When Q farmer goes into \ savage
birds camp he takes with him q thorn
pole. with q branch ortwo Of the thoruy
bush left on the end. This Is called .
tuck " and when the tuck Is applied
TO the ostfich's neck or head (his tender
points) he Is almost invariably subdued
and, after one or two efforts to escape,
bolts furiously OF 70 the other side Of
the camp, where he races mp and down
TO vent bis bafiied rage. II. however,
tie bird gets near enough 10 his oppon-
ent 70 give the so.called kick. he lifts
his bony leg as high as his body and
throws Il forward with demoniac grotes-
queness, and brings it down with terri
Bic force. His object is to rip the en-
emy down with his dangerous claw. but
IN most cases il is the fiat bottom Of his
foot which strikes. and the kick Is
dangerous as much from its sheer pow
er as from its lacerating effects. 1t is a
movement Of terrible velocity and power
at all events. Several instances may
be mentioned of herd-boys being thus
either wounded, MANNED, or killed out
right. One case occurred near Grand
Reinet, in which horse had his back
broken by a single blow. In this case
the bird had endeavored to kill the
rider, but missed him and struck the
horse.
Many persons have been set upon by
birds when there was no shelter, not
even tree TO run to. Ip such a case,
If the pursued were acquainted with
struthlous tactics he would lie down fiat
on the ground, where the bird finds it
impossible to strike him. But even this
is no light matter, for some birds in
their rage at being baffied of their kick
will roll over their prostrate enemy, bel
lowing with fury. and tramping upon
him in the most contemptuous fashion.
One man who thus attempted the lying
down plan found that every time he at.
tempted to rise the bird would return
and stand sentry over him, till at last,
after creeping a distance, he got out
only by swimming pond that bound.

Gambling at the Arkansas Hot Springs.


The city is filled with gamblers, and,
cards seem to be the means of employ
ing time even by those who do not be-
long to that distinguished body called
blacklegs. In the opinion of one of the
oldest inhabitants, with whom l con-
yersed last night. radical and pro-
gressive step toward publ morality
was made last year. 1.-The council made
the gamblers remove their rooms from
the first to the second floor" Yet the
city has one peculiar feature which
might well be emulated in other places.
No hotel contains bar, and your sleep
is never disturbed or broken by the
staggerings and shoutings that one has
often to listen to in cities that claim a
higher title to civilization than Hot
Springs. Those who want to drink must
90 to saloon, filled with every variety
Of wickedness that gambling developes.
Professional etiquette does not compel
the gambler to use any auxiliary aid.
He hunts his own prey, and is always
on the look out for it. l think the prin-
cipal reason why so many patients who
have come here for relief have become
the victims of gamblers is that one has
no way of amusing himself if he has no
taste for reading, and if he has any de-
sire for play it is the thing he will most
likely fly to. and, should he fly to it. ne
is,as certain Of being skinned as an eel
in a kitchen. New York Obsercer.

ed by farmer who wanted advice. rs

life.

Point, and make great General of
him."

What for?"
why, to let one lead an army, and
the other feed it. 1t is twenty wears
since the War closed. and yet we are
still making up purses for Generals and
paving the claims of contractors. You
might as well start right, and give your
sons first mortgage on the United
States, as to turn ont q pair of patriots
who can't buy courtplaster to hide their
sears"

HOW a Noted Duelist. Died.

The Comte de Larilliere, one of the
well-born among the bretteurs, met one
day in the street a business man named
Castera, walking with his young and
pretty wife. He advanced to him and
said, with polite bow: Il beg your
pardon, but have made bet with my
friend here, whom l beg to introduce
to YOU, that I would kiss your wife
while she was walking with you"-here
the other man turned liyid-"after hav-
ing given you slap in the face" Cas-
terra fought him next day with pistols.
The counts first shot hit Castera on the
right ear. the second on the left. Be-
fore the third, he cried: ''Cette fois je
ferai mouche,'' and with the third he
shot Castera through the eye. Castera
was avenged in manner dramatic
enough. One night, as Larilliere sat in
his favorite seat in u cafe, when q
masked ball was going on hard by, a
stranger in y domino and mask came
up to him, overturned his glass of punch
and ordered glass of orgeat instead.
Larilliere, for the first time in his life,
turned pale, and cried; ''You scoun-
arel, you don't know who am" 20,
yes" the stranger replied. Il know
YOU quito well.h and with the words
forced him down into the chair from
which he had risen. The orgeat was
brought, and the stranger, holdinga pis-
tOl to Larilliere's head, said: unless you
drink this off / shall blow out your
brains on the spot; and If you do drink it
off l will do you the honor of fighting
you to morrow" with the saberP"
cried Larilliere, who had lately been
practicing with that arm. How you
Gke," said the stranger. Then as La
rilliere drank off the orgeat. he added,
II have humbled you enough tonight.
Iput off killing You till tomorrow. The
morrow came, the adversaries met, and
Larilliere found that he had met his
natch. The stranger left him not a
minutes breathing space, but never fol-
lowed up his attacks, until at last La
riiliere cried insolently: "When are you
going to kill meP" Nov" said the
stranger. for the first time using his
'.saber like duelling sword and lung
ing through Larillere's heart. Masses
were said in the churches Of Bordeaux
for the man who had kept his name se-
cret and rid the town Of its scourge. -

