Ephraim was their leader, and before he
greeted his uncle, he ranged his men in two
ranks like a double wall between Joshua
and the enemy's archers. Not till then did
he give utterance to the joy OF meeting; and
another glad greeting followed his, for old
Nun was safely led to the wall of rock
under cover of those large Egyptian shields
which the sea had cast on shore; and then,
under shelter of the cliff, strong hands filed
off the letters which bound Joshua and his
comrade, while Ephraim, aided by q few
others, bound the driver captive. Theunfortu-
nate officer had given up all resistance and
let them do what they would, passively re-
signed. Before they tied his hands behind
his back, he only begged to be allowed to
wipe his eyes, for the tears were coursing
each other down the stern mans cheeks and
on to his grey beard; tears of Vexation at
finding himself outwitted and overpowered.
and unable to fulfill his duty.
The old Hebrew clasped his redeemed and
only son to his heart with passionate affec-
tion. Then, releasing him from his en-
brace, he stepped back a few PAGES, and
would never have tired of feasting his eyes
on Joshua, and of hearing that, faithful to
his God, he would henceforth devote him.
self to the service OF his people.
But it was not for long that they might
happy meeting; the battle was still to be
won, and Nun, as a matter Of course, trans
ferred his command to Joshua.
With thankful gladness. and vet not with
out pang of regret, Joshua heard Of the end
which had oVertaken the fine army among
whose captains he had long been proud to
reckon himself; and he rejoieed to learn
that another company OF armed shepherds
had gone under the leadership of Hur.
Mirlam's husband, to surprise the turquoise
mines at Dophka, at about an hours march
further to the south. If they were victorious
they were to rejoIn the young men under
Ephraim before sundown.
These ardent spirits were burning to fall
upon the Egyptians once more; Joshua, who
was prudent, and who had reconnoitered the
foe, had, indeed, no doubt that they would
succumb to the fierce herdsmen who far out
numbered them. But he was anxious to
avoid bloodshed in this fight which was
being waged for his sake, so be desired Eph-
rain to cut him a plumY leaf from the
nearest palmtree, borrowed a shield. and
went forward alone to speak with the enemy,
waving his symbol OF peace The chief body
OF the Egyptians were guarding the en-
trance to the mines, and, recognizing the
token which invited parley, they desired
their Captain to meet Joshua. This officer
was nothing 10th to grant the Hebrew an in

acquainted with the contents of a letter
which had just been delived to him, and
which must contain evil tidings, for that

The slowest walking horses in the world
are to be found in Germany. They are
trained to a slow gait on the theory that the
slower they move the better they will keep
their flesh. A great many American livery
men seem to have caught on to this idea in
the last two or three years.

A Joke on rHE BRAvEs.

At the San Carlos agency in Arizona the
war-like Apaches are being civilized at the
point Of the bayonet. In that dry country
irrigation is necessary, and to bring the
water from the mountain streams they are
digging bitches, and the Apaches are doing
the work, packing" the dirt away in huge
baskets strapped on their backs. One morn
ing they told the soldiers that the squaWs
ought to pack the baskets, so much similar,
you know, to the way they carry the
papooses, and they thought that was surely
the squaws work. The soldiers agreed. So
the next morning the squaWs brought the
baskets. The soldiers ordered them to set
them down, then ordered the Indian men to
fill them and carry them and ordered the
squaws to return to camp. They left and
all squatted on hill overlooking the scene
and laughed at their husbands, fathers and
brothers. At the San Carlos school they
have 40 Indian boys to learn English. They
have had q teacher there who seemed to paw
more attention to singing than to anything
else. He really was an excellent singer.
During General Armstrong; visit there he
asked one of the boys to do some work on
the blackboard. The boy shufled up,
looked at the blackboard awhile. turned
around and said: "Me no savey work on
blackboard, but me heap savey Hold the
Fort" The General called for the song
and they did sing it, and sang it with ven
geance. RED BIRD.

THE INTERSTATE LAW

Judge Cooleys speech at the banquet of the Merchants association in Boston will at tract great deal of attention, for it dealt with g subject which is just now very much discussed. Judge Cooley believes in the In- terstate Commerce law. He said: ''I desire to call special attention to this fact, that the period during which the law operated most to the benefit of the railroads was precisely that during which it's provisions were best observed I think this to be an undeniable fact, and if it is fact it is deserving of more attention than up to this time it has received from the managers of railroads. It was also the period during which the law was com plained of the least" He then went on to point out that the evils most complained of by railroad managers are evils which have resulted from attempts to violate or evade the law and which might have been avoided by Loyalty observing it's provisions or may be remedied by wise amendments. Take, for example, the matter of rate cutting, from which the roads have lately suffered enor- mously. They have had the remedy in their own hands. One company resorts to secret cutting of kind that is in violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law, and all com peting lines adopt the same policy with ruin. ous consequences. If instead of thus violat ing the law themselves competing lines would arralgn the first offender before the Inter state Commerce commission, and thas ss- cure the enforcement of the law, they would protect instead of injure their own inter ests.
 The law is here to stay. It will doubtless be amended some this winter, and probably wisely amended. Then if it is vigorously en forced it will work we'll for both the railroads and the public

