dragon OF Piedras Negras, Mexico, that he
was horse, thief was taken from
the Mexican prison eight hours after
his incarceration, carried two miles
below Piedras Negras with his hands tied
behind him, and brutally shot and buried
at the command OF fMondragon. The MUIR
dered man had taken out papers OF citizen
ship on Aug. 15, 1873, and prominent
men in Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras
bear testimony that Rasures was an hon
orable, upright man. The secret underly-
ing this outrage is that Rasures had won
the affections of woman of whom Chief
Mondragon was enamored. Mondragon,
swearing vengeance detailed two of his
trusted lieutenants one night to murder
his rival. Rasures badly disabled his
assailants and escaped to Eagle Pass.
Mondragon, however, trumped up q
charge of horse theft against him, and had
him extradited and shot. The night that
Rasures was delivered to the Mexican au-
thorities Mondragon left for Saltillo, not,
however before having delivered orders
The victim, in a pathetic letter, appealed
to United States Consul Lynn to save him,
saying he was an American citizen and
that Mondragon had him arrested to
crafty his vengeance. This letter was de-
livered to Lynn ten hours after it's author
was shot.

The Mighty Fallen.

About month after the inaugura-
tion of President Cleveland, says
"Towle" in the Boston Traveller, a
prominent pollution from Delaware
went to Washington with the idea that
good, fat Office was awaiting his ac-
ceptance. He was friend of Secre.
tary Bayard, he had a good soldier
record and he stood we'll at home.
One day he met an old friend on Penn
sylvania avenue, in whom he recog-
nized the colonel OF the regiment in
which he had served. The colonel was
asked what he was doing, and he re-
spOnded that he was night watchman
i'll the treasury department. Upon
hearing this the rage of the Delaware
man knew no bounds. He raved
and swore that the colonel should be
occupying such lowly position after
his brilliant service to the country.
Days and weeks and months passed.
The face of the Delaware office seeker
became as familiar about the uptown
hotels as those of the ''maiahs and
jedges" who have been doing Wash
ington since the close of the war. FL
nally, one day the man from the Blue
Hen state, who wanted nothing less
than foreign mission, called upon his
old friend, the colonel. Said he: ''Old
fellow, I've got a place at last. I've
been appointed night watchman in the
state department. Please lend me a
quarter to pay the notary so that l
can be sworn in" Hegot the quarter,
and is now full-fedged guardian of a
portion of the vast property of the
government.

Carefulness of Cleveland.

The Washington Capital tells the
following story of President Cleve-
lands carefulness in one instance:
heard q good story illustrating the
care that President Cleveland exercises
before approving bills which are sent
to him by congress. The late Senator
Miller of California had been much in
terested in the passage of q bill for the
relief of certain informers, whose
claims accrued while he was collector
OF the port of San Francisco. After
his death the fact that he had been in
terested in the bill was quite infuen-
tial in securing its passage in both
houses. When it reached the Presi-
dent he looked into it with his usual
care and discovered that some
$500 which the bill appro-
priated, had already been paid to the
parties. When Representative FELTON,
went to urge the President to approve
the bill he was informed of that fact
and told that it would be necessary
to have the money refunded, and that
II it was not refunded he would becom-
PEELED to veto the bill. Mr.. FELTON,
went away and returned on the ninth
day after the bill reached the Presi-
dent, and again spoke about the mat
ter. Mr., Cleveland then told him that
he would insist on the payment of the
money, and that if Mr., FELTON, chose
TO give his check to- that amount.
which was $S03 .96, he would approve
the bill, but otherwise he would Ger.
tainly veto it. Mr.. FELTON, thereupon
gave his cheek for the amount, which
vas turned into the treasury, and the
president signed the bill.

july Cold and Starvation.

A dispatch from St. Johns, N. F., says:
The schooner Barrett has put in here,
bringing the latest news from the Labra-
dor coast. For nearly two weeks she was
blockaded in York harbor, forty miles
east of Northwest river, by field OF ice.
She brings five families who had reached
that point from Sandwich bay, over one
hundred miles inland, on sledges drawn
by ponies, on which they subsisted,
;tter their arrival. York Harbor is
crowded with fugitives. but these come
from the southern coast and know othing
OF their northern neishbors. On July 10 a
two days snow storm buried Eastern Lab
rador, cutting of all communication with
it's population of $4,000 persons. The
snow has closed all the trails. The relief
vessels will now 60 direct to York bay to
relieve first the sufferers there. A
White Bay dispatch states that whal-
ers report that Hudson bay strait is again
frozen over, which il an un-
precedented occurrence at this season.
The report that the temperature is 1U deg.
below zero is, however, denied. 1t has not
gone lower than 10 deg. above. The cold
results from immense masses OF Arctic ice
along the coast, and it does not extend be-
yond 200 miles from the sea. Up to date
62O survivors have arrived here. The
number that have died is estimated at L.
500. Since Saturday an east wind has
blown off the banks increasing the firmness
OF the coast ice.

The Modern Evangelist,
Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle.

Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle.
My son, ! observe that you are
pleased to be a little bit sarcastic on
thesubject OF the "modern evangelist"
You sneer at him, because, unlike
Philip the evangelist, he carefully
avoids the way (which is desert" and
refuses to preach, save in the great
cities, in the busy centers of religious
activity, where there are great multi
tudes and much applause, and,
as you hold, some gain. All this
is undoubtedly true. The evange-
list of to-day loves crowd.
He knows the value of q huge
audience and rattling fusilades of ap-
plause. He will not 60 into the des.
ert on the chance o. converting a sin
gle sinner from far away Ethiopia,
but don't you see. he can fire his gos-
pei battery into whole regiment of
sinners by going to town? AS he does
not have the power that certain old
fashioned preachers had some 1000
years ago, OF drawing multitude af-
ter him into the wilderness, he wisely
goes after the multitude But then,
my boy, SO do the eloquent preachers
of no religion. So do these learned
and unselfisE men who teach suffering
humanity that theevangelist Is fraud
and all religion a sham. They like
wise seek the city and the multitude,
and, not having the faith in the finan-
cial liberality of their audiences that
the evangelist has in his, these re-
formers fear to lean upon the much
despised collection and SO charge so
cents at the door. No ticket, no lib
eral theology. 1t is only the gospel
that is free from all, my son. Now,
do let the evangelist have his way, as
well as that "reformer." Let him 60
where the crowd is. He won't hurt
the crowd. He doesn't teach, the
multitude to do anything wfong.
Herr Most didn't get into jail for lis
tening to Sam Jones. The Chicago
anarchists were not the outgrowth of
a revival meeting. No Presbyterian
elder. no Methodist class leader, no
Baptist deacon has been indicted for
throwing bombs at the police. There
may have been an infdel or two, a
free thinker, maybe an atheist, per-
haps, mixed up in that crowd of anar-
chists; do not positively know, but
there may have been; you can easily
ascertain. But I do know that the
deacon and the elder weren't there.
None of Sam Jones converts were
there. The evangelist may have some
odd, rough, funny ways OF teaching,
but he doesn't teach evil He doesn't
persuade men to do wrong. He does
not lift up his voice and cry aloud for
free whisky and no Sunday. 1t is true
that be gets paid for his preaching.
but it seems to me, my son, that
some kinds of preaching are worth
paying for as well as Others.

Wisconsin Mound Builders.

Rev. Stephen D. Peet, editor OF the Ameri.
can Antiquarian, spent two days recently
investigating the Indian mounds around
Delavan Lake, Wis. He found some re.
markable and interesting eifigies at Lake
Lawn, and furnishes the following report
to the Delavan Republican:
There is no doubt that the lake was a
iavorite resort with the Mound Builders
and the prehistoric races as well as with
the modern inhabitants. The love OF beau
ty and the delights OF natures lovlipess
were as strong with them al with us. 1t il
a singular fact that they chose the spot for
the erection OF their massive earthworks
which is now selected for the cottages OF the
campers, and the effigies are now seen in
close proximity to these modern struc-
lures.
The visitor may have noticed series Of
ridges at Lake Lawn, but it is not likely
that any oil them have realized the variety
OF symmetrical figures which lie hidden
back OF these rude shapes. The plotting OF
these has revealed the fact that they are
in the shape OF birds, turtles, and other
animals, and that many Of them were orig
inally very accurate limitations. The
writer has discovered at least
ten eGigies in this one group.
Thee are, however, several effigies
which nave been obliterated. The object
Vi Tic group ~ uuknoWI, anu YET Une num-
her OF the etiigies is in itself quite remarka-
BILE. 1t is seldom that SO many effigies are
found in the same space OF ground. There
are here about thirty-seven large efiigies,
all Of them confined to the space of five
acres, and are SO thick together that
they make the ground extremely
rough with their protuberances. The
size of the efiigies vary from fifty
to $50 feet in length and thirty to fifty feet
in width. and the birds senerally preserve
their natural proportion. Although the
efiigies are SO large that their shape may
elude the eye and make it difficult for an
ordinary person to trace them out yet the
plotting and drawing OF the figures will
readily show the design. Itshould be said,
however, that some Of them have been
nearly obliterated owing to the
treading OF cattle for the last
forty years, and the stranger
must not expect too much. The presence
of campers has had a tendency to wear
them down. 1t is well that one who is ac-
qnainted with the subject and who knows
the shapes which the effigies had before
they were run down, is able to visit them
and make q plot of them, for in a few years
this will be impossible for any one to do.
There are other mounds at Petersburg and
in Sennett's woods one mile south Of Dele
van.

Another Terrific Hail Storm.

Hallock, Special.-The most destructive
hail storm which ever visited the valley
struck the vicinity OF Argyle, Marshall coun-
ty, Saturday, the 24th. about O clock
1t came across the Red River at point
due east OF Stephen, and travelled south
east, crossing the Manitoba track at Ar
gyle, and passed south over tract OF
good farming country east OF Warren. A
strip from three to s tx miles wide and fif-
teen to twenty miles long are laid waste as
to crops, and in Argyle scarcely pane OF
glass is lett on the northeast side of build
ings. The wind having then shifted a little
to the ives t. siding was knocked off build
5ngs, shingles off the roofs and pfckets
of the fences. Al! he lights in
the east side of the Ste ne hotel were
knocked out but two. Hailstones were
found four and half inches in diameter,
and one weighing four ounces was exhibit
ed on the train, thirty-six hours af-
ter the storm. The stones knocked down
horses in the street, killed number of
pigs for farmer hundreds OF chickens and
turkeys, and not a live prairie chicken is
left in the path of the storm. Very few
fields will be worth harvesting, and plows
will be started at once. The best Uniformed

hindrance and cut as much timber as he
may want for his own use for legitimate
purposes.
Second-The commissioner Of the gener-
nj land office may issue to firms of whose
integrity and business reliability he has no
doubt q permit for length OF time not ex-
ceeding two years to enter upon the miner
al lands and cut and saw timber for the
open market; but such firms shall always
keep open to the inspection OF the special
agent of the land offices books showing
complete record OF the lumber sold and the