A C.ir,us Bdd.

On alighting from our carriage, says
contributor 70 Al lhe Year Round,
writing of visit 10 Cairo, we were
hastily conducted across a large COW
cred court, In which tables were spread
and hired musicians were performing.
and were shown up 70 the women's
apartments. passing through q number
of narrow, winding passages-it was.
was told, q real old-fashioned Turkish
interior-and traversiDg number Of
rooms furnished with q curious mixture
of the splendid and the tawdry. until
we came TO the room where the bride
sat to receive the final compliments of
her friends. She was small-framed.
delicate-looking person. with fairly reg
ular features and beautiful eyes and
teeth, but the former. notwithstanding
that her face was thickly painted white,
showed traces of tears, and she looked
and evidently was tired to death. ''She
has been crying all day." whispered the
French goyerness TO us conidentially;
''she has never seen him, Of course, and
has got an idea that she shan'tlike him;
the fact Is, she did not want to be mar
ried at all, but of course her family
would not refuse - Pasha's alli-
ance." The new brides apartments
have been refurnished in her honor, and
were bestrcwn with CANDY yellow satin
chairs and fauteuils, which most Of the
women carefully avoided. preferring to
sit comfortably on the carpet or un-the
lowest foot-stool they could find. The
bride sat like little image on a chair
raised on two steps in one corner of the
room; her hands, incased in tight white
kid gloves, were crossed on her lap, and
she never moved at all, except that she
acknowledged our courtesies, as strang-
ers, with slight, grave inclination of
the head. The other women kept up
pretense that it was all very delightful,
and occasionally stroked her dress
smilingly in passing, or rearranged the
heavy gold fringes of the veil. She had
put off magnificent bridal dress of
white satin on entering the house of
this husband whom she ''had never
seen," and was now arrayed in pink
satin heavily embroidered with gold,
having on her head veil of tulle and
gold ornamented with flowers and dia-
monds, while large diamond brooches
and bracelets glittered on her dress and
wrists. The long train of her dress,
made in European fashion, was spread
ostcntatiously half across the floor.
Those of her relations who had come
with her were also very smart and very
modern. Her sister, in addition to q
pair of high-heeled shoes, had advanced
to the civilized length of wearing tight
stays.

AN OUTRAGEOUS VERDICT.
Dnkes. the Murderer, Aequitted-Cit-
izens Excited and Threaten Lynch.

ing.
PlTTsBURG, March l5.-A dispatch
from Un;ontown, Pa, says the utmost
indignation prevails there on account
of the outrageous verdict in the Dukes
trial. Threats of lynching Dukes are
freely made and Dukes and the jury
have been hung in effigy bv the ex-
cited crowd. The case was so clear
against Dukes, the fact that he deIib-
erately shot Captain Mutt, after having
done him the deadliest wrong that one
man could do another. so we'll proven
that nobody thought any verdict but
guilty possible. Dukes himself did
not expect anything else, nor did his
lawyers. And yet the jury was scarce
ly out two hours when it returned
with a verdict of acquittal. The
court, the lawyers and the spectators
were absolutely dumbfounded. Judge
Wilson looked amazed at the announce
ment, and said: "Gentlemen of the
jury; l suppose the verdict is one thai
you thought. you should render under
your oaths, but it is one that gives
dissatisfaction to the court, because
We thought the evidence, sufficient to
justify different verdict. If you
have committed an error it is one that
we cannot avoid, but can only express
our condemnation Of it in this mild
way. The prisoner is discharged
Dukes then left the court amidst
great excitement and Indignation.
An Indignation meeting will be held
tonight The people are excited and
there is bitter feeling against Dukes
