An Apache Running Down Il Deer.

When sufficiently near the hunter
takes his aim, and, making q slight
noise with his foot On the ground, which
causes the deer to turn toward him, has
good chance to hit it in the middle of
the forehead. But if he misses the mark,
or his gun misses fire, then the fun begins
in earnest, and one of the finest races in
the world can be witnessed-a naked
Indian and frightened deer at full
speed. If the deer should happen to be
not more than year old, it is of no use
following it, as it will then outrun any
Indian, and run longer without giving
out, but if two or three years old, or
older, good runner will bring it down
i'll few hours, or certainly within fifty
or sixty miles. CThe narrator, Jose
Mcndivi!, here insists that q good runner
among the Apaches con run one hundred
and twenty-five miles in twcnty-four
hours easily.) The deer starts at full
speed, making long leaps of from ten to
thirty feet. At first he gains rapidly on
the Indian, but the latter follows, every
now and then uttering frightful yells,
but never for moment hating or losing
the trail. The deer, when out of sight,
halts and looks back, but soon his
pursucr comes in sight, when he bounds
on with longer leaps than at first; finally
he makes for water, spring or stream,
and when he gets there halts and drinks
all he wants. Now there IS no hope for
him, for after he drinks he cannot run
30 fast Or leap so far. Pretty soon the
Indian comes in sight again, while the
tired deer rests moment, but the tired
hunter never halts to drink, not if his
mouth is as dry as ashes, for by so doing
ne not only Losses timo, but cannot run
so fast aftcrward. On he goes, never
resting, either on the hill or on the
mountain. Ii the deer takes to the top
OF the highest mountain, right on his
track tho Apache follows. BY and by
the Indian secs a blood stain on rock,
where the deer has stumbled and skinned
his knee or struck his nose He knows
now the race will soon be ended, and
runs faster than at first, while the deer
loses ground every minute. When the
deer sees the Apache close upon him he
stops suddenly by rock OF bush. and
turns. Sometimes as soon as he stops
he drops down fainting, Or even dead
from fatigue. If not dead already, when
the Indian scizcs him by the head and
hind legs, be makes but little resistance,
and is dispatched with the knife. The
hunter now cuts out a fine piece and
eats it, taking not a moments rest for
fear Of getting stiff, but puts the deer ON
his shoulders, or, if too heavy, o part Of
it, placing the rest In secure place,
and then trots back to his camp, having
travelled perhaps hundred miles with
out resting The next day some one
will take his back-track for the balance
of tho game.-San Francisco Post.

The New Evolution in Mosquitoes.

WITH improved ordnance has come
the iron-clad ship, and now, for reason
like that which displaced the old-fash-
toned vessels of wood, we must give up.
it is to be feared, our mosquito bars.
When an enemy penetrates your de-
lenses it is clear you have no resource
except to set up defenses that he can not
penetrate. Yet how is this to be done?
Amazing and indeed incredible as it may
seem, the tiny black pest that has come
to enliven this remarkable summer is
actually able to 60 through the ordinary
mesh of mosquito netting. The creature
has evoluted in the direction of diminu-
ton. He has grown small by degrees
and overwhelmingly less. BY some dia-
bolical instinct, or through the teachings
perhaps of long line of astute mos
quitoes who have lived and grown gray
in the past, the wretch has contriyed to
make himself compact, so as to laugh to
scorn our most ingenious devices. He
is an india-rubber or telescope mosquito,
who rolls himself within himself, but
whose capacity in the way of torture is
no whit impaired by his new and artful
endowment. Formerly we gazed upon
him from within with ironical compla-
cency as he skurried up and down the
nettings, giving forth, indeed, his trump
of menace and defiance, but tinctured,
withal, with q certain accent of despair.
We were masters of the situation then,
and felt as safe as Macbeth in Dunsinane
before the fatal wood of Birnam heralded
his fate by beginning to move. The enc
my could no more touch us than the small
boy who ilattens his nose on the WIN
dow-pane eau touch the Gates and dain-
ties that make his mouth water inside.
But those happy days have passed, and
how are we to return to them? Are we
to submit to the ficnd, the tormentor,
the Incompatible master of petty agony
without blow? This is out of the
question, and yet for the time we seem
to be utterly without resource. When
the fierce foe tears and poisons you at
his own sweet will, slipping to and fro
through your nets with a grace as airy
as that of an acrobat who goes through
a hoop; and when your chemist tells
you, with a look Of altogether incxpli-
cable triumph, that there is really no
''mcdy for mosquito bites, and no pro.
phylactic against them; in these cir
cumstances your strait is becoming
serious. The laurel crown, the purse Of
Fortunatus, and the thanks of millions
living and yet to be, await the fortunate
discoverer who shall falsify your chem
lists statement and put an end to his
mysterious satisfaction forever. Yet
the years roll by, and clever Americans
who can manifestly invent every thing
else have invented no real armor against
their tiniest but most virulent foe. Let
us console ourselves with the hope that
the very extremity we bcwail may in
spire tho coming man, and that thus
out of our singing ncttle of danger
may be plucked the budding flower of
safety.-N. Y. Ere,aing Post.

Mrs. Burnett, Novelist.

