TOSSED by = MAD BUFFALO.


There was no time to be lost, as was not
more than forty yards from him. So, rein
ing in with jerk and turning the horse at
the same instant broadsides on, raised my
gun, intending to put ball, if possible, just
between his neck and shoulder which,
could have done 30, would either have
knocked him down or at any rate made him
swerve but my horse, instead of standing
steady, as he had always done before, now
commenced walking forward though he did
not appear to take any notice OF the buffalo.
There was no time to put my hand down
and give another wrench to the bride, which
had let fall on my horses neck, and for
the life of me / could not get a sight with
the horse in motion. A charging buffalo
does not take many seconds to cover forty
yards, and in another instant his outstretch-
ed nose was within six feet OF me, 80, low
ing the gun from my shoulder, ] pulled it
of in his face at the same time digging the
spurs into my horses Sides but IL was too
late, for even as he sprang forward the old
bull caught him with me on his back into
the air like dog. The recoil of the heavily
charged elephant gun with which was UNI
luckily shooting twisted IT clean out of my
hands, SO that we oil, horse, gun and man,
fell in different directions My horse re-
gained his feet and galloped away inmedi-
ately. The buffalo, on tossing the horse,
had stopped dead, and now stood with his
head lowered within few feet Of me.
had fallen in sitting position and facing
my unpleasant looking adversary. ! could
see no wound on him, so must have missed,
though can scarcely understand how, as he
was very close when fired. However,
had not much time for speculation, as the
old brute, after glaring at me few seconds
with his sinister looking, bloodshot eyes,
finally made up his mind and with o grunt,
rushed at me. l threw my body out fiat
around the ground to one side and just
avoided the upward thrust of his horn, re-
ceiving, however, severe blow on the left
shoulder with the round part of it, nearly
dislocating my right arm with the force with
which my elbow was driven against the
ground and receiving also kick on the in
step from one of his feet. Luckily for me

would have done had he been wounded,
but galloped clean away. The first thing to
be done was to look after my horse, and at
about one hundred and fifty yards from
where he had been tossed I found him. The
buffalo had struck him full in the left thigh !;
it was an awful wound, and, as the poor
beast was evidently in the last extremity, ]
hastily loaded my gun and put him out Of
his misery. There l was, left alone and
injured, with only my gun for company
and the knob-backed buffalo cantering away
toward the horizon. - Denger Tribune.

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.

The Old man sits at his cottage door.
In the CLEAN OF the dying day;
his neart Is calm as the silent shore,
When the winds have passed away:
his thoughts as still as the fragrant breeze
That whispers OF peace to the same azure seas
His Is the beauty OF earth and air.
The glow Of the twilight hours
He feels that glory everywhere
Is breathing from woodland fiowers
AND his heart grows young, though his years arc
old,
At the wondrous sight Of the sunset goldl
For Memory comes with a gentle hand,
And beareth on Fancy's wings
BIS thoughts to her own immortal land,
Where the Past forever sings
OF joys that frightened the fair days fed,
Ere friendships faded with friends long dead
And the past, though sad, for the love that has
gone,
Is sweet to the old mans mind;
Like the birds that sang in those years, have
flown
The hopes he hath left behind;
Yet memory brings from each bygone day
Some gift OF peace ror mrs ionely wayi
and the children love that old man dear,
AS he sits in the twilight there,
Listening to music they cannot hear,
From the sea and the voiceful air;
And gather around, like gladstone flowers,
As he tells them tales OF the vanished hours.
And so the Present is made more bright
BY the lessons the Past hath taught
As the East reflects the wondrous light
OF the West, by sunset brought;
And though his vision is growing dim,
tod maketh his pathway bright 10 him.
His age Is peace; yet he joys TO think
That deeper than earth can know
Shall be his, when his tranquil soul shall drink
OF a balmier twilight glow,
In that happier home, where his thoughts at last
Shall yearn no more for the distant Pastl

DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE.
The Spectral Warning and Remarkable End
off, WOOd-Cutter.

Our Choupique correspondent writes us
that Martin Delehante, ane of the regular
mill hands at Rabalias' mill on Choupique
saw, not far from his house. man on a
white horse, standing perfectly still and hay
ing his arm extended. He went to see who
1t was, when it vanished into air. He took
this to be the foreboding Of some evil to oc-
cur either to himself or his family. He told
his wife oil about his vision, and on the next
day would not 60 into the swamp to cut
logs as he had done before. On the follow
ing day he was sent for, but did not like to
50 on account of having presentiment that
something was to happen to him on that
day However, he took dis axe and went
to the ehopping, and on finding nobody
there he turned back toward home.
On his way back he met Mr.. Tancrede
Mayeux going to the chopping, who re-
quested him to go back with him to chop
some saw-logs. He told him lint he ala
not like to go, but would help him until ten
O'Clock A NJ, after which time he would
not hit another lick. They accordingly
went to the chopping and went to work.
They cut one tree, which lodged, and in or
der to get that tree to the ground they con-
cluded to cut another tree across the lodged
one, which would produce the desired effect.
When the second tree was nearly cut off he
remarked to his companion that it was about
ten o'clock and that he would give the tree
one more lick, which would be the last ona
when the tree twisted around, throwing him
with his head against bunch of roots and
the tree falling on his head, fractured his
skull Mr.. Mayeux just did escape by one
foot Of space.
AT precisely 10 o'clock A. NJ. thirty-six
hours after Mr.. Delehante saw the before
mentioned vision. Mr.. A. Il. Rabalas,
seated on white horse, stopped at precise
~ the same spot and in the same attitude
where Mr.. d. had seen the vision, and gave
Mrs. d. the startling information that her
husband was very nearly killed and hastily
rode OF in search of DIR. Cullum DIR. Gull
lum arrived, but the unfortunate man was
beyond the reach of medical skill and died
at shutdown of the same day. -Maksoilh

WARM AND COLD BATHS.

