trail Of the horse thieves was at an end. The
vultures arose and hung over us as we rode
up to the place Of the feast By the side of
the brown skinned man lay pile Of bones,
wet yet, but heshless. The bones of the
horse thief were as clean as if he had been
boiled.

dropped from his horse through fatigue and
by his side lay the clean bones Of a man who

Try Not to Cough.

A physician, who Is connected with an in

By the promise Of rewards and punishments
l Isueceeded in inducing them simply to hold
their breath when tempted to cough, and in
a little while was myself surprised to see
how some Of the children entirely recovered
from their disease.
Constant coughing is precisely like
scratching a wound on the outside Of the

cough, draw a long breath and hold it until
it warns and soothes every air cell, and some
benefit will soon be received from tho pro-

The Newspaper school.

Emile lola has written the preface to 'Mo-

votes himself entirely to the consideration Of
journalism, and apropos of the oft mooted
question as to whether newspaper training
is of advantage or disadvantage to the man
who aspires to become a great writer. the
Prince Of Filthn gives tho following decided
views Of interest and Importance to young
writers:
Every time young man appeals to me

Immediately into the thick Of tho literary bat

so successfully decides the ability Of a writer
as thedaily conflict of tho press Here he

others about them Here he win find the stim-
ulus of competition. Here he viii learn to
buckle on his armor and stand his ground. And
in defiance Of the daily assertion that newspa-
per work is death to literary inspiration,
affirm that, if the inspiration exist, it viii in

after the training Of newspaper work. which
is tho apprenticeship Of literature, which
teaches a man, by sheer force of daily habit,

seize his idea, and the inestimably valuable
lesson Of conveying that idea in the fewest
possible words
"Ihe habit Of scratching OFF articles on the
corner OF a table in hot haste neither spoils
tho style nor perverts the idea. On the con
trary, style is born like the color Of the
eyes, and newspaper work, rapid, fanciful,
exacting, makes the mind supple and the pen
ready. If one falls in this battlefield, l. is
because he has not strength to stand. The

! Mrs. William II. Vanderbilt has no for
tune IN her own name, contrary to tho gem
eral belief. She has an annuity Of $780, 600
When William H. Vanderbilt died he left
a fortune, in round numbers, Of s20O, 600, 900.
IL Is remarkable how It has increased In the
three years that have elapsed since his death.
Old Commodore Vanderbilt left his grandson
Cornelius s5,000,00O, and his other three
grandsons $4,000, 900 each. William X. oper-
ated extensively in the stock market five
years ago, and, it was generally understood
at the time, lost his entire fortune, which he
had increased TO s., 100000 He was reported
to have received an allowance of S70,O 600 a
year from his father for his personal expenses
thereafter and until the death of the latter.
About the time Of CT shortly before the ter
mination Of William K IS disastrous expe-
rience in Wall street, Cornelius began specu-
lating, and was reported to have lost about
100000 Of his fortune, which had, however,
grown to sS000,000. The fortunes Of Fred
erick and George Vanderbilt had also appre-
ciated in value, though not TO the same extent
as the Others. Frederick had been very sue
cessful in stock speculations and George had
made highly remunerative investments under
the direction of his father Altogether, there
was in the family, outside Of William H.
Vanderbilt's personal fortune, $4,000, 1000
Deducting that amount, the wealth Of Will
lam H. Vanderbilt has increased S62, 600 900

 LONDON, Dec. 20. O.--The precau tionary action of the Admiralty in arranging for the removal of the naval and hospi- tai stores for the Mediterranean and channel fleets from Lisbon at any mo ment that the transfer may be deemed necessary or expedient has aroused a surprising, intense and widespread war like sentiment here.
 In addition to this measure the Ad- miralty has also issued orders to the Mediterranean squadron to remain un- til further notice within reach, that is to say where the vessel can be commu- nicated with by telegraph in case of any overt act of hostility or contumacy on the part of Portugal.
 That the Government is thoroughly in earnest in it's resolve to call Portu- gal to terms for her alleged treachery and rapacity in Southeast Africa. there is now no doubt whatever, and unless the Government at Lisbon shall recede from it's untenable position without un- necessary delay, they will find the threatened Republican uprising within her borders to be one of the very least of her troubles.
