A Tragedy of the Far West.

A dispute arose in an Indian camp
near Stockton Hall, Arizona, recently,
and before it ended buck named Pizzur
with his Winchester rifle shot and killed
All Quinthe and his squaw, daughter
of Chief Levc-Leve, mortally wounded
another buck and another daughter of
the chief, and slightly wounded two
other Indians. Then the murderer fled,
pursued by mounted braves. Head Chief
Surrum arrived at the camp soon after,
and his first order was to kill all the rel
atives of the murderer. The sQuaws and
pappooscs hurried to the miners camp
near by, and begged hiding places in
their cabins, and this aroused the miners,
who told the chief that he could not
cary out his bloody plan, and that he
mus. countcrmand his order. He re-
luctantly complied, but issued fresh
orders to bring Pizzur in at any cost.
In the mean time the avengers were
riding fast after the fleeing murderer,
and followed his trail into the Wallarai
Valley until darkness put an end to the
pursuit. Early next morning they took
up the trail, and. after riding twelve
miles. they came upon the dead bodies
of the murderer and his horse. 1t was
apparent that after riding his horse until
h. gave out the Indian killed him, and
then. putting the muzzle of his Win
chester to his right eye. pulled the trig'
ger, and cheated his pursuers of theil
anticipated vengeance.

John MOrgan's Moment Of Peril.

During the raid of John Morgan
through Ohio in 1868, he halted part OF
his command at Senecaville to rest while
the advance proceeded to Campbell's
Station to burn the warehouse, and cut
the telegraph wires of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Morgan, who was man
of splendid personal appearance, stopped
his carriage in front of a millinery shop
that. was presided over by a strong
minded, patriotic lady whose husband
and two brother; were in the Union army
at the time. Her husband had presented
her with a fine revolver before he went
away, and she hid promised to shoot the
first Confederate with it that put himself
IN reach of its contents, but little dream
inc that such an event would occur in less
than fortnight afterward. She stepped
to window. and parted the blinds enough
to see Morgan and not be seen by him.
AS the lady spied the large silver star
that Morgan Invariably wore on the lapel
of his coat. she concluded it would be
good target to shoot at. She stepped
back to drawer where she kept the pls-
tol, took it out, cooked it, and took de-
liberatc am through the aperture in the
blind at the silver star; but, just when
she was ready to tou:h the trigger, she
thought of Mrs. Morgan and what her
anguish would be when she heard OF his
death, an how grateful she would be if
her own husbands life had been spared.
The revolver was lowered, and the lady
stepped to the door, and was engaged in
conversation by the RAIDER chieftain. She
courageously told him what she had at
tempted to do. and was told by Morgan
good that he had no doubt
but his wife was praying for him at that
time, and that it was not the first time
Mrs. Morgap's prayers had saved his life.
Morgan then bid the lady hearty fare,
we'll, and passed on as though he had
not just been in imminent peril at the
hands of woman.- Chicago Ledger.

Country Love.

Bismarck loves the country, though
most of his life has been passed in cities.
"What l like best he once said, sis to
be in well-greased top-boots, far away
from civilization 1t is said that once,
while at school in Berlin, and walking
in the suburbs, he came across a plow.
His homesickness expressed Itself in
tears. In one of his early letters he
wrote: II am quite homesick for coun-
try, woodside and laziness, with the in.
dispensable addition of loving wives and
trim, well-behaved children" Phrenolo-
gists say that one of the largest organs
on B:smarck's massive head is that which
indie ates his love of children.
The German state man is never so hap
py, say his friends, as when ne is gazing
at beautiful landscape, or walking about
his farm. .,
"Believe me-" his wife once said, with
natural exaggeration, "a turnip interests
him more than all your politics"
His friends point to Lenbach's portrait
of Bismarck, which hangs in the National
gallery at Berlin as the one in which his
features assume their noblcst expression.
"We were engaged in conversation, "
said Bismarck, describing how that ex-
preston was caught by the artist, land
1 happened to look upward at a passing
flight of birds. Suddenly Lenbach en-
claimed: Hold hard that will do, cap
italy, keep quite STILL, and forthwith
made the sketch"
The Chancellor, when at Varz!n, his
country estate, banishes the cares of State
and becomes farmer and forester. In
"well-greased boots" with staff in hand,
he wanders about the woods and fields,
noting nature and his farmers. He takes
lessons in practical political economy
from his tenants, and questions his Ia
borcrs. The result is that he is an evenly
balanced statesman, and talks in Parlia-
ment about farming and forestry with
such good sense and knowledge as to
command the respect of practical men,

Fishermen Attacked by Eagles.

When Farmer John Martin and his
neighbor, Mr.. Streeter, OF Greece town
ship, near Rochester, N. Y, went fishing
at Long Pond one day recently they were
amply provided with all appliances for
capturing the pickerel that lie in wait
among the lily pads of that famous fish.
ing ground for the spoon hooks Of
anglers. Their luck was phenomenal.
Pickerel antl bass of glorious dimensions
took the lure in rapid succession. A few
hours fishing put them in possession OF
enough fish to satisfy reasonable men,
and they started to walk home. Their
path led them through piece of woods
near the pond, and in going through it,
at glade, they were decidedly startled
by a sudden attack of two large birds,
which flew at them Yiciously and COM
p ,lled them to drop the fish and defend
themselves.
One of the men had gaff o: fish
spear, and with it he struck at The birds,
finally so disabling the wing Of one of
one of them that it could not fly or con-
tinue the attack. The loss of its mate
cooled the courage of the other bird. and
it flew away. Mr. Martin and his friend
then approached the wounded bird,
which proved to be an eagle, and found
it far from subdued. Its beak and tai
ons were vigorously used, and it was
not until one of it's captcrs held it's head
down with stick while the other tied a
piece of fish line around its legs and a
handkerchief around its head that it
gave up the struggle. The eagle, still
alive, is now in Mr.. Martins possession.
Its injured wing is healing, ard its appe-
tite appears to be unimpaired, for it cas-
lily eats two pounds of meat daily.