The physiological effects Of warm and
cold baths are thus noted by writer in an
English medical journal;
Warm baths produce an effect upon the
skin directly contrary to that which Is
brought about by cold water The cutan-
eous vessels dilate Immediately under the
influence of the heat, and, although dilation
is followed by contraction, this contraction
is seldom excessive, and the ultimate result
Of warm bath is to increase the cutaneous
circulation. The pulse and respiration are
both quickened in the cold bath.
The warm bath increases the temperature
Of the body, and, by lessening the necessity
for the internal production Of heat, it de
creases the call which is made upon certain
of the vital processes, and enables life t.
be sustained with less expenditure o
force.
While cold bath causes q certain stiff
ness of the muscles If continued too long,
warm bath relieves stiffness and fatigue
The final effect of both hot and cold baths
IL their temperature be moderate, 10 tn
same, the difference being, to use the word
of Braun that /" cold refreshes by stimulai
ing the functions, heat by facilitating them
and in this lies the important difference b
tween the cold water system and the thel
NAL mode of treatment

FAMOUS THEATRE FIRES.

Speaking of the drama" says the Her
nit of the Troy Times, preference may
be made to the lighthouses in this city in
regard to fire risks. The estimated attend
ance at such places is 10000 per night, and
hence II is surprising that this immense null
titude continues to escape all calamity.
December has fearful distinction in this
point of view. II not only brought the ter
rible destruction of the Brooklyn Theatre
(1S76) and also the still more terrible calam-
ity at the Vienna theatre, but 1t also brought
the very beginning of such misfortunes to
the American stage. ! may here refer to
the fact that seventy years ago December
&c, 1Sl1) occurred the burning of the Rich
mond Theatre, which nc completely convnls-
cd the nation with its horrors. The Rich
mond public had been promised ON engage
ment with the famous George Frederick
Cooke, who had been playing in Baltimore.
In the meantime Placide, who was then the
leading star in comedy, had gone thither,
and new play was announced. This at.
tracted a crowded house, but comedy was
soon changed to tragedy of an appalling
character. The victims numbered seventy
including the Governor of the State ant
Lieutenant Gibbon of the Navy, who perish
ed while seeking to rescue his betrothed
Most of our theatres need additional facili
ties of escape. Looking back on the histor,
of the drama in this city, it is surprising
that with 80 many fires there has been nc
loss of life. The Park was burned twice
and so was tho Bowery. The Nationa
Opera House and Niblo's were also destroy
cd in similar manner, and yet do no
remember that any one persisted. Barnum'
Museum was also twice burned, but no ON
was injured. The time, however, may ye
come when some terrible calamity vii
teach the public the importance of bette
means Of exit"

A ROMANTIC LIFE.
A Woman Who Fought With Her Husband
I'm the French Army.

Elizabeth Hatzler, who died ON Sunday
last in this city, was born in 1900 at Landau,
then one of the French possessions, and
when twenty years of age she married
George Hatzler, a sergeant of cavalry in the
French army. While yet enjoying their
honeymoon the husband was ordered to Join
the memorable expedition against Russia,
and the wife determined to go along. Mrs.
Hatzler was present at all the principal bat
ties and at the burning of Moscow. After
the promotion of her husband to the rank
of staff officer, she had many opportunities
TO see the Emperor, and on several occas-
ions conyersed with him An accident TO
her husband separated them from the main
body Of the army at one time, and for nine
weeks she dragged him on hand sled over
the frozed ground. They were exchanged
in time to rejoin the French army and under
90 the suiferings and privations Of the dis
astrous retreat which almost annihilated
Napoleon's forces. Through all these yiois-
STUDIES the sex Of the woman remained un-
discovered Mrs. Hatzler emigrated to this
country in 1876, and lived for twelve years
on Fort Delaware, while it was being built
by Major Sanders. Up to the time of her
death she retained the full use of all her
faculties, and it IL said that since leaving
the battlefield in 1914 she never suffered any
badresults from herlong exposure. She spoke
English, German and French fuently, and
had also mastery of Russian and Ital
ian. She leaves three grandchildren and
ten great grandchildren. - Philadelphia

a TEMPERANCE !, VALE.

Sixty cents invested in whiskey in the
year 1869 cost Fannin county in time and
money more than the revenue arising from
the whiskey traffic for five years amounted
To-. We speak of the investment made by
young Dean. He shot Dan Coulter and
poor Dan passed into the spirit land. Then
the McDonalds shot and killed Dean. For
this oifense they were arrested and after
continuing the case several times they were
tried and convicted of manslaughter and
sentenced to the penitentiary. While in jail
they were rescued by their friends breaking
open the jail and liberating them. Taking
| it altogether, this 60 cents worth OF whiskey
killed two men, made one widow, caused
two men 10 be incarcerated and kept in jail
at an enormous expense to Fannin county,
and caused trouble to the families of these
two men, and then the expense of witnesses
and trials in court with loss of time to- the
sheriff and posse, put Fannin county ito an
expense of not less than $40, 900, and that is
Just about the usual per cent. whiskey pays,
and pays itin the same way. Bonhans 7aS-

ROYALTY IN THE SAoEBusH REGION
Winnemucca, Chief of the Piutes, is as care
full of his royal dignity as any European
potentate. When he travels he does not
herd with his subjects. Not long ago a
freight train rolled into Reno. On fiat
car were squatted dozen bucks, bringing
in game from the sink OF the Humboldt to
sell to the pale face. Chief winnemucca
was on the train but instead Of riding with
his braves on the fiat, he was seen sitting
cross-legged in solitary grandeur on the
floor of an empty box.car. - Virginia Cstv,
