A Terror Of a Horse.

There Was an unusually large attend;
snce at this afternoons performance Of
Buffalo Bills Wild West Shcm. 4 large
proportion Of THOSE present had been at
ttacteaa to the Neuilly camp by the an.
nouncement in the Paris Herald that the
equestrian skill of Colonel Cody's COW.
boys was to be put IL the test of fiding
vicious French horse, of which they
know nothing whatever.
Certain Partisan gentlemen, who fan.
cied the exhibition of bucking horses
mas conducted with animals trained to
display wildness they had long before
had taken out Of them, laid heavy wagers
with ether members Of the Jockey Club,
who had confidence in the genuinenesA
of the bucking horse act, that they could
produce an animal which the cowboys
could not saddle, bride and ride in the
time usually devoted to that Po5tion of
the performance. The horse selected
was LIE Retif, q powerful black stallion,
seventeen hands high, belonging to NJ.
Taillard, that had acquired well-meii.
ted reputation for viciousness by killing
two men, who had attempted to break
him into the saddle and bride. He was
mot brought to the camp until few min.
utes before the commencement of the
performance, and, when the time came
for the bucking. horses, he was turned
into the arena along with the broncbos
and the other horses used in the act.
a TASTE OF THE LAsso.
He had not gone far before lasso,
thrown by Tony Esquival, settled around
his neck, and this novel experience wss
such a surprise that be offered no serious
resistance to being saddled and bridled.
Then he apparently realized the situa.
tion, and while the usual bucking busi.
ness was progressing be made things
particularly lively for those that were
holding him. After FIVE or six of the
bronchos had been ridden LIE Retif was
led forward, and before he knew what
was to be done with him Jim Kid. =
Wyoming cowboy, was on his back. For
a few minutes LIE Retif showed that in
the art Of bucking he had nothing to
learn from his American brethren.
FIGHTING In VAIN.
He alternately paved the air with his
fore and?hind feet; gave great leaps, and
did his bestetc unseat his rider, but all in
vain, and presently he gave up the strug.
gle and allowed Jim Kid to put him
through bis PAGES around and around the
arena, while the delighted audience rose
to their feet cheering and waving their
hats and handkerchief with wild enthu-
siasm.
Presently Jim Kid pulled up and
another cowboy got on behind him, and
"Le Retif," after brief struggle, was
forced to carry the double load around
the arena.
M. Taillard was the first to declare
that the performance was magnificent
spectacle Of equestrian skill, and the
disappointed hackers of lie Retif, al.
though they had as much as 50,000f. at
stake ION him, did not even attempt to
claim the forfeit. Even the other horses
ueemed to enjoy the scene.-Neao York

The W-onged and Indignant Brother.

The Rey. DR.. F. ". Gunsalus, Of
Chicago; wholis veil known in this city
and Baltimore, tells Of an amusing epi.
jsode.of; his frat pastorate, which, by the
way, was sn q town on Long Island. 81
mas full Of enthusiasm IN those days.
She says in telling the story, "and came
nearer to believing myself q great preach
or than Lever have since. This Long
Island town to which t was assigned vas
considered ungodly: but With the optinl-
ism ofyouth I believed that my eloqueuce
would soon reduce it to a state of inroc-
uous virtue. Well, the day for my
maiden sermon came around, and The
church Vas we'll filed. I was never more
eloquent than 1 wss that day, and before
4 got half through my sermon I felt quite
confident Of converting the whole town
in short order. Just then I saw taxdy
brother enter the church and weave
uncertainty up the middle aisle. It
required no second glance to see that,
full as the church was that morning, he
was still fuller. I.was-ins hopes that he
would quietly drop into. .one of the seats
rear the door, but my hopes were in
vain.
BY walking up both sides Of the aisle
he gradually got to.the front pews, right
under the pulpit. If then occurred to
me that I might prevent an unpleasant
scene by addressing a soothing and
pleasant remark to my bacchanalian
brother. So I said in sympathetic tones,
r perceive that the brotherii is sick. Per.
haps if he were to allow the sexton to
accompany him to the door he would
speedily recover in the open air. I felt
Ike congratulating myself on my di-
<plomacy, but the sick brother seemed to
misunderstood my good intentions.
Bracing himself uncertainty against q
pew, and gazing at me with look Of
panied and indignant surprise, be re.
marked in thick but audible tones: IT'S
q wonner to me that thish thic) bad
preachin' dosn't (hic) make 'em all SICK
This unholy repartee made everybody
laugh, and when 1 left pulpit I had
given up all thoughts of converting the

