tiful young girl, about fourteen, was
sleeping in a hammock swung from two
stately oaks in a grove. Ina meadow
to the rear, a fat, meek-eyed cow re-
clined in the shade. Across the road
from the house, the girl, and cow, was
a meadow, a branch running through
1t, and coming up the branch was boy
with q gun. When within one hundred
yards of tic girl, and about one hundred
and fifty yards from the cow, bird few
up, sailed in the air toward the COW, and
the bow fired ut the bird, which few on
unhurt, but the COW received pretty
strong dose of shot, She Immediately
arose in fright, dashed through the
grove, caught the girl and hammock on her
horns, and rushed with her shrieking
victim about the lot. The terrified girl
became silent, and the crowd of relatives
and friends in pursuit thought that she
was dead. The wild fury of the COW as
she rushed around soon tore the netting
loose, and the girl dropped unconscious
ly to the ground unhurt. She was picked
up and taken to the house, and on EXAM
ination only a few minor bruises
were found. The boy, thinking he
was the innocent cause of the killing of
the young girl, disappeared. All trace OF
him vanished. 1t was thought that he
had persisted by his own hand, but about
six years after the war a travel stained
stranger was in the town inquiring for
persons most of whom had been swept
away by the war. After long search the
stranger learned where one of the parties
he was in search Of lived, a few miles out
of town. He went there, made himself
known, and turned out to be the boy OF
the gun. The people ne found were father
and mother, who had mourned him dead
for eight years The boy had been in
South America, got rich, and, yearning
for the love of the old folks, returned to
the desolated home Of his childhood md
made his loved ones comfortable. For the
first time then, hearing that the girl was
uninjured, he called on her, found her
pretty, good and a first-ciass home wom-
an, he put in with a will. got her heart as
his own, and the old folks consent, and
has been for the last twelve or fourteen
years one Of the leading men Of his sec.

An Establishment Manned by English Serv-
ants and Run on the English Plan.
Washington Special.
Passing by Senator Stanford's house. on the
day when the Seventh Regiment paraded, saw
the Senator standing in the bow window of the
first floor of the large gray stone house upon the
lives. The Senator was carelessly dressed in
black. He had on short sack coat and stood
with his hands in his pockets. In every other
window and door Of the house there was a very
correct English servant in full evening dress
This imposing array of servants made his house
look as if it were fitted up for a reception. The
Senator appeared quite common and ordinary
standing in the foreground of SO much elaborate
responsibility and decorum. The English serv-
ants never smiled or moved as the procession
passed The Senator has staff of eleven of
these men. He uses the greater number of them
as guards between him and the relent-
less beggarS who are constantly ringing
his door bell seeking the aid of this many
times millionaire. Stanford's establishment is
kept up in the English style He himself is very
plain and when about the Capitol is one of the
most approachable men there. Once fortified in
his house behind his array of English servants,
he is one OF the most unaDproachable. Ii the
Senator hopes to be the Pacific coast candidate
for the presidency in 1888 he will find that the
campaign orators will make much of his staff of
English servants. Mr.. Stanford walks but very
little. He has very tall, powerful figure and
should need good deal of exercise to keep from
getting too stont. He generally drives to the
Capitol in closed landaulet drawn by pair of
very large. powerful black horses, perfectly
matched in color form and action The livery
of his men on the box is also black. The car
riage is dark in color. The entire outfit is in
keeping with the mourning which the family is
still wearing for young Stanford. The Senator
is now devoting good deal of attention to his
stables. There is to be a sale of horses brought
on from his breeding farm within a few weeks
All of the horses to be put on the market in this
sale are trotters He expects that they will
bring an average of 81, 900 each. If this sale is
successful he will bring on an additional and pos
sibly better lot for the second sale.

BOOTH AND SALVINI.
The American Actor in Distressed Condi-

NEW YORK, April 29.-The second perform
principal roles at the Academy of Music last
night, was anything but great presentation,
owing to the unfortunate condition of the Amer
lean actor. From the very first, Booth appeared
to be in very poor form. His reading of the
lines was uneven, and there were instances
where he lost the thread of his lines. AS the
play continued his walk was ungraceful and
positively unsteady 1t was not, however, I'M
til the third act, in the great scene with
Othello. that the growing apprehension of the
audience was completely confirmed. After
Othello (Salvini) had thrown Iago to the ground
in his burst of wrath, he assisted Booth to his
feet again without disturbing, apparently, the
natural course of action. AS Booth regained his
feet, Salvini let go his hold. and the American
actor lost his balance, staggered backward and
squatted down on the foot light rail- A few of
the audience nearest the stage jumped forward,
as it seemed the actor was about to
fall into the orchestra He recovered
his self-possesson wonderfully, and continued
throughout the act His conduct called forth
some Kissing, but the audience, panied as it no
doubt was, seemed to extend their sympathy by
encoring him as usual. His entrances and exits

Roderigo is killed was played with great force,

He seemed to have recovered again. but in the

his back. his condition was too painfully appar-
