Cody, alias Buffalo Bill, is nothing but an
actor should read the following from q

at North Platte, Neb: People who have

ing feats behind the glare of the fooss;is !, Is
imagine that they have seen a wonderful
sight, but it isn't marker to what he does
out on the plains. Mounted on a feet
mustang, from whose back never a shot
had been fired, Buffalo Bill gave wonder
full exhibition. The arm was Winchester
repeating rifle. The steed was given the
spur and started OF on keen
run. At every shot the
mustang jumped sidwise so violently that
1t seemed impossible for the rider to keep
his seat, but with both hands occupied in
handling the gun he gracefully maintained
his equilibrium and broke glass balls tossed
In the air, hardly ever missing TIE ob;ec.

and while riding at full speed bullets were
sent hustling into their marks. To say
that was surprised to witness his remark
able feats on horseback with the rifle is
putting it mild. 1t is only on the broad
prairies that Buffalo Bill can show his
craftsmanship to the best advantage, and
mounted on feet wild horse the hero of

Il NOcel Notion,

Lieutenant Farrar, fashionable young
officer in the guards, dining with friend
in Cairo restaurant some time since, was
seized with novel notion of mixing a
salad in an Egyptian fez. AHungarian at
the next table with an Egyptian friend
deemed this a deliberate insult to his
friend and called out the young officer
The latter had no objection to fighting, but
at the urgent solicitation of his friends he
refrained. The ultimate consequence of
the affair was that he was compelled to re-
sign his commission in the guards, the
duke of Cambridge in particular evinc1ng
the greatest hostility to him. The case is
attracting great attention. Her majesty,
who entertains deep horror of dueling,
has taken Lieutenant Farrar's side, and
the young officer has addressed pamphlet
to the duke of Cambridge begging to be
reinstated.
