A HASTY RETREAT.

Wonderful Stampede Caused by Joking
with II POwder-HOuse.
There was fall of rock at one of
the tunnels on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. and our train was detained
at fag-station for three or four hours.
The passengers strolied about to pass
the time away, and dozen of us had
gone down the track half a mile to
wards the quarry when we came to 4
rough-looking shanty erected about
two hundred feet from the track, and
partly hidden by great rocks. There
was a small piece of red cardboard in
sight on the building, but if it had any
printing or writing on it we couldn't
see from that distance. A passenger
pulled out his revolver and observed:
Il think l can chip that card. though
its a pretty long shot"
He fired and missed it. Then a sec
ond pulled his revolver and fired and
hit the corner of the card. Then out
came seven or eight weapons and there
was general blazing away for at least
ten minutes, when the card fell. We
had just put up our pistols when a
man came running upfrom the quarry,
waving his hat and yelling: stop!
stop" When he reached us he was
out of breath and pale as a ghost
.W-what were you shooting at?" he
gasped.
Eat a red card on that shanty."
He beckoned for US to follow, and
led the way to the house and opened
the door. he place contained nine-
teen kegs of blasting powder and one

the Neapolitans are nearly all beggars.
No city in the kingdom is more popu-
lous or more poor. The mixture of the
Moorish blood with the Italian has
produced a race, among Europeans, at
all events, uneXampled for beauty.
cruelty. easy morality and intolerable
laZiness. AS you wander along the
streets you hear snatches of Moorish
music mixed with the true Neapolitan
refrains, and you see faces, especially
among the children of eight or nine
years, of quite incredible beauty. They
are the familiar characteristics OF the
beautifully set brow, the facile smile
and the eyes-sometimc brown, some
times blue, always expressive-and
every thing set OFF BY rich varnish OF
dirt. One is reminded of the old
fashioned nursery hymn:
My little body's full OF sin,
And al over is placed skin.
But. with all this, there is cOwarily
skulking and brutality that is not
Italian but oriental. No sight is more
common along that hill road leading
from the lannon's Santa Lucia to the
height of Pos lopi than to see miserable
little horses, bleeding and lame. totter-

swerves and falls. At the corner of
one wcll-knOwn street there is bird
shop where you may buy nightingales,
gO!dfinches and robins. Sometimes q
crowd of gamins is collected to witness
little surgical operation. Some
charcoal burns in a brasier0, and
the operator thrusts into it a needle
with a wooden handle. He then takes
from q cage recently-caught black
bird. and with the red-hot needle puts
out his eye. 1t needs much skill-skiil
that only comes from practice-to do
this successfully. An unsteady hand
would prematurely kill the bird In
most instances. where the operation is
successful. the birds do die, but that is
only after couple of days of agony.
You will see the patients in cages
hanging round the shop, with the sight

The Catholic clergymen in the east
are taking strong ground against dane
ing as a church exercise and all charity
balls will be taboOed. Hereafter no funds
raised by charity balls will be accepted
by the church for any purpose, and the
name "Catholic charity ball" is practi-
cally thing Of the past. Such balls
were prohibited by the third plenary
council at Baltimore, but the fact does
not appear to have been generally
known until Archbishop Ryan called at
tention to II In his recent notice to the
managers of the Catholic charity ball
of Philadelphia. Year by year the
Catholic clergy are drawing the line
closer on the subject of public amuse-
ments, and the truly faithful are called
upon more and more fully to have little
communion with the worldly. How far
this abnegation OF amusements by the
church. Catholic and Protestant alike,
can be carried without causing re-
action remains to be seen. Men and
women appear to be able to stand only
about so much prohibition and then the
reaction comes. Eastward Of the sun

The whirligig Of time brings round
Its own revenges. The knownothingism
OF the past becomes the new American
party OF today, and while there are
radical differences between them amply
demonstrates sufficient unity to claim
kinship with the old. The new Ameri-
can party wisely discards all reference
to religious matters In its platform, and
merely emphasizes the old idea Of re-
stricting foreign emigration while
giving special attention TO the need Of
protecting native American labor. These
two Ideas wisely inoultated and
judIclously formulated into a political
creed are destined to have great weight
in this country the coming decade.

Without ADEQUATE Cause,

fever thought to be cured. terminates and re-
fructihes in the system. This giant among
diseases cannot be laid out with quinine. The
only way to give 1t a final and extinguishing
quietus, is TO use persistently the national
antidOte to miasma poison, HOstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which roots il out completely.
The process of cure is Of course, much easier
IL the Bitters is used as preventive, when the
first chill is felt. but persons who are not
acquainted with the nature of the symptoms
are sometimes in error as to their cause, and
neglect the simple and pleasant remedy, of all
others best suited to check the progress of this
dreaded and destructive malady. Visitors to,
or sojOurners in, malarious localities will,
moreover, act the part of wisdom if they use
the Bitters as preparative. Rheumatism,
