression between us
and c., and it was now thirteen min
btes 70 ~ o'clock.
Now the engine was hot in earnest.

ney all were red while she seemed to
fly onward as if the very Evil One him

make it." And we plunged down that
twenty-foot grade with all steam on.
Persons who saw the train on that wild
run said it was so soon after they heard
the first sound Of her approach, when
the strange object, which looked as if it
was fame Of fire, darted by, and then
the sound of the travelling died away in
the distance, that they could hardly
convince themselves they had really
seen anything. 1t seemed more like
creature Of wild dream than sober
reality.
And now let me tell you that no en-
gine ever beat the time we made on those
fourteen miles. Those great wheels,
seven feet in diameter. spun around 50
swift that you couldn't begin to count
the evoIutions. The engine barely
seemed to touch the track as she few
along and although the track was as
true as II was possible for it to be, she
swayed fearf1ily, and sometimes made
such prodigious iolts that it required
considerable skill for one to keep his
feet. No engine could hold together if
crowded to greater speed.
Well, Just as came TO standstill in
the depot at C the big clock doomed
out -, and the steamboat was getting her
steam on. Roberts got on board in time
and nothing to spare But he saved the
money. He found it hid away in some
old boxes as Aldrich had directed him.

yELF-INFLICTED TROUBLES AND
CARES.

A popular Macon minister spent the
night thirty miles below Americus with
a backwoodsman, whose house consisted
Of only two rooms. The family, how
ever, consisted of twenty-one, though,
owing to a dance in the neighborhood,
only seventeen Of the children were at
home. The minister spent the night
with the farmer and seven sons ia one
room, while the old lady and ten daugh-
ters occupied the other. In the morn
ing junior member Of the family, in
response to an application for a wash
bowl, brought him an old tin pan, and,
after the face toilet was completed,
hunted up about seven teeth Of an old
tucking comb for him to arrange his
hair with. During the progress Of the
important ceremony, the following con-
versation took place: "Mister, do you
wash every mornin'?" 81 do" "And
comb your hair, too?" eyes" "Well,
don't it look to you sometimes like you

BAT shooting is a peculiar feature OF
California sport. In recent contest on
Scott's ranch, at American River bridge,
there were several matches, and finally
one for the championship cup, in which
jackson defeated the previous bat cham
pion, Ruhstaller, by one bat-the score
standing-R Ruhstaller, IA bats Jackson,
Is. 1t seems that the bats "proved to
be unusually lively, and, flying like
jacksnipe, with many turn and twist,
caused the men at the trap TO miss FREE
quently." Bat shooting, accordingly,
seems rather more like sport than butt
shooting, in which the marksman, lying
ON his back, with his head on his arm,
and his rife poised on his toes, and with
careful sights, aims for some minutes at
fixed target, and then at last touches
the trigger. The California jackson,
who won the cup at bat shooting, is GER
tainly worthy to be named with the
Massachusetts jackson who achieved
the top score in Hyde's team at VIM
bledon.
