and the nut filled with Kerosene oil for
the occasion, and it was with considera-

FALLOW.


I like these plants that you call weeds
Sedge, hardhack, mullen, yarrow,
That knit their roots and sift their seeds
Where any grassy wheel.track leads
Through country by-ways narrow.
They fringe the rugged hillside farms,
Grown old with cultivation,
With such wild wreath Of rustic charms
As bioomed in natures mstron arms
The first days Of creation.
They show how mother earth loves best
To deck her tired out places;
BY fowery lips, in hours Of rest,
Against hard work she will protest
With homely airs and graces.
Yon plow the arbutus from her hills;
Hew down the mountain laurel;
Their place, as best she can, she fills
With humber blossoms SO she wills
To close with you her quarrel.
She yielded to your Ak, with pain,
Her free, primeval glory;
She brought you crops Of golden grain;
You say "How dull she grows how plain
The old, mean, selfish story!
Her woodbine soil you may subdue,
Tortured by hoe and harrow;
But leave her for q year or two,
And see! she stands and laughs at you
With hardhack, mullen, yarrow
Dear earth, the world Is hard to please
Yet heavens breath gently passes
Into the life of flowers like these;
And lie down at blessed ease
Amsng thy weeds and grasses.

Net Easily Discomfltted.

A French journalist recently wrote rath-
or unfavorsble criticism Of the performance
Of an actress. The latter felt deeply wound
cd and longed for chance TO get square

she spied the Journalist Ia question. She
had package for him which she requested
her friend to deliver In person. The dandy
arose, and, taking the package from the

man and presented ID to him, saying:
"Mlle. Daverger, who sdnires your talent
Is . journalist, has requested me to present
you with this as q souvenir from her"

nPOOR POLLY.o
A Parrot, Acting ~ . Fire Alarm, Saves a
Household.

At two o'clock yesterday morning DR.. w.
P. Sweetland Of 405 Hayes street, and an
other member of his family were aroused
from their slumbers by the screaming Of .
pet parrot, whose cage hung in the kitchen.
The birds yells were oil of"Poor Polly"
and "Come here!" and were followed by
fits Of coughing, which finally induced the
Doctor to investigate the cause Of her dis
tress. Opening the door the kitchen was
found full Of smoke from . brisk fire that
was blazing in the wall near the stove. An
alarm was hurriedly turned In from box No.
81, and the Fire Department extingui shed
the flames in few minutes. When the fire.
men first arrived the parrot was still scream
ing for help in tones which 20 nearly ressm-
bled those Of woman that number Of the
brave lads dashed into the sufiocating smoke
to rescue what they believed was psrishing
woman. Two Of them remained SO long
that they were badly affected by the smoke,
and considerable exertion was requisite to
put them on their feet again. "Poor Polly"
was found asphyxiated in the ruins, but
beyond doubt her death cries saved . con-
siderable loss Of property, II not Of human
life. The ground floor was covered by Mrs.
K. NJ. Dryers dressmaking parlors, which
were damaged slightly by water, the total
loss being about $3.50. The building was
owned by B. Daniels.-S. r. Chronicle.

Chambers JoNrncl.
Last year we took occasion to notice the
invention and patenting by MFR. W. B.
Blake, Of Edinburgh, Of running man
target for rife practice. The target, as then
explained, Is made Of stout mill board cut
to represent man, life size, and painted to
the fancy of the shooter. 1t 10 suspended
from . wire, along which 1t runs, and can
be worked by one man, who. while oper-
ating, Is protected in the ordinary marking
but or mantlet, and can signal the hits with
out leaving cover. The purpose which this
target 10 meant to serve-namely to test q
rileman's ability to bit moving objects
. commendable one. To shoot ut . fixed
target and TO shoot at moving figure are
very different things, and if our rife volun-
teers are to be servicable In the field, they
must be able to do more than to merely
make points at IN object that never moves.
To show how much practice Is needed In
shooting Ut some moving object, IS the run
ming man target, we have only to instance
what took place At this years meeting Of the
Edinburg and NJ i'd Lothian rife association.
There were competitors at the running man
target (life size, moved at from four to eight
miles an hour, and at 200 yards distance.
The great proportion Of the competitors we're
crack shots, yet the following was the result:
Out of IA shots fired on the first day OF the
meeting there were seven hits; on the Sec
ond day, out Of So there were four hits, and
out Of 100, nine hits; on the third day out Of
~ shots, five hits; and on the fourth day out
or 200 shots, eighteen hits. That Is, out OF
554 shots fired by otherwise compstent
marksmen, only forty-three In all-or Sper
cent--struck the "running man." This
seems TO speak strongly for some more eff-
cient means Of ride practice than by fixed
targets being adopted for both our volunteers
and the regular army.

