course OF people was seen, all attired In
somtre garments and silent as the winds
of heaven. Stretched on each side OF
the river leading from the rocky face OF
the structure were about fifty natives
with solemn visages and stately car
riage. They were robed in long, trail
ing garments OF cheap black calico. and
each bore in the left hand wands made
OF vivaru, encircled with rude brass
snake, which they waved with an ever
increasing speed to the low rythmiC
murmur of the multitude until 1t cul-
minated in frenzied shout, and then
dashed the stakes high in the air,
falling on their faces and grovelling in
the sand.
Out in the middle of the little river,
close TO the dam and standing on rude
platform built Oh piles, was weird and
uncanny form. that Of an aged Indian,
with u long white beard tossed and tan
glcd by the winds Of many years; his
face was wizened and yellow. and bore
the scratches of Father Times rough
shod foot.
AN EXCITING GILMAN.
Then followed scene which almost
beggars description. For two long
hours the high priest poured forth au
unceasing torrent of words, and with an
eloquence aud wealth OF gesture that
would put to shame the most modern OF
modern preachers. 1t was evidently a
prayer, because he lifted his bleared
and sunken eyes TO the blue sky above
and extended his long, withered arms
in pitcous supphcation. IL was in an
obsolete Indian tongue, and only the
older natives present could clearly un-
derstand the tenor of the prayer.
The real meaning Of the rite did not
come out for several days, and then the
persuasive power of gin revealed the
fact that powerful devil had taken up
his abode in the dam, and to create for
himself house had so burrowed the in
terror that the strength of the struct'
ure was threatened. The priests ora
tion had driven out the bad iiend and
introduced Il good one, who would
speedily repair the damage.
Nothing was done toward strength
ening the dam, and the foreign popula-
tion had shaken hands with the danger
so long that they became apathetic on
the subject. There are about two hun
dred and fifty English and
Americans in Cordoba, the latter race
numbering possibly forty or fifty. They

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage of Presence of Mind
in an Emergency.

During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad, the militia
were ordered TO be in readiness in
case OF Il riot, but they were not called
out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon cX-
ccpt in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He
remarked that this was the first great
strike with which he had had cXpur-
ience, and he did not propose to.lose
his head; the only point at which
there had been serious trouble was at
Syracuse, and there Il deputy sheriff
had lost his head and prccipitatcd an
encounter.
Tho strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action Mt var
1ous points along the road, but the
civil authorities were able to cope
with it without calling on the militia.
The test OF Il real mans ability
comes when an emergency arises
which makes hasty call on his good
judgment and discretion. Tho man
who retains his presence Of mind,
retains his equipose and exercises
sound discretion at such critical june
tures. is to be relied on and will be
put to the front.
