be looking at them, with revolver in
his hand; and they all held their heads
bent down. But they never sighted
Alice, who was behind, and she was
looking at them all the time. One man
came and spoke quite friendly to me;
he had his eyes leaping out of his head,
burning like fire, and that was all l
could see of his face. When himself
had given them the revolver and showed
them how to fire it-for there was some-
thing uncommonlike about it-he came
back and sat himself down by the fire,
and we thought they were for going
away. Just as they got nigh the door
voice cried out, No. l, do your duty
1t was No. or No. 8, don't rightly
know which; and one stepped forward
and fired, and then they all went out.
We sat just as we was, without word
spoken till the smoke had scattered;
and looked at Dan and saw that he
looked pale like, and then he said:
Tim, pull off my boots;' and then when
he rolled up his trousers saw that his
foot was well nigh shot off and the blood
streaming on the floor, and the little
fellow ran up and tried to be putting
the blood back into his dads body with
his little hands; and when he saw that
that was no use, he got his arms around
his neck until it was hard to part them.
Then Tim said: 'Tll 60 for the priest.
l had never thought of the priesthood
forgive mel had only thought for
him; and then I told Tim to get the
priest and the doctor and not to spare
the mare; and put my arms around
him where he sat on his chair, and said
to him: Dan, you'll forgive them?'
for was afeard that he might die with
out forgiving them. He said: God

them that had murdered him. ThenI

ANECDOTE OF DICKENS.
How the Great Novelist Disappointed
xf,n

How the Great Novelist Disappointed
Firth, the Artist.
The artist Firth, in his autobiography
recently published, gives the following
incident of his acquaintance with the
great novelist. While Dickens was
giving public readings Firth was strong
ly impressed with the idea ''that the
author had wholly misconceiyed the
true character of one of his own crea-
tions," that of Sam Weller himself, in
reading whose jaunty utterances Dick
ems "lowered his voice to the tone of
one who was rather ashamed of what
he was saying, and afraid of being re-
proved for the freedom of his utter
ances." Firth says:
when I determined to tell the great
author that he had mistaken his own
work I knew I should be treading on
dangerous ground. But on the occasion
of sitting, when my victim was more
than ever good-tempered, / unbur-
dened my mind, giving reasons for my
objections. Dickens listened, smiled
family, and said not word. A few
days after this my friend Elmore asked
my opinion of the readings. telling me
he was going to hear them, and I
frankly warned him that he would be
disappointed with the character of Sam
Weller A few days more brought
call from Elmore, who roundly abused
me for giving him an utterly false ac-
count of the Weller episode.
"'Why,' he said, the sayings come
from Dickens like pistol shots; there
was no ''sneaking" way of talking as
you describe it.
"'Can it be possible, thought I,
that this man, who, as it is told of the
great Duke of Wellington, never took
anybody's opinion but his own, has
adopted from my suggestion q render
ing of the children of his brain diamet-
rically opposed to his own conception
of it?'
'.At the next sitting all was ex-
planned, for on my telling Dickens
what Elmore had said, with twinkle
in his eye which those who knew him
must SO well remember, he replied:
'.I altered it little-made it
smarter
"'You can't think how proud feel,
said /, and suBprised, too; for, from
my knowledge of you, and what have
heard from other people, you are about
the last man to take advice about any
thing, least of all about the way of
reading your own books.
"'On the contrary, was the reply.
whenever I am wrong 1 am obliged
to any one who will tell me of it; but
up to the present ! have never been
wrong!' '''-Loasdon Standard.

A Dog That Waters Horses.

Cyrus Sturtevant, livery stable keep
er of Ware, has the dearest dog in
town. He bought him of Almer Con-
lon for $10O, and he has since refused
$500 for him, He is cross between
an Irish setter and a Gordon setter,
and three years old, weighing sixty
FIVE pounds. He will ride in the car
riage and hold the reins in his two fore
paws, and sit on the seat like a man.
He will jump out the carriage going at
full speed and bring back a handker-
chief or whip to his master. He is a
great caretaker of horses, and knows
the name Of every horse owned by his
master. If his master wants to water
any single horse in the stable, all he
has to do is to. tell the dog to bring out
such a horse, calling the horse by name
and Immediately the dog goes to the
stall, loosens the horse, and brings him
to water, takes the animal back to the
stall again, and will do this with every
horse in the stable. He will also lead
out the horses to be harnessed. He is
quiet, gentle, affectionate dog, is Of
liver color, and is well proportioned
according to his weight Boston Globe.

