ffow Queer Old AInine Character Faced
an Engine.
The first appearance Of q railway
train in the city of Portland, saws tho
Lewiston Journal, was q source of
great wonderrncnt to most Of tho coun-
try people who used to visit the place
for the purpose of marketing their prod
uce- Largo crowds used to gather
about the time for the incoming
train. Among those who used to lounge
about the depot was IN elderly man
who for several years had been IN in
mate of the poor-housc.
His tall, manly form, erect carriaro
md finely cut faco plainly indicated n
good intellect originally, and n man
who had seen better days. 1t wns said
that he once held an Office Of high ranl,
in the State militia, but insanity had
brought him to grief and want. He
used to travel the city throughout each
day. arraycd in his regimentals, with q
dilapidated cooked hat, pair of rusty
epaulcts and high-toppcd boots, armed
with long rusty sword, md waving q
tattered flng. For many years he was
known rs General Warren"
Ono day an uncommonly great crowd
stood in and about the depot awaiting
tho morning train. Soon the rattle of
the cars was heard in the distance. Tho
General was seen to dart from among
the crowd and rush along the track
waving his flag and gcsticulntinY VIC
lcntly with his sword. ut the same time
In loud and peremptory tone ordering
halt. The engineer, thinking some
obstruction was on the track, whistled
down breaks, and quickly as if in obed-
ience to the Generals order, came to n
stop.
The General stood his ground without
uttering q word.
Whats the matter?" inquired the
engineer, as soon as he came within
Mailing distance.
: Why" coolly replied the General,
II have fought and vanquished lions,
bears, tigers-yca, men. Do you sup
pose l am going to turn back for n
cook stove on trucl1s?"
Loud pcals of laughter from both en-
ployes and passengers followed this
cool rcjoiner.
The good-natured engineer presented
the General with silver dollar, which
was followed by numerous other gifts
from the conductor and passengers;
For several days the General was lion
lied, but like the removed Christopher
SLY, his sudden elevation rendered him
SO impudent and meddlcsolnc as to
oblige the authorities to place him un-

Tho Cruel Attack OF Ono Arab Tribe Upon

Tho Cruel Attack or Ono Arab Tribe Upon
Another.
Soon after Tippo Tbs occupation OF
Stanley falls in 1870, says Herbert Ward
In Scr1bnor's, rumors reached Yabuli
and tho noiShboring villages of opprcs-
sion and persecution by the Mnnyema.
Chiefs met together to inquire Of ench
other the reason Of this invasion. Less
than three years after Stanley's fight
with the Dasoko ut the mouth of the
Aruwini, the Manyemn mercenaries of
the Arabs attacked and destroyed sew
eral villages higher up tho sumo river,
having Travelled overland from tho Con-
go through tho dense forests below
Stanley falls; and descending the Aru-
wini river In canoes they laid waste oil
the villages by the way, capturing men
and women and imposing fines of ivory
for their redemption upon those of tho
natives who were fortunate enough to
escape to the woods.
Although every precaution was taken
by tho people Of Yabuli to guard against
surprise, they instinctively felt i'm
pending evil, and gloom settled over
tho village affecting young and old
alike. They all appeared to roalize
their isolated position, escape being i'm
possible, as their ncighbors were ut en-
NIFTY with them and with each other; and
the poor wretches lived in condition
of fear bordering upon panic.
At list the evil day arrived. Early
ono morning, just before daybreak,
they were suddenly startled by the loud
reports Of the Manyema gums. The
forest around the village appeared alivo
with armed men, who rushed among
their dwellings from all sides, firing
rccklessly, sometimes in the air, into
the doors of the huts, and ut the panic
stricken savagcs, who rushed toward
the woods for shelter. A few of the
Drawer natives stood their ground and
hurled spcurs and knives at their assail-
ants, but one by one they dropped, shot
by their brutal enemy.
After firing their muzzlc-loading mus
l5ets many of the Manycma rushed upon
the natives and dubbed them with tho
butt end Of their guns. Tho women,
encountered with their children, whom
they were bravcly trying to carry off to
the shelter of tho woods, were soon
ovcrtakcn by the Manycma who rough
ly threw them to tho ground, and
bound their arms and legs. Nearly
two-thirds of the women and children
were captured, including the favorite
vito of IolSo; but many of the men and
few women managed to escape to the
woods

Tho Militia

There is common mistake in con-
founding the National guard with tho
rlilitia, says tho Rocky Mountain News.
BY militia we mean every male citi-
zen between eighteen and forty
five years Of age who is not m
enlisted man. This is the real def
milton of the word. Enlisted men
are from the National guard, and the
history OF the country shows that the
wars Of America havo been fought by
enlisted men. 1t Is to them we must
look for defense in the hour of danger
much more than to the regular army.
The National guard forms the nucleus
or the volunteer army in times of war.
Companies of forty or fifty men are
Quickly filled up, and in week or two
the new recruits catch on to the new
life and may be sent to the front. With
out the preliminary organization as a
basis such rapid preparation would be
impossible. The enrolment of the Ma
tionai guard now reaches one hundred
and eight thousand in the various States
and could quickly be increased to one
million. BY increasing tho companies
to one hundred men each Colorado could
send two thousand volunteers to the
field inside of thirty-six hours.

the name of Hoff, but they
have been compelled to add the

for Johann Hoff's. Counter
feits invariably contain a large
