Lo Threatens to Shoot.

Kicking Horse, the crazy Indian medicine
man, claims to have kicked a hole through
the clouds or in some similarly absurd way
broke into 1.-THE happy hunting grounds
and witnessed wonders. He claims to have
there received assurances that the Indian
would get large herds of buffalo and heap
good wampum, and that the bad white
mans powder would not work after another
moon or so. He says white mans powder
will get 80 weak-kneed it won't fire bullet

it is just as well to advise
Signor K. Horse that it were the
part, and no small part, of discretion not to
buck against the white mans bullets. Else
he might have to be hauled home in hay

little hoodoo on our gunpowder - that
wouldn't discourage the hopeful white man.

He Had to express His JOY.

A man from the sonth was telling Of an old
negro on Louisiana plantation, and the story
ran this way, says the New York Tribune:
Old Pete had been one of the best slaves ever
owned IN the state He b Id lived through Two
generations of t 1e planters family and In the
third was so old that no one ventured to saw
how old he was, although other slaves when
asked about it would say, He mus be oveh

Ginning years received the care which faithful
slaves in those days got from generous aad
klnd-hearted masters. He had his own cabi
and special rations we're allowed to him Among
other favors which he enjoyed was that of
taking three drinks of whisky every day. Thee
times each day the old man tottered over to
the rations store to get his drinks. Rain or

drinks.

Ols OF the most rabidly high-tarif and at
the same time contradictory papers in tais
country is called the american Economist
/ By way OF sustaining its name. possibly, it
intenpera:ely dsaounces cheapness- In the
last number it prints an article healed
The Curse of Cheapness." in The course Of
which it elegantly proceeds to allege that
''the vuttlre loves his carrion not more than
the fres-traier longs for cheapness."
Mckinley prices, according to the Ecollo-
mist, are all the better for being higher
than those that preceded them This is
very strange talk, especially strange since
Drotectionists have always claimed that
tariff is not tax and does not affect prices.
Every sensible man tries to buy a cheaply
as he can, with a view to making his income
go as far as possible. With the poor man
it is not a matter of choice He must buy
cheaply, or he must do without the neces-
saries Of life. 1t Is the blessed effect OF
modern inventions ald discoveries in science,
arts. navigation, railroad management,
etc, that they cheaper production and
enable the poor man to buy more than he
formerly could of every useful thing.
Progress has always been in this direction.
Hitherto the distinction OF our age has
been thought to lie chiefly In the fact that,
owing to improved methods and caeapened
production, many things formerly used
only by the rich are now within the income
of the day laborer Great is cheaplessm

benefactors of human kind in our day. Yet

Steel rails sold once at Sll0 a ton, but
Besseme1's invention brought them to $50
So quinlne, which sold formerly a 81 20 an
ounce, now sells at about 50 cents an ounce.
Would it be in the line of progress to re-
store the former high prices on steel and
quinine by enactment? Among the people
a low, but nevertheless positive, notion pre-
walls that such articles should be as cheap
as possible. Commenting on the Economist |
absurdities, an economic writer seems to
think that "if the new tariff can find an
effective defense in tie queer doctrine that
cheapness is, after all, curse and high
prices blessing, we are all clearly mad"
Well, it would not be very surprising if
they were mad Being bled by unjust
laws for tho benefit of a few favored
monopollsts is enough to make any one mad.
But when the price of white printing paper
goes up out of sights and the Economist finds
its party gun shooting the wrong way, it
will have few feeling remarks to make
upon ''the curse" of highness. That is
about the only way to convince such people
that exorbitant prices are virtual robbery.

A Ride that Has Few Parallels.

