John Hancock is a Democratic Con-
gresham from Texas, a man Of great in
tellectual force, of thorough culture, of
wide influence, and universally respect
ed. Granville Il. Ouray is a Democratic
delegate in Congress from Arizona. He
is a Virginian by birth, went to Califor-
MIA among the '49ers, and afterWard
drifted down into Arizona, where he
raised a regiment of frontiersmen for the
rebel army at the outbreak Of the war.
In 1892 he was Provost Marshal along
the Rio Grande. Hancock was a Union
man, one Of the few IN Texas, and was
OutspOken in his sentiments, as he always
is. He was an anti-slavery Democrat,
and after the war was fairly IN progress
attempted to raise a regiment in Texas
for the Union army. Then the rebels
thought 1t was about time for him to
leave the State. He disregarded their
warnings and refused to 90. OUray got
after him with squad Of cavalry and q
coil Of rope, and proposed to have a
lynching party for HancOck's benefit.
George W. HasWell, who is now clerk
IN the Pension Office, rode seventy miles
one night to warn Hancock of his peril,
and the latter escaped onss horseback
through northern Texas and the Indian
Territory, with Ouray's party gallOping
close behind him until he reached the
Union lines. They talk it over now,
Hancock, Ouray and HasWeh, and all
agree that the latter's ride was well
taken.

Strange Phenomenon.


FoRsYTH, Ga, Aug. 3.-This city is
much excited over a mysterious deVel-
Opment in a house three miles out, occu-
pied by Mrs. Sandifer and Mrs. McAfee,
two widowed sisters. The house is con-
tinually pelted with stones which seem
to come from nowhere. Mr.. Wiley Brett
has brought into town one of the stones
which had fallen and which was not of
meteOric character. It was one that
was lying on the ground with the dirt
still adhering to it. This was one of the
largest that had fallen, and weighed two
pounds. 1t had come In at the window
just before Mr.. Brett had left. A visit to
the house found the ladies at home, sur
rounded by a number of friends, who
were Vainly endeaVOring to fathom the
mystery. The trouble started several
days ago when a stone fell violently up
on the roof of the house. Mrs McAfee
thought it was a negro boy on the prem
ises who had been guilty of some mis-
deed and had been reprOved for it, but
he clearly showed his innocence. In a
short time another fell and then another,
and so stones kept falling, some striking
the roof, some the side of the house, and
others dropping in the yard. They would
fall thus at intervals. This is kept up
until midnight, when 1t ceases until sun
rise. A thorough search was made of
the premises without reaching a solution
Of the mystery. The stones were evil
IDENTIFY raised from the ground around
the house. Some of them, early in the
morning, were wet on one side, and one
had clay on it, as if it had come out of a
branch a hundred yards distant. Some
people think the stones come from the
sky, but wherever they come from they
have set many people to praying, and
when taken in connection with the num-
Der Of electrical girls who are coming to
the front, some folks assert that the end
of the world is at hand.

Fence.
New York Sun.
A stubby chunk Of a boy was blowing
in a Bergen County field a few days ago.
The sun was blistering hot. A lean man
sat on the fence in the shade of a maple
tree, looking at the boy. His trousers
were in his boots, and his chin hat was
turned up behind. A San reporter leaned
on the fence near the man.

said the reporter, referring to the plow-
ing.
Eyes" said the man; "but the boy
don't know it. They're all alike, for that
matter"
''Who are all aIike?" asked the re-
porter.
Farm hands," said the man on the
fence.
"And it's a good thing for the farmer
that they are all alike"
The man watched the plowboy as he
jerked the heavy pillow around at the end
of the furrOW, and started back across the
field to make another one.
cts good thing, 1 tell yOu," the
man went on; ''it's a good thing for the
independent farmer that his hired help
has never got into the habit of stopping
to think"
"Ahp said the reporter. allows that?'
"HOW's that?" replied the man on the
fence. Its something like this: Take
that boy for instance. He'll answer for
them all. He left a farmer, by the way,
that he was working for last week, be-
cause the farmer required him to walk
five miles to do an errand. The boy said
he wouldn't work for any man that want
ed him to do work that'd tire a horse
out. So he came to work blowing in that
field early this morning. By 6 o'clock to-
night, if the harness holds out and the
pillow don't break, he'll have close on an
acre and a half of ground turned over.
Yes, just about, for he's cutting 9-inch
furrow slice.
"Weu, now, he's working along there

miles on a hot Summers day. Now,

to think a minute. And then suppose he

TO pacing out the length of 'em. What
would he learn? Why, he'd learn that
each one Of those burrows was 30 feet
long, and that before he got his days

that fact had worked its way in under
his hat, suppose he should be moved to

to cipher, for the sake of the argument.
