Ariel and Mile. Destain had watched
the scene with breathless interest from
their hiding place, and the former was
about to push the canoe into the stream
to rescue his master when he felt it
move, propelled by dusky figure, and
an unseen paddle aided him to guide it.
:sAriel!" It was Marden's voice, and
the boy followed the direction Of the
sound until the bark touched the beach
of another island, from which could be
dimly seen the lights and figures Of
the one they had left. The same dusky
figure stepped out Of the canoe and held
it while Ariel helped Mile. Destain to
land. aaa
sis the lady safe, Ariel?' asked
Marden.
:sShe is safe, M. Marden, said Ninon,
laying her hand on his arm; 'sand oh,
so grateful for her escape from that vii
lain!"

Ariel was now about to solve the prob
lem which had occupied his mind for
the last hour, namely, what that ap-
partition was which he had dimly seen in
.the5c canoe. After much gripping in the
dark he un1bled over bIanketed form
reclining on a bank, apparently asleep.
He returned to Marden and led him to
the spot, but the figure remained ed mo- ne o

STOCK YARD NOTES.
The Local Market.

A fairs of the live stock market are
trifle dull just at present. There
are fewer receipts and also fewer
sales. The horse market continues
to hold up its head in the matter of
prices, and the same demand for good
stock prevails, also the tabOoing of
thin animals continues.
Further than this there is nothing
new to report, save that besides the
usual demand for choice horseflesh,
there is some inquiry after mules.
In the beef market there is less
confidence than usual and some
dealers look for a drop in the mark ct
which is expected to take place in the
coming month. The export trade IN
beef cattle for points in Northeastern
Texas, formerly of good proportions,
has fallen off. Prices are about the
same as previously quoted, the de-
mand being always for choice stock
Few hogs, mutton and goats are on
the market. The butchers are not will
ing to pay good prices, so that there
is little incentive for a supply of these
animals.
ROUND-UPS.
w. w. Caps, of Salado, is here
with stock.
Ed. Ivy, of Moore Station is among
yesterdays arrivals.

icled among yesterdays arrivals.

Lnmho,s Remains at Rest.

Professor Marshall, of Tufts college,
received dispatch from the Hon. P. 7.
Barnum, saying that Jumbo was on his
way from Bridgeport, and would arrive
at the Barnum museum in the morning.
Preparations were Immediately begun
for receiving him, and on account of his
immense height the entire doorway and
stone sills of the museum had to be re-
moved. A four horse team carried him
from the Old Colony depot to the college,
where Mr.. Barnum had sent a gang of
workmen to assist in getting him into
the museum, and while they were un.
loading him the students, led by the
members of the Glee club, gathered on
the museum steps and sang the "Jumbo
Cantepic," composed by the leader Of
the glee club, narrating the history and
exploits of Jumbo. The work of getting
him into the museum was concluded late
in the afternoon, when he was placed by
the side of the baby elephant, Bridge
port, which will be his permanent rest
ing place, and where he may be seen any
afternoon by visitors. Boston Post.

RaInInr A.hr. lran . cirar sty.

An American has arrived in this city
from Gunnajuata, where he was during
a rain of ashes that fell in that city. The
peculiar phenomenon, according TO a
statement made to reporter, began at
about 1920 o'clock in the morning. when
ashes started to fall from a cloudless
sky, and when there was no wind pre-
vailing near the earth, The lower class
es were badly frightened, thinking that
the strange phenomenon was the pre-
cursor of some dire event. The churches
were sought by them, where they offered
up prayers to the Creator to save them
from destruction.
At times the fall of the gray material
from the sky was very thick, resembling
materially snowstorm. The buildings,
streets, trees and people were covered
with ashes at the conclusion of the pecu-
liar storm. The ash storm was very
general in the state of Guanajuata. 1t is
the general opinion that the ashes were
waited by a northeasterly current of air
across hundreds of miles of country from
the active crater of the Columa volcano.

Cotton King and shoddy Queen.
[From Wade,s Fibre Fabric.l

The proposed tariff bill shuts out
camel's hair, &C., and unless cotton is
included the Peruvian crop will prob
ably be increased to fill the gap. Ger
tainly enough shoddy machinery will
be added to that now running to sup
ply two or three pounds for every pound
Of wool, &C., cut off by the advance In
duty. How can this help the wool
grower? AS q rule he will rebel stoutly
as any one against paying an increase
in price for his garments for his wool.
Consequently he will not get the higher
price. Our mills are already paying
every cent or fraction thereof they can
afford for the woods they now buy. II
cotton is king, shoddy is at least queen;
the two are likely to rule If the people
will have itso.

A Governor with a Veto.

