A Japanese Scene.

About midway in the feast three
girls of sweet and serious countenance
came in with their musical instruments
and played to us divertingly. After
one instrumental piece the panels slip.
ped aside and three geishas, or dancing
girls, came gliding upon the scene, ar
rayed in exquisite kim0uos, or dresses
Of pale blue silk, brocaded with fam.
ing branches of crimson and gold ma
pie leaves. Their broad sashes, or
o6is, confining the folds of the loose
dresses at the waist, were the most
gorgeous of the rich old gold brocades;
folds OF contrasting Grape were laid in
the pointed neck Of their kim0uos, and
the glossy blue-black hair was dressed
in elaborate puffs and loops, held by
twists of bright Grape and thrust full of
silver hairpins. They carried fans of
gilt paper painted with maple leaves,
and to the music of the samisen. and
the plaintive voices of the musicians
chanting the song of the 'Maple Leaf" :"
these lovely creatures danced out that
poem. The dancing was all gliding
and posing to the slow measures Of the
song. The little white-stockinged feet
slipping over the polished mating and
showing in glimpses at the bottom of
the long kismonos, the bodies thrown
in graceful poses, and the play Of the
pretty fans were each studies In them
selves. The slow and graceful evolu-
tions. the eloquent play Of foot and fan.
and the exquisite beauty and pictur-
esqueness of the faces and figures were
most enchanting, and it was hard to
realize that I was not dreaming that
this gallery of living Japanese pictures
moved before me. 1t was the realiza-
ton Of all that fancy paints for one
who builds up an ideal japan from the
fine decorations of its art works. and
instead Of disappointing in any partic-
ular the three lovely geisk0s, In their
maple-leaf dresses, surpassed all
dreams. The second time the geishas
came in they were arrayed in kimoaos
of dark steel-blue Grape shot with ma
pie leaves, and their obs were Of gold
brocade. In those exquisite costumes,
with many poses and gestures, they
danced for US their song Of the four sea-
sons, the maple-leaf fans Auttering
finally to the floor as the slender little
figures crouched and shivered In the
cold winds Of autumn. Another dance
represented the rainy day, the three
pretty creatures clad In plaid dark-blue
Esn'oaos and carrying paper umbrellas,
as they posed and glided 70 the twapg-
ing Of the Oriental lutte. The last
dance was In solo BY one geiska, n.
rayed In . dark, mysterious EjmoNO,
with piece Of Grape wound about her
head, who sang With the musicians,

An Adventure With II Tiger

One afternoon, aS ! was returning
from the forest with my men, who had
been telling trees, walking in line ono
behind the other. as il their custom, a
tiger suddenly slipped from the Jungle
bordering the road. and in a moment
struck down youth few yards before
me. Idared not fire for fear of strik-
ing the youth; but his father, who was
walking just in front of him, armed
with spear. dashed on it and gave it
right willing thrust, which, with the
threatening group, made it quit its
hold, when it sprang into the thick jun.
gle. 1t was all the work of moment;
the stroke of its paw did not seem to
be tremendous, but the claws of the
brute had penetrated so deeply into ,he
chest and shoulder of the youth that he
survived scarcely quarter of I'm hour
after being carried into the village.
AS expected. the tiger attempted
to scrape up the body the night after
its burial. Next night, and for several
others, l watched the grave, but the
tiger did not keep tryst with me; but
when l was not there it never failed to
come. therefore assisted them to
construct snare to catch it on its first
return. A fence was made at all such
places as there was possibility of ap.
proach to the grave, leaving on the
clear road very conspicuous open
gate, across which thin cord was
loosely drawn, connected with q green
bamboo some thirty feet long, bent by
the strength Of several men into bow,
at whose extremity sharp spear was
80 arranged as to be shot xthwart the
entrance gate on tho release of the
bamboo by the tiger pressing with his
breast on the twig-iiks cord in his way.
Every night for six days tho trap was
reset without the tigers appearance.
The seventh 1t was left unset, as appar-
emily useless; next morning it was
found that the tiger had been within
the inclosure. and saw 1t faithfully
set In the evening. The following
morning was awakened by q great
chattering outside the Balai, and,
starting up to learn the cause of the
uproar, was informed that the trap
had shot in the night, and the spear
had been broken Oh, but the tiger had
not been found. was soon among the
eager crowd who had armed to beat
the woods. II was evident from the
blood on the spear-shaft that it was
sorely wounded, and could not be far
OF. We had little need, however. Of
gun or spear, for some thirty yards In
tho forest we found the warm body Of
the feline. Transdxed from side to
sidss II had cleared the high fence with
one gigantic bound, and had fallen
dsad where 1t lay.-HsSsy Fosbes.

