With the elise of the long day wa
deserted the familiar landmarks de-
noting our nearness to the Golden
Gate, and as the last token of the SUMS
glory reflected from the clouds away
out over the sea, faded, we made the
famous portal-through which have
passed the stoutest hearts eager with
eXpectation--cntered this time on n
merciful message, to prevent, if posi-
BILE, the spilling of innocent blood.
Rounding slowly to the entrance, our
keen eyed captain, after examining
the shipping in the harbor, suddenly
called us to him, saying, "The British
or has arrivcd!n
Sure enough, too, and the huge ves-
sci presented defiant, somewhat men
acing appearance as tho schooner glid-
ed past to the anchorage. We were
gravely apprehensive now; we became
still more alarmed and excited when
the custom officer said boat had just
landed with Lieutenant Ayrtoun and
luggage-but thirty minutes sincc
"Did the officer know where the lieu
tenant intended to stop"
"Yes; they had said the B hotel. y
How we rushed through the streets
to that hotel; how we collarcd Pedro as
he stood with cooked revolver leveled
at the lieutenant, and threw up his arm;
how the shot tore harmlessly through
the frescoed ceiling, and how happy we
four were! The balance of the night
has passed into the history of our lives,
where it shall always lie wildly pres
cnt. 1t was fortunate accomplish
mcnt of our design favored by luck.
To finish the tale of the suffering
which came about through the deten-
tion of mere letter. We sailed mer-
rily northward under sunny skies the
next day, and the happiness on her
face when folded in her lovers arm did
my old heart good.
The lieutenant, giving up "rudder-
wrestling" did settle down to valley
life; and hearing from him some few
weeks stree, | was rejoiced to find him
in possession of two beautiful young
sters and the loving help of 4 true, wO-
manly heart. He represents the So
norada district in the legislature, and
is doing much to regenerato the valley;
his active and forcble mind acting
bcneiicially on the dozy, indolent neigh
boring rancheros; and hear Il whisper
in the press that the governorship OF
the state is proposed in his behalf.

The other day curious old woman,
having bundle in her hand, and
walking with painful effort, sat down
on q curb-stone to rest. A group OF
three little ones, the oldest about nine,
stopped in front of the old woman,
saying never n word, but watching her
face She smiled. Suddenly the smile
faded, and corner of the old calico
apron went up to wipe away n tear.
Then the child asked: care you sorry
because you haven't any childrcn?'

all dead" whispered the woman, .
sob in her throat. "I'm sorry said
the little girl, as her chin quivered.
I'D give one of my little brothers,
but | haven't got but two, and | don't
believe I'd like to spare one. "God
bless you child-bless you forever,
sobbcd the old woman, and for q
minute her face was buried in hel
apron. "But I'll tell you what III
do" seriously continued the child
"You may kiss us all once, and if lit.
tie Ben isn't afraid youmay kiss him
four times. for he's just as sweet as
candy" Pedestrians, who saw thre'
well dressed children put their arm.
around that strange old woman's neck
and kiss her, were greatly puzzled

I'd nothing olive for; but you've gave

RING our, WILD BELLS.


Ring out, Wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
King out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here We see no more:
., King out the feud OF rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes Of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS OF the times;
Ring out ring out my mOurnful rhyme
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring In the love Of truth and right,
Ring In the common love OF good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring In the thousand years OF pencc.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness Of the land,
Ring in the Christ that Is to be.

Two Remarkable Fasters In the Puebl

A correspondent of the Greeley (Col.)
Tribune has discovered case of fast
ing in the insane asylum at Pueblo that
beats DR.. Tanners entirely. The pa
tient, an incurable religious maniac,
refused to eat. He said that it was
Gods will that he should not. For for
ty-nine days he lay upon his bed, until
death overlook him. Food might have
been introduced to the stomach by
means of stomach pump, but it was
thought best not to resort to such means.
The doctor tried in every way to tempt
the appetite, but without any success
whatever. Strawberries and other del
icacies were steadily refused and only
water or little lemonade taken. On
the morning of the forty-ninth day the
patients tongue was clean, the skin
healthy, the eye clear. Religious ma
MACS are more stubborn than any 9th
ers.
The institution developed another
partial faster, but he was saved by ac-
cident. This one had cut the bars of q
window with sardine box he hadpicked
up when out at work. He let himself
down thirty feet by his bed clothes, and
was gone six weeks, roaming the Green
horn mountains, where he said he saw
wild beasts, and only ate two ears OF
corn. He came back almost q skele-
ton. When he went away he had eaten
nothing but potatoes and bread for five
years, but this experience cured him OF
that whim and he now eats anything,
and he is also willing to wear woolen
and step on a carpet. He is danger

