How a Handful of Whites Defeated
Attacking Savages.
Colonel John s. Moore, of New Orleans,
grand nephew of the celebrated Jim
Bowie. the inventor of the knife which
bears his name, and one of the Alamo
heroes. contributes the following to the
archives of the Alamo Monument Asso-
ciation:-
'In 1881 small party of adventurous
spirits, eleven in number, consisting of
Rein p. and James Bowie. their two ser
want boys, Messrs. Buchanan, Macaline,
Stern, Cephas Hamm and three other
persons, left San Antonio to visit the old
San Saba silver mines. On the morning
of the third day of their journey they
were visited by an Indian, who claimed to
be messenger from Chief Isaonia, and
whose medal he exhibited as his creden-
tials, bearing them warning from
Isaonia that about one hundred I'M
friendly savages were on their trail.
Rein Bowie, who spoke many Indian
dialects, conferred with the messenger in
his tongue, after which he advised his
party to select favorable spot and en-
trench themselves. A position was
chosen near hill. where the ground was
covered with few trees and some thick
underbrush, amidst which spring
gushed from the earth.
Working all night, the travellers
finally completed breastwork Of sods
around the thicket. They placed the
servants, horses and packmules in Gov
cred situation at the spring, and rested
awhile to wait events About six In the
morning. when the sun lit up the hill in
front OF them, 1t revealed its summit
covered with Indians. who hoisted a white
flag. After q consultation Req Bowie and
Buchanan passed outside the trench
works to parley with them. As they ap-
preached the hill the savages waved their
nag and called out, How dye dor How
dye dos and fired on them VI the same
time Several bullets passed through
him unscratched. Poor Buchanan WAS
not 30 fortunate for a bullet struck his
[ leg. breaking IL A. Buchanan fell.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Harper's Magazine for September.
If the spirit of Christmas is best sym
bolized by the act of giving, HdTpeT's
Magazine for September is an ideal
Christmas number 1t presents to its
readers splendid gifts of story, essay and
illustration. and 1t has selected these
treasures of its bounty with d rare APP
probation of what people in their holiday
humor most wish to receive. First in
order comes Edwin A. Abbey's portfolio
of eleven illustrations for the Merry
Wives of Windsor which reproduce with
the peculiar skill of this consummate
draughtsman, the Merry England" of
Falstaff's time. Andrew Lang, in his
Comments on the Comedy, assumes
another important role in the first OF the
promised series of Shakespearean re-
vivals." Six complete stories follow the
Merry Wives on the programme. Thomas
Hardy furnishes novelette, /; two repre-
sentative northern writers, Sarah Orne
| Jewett and Mary E. wilkins, and two
prominent authors of the Southern School,
| M. E. M. Davis and Ruth McEnery Stuart,
contribute short stories and the
artist-author, E, D. Millet' , tells

recorded by the evangelists, embell1shed
in later years by myth and legend, and

dieyal and modern art. Many of the
famous pictorial representations OF the
subject are reproduced in the accompany

haustive account of Modern Russian

revelation to the occidental mind which
is more or less unfamiliar with the arts
tic development of this empire OF the
east. In "Oratorio and Drama" the
Rev. II. R. Haweis, M. A., predicts
new departure, which is nothing less
than the reconciliation of church and