The Rarest Plant in Mex leo.

In the botanical garden at the Palace,
SAYS q City of Mexico letter to the Pitts.
burg Dispatch, they have the celebrated
flower tzapahliquixochitl, Of the Aztecs.
The story runs that there are only three
of the. kind in the world, one at the Pal
ace, another at different point in Mex
leo and the mother plant on the noun
tain. At one time two tribes had long
and bloody war for the possession oil 1t,
so the story goes, but with a great deal
more cxagc ccration. The plant is com.
monty called the Flower hand" as they
claim the inside is a perfect baby hand.
l went TO see it, and was much disap-
poinrLd. The tree grows to good
height. The leaves, heart~shapc, are
thick and about the color of the under
part of silver maple leaf, except that
they are very rough. which prevents thrm
from glistening like the maple. The
thick. wax.likc, bcll.>hapcd red blossom
grows mou:h upward. and inside Is the
so-callcd hand. It has five fingers and
one thumb, but looks exactly like birds
claw, and not like hand The story
ran that there are but three in existence.
Without doubt the plant is rare, and
there may be no more than a dozen, If
that many, in the world; but have seen
in the gardens of two different gentlemen
the very same tree. One Of these gentle
men is in Europe, and the other bought
his plant from him, so there was no way
of learning where the tree came from.

Why the Irish Like Green.

The early Celts worshipped the Dawn
and the Sunrise. 1t is more than prob
able that the Irish preference of the color
green. for their flag and their sashes,
arose from a mistake among those who
had lost thorough knowledge of the
old Irish language. The sun, in Irish, is
called by a word pronounced like cur
word "gre,n," and it is likely that the
Irish fondness for that color arose from
the words exact likeness III sound to
tEeir word for the sun. In the same way,
when we talk about greenhouses. we
think they are called so because the
plants are kept green in them during
winter. Yet it is far more probable that
green here, is the Irish word meaning
not the color, but the sun; because green
houses are built so as to catch the suns
rays and store them up while it is hidden
by clouds, as happens more than half the
time in showcry Ireland. Century.

Endurance ut Sen.

In a recently published book Clark
Russell gives some remarkable instances
of human endurance at sea, and one of
the most interesting relates to an Arab
seaman, who lived without either food or
water for eighteen days, during which
time he dr.fted upward of FIVE hundred
miles in an empty tank before striking
the coast. Another instance of tenacity
of human life is exhibited in the ac-
count of the loss of vessel called the
Sally The Sally was struck one morn
ing by heavy squall. She lay over till
her decks were up and down, and in this
posture remained for aboIt five minutes,
and then turned keel upward.
Five of her crew were drown'd; the
remainder, six in all, got hold of spar
that was floating alongside, and by means
of it contrived to crawl on to the vessels

removed an iron hoop from it, with which
and bolt of a foot long they went to
work to penetrate the hull. in the hope
of obtaining food and drink. she had
heen lately cleaned, and there were no
barnacles on her for the poor fellows to
stay themselves with, and thus, in prob
ably the most awful situation that can be
imagined without meat, drink or sleep,
not daring to lie down for fear of falling
off the vessel, did these unhappy seamen
90 on hacking and scraping at the hard
wood for six days, during which time
one man died ravlng for drink.
On the sixth day they had made o
hole big enough to enable them to reach
barrel of bottled beer. On the elev-
enth day they gota barrel of pork, which
they ate raw. With slaves and shingles
used as dunnage, which they obtained
out of the hole they had made, they
manufactured platform, and so man
aged to obtain some rest. So matters
went on for fourteen days, and they were

Sailors are of opinion, says Mr.. Rus

be able to keep body and soul together

out to them; nor would any man be will

DREAMS.

,,Dreams are but interludes which fancy makes. "
In the purple dreamland lying,
White winged dreams,
Sleep with folded pinions fair
In the hearts of violets rare,
Where the yellow rose lies signing,
Slumbering seems.
Soft grey clouds with sleep o'erweigted
Far are seen,
And each heavy lidded star
Drifts through dream seas still and far,
Mists of gold, with peace o'erfreighted,
Lie between.
Brooding wings stretch DER the meadows
Purple barred,
Snowy lilies, faced with gold,
In their bosoms dreams enfold,
Where the night wings cast their shadows
Golden starred.
In the mist land dreams are lying
Full OF peace,
Weary souls give up dark care
In the dream land far and fair.
In the hearts of roses signing
Sorrows cease.

Seventeenth Century TODers.

Most of the Saxon drinking -cnps were
made without foot or stand, so that they
mnst he empticd before they could be
set down again on the table. But these
seventeenth century topcrs required that
a man, after drinking, should turn up
his cup and make pearl with what was
left on his nail. (which if shed, and can
not make it stand on by reason there is
tno much, must drink again for his pen
ance." This was drinking "supernagu.
lum," or as FLETCHER phrases it, lad
unguem." Another proof of having tossed
off his cup like a man was for the drinker
to turn it bottom upward, and, in ostenta'
tion of his dexterity, give it a flip to
make it cry 'ting." After all these tip
plings man was held to be . sober who y
could "put his finger into the flame Of the
