Archer's Timber Legs.
From the Chicago Herald.

cIOul luo NuACdBO ueT0lus .@
"The most peculiar thing I ever no
ticed about Jockey Fred Archer" said
an old English sport recently, twas
the deliberation with which he settled
himself in his saddle. It rarely took
him less than five minutes to get his
position, but when he did get settled
there wasn't a horse on the continent
that could shift him. Archer had pc
culiar legs. They were abnormally
long from the knee to the ankle, and
wonderfully elastic. These legs stood
Archer in good stead in q hard race.
With his knees pressed dead against
the paniers of his saddle he could re-
move his feet from the stirrups, and,
curling that portion of his legs below
the knee high upon the TANKS of his
nag, rake the flesh with his sseels.
Archer was the only jockey in the
world who could perform this feat. 1t
was seldom that he chose to do it, but
when he did you could rest assured
that the race wasfor blood. The dead
Jockey won many ahard-fought battle
i'll this manner. I have seen his feet
suddenly leave the stirrups when he
was being hard pressed near the judge's
stand, and then watched his horse
springto thefront as the glittering steel
to the wiry legs ofhis rider sank deep IN.
to the flesh. No.; sir; Archer didn't seem
to have q bone in his legs from the
knee down. They were as supple as
willow twigs."

The Fountain Of VITALITY.

The source of physical energy N mental activ-

bile, or thin n watery in consequence Of In

and a loss of stamina. flesh and appetite ensues.

A Mad Parson.

'Good-by for q season, count" said
Rev. Joel McWacker, of Tombstone,
shaking hands across the counter in the
Office of the palace yesterday.
"Are you off for ArizonaP" inquired
Count Smith.
mo sir; my destination is Carson, I
have been cruelty libeled by The Appeal,
of that place, count, and I am going up

I have a look at the editor, whether it
will be a fight or a libel suit. But you

.'that there will be tufts of fur on the

expedient size. I didn't lift anvils with
my teeth, and catch cannon balls in a

The count did as required, and MI.
McWhacker added: .
1T is now ten years since I shook
the sawdust and returned to the pulpit,
but I have got some muscle left. It is
universally admitted ii Tombstone that
I'm . tough man for my weight and
age. The appeal has been digging into
my past life, and the nearer I get to
Carson the madder I'll grow. It's my
way. think you may rely upon there
being no libel suit"

A Little Story with a Big Point.
From Harper's Magazine.
DR.. Burt G. Wilder, the well-known
naturalist, relates that his parents
being Grahamites, his earliest years
were passed in ignorance of the fact
that people used flesh for food. BY
some change of opinion, how ever, they
came to more ordinary customs, and
one day a roasted chicken was served
for dinner. The 6-year-old lad gazed
in bewilderment at this mysterious
dish for some moments, the light of a
great discovery dawned upon him and
at length he burst out in conviction
and establishment, II bet that's q
dead hen!"-a conclusion there was
no g~ainsaying.

most every day they hear rumblings and
shocks of earthquake, accompanied by
. noise similar to the growing Of an
approaching storm. 1t is now claimed
that a great s~ubterranean passage exists
between Charleston and Ninety-six and
that the sounds are thus communicated.
Several times when shocks were felt at
Charleston they were %perceptible at
Ninety-six. and at no other place in
the country. The matter has created
considerable excitement In the South
Carolina up country, and scientists will
be called upon to explain the matter.

