never consent to anything of that

worse than useless, for IL would

A GAnflAnan

When you have found a man you
have not far to 60 to find gentle
man. You cannot make a gold
ring out of brass. You cannot
change Cape May crystal to q
diamond. You cannot make a gen.
tleman till you first find a man.
To he gentleman it is not suffi-
cient to have had a grandfather. To
be a gentleman does not depend on
the tailor or the toilet. Blood will
degenerate. Good clothes are not
habits.
A gentleman is Just gentleman
mo more, no less; diamond pol
lshed that was first diamond in
the rough. A gentleman is gentle.
A gentleman is modest. A gentle
man is courteous. A gentleman is
slow to take offense, as being one
who never gives it. A gentleman
is slow to surmise evil, as being one
who never thinks it. A gentleman
subjects his appetites. A gentle
man retines his taste. A gentleman
subdues his feelings. A gentleman
controls his speech. A gentleman
deems every other better than him
self.
Sir Philip Sidney was never so
much of gentleman-mirror
though he was of English knight
hood-as when, upon the field
of Zutphen, as he lay in his own
blood, he waived the draught Of
cool spring water. that was to
quench his dying thirst. in favor of
q dying soldier.
st. Paul described a gentleman
when he exhorted the Phillippian
Christians: whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good re-
port, if there be any virtue, and If
there be any praise, think Of these
things" And DIR. Isaac Barlow, in
his admirable sermon on tie call
Ings of gentleman, pointedly says:
HE should labor and study to be q
leader unto virtue, and a notable
promoter thereof, directing and ex-
citing men thereto by his exempla
ry conversation; encouraging them
by countenaDce and authority; re
warding the goodness of meaner
people by his bounty and favor; he
should be such a gentleman as
Noah, who preached righteousness
by his words and works before

The Baby Blue.

Cincinnati Gazette: Pittsburg is
surprised over a baby which was
born blue. Most babies have hue
distinct from that of adults. Babies
of African descent are generally
quite light colored, but darken as
they grow older, as does a meer-
schaum from constant smoking.
Babies of white parentage have
generally brick colored tinge, or
as Thackeray SAYS, "They look
raw" Blue babies are by no means
so common, though there is an APP
Proclamation to them in those ba-
bies which cry until they are tenn
porsrily black and blue in the face.
Still the cerulean variety is not I'M
precedented. The Pittsburg exam
pie owes its peculiar hue to NAL
formation of the heart which allows
the mixing of the dark venous with
the arterial blood, before the former
has become purified. The chances
are against its living, though in
stances are known where such be-
ings have survived to mature age
From the description we have seen
we should infer that the infant In
question was OF n more lively MAJ
arlne tint than are the purpiish per-
sons whose blood has been perma-
nently stained by the use of nitrate
of silver.

A Battle with Buffalo.

| An officer of the regular army.
who left Fort Keogh, Montana. ten
Gays ago. arrived in the CITY
Thursday evening and is the guest
Of friends living on Prairie avenue.
The officer travelled by "buck board"
from the Yellowstone river to the
end of the Northern Pacific railroad,
near the Little Missouri, and thence
eastward by rail. Couriers had ar.
rived at the post before his depart
uie bringing the latest intelligence
from the Crow Indians, who were
then absent from camp, or agency,
upon q grand buffalo hunt. The
news brought in by the couriers was
very exciting. They related that
after riding over mountains for two
days the Groves came upon a fna
herd of bufaloes in q narrow valley
near the Yellowstone. There we're
tour hundred Indians and four
thousand buffaloes. The Groves
had been forced by fear OF starva-
ton to take TO the chase, and the
keen hunger they were suffering
only sharpened their eagerness for
a tilt with their old fellow nomads,
the noble bison. The game STAN
peded down the valley in the direc-
tion of the Yellowstone. The chase
was holly followed, half a hundred
buffalces biting the dust before the
river was reached. One of the
most vehement of the pursuers,
who had distinguished himself for
bravery in two or three fights with
the Sioux, fell from his pony in the
midst OF the flying herd and was
trampled to death by the frantic
beasts. The Yellowstone, a roar
ing, rushing river, even at the low
est tide, was booming the regular
summer freshet, the outpours of tho
melting SHOWS in the high noun
talns. When the river was reached,
the game made a boli stand, and
for q time it seemed doubtful which
had the mastery, but the incessant
fusilade from four hundred rifles,
together with the desperate prox-
unity of the formidable battalion,
drove the herd in dismay into the
roaring torrent. Beside themselves
with the excitement Of the moment,
the Indians urged their ponies into
the stream, unwilling that even a
flood should spoil their frenzied
sport, or cut them of fIom their
game. The terrific current, made
tumultuous from the huge piles OF
rock here and there in the channel,
whirled the butfaloes, ponies and
Indians along at bewildering We
locity, until thousand beasts were
rolling and writhing in inextricablS
confusion. In the dizzy evolutions
of horses and riders, the latter were
left TO struggle for themselves in the
water, and to be jammed to death
between the surging masses OF
beasts. Some who fore
saw the danger in time, and turned
shoreward, found safety on terra
firma, but those who ventured far
enough to be embraced In the
sweeping. resistless tide, and to be.
come involved in the tangle OF
struggling animals, were all drowned.
The story brought to the post was
that thirty Indians and fifty ponies
were drowned, besides five hundred
or thousand buffaloes.

field and of the Yale Medical school, made
his last visit to Northampton as a medi-
cal expert on the Eastman murder case.
When he was put upon the stand, the attor-

might testify as to his fitness to act as an ex-

manner, the attorney general remarked,

they were unprepared to find him changed SO
much. Nevertheless the spirit, fire and elo-
