The Buck Chased the Hunter.

John A. Beard, of Anthony Creek, Green
brier county, W. Va, while walking along
the edge Of a wood came across his dog en-
gagged in battle with a big buck. The deer
was getting the better of the dog when Beard
ran up and gave the deer a savage kick in
the side. The blow brought the vengeance
of the deer down upon Beard, who in a
second was knocked down and would have
been gored to death but for the faithful dog.
While the deer was defending itself from the
dog Beard got on a high fence and sat there,
while the buck tried for half an hour to
reach him. Mr.. Beard was about worn out
when a neighbor arrived with a gun and
shot the deer. 1t was one of the oldest and
largest bucks seen this season, having seven
prongs on its horns and weighing l6s pounds,
dressed.-New York World

The Ideal Woman Of the Future.

"The ideal woman of the future" says an
eminent physician, must be a woman Of
grand and strong physique. Bulwer says:
The match for beauty is man. not money
chest Equally true is it that the match for
the ideal man, the coming Twentieth century
man, is a woman, not bundle Of aches and
pains. And woman will not have gone far in
her search for health before she will have dis
covered that her dress is fetter self imposed,
which she herself must summon strength to
break. She must cast Off her slavery to the
fashion plate and go back to the freedom and
grace Of the old Greek ideals, and find In the
deep bosomed Junos and the stately, well
poised Venuses of antiquity, with their loose
girdles and flowing lines of drapery, her
models in dress. She must be strong and
many sided mentally. All art, all culture,
all those mighty principles Of physical and
psychical law-of which an ancient Greek
has said that the divinity Is mighty within
them and groweth not old'-must minister TO
her intellectual wants, for how shall she give
life who knows not the principles Of lifei
Last and best Of all. she must be grand in that
freedom and purity Of soul which shall make
her love a royal boon, guerdon worthy Of
Sll knightly and chivalrous homage to the
inan who shall call her-wife. n-Philadelph

The Fretful Ones.

The sons will go forth among men, and in
the hard school Of life's battle have their fus
siness toned down, even oblterated. But the
daughters will fuss and fidget for life and
grow worse in these, every year They will
worry over their studies, fret through girl
hoods years, and bring to their own homes
the perfected fretfulness of lifetime. Their
lovers are prODe to mistake this natural trait
Of the American girl for vivacity and pi
quancy aid mental sparkle. Men in love will
not know the difference between the garish
radiance that flashes from light house and
the steady luster that lies in the heart of a
pearl So they wed the brilliant, changeable
damSel and ignore her placid, contented
sister. Mental reStlessness, in a woman, can
find an outlet only in the worriment of her
self and those of her household. In a man,
this trait has a safety valve in business pur,

of the fussy kind can find man so consti.
tuted that his repose of character is an offset
to her business. The nine hundred and
ninety-uine are united for life to men almost
as fuSsy as themselves, and so the sum OF
human unrest and mental wear and tear is
increased. Life's reverseS, diSappointments,
thwarted ambitions, come with treble force

On the Meikong River.

An account Of journey down the Meikong
river by M. Ganthier, French traveller in
Indo- China, was read at the meeting of the
Paris Society of Commercial Geography.
NJ. Ganthier was in company with NJ. Pavie,
the French consul at Luang- Prabang, in the
Siamese Laos state of the same name, and
started down the Meikong to its mouth at the
same time that NJ. Pavie started to the north
east to reach Hanoi and the valley of the Red
river of Tonquin. At Luang Prabang the
Meikong is about 900 yards in width, and when
in food reaches width of 1000 yards. The
town is a market of considerable importanc
for the Laos states. NJ. Ganthier descend
the river at the rate of about six miles an hU.
in boat containing a few tons of mel
chandise. Virgin forests lined the banks,
and the villages were few and far between.
After passing several dangerous rapids, he
reached Paklaye, where the river was about
l,400 yards wide. Sieng-Cang was the first
populous town that he passed it consists of q
number of huts constructed on piles in the
river. Between this and NongKai there is
a succession of cataracts. Rubber forests
extend along both banks. Nong-Kai is the
chief place in central Laos and has number
of Chinese merchants Trade is carried on
through Bangkok, and NJ. Ganther calcu-
lates that a ton of merchandise costs in car
riage Is between the two places. The
Laotiens are not only naturally lazy, but
they fear to work lest they should be plum
dered by the Siamese authorities. Those
parts Of the Laos states which are drained by
the Meikong are exceedingly fertile and
might become the granary of the whole
legion. -London Times.

