Too Beautiful to Kill.

II
In the Pittsburg Post Is this story
Of Fergus, Scotch lad fourteen
years old. His father had given him
a new rife and a new canoe, and now
in the Adirondacks. near Upper st.
Regis Lake, he was expecting to
shoot his first deer. On an August
day he went from camp with Calvin,
the guide, and was about to embark
ON the lake.
1t was SO lovely that Fergus held
his breath to look, till all at once he.
felt Calyin's hand on his shoulder
One look at the guides face and he
knew that something was happening.
At first Fergus heard nothing but
his owp heart beats. Then, as he re-
covered himself a little, be could
hear a rustic and an occasional
crackle, and presently, looking UP
the bank, he discerned the swaying
of a bush. Something was moving
there.
Suddenly the bushes parted and
head looked through! It was the
head of which Fergus had lovingly
and longlngly dreamed. a beautiful
antlered head held proudly up, the
eyes alert, the nostrils wide apart.
As the creature broke from cover
his mouth was open. he was hot and
thirsty and eager to get at the water.
docs he see us?" whispered Cal.
vim.
i Fergus shook his head.
"Let him get we'll out of the bushes,
then raise your rife" whispered the
guide.
Inch by inch Fergus had already
lifted his rifle and was now looking
along it when the deer advanced,
coming twenty feet nearer. Then
assuring himself that all was safe, he
stood, his ears at sharp angle, dir.
rectly facing Fergus.
Fergus could see the beautiful,
scared eyes Of the deer.
Fire" said Calvin.
But instead, Fergus dropped his
rifle to his side. There was sudden
! movement, a crashing of bOugh and
the place was empty.
"why, Fergusp cried CALVIN,
! disappointed and amazed, "why,
: Fergus!"

Man and Nature.
Hartford Cournt

Human ingenuity has achieved Q
great many things. Look at the
Brooklyn bridge, the EifFel tower,
the great ocean steamers, the tele.'
graph, telephone, printing press, etc.
lt's q great record Of utilizing the
forces Of nature. But take this same
all-cocnquering man and let Q cy.
clone come up, and the smsrtest
thing that he can do Is TO run down
cellar and hide like o wood chuck in
hole underground. And, while the
racket is going on above him, he
does not give his meditations 10 the
success that man has in harnesslng
nature.
To be sure we have put up IN our
cities some mighty buildings OF stone
and iron, which, though they hayen't
been tested, are believed 10 be able
Ia stand up against any cyclone that
tries TO waltz with them. But let
even the architect Of the best Of these,
the man most aware Of les mighty
strength, be in il when an earthquake
begins to sway things, and he will be
the first to run for the open. There
is no safety In great walls, If once the
earth begins the trembling that it
shows signs Of somewhere almost
daily and that now and then in his.
tory it has experienced with severity.
These things tend 10 mitigate the
msgni6cence Of human achievement.
The fact Is We live amid forces that
we do not control at all and when
they happened 10 exert themselves We
are absolutely powerless. This hsps
pens seldom, and the worst that writ
ten history's brief record covers Of
such demonstrations have been com.
paratively light beside what has pre-
ceded. The study Of geology, any
investigation Of the globe, viii show
what awful work has b,en going on
in the past on this very piece of earth
that we call firma, because il usually
seems so.
| But the forces that threw up the
mountains, that cut the valleys and
canons, that buried the coal and the
phosphates-that shaped the surface
of the earth for Us; where should We
be if they broke loose sgainf We
get just q hint Of them now and then
in the cyclone, the cloudsburst, the
tldalwave, the earthquake and % on.
But when they begin 10 show thems
selves We forget all about the supre-
macy Of man and devote ourselves 10
wandering whether anything will be
left on hin.

To the Colored People of Virginia.

Whereas at a conference of represen-
tatives of the Colored people of the
State. held in the city of Richmond on
the 18th of December 1889, it was resolved
that delegated State convention be
held at the city of Richmond, on the
third Tuesday in April $780, to take into
consideration the political, educational,
moral and financial condition of the
colored people and all other interests
affecting them as a people and as citi-
zens of the United States and of the
State of Virginia, and to enact such a
general policy for their government and
conduct, as shall tend to enhance and
improve their condition.
Now, therefore, in compliance with
said resolve State convention to be
composed of representatives elected by
the people, will assemble in the City of
Richmond at noon on the third Tuesday
of April 1890, for the purposes stated.
Representation is based upon the United
States census returns of 1880, that is to
say, one delegate for every two hundred
colored voters, providing that each
county shall have not less than two del
egateS.
The secretary of each meeting held
to elect delegates in compliance with this
call, will forward the names and post
Office address of the delegates elected at
such meetings to the secretary of the
State, w. w. Evans, Petersburg, Va,
Immediately after the meeting shall have
adjourned.
By order of the Executive committee.
J. T. WILSON, Chairman.
w. w. EVANS, Secretary.

Confederate Pensioners.

Nearly every old Confederate in GeOr
gia who lost leg or an arm in the SER
| vice of the State avails himself of hel
generosity. They feel that they have
1 earned the stipend to which the Crowd
err act entities them, says the Savannah
NeaDs, and they draw it irrespective OF
! private financial condition.
Perhaps the most notable name on the
pension role is that of General Long
street. He gets fifty dollars yearly for a
disabled arm, the result of shot in the
neck. Justice Mark Blandford of the
Supreme Court, receives one hundred
dollars for the loss of an arm; Judge
Newman, of the Northern District u s.
Court, gets one hundred dollars, and DR..
j. S. Todd like amount. Major Joe
Blance of Cedartown is another we'll
known Georgian who draws his pension
regularly, having left an arm behind him
on the field of battle. Judge George N.
Lester sustained q like loss and draws
the same amount, and Comptroller-G Gen
eral Wright gets as much for the loss of
leg.
One hundred and fifty dollars is the
biggest pension paid, and perhaps G.. c..
Cadle, of Richmond county, is the most
completely disables Confederate on the
pension list. He lost both legs and both
arms, besided being wounded in the
head and suffering other permanent in
iures. R. H. Nations, of Whitefeld, is
also one of the worst crippled and best
paid of the number. He received wounds
which necessitated the amputation of
both legs above the knees. E. G.. Hig
ginbotham had both legs taken off below
the knees.
Among those who draw the maximum
amount of $3.50 annually there are no
lncc ft,Oy, ,ryI,o L.
loss of both eyes. Gen. William Phillips
of Marietta lost the sight of one eye, but
draws no pension; neither does Gen. Phil
Cook, though he was shot all to pieces
and received some Injuries of perma-
nent nature
