A HORRIBLE REVENGE.


One rthe ablest, shrewdest and cruel
eat of tho Florida Indian leaders was n
coal-black negro named Abraham. \
niece of his, cold Aunt jimmy is now
living near Dead Mans Bay, Ella. She
saws that her uncle Abe was Il short,
chunky negro, of most repulsive feat

happy when he WAS annoying or
torturing some Of the animals on
The place and that his exces-
siyc insolence continually got him in
trouble. He was owned by a planter
named Dickson, whose only son,
Frank, was the immediate cause of
Abraham running away and Joining
the Indians. Frank, the young son,
was very fond of practical jokes, high
spirited and full of wild ana uproarlous
fun. These traits eventually cost him
his life, and in very cruel way. he
turning with few comrades from n
hunt one day---the spoil being fine
buck-tliey determined 10 have some
fun with the negro boy, Abraham,
who had given them some insolence ns
they passed him. After skinning the
deer they caught the negroand fastened
the hide on him with the head ANA
horns attached. The young dogs were
then set on him, amid the uproatious
laughter of the young men ana the
iecring remarks of tile other negroes
who had gathered around. The dogs
were not allowed To hurt him, but the
protesane nature of the punishment
aroused the deepest resentment of the
negro. a few nights later lac disnp'

correspondence OF the Gazette,
Vernon, November 9i.-Last Tues
day night an Indian called Cherokee
Tom was in town, and by some means
got full OF bust-head whisky and UNI
dertook to take the town. After hav-
ing quarrels with two or three parties,
he got on his horse and began yelling
and firing his siN-shooter. He had
not fired more than three shots until
Sheriff Stewart and others were on the
scene and opened fire on the would-be
taker of the town, and sent him flying
out of town. a stray shot passed
through an upper window of the Com
mercial hotel aud struck i. Windsor
Robinson, intiicting q flesh wound in
the point of the left shoulder. The
wound is but slight, and Mr. Robinson
will be all right in n few days. Per-
haps it may not seem just right to APP
prehend would-be-takers Of the town
by firing into them. but when men get
so reckless and wanton as TO COM
mence indiscriminate shooting in n
town to the terror and safety
of the citizens, and are on their
horses ready TO ride away from the
officers of the law, we do not blame an
officer or citizens in trying To unhorse
them or even killing such dastardly
villains.

The Life of an African Chief.

Abd-el-Kader, the famous Algerine
chief who has been several times report
ed dead, has, it is now announced, real
ly ended his eventful career. This fam
Gus chief was born about 1906, ard was,
at an early age, owing to his personal
proves, elevated to the emirship of the
province of Oran. He declared war
against the French, and waged HOSTILE
ties with varying success until 1887,
when he was compelled to acknowledge
the supremacy of the invaders, though
he was permitted to retain his emirship
in Oran under French suoerainty. Two
years later the war broke out again, but
Abd-el-kader was unable to make head
against the overwhelming strength ofthe
invaders. He was defeated at all points,
and obliged in 1912 to take refuge in
Morocco to march into Algiers, but the
French were again victorious at the bat
tie of Isly, and Abd-el- Kader, after a
vain attempt 10 continue the contest Of
his own strength, was obliged to surren-
der. He was sent as prisoner to
France in 1913, and was kept in prison
there until 1852, when Napoleon III. re-
leased him and granted him a pension
of $50, 900, on condition that he would
not return to Algeria. He retired to
Broussa in Asia Minor, went afterward
to Constantinople and finally settled
down in Damascus, where, during the
riots of 1860, he afforded protection to
the Christians who were threatened with
massacre by the Moslems. In 1865 he
visited England, and went to Paris in
1867 to be present at the opening of the
great exposition. In 1870 he offered
his sword to France during the German
war, but the proffer was declined.

Extraordinary Hens.

tinued to nurse with the greatest care

from male bird she commenced laying
the first week in May, which she has
kept up steadily since, ever other day

this hen and set all her eggs from which

of breeding superior lot of layers

Narrow Too,n Cultivators.

Mr.. Henry Ives, farmer exception
ally skilled in the theory and use of i'm
plements of tillage, expresses in Rural
Home, decided preference for narrow
tooth cultivators:
"The difference In width of cuItivator
teeth, as we buy them, varies from about
two to eight inches, and in use we find
that where say a five-tooth cultiVator
with broad blades would, with given
draft, work the land to certain breadth
and depth, the same draft with twice
as many of the narrow teeth could do
either a greater breadth or depth of
work, or do the same breadth and depth
more easily. 1t could also do finer
class of tillage. And this principle of
tillage holds good as far..as one can go,
80 much SO that believe that if COM
mon knitting needle was strong enough
to be used as cultivator tooth is, to the
depth of five or six inches, an imple-
ment, we'll filed with such teeth, would
do finer work and do 1t easier than any
tool we have. This l have seen partial.
ly proven by using steel teeth, long and
thin, set edgewise, SO as only to give a
half inch working force, and with this a
common team could do about twice as
much tillage, counting the acres and
depth of tiIlage, as with any other tool
in the market. And the fact of leaving
so fine and level finish to the work,
as compared with the ridges and fur
rows uuavoidably left after using the
broad teeth shares, is very much in
favor of the narrow teeth"

Old Times i'm Base Ball.

. In 1865 and 1866 perfect frenzy of
bali-playing swept over the United States.
Old and young took part or interest in
the game. Every village and hamlet
boasted its nine, and in the cities the
list of clubs rivalled the Homeric cata-
logue of the shi ps. The game as played
then had breezy range and flavor. The
ball, charged to its full with rubber,
bounded among the feeders with the
rlcochet of a cannon ball. One country
nine, famous for prowess in hitting, had
its bats made of huge square pickets
"whittied,' down at one end. Another
team bore vast round beams or bass
wood as large as mans thigh, bored
outand charged with cork to make them
light The lookers-on invariably con-
stituted themselves sort of high court
of appeal without any legal delicacies of
language. Occasionally, in more ex-
citing contests, stone or brickbat pro-
iected from the crowd emphasized it's
opinions, and sometimes it seemed as
though the umpire would have to quail.
ify for medieval suit of armor to hold
mis- pace. AS Tor the mines, an eplgra
matte phase by which | once heard a
player describe his team, may suffice.
Said he: "Our nine can't bat much, or
throw much, or catch much; but they're
first rate takers"
Many funny incident crosses MEM
DRY in looking back on those old days.
In one of the games line ball struck
the pitcher--a pulpy round-headed class
mate-squarely on the side of the head.
The ball caromed sideways to fielder,
who caught it on the fly, putting the
striker out amid shrieks of merriment.
In another instance during match
game swift liner" hit the player on
the ankles, followed up his body, and
was caught at the chest. Perhaps, how
ever, the most famous catch of all was
that of an Indifferent player whose back
happened to be turned just as hard-hit
ball was struck to him. He turned sud-
denly, exactly in time, as 1t seemed, to
receive the ball in the pit of the stom-
ach. But he threw out his left hand de-
fensively, and the ball, to the utter
amazement of the spectators and even
more of the player himself, "stuck" be-
tween thumb and foreinger.-[N. Y.
