Dave passed into the closet, which was
not over three feet square, and he passed
out enc thing after another until only an
ice-pitcher remained. He seemed to
have doubts of its purity, and began
cutting at it with his knife Sam watch

it to satisfy his curiosity. was beside
the door, and Sans hand rested OH the
casllg. Now was my chance. Like
dart of lightning I grasped the door,
swung it shut on Sans fingers, and as
he dew them out | turned the KEY,
braesd by shoulder against the door, and
sung out: s.Robbers! thievesl poIicei"
as loud as I could.
1t seemed an hour to me before any
one moved, though it was not three Sec
onds before man servant leaped out of
bed. Sam and Dave had no show. With
both in the closet there was no room for
a rush at the door. They kicked until
splitting a panel, and fired through,
hoping to kill me. Within sixty seconds
two men-servants and the master of the
house were in the dining room, one of
the men having shotgun.

Fortunately the man understood me
Alright, and offered me no violence.
While the master informed the prisoners
that he would give them dose of buck
shot through the door if they made any
further demonstration, one of the men
alarmed the neighbors and afterward the
police, and in about half an hour my
friends We're invited to walk out and
accept the handouts. A more savage
pair never saw. Dave shot at one of
the officers and in return was badly
wounded, and Sam had his nose broken
by blow from a baton. They swore
the most fearful vengeance on me,
promising to roast me alive. But went
on the witness stand, saw them leave for
the penitentiary for twenty years each,
and then I made resolution to let the
interviewing business alone in the future.

THE petrified skeleton found few
weeks since by DR.. S. A. Wilcox, of Tay-
lor county, is among the most remarkable
specimens yet discovered of the huge an
imals which used to live on this CONT
nent. 1t was discovered while digging
canal for mil at a depth of about eight
feet under ground, and was carefully un-
covered and lifted from its resting place
is as large pieces as the workmen could
handle. The monster lay on its right
side with its head bent around to the
left, supported by the right Iese leg,
which was drawn up as man would
place his arm to rest his head on. The
left fore leg was stretched out at full
length, crossing the right near the ankle.
Before moving it the doctor took the di-
mensions of the skeleton, which he gave
as follows: Length of head, 8 feet;
length OF neck, feet; length of spine,
81 feet; fore leg, 7 feet.

A TERRIBLE hail storm visited the city

A TERRIBLE hail storm visited the city
of Mexico on the evening of the 9TH inst,
causing great CONSERVATION among a
crowd at a circus. Within five minutes
tons of hail bore down the canvas and
with it the poles, extinguishing the
lights. The scene was frightful, women
screaming and fainting and the panic
striken scrambling for exits and rushing
ankle deep in the water for shelter. For
tunately casualties were light, two men
osly being seriously injured by the
falling poles. although many people were
slightly bruised in the confusion.

Holyrood Palace. 1t is a stetuette in

moon, with one foot crushing serpent.
The Child holds globe in his left hand,
and his right uplifted as though he were
teacher. It's antiquity is not question

at the palace and afterward found its
way into the hands of the late Lord
Aberdeen. at the sale of whose effects it
was purchased by Mr.. Waterton, son
of the South American wanderer. Mr..
Waterton gave it to the Jesuit Fathers
for erection in niche of the church,

SAVED BY SNOW.

E'Our Young Folks have all heard
how men and animals have been saved
from death by freezing by a covering of
snow. The Leadville Chronicle tells of
a case of this kind. MIR. Frank White,
of Leadville, had recently been on long
trip to the Indian country, and was on
his return trip. He had reached Grand
River where the snow was already quite
deep, when fresh storm came on. The
freezing flakes fell fast but he kept on
( MS dirsse-i- t-----r. H. i-Ses----- - --,I
the only shelter he could find was lit
tie clump of cottonwood trees, whose
branches had in measure protected the
ground. The night had turned bitterly
and intensely cold, and to his dismay he
found that in his tramp his match safe
had fallen from his pocket and was not
to be found. For an instant il seemed
as though nothing but frozen death
awaited him, for he knew we'll to spend
the night where he stood or even to tarry
there motionless for any further length
of time would surely be fatal. Already
the colored lights that are sure forerun-
ner of death by freezing, began to flicker
before his eyes, and he felt that ne must
take desperate chances fer existence.
1t was then that it occurred to him that
he had read somewhere of the latent heat
in the snow, and the last resort of freez-
ing men. He did not stop long for con-
sideration, but began. with benumbed
fingers, to burrow in the huge white bank
ahead of him. In few moments he had
excavated a hole of considerable size, ,and,
drawing his blankets tightly around him,
he crept in. After short time his body
began to grow more comfortable, and his
hands regain their sense of feeling
Then he grew sleepy, but he dared not
close his eyes, fearing that it was the
stupor of freezing that he felt. At last
without knowing it, he fell asleep. and
did not awake until early the next morn
ing. He had passed as comfortable a
night as if he had had a roof over his
head, and, save for his frost st-betten finger
tips, which had been exposed, he was
uniniured by his night in the snow. He
resumed his tramp early in the morning,
and toward the close of the afternoon
was very much relieved to strike camp
OF surveyors.

troll of speculative influences, with very light
movement of actual products. Cotton has de-
clined in price n sixteenth, with large specu-
lative transactions though the receipts at the
ports last week were only 20, s64 bales, against
42,415 during the corresponding week last
year. The talk of "cOrner" continues, bat
does not seem to induce any fcyerish haste on
the part of foreigners to purchase. The dry
goods trade has been exceptionally dull,
but it is reported that concessions in price have
been confined to a few fancy fabrics. Petro-
lcum has declined because Of the reported dis
coycry of new wells, but prices of meats pork
products, groceries, naval stores and tobacco,
have generally tended upward. 1t il no longer
possible to doubt that the high cost OF
nccessaries of life is having an unfavorable
effect upon trade and manufacturing, but there
is hope that new crops will bring better times.
The great duness in business, which is usu-
ally attributed largely to the unreasonable
weather, may with more reason be regarded as
the natural consequence of uncertainty as to
the crops and as to legislation.
