Nme. YaIslyre,s Lnlest Exploit.

Nine. Astie de Valsayre is undoubt-
cdly the heroine OF the hour, and her
latest deed of daring forms a topic of
conversation which momcntarily eclips-
cs in interest the doings of the Baudcn-
lists and the Boulangists. The esteem
ed lady duelist and debater is not only
II theoretical but also cOnsummately
practical champion OF the rights of
her seX-G fact which WAS proved be-
yond dispute or contradiction by the
feat which she has just accomplished
in the Rue de Vanves, not, be it reinem-
bered, with her foils, of which she is a
''past MISTRESS" but with her fists. 1t

Gently man with revolving eyes and
rolling gait, which betokened his re-
cent exit from a dram-shop wherein he
had been imbibing more petitS UerreS
or more pCtit-bicH than were good for
him, was amusing his maudlin mo-
ments by leering at and insulting all
the pretty women whom he met in the
course of his wild and wandering walk
abroad. Luckily for the interests OF
the insulted members Of her sex, lit
tie Nine. de Valsayre "came along"
as the Americans say, just at the right
moment, took in the situation at II
glance, and, as the unsteady person was
addressing an amorous observation TO
a quietly dressed young woman who
was in "a state of great alarm, the terri
bic champion OF all suffering females
gave him with lightning-like rapidity
not one, but two, lin the eye" Pre-
6n-tinpd M doubt nv pVraapOttc
tions, for his fall, the maudlin annoyer
of maids and matrons was sent sprawl
ing into the gutter. Instead, however,
OF coming UP smiling after the blows
of the lady champion, the drunkard re-
turned TO his feet, bleeding and discom-
fitted. Seeing Nine. de Valsayre still
maintaining an aggressive pugilistic
attitude before him, he managed TO beat
tolerably sober retreat TO IN adjacent
police station, amid the loud laughter
of the assembled bystanders. gamin,
who was one of the spectators of the
/ lively incident, took off his cap and led
a chorus of Gallo cheers, known as vi
watts, for the pugilistic protectress of
/ weaker vessels. Nine. dc Valsayre, in
due course, and according TO the usual
statutes, provided and enacted by wise
lawgivers for the proper preservation
OF the public peace, received a sum-
mons from the police for assault and
battery; but the complainant in the
action thus instituted against the lady
will be very impervious to public ridi-
cule indeed If he drags her into court.

IN the script OF Cadmus, felt his eyes

record.
And he saw there insert bed the
names Of hundred three score and
five, whose lives during all the fifty
years, while the guide-board had been
set up, were saved by it, some were old,
some mid-aged, some young. Those
journeying to the north would have
taken the way eastward, or, on their
road to the eastern town would have
wandered else TO the north.
The lives of part OF this multitude

enemy; of others from wild beasts on Il
| strange road; of others still, from storm
or pestilence.
Good, too, OF many another sort the
record showed; of sons restored TO
mourning families; of husbands TO their
wives; OF fathers to their needy chill
dren; and further, of renewed hope in
many n breast Of kindlcd sparks of
human sympathy for ali humanity. in
that one being had been found to feel
and (unllnOwing OF ali the deep signf-
canoe Of fecling) to show the divinity
of humanity.
And, before the new immortal aston