return to the contract system. Their report says: Whatever is best for the convict is best for the State. Labor is indispensable to the convict, and to be reformatory it must be productive, creating something which must necessarily go into the worlds market on the same footing as any other product of labor. The problem is then simply narrowed down to the bare question, "Who shall util- ize this labori" Shall the State capitalize and establish large manufacturing enter prise, go into business on its own account and be subject to the same vicissitudes of traffic as any other corporation, or shall the State hire out this labor to third party and let the risk of success or failure rest elsewhere. We are convinced that in the institutions where the contract system has not been dis turbed by adverse and unfriendly legislation the best results have been attained. There fore we recommend the reinstating of the contract system, believing this to be the best system when surrounded by the most careful and guarded conditions.

The Cafes Of Paris n Hundred Years
From the Saturday ReyieW,1

From the Saturday Review.l
 "Cafes," billiard tables and tennis courts
 abounded in the Faubourg St. Germain.
 Billiard rooms were haunted by French and
 foreigners alike, tennis being the game of
 kings and princes-what game was played
 with one poor king in one such leu de
 Paume! it was naturally cultivated by cour-
 tiers of all sorts. As to the cafes proper,
 cup of coffee after dinner had then become
 nearly universal, and smokers drank it with
 their tobacco. The coffee houses in some
 streets were to be counted by the dozen, for those were the days when they were ire quented by princes and other great persona ges,' and by the learned and accomplished
 coteries, whose only previous resource had
 been the caberets, which they deserted en masse so soon as cafes came in. One might go into one of them without ordering any thing, and 'ladies of the first quality" were in the habit of stopping their carriages at the more famous to have dish of coffee brought out to them on silver saucer. Such rapid progress had the berry made since Pascal, the Armenian, and Procope, the ice man from Florence, first vulgarized Moka about 1862, and Mime. de Sevig gne said she invented the "fantssy" of cafe-au-lait in 1880. The same or later Procope was, about the tins we write of, bringing out the still extant bavaroise, first made with tea, not chocolate, for the Bavarian princes who frequented his renowned house, which closed at length only last year, having played out it's old fashioned part when Gambetta failed it. True, it has been swept with new broom and reopened. The Widow du Lau- rent kept the Cafe de Beaux Esprits in the Rue Dauphine, where met society which was supposed to be ever starting some odd | novel or witty subject for discussion. There one Grimaret, a professor of languages, l wrote Campaigns of the King of Sweden" l and ''Lettres Sereuses ct Galantes," used to take the chair, and years afterward saurin, | La Motte, Danchet, Boindin and Rousseau resorted there, and thence issued the famous oouplets which banished Jean Jacques. A similar coffee house was Poineelet's, nearer | the Pont Neuf, and in the Rue Rouille was | the Cafe Savant, where the literary big wigs consorted, just as Boileau, Racine, La Fon- l taine, Chapelle and Furetiere were wont be- | fore the days of coffee houses, at the famous .traiteur's on the place St. Jean. In others l were to be found the predecessors of the | journalists, the newsmen (nouvedistes), who | discussed rumors and politics between the throes of bringing forth their gazsttes. l Then there was the general mob of idlers | who killed much of their time strolling from
 cafe to cafe, hoping to pick up some news.

The legislature came together yesterday and carried out the programme made by the Republican caucus the night before. Speaker Perry made somewhat lengthy speech in which he did his best to forewarn and fore. arm the members against any "lobby" that might lie in wait for them.

Dressmakers, Skill.

Skillful dressmakers can do great deal to make an over-stout woman look presentable, but tailors can do little or nothing to hide the clumsy proportions of a fat man. Not withstanding that all the fashion-plate fig ures gre of graceful, not to say thin, women as being the means of displaying fashiona- ble attire, great deal of attention is paid to making graceful draperies for stout wo- men. The partial eclipse of the-bsstle is a sad blow to these plump people, since Dig hustle relieved their wideness of waist and and afforded more support for ample skirts. Nevertheless all women's clothes seem much better adapted to concealing fat than mems, as any one will acknowledge who takes care ful notice of the apparent size of an actress in skirts and sees her soon after in masculine garb. What appeared in petticoats to be only medium plumpness, in trousers and tail-coat is increased in girth to absolute fatness. The same phenomenon may be ob- served among the bsthers at watering places.
