farmer with fraud in false packing, so
he concluded to abide his time. About
a month ago the farmer came to town
with more cotton to sell, but the mer-
chant declined to buy it, saying that he
was not in the market that day, but he
would be glad to sell him anything in
his line at bottom prices, in fact, $50
sheep as never pcfore vas"
When the farmer had sold his cotton,
and priced goods at other stores he re-
turned to the merchant, and, finding
his prices SO much below those of other
merchants, he bought quite n large bill

Had n Dead Arm.

The other day a we'll known Detroit
doctor was eating lunch in a restaurant
alongside of a business man, when the
latter remarked:
II just saw a case to interest you in
the cigar store. There is a man who
has no feeling at all in his right arm"
"Case of paralysis, of course, replied
the doctor.
ooh, no, it isn't. He has been ex-
ahmed by some of the most eminent
surgeons and they declare that it isn't.
If it was a case of paralysis he couldn't
move his arm you know"

man was introduced.

The Riot Germ.

A New York Tribune correspondent
says: l asked Colonel Picard, the COM
mandcr of the 18th Ohio at the Cincin-
natl riots, if he anticipated further
trouble in Cincinnati, and he said:
'The riot germ exists in all large cities.
1t is growing and it is only a question
OF time when it will burst out. 1t NAV
be political discussion or it may be
other causes that will give it a start.
But it is sure to come. The lack of tho
mob element is leadership, and the
safety Of society lies in organization.
They had a leader one of the nights of
the riot at Cincinnati. He was q big
fellow with a rcd flag. They followed
him up to within ten yards Of O bar
ricades. but when he was dropped by a
bullet they fell back. My regiment
suffered severely. We had over twenty
five men wounded. My great difficulty
was to keep the men cool and TO pre-
vent them from firing indiscriminately
on the crowd. It is a severe test on
men to see their comrades dropping
around them md not to be allowed TO
return the fire.n

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.


A startling story M from Morgan
City, La, and is told by Third Assist
ant Keeper Keech, of the Ship Shoal
Station Lighthouse, on the Gulf of
Mexico. He says:
"I was third and Mr.. Dunn was prin-
cipal keeper of the lighthouse, We had
started the first and second assistant
keepers up the A~tchafalaya Bayou for
provisions. They did not come back,
and, after waiting five days for their re-
turn-the distance was only about so
miles-we concluded that something
serious had happened to them. The
morning of the fifth day, while we were
tarring outside, we noticed a boat be-
Gained to the southwark. and on ex-
that it was the missing boat belonging
and pulled out to her. On getting
man. and he was a stranger. 1 asked
him where he was going with our boat.
He said he was going to ~Pascagoula,
and asked in. return what light that was.
I told him it was the Ship Shoal, and
asked him where he had gotten the boat
from. He said he had bought her of
three men near Morgan city, for 800. I
told him our first and second assistant
Keepers had gone up the bayou in her;
that we hadn't seen them since, and
that I proposed to take him to the sta
ton. he made no resistance.
s'For three days we fed and watched
him, hearing nothing from the missing
keepers. The fourth night Dunn was
in the watch room, and I lay asleep be-
low in my wi room. I was awakened
by a terrible pain in my head, and found
myself bleeding and the stranger stand
ing over me with a Ratchet giving it to
me as fast as ever he could. / yelled,
murder! murder!' jumped up, called
again to Dunn to come down and help
me, and had no sooner got the words
out of mouth than the stranger out
with q revolver and began firing. Three
balls struck me and I fell in a faint.
Dunn in the meantime had hurried
down and armed himself, but when he
got to the foot of the stairway all was
quiet and dark in my room, and he
could not hear anything. He crept
cautiously into the small room where
the small lamps were kept, past a sky
1ight that caught the CLEAN of the big
lantern. The stranger was watching
Tor him, n banged away at him
through my window, hitting him in the
right shoulder. Dunn fired back into
the darkness in the direction of the
flash, and the stranger shot him twice
more, again in the right shoulder and
in the right side. Dunn fell over, but
got up at once, and just then I came.to
and called him. We heard nothing
more of the stranger for some minutes,
and then discovered that he had gone
aloft into the watchroom. We barri-
caded the stairway, covered the sky
light, and then turned to estimate dam
ages. I was ready to faint again from
loss of blood. Half my face was gone,
just as you see, and I had three pistol
wounds. Poor Dunn was suffering
principally from the two bullet wounds
in has shoulder Each of us had to use
the left hand in binding up as best we
could the others. wounds. The next
day we took our prisoner to Morgan
City, and he is now in Jail there. He
gives his name as Davy Jones. He is a
hideous looking man, all the lower side
of his face being chopped away in the
encounter"

revelation, He must have left some
authorized interpreter of it; otherwise,
1t would be out puzzle given to un-

'unlearnei and unstable might 'wrest
to their own destruction
Fourth. That since the mission OF

to observe ali things, whatsoever He

teacher teaching in Christ's name, and
"a one having authority, TO guide
His people unerringly in the way Of
