Bogardus Defeated by a Boy.

Western newspapers are devoting con-
siderable space to the late shooting
match in which young Frank Erb, Jr.,
ofSt. Joseph, Mo-, defeated Captain A.
IL. Bogardus, champion wing shot of
the world. The match was for purse
f$200 and fifty per of the gate money !;
each to shoot at 100 birds from five
traps. The traps were arranged in a
sort OF semi-circle, the maIksmen not
knowing from which trap the pigeon
would be pulled.
No pigeon match that ever took place
before in the Northwest created as much
interest as this one did Members of
clubs of the Missouri valley, and clubs
in the north and southwest, as well as
hundreds of other sharpshooters, were
present. The wind was boisterous and
cold before the shooting began, and
when young Erb fired the last shot,
dropping his twenty-third bird in sue
cession, the thermometer was working
down to zero, and a fearful gale swept
over the grounds.
AS soon as they were ready to begin
shooting, the St. 10. boy asked the vet
eran captain, who had defeated the best
English shots on their own soil. to open
the ball. The captain replied that he

to the score and cried g Pull" A pigeon
rose from trap two, but dropped before
the deadly pellets ere he had chance to
look around. Young Erb then taced
the champion and toed the score with
nerve and confidence. Shooting alter
nately with the captain the boy dropped
thirteen birds before be missed, the cap
tain missing his third and tenth. While
some of the pigeons brought down by
both marksmen were stemwinders, many
were so terrified or tame that they had
to be clo1ded up.
When each had shot at fifty birds the
score stood, Erb forty-six, Bogardus
forty-three. This rather astonished the
hackers of Bogardus, who were in the
majority, while the many hackers of the
St. 10, boy, who had predicted his win
ming from the start, were jubilant, but
not boisterously SO. Young Erb had to
make fifty shots yet with the great
marksman As the shooting continued
the birds favored the boy little, and
the veteran experienced hard luck. He
said the wind and dust troubled his
eyes.
The boy had never shot before under
the five-trap rules. Each dead shot
gave him greater confidence. He stepped
10 the score, and as the birds rose at any
part of the semi-circle, he took his range
with lightning rapidity, bringing them
down with unerring aim. When his last
bird fell the score stood, Erb ninety

Comfort.


Suppose" he said, I" that all the streams
that run
Should flow into one sea;
Suppose that all the sunshine of the sun
But for one hour should be
Poured On the folded heart OF that red rose
That richly glows
Half in the light and half within the shade
eQ its own leaves, all lightly overlaid
To keep it till it blows.
-''well, you would see this summer world, so
glad
In sun and song, and bloom,
A wandering waste of water, weird and sad,
Held in unbroken gloom;
And you would see, after the hour had sped,
That rose SO red
"A sightless, withered thing, lost in the sun,
And all the land OF other bloom undone,
And dry as DUST" he said.
Suppose, then, you could have the world
for tears,
And win your wishes with sighs;
Have all the hidden sweetness in the years
And all the perfect skies;
Oh then you think the way would be most
clear?
My very dear,
Your life would lie all wan and weird in
gloom;
Your soul would pass as sightless as the
bloom
OF that 10 1t rose, iear."

Nothing New.

From, the dawn OF spring I'll the years grow
hoary,
Nothing is new that is done or said;
The leaves are telling The same old story
Budding, bursting, dying, dead,
And ever and always the wild winds chorus
Is =" coming, building, flying, fed. "
Never the round earth roams or ranges
Out of the circuit, so old, SO old;
And the smile O. the sun knows but these
changes:
Beaming, burning, tender, cold,
As spring-time softens or winter estranges
The mighty heart Of this orb Of gold.I
From our great-sire's birth to the last morn's
breaking
There was tempest, sunshine, truit and
frost,
And the sea was calm, or the sea was shaking
His mighty name Like lion crossed,
And ever this cry the heart was making
' Longing, loving, losing, lost
For ever the wild wind wanders, crying,
southerly, easterly, north and west;
And one worn song the fields are sighing,
Sowing, growing, harvest, rest,
And the tired thought OF the world, replying
Like an echo to what is last and best,
Murmurs tTest."

