A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
How One of tho Boys Secured an Ampi

was once placed in n predicamen
at Helena, Ark, in 1868. Ono darl
night was on picket about two mile,
from camp. II had been raining all
day, and was somewhat moist under
foot, as any one who was there will
very we'll remember. There were alli-
gators about, and their splashing in the
river and bayous was not pleasant to
hear, and the idea of being crunched
up and swallowed at one gulp was not
agreeable to contemplate. Once In
awhile one would be found out on land,
but not often. However, in wet times,
when the bottoms were covered with
patches of water from one to six feet
deep, their splashing could be heard
sometimes for miles as they would go
rowing about in search OF food. At
such times a soldier out on picket in n
swnmpy section would have a chance
to feel his hair stand on end four or
five times in one night, and when morn
ing came he would feel six or eight
years older and would hunt up look
ing-glass to see II his hair was white.
On this particular night heard a
dozen in as many different directions,
and one or two between me and camp.
Finally heard one big fellow approach
ing me, and from the way in which he
grunted and smacked his teeth, he evil

his sp.ash, splash in the pine leaves
and slush, nearer and nearer,
till he was but few rods distant. My
hair fairly lifted my cap, but held my
breath and kept silent, hoping that pos
sibly not having scented me, he might
yet turn aside; but no, slowly and with
much grunting he came directly to-
ward me till he was scarcely ten feet
distant. / knew it was no longer OF
use to keep still. My only recourse
seemed to lay in firing at him and TAX

away, and small enough to climb. Do

raised my gun silently, and in obedi-
ence to military orders, shouted "halt"
and fired. Immediately, and before l
could retreat, there arose one of the
most unearthly squeals ever listened
to; just one, no more. There was a
''wah, wah," gasp, little rustic Of
leaves, and whatever it was, was dead.

diately, and l struck match to find /

PROF. RoRK.-On last Tuesday
evening at the chapel of the South
Methodist church, Prof. M. V.
Rork, of Salem, lectured On the
"Law of Life" A large audience
was present and the lecturer, al.
though a little more plain-spoken
in the use of his language than
most temperance takers, seemed
to create favorable impression
among those present. His ideas,
that nothing can be done with the
great evil of intemperance until
people are allowed to and will vote
for men who are fearless in making
laws to govern such evils, are very
excellent, but from the present
condition of things and politics
twill be quite period of time
before such instances will ever
take place. As long as money. will
secure votes just SO long will in
temperance prevail. Mr.. Rork has
strong voice and can when neces-
sary place good deal of empha-
sis on the particular points he
wishes to bring out. Some, very
likely, pronounced him a fanatic
or crank, but let them lay all
prejudices aside and answer this
question: Did he not state the
true facts about this temperance
question of the present times