1t is difficult for persons in differing
circumstances to estimate the cost of
personal sacrifices. Only a woman,
whose glory and crown of glory i, her
line hair, can appreciate the heroism
OF the Sicilian women, who allowed
themselves to be shorn like Samson
for their country's good. History tells
us that in the olden time the beautiful
city Of Palermo suffered from a long
and painful siege from the Saracens.
Though greatly reduced by famine and
distress they still held out undaunted-
ly. At length to add to their dismay
1t was found that the materials for
making bow-strings, which consti-
tuted their weapons Of defense, were
exhausted. They were upon the point
of surrendering, finding themselves
entirely unarmed, when a patriotic
dame stepped forth and proposed to
the brave-hearted women that they
should cut off their beautiful hair and
twist 1t into bow-strings. The PROPOSE
tion was no sooner made than complied
with. The heroism of tho women not
only provided arms of defense, but so
animated the courage of the bcsieged
by their gallant sacrifice that they re-
newed their warfare with such vipor
that the as iailants were beaten down
and the city saved.
There is no sacrifice impossible to
woman S love! We all remember the
tender pathos with which Victor
Hugo told the story of Fantine, who
in the mighty strength of mother love
denied herself every thing to provide
for her child Cosette, from whom she
was separated, food and clothing, fire
In winter. light at evening. even the

At length word came that Cosette was
In sore need Of flannel shirt All

hand. and at nightfall wentHto q bar
ber's and had her magnificent hair cut
of, and sold it for ten francs und
smiled thinking: MY child is no
longer cold; l have dressed her in my
hair"
Later on the cruel custodian OF
Cosette wrote demanding forty francs,
declaring the child was Ill, and in need
of remedies. Undismayed the poor
mother dragged herSelf to the dentists
char and hid her exquisite teeth
drawn and sold them, saying thank
fully: "hy child will not die and an

also induced the deserted actress to set

She had been pressing this case very hard,
but all the time there was evidence that
she was not anything more than his mis-

$50, 900 to let the suit against him prevail.
Miss Chester and Letlcrer have now
skipped to San Francisco to- her mother.

lican senators, and il IL doubtful IL they
will do so. Their plans are NOT known.
No attempts have been made tn carry the
senators by force 20 the senate chamber.
when their intentions will he made
known. The prime object of the con-
spirators is to get some sort of pretense
for a joint session of the republican SEN
ators and jumpers. so that two republican
United States senators may be elected
and sent to- Washington. In the event
that the democratic senators should as
si>t i'm organizing the senate il il difficult
tn how the republicans would
have any more excuse for joint
session. The law quoted in the warrant
is absolutely good for nothing far
the present case il concerned. The latest
phase of the situation offers more room
for speculation on the future than any
thing that has yet occurred. Absolutely
nothing is known outside of the closo
party councils as tn the methods to be en-
ploysd by either side and il is doubtful IN
any cour~s, has yet been decided upon.
When the senate met this morning.
Lieutcnant-(sovcrn Richards stated that
while some of the absent members had

gcntlcmen's messengers, who stated that
the senators would try and some of

and said that the sergeant as
arms should be instructed Ia
carry ont the full intent OF tho warrant {.
that he should see these absent members
who had not yet been seen, and ask them
absolutely to come with him or let them
refuse absolutely tn do SO. He thought there
should be no boys play about the b,isi-
Hess.
Mcclure, the eserReant-at-arms. reported
that hc had seen Senator Thornton. who
had refused tn accompany him tn the sem
ate chamber. recess was then taken
until = o'clock. At the afternoon session
Rickarsls announced that report had
been received. After an hours recess
the lieutenant governor said the demo

Topeka, KAN, special says: swindie of
upon the farmers iu at least two counties
OF this state. and il is feared may l,c found
IN be even more far reaching. The amount
involved aggregates over $l5O,up. The
American Sugar company Of Kansas was
chartered about year ago and built n
mill tn manufacture sugar from sorghum
at Mead Center. When the company pro-
posed that the different townships should
vote bonds To it for the extension
Of its works, the farmers fell i'm
with the plan readily and bonds tn the
amount of $aO.Ooo were voted and the
scrip turned over tn the company. At
Ashland, Clark county. the same plan was
pursued and bonds to the amount of $is,-
0oO were voted, il is believed, i'm one or
employees i'm the Mead Center mill s'Is-
pected sharp practices. They investigated
and reported to the authorities here that
the manager had mixed pure sugar with
sorghum in quantities from IA small cane
prosiuct. The residents of the two town
ships, i'm Meade county, compelled the
manager to destroy the bonds. but the
bonds OF the other Townships had been me-
gotiated.