An object of great interest is Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett long name
for such a small woman. Being actuatcd
by desire to see the world and going
on the principle Of "pulling its tail to
make it roar,'' 1 arraycd myself in my
Sunday clothes and went to see Mrs.
Is. in the character of lady of leisure.
She lives in a plain three-story brick
house on Street. was received cor
daily and without any inquiry as to my
object. Mrs. Burnett looks so little like
the ideal bluc-stocking that / was sur
prised into privileged stare. She Is
small and young-looking, and has
mass of curling auburn hair which she
coils on her neck in most artistic and
neglige style. She uses her hands and
shoulders to emphasize her remarks,
and when any thing plcases her says it
is lawfully interesting" l began q
process of pumping and asked as many
questions as could without betraying
my profession. Her first literary at
tempts were at the age Of seven; she
wrote for the amusement of two young
sisters. The family lived in one of tho
mining districts of England, and there
she saw "Joan." A few years later
they came to the United States, and
lived on farm in Tennessee. Her first
public works were published by Cooley,
and later by Peterson. To the latter
she refers as to Der kindest friend and
helper. Her husband, DR.. Burnett, Is
well, a queer-looking little man, but
must be nice, or she would not have
married him. She has two small boys
who are devoted to her, and often when
she leaves her desk to pace up and down
her room they leave their play and
trudge by her side without word,
thinking they arc giving her great as
sistance.
After staying as long as the law allows
first-caller, I reluctantly took my leave,
heartily agreeing with her brother-in-
law, who says she is "nice little
woman" DR.. and Mrs. Burnett call
their home "Vagabondia,'' and receive
their friends every Sunday evening"

How q Great Poet Died.

AT six in the evening of the 9th Of
January, 1887, the drearicst depth of q
dreary Russian winter, the dvornik,"
or house porter, of a mansion in St.
Petersburg, assisted by a valet-de-
chambre, carried up stairs to his apart
ments, where his wife and children were
awaiting his return, dying man. This
was noble Russian gentleman, an en-
ployee in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
and the editor of periodical called the
Contemporary. He had been shot
through the breast that self-same even
ing in duel with the Baron Georges
Heckeren Dantes. When the MORALLY
wounded man had reached the door Of
his room he turned to his faithful SER
want, and murmured, SIT makes thee
sad to bear me thus" The simple
words Of grateful sympathy recall the
"Questa una bella scena " of that
other dying man at Missolonghi to the
devoted Tito. The moribund Russian
gentleman had been brought home from
the scene Of the encounter by his second,
an old school-fellow, Col. Danzas. They
laid the patient on sofa; doctors wero
sent for, aud ice was applied to his
wounds. At ten o'clock arrived one of
his fastest friends. the famous Joukov-

A Miner Entcmbed Alive in a Tunnel
for Over Six Hours.

One of the most thrilling adventures
in the annals of mining in Amador
County happened in the Zcilc mine, near
Jackson, on Wednesday last. At the
morning Shift at seven O clock, Nicolaus
Nocc, an Italian, with number of
other miners, went to work taking out
ore from the 240 foot level. Noce, it
seems, was separated some distance
from his companions. They had been
ut work but a few minutes, when the
prcmonitory symptoms Of u coming
cave, such as tho creuking OF timbcrs
and falling of small pieces Of rock, told
the workers y; in language not to be dis
regarded that 1t was time to seek safer
quarters. They were not slow to obey
the warnings, Immediately withdrawing
from the point Of danger, preserving
their communication with the shaft. In
withdrawing they were not forgctful of
Noco, shouting to him to get out of dam
gers way. He, however, not having
observed the premonitions of the APP
preaching disaster, did not realize
the nature of the impending trouble.
The cries of his comrades con-
veyed the idea that something was
wrong, and he retrcatcd towards the
face of the tunnel. No sooner had he
got out of the way then tho crash came.
One half Of the ledge next to the hang
ing wall came down with laundering
sound, crushing the heavy timbcrs like
match sticks, the cave involving about
thirty feet along the ledge, rearing
an effectual barrier between Noce and
his comrades and liberty. It was not
long before the awful nature of his situa-
ton dawned upon Nocc. He was cut off
in the tunnel, lone prisoner in one of
the reccsses Of the mine. with, hundreds
tho only possible outlet from his cell.
From the cave the tunnel was sixty feet
in length, which would afford air for q
day or two. He was well provided with
candles, having two or three with him,
and he began to contemplate the pros
pect of having to subsist by eating them.
He tried to scale the loose rock and worm
his way through to the other side, be-
tween the roof and the dislodged mass,
but very soon realized that this was ut
terly impracticablc. AT first the miners
on the safe side Of the cave thought their
comradc was buried under the mass, but
this idea was soon dissipated by hearing
the voice of the imprisoned one calling
to them that he was alive and unhurt.
Under the direction of Superintendent
Rose men were set at work to clear q
passage way large enough for the man
to crawl through. They worked close
to the hanging wall, propping up where
necessary as they advanced. The men
were changed frequently and worked
like heroes, and the narrow passage
grew rapidly under their exertions.
Noce, from the other side, worked
literally for dear life, squeezing himself
through openings surprisingly small,
iacerating his breast and back and limbs
by contact with the Jagged quartz. After
six hours of toll the borers met, and
Noce, to his infinite delight, emerged
comparatively uninjured amoug his COM
rades. He was scared, as any would be
under such circumstances. The distance
through the debris was over twenty feet.

OF the satirical aspersions cast upon old
maids tell more TO their credit than is
generally imagined. lisa young woman
remarkably neat in the person, she will
certainly be an old maid. Is she per-
fectly reserved toward the other sex, she
has all the squeamishness of an old
maid. Is she frugal in her expenses
and exact in her domestic concerns, she
is cut out for an old maid II she is
kindly humane to tho animals about her,
nothing can save her from the appella-
ton Of an old maid. In short, 1 have
always found that neatness, modesty,
economy and humanity, are the never
falling characteristics Of that terrible