THE boldness with which the hostile leader has led his warriors up among the settlements of southern Pims, sh Jws that he fully realizes the desperate con- dition in which he has become involved and purposes to strike terror through out as wide section of country as 1t Is possible for him to reach before an averaging bullet chances to penetrate his carcass. Armed even better than our own troops, and supplied with an ap- parent abundance of ammunition, with the choice of the hest and heetest mounts t. be found in either Sonora or Arizona, the ability of the Apaches to shed human blood IS only limited by their fiendish desire to do SO. They have ma1e a sudden, bold and unex- pected dash, at time when preparations to meet any and every emergency of the kind were about being made, and some valuable time Is necessary lost to the military ID opposing the progress of the Indians. Troops will doubtless be thrown into the Santa RitGs from their eastern slope and northern end, and, an advance made westward from Nogales, to cut off their escape into Sonora by that route. There are troops already upon the route by which they entered Arizona from Sonora, and if the military movements can be effected with suffi- cIent promptness the hostiles may suffer 8 disaster. It IS probable that the DOT tlon of the band making into the Santa Ritas, may seek an outlst through the Patagonia mountains and Ihe San Rafael ranch, or near the Huschuca range, drawing the bulk of the military forces thither while the other wing makes a leisurely march up the Santa Cruz and across the lne. There are so many opportunities for their escape, in spite Of the utmost precau;ion, that fl is hardly probable the tieet-footed devils will be made to suffer the punishment they richly merit.

TIE speech of Jeff Davis 10 Gn assem- bled multitude ct Montgomery, Ala bama, on Wednesiay, has served to re- awaken the old passions and prejudices created more than a quarter of century ago by Q cotsrie oi arch traitors and coDspirators among whom he was conspicuous character. Standing on ths steps of the state capitol, with the im- prisoned folds of the insulted emblem of our nation shrinking from the sllght- est defililg contact with the grey and scanty locks of its lifelong enemy, he harangued the crowd with the same se- diuous language winch once before turned theIr brains to fire and their happy homes to Yoeful desoiatiOn. De liant and rebellious still, although in the full enjoyment of the great blessings of peace that the triumph of 6 righteous cause has forced him to endure, he has given new proof that, If the remorseless hand of time would but stay its enfeeb- ling grasp upon him, and wipe out for tune is recording furrows frem his brow and melt it's fros.s from his locks, his hand is ready to grasp the torch and sword and sweep his country with a bosom of flame, and deluge 1t with hu- man blood to satisfy his selfish and con- suming ambition. The holy war, which Christianity alone approved" is all bosh. The viciss!tuies of time have given into tine hands of the people whom he claims to be loyal only to the disloyal cause. the moulding into Gn united country of every principle that served as s pretext for insurrection, save that of destroying the adhesive force of the union. The Host cause" laid down l its weapons O. war at the command of its conquerors at arms, but it won a glorious victory in the silent and blood less battle of peace, and ought to feel content. The sentiments expressed by the still unconstructed traitor, we do not believe are endorsed by the more thoughtful and reasonable people of the South. We hold better opinion of them, and credit them with less hypoc- risy and more loyalty than Jeff Davis proclaims them to possess, aud his In- discreet utteEsnees may more properly be set down as the garrulity Of Q crushed and disappointed old man, In the sour stage of his dOtRge.

GENERAL SHERIDAN is right for once He complains that the local press has announced important Indians news be- fore it was officially received ID Wash ington. This is a hatteriDg testimonial to the superior enterprise of the press. But perhaps he refers to the sudden ex- pansion of his ten official hostiles into a band of three score and ten actual warriors-a bit of news that the press announced months before It was off, cially believed in Washington. But a lIttle reflection would have convinced the illustrious general that the press does not rely upon the military officials for its news, entirely; and il usually manages to record the facts closely on to the heels of their occurrence, in spite of ironclad orders.

Mosr of the presidents grever blun- ders have been caused by his erroneous notion that nobody else under the skies can adequately i'll his place. and that the government would be forced to sus- pend but for him. There could be no graver error. So far as we have heard there has lived but one man whose rela- ton in life was such as to cause an Rb- solute vacuum when he passed away. He was a gentleman of color and lived on Long Island, and was widely known for his many virtues. The farmers for miles around employed his intelligent and exDerl cnced services for the destruc- tion of a certain justly abused and nal odorous animal which occasionally in tested their barns. When he died, 1t was mournfully and truly sad that his like would never again be found, and to this day his place in the esteem and service of the public remains vacant But with this solitary exception "maD yet can do what has b. man been done" The president should come a little closer to the people who took him mp New York Tribune.