Bowie caught him by the arm, and lifting
him by the shoulder started to carry him
back to shelter Eight indians armed
with tomahawks pursued Bowie, who,
thus heavily burdened, could ill have de-
Tended himself, but his party fired from
their entertainments ON the advancing
foes, killing four of them, and the re-
manning four ran back to their shelter.
Firing now began in earnest between
the opposing forces. and, fortunately, the
Indians could not discover what number
of men were concealed in the bushes back
of the little Notifications. The small
force. reduced by two-for, in addition to
Buchanan being wounded, Masculine was
killed--fought Increasingly the entire
day. Those engaged in the fight said
that the contrast in the manner of the
Two Bowies was most striking. James
passed from one point to another, giving
orders, looking and firing. AT the same
time Rein maintained an unbroken
silence and raised his gun with GOODNESS
and elaboration, bringing down red
skin at each shot. During the night the
Indians passed the time mourning their
dead, and with the coming of day van
lshed as quietly as they had appeared.
The whites now made preparations for
returning to San Antonio.
Poor Masculine was buried and rocks
piled over his grave to secure it from
depredations of wolves. The great trouble
was what to do with Buchanan. Rein
Bowie, ever prolific in expedients, made a
strong decoction of oak bark by boiling
the bark in water. This he thickened
with cornmeal, and spreading it on cloth
and sprinkling it with gunpowder, he
formed poultice which he wrapped about
Buchanan's leg Around this he tightly
sewed covering of buckskin, and pack
ing tine patient on his horse, off the party
started. After several days. travel Bowie
examined Buchanan's leg, and finding
it in fair way TO recovery, renewed the
same dressing, and under this rough and
singular treatment the limb recovered
entirely. This party of men never made
another attempt to reach the San Saba
mines. n-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Oranges Wrapped by machinery.

A correspondent of the Utica Herald
describes machine that is being made
by the Remington Arms Company for
wrapping oranges for shipping. The
machines are simple and comparatively
inexpensive; but one will do the work of
three persons at least. They will wrap
nicely in papers $500 oranges per hour.
The machine is sbout three feet long by
three feet high and eighteen inches wide,
not including the cylinder for feeding or
the endless chain carrier, which is about
seven feet long and operates like straw
carrier in a threshing machine, and car
ries the fruit after the wrapping operation
to bins or boxes. The machine is operated
by crank. The fruit passes from
the cylinder down slide, one time, into
wire cup, which opens and drops the
orange on square paper cut by the ma
chine from roller; then passes through
an aperture which wraps the paper and
trims it; then the fruit passes on the car
rier The operation is both simple and
rapid.

MANY NOVELTIES IN RIBBONS.
The costliest d materials is used in the
manufacture of ribbons. and many new
styles have appeared this fall. Probably
ribbons have hever been more elegant
than now, the velvet brocade and en-
bossed effects Produced upon satin backs
being exceedingly handsome.
Ribbons for the fall and winter are
seen in all the latest shades, navy blue,
plum, brown, btonze and heliotrope being
the favorites. THESE ribbons are of the
best quality, oily the richest materials
being used toIweave them, and conse-
quently they Ore very expensive. Plain
satin backed telvet ribbons which are
always seen in Ill the standard colors are
being produced in all the latest shades.
These ribbons, Is well as the brocade, are
being used excessively for millinery and
on elegant dresses. They trim most
effectively, but are too costly to be used
very lavishly.

Tho MASCULINE Shawl.

About forty years ago it was the rage
for men to wear shawls. The shawl super
seeded the overcoat almost entirely. All
SORTS and grades of men walked the streets
enyeloped in shawls. Tall, lank men
looked like bean poles on which horse
blankets had been hung to dry, and short,
fat men resembled bales of merchandise
rolling along the sidewalk. The fashion
was not confined to the city, by any means.
1t invaded the country, and the boy going
to school and the hired man hauling saw
logs sDorted the universal shawl. But 1t

cessful career on the road. It deals with
the struggle of Texas which resulted in
the separation from Mexico. The roman
tic events of that famous war are used
with good effect in the dramatic dis
arming of the Americans on the plaza of
the beautiful city OF San Antonio the
glorious defence and final destruction of

But which the Anglo-maniacs
Adopt with most complacent air.

They copy, hoping thus to share
The homage which he never lacks.

Before the wedding.

Come, fragrant dawn and tender,
For the birds twitter low;
A Weakening sunbeam send her,
Who forth In bridal splendor
At the high noon shall go,
The ray-rim riseth slow,
The day when she shall render
Her life for veal and woe
Unto her lovers keeping;
All, dreamlessly she's sleeping,
While the birds twitter low.
The light comes stealing shyly
Through the dim house of rest;
An infant sunbeam slyly
Creeps smiling to her breast,
But, being blest too highly,
Dies in that dainty nest;
For miSts with vapor pearly
Blindfold the prying throng,
And quell the joyous hurry
OF the birds matin song,
Because the light is early
And the day is long.
