Very Good.
In the summer Of 1877, = dirty.
tired. looking party Of horsemen. forty
in number, were vending their way
over the rolling prairie land OF West
ern Nebraska. In the lead and to the
rear rode detachment of Uncle Sans
blue-coatsd soldiers, commanded by q
bearded captain whose experience on
the frontier had made his nanSe we'll
known. In the midst carefully guard
ed. were a half dozen Cheyenne In
6ians, and following them came ten
citizens whose gare be.ekened them to
be settlers of the plain, and whose
jaded horses showed that they had
been hard ridden.
The soldiers were jubilant over their
capture, the 1rdisns were stolidly in
different, while tao plainsfien wore
sullen countenances which broode1 no
good for the red prisoners. The In
dians were portion of raiding party
that two days before had attacked out
| lying settlements aud massacrei several
entire families. The citizers were q
party that had been forme1 TO follow
the Indians and avenge their outraTe.
aud that morning they had surrounded
their foe aud were bent on their
| annihilation, when the troopers had
suddenly come upon the scene and 20
the disgust OF the settlers, captured
the whole party and thus robbed them
OF their revenge.
An hour later a camp was selected
by the side of a clear stream which
coursed over a white sandy bottom.
One of the citizens who had not dis
| mounted rode up to the group Of In
dians and addressed a wrinkled buck
whose hard countenance clearly be-
spoke his bloodthirsty nature.
Whats that on your shirt, lnjun"
he asked.
The Indian, seeing that he was at
tracting notice, proudly Strengthened
himself. Fastened to the redsiin $
much -befringed and beaded de.rs.Sin
shirt were three scalps. all from tae
fair heads OF little children, and one OF
them a yellow curl OF q baby. Quick
as thought the white mans pistol came
from the holster on his saddle, and
crack! the redskiu fell forward with q
bullet between his eyes.
In another moment the avenged sot-
tier was speeding across the prairie
and the commanding oiicer had or
d.red detail of his men to capture
him. As they mouated and started in
pursuit one OF his plainsmen said:
Captain. that hair tied to that ar
Injun belonged on his little uns'
heads"
Sound the recall" said the captain
to his trumpeter.

The king Of Siam is said to have in

The walls. ceilings and floors are

Her Practice.

A citizen of Stamford, Conn.,, has
been driven insane by his young lady
neighbor practicing on the piano. and
his mania took very queer form.
When it seized him he went to all the
piano dealers in town and ordered
them to send costly Instruments to the
young lady's houge at intervals OF hall
an hour. As he was rich his odd ordert
were complied with, and the young
woman. despite her objections. had
ten Instruments blocking the street ir
front of her house. besides two In the
parlor and one In the hall. Finally
the madman was captured and the
pianos returned. but the young LADY
has ceased practice.

stand ng and Fun Ensne
There was trouble in the seal family
at the central park Zoo" the other
day. says the New York Times Papa
seal chastised the baby seal for play
ing mischievous pranks, whercat
Mamma seal w;,xed exceedingly wroth
and attacked her lord and master
with such fury that he beat a hasty re-
treat and clambered up on the CO.
ment banks of the tank. There.
greatly to his surprise and sorrow, he
found more trouble. A Surly pelican
was strutting along the edge OF the
tank. and the presence OF the big wet
seal was 10 her unwe come. She
pecked viciously at him with her
sharp beak. and with squeal of pain
he slid back into the water.
Mamma seal, however, had not got
over her anger, and she tbr;,shed the
luckless head Of the family with her
tail SO energetically that he again
sought the dry bank.
But the pelican was waiting for him.
and she proceeded 10 tap him on the
head with her knifelike peak. The
seal could not stand that and once
more he rolled back into the water.
Again and again he was driven out OF
the tank by his spouse, and again and
again he was driven back by the peli-
can.
This domestic comedy lasted for
fully twenty minutes. and it was
watched by half hundred persons.
Finally the irate spouse took pity on
her '.worser'' half and permitted him
to remain unmolested in the tank.

= SCENE or TERRIBLE CONFUSION
and excitement followed the shock Of the
collision. Most Of the passengers were IN
their bertbs asleep when the accident hap
pened. They were suddenly awakened by
TIE shock, aud not knowing the nature OF
the accident that bad betsllel them, they
rushed pell nell on deck without waiting to
dress. They rushed frautic2lly for the boats,
but there was nc time 70 cast loose their
fastenings and lower than away, for the
steamer Eas settling 50 rapidly that to at
tempt this means OF escape meant % 90
down with the ship.
AMONG THE STEKRAGE PASSENGERS.
The greatest fear and panic were eIhib-
TIED by the Storage passengers, who rushed
hither and thitber, with no idea OF saving
themselves, and SO utterly without self
control that all they could do was 10 wiring
their hands and cry for help.
The officers did their utmost TO calm the
terrified passengers. but their efforts were
% & considerable extent unavailing.
The Easily remained alongside the Gam
bier. and rescued many Of the lattsr's pss-
sengers and crew. Notwithstanding her
efforts, the Gambler filled 50 rapidly that Il
was beyond human power 10 save every
body.
SINKING or THE GAMBLER
Seven minutes after the collision th.
Gambler gave a long forward lurch, theI

she swung back and, sinking stern first, s1e
disappeared from view, carrying with bet

long time in the vicinity searching fol
possible survivors, but they found none.
The Easily sustained c1nsi 1erable dam