The Fast Team Passed by Works Dick swiv-

Ne,o York Letter to Minneapolis Tribune.
The great fight between William Il. Van

every day. When man worth $500, ,OOO, 600
and another worth 900 see fit to
engage In q furious quarrel 1t il the province
of citizens worth less than those vast
amounts to stand respectfully by and view

how lowly they may be, cannot be restrained

mentioned quarrel Is actually and undeni.
ably the talk of the city. It is ell about
horses. Mr.. Work owns what he and many
other turtles believe to be the fastest team
that ever trotted on mother earth. His
team, Dick Swiveller and Edward, trotted
mile In 2:16a to road wagon few months
'sxo, and the people of New York howled
with delight. New York Is now great
racing centre and no city In America has
more enthusiastic turfmen. Well, Mr.. Van
derbilt always believed that he had the
fastest team on earth in Small Hopes and
Lady Mack, but he changed his mind when
Mr.. Work passed him with ease. Then Mr..
Vanderbilt procured the team that he averred
enphatically would make the complacent
owner of Swiveller and Edward eat his dust.
This team was Leander and Lysander; but
alas the great two hundred millionaire was
again lost in cloud Of dust. He took
William H., particularly fast and even
trotter, from his stable and harnessed him
up with the peerless mare, MaudS. "Nsw,"
said Mr.. ", "bring forth Mr.. Work and his
alleged fast team" Mr.. Work came out
and was seen plainly by Mr.. Vanderbilt,
who followed him about and had an excel
lent view from the rear throughout. This
last defeat was really severe blow to the
great railroad magnate. He became de.
spondent of ever beating the astounding
time of 2:16., and did less driving than bo-
fore for some weeks, when he suddenly be-
gan TO talk In the most mysterious and por-
tentous manner of team Of his. No de-
tails could be wrung out Of him by his
| friends, and he smiled with an cir of superb
| ority on the public. Then came the news
over the wires from Hartford, Connecticut,
that Mr.. Vanderbilt's new team, Aldine and
Early Rose, had done mile without break
in 2:1oa-a quarter Of a second better than
Frank Works best time. Nobody believed
1t until number of eye witnesses testified
to Its accuracy, and then there was q great
cry for race between the two crack teams.
Nothing was easier, said Mr.. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Work, and they went at 1t At once and
got things so thoroughly compile ated in two
days that the muddle now looks as though
it would never be righted. Each gentleman
sent the other elaborate and intricate chsl.
lenges two or three times . day, and each
insisted that his own particular challenge
should be answered first. They are at II
yet, sending challenges and accusing each

FLoG0ING A GIRL TO DEATH.
The Atrooious Cruelty Of Missionaries In
Africa. z .4E. sG.
PaH Mall Gaxette.


Newspaper published on the west coast
Of Africa contain reports Of the hearing Of .
charge against William r. John, Phoebe
John, John williams and Kezia williams,
Of aogging girl 50 cruelty - TO cause her
death. John and Williams are described rs
agents and schoolmasters of the Church
Missionary Society at Onitsha, on the Niger.
The female prisoners were their wives, and
the girls whose Ill treatment led to the &C.
cusation, were both persons whom the prs-
oners had ransomed. The alleged offense
took place as far back as 1877, when both
girls ran away from their employers, but
were brought back. As . punishment for
their escape they were taken TO the prison.
or Williams house, when the prisoner John,
having obtained rope, they were stripped
naked and tied back to back. The Allegs-
tions are, not only that the two male pris-
oners savagely fogged tbs girls with their
own hands, but that ! number OF natives
were ordered TO keep up the punishment,
which they did with guava whips, canes,
ropes and other instruments. Not content
with this, the male prisoners ordered some
pepper to be brought, aud rubbed 1t into the
bleeding wounds Of the girls - they lay
upon the ground helpless and rolling abont
in agony. This was In the morning and the
girls we're left lying upon the ground under
the troiling sun during the whole dag with
out shelter or aid Of any kind. They were
again barbarously treated three days later,
and on the following morning one Of the
girls died. True bills have been returned
against oil the prisoners at Sierra Leone.

A novel duel took place In Harmony Grove,
Jackson county, Georgia, short time since
between Mr.. Hill and w. I. Goss. Hill was
the challenger, and Goss said be didn't care
70 fight with deadly weapons, but II Hill
would not be satisfied any other way he
would fight him with buggy whips. The dis
tance and other rules TO govern the fight
were made, and the parties toed the mark,
about I've feet apart, and operations CON-
msncsd. The battle ground was In front Of
Freeman's livery stable, In the heart Of the
town, and It was not long until most Of the
citizens Of the place were looking on ut :
safe distance. No one had interfered, and
the combatants were making steady and reg
ular licks upon each other without ninching,
and the strokes of the whips could be heard
several blocks away, = they went whizsing
through the cir and upon tho backs Of the
two men. Occasionally one or the other
would back little from his line, but he
would soon come up TO the scratch again.
Whenever they got tired one would call out
70 hold up for while, and they would take
blowing spell, and whom rested they would
70 at Il again. Amer the second round, Hill
who had no covering on bis back except >
shirt, insisted that Co.'S should pull of bis
cost, which he did, and they took both hands
70 their whips and went TO work. By this
time the news Of the fight had spread oil
over the town; some Of the merchants clos