A worthy couple in Norristown, Pa,
have been wonderfully blessed either
by an active Providence or an imagiua-
tive reporter. The husband is now in
his eighty-third year, but is remarkably
active His sight remained good rather
longer than is the case with most old
men, but at length failed with all the
phenomena usual in advancing life, and
for sixteen years he was obliged to use
glasses. At length he found great diff
Guilty in obtaining spectacles to suit
him. They seemed to hinder rather
than help his sight, AMI, to his own
surprise, he found the power of his eyes
returning. For several years he has
discarded glasses altogether, and is now
able to read the finest print used in daily
newspapers with perfect ease. His wife
is now in her seventy-seventh year. At
about the usual age her teeth began to
fail and she finally lost them all. In the
simmer OF 1878 she began to be troubled
with pain in the upper jaw, and soon u
full third set Of teeth made their appear
aIce. They grew to their usual size and
have since remained firm and in good
condition, but no new teeth appeared in
the lower jaw.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The Revue Iasdsstrielle states that a
German manufactory is turning out over
a ton day of glucose made from old
linen rags. These rags, which are COM
posed of hard vegetable fibers, are treated
with sulphuric acid, which converts
them into dextrine. The latter product
thus obtained undergoes washing with
milk of lime, and is then treated with a
fresh supply of acid stronger than the
former, when the mass is at once trans
formed and crystallizes into glucose. of
which rich" CONNECTIONS and jellies
may be made. The process is said to be
a very cheap one, and the glucose chemi-
cally Identical with grape sugar. A
strong outcry, however, has arisen
against the manufacture Of grape sugar
from rags, and the enterprise is under
stood to be in danger of being interfered
with by the German government.

Not long ago a Vienese artist ex-
hibited masterpiece of painting, a
historical subject in the treatment of
which he introduced wonderful head
that of an old man, venerable and
benevolent. All Vienna fell to talking
about the old mans face, and one day a
mysterious stranger called upon the
artist, and after felicitating him warmly
on the success of his picture, asked him
contidentially for the address of his
model. A few hours later the mysteri-
GUS stranger and another detective had
collared and carried off the original of
that venerable and benevolent portrait
one Venceslas Gunesch, aged sixty
seven, notorious and dangerous GRIM
inal who had broken Jail and had
hitherto succeeded in eluding the sharp
pursuit of the officers. Thus Venceslas
Gunesch, by his good looks, gained a
models fee, the admiration of a great
capital-and Imprisonment for life.

Under the influence of heavy gold
receipts from abroad, the money mar
kets of the eastern seaboard are ruling
easy. The amount afoat at the end
of last week was estimated at 0.0OO,-
900, and the end of the present week
will see the most Of this landed on
our shores. The quantity Of gold coin
in circulation, or held by the banks Of
this country, at the present time is
estimated by competent authorities at
upwards of $500, 600, 600, and the U. S.
treasurer holds about $70,00O,0O0 in
addition. There is Of uncoined
gold in the treasury close to $4,000,
600, making the available gold Of the
United States, at the present time, not
far from $40, 000, 900, while the total
silver coin in the country, with un
coined bullion added, is but little
above $l50.000, 600. The entire Gun
rency of the United States at this
time is estimated at a little less than
$500, 600, 900 in coin and bullion $346,-
68i DIG in greenbacks or legal tender
notes. and 1912 .S7G,772 in national
bank notes, in all about sl,28S,O 600,
900. The volume of coin in this
country at this time is within Sl7O,-
900, 900 of the total volume Of its paper
currency.
The local demand for money is only
moderate, and our banks are provided
with an ample supply for all legitl
mate business demands. There APP
pears to be little or no speculative
feeling in any department at present.
Out Of nearly $4,000 bales of cotton
sold since the first Of last month,
lass than a thousand was
taken for speculative purposes, and
there is little disposition among mer-
chants to speculate at this time in
other commodities. The rate Of dis
count remains steady at s per cent
with a fair amount of mercantile pa
per offering, all of which the banks
appear anxious to secure. There is
little or nothing doing in the open
market.
Exchange is daily increasing in
volume, the business at present beinc
chiefly 10 eastern cotton bills, whitt
are taken by the banks at to &c OF
for New York and New England
without and with grace. New Orleani
bills are lc off. Drafts on both New
York and New Orleans are purcha9
able at par. The prospects favor al
advance in rates of discount on cottor
bills.
The present value of silver in New
York is 113@1l3l per ounce and il
