A desperate shooting ARRAY between
two members broke up services at the

Sunday last. Two young men Lem
Dishowan and Peter Lewis, attended

Lewis moved from hisown to the minis.
ter's family pew while the sermon was
in progress, Dishowan drew his revolver
and opened fire upon him. Lewis re
turned the fire, and the congregation
made rapid exit by way of doors and
windows. Neither was hurt, and both
heing disarmed' they agreed to 60 into
the woods and fight 1t out with fst

which was granted. While the congre.

congregation hurried to the spot and
found Dishowan lying on the ground
dying from a shot through the lungs.
He said that he was getting the bet

nv. Bayard's Foreign Policy.

What kind of a foreign policy would
we have in this country if Mr.. Bayard
should, by any unfortunate chance, be
elected President of the United States :?
If he is of the same mind now that he
was when he made his celebrated Dover
Green speech in 1851, and We believe
he says he is willing to stand by that
speech, our nation would stand in dan
ger of being disintegrated. England
would have her own way with her az
gressive foreign policy in South Amer
lea, and in this country also. All that
would be required 10 make Mr. Bayard
shake in his shoes would be for the
British lion to shake his tail, and Mr..
Bayard wonld wilt at once. We do
not pretend to say that Mr.. Bayard has
not got a fair amount Of personal cour-
age, but many OF our bravest men are
those who abhor war and bloodshed.
In this category We place Mr.. Bayard.
Rather than have war with England
or any other foreign power he would
call treaty ofpeace and let such pow
ers have their own way. What makes
us think so? Why, did not Mr.. Bay
ard, when the civil war broke out, make
a speech on the green in Dover in which
he proposed peace at the price of q di-
vision of the United States into two
Confederacies ? He looked upon war
as the last and most horrible alterna-
tive. We had Canada TO the north Of
us and Mexico to the south Of us, and
We were at peace with both. Carrying
out the argument, he thought
there could not be TWO separate confed-
eracies in this country lying side by
side and still have peace" But there
was no peace, as all of us who We're
living at that time well know, until
Mr.. Bayard's friends, the rebels, laid
down their arms and returned TO their
allegiance to the government once
more.
IfMr. Bayard had been permitted To
have his way of it there would have
been two Confederacies instead Of the
grand, strong nation which we have;
north of Mason and Dixon's line, sla-
very would still be existing in all its
horrors, and with the continual danger
Of civil war breaking out at any mo-
ment. This would have been the raa
suit if the settlement of our difficulth2
had been left with Mr.. Bayard. INV
can we contemplate the results if he
were elected President of the United
States ? Should an attempt be made
by the Southern States to regain what
they lost in the war sympathizing
President, who abhors war, would be
in the right place for them. II civil
war is so horrible in the eyes of Mr. |
Bayard does it not stand to reason that |
war with foreign nations would be as ;
horrible, and if he would in 1861 have
submitted to division of the United
States into two Confederacies to avoid |
war, in what position would the United
States be placed should England make
a demand to desist from an aggressive
foreign policy !? These are things to
think about.

break the warlike heart Of the vicious
wild pony Of the plains. aud make
hira the servant Of man.
There NAV be Joy 10 a wild gillop
across the bouudless plains. 10 the
crisp morning, on the back Of a feet
bronco; but when you return With
your ribs sticking through your vest,
and find that your nimble steed has re-
turne d to town ;wo hours ahead Of you.
there is lioge Of sadness abou! 1t all.
Bronco Sam, however, made speci-
ality of doing all the riding himself. He
wouldn't enter ipto auy compromise
and allow the horse to ride him.
10 a reckless moment he offered to
bet ten dollars that be could mount and
ride a Wild Texan steer. The money
was put up. That settled it. Sam
never took water. This was true 10 a
double sense. Well, be climbed the
eross.bar of the corral-gate, aud asked
the other boys to turn out their best
sleor, Marquis Of Queensberry ruies.
AS the steer passed out, Sam slid
down and wrapped those parenthetical
legs of bis around that hish.headed,
broad.horned brute, aud he rode him
till the feet. footed animal fell down on
the buffalo grass, ran his hot red tongue
out across the blue horizon, shook his
tail convulsiveiy, sselled up sadly and
died.
1t took Sam four days to walk back.
A ten dollar bill looks as large to me
as the Star Spanglea Banner, some.
times; but there is an avenue OF wealth
that had not occurred 10 me.
I'd rather ride q buzz saw at two