see with half an eye that II went away
to school in town, it would be but few
months till my treasury would be
empty. Then, would be "cut off from
the base of supplies" and the only alter
native would be for me to "root for my
own living" and let the education 60, or
at all events it would come very slow.
So, boys, the upshot of the whole matter
was, decided to stay at home and take
things as they should come. never re.
gretted it and if live to be as old as
Methuselah Inever expect to.
The story OF the "Arkansaw travellers
is now told and l am about to bid you
all adieu. 1t is true in all the main
features, or at least, as they were related
to me by one OF the chief actors in it.
The facts have been embodied in my
own language and in SO doing, some oi
the characters may have been misrepre.
sented. The boys may have been rep.
resented as coming home in better style
than they really did, which I think is
more than likely, the case. But it ID
natural for an author to sympathize
with some. or all OF his characters, and
you, gentle reader, will kindly pardon
me for any mistake have made in thii
direction.
In laying down the pen, If this story
has not proved uninteresting to its many
readers and if it has Influenced any one
in giving up reading trashy literature, OF
has been the instrument in Gods handi
of making any boy think more of home
and loving father and mother, / shal
feel that l am abundantly repaid ant
that have not written in vain.

me say right here that they are few and

ninety-nine failures. Yet it seemed to
me then, that the successes were plenty,
and one. in particular, OF which I had
heard, impressed me the most. This
was of poor boy who, although not

with but one suit of clothes and q poor
one at that and $5.l23 in cash, il I mis-
take not. considered that he did well,
as he went to work, made school teach

the esteem of his father il, indeed, he
ever lost it, acquired o considerable
amount of property and, to cap the eli.
max, gained some local celebrity as an
author under the nom de plume Of "Pap's
Second Son" but which was Afterwards
changed to "Brutus." 1t was natural
for me to ask myself il / could not do

The chirieahu.. to DO Removed.

There Is no longer any reasonable doubt
but that the government has fully decided
to permanently remove from the territory
OF Arizona those members of the Chirica-
hua and Warm Spring bands Of Apaches
now on the San Carlos reservation. The
only important question not yet decided
is said to be, where shall they be located
The question which Is regarded as very
important one, has received earnest and
thorough consideration, and there now
seems to be probability that they will
be placed on the Fl. Marion military res
ervation at st. Augustine, Fla, where
Chihuahua and his band are now quar-
tered. The smallness Of this reservation
is, however, regarded as a serious fault,
and some other place less Objectionable
may yet be selected. 1t Is stated that the
detention at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., Of
Chief Chatto and his dozen companions,
who were returning to their reservation
from visit to Washington, and who,
as well as Geronimo and his band OF rene
gades, belong to the Chiracahuas, were
ordered as precaution against their an
ticipated bitter opposition to the scheme
OF removal. IL is also stated that the pres
ident has given his willing consent - the
change, and has placed the details in the
hands OF Secretary Lamar and Gen. Sheri-
dan, and that he warmly approves of the
vigorous policy or Gen. Miles and believes
that the peace of the southwest demands
that the hostiles should be pursued until
captured or exterminated, and that Ger
onimo, when captured should be punished
as other perpetrators OF high crimes are
punished.
