INV York, Sept. 22.-Two refugees
from a quarantine camp in Florida were
seized today by the health officers in this
city, put under arrest and taken to North

The Wood BnfTnln.

There still remain some of the wood
buffalo. This is an animal larger than
the American bison of the plains. They
arc larger, coarser-haired and stronger
horned. | mention this peculiarity of
difference in the horns because it is be-
lieicd that the shape and the broken
and the crooked nature of the horns of
the prairie buffalo has been caused by
the habit of digging into the gravel,
whert as in the more northern species
they had to contend with other con-
ditlons, where straight horns would be
of more use, for instance, they use them
there for clearing aside from their path
way the brush and luxuriant under
growth. These animals would weigh
at least $50 pounds more than the buffalo
of the Saskatchewan plains.
In the northern regions the vetches
and grasses are so high, and the snow
falls not being unduly heavy, they have
not had to paw and break the crusted
snow, as was the habit of the buffalo,
and that may account for their superior
size. In the country where these are
found horses can not be used in pursuit,
and they are stalked in the same manner
lltJ thC luOOSC dul lllS QUIET large
animals are. 1t is difficult to form an
accurate estimate of the number of
these animals that may yet lie left, but
perhaps investigation may show that 500
or 600 may yet remain in scattered
bands. Owing to the fact that the horsc
can not be used in pursuit., it is more
difficult for the Indians to hunt them,
and, indeed, to find them, than it was
in the old days of hunting upon the
plains.
So rank is the underground of this
rich country, aud so difficult is it for
the Indians to get at these animals,
that perhaps lust nov any attempt on
the part of the Government to afford
protection to them would be useless. If,
however, some regulation would prevent
white sportsmen from deliberately com.
ing into the country to hunt these ami
mails for mere pleasure it might result to
advantage, At PIE ent r.. would be
veXatious to the Indians, and Of no great
use, as the animal has become in its
habits so much like the moose that he
is liable in a great measure to protect
himself.

How the Brakes Work.

Said a railroad man one day: 'Ill
bet not one in hundred Of the peope c
who travel on railroad trains understand
how the pressure of air is used to apply
the brakes TO the train. When the air
brake was first invented the air was
turned into the cylinder under each car
when the car was to be stopped, and the
pressure was eXerted to force the brakes
up against the wheels. But at the pre-
sent day the brakes are held against the
wheels by springs, and the air is turned
into the cylinders to push the brakes
away from the wheels as the t ain is in
motion. When it is desired to stop the
train the air is let out and the springs
apply the brake aud stop the train.
The last method of using air pressure
has great advantages over the old way
on the score Of safety. When an acct
dent happens to train one of the first
effects it is apt to have is to rupture the
air pipes leading from the engine to the
cylinders under the cars, and that of
itself stops the train instantly. 1t is
very important for every one to under
stand this matter, because a child five
years old can stop a train IN thirty
seconds from any car in the train if he
simply understands how. ou will see,
If you look for il, that there is a sort OF
rope projecting from the toilet.room Of
every car. That connects with the air
pipes under the train. lfyou catch hold
of it and give little ierk il will stop the
train before II has gone 200 yards"

SEVILI Els BLUNDERS.
BY BERTHA BERToN.

A scrawh of "not available" across
the top of prim looking sheet of manu-
script, and it was refoldcd and ssed to
the left hand OF the table, with an air
that bespoke its final disposal; then the
young editor gave his attention to a more
interesting subject.
That literary men, especially editors,
should have Tine TO devote to sentiment
and love making, would hardly be sup
posed, when one takes into consideration
their arduous duties, and as Herman
Seville sat in his cosy sanctum with a
formidable pile of bulky packages before
him, while at his side, and gaping like a
hungry young robin, stood the capacious
and suggestive waste basket, no one
would have suspected that he was pen
ming tender little note, most carefully
worded, and literally trimming with
sentiment and fervor.
Incredible, it would have seemed, vet,
so it was; and he had sandwiched it in
as sort Of relish among less delectable
business.
Twice he read it over to see that he
had said exactly what he meant to say,
to see that he had used huweFy rhetoric.

as be carefully folded the note and laid
it by itseafOpon the table, he felt that
he had left nothing unsaid; ana well
satisfied with the effort, calmly confident
of its effect, he proceeded to the bust
ness OF the morning, which was the con-
slderatlon of the vast accumulation of
manuscripts before mentioned that
awaited his verdict OF approval or dis
approval.
There they lay in various shapes and
sizes, according to the fancy and con-
venlence OF their respective writers, and
through that long summer morning Her
man Seville read ana criticised aud
crossed out redundant words and
phrases, and into the hung~y basket
dropped rejected articles.
A few marked accepted were pushed
to his right hand but those were for
tunate ones, for the editor was extremely
fastidious, and inferior articles never
appeared in his columns, consequently
the aspirants to the heights of excellence
contained in that paper were kent in
continued and decidedly uncomforta-
bic state of suspense regarding their
articles.
One there was among the number that
particularly pleased the young editor. A

interspeGsed with plenty Of dialogue,
the language beautiful aud flowery, the
sentiment tender and pure, and that was

"Have a seat, Miss Mckay" the editor

"Have a seat, Miss Mckay" the editor
said as he drew forward the most com
Portable chair of which his sanctum
could boast; and the young lady settled
down to listen to the untangling of mis-
haps that Herman Seville had brought
upon himself, through his own careless
ness, and in spite of all efforts to retain
herself, Millie McKay's amusement at
his misfortuneJ found vent in low,
musical laugh, at which, notwithstand-
ing it was at his expense, the editor
took no olfense.
That explanation, however, did not
make it appear that Ethel Vinton was
anything more than good friend, nor
that the tender, little note which had so
awkwardly fallen into Millie McKays
hands was aught but sheer nonsetse.
May that editor be forgiven for his
untruthfulness, for he seemed to be
verifying Mehitable Smiths assertion
regarding the falsity of mankind.

also that she was desired to become a

success in the past she had about de-
cided to relinquish authorship.
When the young authoress left Her
man Sevile's office it was with lighter
heart than when she entered it. The
note, that she had felt as insulting, had
not been designed for her; indeed. it
had meant nothing at all, or so that
handsome editor had made her believe,
and she went back to the small, third
story room, that was kitchen, parlor,

either, and because a certain article was
not available, he was sure he was not to
blame; twas man ever known to be since
Adams day0 aud of one thing he was
certain he had secured fine writer for
the paper.
She was very agreeable girl, too /;
she would be a pleasant acquaintance,
and so she proved, in time, more than
acquaintance or even friend, for Millie
Mckay finally the became the editors
wife and was not obliged to write
sketches for living.
And thus the mishaps that were caused
by Mehitable Smiths unavailable poem,
resulted, also, in bringing to Herman
Seville true love and happiness. - Yankee

An Indian and a Panther.

A short time since a bloody fight oc

twenty miles south of Mercer, Texas. A
party of Indians from a neighboring vii
lage were out hunting wild turkeys
One of the party who had strayed away
from his companions met a large panther
and shot at it, wounding the beast and
greatly infuriating it. The panther was
in close quarters and rushed upon the
Indian before he could reload, and s
bloody fight ensued. The Indian drew
his knife and when the panther spranp
upon him cut the beasts throat from eai
to ear, but at the same time the animal
fastened its fangs in the throat of the
Indian, and death struggle com,
