r.en; Of Danger.
(Co!Gm6iA, tx. Di;~Datcd to Chitago ItMe$.)
An exciting and dramatic incident
occurred here last week. Sunday
morning two men rode Into town.
Their remarkable appearance 1T once
attracted the attention OF every one.
iilc> were covered Will! mud and
carried Il perfect arsenal o.! rifles, pis-
tots and knives with s:,c!r. O.e was L
man over 90, with long gray hair, and
blord in his eye; The other was a man
of 80 wears, built like q giant and
wearing d terrible scowl on his face.
They were father and sou, William
WotIord and Sam Wotford, from the
backwoolS OF Matagorda county. The
Old man said he was looking ior his
"darlei Kate who had 'lit out" with
her cousin, Bill Wottord. The father
and son located the runaway couple,
who were occupying Il small fisher
man tent half;l L mile outside of the
town. When old Wotlord found out
the location of his crring "tlarter" Il
large crowd of curious men and boys
followed the terrlblc-lookin@ pair to
the vicinity Of the tent. as the old man
kept continually examining his gun
and saving: "Sam, Fin go'en to Kill
hlm, sual.." AS they Ieared the tent
the crowd fell back, While the old man
and his giant son approached with
rifles in hand. Suddenly the flap Of
the tent was violently thrown open
from the inside and there stood Bill
and Kate, each holding u terrible Vim
chester rjflc-one covering the old
man, and the other the SON. Old
gray head and sam glared like two
wild beasts Oh the brave lovers and
Bill called out: "Do you s'poSe I'm
gone to give her up artcr VIC done
| tramped il together all the way from
the Colorado 10 the Brazos:: Not
much; she's mine, and YOU star there
now and sec us married" The old
man and Sam, under cover oi the
suggestive Winchestcrs, slowly moved
back, all the time facing the boy Bill
/ and his Kate, who had the drop on
them. Meantime a courier had gone
to town for license and i preacher,
and after nearly two hours, during
which time Bill and Kate never took
their eyes off the old man and Sam
| and threatening TO Kill either should
he raise a hand, the preacher and the
| license arrived.
During the ccremonoy the bride
groom kept his rifle at a haH>cock
pointing toward his father-in-law
The preacher was so afraid they would
open hostil,icS while he was there he
could scarcely finish the ceremony.
After the marriage the OLD man dcliv-
cred terrible curse on both said he
would spare their lives now, provided
they never set foot in Matagorda
county. "If you do" said he, as he
| shook his long, dirty yellow locks and
and violently struck his rifle with one
hand, eff YOU do, you're both on you
dead soon as YOU cross The line, for
when I'm gone Sam he's there. You I've
got the world before you 'ccpt Mata-
gorda county. Now go." With this
philippe the old man and son departed
forlorn, while Bill pulled down the
flap Of the tent.

(CaJlegrnm to tie Nen York Mrali)
The change in the temper of parties
in the House toward home rule is due
to profound change in the constitu-
ent clement of the House of Commons
itself. The new Parliament is essen
italy an assembly OF working men, in
the scrsc that its members attend scri-
ously to their business. The Scotch,
Welsh and English Democratic mem
bers emulate BY their constant and
unrelnitting attention the Irish men,
bers, and except for the hours ncces-
sary for sleep they seem always pres
cnt. Hours before the House meets
they arc in the library attending to
correspondence. After /, when the
business begins. they seem to be always
on hand unit; ,, 5 and even I o'clock

OUT are things Of the past. There is
no more talking to empty benches. AT

one having anything to say worth

to suppress bores. The Government
has lost its grip over members. The

Ancient etiquette and precedent arc 1T

masters, and they will Tot stand any
nonsense. They vole against tic min-

Already they have established i Pau

consistent. They no longer dare to
follow the old time custom OF speaking
in office against the reforms they ed

indication Of q disposition to do so
Immediately provokes ominous howls
of dissent and dissatisfaction. Oh
time politicians are in Gismay. Whig

A. 7. STEWARDS METHODS

ma Phenomenal Loagheadedness In Com
msrc'ai Ventures His New Manager.
"Hslston" in New York Times
Mr.. Stewards mastery Of his gigantic
business interests was pheno renal. lie
seemed to know everything, seemed to
control everything, required TO push his
great successes. No matter what was
the experience of another dry goods
men he becaIe powerless in the Stew
art establishment; no man but he who
founded it could manage that famous
house in his day. The best meu obtain.
able were always on salary with him.
He never saw q man whose enterprise
and methods pleased him that he did
not at once set about planning to bring
that man into his employ.
So once In Boston he became inter-
ested in the methods of the manager Of
0 prominent house, and by the offer of
an increased salary employed him, and,
bringing him to New l ork, placed him
in charge of one of the departments OF
the big store In some way an immense
stock of goods had accumulated IN that
department, and Mr.. Stewart, showing
his new manager about, pointed out
this fact and asked what he would dc
with those goods. They represented
value of s., 200 or more. he BOSTON
man hesitated little, but finally he Le-
came brave, warmed up tn his theme,
and evolved very beautiful scheme Tor
the disposition of the goods gradually.
Stewart listened attentively, drawing
out his new superintendent on even the
minutest details. Then, when he had
heard I'll that the manager had TO say,
he quietly remarked
That may be a good way, but I've
got different way. ] am glad know
what You would have done, though.
[ uder these circumstances / always like
TO know the ideas Of my men-it always
enables me to detect when any attempts
are made to depart from my instruc-
tons And ust bear one thing in mind:
I've employed you to carry out orders;

Then the famous merchant laid out
wholly di .erent plaza plan that
seemel TO the new arrival the vastest
and foollshest OF schemes, whose result
would only he erwhi min, and I'M

though, would hrooi n further sugges-
tons; his mini WIS m ,de up; over
board all al on e went thG tremendous
stock. ut that same gentleman rom
oston, a man OF stan ling in the trade
has since confessed that tewart knew
what he WIS about, and that the or
ders he "a to sacri &C the goods
proved his characteristic longheaded-
ness. Within twelyemonth goods of
that same sort were drug in the mar
ket, and il any other than Mr. Stewards
own plan had been carried out the
losses would have Leen more than double
than really followed the off hand sacri-
ficos that were made.

why People We're Buried.

when men began to bury their dead
they did so in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded rs the ex.
act counterpart OF this present one. The
unsophisticated savage, holding that in
that equal sky his faithful dog would
bear him company, naturally enough
had the dog in question killed and
buried him, in order that it might fol-
low him to the happy hunting ground.

Of that crude and simple early faith.
\ cry crude and illogical. indeed, il was,
however, for it is quite clear that the
actual body Of tho dead man was
thought Of as persisting to live sort of
underground life within the barrow. A
stone hut was constructed for its use
real weapons and implements were
left by its side, and slaves and wives were
ruthlessly massacred. as still in Ashantee,
in order that their bodies might accom-
pany the corpse of the buried master in
his subterranean dwelling. In all this
We have clear evidence OF very incon.
sistent, savage, materialistic belief, hot
indeed in the immortality of the soul,
but in the continued underground life
Of the dead body.
