A Midnight Battle with a Panther,

From the Nashville Union.
A few days since John McAtee, a
prominent mountaineer of West Vir-
ginia, started from neighbor's resi-
dence at nightfall for his home, sever
al miles off. The path he followed
led through thick woodlands. 1t had
grown intensely dark and he was
stumbling along the path when his
blood curdled at the horrible scream
of Il panther, apparently some distance
away. He hesitated to retrace his
steps, when the scream was heard a.
gain, this time much closer. McAtee
realized that the beast was on his
trail, and drawing large sheath knife,
the only weapon he carried, he boldly
pushed forward. He had traversed
perhaps two hundred yards when the
cracking of twigs in a low tree few
wards ahead attracted his attention
Looking up he saw two frightful balls
of fire glaring at him. The next mo-
ment the beast sprang upon him. A
bloody battle took place, in which the
panther was killed and the man badly
wounded. The beast measured eight
feet.

Common Sense and Common Sleep.

Excitement, worry and anxiety, which
have their seat in the brain, interfere
with the functions Of the stomach, and
in like manner anything that unduly
taxes the power of Oh irritatesth stom-
ach disorders the circulation and nu-
triton Of the brain. The sleeplessness
often complained Of by gouty personsis
due to the poisonous effect Of the NOR
bid material upon the nervous system.
Excessive smoking, too much alcohol,
tea and coffee, often resorted to by
over-worked persons, are frequent
causes of sleeplessness. In all these
cases the cause is removable, while the
effect may be counter acted by appro-
pirate treatment. Nothing is more
mischievous, however, than to contin-
ue the habits ard to have recourse to
drugs to combat the effects. y due
amount of exercise tends to induce
normal sleep, and such exercise need
not be of violent character. A walk
Of two or three miles daily is sufficient
and is, perhaps, as much as busy
man can find time for. A ride on
horseback, the Palmerston cure for
gout, is probably the best form of eXer-
else for those whose minds are con-
stantly at work. 1t has been we'll said
that man must come out of himself
when in the saddle he is forced to
attend to his horse and to notice the
oil jects he meets. Walking may be a
merely automatic process, and afford
little, if any, relief to the mind, and
carriage exercise may be practically
valueess if the mind is not diverted
from what had previously occupied it.

One of the most remarkable of Cans

missionary to the Micmsc Indiana
His heartiness and general good health
at his advanced age are not his chief
peculiarities. Though he never re'

cation he is said to be one Of the best
linguists in the world. He is the mas
ter of twelve languages-English.

he has proved his scholarship to no less

years ago, when the debate in Parlia-
ment became prosy and dull Mr.. Glad
stone employed himself in the transla-
ton into Latin Of that noble. hymn,
"Rock of Ages" Mr.. Rand observed
some inelegancies in the translation,
among them being the failure to rem

A Minutes Anger.

Not long ago, in city not far from
New York, two boys, neighbors, who
were good friends, were playing. In
the course Of the game dispute arose
between the boys, and both became
angry; one struck the other, and finally
one kicked the other, who fell uncon-
scious in the street, was taken home,
and now for four weeks has suffered
most cruelty. The doctors say that IL
he lives he will never be well, and will
always suffer and need the constant
care of physician. If the boys had
been the greatest enemies they would
not, could not, have desired . worse
fate for each other than this. But, in
stead of enemies, they were friends and
loving companions. Now every thing
is changed. One will never be able to
walk, or to take part in active games;
the other will never forget the suffer-
ings he has caused.
A minutes anger caused this. -Chris.