THE greatest physical achievement ever ac-
complished in this country" said John +. Ora.
ham at the Glenarm to a Denver Ne,cs reporter.
WAS the ride Of F. X. Aubrey from the plaza of
Santa Fe, n NJ. 70 the public square at indie
pendence, Mo-, distance of nearly 500 miles.
through country Inhabited by warlike Indians
a large part OF which was then a sandy desert "
Being urged to give an account of the great
ride, Graham proceeded:
1T was about the year 1855: that Aubrey gave
bis wonderful test of human endurance before
which all Other attempts Of the kind pale into
iasigndcAnos He was q short, heavy ses man
So years Of age, in the prime Of manhood and
strength
His business for ten years as a Santa Fe
trader bad made him perfectly familiar with the
trail and all the stopping places. He was a rer-
feet horseman, ana, although there were great
riders in those days, none of them cared TO dis.
pute the palm with Aubrey.
ION wager Of $1,000 he undertook to ride
alone from Santa Fee to Independence inside OF
six days. It was thirty nine years ago that he
undertook the terrible feat 1t was to be the
supreme effort of bis life, and he sent hall
dozen of the swifteSt horses ahead to ne sta
toned at different points for use 10 the ride
He lett Santa Fe in a sweeping gallop and
that was the pace he kept up during nearly
every hour of the time until ne fell faintipg
from his foam-covered horse in The SQUARE al
Independence.
NO man could keep with the rider, and he
would have killed every horse IN the west rather
than to have failed in the undertaking L took
him just live days and nineteen hours to per
form the feat, and it cost the lives Of several of
his best horses.
After being carried into a room at the old
hotel at Independence Aubrey lay for FORTY
eight hours in dead stupor before he came to
his senses. He would never have recovered
from the shock had it not been for his wonder
full constitution. The feat was unanimously
regarded by western men as the greatest ex-
hibition OF strength and endurance ever known
on the plains "
What became of Aubrey afterward?" was
asked.
After his ride he became the lion of the
west, and was dined and feted at St Louis as
though he had been a conquering hero He
finally met his death at the hand of friend
"One day in 1854, in an alteration with Maj
Richard H. Weightman. the great rider was
stabbed to the heart and dropped dead in a
Santa Fe saloon. He was buried in an unknown
grave. and all that is remembered of Aubrey is
his remarkable ride. weightman was tried
upon the charge OF murder, but was acquitted
and, joining the confederate army, was shot at
battle"

Cooking seems to be rising to the emf
nence Of a fine art In London one woman
of education and refined tastes has already
adopted it as profession and is meeting
with success. Mrs Jennette Miller is an
Irish lady and one of the graduates of the
Westminster cooking school, She is q
woman of good family and social position.
In pretty cap and apron she goes out to
private houses TO prepare company break
fasts. luncheons and dinners. She has more
engagements offered her than she can posi-
bly, fill. aud the remuneration is by no
means stinted. This seems to open up to
women a large new field for usefulness.
Beyond doubt there is strong demand for
the skilled cook. With the trained cook
eshaIl probably have much less need for
the trained nurse.

Rather a strange story is told on pretty
good authority concerning tue lately dis
covered ruins Of great fortified city, built
of dressed granite blocks, on the Mashona-
land plateau, in South Africa. 1t has
aroused great deal of speculation among
the curious and imaginative. Its history
is wholly unknown. Many of the walls are
completely covered by the dense Jungle, and
very old trees grow on the top of the ruins.
If the city or fort was built by natives, it
must have been in remote periods of time,
when there was a higher civilization than
now; but it is just possible that the fort
was constructed under the direction
of early Portuguese explorers, and
by the did Of cheap slave la
Dor. Only a superficial view has been
made of the ruins, but light may be
thrown on the mystery when the houses
themselves have been explored. Light is
rapidly being turned on to the Dark Con-
tinent, and the stories that come from it
are as interesting as as those sent to Europe
from this country 800 to 400 years ago.
Then, however. the news was not widely
disseminated. While accurate news from
Africa is yet very difficult to obtain, when
once secured IL is flashed to all parts Of the
civilized world as readily as reports from
centers Of fashion. But it cannot be very
much longer before Africa is traversed by
railways and electric wires.

Bros. with view of raising a new loan of
100000 sterling in order to pay off GER
tain Argentine obligations, which have
been weighing heavily upon the people of

might almost be considered official, since it

placed, viii be on more favorable terms

In a recent number of the British Medi-
cal Journal DR.. Hart gives a very interest
ing account of his Investigations into the
habit of ether drinking in Ireland. He says
that it is chiefly practiced in the southern
portion of the county of Derry, and that the
anasthetic is drunk by both sexes, and by
the young as we'll as the old. According
to the best authorities the habit is increas-
ing, although the clergy are dong all in
their power to put it down. In tho Cohes-
town district, Tyrone alone, two tons are
used yearly. Those addicted to the habit
say that ether intoxication may be INDUCED
in several times a day, as the effects pass
away quickly. But none the less, insanity
is the certain end to which these unfortu-
mates are fastening" At that rate hilarity