the record grew and grew, telling Of
the vast results Of each saved life, of

Armed Forces Prepared to Take
Possession of the Coveted Ter

Armed Forces Prepared TO rake
Possession of the Coveted Ter
rltory at All Hazards.
Armed bodies of men, says n Wichita.
dispatch OF recent date, have been organized
throughout southern Kansas western Ar
kansas, and northern Texas to take posses
sion of Oklahoma territory by force of arms
as soon as tho word shall be given by their
leaders.
Rumors TO that effect which have been
rife for a long time, but which have been
deemed the invention Of imaginative minds,
appear from information received here to-
day to have a solid foundation upon fact.
Ever since the interstate convention was
held here month ago much dssatisfac-
ton has now taken the form of a decided
movement 10 use force, If necessary, in
gaining possession of the coveted territory.
Every one in this section OF the country
thinks that the Springer bill will be de-
featel in congress-, and the settlers have de-
termned to take decided steps in their own
behalf.
Mai. G. w. Lille, widely known as
"Pawnee Bill" is now here really 10 lead
the threatened invasion. He left his wild
west show and came directly from Phla-
delphia for this purpose. Soon alter ms
arrival it was learned that a train OF fifty
wagons DOuuu Tor Oklahoma was cGIllcu
just outside tic city limits, and PawDce Bin
asserts that this body is the vanguard Of his
force. He says that determined men in
every section bordering on Oklahoma have
been enlisted and that the many conventions
recently held 10 urge the opening of the ter
ritOry have been instiGated by the boomers
with q view TO swelling their ranks.
The Baxter Springs meeting held this
week resulted in several hundred names be-
ing added to the list Gf the secret organiZa-
ton, among them being, it is said, that Elk
Gov. Crittendcn of Missouri, who acted as
chairman Of the convention. Harry Hill,
one of the leaders of the Capt Payne raid
ten years ago, is an active participant in the
present movement, and nc admits that it is
prepared 10 force the opening of Oklahoma,
and saws That when the forward order is
given the people will flood i'm in such num-
hers that the troops will be unable to stem
the tide
There arc large numbers OF the people
here now who baYe been gathering from dis
tant parts OF the country for some time and
this is looked upon as the central recruiting
station. Arkansas City and Caldwell will
furnish their full quota Of boomers.
Pawnee Bill denies any intent TO commit
violence, but adds: IF any one is hurt con-
gress will be responsible He says that he
wants 10 be arrested so that the rights Of
settlers to occupy the Oklahoma country
may be settled
it is positively stated that a forward
movement viii be made about Jan 10, and
the presence here of Pawnee Bill, who is
known as famous scout, viii so swell the
ranks of the boomers that by that date they
will be very powerful. He says that his
followers VIII reach the number of 1000.

Noted Loui,yiIle Society Leaders.

Speaking of beaux, the most noted beaux
that Louisville has ever boosted of, in my
opinion, were NJ. Lewis Clark and Thos. S.
Rudd. In their day they were the social
toasts of every occasion, and held sway owe:
society that none have since. Col. Clark at
twenty-five years of age was the most per-
feet specimen of manhood l ever saw.
Gifted with superb figure, handsome fore
head and Chesterfedian manners, he was
the personification of chivalry and courtl-
ness. He could dance perfectly, sing glori-
ously, educated, travelled and refined, no
was most certainly perfect type OF tho
world and an accomplished society devotee.
At the same age Tom Rudd also had many
qualities that cndeared him to his friends
and to society. He was generous TO fault,
handsome, dashing and a delightful converi
sationalist to women. Nothing was sue.
cess without him. He got up every german
club, organized every social, took out every
debutante aud was the SWEETEST of all the
swells He and Ballard Smith, Chris Hunt
ington, Henry Price and few others were
the noted beaux of those days, and they led
society as with golden string. One looks
around him and draws a comparison. You
can't help il. Who are the leaders nows--

How an African King Doctored
Himself When He Couldn't Sleep.