Justice Should BE for All.

The men of wealth, the men who control

They send missionaries to foreign lands.

in want. believe in no charity that is
founded on robbery. | have no admiration
for generous highwaymen or extravagant
pirates. At the foundation of charity should
be justice. Let these men whom others have

Eating with the Fingers.

The nations which still eat with the
fingers defend the practice on the ground Of
cleanliness. A Malay gentleman regards the
use of fork much as we should think of the
use of borrowed toothpick. He is troubled
by the reflection that it has been in other
mouths and that some lazy servant may
have neglected to wash it properly. The care
of his fingers are in his own charge, and he
knows that they are clean and that they have
never been in any ones else mouth.-Popular

BY WAY OF REJOINDER.

Oar amiable organic neighbor is not
pleased with the article regarding General
r. z. LEE, recently published in these
columns, and there is nothing surprising in
that. It was hardly to be hoped that THE
HERALD writer's efforts would suit the
downtown publication, and yet we have
ever and on almost all occasions striven to
please The cause of the disagreement
now is not especially new as relates to sub
stance but somewhat so as regards form; ;
for the reason that it is slightly astray re-
garding its own propositions and comes
after this paper for reasons which are ut
terly untenable so far as its side Of the
question is concerned.
A real or assumed correspondence is in
serted in and made part of the ponderous
editorial in which demolition Of THE
HERALD's position is attempted. In it
(the communication the writer of the
article in this paper is referred to as a
guerrilla. Further on, editorially, he is pre-
scented by implication as an egotist, and
still later as falsiter. This was to be
expected The article drawing forth such
comments was the writer's views on a sub
lecL luSL IbflFGu IuS 4IuCTlCdu
people by reason of the proximity of an i'm
portant and interesting event. If his views
were astray. the demolition sought might
have been accomplished without a resort
to such means as calling names or making
insinuations, but all who know the organ
will readily understand how impossible it
is for it to pursue any line of argument and
,.af,ain from itS favOrite Dastime no matter
whether it is or the right or the wrong
track; so that portion of its
article needs no further answer than to
suggest the possibility that, in using the
word guerrilla as term of reproach re-
garding any one it desired to hurt, it is at
the same time using boomerang which re-
turns to hurt SOME one else nearer and
6sarer to it than we ever dare hope to be.
We have no disposition to engage in a

it appear that we attempted to exhibit
such qualities. So far as relates to the
former of them, there is no attempt in the
matter, it is an actual condition, fully illus
trated; as to the latter, the reader will be
his own judge. Articles written in this
Office for publication few hours hence are
not labored over nor given great deal Of
study; they come somewhat trippingly
from the pen, and their character as to
ability or the lack of it, and all other mat
tiers intrinsically pertaining to them, are
questions of fact for that great, vast and
upright jury beyond the Office walls-the
public-to determine. Our opinions are
only our dicta-they are neither sermons
in stones nor chapters of living philosophy.
Nor are they hastily formed as a general
thing, nor at all delivered without some con-
sideration and regard for their consequence
and import So that, on the whole, we
have nothing to take back regarding what
was said of General LEE; in fact, there is
nothing to take back; he is all that was said
of him and more, much more, than we are
able to say:
AS to the insinuation that THE HERALD
article by implication sought to show that
GenerarGRANT was all that his great OPP
ponent was not, this is of a piece with the
rest. We expressly gave it as an unquali-
fed opinion that no man was the equal of
LEE in respect to his distinctive qualities,
and only classed his conqueror among the
others, admitting at the same time that
GRANT was a gallant, gifted and great man.
1t is useless to refer to the record further;
no one has greater regard for the manly
qualities, the sterling integrity and the
patriotic purpose of ULYSSES S. GRANT
than has the writer hereof, and more in
that strain would be words wasted.
