such myths and fables retain their hold on

be than the finding of toad or bat, dead

The Kenegade Apaches.


NoGALEs, June 11th.-A courier arrived
to-day from Captain Lawton's command in
the foothills of the Sierra Azul, Mexico.
Lawton is following the trail of about
twenty Apaches. 1t has been the general
opinion for some time that there is a camp

will be some bloody work. He will take
no prisoners, not even women or children
Lawton's command is comprised of one
troop of cavalry of twenty men, two in

KILLING A SALMoN.--One evening W. J.
Florence, the actor, sat in the club room
telling of his exploits on salmon river in
New Brunswick. How many salmon did
you catch?" visitor inquired. Florence
nearly fell from his chair at the ignorance
displayed in the question Fishermen,
SIR said he, with freezing hauteur, never
use the word catch as you apply it, They
kill salmon. They never catch them.'
The rebuked listener turned scarlet, but
made no response. A moment afterward
Lawrence Jerome, the uncle of Lady Ran
dolph Churchill, and an excellent story
teller, began to talk of his adventures on
salmon stream. He was describing him
self as standing on bank at daybreak

THE Mex OF TIME. "A corresp9rd-
discovery Of silver mines, relates this incl
dent: a prospector in New Mexico with
the honored name Of John Quincy Adams

it. AS the hayersack contained about a
dozen pounds of powder he dropped it and

4 BEAR FIGHrs FOR HIS CoMpAEIoN.-
Arthur and Fred Godfrey set out for the
woods near Milford few days ago with a
view of trapping the cunning bear. The
traps were set and the cunning trappeis re-
turned home. Monday they went to the
woods, hoping to fino that they had sue
ceeded in securing q victim. When near
the trap their attention was arrested by
black, furry form up in the top of a tree.
Mr.. Bruin, for Mr.. Bruin it was saw the
hunters and concluded to retreat, which he
did with a scrambling and scratching which
would have made anybody but native
flee in terror. The hunters rushed for the
bear, but the animal beat them in the race
and managed 10 effect his escape Then
there were lett two bears -one with his
paw in the trap aud another who fingered
near for The sake OF company. The COM
panion of the captive bear remained to
defend him with his life The hunters
soon saw that il would be impossible to
kill him, unless it was done by
shooting and so they fired, and
the bear fell He made hard fight,
however, for he did hot mean that his
trapped friend should become the prey of
the hunters. The bear in the trap also
gave battle, but he was so incumbered that
he could do little; he was dispatched with
an ak. Both of the bears were over two
years of age.-BGngor Me- Commercial.

TAXING THE DEAD.-ln recent lecture
at the East by General NJ. NJ. Trumbuli-
who evidently is not believer in the doc
trine of protection-he said :" In the reign
of King Charles H. an Act was passed re-
quiring that the dead should be buried in
shrouds made of wool. 1t was candidly
said, as areason for this law, that sheep
husbandry should be encouraged and weav-
ers assisted in their trade. The wool inter-
est demanded protection There was
nothing sneaking or incidental about this
law The claim of it was courageous, like
that of the highwayman who, disclaiming
to mask his face, looks you manfulIy in the
eve and demands your money. The trib-
ute was not even exacted in the name Of
revenue for the Government. but il was
impudently asserted that the wool inter-
est wanted the money and should haze it.
This was tax upon the dead, and it added
to the horrors OF dying but man could
evade it by continuing to live. With US
the case is different. We are not so fortu-
nate here in the reign Of Grover |. as our
ancestors were in the reign of Charles II.
The only possible way for us to escape the
wool tax Is to die, and even then We only
shift the tax from wool to wood, and pay
it on the bit of timber out of which our
cOffins are made

PRINTING Music AS IT Is PLAYED.-An
apparatus invented by Herbert Frang, of
Newburg, Scotland, for printing music as
played, is described as very ingenious, and
should be of considerable usefulness to the
ready composer of music. This device
when placed in electric communication
with pianoforte or other keyboard inst.7l-
ment, prints the music as it is being played.
The machine derives its motive force from
powerful clockwork. When in motion a
band of paper is drawn through the ma
chine, and during its passage is ruled with
the staff lines, aud passes under number
ofsmall marking wheels. which correspond
to the keys of the pianoforte and it is here
that the music is recorded The notation
in which the music is recorded is not the
ordinary one. When a note is depressed
on the keyboard, which is in connection
with the recording machine, the corre-
spending wheel will begin to mark, and
the length of the line made will be in pro-
portion to the length of the note. Thus,
if a line quarter of an inch in length
represents quaver, line an eighth of an
inch will represent q semi ouaver. This
system of notation is easily translated into
ordinary notation by anyone who under
stands The latter The connection with the
keyboard is obtained by pin fixed under
each note, which dips into a small cup of
murcury. This arrangement in no way
interferes with the touch of the keyboard.

JERSEYS BEATEN AGAIN.


fairly Against the Local Club.
NEWARK, July 1.-THE Jersey Oitys and
Newark crossed bats again in this city
to-day, before an audience of at least $500
people, The scorching rays of the sun
alone were sufficient to have made bad blood
among the players on either side. but the
manitestly unfair ruling of the umpire
who, already has been almost The cause OF
bloodshed on at least one occasion, served
to fire the Jersey City boys blood almest to
a boiling temperature. IL Is true that the
Newarks, up to the time when the umpire
made his first unfair decision, were at the
head OF the score but, had the fair and i'm
partial umpiring continued, as it should
rave, the Jerseys would not have
lost their head In their righteous
Indignation. 1t was in the seventh inning,
with q score of FL In favor of the New
arks, and the latter were at the bat, that
Leo smith attempted to steal from second
to third base. He was just little too con-
scious of his ability to make his third In
the sneak act, for the islders handled the
ball dexterously and got it to third just in
time to put Smith out fair and square. The
umpire was called upon to decide the ques-
ton, however, and ruled that Smith had
reached the base in safety. This made
Murphy, who was catching tor the Jerseys,
recklessly mad and his pitching thereafter
was worse than wild. The consequence
was that, while had the umpire acted i'm
partially, the Newarks would have scored
no more runs, they scored runs in that
inning, making the record to in their
favor, and thus it stood at the close OF the
game. The Jerseys errors were numerous
and tbad, and those made by Murphy,
Herman and Stovey were particularly
costly Following is the official record of