How an African King Doctored
Himself When He Couldn't Sleep.
King Oko Jumbo Of Bonny, in whose
august company Mrs Ker and myself, says
David Ker in Harper's Weekly, had the
honor of being shipwrcclsed upon the west
coast Of Africa in the summer OF 1885, was
said to be q bit OF humorist in his way
but we saw very little trace OF humor about
him in the course of that disastrous voyage
during the whole of which he was probably
the most wretched man on board. Indeed.
what with his chronic, internal malady, the
ceaseless rain that prevented him from com
ing on deck, and the prolonged seasickness
which, like death in Shir.ey's famous poem.
"lays its icy hands on kings" the poor king
might well be weary Of life at sea.
Nor were these his only troubles. Having
never been out of his own country till the
trip TO England from which he was return
ing, he had naturally very hay ideas Of
geography, and doubtless imagined his littlo
kingdom on the Benny river (Which he was
pining TO see) to be somewhere at the other
end of the world, many long months away
from him.
But one night (the very night before the
shipwreck, by an omiuous coincidence we
at length got him out upon the main-deck;
anu III was me SlEnJ 10 sec our SLalWdTb
captain supporting the cd mans tottering
steps and helping him on TO the cane lounge
set for him upon the after-hatch. The sick
man frightened up wonderfully beneath the
influence of good Capt. Porter's cEeery talk
about old-times in west Africa, aid did his
best TO eat the food that we brought him;
but no persuasion could induce him either TO
take medicine or TO see the ships doctor,
who unfortunately happened to be very
young man.
Medicine no good" sail the old warrior,
disdainfully; doctor no good-no sable

And the king exploded into such bolster
Gus laughter that all the features of his
queer old face seemed TO change places and
to dance a kind of in ane quadrille in and
out of each other, as ii a hairs -breadth
escape from death by an overdose of lauda-
mum were the finest Joke in the world. But
l could not help thinking that there are not
few kings in far more civilized regions
than Bonny who are just as useful and in
telligent when broad awake as poor Oko
Jumbo was during his five days nap.

A Duke as a Green-Grocer

come green-grocer, says London
Truth, for l hear that he is not above
selling his fruit, vegetables and flowers
at current market rates, either whole
sale or retail Visitors to Arundel
Castle gardens may purchase any thing
they fancy. and large hampers of pro-
duce and huge baskets of cut flowers
are dispatched several times n week to
Brighton and Portsmouth. Under the
circumstances it seems decidedly I'M
fair, while the duke is driving a roaring
trade, that his glass houses should be-
rated merely as pleasure-grounds,
whereas professed nurTerymen have to
pay very much higher rate. The
duke has quite enough advantage over
the ordinary trades man without being
favored in the matter of rates.

Naval circles are more than pleased
with the remarkable performances OF
che dynamite cruiser, Vesuvius, which
has just completed its third official
trial. The boat has qualified herself
as the fastest vessel ahoat, having
made a record OF twenty-five statute
miles an hour. But aside from her
speed the Vesuvius is destined to rev.
olutionize modern ships of war just as
the Monitor in her day made the mod
ern ironclad an impossibility. The
new dynamite gun with which the YES
sci is armed, has brought into use the
most terrible agent of destruction
known to modern warfare. 1t is safe
to say that number of such vessels
armed with such pieces of ordinance
will be match for the navies of the
old world.

Mary A. brown, who has taken up
the prodigious task of overturning
history, has begun the publication of
weekly paper to urge the claim OF Left
Erickson to the honors accorded
christopher Columbus. Miss Brown
believes she has abundant proof Of the
proposition that Erickson not only dis
covered America but settled a colony
here nearly five hundred years before
columbus began veXing The Spanish
court, and that it was on information
picked up in Iceland that Columbus
based his ideas of the Western world.
Miss Brown is small, determined
body, with remarkable mental activity,
and for many years has been elaborat-
ing this Left Erickson theory, with u
success that is not contemplate since
she has aroused the sympathy and Sc
cured the support of the Scandinavian
world. Her paper, which bears the
name OF her hero, is devoted to the
cause with largeness that is impress
i've and n clearness that is not wholly
speculative. In May she will go to
Iceland for further evidence, having
letters to distinguished scholars at
Reykjabik, DR.. Seigurdur Vigfusson
and DIR. Jon Hjaltalin, that will doubt
less secure her access TO the Antiquar-
ian Museum and the garnered litera-
ture and written traditions of Iceland.
She believes that she will have enough
evidence by 1892 to show the Ameri-
cans the folly Of doing any celebrating
in honor of Columbus.