The Legislature of Kentucky passed
a law granting to municipal corpora
tions within Kenton county, the power
to permit saloons to run their busi-
ness on Sunday. Governor Buck
'ner vetoed the act and from his veto
message we take the following which
we recommend as good Democratic
reading:
GAS q rule, the principle of self-gov-
ernment underlies all the theories OF
our legislation; but it is local self-gov-
ernment subject to the general laws OF
the sovereign power, and especially to
the organic law established by society
for its protection. The organic law
forbids the granting Of special privi-
leges to one class of persons, and by nec-
essary implication forbids that one per-
son or any class of persons shall be
punished for acts which may be COM
mitted by another class of impunity.
"The legislative department of the
State Government has no authority to
enact legislation so unequal In its effects
on different persons; much less has it a
right to confer upon others the power
to do what is forbidden to the General
Assembly, itself. " -
"Tt is thus proposed to confer upon
these municipalities the power to dis
criminate at will against any class OF
the community and in favor of any
other class. They may infiict fine OF
$lOO on the groceryman, who sells a
loaf of bread on credit to a starving
woman, and may at the same time
turn loose upon the community hund-
reds of saloons and tippling houses,
with all their corrupting influences and
their power for evil"

Automatic Car Coupling.

A tabulation in the Office of the state
railroad commission shows that there are
35,4 ,423 freight cars equipped with auto
matte couplers out of 1870, 1878 such cars in
use on the different railroads wholly or
partly within this state. These auto
matte couplers were brought into use I'M
der the law of 1884, which provided for
the putting of such couplers on all new
cars built or old ones repaired. In ac-
cordance with the automatic car coup
ling law of last year all freight cars used
in this state will have to be SO equipped

A glance at their bizarre uniform
showed Horton that they belonged to
Maximilian's side, but 1t was evident
that they were not regular troops-in
fact they were about as tough custom
ers as the Mexican guerrillAs.
The commander Of the party, a
small man OF middle age, with black
hair, and, a mild, pale face, courteous

fdent.'
The meal was over and the captain
was smoking. 1t struck the guest that
his hosts appearance had undergone a
singular change. He no longer looked
mild, but ferocious.
What do you think of that tree?
asked the captain.
Horton made some complimentary
remark, when the captain yelled:
Glad it suits you, senior; you will
swing on it in five minutesp
Half q dozen men seized Horton
and bound him. The prisoner pro-
tested. He said that he was Con-
federate soldier-an American-and
had not taken sides in Mexican af-
fairs.
Il don't believe a word of It, said
the captain. you look like a Yam

The rush of troop of cavalry and
the clatter of sabers interrupted the
conversation ....
A troop of Austrian cavalry had
galloped up to the very spot. Riding
at the head of the horsemen were
Prince Salm Salm and the Princess.
The prisoners heart gave wild
leap, but he did not have to speak.
The Princess spoke to her husband,
who gave Horton a keen glance. Then
beckoned to the lmperalist Captain
and gave him an order.
In half minute Horton was free,
and on his horse, facing towards Car
lotta, the Confederate colony.
sGadl' he told his friends, it was
close shave, but am here. The Prin-
cess, though, what a woman she is;

Saved your neck said Edwards.
'Enoughl' cried Horton, I'll take
what I've got and be thankful.
The Confederate never saw the
Princess again. He left Mexico before
the downfall of the empire, and when
read of the heroic part played to-
ward the last by that strange woman,
he said:
well, she was worth fighting for.

A Mothers Counsel.

The great men of the world have generally owed
much to the character and training of their moth
ers. If we 60 back to their childhood we see
there the maternal influences which form the aims
and habits of their future life.
Bayard, the flower of the French knighthood,
the soldier without fear or reproach never forgot
the parting words of his mother when he left home
to become the page of nobeman. She said to
him. with all the tenderness of loving heart:
"My boy, serve God first. Pray to him night
and morning. Be kind and charitable to all.
Beware of fatterers, and never be one yourself.
Avoid envy hatred and lying as vices unworthy
of Christian, and never neglect to comfort wild
ows and orphans"

The Power to Converse.

The power to converse well is very great
charm You think anybody can talk? How mis-
taken you are. Anybody can chatter. Anybody
exchange idle gossip. Anybody can recapitulate
the troubles of the kitchen, the cost of the last
new dress, and the probable doings of the neigh
bors But to talk wisely, instructively, fresh and
delightfully."-, is an immense accomplishment. It
implies exertion, observation, study of books and
people, and receptvity of impression. Plato ban
nished the musicians from his feasts that the charm
of conversation might have no interference, but in
our later fashions many prefer music rather than
the gossip of the hour which often dsgenerates
into trivialities wearisome and commonplace