says he shot off to get his discharge

The valcdictory message of Cover
nor Hagood was read in the legislature
of South Carolina on the goth ult. In
closing he said: "Tho history of the
state for the last quarter of century
has been varied by strongly contrasting
periods. Just preceding the civil war,
in social and material development we
reached the highest point which had
marked our progress since the English
colony landed upon the banks of the
Ashley. The war followed with its
heroic ellorts-its disastrous results.
OF the accumulation of two centuries
of industry, wherever it had found IN
vestment in personal property, III re
remained the ashes. The land alone
was left, incumbered with debt, and
with the capital to work il only TO be
obtained at usurious rates. Then came
the first period of reconstruction; the
painful struggle for bread; the govern
ment of the state by its baser elements
society adopting itself to its changed
conditions; and the native energies oi
the white mans blood, under riotou-
misrule, stubbornly winning its way tc
competence and power. In 1876 this
unhappy period ended, and to-day re.
construc. on is DONE The exhibit laid
before yol of the affairs of the state is
that of a well-ordered, smooth-work'
ing and economic government, and oI

A Live and a Dead D,sdrI. Buck with Locked

A son of Charles Harrison and an
other gentleman named Baird were out
opossam hunting some nights ago in the
vicinity of the bridge, when they heard
their dogs baying in a weedy swamp
close By. The gentlemen then con-
cluded to go home and procure gun,
and ON their return found that the dogs
were after two large bucks, one with
eight points and the other with ten
points. For some cause or other the
buck with the eight prongs had killed
the one with the ten points with one OF
its prongs. The prong entered neal
the eve and came out near the ear: By
some means the prongs of each OF the
bucks became interlocked, and had eyi

groupe of bi-centennial festive d4ys.

almost undiminished as the Templar
parade passed through the streets.
The participants, comprising COM
mande1ies from New York, Wash
lngton, Providence, Pittsburg, Rich
mOnd and other cities, numbered
between five thousand and seven
thousand. They presented a superb

rRoM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.

MR. EDITOR: To-day was one of the
years. Hon. VIM. Rule, candidate for Con-
gress, spoke to the largest crowd, by far,
that has assembled in this county during
the present canvass. The crowd was vari-
ously estimated from 600 to 1000 people.
Capable, unprejudiced judges state that
there were at least 700 people present at
the speaking. The assembly represented
every portion of the county. Old men that
had not been in town for years, came; men
brought their wives and children. The
people began early to come in from all di-
rections afoot, horseback and in vehicles
The teachers in Franklin Academy gave the
occasion as holiday. The colored brass
band of Knoxville was on hand By ten
O'Clock the town was full of people. A
procession, consisting of the band,
horsemen and footmen, and numbering
about 300 proceeded to meet Capt Rule one
mile above here and escort him to the place
of speaking. While the procession was
passing down Main street the Houk men
had the impudence to disgrace themselves
by collecting their scattered fragments in
front of the court house and setting up
yell for their little boss, L. Calaboose
Houk.
When Houk spoke here one month ago,
the Rule men acted the gentlemen and said
nothing, though there were near as many
Rule men present on that occasion as Houk
men on this. Such conduct shows the
straits to which they are put to keep up the
cry Caesar.
Capt. Rule made two hours and a half
speech. The tone was not offensive toward
his enemies, but he showed Houk's record
in complete and vivid manner
After the speaking all present were treated
to good dinner prepared by the ladies.
The crowd was the most quiet and well
behaved ever in Jacksboro. Not a single
individual was seen the least under the in
Auence of liquor. Mr.. Wilson, who keeps
the only saloon in town, did not open until
after the display was over.
This was grand day for Rule. His
speech was a telling one and he gained
many friends. Whatever the Houk men
may say, with all their boasting and efforts
at misrepresentation, it is an indisputable
fact that there were $50 more voters for
Rule present than have met Houk in this
county at any one time during the canvass.