gems of the East They scintillated
with light, and that is all can say Of
them. The stuff of her gown was en-
erald velvet, with a train of white vel

sight has thrown me into peculiar

to show us view. ''Ah," she said,

DINNER TABLE ART.
The Importance of Neatness and Precisio
OF Arrangement,

The Importance of Neatness and Precision
OF Arrangement.
Every thing on a dinner table ought
TO be the best of its kind procurable-
linen, plate, glass and all else. So
much time has to be spent at the table
that coarse and untidy ornament is
worse than none. One gets very tired
of sitting opposite shabby flower, a
bit of cheap velveteen, crooked array
of heterogeneous vases! Some modern
tables, centered with fine piece of old
marquetry or embroidery, are very
pleasing. Some people, in revolt
against old-fashioned precision, swathe
all the lamps and dishes with art-silks
some cast meandering muslin in more
or less awkward twists in and out the
dessert dishes-some scatter dry leaves
and red apples. These simple devices
may be pretty, as pot or fabric may
be picturesque, however cheap. But
it is not pretty because cheap. or dear
either, for the matter of that
1t is less the materials used than TIE
way in which we use them which con-
stitutes success, and it is not every
body who can so drape table as to
make it look "artistic' and not merely
untidy. 1t is mistake to drive an
idea to death, and think the tide sets
in the direction of untidiness just now.
Cheap lace drapes the lamp. cheap
silks every thing else. false art squirms
and attitudinizes in the electro epergnes
even the silver is more massive than
good, and coarse table-cloth often
underlies fine Worcester plates Ali
this is as it should not be. Better
simple dish of apples than preten-
tious epergne. Where art is admit
ted it should be perfect of its klnd'
down to the table-cloth, and a dehnlte
scheme should be carried out.
Give certain broidery, the toys and
ornamental dishes should obey the
lines Of its design. Every detail de-
mands raison d'etre. The blank oa-
hara of table-cloth offers fair field to
good design, like wall or door; az
an episcopal palace recently l saw
some very graceful ones. The table

MExlco'S RuRALES.
a Crack Corps of Ten Thousand Mounted
Kifemens

kiHemen.
There is no branch of the military
service of other countries which can
be likened to the Rurales of Mexico.
The sister Republic, out of peculiar
conditions, has developed corps with
out counterpart The Rurale is like
Cossack in that he is more at home
in the saddle than on foot, but there
the similarity ends. Mexico has her
cavalry contingent, but that branch OF
the service is as distinct from the Ru-
rales as it is from the infantry or the
artillery. ,s.s=
Frequent revolutions, a multitude
Of warning leaders, political con-
dition which gave rise to the word
ssMexicanized' these helped to
produce the material Of which this
corps of the army has grown. To be
plain, the fact is Mexico has modified
her guerrilas and banditti, and has
named the new branch Of the service
''the Rurales." .. ..,s
The process has been a slow one. To
make of the most 1awless elements of
the whole country the best soldiers has
been a great work, but Mexico has ac-
complished it. There are now nearly
ten thousand Rurales, and the country
enjoys an immunity from revolutionary
outbreaks and highway outrages such
as has never been known before Cortez
came.
The experiment was one of risk, but
the principle proved to be right, just as
it has hundreds of times on the 'front.'
ier of this country, when the worst
man of the town has been selected as
marshal to enforce the law and order.
What the experience of Texas has been
on small scale with a few companies
of rangers, that has been the result in
Mexico on very large plan with the
Rurales.
The Mexican private soldier is from
the lower class. He is very likely to
be wearing the uniform because some
magistrate gave him the choice of that
or term in prison. But the rank and
file of the Rurales is of different stuff.
The Rurale is volunteer, and he must
be good one, too, or he is not accept
ed. That is to say, he must be an in
telligent man, courageous. a marks
man and horseman. Ii he has with
these qualifications pretty tough rec
ord, the latter will not prevent his ac-
ceptance.
Young as the organization is, all
Mexico recognizes it as the most eff
cient branch of the army. The
Rurales are coming" That cry will
scatter mob, subdue riot and in
spire terror every time. They are
large men, for Mexicans. They are
generally bearded. They look their
past. There is spirit Of the despera-
do which fingers and reveals itself in
the midst of all the discipline.
For reasons best known to the Mexi-
can Government, the Rurales are not
on exhibition along the Rio Grande.
They are not to be seen at Vera Cruz,
or at any of the larger cities where
tourists go, and where there is a, law
abiding sentiment as pronounced as in
any American city. But go into the
mountain towns, or back from the rail-
roads, where population is sparse and
where the little crosses, which mark
the spot of homicide, are as thick as
cactus almost. There you will find
the Rurales in garrison or moving
about leisurely over the highways
